Tales from Dramaville (Part 3)

The third major storyline of the Dramaville campaign (for the In Nomine system/setting) involves a Bright Lilim serving Destiny protecting a special little girl. The little girl's Destiny is to be a great social leader, protecting the rights of poor people like those she knew in the neighborhood where she grew up. Her Fate would be to be just another casualty of those rough conditions. The Bright Lilim has chosen an unconventional Role to achieve her goal. She is an undercover police officer posing as a stripper to get access to information not usually available to the police, so her Role has a Role. And the stripper has managed to become the girlfriend of a local gang leader, which just happens to be the gang leader with the little sister with a significant Destiny. Got all that straight?

On one occasion, someone slipped the stripper a note while she was working, which said that they knew who she really was. So did they know she was an angel, or did they know she was a cop? She couldn't be sure, and still isn't.

This third major storyline may be concluding in the next session, as the Bright has finally persuaded the gang leader that the danger to his sister from the current heightened state of gang activity is more important than his duty to the gang he leads. Of course, the gang members are likely to disagree, and the Dark Lilim who is trying to turn the little girl toward her Fate isn't going to give up easily, so the next session should be lively.
