Valentine (Season)

Valentine is the fourth season of Dice Funk. It takes place millenia after Ilium, in a semi-contemporary, semi-fantasy, semi-science fiction setting inspired by the likes of Shadowrun, in a genre that could be summarized as "late capitalism nightmare." It focuses largely on impoverished artists and performers navigating the power games of Valentine's all-powerful corporations.

Plot
The player-characters meet online, discussing the underground tunnels linking out form the subway that go underneath North Valentine, the rich residential area. Acting coy at first, they eventually form a plan to burgle whatever they can find by coming up through the tunnels. This plan takes them to a house owned (or at least, under the guardianship of) Solomon Luna, wherein they find priceless amounts of electronic material. However, they also meet an uploaded consciousness named Skel, whose full existence is reliant on those computers. Inspector William Graves arrives, and is beaten to the ground when he attempts to arrest Lenora. In exchange for being released into the internet, Skel sends his friend, Beatrice Beauregard, a request to help the team as they are now targets for the police. Beau conscripts the team into the Game, a point-scoring system between the different heads of Crown Corporation, which disregards any of the lives put into play.
