Film star [[Blake Blossum|BLAKE BLOSSOM]] is dead. This is, on its own, is not surprising: famous actors die at least as often as everyone else. But it is where he died that makes this an issue for ███████████ ([[The Concern]]). Blossom was last seen walking down the beach one week after the filming of “[[The Eighty Six]],” at approximate 0200, far from any SHUNT POINTS. Yet within the month, Green Level agents reported that he had emerged in [[Blough City|BLOUGH CITY]], where he quickly began a new career as an avant-garde filmmaker--something no transplant could do without connections and support. 8 months later, he disappeared without a trace. Two days ago his body was found in [[The Thicket|THE THICKET]] by a construction crew while draining a pond at a new housing development. Witness reports indicate that he was found with portable film camera, its reel empty. Due to the strange nature of his arrival, his rapid ascent in the metropolis’ social scene, and the secrecy around his cause of death, it is possible that he was in contact with ████████████ ([[Hector Hu|Agent Squire aka Hector Hu]]) or [[Mike Truck|another hostile personality]].

Overview[edit | edit source]

Messy Business is the seventh and final arc of Season One of Bluff City. It was played in the Lacuna system by Jared Sorensen, with additional mechanics regarding character connections and plot development taken from Technoir by Jeremy Keller.

Unlike previous arcs, where episodes were released once per month, Messy Business was released weekly in four parts from Feburary 16th 2019 to March 11th 2019, and concluded the first season of Bluff City.
