Crimson Scarf
Episode 1
Author-San
Pleasure to make your acquaintance~ 😚
Author-San
I'm not new to Mangatoon, but I sure am new to commitments...(writing stories)
Author-San
So pls feel free to point out anything that seems too out of the ordinary! Although you aren't here to read something 'ordinary' are you~ 😉
Khaos
(Honestly speaking, not a great time of the year, to roam around in torn rags)
Khaos
(I remember the time when it used to be my favourite season)
Khaos
(what changed?...can't remember)
Khaos
Whatever, I need to find a job. Cause I am NOT going to beg for food.
Khaos
Let's see what I can find, I don't have much time...
It's currently the middle of the night,
Breeze flowing through the streets,
Dead silent,
Leave for the noise of the flickering streetlights.
Khaos
... What was I thinking?
{shivers}
Khaos
No one would be able to help me at this hour...
Khaos
Is this how it ends?
Khaos
D*mn, didn't think I'd ever be in a situation like this.
Khaos
But then again, I didn't think before either and that's how I got into this mess
Khaos
All I needed was one last chance, I would've changed everything...
He lays like this, lifeless, for hours.
[A black car slowly arrives at the scene and the door opens]
[A dark figure, wearing a suit, approaches the boy]
Clarence Candwell
Let's hope she's right this time.
[He picks up the boy, lays him in the car, and drives off leaving no traces]
[What does the future entail for the boy?]
Episode 2
[He picks up the boy, lays him in the car, and drives off leaving no traces]
_Continued_
They reach a grandiose mansion...
Clarence Candwell
*picks the boy up, and brings him inside the mansion*
Clarence Candwell
...He's very light-weight. Just how malnourished is he?
Clarence Candwell
*brings him into a bedroom, and puts him on the bed*
Khaos
*groans, then makes himself comfortable*
Clarence Candwell
*Smiles*
Clarence Candwell
I should inform her of my arrival...
Khaos
(woah, this is a lot to take in,)
Khaos
(I'm indoors? But I have no contacts left that would've helped me in that situation!)
Khaos
(Who tf brought me here!?)
Khaos
*looks around the room, analyzing every detail that he can find*
Khaos
(I should probably confront my...saviors ig?
I really have to think about what I should do next)
Khaos
(Thank them, give myself some time to heal, ask them for some more help...
Y'know what? I'll leave the overthinking for later. Let's just meet...whoever it is I'm going to meet.)
Khaos
*gets out of bed and walks towards the door*
Khaos
*Inhales deeply, then opens the door*
Khaos
(There's a corridor, but no signs of life just yet so let's keep walking)
Khaos
*walks quietly, and in a few minutes, reaches the Living room*
There sitting, was a woman of power. It was evident in the very air surrounding her.
Her grace and slow movements of mere sipping the tea, and the turning of newspaper pages spoke volumes as to how grandiose her reputation must be.
Elizabeth Grandjay
Marvelous morning, isn't it?
*not looking at him*
Khaos
... I... wouldn't know, actually.
Khaos
I haven't exactly been getting proper sleep these days.
Elizabeth Grandjay
... You're surprisingly calm. Was this always a trait of yours?
Khaos
Well, the last few events have been too hectic for me to expect anything out of the ordinary,
Khaos
So the only thing I have on my mind right now, is how to move forward.
Elizabeth Grandjay
*smiles, and looks towards him*
Glad to know we won't be wasting our time with pleasantries now, will we?
Khaos
Not at all. I would like to know your name though, if that's alright.
Elizabeth Grandjay
My name is
Elizabeth Grandjay.
Elizabeth Grandjay
And I have a proposition for you.
What could she possibly negotiate with seemingly, a stranger she picked up from the streets!
What can this stranger do!
Expect revelation in next episodes <3
Episode 3
Elizabeth Grandjay
...And I have a proposition for you-
Khaos
*Interrupts* Proposition accepted. What do we have to do now?
(I don't think I have any other options)
Elizabeth Grandjay
*dumbfounded* eh..
Elizabeth Grandjay
Sure, why not...
You may begin by telling us your name.
Khaos
... I am not comfortable revealing that information.
Is there any other way we can do this?
Elizabeth Grandjay
Understandable. In cases like these, we prefer to use aliases! Y'know like a nickname, but cooler haha
Khaos
That would be perfect!
(Now what should I use as alias)
Elizabeth Grandjay
You don't have to think about it just yet, for there is no requirement for it at the moment.
Elizabeth Grandjay
I'll just be explaining how things work here, and how you can help us.
Elizabeth Grandjay
If it wasn't exactly apparent, we are a Mafia.
Khaos
(...shit, I was not expecting that.)
Elizabeth Grandjay
But! We are not some ordinary mafia.
Elizabeth Grandjay
We don't run around committing war crimes because we like to, and we don't go around collecting taxes from people.
Elizabeth Grandjay
Instead, we infiltrate the diverse economic sectors of the country, and focus on building a few important things.
Elizabeth Grandjay
1. Reputation
It helps us influence others when in the time of need.
Elizabeth Grandjay
2. Connections
We create trustworthy allies, and help each other thrive.
Elizabeth Grandjay
3. Careers
When all is lost, we have ourselves to look after. There is no telling how things may turn out, but the career gives you a backup option.
Elizabeth Grandjay
Of course, you have to be good at your job for is to be beneficial, so we only pick those that we like.
Elizabeth Grandjay
*smiles at his cuteness*
Elizabeth Grandjay
Normally, we put the newbies in the training program, for an introduction to this work-life balance, and tests on their capabilities
Elizabeth Grandjay
But with your background, I think you should skip to the part where you decide what you are going to do.
Khaos
T-this is… Marvelous...
Khaos
Absolutely Marvelous...
Elizabeth Grandjay
Anything that intrigues you dear!
Khaos
*looks at her with determination*
Elizabeth Grandjay
You'll have to work very hard to be the best at whatever you decide to do, wherever you decide to go.
Khaos
I will! I sure will Mrs. Grandjay
Elizabeth Grandjay
Do you wish to see our training program before you make a decision?
Khaos
That would help a lot!
The future seems to be very near
The boy with an alias shall prove to shine the brightest he can!
We can expect great things from him!
Stay updated for the next episodes! (no pun intended)
