Historical Interlude: Disco & Deceit, Pt. 1, “Stayin’ Alive at Studio 55”

In this tale from the timeline of NPC Inc., we leave behind the 80s warehouse of NPC Inc. for the 70s offices of Blackhorn & Bloodskull, where three devious lawyers are prepping for a very important case. But at B&B, disco and deceit are king, embodied by the cruel heads of the firm, Dan Blackhorn and Albert Bloodskull. Can a cold hearted legal inquisitor with a mysterious history, a malicious trial lawyer compelled to win at all costs, and a manipulative paralegal with a taste for torturing interns put aside their glaring personality flaws to prove themselves to their evil bosses? Or will drugs and dancing distract them from the case and give the most selfish people in the room an irresistible opportunity to ruin each other?
