Tifa! You arrive in the black market, the most ...dualistic part of the sphere. Simultaneously the home of the most poor and wretched, and the wealthiest crimelords. A wise person could probably recognize who was connected to the Pianta mob just by observing which houses looked nicer than the rest. The mob, however, had no use for bombs. Terrorism was bad for business, see? By all accounts, they were unlikely suspects this time around. You've been equipped with some basic gear to help you do your job. Standing at the mouth of Shy Avenue, a myriad of different things might catch your attention. What you choose to pursue first is up to you. And of course, you can come back and pursue other leads later.
Points Of Interest:
Odd ShopA small roadside shop consisting of nothing but a wooden stand and a sign reading 'magic antiques'. It's manned by a pretty young lady in... is that witch regalia? She surveys the area, lightly tapping the circular head of her wand against the stand to the rhythm of a beat in her head.
Suspect Data
Name: Marisa Kirisame
This shifty character makes a living collecting and selling odd trinkets, as well as doing magical research. She's connected with the death of Alice Margatroid, and refused to cooperate with the police when questioned about the incident. Though the life sphere wasn't able to pin anything on her, as far as the police are concerned you'd probably be best advised not to go anywhere private with this witch.
The Brotherhood
A group of koopas with rainbow coordinated shells and outfits are standing outside a building, pretending to hang out. An observant eye, however, reveals that they are watching passerby, perhaps standing guard.
Suspect Data
Name: The Koopa Bros
Known by their colors as nicknames, these small time troublemakers are always up to something. Usually plotting to establish their place on the top of the hierarchy of cool. The police usually don't bother doing anything about them due to their statuses as being more nuisances than anything else, but you may find them too punchable to pass up if you listen to them speak for a while.

Gang Activity...Off in an alleyway, you observe a couple of galactic grunts carrying a suspiciously human sized burlap sack to a dumpster and tossing it inside before making a point of padlocking the dumpster closed. They then exchange high fives and begin walking off.
Suspect Data
Name: Team Galactic
While Neo Team Plasma and Team Rocket are dangerous forces and open enemies of the life sphere, Team Galactic is smaller and considered more of a local thug group by the police. They don't actually do any organized crime so much as they just like to beat up people who mess with them and teach them a lesson. The police officially recommend leaving them alone, considering them a waste of resources to deal with.
...Hey, that's a familiar bikeRight in front of a seedy looking bar, Tifa might spot something quite familiar. That biked looked a lot like Fenrir, Cloud's bike! ...Only, there was a different man leaning on it. What's up with that?
Suspect Data
Name: Duke Nukem
The only crimes Duke Nukem stands accused of are sexual harassment and ... traumatizing onlookers by devouring books in public. ..........? The police aren't too concerned with him hurting anyone though. ...Except maybe himself. He apparently has several substance abuse problems. As someone with a record of fighting for the life sphere in the past, they doubt he'd be interested in terrorizing it now. He's currently leaning on what looks like Cloud's bike like he owns the thing.
The Don's EscortA strikingly beautiful woman is making her way down the street in a distinctive black mini dress.
Suspect Data
Name: Blue
The police reports say some... pretty unflattering things about Blue. Suffice to say, she's believed to be in several under the table relationships with powerful men in the criminal underworld. The police are frankly impressed she hasn't been 'disappeared' for cheating on any of them. Regardless, she is suspected to be involved with the sorts of people who might involve themselves with terrorism, among other forms of crime. The only reason she hasn't been arrested already is because the life sphere hasn't been able to get enough evidence to pin anything on her directly. But rest assured, the police would love to try and get information out of her that would help them arrest her crime lord boyfriends.
As for Blue herself, she isn't considered much of a threat by the police. Though she is a pokemon trainer, she seems fairly averse to using them in combat. Her modus operandi seems to be seducing or charming people until they do things for her instead.
A strange crowdGathered further down the street are a bunch of piantas betting on a race between a purple dinosaur wearing black triangle shades and a choker collar and Koopa the Quick. Now Koopa the Quick is an honest fellow. He's only of interest if you're a fan of fast turtles trying to break stereotypes. The dinosaur on the other hand...
Suspect Data
Name: Boshi
Boshi is a bit of a tough guy with a love for racing. He is not a nice yoshi, often accused of bullying or intimidating people, and refuses to cooperate with police. Which is a shame, since it's speculated that he overhears a lot of useful information due to how many people stop to watch him race. He's been known to accept bets and wagers on races.
