MAY I PRESENT TO YOU….

DUN DUN DUNNNNNN….

KILLIGAN!!

A.K.A a paracosm of mine that I haven’t talked about literally ever because due to The Horrors i have been unable to daydreampost. Sorry.

Anyway! Fair warning for a little bit of fucked up shit! Mostly murder and cult stuff and some graphic violence. One of our dual protagonists kills people for a living so I’d say that’s to be expected, yknow? But we’ll get to that guy later- Allow me to introduce you to John.

Johnathan Parse is nobody. People simply do not notice him, and he goes about his life as a background character to everyone else. This anxious wreck is a private investigator who usually takes up missing persons cases. He’s good at his job, but there’s one person he was never able to find - his daughter, Kyrie. She vanished nine years ago and was presumed dead, but he knows she’s still out there somewhere and he’s been searching for her ever since. He’s still no closer to finding her than the day she went missing. Sad!

However… he does have one lead. A ludicrous, unreliable lead, but a lead nonetheless.

We’ll get to that in a bit.

Now let me introduce you to our OTHER protagonist- Vic Killigan, the titular character.

Killigan is a hitman with a very fortunate name (even thought it’s not his Real Name but we are not delving into that today). He’s terrifyingly good at his job, and impossible to find unless he wants you to. This weird little freak has been running circles around the law for years.

Very few people have been brave enough to try hunting Vic down, and none have survived.

Unfortunately, he is the only lead John has.

You see, Vic was raised in what is essentially an elite child soldier death cult known as the ROSE Order. At the ripe old age of 19, he escaped ROSE, faked his death, and proceeded to capitalize on murder since it was the only life skill he had. John has reason to believe that this “Order” is responsible for his daughter’s disappearance, and that Vic has some sort of connection, but if Killigan is hard to find, ROSE is out of the question.

Let me pause for a second and explain ROSE. It’s an underground paramilitary organization that is comprised of highly efficient and ruthless assassins, most of which were kidnapped as young children to be trained. ROSE has a foothold in most governments, puppeteering from the background, but they also work in providing private military services to their many sponsors. If you’re raised in the Order, there’s like a 50% chance you’ll become a ROSE spy/assassin, and a 50% chance you’ll get shipped off to go do shady murder shit for some rich fuck.

The only people who know how deep the Order runs are those in charge - or those who find out too much and are subsequently killed. Of course, there’s a slim percentage that manage to escape ROSE, but even most of them don’t have a clue.

Vic Killigan does.

If John has any hope of finding his daughter, Killigan’s his man- which leads him to spend months fruitlessly trying to track him down until a ✨potential informant✨ makes contact, and John winds up roped into attending a big gala. His informant doesn’t show, but the host of the gala is murdered by none other than Killigan himself. John manages to get a tracker on him in the form of a very fancy pen and, because he’s allowed to be a dumb bitch occasionally, breaks into his house without a plan to try and find a lead.

Clearly that does not go well, and not long after, John wakes up ziptied to a chair with the man the myth the legend Killigan interrogating him as to how the Fuck he tracked him down. Great first impressions <3 John, being scared shitless for obvious reasons, tells him everything immediately. Killigan just stares at him for a minute, and then… he leaves the room without a single word. You’ll notice he does that a lot.

It takes John a somewhat pathetic fifteen minutes to break free from his ziptie prison, and he walks out to see Vic sitting on the kitchen counter staring off into space. He’s beginning to get the feeling that this was a very bad idea, and that this Killigan character is in fact extremely fucking weird. Too late now!

(^ a gorgeous commission by @/ratt-teeth !!! :])

Killigan very politely informs him that there is no way in hell he’s going to mess with the Order because while he might have a death wish that is absolutely not the way he wants to go. He also advises John to stay the fuck away from ROSE if he doesn’t want to get McMurdered. However! After some small deliberation, Vic goes “ugh. god. fine.” and agrees not to help him get to ROSE, but connect him with some friends who might be willing to.

First stop: Anastasia Cruz and her team.

faceclaims are lovie simone and diana silvers

Anastasia Cruz is, like Vic, an escaped ROSE agent who then decided to put her skills to use. She runs a syndicate of thieves known as the Sapphires, which Vic never stops making fun of because he thinks it sounds like a band (and he’s not wrong). Ruby Garnier is Anastasia’s far less charismatic second-in-command.

Vic is a close friend of Anastasia’s. They might as well be siblings! And yet, when he arrives at the Sapphire’s base of operations, he and John are immediately attacked, knocked out, and taken prisoner. Well, shit!! That’s not good!

Anyway this has been in my drafts for a few weeks so I’m just going to post it and I’ll write out a part 2 later lmfaooo
