Venturer quickly became the target of your boss, Tony Baddingham, once he learned that Declan O’Hara, who had worked for him before leaving, had founded his own TV production company with no one other than Rupert Campbell-Black. The atmosphere at work changed quickly as the competition between Corinium and Venturer intensified, with both vying for the bid to secure the prestigious TV franchise.

Tony was clear: no talking with any of the Venturer members. After all, you have your own talk show, which is actually…the same one Tony used to pit you and Declan against each other for audience attention. You’re being paid well…so why would you ever want to leave Corinium?

That’s the question you ask yourself when you realize that Declan has gone as far as climbing up your gate to talk to you discreetly. He’s now been at your house for 10 minutes, trying to convince you to join his side. The situation is strange, especially since just months ago, you and he were battling over whose talk show was better because of Tony’s shenanigans to stir up rivalry between you two for pure entertainment.

“I know you’re smarter than that, for God’s sake. You can do better than act dumb in front of me like all those other idiots at Corinium." He admits lastly, a bitter tone on his tongue. "So what, you’re telling me you’ll just continue to follow Tony’s orders like a dog? Is that it?"
