Ice Cream (OOC)

@vagueGM - the cash Emma took from Elliot’s safe was mainly meant to justify the corruption gain from the 10+ on the 'Let It Out'. I didn’t intend for it to give her an unfair advantage from the same roll by doubling as some huge windfall. So I'm thinking that while yes, it's a lot of cash, she can't exactly deposit it in her savings account without HMRC come knocking on her door.

Maybe it can cover things like paying Benji back for the dress (and purse, and shoes) he bought for her, justify Emma picking up a new outfit for her wardrobe every now and then (which would quickly burn a hole through her pocket ;) ), or that tune-up for her car, but not anything truly life-changing. And even if it IS alot of cash, it still not enough to magically bump her and David into middle class.

Speaking of which - her in-laws are already comfortably middle-class. Charles is/was the sole provider, so while the sight of the cash would definitely be a shock for him, and much more than he has ever seen in his life, it shouldn't literally be more than he’s ever made.

Crime? What crime?

Taking money out of a billionaire's pocket isn't a crime! Or from a murder's. Or from a corpse...



seriously though, Emma doesn't think she's done anything morally reprehensible. Now or ever ;)

Sure, but not in a violent way? I mean, Max is a criminal, with connections, so it makes sense Emma would eventually come to her to help move all that money.

Lets see how it plays out. Emma isn't that attached to the money. Or to the flash drive for that matter. The problem I'm seeing is that if she runs into violent trouble again, on the very day she left the hospital, she is very likely to double down on her decision to call it quits, and it is going to be VERY hard to make her change her mind about it.

well, she could find a regular 9-5 job after her violent mugging, refuse to follow any leads from anyone who looks odd, and disengage in general from involving herself with anything or anyone supernatural.

Then they would have to drag her back in against her wishes. That won’t be easy, and it raises the bigger question of what happens once that immediate crisis is resolved, because it would only make her more adamant about her decision to quit.
Not really, since she went back for the flash drive, not the money. If she had just let it go, she wouldn’t have landed herself in even more trouble.

Emma literally just got out of the hospital this morning. So yes, this is exactly how I see her reacting. And while there are plenty of jokes about her character, she does care about other people; and putting her father-in-law in danger is going to weigh heavy on her. For her to keep intentionally throwing herself into increasingly reckless situations would feel unrealistic to me, and I can’t make myself portray her that way.
