The Soda Pop Conflict

==What is the Soda Pop Conflict?==
The "Soda Pop Conflict" or "Soft Drink Conflict" began when an entrepreneur named King K Kona started his small own brand named "King K Cola".
After this other big soft drink companies attempted to establish a permanent presence in Bricktown which attracted other underground criminal organizations.
It is a part of an ongoing completely improvised roleplaying arc in The Legends of Roflgator.
===Background===
What initiated and triggered the conflict appears to have been the self-employed hard working entrepreneur King K. Kona (also known as Bearly) opening up his small and independent brand of soft drinks.
Under the brand "King K Cola" Bearly began small scale sales within Roflgators bar and its competitors, the 8est store - even providing free samples. His sales started to increase and it gathered larger companies from the soft drink industries attention and other major powers of influence in Bricktown.
===The Juicers get involved===
As Bearly established his small scale brand on Feb 19th, 2019 a gang of hooded apparitions named "The Juicers" started making regular visits in the area. At first they appeared outside of the bar making a ruckus. Being the "good guy" that he is Roflgator sent out Emerysaur to attempt to handle the situation. This had mixed results and they eventually returned.
Being a low level gang that regularly deals in drugs such as coke and similar criminal activity Roflgator was able to pay them off by offering $10.000 VR bucks in protection money and a dedicated pool in The Golden Gator bath house section.
During the situation with "The Juicers" the local police CDMan was notably absent, arising suspicion he might be aligned with the group in some way. Meech was another who was also absent and gave hints that he might be aligned to or even apart of their gang.
===The Illuminati===
The same day as the gang got involved the higher ups of Bricktown - a secret society previously referred to as The Illuminati - had other deals beside Soda Pop on their minds. Their emissary Cranberry made another entrance.
Their previous involvement in Bricktown includes the true ownership of the 8est store. As if that corruption was not enough this time Mute Max was tortured in front of Roflgator by Cranberry and his cohorts, leaving him fired from his work, homeless and lacking a finger.
===Large companies involvement===
On Feb 24th, 2019 multiple large up Soda company representatives would appear in Bricktown including the Coca Cola Company and PepsiCo. The representative from Coca Cola claimed to have acquired or made some sort of business deal with King K Cola and aligning themselves with Bearly.
After their representative had presented themselves Roflgator explained his side of the situation and convinced them to align in order to defeat their common enemies together - both PepsiCo and The Illuminati.
===Cranberry and Vore's involvement===
Cranberry would return on Feb 24th, 2019, further involving himself and the organization that he represents.
In a meeting in the bathroom of The Golden Gator, Cranberry told Roflgator and Vore who was present that he demanded the whole King K Cola business ownership turned over to The Illuminati.
Roflgator tried to explain that the conflict between the larger companies involvement made any such turnover complicated - but still attempted to barter for $3 million VR bucks in exchange. He was met with a flat out refusal. Cranberry reiterated that there was no way that a trade or any kind of negotiations were going to take place.
Vore being present, interjected suddenly - the first who dared do so until now - and offered counter threats of what his kind usually does to "aliens" like Cranberry. He proceeded to insult the size of Cranberry's manhood but was met with information from Vore's past regarding his sisters disappearance. Not only that but Cranberry hurled an insult that Vores sister also had been privy to the size of his manhood. This insulted and upset Vore who was filled with rage.
Cranberry gave Roflgator 24 hours time to hand over the business before he left.
Afterwards Vore tried to concoct some sort of plan to destroy The Illuminati. Not being able to turn up within 24 hours he didn't quite come up with anything fruitful aside from leaving a recorded message and having Meech dress up like a pickle and sacrifice himself in the process. Disregarding that idea he told the story of how his sister almost betrayed him for Cranberry - before her disappearance.
Together Vore and Roflgator convinced Mute Max to train with the goal of exacting revenge on Cranberry and The Illuminati.
===Behind the Scenes===
