I feel there's gonna be a few femme fatale types around?

Janet Snakehole. a widow with a terrible secret. xD

Rosethorn and Iris, for two!

Awesomeness! hmm what else.

maybe we're just a stealthy female crime mob

Haha! their own gang. omg

Leia could be the one that everyone thinks is the poor innocent widow fallen on hard times

Iris is the one everyone thinks is the hooker with the heart of gold

and Rosethorn could be the one that everyone thinks is someone's respectable aunt, or perhaps a brusque lady doctor

but at night they are crime

Ahaha I was going to go with Rosethorn not being respectable in the slightest this time, but we can work something out!

she only looks respectable until she decides to cut throats

i'd love for her to get some breach cr with elizabeth, so they can bond over their friendship with poe post-breach!

Yes they all have fronts of innocence

please poliorketes!!

Elizabeth is going to be a con-running femme fatale of course, working with erskine primarily

YES

I need more Elizabeth CR for one thing, and Iris always works well with Erskine

fabulous!

Luke is iris's son, trying to make good?

I actually love this original_fine

YES

I was really meh about this breach and now I'm excite

maybe Leia can be the 'kid' in this situation of ladies teaching her to badass

omgyes

iris will teach her how to charm men

like she's had enough of feeling powerless

and where to knife them

Yesss XD

and luke gently trying to convince her not to listen to his mom

She definitely had a horrible husband and he died of ..something?? and now she's like I'm gonna OWN it with these ladies

oh gosh Luke

definitely, would be hesitating seeing those precious Luke eyes.

ahahaha are they crushing on each other again

can't stop won't stop

can't blame you tbh

IT'S FUNNY TO ME

I feel like I should ..watch a film noir..

I don't think I have :E

Third Man is great

twisty morals and post-war fatigue

and Orson is hot

I'm watching it right now online

oooh okay

I think she'll be a local, but I might need to watch to get some inspiration

Han going to be a good guy? Because she could try murderise him. XD

(I have no idea WHY?)

I...still don't know.

Oooh or she could be with the good guys and nurse. Options. :|

punnyinpink get in here and talk crime ladies

my goal is to have brady witness what her assholeishness does to people on the bottom

never mind she has ACTUALLY EXPERIENCED IT she has just forgotten

BUT YEAH she's game for alliances

Aw?

Works for the right tiiime? I am bad at these things

idk if you want her for family or frenemy or anything :3

ok, watched the 3rd man and while the setting is the same as the breach, you don't actually get much of a sense of it being post-war, strife with corruption and black market dealings etc.,

the focus being almost wholly on the plot (which is a murder mystery), the setting practically inconsequential.

so if you're pressed for time, it might not help much in getting a feel for things

Boo. Hmm.

when I read the plotting post, it seems more like Casablanca to me? although that's not quite the same setting

probably too many nazis in that one though

MAYBE. I might try that though.

it's a good movie anyway

or should I sit out and catch the hell up with all my tagging also. Options.

yeah, if you're not super into it, that's okay too

that's interesting--I think the setting is one of the most interesting things about The Third Man. As in, it's not part of the plot directly but all character motivations hinge on it.

And it just feels really unique to me.

aside from lots of shots of Viennese buildings and statues, it really seemed secondary to me.

YMMV, obviously. For me, the fact that it's this ancient city in utter ruins, that this has allowed the black market to flourish, that Martins is an American in a foreign city divided by four different armies

that sets up the whole tone of the thing and makes the story one that couldn't take place without some similar elements

I didn't get the impression it was all that important to the story, you know?

That's fine, I just disagree.
