CHAPTER 1
A WILTING FLOWER​

LOCATION: DISTRICT GAEL​

DATE: QUIRTIA 28, AE 47

Whilst the rest of Gael's populace enjoyed the grand opening of the festivities, the vast majority of the Lotus Syndicate's members in Gael were partaking in a chaotic scrambling as they tried to realign their itineraries and regroup with their fellows.

An unexpected number of logistics issues had risen up to surprise the Lotus Syndicate's members who have melded in the district's populace - causing innumerable members to be misplaced, as well as their supplies to be lost, some even damaged. A huge blow has been dealt with the Lotus Syndicate's plans, putting them way behind schedule and causing a massive wave of discord that only worsened the situation.

Fortunately, their covers weren't compromised in the process, allowing them to continue their operations without being exposed to the public eye. And though there are still unresolved issues, they continue onward and never lose sight of the opportunity bestowed upon them - their ideals and beliefs granting them the push they need to go on and brave through the obstacles before them.

A message was sent to a select few, bearing the same instruction - to head to a specified location. A store just a few blocks away from Central Gael, bearing the name Pinktooth.

The building itself was rather old and seemingly run-down, with its stained walls and creaky wooden floors. The shop's electronic sign tells that it is open, though the text written on it is rather difficult to read due to numerous malfunctions in the sign's light sources. The interior didn't stray far from the exterior - it wasn't spacious at all, but should be enough to hold about ten people, maybe less if some of the wooden stools it housed started to fall apart. Displayed inside the shop is a myriad of candies and sweets, varying from big brands to obscure ones and even cheap knock-offs, stored within a reinforced glass chamber.

There appears to be no one currently manning the shop, but to those who enter, a feeling that they are being watched would be easily noticed. A sweet scent lingers within the store's premises, though it would seem difficult to tell if such came from the displayed treats, or from something else entirely. A small speaker set down on one of the wooden stools play out the music that would have been resonating throughout the streets of Central Gael, the only difference would be that it sounds a bit less refined due to some occasional static noises that the speaker gave off.
