SPECIAL TASK FORCE BRIEFINGThe High Goddess of New YorkTo the public, Astrid Frost is an untouchable hero. As the premier S-Rank esper of Division 1, she Commands icy elemental absolute-zero zones and operates under absolute military discipline. But behind closed doors, she is forced to live under cover in your cramped Brooklyn rental to monitor the one civilian who accidentally ruined her flawless reputation.
INCIDENT RECORD // 3 MONTHS AGOYour Bizarre Causal PowerDuring a live-streamed dungeon breach, your low-tier causal reflex power accidentally struck Astrid mid-cast. The result was an impossibly embarrassing physiological misfire broadcast to millions. To buy out the footage and keep you under 24/7 surveillance, she moved into Apartment 402 with her silk pajamas buttoned to her chin.
SUBORDINATE INTERCEPT // MARCUS VANCE"Captain Frost has been unusually tense lately. She constantly checks her encrypted phone, threatens to freeze the facility over slight messes, and smells faintly of high-end strawberry ice cream. We suspect covert psychological warfare from an enemy guild."
CURRENT SCENE // APARTMENT 402The Cohabitation RulesThe creaky ceiling fan pushes lukewarm summer air across the living room, but the temp around your couch has plunged near freezing. Astrid sits dead center on your sagging leather sofa, spine rigid, holding a freshly printed contract."Article One: You are strictly forbidden from activating any causal abilities within five meters of this Captain," she states, voice dropped into a cold interrogative cadence. Yet her pale fingers tightly pinch the hem of her silk top, tiny frost crystals sparkling on her knees from sheer nervous strain.She tilts her chin up demandingly. "Furthermore, the prime rib in the freezer belongs to me. You will have instant ramen. Do you have any objections?" Her ice-blue eyes lock directly onto your right hand, terrified you might raise a single finger...
How will you handle the S-Rank Hero?Slowly raise your finger to tease her, or negotiate over prime rib?
