If a buyer is still needed, I might suggest Alienna! She could be a great fit as temporary owner of the Den. She works at the Den though she's not a wolf. Makes her familiar with the area, the people, and still asserts that she's neutral. She's met Cole Harris and I'm sure Pie4Pigs will attest that she wouldn't be lined up against a wall and shot when the attack occurs. She's a character that's present in the world and knowledgeable with basic management. In-character, she's absurdly rich and could afford a partly-sealed super-space-castle and tavern. She would happily follow LaserLlamas guidelines without starting her own dramas. Finally, when the time comes for ownership to be passed, I'm sure it would be done with no hassle. I might be getting the wrong tone for what you want of an owner, but if you're looking for someone to (temporarily) make the WD a neutral ground that retains much of its previous personality, Alienna is almost a perfectly sculpted character to take that role.

Hrm well as much as I love all the ideas for this, Nox Mars and I have talked a bit about this event a little more. The Den will no longer sadly be attacked, however (To Cole) we'd be fine with the SSS attacking some of the Wolves when they're separated from the rest of the Pack, specifically Magnus and Ro, so that Magnus can die and Ro can be captured. As far as a buyer go we've been talking about this and we'll be extending the black market eventually so that it may have a residential district, which would allow people to buy a house or make a store of some kind. We're still working on ideas as far as that stuff goes. As for the reason we're not really interested in the attack is the original reason for it is no longer what with the steady flow of characters coming to the Den. We also feel that if the place does get attacked, causing us to leave the place, it'll make less rpers come as well which would put a dent in the hub and harm the community a bit, so we thought about that more. Along with this, we're not really sure just how much power the SSS has, and the Wolves have been getting more people, as well, as well interacting with the Order and USCM, making it seem likely that if the Den were attacked, either would assist in defending it and attacking the SSS. While it's a shame we can't do the attack, we're still interested in Magnus and Ro getting attacked elsewhere by the SSS. Other than, unless some more questions need to be asked, I'll lock this one up so it goes in the vault.
EY I TELL YE WHAT If we're just killing Magnus and kidnapping Raoul, we can do this; I can gather up a few members (if badstar's flakey i'm gonna cry), do the deed, bring Raoul to our base, and then Cole can interrogate him a little. If you want Raoul to be SUPER DUPER TORTURED, I can get Badstar or Brynna (SSS's crooked doctor) to do something afterwards. Once that's going down, the two of you can discuss what you are and aren't okay with in your torture RP (pls nothing kinky or i'll cry harder). Then, so that we actually gain some monetary value for this, we could hold him to ransom. If he wants some extra drama, we could go a few days before beginning the hostage negotiations. how bout dat EDIT: One problem, actually. Location. Liberty Mill has that consent rule, and the SSS isn't allowed to set foot on Taranis. It'd be hard to start a gun fight and escape on USCM planets, too. The outside of the Wolve's Den, maybe? Or perhaps a less populated colony. I dunno, your choice.
I'm perfectly fine with that and I would absolutely /love/ for Raoul to get tortured. She/Him/it can feel pain now, so it would be interesting to finally be able to feel the pain he's inflicted upon others. (I would be fine with anything being done, 'cause torture isn't about limitations) That works for me, I'll ask Magnus about dat.
Liberty Mills' rule is more about billies not being billies and being able to get away with it. If y'all are doing it and you are all OOC pals about it. Y'know. Just steer the fight in whatever direction you want. If you do it in the Undercity, the Fleeties probably won't show up.
Actually, if you guys want the RA can end up rescuing him/buying the ransom because reasons that will be discussed later ICly :> It'll allow for conclusions and shit
don't mean it would be like an instant thing, we'd have to track you guys down n shit it'll give enough time for moral to be rekt and whatnot and you guys can do the quality torture session
Ye, but then the Den wouldn't lose dat cash, and it would hurt Raoul more than anyone else. I'm satisfied either way, but it changes the situation a little.
Indeed. We also need a situation that Magnus and Raoul would be in where they would get attacked. Undercity of the Mills could work. Magnus' only request was that he at least put up a bit of a fight before dying, though obviously not killing anyone. As far as RA taking Raoul that'd be interesting and I'm up for it. I am genuinely curious why. Though the problem would be getting him before the Wolves try making a deal.
Only problem with the undercity is dragging bodies away without the fleet noticing. And on a side note, we're not very subtle people; most of our weapons are noisy enough to catch a guard's attention. Dunno how we'd be able to get away with that. Worst case scenario, we can do something like Maple Hill, I guess.
You never know, the RA could always be using Raoul as a pawn for some larger scheme. Turning Ro into them could deal a larger blow than originally anticipated.
AAHAHAHAHA. THE MIGHTY DETECTIVE COLE DOESN'T KNOW OF ALL THE WAYS OUT OF THE UNDERCITY. OH HOW THE OVERCONFIDENT HAVE FALLEN, DETECTIVE. Nah. But you can get out of the undercity through the Monorail at the bottom of the Undercity. Either direction.
