An ally works against the protagonist, believing it is for the greater good. The central plot involves lovers breaking some social rules, such as in an adulterous relationship or worse. The thread may thus turn around their inner conflicts and the effects of others discovering their tryst.
The adventure begins with Damian Furniss visiting the protagonist, and he clearly wants help with something.
SUBTHREADS
The Feign
A seemingly friendly person is trying to distract the protagonist from something important. In this thread, somebody is captured and needs to be rescued. A triangle may form between the protagonist, the antagonist and the victim. There may be a grand duel between the protagonist and antagonist, after which the victim is freed.
Double Crossed
An ally seeks to betray the protagonist. In this thread, a person of initially high standing descends to the gutter and moral turpitude, perhaps sympathetically as they are unable to handle stress, and perhaps just giving in to baser vices.
LOCATIONS
Restaurant
An establishment that serves food and drink, this could also refer to a cafe or pub, a tapas bar or sushi train, a hotel restaurant, or even a fast food drive-through.
Office
This could be a dedicated office block or business centre, or a rented floor or wing of another building. It might even consist of little more than a storage silo, but is typically the workplace of white-collar workers.
