God yeah, this hypothetical kid would be fuckin SET no matter what path they take. As are their parents TBH, that's an amazingly cushy turf. They don't even NEED to reveal the fact that they're Sleepers, just operating a business for the Underground's sake ensures that people understand why they have a stake in the peace, and makes sure that people actively and aggressively are invested in keeping this space safe for themselves, too. If literally anyone threatens that bar, they've probably got the wrath of like half the city coming down on their heads.
That quote is absolutely right TBH. IIRC the mean bitter asshole is a university professor or some bullshit? But the concierge is just so ridiculously sweet that everyone loves him and also wants to keep him safe. If you can do favors/provide information for practically everyone, and so blatantly have no hidden agenda because you're a goddamn FOOL, then you're kinda automatically a precious resource to be preserved at all costs. Even his muggle coworkers probably help cover for his ass, but I think I gave him a fairly high skill in pretending to be sober instead of just constantly low-key drunk, too.
"If you can do favors/provide information for practically everyone, and so blatantly have no hidden agenda because you're a goddamn FOOL..." - LOL someone else that Darnell could relate to.
Darnell Barrett is a sweet guy and an incredibly useful person to know, and did her a solid the first time they met without playing an angle. He's her favourite checker, and ALWAYS WILL BE.
Also I'm still quietly losing my mind at how now, at long last, we have a little OU knot emerging. YASSSS
Yes. He's jussst on the outside of the OU, too, and Sam is just on the inside, and it's been great fun---I don't know why I didn't yell at you sooner, but here we are going "ONE OF US, ONE OF US" at Marissa, and Darnell's one wall-break away from the same treatment. Perfect.
Although I keep imagining a group of young adepts at a lakeside cabin one inherited, along with the Servant they also inherited, and the lot being like 1+1=2
