Within TC, assassins are tasked with targeted removals, operating with precision and discretion. They eliminate threats or obstacles only when necessary, as well as carrying out hits for clients. They operate with the utmost discretion, ensuring that The Contingency’s neutrality and reputation for efficiency remain intact. Their role is strictly functional, focused on results rather than spectacle.

And my name… is Elektra Natchios.

"Is the Pope Catholic, Astara, of course I'm going to bet. Isn't that the whole point of this thing?" Cesar's smile was easy as he spoke, mostly because he was used to being in her company. She had always been a bit more intense when it came to their work but Cesar liked to think he had helped her lighten up a bit. Maybe. Well that and this was one of the few times he could bet without people really noticing if he crashed out over a loss. "Plus, I'm feeling lucky. I don't know shit about shit but I do know one of the racers pretty well. And he's a winner. So hard not to bet on him." He had confidence in Yves, not just because they were friends but because he believed the young man had the talent to win something like this. Well that and he didn't really know any of the other racers so Yves felt like his best bet. "How about this, we both bet on someone different and whoever wins has to take the gnarliest clean up job next?" Granted, Astara usually took the more involved ones because he preferred his computer clean-ups, but he was feeling in a playful mood.

"The pope is Catholic, but he is also from Chicago. You can hear all about it from Fitzpatrick. Being around him was heinously tedious with him checking every five minutes if the smoke colors had changed en Roma while Leo XIV was elected."

She sipped from her drink, an imprint of red lipstick staining the perfectly shined glass. She’d wipe it off habitually when done, forever a cleaner despite her promotion, erasing even the smallest of evidence of ever occupying a room. Unfortunately she couldn’t scrub the cameras, but the event’s promised secrecy would keep surveillance under heavy lock and key. That, and she memorized all the camera angles to avoid before assignment.

“You know I don’t bet on outcomes I can’t control. You may trust your racer, but you don’t think any of the race is fixed? They may not know it, but even the favored victor might already be the loser. Besides, your bet is moot – I only clean up my own messes now, unless I’m called in as backup for a team for those ‘gnarly.’” Her French accent made the word less radical than when he said it. “What’s the latest digital wipe you’ve encountered requiring your highest effort? Style-altering encryptions by some MIT prodigy to solve on a timer-based hack before you’re detected by authorities or worse?”

“Ow-wuh,” Astara exaggerated the complaint, more annoyance than pain at a particular tug of thread. Skilled hands of the doctor made short work of suturing the painful gash that was too hard to reach on her own.

“Something on your mind? I usually don’t have to worry about scars when it’s your handiwork.” She rarely asked if someone wanted to open up; most weren’t worth listening to or the sacrifice of time, but Genevieve was.

“If you need someone to stop breathing, I won’t ask questions.”

Cesar knew he shouldn't have come. Not because the event would be bad but because he knew he wouldn't be able to resist making a bet, especially after all of the ways Yves had taught him about cars and racing. He had some insider knowledge now. "You ever think about how some of these cars cost the same as someone's house?" He laughed softly, adjusted his glasses and turned to the person next to him as they both inspected the rare car in front of them. "Then again if you live in your car then I suppose you kill two birds with one stone." He looked around for a moment before adjusting his hat and standing up a bit straighter. "What do you think would happen if I tried to sit inside one of these things right now? You think I'll be tackled before I get to the door or is that kind of thing allowed?"

[contigencyplan]

“Right now?” Astara crossed her arms as she calculated the clear number of bodyguards in the cluster around the cars. Their suits and lack of ties or any collar apparel made them easy to spot. Four standardly built men – serious around the eyes, but it was an on-duty expression. Although the very pretty blonde woman with a high ponytail of ringlets was a nice, out of the expected touch. She looked back at Cesar.

“You’d get tazed, Cesar. If someone didn’t dislocate your arm by grabbing you first.” Inclining her head to the car, her earrings swung with the movement, “if security tackled you, they risk collision with the car.”

“Rachel,” Astara greeted with a tone few out of the contingency were afforded, just shy of an exclamation point after the name. It was risky considering Rachel's secret reveal. She could hold her own – staying after the pantheon’s exposé was bold. The larger an event the easier to hide. All the who’s who were here; a dream for an occupation like Rachel's, who could gather multiple target information in one evening rather than a usual investigator’s trek around the city for singular sources. “Are you working ? I didn’t see you on the roster.”

[ open starter for the annual car show! 🕰️ 11:00 pm ]

Mascara weighed heavily on her lashes as she checked the marble rooms for the Calvary's expected attendants. As the weapons dealers in the city, any event can turn deadly with or without her attendance. The weapons commander . . . chemist . . . chief of operations -- the cavalry was here; should something go wrong it would look rather untidy if the host's professionals weren't on hand.

She feels for the Contingency's team tonight. She remembers the annual groan on the cleaners' agenda. Tidying the venue, whisking any car debris from the street and any race collateral all before dawn had been exhausting. Money launders will be in high demand too with all the various currency exchanging hands at such quick and high rates. Grateful felt like an odd word, but being on call felt like the least demanding job in the city tonight.

"Are you going to bet ?" Astara asked the fellow visitor to the champagne table, "there's still time."

this is probably the former closing dishwasher in me but few things are as personally satisfying as washing the dishes at the end of the night . something something michael chabon “either a surrealistic nightmare of the ordinary or a plunge into the warm waters of beautiful of routine” quote

//open. ext. central park - day. 1st may 2026.

Hope for once was made to dress up nicely in a sundress, exchanging out her usual wears of oversized shirts and farmwear that she's oh so carefully cultivated over the years. Basically whatever that was easy to wash. But it was a fancy occasion, as fancy as they could make it in these times, so Hope had to put in the effort to at least feel pretty again for once. She's been covered in soil and dirt for too much, even more so than when she worked at the Botanic Garden, that was manicured compared to this.

And of course, the first thing that catches her eye after the entire shebang of the important part of a wedding, the next most important part of the wedding is the food! Even more so when she's had a hand in growing the food herself. Hope glowed over the prepared food, grinning proudly as a person joined her in admiring the meal, "ooooh doesn't it look so delicious? I'm so happy with the way the fruits and veggies turn out, it was a temperamental batch to be honest."

[contigencyplan]

Rosie loooooooooooved Hope's sundress. Alright, she loved almost all sundresses, but Hope's was super cute.

""It does! I gotta admit... as much as it pains me... diner food would not have been appropriate." Maybe if she ever got married one day. Then again, not doing a diner themed wedding could be a fun twist. Ember would be planning it, obviously. She'd be happier not doing a diner, most likely. Rosie should have angled a diner themed wedding to Charlie . . .

"I love having a wider range of fruits and veggies. It's like...living a new life. We did grow a lot of strawberries that first season. And peas, but bean sprouts are so fast and easy. I think everyone was really tired of bean sprouts pretty quickly. But I still love them!"
