**Barra Brava** (Fierce Gang)
Ba·rra·bra·va
noun
Organized fans group of football teams in Argentina. They provide fanatical support to their clubs in stadiums, specifically by provoking violence against rival fans as well as against the police. Unlike the Hooligans in England or the Ultras in the rest of Europe, the *Barras* have strong ties with politicians and judges. A *Barra Brava* is when Hooligans meet the mafia.

When you decided not to be a fan of your father's football club, which was also his father's football club, and of his father's father, that's when [[Your Story Starts]].*Desamparados from González Catán* plays and you go to the stadium to see it for the first time. You can take [[[The Bus->Stadium]] (set: $Bus to true)] or ride your [[Bike->Stadium]].You are at the corner of the stadium. You don't have a ticket to get in nor money to buy it. Half a block away there's a [[Guy Wearing The Team's Raincoat]] and a [[Delusional Drunk]].The *Delusional Drunk* offers you a shot of a very questionable drink. You accept and ask him how to get a ticket. The *Delusional Drunk* points at the *Guy Wearing The Team's Raincoat* and tells you to say that you are going on behalf of *Marito*. You thank him and [[leave->Stadium]]. (set: $Marito to true)(if: $Marito is true) [You tell to the *Guy Wearing The Team's Raincoat* that you are on behalf of *Marito*. He looks at you with distrust, but tells you to go [[Help With The Cars]] or [[Keep Watch]]]

}You get to the plaza, where there are *The Boys With The Dish Towels* charging to *take care of the parked cars*. You approach the one who has less face of wanting problems. He tells you his name is *Cuki*, and when you ask what's his real name, he answers: *Cuki*. *Cuki* gives you a dish **Dish Towel** and asks you if you want to stay with him at [[The Plaza]] or if you want to go [[Work]] together.You get to a small-and-scary warehouse. At the door, there's a [[Midget]] wearing the team's outfit and a [[Bagman]].*Cuki* and you use your **Dish Towels** to take care of the parked cars before the game starts. You make a few bucks. Enough to buy a hooch and enter the stadium to watch [[The Game]] together. (color: 'yellow')[(Respect +1)]
(set: $Respect to 1)You realize that when *Cuki* said "work", he meant "lift". *Cuki* steals a kid's bike and runs away. You try to run away, but you can't escape from the kid's grandpa, who pulls his beloved gun and shoots at you.
It's bullseye. Your are dead.
