Hi Jen! Thanks for reaching out.

1. Riko is both hoping to unveil the mystery behind the Displaced, as well as have someone on her side who is seemingly immune to any trouble. For this reason, we'll let you work out what V would share about the Displaced to get answers and access to Riko's databases. He may want to discuss with the other characters about what questions they think they can get answered by a NAPD database. He may need to go to some shady/seedy locations for Riko, even choosing to purchase various drugs so that the NAPD can get their hands on them. That's the extent of sketchy behavior she'll ask of him, however!

2. V would be able to pursue this path! He likely won't be able to make a living off of it right away, as he'd have to gain some clout. But if he goes out for auditions and tries out for podcasts, video games and more, he'll eventually create quite the resume to land something larger. In the meantime, he may need another outlet for income. So, go ahead!

3. They will make a decent first impression at the auction, but their limited understanding of recent art will make a few of the people side-eye them. They may be encouraged to read a smattering of more recent literature, as well as familiarize themselves with what's popular today.

Many of the people there will be in the upper echelons of the big three companies, either working on the companies' boards, running some of the subsidiaries - though there will be a number who are uncomfortable, as their subsidiaries were recently absorbed but they knew they had to come to the auction for status reasons - or the adult children of many of the previous mentioned who are hoping to rub elbows with the elite as they prepare to step into positions of power at the three companies.

The overall sentiment is that they approve of Katelin Jovavich - she is a big pioneer of improving humanity's conditions. They are a little frustrated that Gill-Jade has decided not to move forward - they believed her to be the best for the city, maintaining stability at a time like this.

As for Maeda, she'll be present to greet some people there, but won't be there for long. It'll be the equivalent of "making an appearance."

4. Right now, there is an overall feeling that things are chaotic and disorganized. Everyone working in the UN wasn't expecting anything of this sort, as they felt that Gill-Jade was relatively interested in maintaining her job. Since she was connected to so many people and their positions, they are currently working in overdrive, believing that they need to make themselves invaluable for the new administration coming on.

Most of the rumors right now revolve around how the three corporations are pushing Katelin Jovavich, but they'll back Joseph Lynch if the cards move that way. They believe him to be weak - much in the way that Gill-Jade turned out to be weak. They feel that she was pressured by the big three to back down and give up her office because of how she's handled the recent crises in New Amsterdam. This isn't true - her unwillingness to maintain office definitely is a direct result of Ardyn's actions in the dreams - and the reality is that she wants to return to a more private life out of the public eye, as it's like she's been drained of her ambition.
