A list of plot points for Wikihood Volume 1, so that way we can perfect it and then Volume 2 can be good!

Well, this is something Lex / Briar / I conversed about recently.

I miiiiiiiight be going about this the wrong way. We'll see.

Plot Point 1: Introducing The "Main Characters" {Pilot Trio - Events Assumed To Happen At The Same Time, Across Three Different Episodes/Perspectives}

• Introduce Felix "Chaos" Zabat {I would do this through showcasing Chaos going through a court trial, after being convicted of a casino robbery in San Cristobal}
• Show Chaos in prison, about to be released after a presumed three-year time period.
• Chaos calls his friend, Lex, notifying him he's about to be released from prison.
• Lex picks Chaos up. They drive through Republic Island, with Lex mentioning where he now resides: Towningdale.
• Lex's home is revealed to be an apartment upstairs from a pierogi bar. Chaos and Lex meet Volkov, essentially getting an early breakfast.
• Garfield joins in on the breakfast for a brief moment, introducing himself. It's revealed he's been around alongside Lex and Volkov, for his own reasons.
• Garfield has a NoxCorp job that takes him away from the scene, revealing his six-figure salary to Chaos amidst a conversation continuing primarily between him and Lex.
• Lex helps Chaos get settled into the apartment; while it's not impressive by any means, the Anarchomancer feels he can make do with it on some level.
• Lex explains what happened to the other participants of the Casino Heist - Toby got mauled by Dwarven Hellknights not long after the Heist was done, Rashid joined the military in Lebanon and has been MIA ever since, Elhera is presumed to have come out of "retirement" in affiliation with the Glabal MC, and Headwiz is around but doing her own business in black hat cyber espionage.
• Garfield, on his way to work, happens upon a "Human with an appreciation for Drow culture" - Leigh. After a brief conversation, Garfield continues.
• Work at NoxCorp involves pacifying a plant monster made sentient by a coworker, who causes a OHSA violation to happen within NoxCorp.
• Said coworker (Jerry) is let go from the company in the most brutally honest way feasible.
• Garfield (and others) are sent home early. Garfield decides to spend some time in Spook Cliff, with an ice cream cone and a cellphone with which to call Stephanie Young.
• Garfield and Stephanie converse, with minor details foreshadowing an upcoming Senatorial Campaign and major details revealing parts of Garfield's overall personality and backstory.
• Meanwhile, Leigh converses with Ned. Leigh's attempts to find a job within Towningdale have thus far proven enormously unsuccessful. The last one he attempted ended with him being attacked on an airplane on the way to the interview, resulting in him being late for it.
• Ned gets Leigh an interview with Rosenberg Industries, as a favour. Jacqueline Rosenberg initially isn't impressed with Leigh's resume, but decides to give him a chance upon seeing potential within him (and also because his nephew, Jules Rosenberg, is insistent that Leigh be included due to his life having been "saved" by the Drow)
• Chaos tries to re-integrate into life by attempting to find work. Due to his criminal record, many places turn him down. He tries his hand at a place called HappyMart, despite Lex's objections, but quickly finds it to his dissatisfaction. Things go sour from there.
• At Spook Cliff, Garfield encounters Rosemary - a "bounty hunter" who slapfights with him. The conflict is shown through two versions: a high-octane and high magic version, and a much more "normal" version (with both being implied as legitimate viewpoints).
• Leigh and Jules go to a karaoke bar. Leigh sings "Thank You For Being A Friend," then tries his hand at pinball. Initially demoralized by quick failure, Jules gives him a motivational speech (and a sack of quarters) and encourages him to keep trying. While pinball is played, Leigh explains parts of himself (essentially giving us an idea of the trouble he went through to get to Towningdale in the first place).
• Chaos / Garfield / Leigh all, at one point or another, stop by a cereal cafe owned by Tracy Bellucci. Depending on the context, a positive experience is had at Surreal Cereals.
• Chaos ends his introduction by plotting another Heist, while watching Xavier D'Arque give a speech.
• Garfield ends his introduction by meeting up with Stephanie in-person, at a part of Downtowningdale.
• Leigh ends his perspective by returning to where he (temporarily) resides. He is saddened by the current state of affairs, but acknowledges positive occurrences throughout the day.
