"Drugs, weapons, gangs, violence, corrupt politicians....it's the stuff that fuels a peaceful societies nightmares. We want our children, our families, our friends and our neighbors to be safe. But, the Yankan and Inago have been coming in hot, feuding over who will win, who will gain control of our once thriving city at the expense of innocent lives. The government officials are doing everything they can to stop them, but they can't all be trusted either, can they? Life has been turned upside by the greedy and malicious hands of the gangs, officers and politicians and our once safe city, is no longer that. It is time for us to start picking sides, or hiding, because this is only the beginning the decline..."

After four years of working on this plot and story- we are finally open. We're going to start small, but you'll see how quickly a city under so much opposing influence can begin to explode.

The last time Jasper walked to the store, he was mesmerized by the roaring haze caused by the heat. Today it looked more like embers gently shimmering above the asphalt. It reminded him that it was the beginning of Fall. Fall was the herald of holidays, colorful leaves, and cooler weather. It was bright and festive yet carried a feeling of warmth that made Jasper feel well-rested. It was a thought that made him sentimental, an easy smile playing across his features as he went to hopefully surprise WR with more goodies. Though as he approached the garage, he quickly realized those legs were far too long to be the androgynous individual he expected.
Jasper stood there and met his gaze, his easy smile betrayed by the observant gleam in his eyes. They seemed annoyed, perhaps because the car they were working on looked like shit. Their tone of voice was blunt and their greeting abrasive, at least that was familiar. In contrast, Jasper stood with a cloth tote in his hand with no car nearby. He was dressed fashionably in a way that further amplified his androgynous appearance. Even though he was in stilettos, he seemed perfectly balanced on the uneven ground.
He stepped to a familiar table and leaned back against it with balletic grace. Using his arms to support himself, he would let the tote slide down to the table. He would speak to Quin as though he was speaking to a friend, using his naturally honeyed voice to add to the sense of friendliness.
"Hello to you too. I'm a friend of WR and brought them lunch. By your friendly introduction, I assume they're already out for lunch. That in mind... you hungry?"

Jasper once again found himself being carefully observed by the short mechanic. His expression never wavered, though his curiosity glimmered in his eyes. They were so polarizing in their moods. It made him think of a light switch. Only when flipped the rooms now a new color and has an entirely different layout. Jasper began wondering if they had tells for their moods or maybe if certain actions evoked certain emotions. Maybe, if they spoke again, he could figure it out with time. For now, he felt he should just enjoy the moment.
Their sarcasm led to another observation. WR was a blunt person. Jasper was used to being talked to like this by the Yankan, but it seemed to be WR's default. With how prominent crime was, he would be more surprised if they hadn't been exposed to gang members. Jasper took a hit of his lemonade as WR did before attempting to leave his thoughts.
"There's a package? You mean there's even more to you than I could see at first glance? How exciting!"
Jasper met their energy with playful banter of his own. Brushing off any possible negativity they could have been throwing his way. Then they seemed to be deep in thought again. Jasper would tilt his head at this, acknowledging it without much thought or emphasis. Then they asked another question, an important one. Names turned strangers into acquaintances and, added a sentiment to a face.
"Nixon, but my friends call me Dick. Or at least they did before I killed them for calling me Dick. You?"
He would smile and push his hair out of his face as he awaited a response.

Jasper almost choked on his drink when he heard WR's response. Instead, he would pause mid-sip, process their mildly flirtatious comment, and set down his lemonade. As if a switch turned on, his smile became more inviting, with a devilish flair. He leaned back further and let his eyes seem to glitter as they softened slightly. Subtle changes that showed he was willing to play along. He had no intentions of taking it further, but there was no harm in having fun.
"Not usually... I try to help out and be on my way. But sometimes, I find special exceptions."
Suddenly, at the mention of snacks, they would go back to child-like excitement. Jasper giggled quietly at this, amused at the sudden changes of energy. When they squeaked, his eyes seemed to light up and his smile grew. It was a heartwarming reaction, something he didn't expect from the outspoken individual.
Then, in the blink of an eye, they seemed suspicious. Excluding a slight head-tilt, Jasper's expression remained the same. He made mental notes and had plenty of questions but chose to stay silent and let them conduct their vibe check. This decision seemed to pay off when they returned to their flirtatious demeanor. He was starting to get the hang of their ebb and flow, returning to his flirtatious posture to match the vibe. Their last comment made him chuckle, a cute edge briefly surfacing from beneath his calm, sultry mien.
"Well, you're certainly more entertaining than anyone else I could be talking to right now. Probably the most laughs I've had all week."
He would pause to take another sip, happy to indulge their desire for compliments.

Jasper would watch as WR moved back to their chair. They seemed deep in thought, a stark contrast to the blunt individual from a moment ago. Jasper's head would tilt with curiosity at this, but he wouldn't comment. Their response was a return to form, though it had some strange undertones. Regardless, Jasper would take it in good stride and respond with a similar tone.
"No, your boiled soda rolled my way so I returned it. Then I realized you were funny and decided to offer you lemonade as an excuse to talk some more."
Jasper would find an open spot on a table to lean back against and set down his stuff. He reached into his bag and threw WR a lemonade over his shoulder, landing right in their hand. Then Jasper turned and rested his arms on the table behind him. He would chuckle at their last comment but make a note of it in his head. He would then proceed to ask with a feigned pout.
"Aww, so I'm not cool enough to be a part of your club? I was even going to share some snacks with you."
Jasper would toss them another bag, some snacks he liked to bring for the office. Assorted chips, candies, and other junk food could be found inside the bag. Notably for WR, a box of cinnamon candy near the top. Jasper would take a sip of lemonade, his eyes still playfully fixed on WR.

Jasper was immersed in his work again. He sat in front of his laptop with headphones in his ears; one more expedition in an endless sea of footage and audio files. He felt submerged beneath waves of case files and reports of criminal activity. Jasper was desperately trying to find context, trying to build a map to the information that might be able to bring this city back above the water. Unfortunately, he was neither a captain nor a cartographer. No, he was sinking deeper, staring out the glass and praying he could figure this out before everyone drowned.
Truthfully, the crime wasn't going anywhere. It had been plaguing the city for years but Jasper's anxiety made his job seem so urgent. After a while, he noticed his hands were shaking, and he had a headache. As he checked the time he realized that he had been staring at this screen for 6 hours. Shit, it was already 2 pm, and he was hungry. Luckily across the street was his favorite coffee shop. He packed his things and realized at the door that it was pouring rain.
The image made him smile. The splash of droplets mixed with the city lights made a luminescent glow above the ground. The colors contrasted the usual greys of the city streets and greens of the shrubbery to create an effect akin to watercolors spreading over a canvas. This, amplified by the naturally dim lighting caused by clouds, made the usual doldrums alluring to the eyes. Readying his umbrella, he went to the inviting yellow glow across the street, his lighthouse in the storm.
Inside were brick walls draped in ivy, a ceiling with atmospheric lights shining through faux hanging flowers. Jasper would grab an order of tea and his favorite panini before sitting at the window seats, undeterred by whoever may be sitting there. If alone he would idly enjoy watching the rain as he slowly ate, secretly hoping for a reason to converse. Anything to get his mind away from work.

It took a lot for Jasper to stifle a giggle as WR muttered under their breath and scrabbled about their garage. This veneer would dissolve into an effervescent chuckle as the short individual turned. They were so animated, and their expressions reminded him of a cartoon. Their childlike demeanor made him feel like a babysitter walking in on a misbehaving child. He was curious about what this individual was doing in a garage but would keep his presuppositions to himself. After all, he knew better than anyone not to judge ostensibly.
His expression would become dulcet once again after WR spoke, albeit with a brighter smile than before. They were brash, hot-headed, and unrefined in the most entertaining way possible. Jasper's hasty opinion was then confirmed when they proceeded to chug a hot soda like a sociopath. This warranted a raised eyebrow and an expression of playful disbelief. When he responded, he did so casually, unphased by the demand of his short acquaintance.
"Yeah, I have a Jeep back at my place, but I prefer walking if possible. You want a cold drink or what?"
He would then lift up one of the bags in his hand, revealing that in it were bottles of lemonade, still cold as he'd only been walking a short distance. Hopefully, he could keep the fun going a bit longer.

It was another summer afternoon in the city. The day was still young but aging quickly, denoted by the golden tint of the sunlight and the haze of heat rising from the asphalt beside Jasper. He liked watching the distortions and idly creating theories of why they may occur. It was something to focus on while he carried some groceries home. The adventure in his thoughts would end when he noticed something rolling towards him.
He would gently stop it with his foot, catching it between the stilettos and the foot of his heels. Looking down, he found that it was a can of soda. He looked to his left, where it came from, and saw someone rummaging around a garage. They were short, dressed effeminately, and, from Jasper's view of them bent over, had a nice ass. Jasper enjoyed helping out, and even if the soda isn't what they are looking for, he wouldn't mind stopping to help them look. Wearing an easy smile, Jasper addressed them in an androgynous, bubbly timbre.

BACKGROUND
Jasper's childhood was cold. His parents hated each other and only chose to stay together because they believed it would be best for him. They frequently fought and even weaponized Jasper against each other until they decided the best thing to do was send him away to boarding school. Each year when he returned home, something was missing. Family photos that immortalized their few happy moments were replaced with dispassionate paintings. Sentimental items like stuffed animals or art projects were missing from their places. The surreal feeling of his home becoming a house was amplified by the screaming matches downstairs every summer when he came home. Jasper doesn't remember his childhood very well and believes it's for the best.
He does, however, remember what got him through it. When he was young, he was fascinated with movies. Watching TV was a great distractor from the conflict, and the idea of cinematography fascinated him. He also had an obsession with true crime, originating from movies and branching into literature and beyond. These distractors kept his dissociated mind busy and eventually became his primary field of study. So, with a degree in criminal psychology minoring in film, he decided to make a difference in the world.
Noting the crime and corruption in his home city, Jasper decided to join the PBIA. He got the job due to his wide array of skills and knowledges. Currently, he is assigned undercover to infiltrate and gain information on the Yankan. He attained a low ranking in the gang and has already gotten a few people arrested. It's not much yet, but one day he hopes to find some information that can make a real difference.
