December 08, 2018 10:08PMGM (GM): Okay!
I cleared the game logs :)
December 08, 2018 10:09PMJustin: How could you!?
December 08, 2018 10:09PMGM (GM): You showed me the taste of that power
Anyone who needs a reminder, while Eve is child-ing
Hans told you what he knew, asked for a jar ride. The knight "Mladen" is tethered to Hans's ghost, but Eve did not compel it to speak as of yet, so it's just doing what it's naturally inclined to do in its ghost loop, which is try to kill Hans.
But yeah. Hans has been a real soldier.
A real soulja
December 08, 2018 10:13PMGM (GM): get it?
December 08, 2018 10:13PMJessica: ugh
December 08, 2018 10:13PMGM (GM): coz he's gonna get put in a soul jar
December 08, 2018 10:14PMJessica: Not till we're properly drunk
All higher magic has to be done drunk
December 08, 2018 10:14PMGM (GM): Or if Eve comes to her senses.
Hans probably never died before, it was his first body. People who get re-planted after having died.... they change.
The ghost wouldn't know that. As powerful as he is, he's just a soul in twilight, a carbon copy print of Hans' mind.
Hans no longer has a mind
December 08, 2018 10:15PMJessica: and that's why he can't lie I guess
December 08, 2018 10:16PMGM (GM): Some people do come out of resurrections well adjusted and whole and functional
Right
Hans retains his casting gnosis, so he could cast.
But he's subject to ghost functional rules
He can't lie, and he can't learn.
Not long term anyways
December 08, 2018 10:18PMGM (GM): Eve could make him learn something
December 08, 2018 10:18PMJessica: I wanna watch XD
December 08, 2018 10:18PMJustin: Poor ghosts.
Sidequest:
Find Hans's Mind.
December 08, 2018 10:19PMGM (GM): Only Jessica would want to go on that sidequest
December 08, 2018 10:19PMJustin: Drunkstin is up for it.
December 08, 2018 10:21PMJessica: Someday I'll be a goshbuster
#lifegoals
December 08, 2018 10:21PMGM (GM): GM sets up all the arena with all the guards
Players: nah. Let's do the summoning safely from hotel
And break some leg
December 08, 2018 10:21PMJustin: You'll be the all-newb reboot of goshbusters.
You and Kurtis and some fat chick.
December 08, 2018 10:21PMJessica: we're difficult people
December 08, 2018 10:21PMGM (GM): Oh the FeministBusters
December 08, 2018 10:21PMJustin: Word.
And uh..
Lucas.
That one.
December 08, 2018 10:22PMGM (GM): He's Chris Hemsworth
December 08, 2018 10:22PMJessica: we should message chris
i bet he forgot
December 08, 2018 10:22PMJustin: He's been active in the chat.
Screaming at the wall.
Like a crazy person.
December 08, 2018 10:22PMJessica: nevermind then
December 08, 2018 10:22PMGM (GM): i wonder if Dante is asleep in room
December 08, 2018 10:22PMJessica: i just woke up
I'm insane and full of nonsense
December 08, 2018 10:23PMJustin: Darnte is certainly asleep.
December 08, 2018 10:23PMGM (GM): i messaged him
December 08, 2018 10:35PMEve K.: sup
December 08, 2018 10:35PMJessica: BOX
XD
December 08, 2018 10:37PMGM (GM): okay
we got 5/6 thats good enough for me
December 08, 2018 10:37PMJessica: whee
December 08, 2018 10:37PMGM (GM): Eric will wake up eventually
Episoul-jar 35
here we go
Mage The Awakening: Gates to Atlantis - Episode 35
December 09, 2018 1:25AMKurtis Kerner: "I have a plan guys."
"We need one wheelchair."
December 09, 2018 1:25AMJessica: ((this is some rocket raccoon bullshit i can already tell))
December 09, 2018 1:25AMEve K.: "Lets hear it."
Walks to the bar to retrieve her half full wine glass, takes a sip December 09, 2018 1:25AMKurtis Kerner: "We wheel Justin out in front of the cops, and make a scene. While they're assisting my mentally retarded little brother with a broken ankle, you do your thing"
December 09, 2018 1:26AMEve K.: "Do you think Justin can play mentally handicapped?"
A ghost of a smirk curves her lips, she takes a drink to hide any additional expression December 09, 2018 1:26AMKurtis Kerner: looks at sleeping Justin "I'll go ask for a wheel chair."
December 09, 2018 1:27AMEve K.: ((lolololololol))
December 09, 2018 1:27AMDante: Dante eyes the soul jar/wine bottle. "So are we stashing this somewhere or..."
He polishes off his own glass and sets its unsteadily down on the bar. Eve K. shakes her head with a smirk and begins looking around for a candle.
December 09, 2018 1:28AMJessica: "Can't we just put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door?"
December 09, 2018 1:28AMEve K.: "I don't want to take them with me, more likely to break."
December 09, 2018 1:28AMGM (GM): Eve, you find a candle
Eve K. melts the candle to completely seal the soul jars just for extra safety.
December 09, 2018 1:29AMKurtis Kerner: "Well as long as Dante here gives it a Bart Simpson autograph, we can just stash em under the beds. Or where ever."
makes a chalk drawing motion with hand
December 09, 2018 1:30AMGM (GM): Eve, sealed.
December 09, 2018 1:30AMDante: Dante gives Kurtis a sidelong glance at the metaphor. "I was already thinking of doing that, but that doesn't make it any less discoverable."
December 09, 2018 1:31AMKurtis Kerner: "Well we got the room for how long? The do not disturb sign would make sure nobody comes in to clean"
points to Jessica, her idea
December 09, 2018 1:32AMDante: "Either way..."
He moves to the bottles and pats himself down, procuring a small piece of chalk from one of his pockets. He will then mark the glass. December 09, 2018 1:32AMEve K.: ((I don't remember if I specified how many nights lol))
December 09, 2018 1:33AMGM (GM): As soon as the marks are on, Dante, you can feel the bottles within a hand's reach.
December 09, 2018 1:34AMDante: ((we never specified how long our stay was. In hindsight that seems a bit .. odd))
December 09, 2018 1:34AMJessica: ((I'm sure we can extend our stay while we're getting a wheelchair))
December 09, 2018 1:34AMGM (GM): Yeah
December 09, 2018 1:34AMEve K.: ((Eve's standard is 2 nights when she books fake cover hotel rooms))
December 09, 2018 1:35AMGM (GM): sounds good
December 09, 2018 1:35AMKurtis Kerner: "Alright, I'll be back."
walks out the door for a few minutes
rolling 7d10>8!
= 3 Successes
comes back considerably sooner than expected
Eve K. walks over to the bed and lays down, stretching out all 5'4" of her
December 09, 2018 1:38AMEve K.: "That was quick"
December 09, 2018 1:38AMKurtis Kerner: "Wow, what do you know. Love this place. A wheelchair in the end of the corridor on every floor."
December 09, 2018 1:38AMJustin: Justin snores and moves around a bit. December 09, 2018 1:39AMDante: Dante leans himself against the wall, sliding down it just a bit. His gaze rises from the floor as Kurtis returns. "Makes sense."
December 09, 2018 1:40AMKurtis Kerner: "Alright, let's get the poor guy all comfy."
helps Justin from his chair into the wheel chair
December 09, 2018 1:40AMJustin: Justin half-snaps back to reality as he starts getting moved. "Oh ow owow oghosh.."
December 09, 2018 1:41AMKurtis Kerner: If Justin doesn't wake, he'll just pick him up. How much does Justin weigh? Kurt has str 3 December 09, 2018 1:41AMJustin: 187
December 09, 2018 1:41AMEve K.: ((oghosh))
December 09, 2018 1:41AMKurtis Kerner: ((wow))
((thats at 19 years old...))
December 09, 2018 1:42AMJessica: ((how tall is he?))
December 09, 2018 1:42AMKurtis Kerner: ((ok str 3 can lift up to 250 lbs))
((we good))
December 09, 2018 1:42AMJustin: ((6'))
December 09, 2018 1:43AMKurtis Kerner: "It's okay, it's okay, man. Rest, we'll roll ya around a little, let your foot rest, buddy."
December 09, 2018 1:44AMJustin: "I made a potman."
Justin grumbles and quickly falls back asleep after getting settled.
December 09, 2018 1:44AMKurtis Kerner: "Fernando is part of the team now."
December 09, 2018 1:44AMJustin: "Fights crime."
"And ghosts."
"Like scooby doo."
"I like that show."
December 09, 2018 1:45AMDante: Dante looks over to the fleshy abomination and grimaces, eyes glazing over a bit. Eve K. stares at the ceiling for a bit mouthing the name "Fernando", shakes her head and gets up.
December 09, 2018 1:46AMKurtis Kerner: "DC, do you mind marking my sword? I thought you did before, is the reach still holding up?"
December 09, 2018 1:46AMJustin: "The dog talks..."
Justin grumbles, apparently still stuck on scooby doo in his unconscious state. "Kurt."
Justin flails his arm at kurtis.
"Hey."
December 09, 2018 1:47AMKurtis Kerner: "There there buddy."
December 09, 2018 1:47AMDante: Dante rubs his chin at the question. "I don't recall having done so. Not sure. Yeah, I can mark it."
He will move to mark the pommel December 09, 2018 1:47AMJustin: "If we see a dog, I'm gonna make it talk instead of bark, okay?"
Justin laughs and falls back asleep.
December 09, 2018 1:48AMEve K.: "Riiiight... Well. Be back in a bit. Maybe take a nap? Don't mess with the soul jars.
December 09, 2018 1:48AMJessica: ((screeches in Professional)) December 09, 2018 1:48AMGM (GM): You feel the pommel of Kurt's sword within your grasp, and Kurt in turn doesn't feel bad leaving it in the room on his bed, in case we never come back to the hotel. December 09, 2018 1:50AMKurtis Kerner: "We should all go. If the mundane distraction fails, it never hurts to have Dante, you know..."
makes a scissors motion and clicks his tongue "do the snip snip"
wheels Justin out the door Eve K. shrugs and follows Kurtis out
December 09, 2018 1:51AMJessica: Same
December 09, 2018 1:51AMJustin: Not wanting to miss it if any dogs are near, Justin reaches out with his life senses so he knows if any dogs come near to him, even if his eyes are closed. rolling 7d10>8!
= 3 Successes
December 09, 2018 1:52AMDante: Dante scratches his head and follows in silence. December 09, 2018 1:52AMJessica: ((pls no))
December 09, 2018 1:52AMGM (GM): So, whoever wants to come, here's the idea, on the map. The murder happened at the red X. That's where Eve needs to be. Someone can go with her, probably best if that someone is an unnoticeable person. Meanwhile, the big distract, is gonna try to approach from this direction, and pull as many guards attention as possible.
December 09, 2018 1:52AMEve K.: ((Justin is never drinking again. Ever. ever ever.))
December 09, 2018 1:52AMJustin: ((:)))
December 09, 2018 1:52AMGM (GM): Justin has a sense life now, tuned to dog
December 09, 2018 1:52AMEve K.: ((Eve will learn enough matter to change any alcohol he tries to drink into water...))
December 09, 2018 1:53AMJustin: ((Matter battle!))
((Also, I see no red x))
((Nevermind))
December 09, 2018 1:53AMJessica: ((bottom of the building))
December 09, 2018 1:53AMEve K.: ((I'll get a special rote called water into wine))
December 09, 2018 1:53AMJustin: ((Wine into more wine))
December 09, 2018 1:54AMJessica: ((She's gonna Flint the shit out of your wine))
December 09, 2018 1:54AMEve K.: ((strike that.. reverse it... carry on))
December 09, 2018 1:54AMGM (GM): ((J-Eve-sus Christ))
((but reverse))
Okay, so on we go, out of the hotel lobby, where nobody questions us now or even wants to pay attention, cause we got a dirty disabled person with us now, and nobody wants to make awkward eye contact with that stuff.
December 09, 2018 1:55AMJessica: ((we should do that more often then))
December 09, 2018 1:55AMGM (GM): ((justin is now required to sprint up every stairwell))
Eve K. doesn't follow too close so it doesn't look like she's with Kurtis
December 09, 2018 1:56AMGM (GM): There are three police officers and one forensics person inspecting the walls on our side.
December 09, 2018 1:56AMJessica: Jessica is going to stick near Dante since she's most noticeable to potential terrorists and he's the one in the best position to do something about it.
December 09, 2018 1:58AMGM (GM): ((i forgot how we did tokens))
December 09, 2018 1:58AMJustin: ((Drag and drop from character card.))
December 09, 2018 2:00AMJessica: ((alt and drag to keep it off the grid lines))
December 09, 2018 2:02AMDante: Dante will follow somewhat close to Eve, but make himself as unnoticeable as possible. He will also focus on watching for people who might take notice of Jessica ((incognito presence impromptu cast))
rolling 8d10>8!
= 4 Successes
((also book doesn't clarify if self cast only, but gives no examples of targeting other))
December 09, 2018 2:04AMKurtis Kerner: ((we can invent it. For 8 xp, you can buy incognito other, person or object, and we never have to wonder that question again))
December 09, 2018 2:04AMDante: ((Oh nevermind, hold on))
((yeah, just the self. 8 xp? Fine.))
December 09, 2018 2:06AMKurtis Kerner: ((if you want same dice pool as incognito presence, we'll just make it all inclusive. Up to you. Impromptu is fine too, you're strong enough))
December 09, 2018 2:06AMDante: ((are we calling that mind 4 then?))
December 09, 2018 2:06AMKurtis Kerner: ((yeah))
((it's a simple upgrade))
So, when Kurt and Justin are about right there, at the check mark, at the yellow line, Kurtis takes Justin's shoe from the broken ankle (which i hope to god we had common sense to take off when we were putting ice on him and shit, if we didn't, he'll carefully remove it, untie it and shit), and he'll throw the said shoe over the yellow line a good bit, to make it look like Justin threw it off.*
Gonna roll sleight of hand
December 09, 2018 2:09AMJessica: ((fucking lol))
December 09, 2018 2:09AMKurtis Kerner: both my larceny and subterfuge are 3, so doesnt matter which skill i roll, dex is 4, so 7 total
ummmm... and imma willpower this thing
+3
rolling 10d10>8!

December 09, 2018 2:10AMGM (GM): one guy was super close to us, so he may get a chance to notice that Kurt did it on purpose

= 3 Successes
And he did!
December 09, 2018 2:11AMJessica: ((#professionals))
December 09, 2018 2:11AMDante: ((buying the rote then))
Dante looks over to Jessica as well and focuses on applying the same obfuscating will he used on himself several times onto her. December 09, 2018 2:12AMGM (GM): ((sold))
December 09, 2018 2:12AMDante: rolling 10d10>8!
= 2 Successes
((do you want like.. a mana cost for casting it on another or anything?))
December 09, 2018 2:13AMJessica: ((nice dice pool))
December 09, 2018 2:13AMGM (GM): ((mmmm... I'd say, no mana cost to conceal objects, and 1 mana cost to conceal a person))
December 09, 2018 2:13AMJustin: ((Most things like that are just 1 arcana higher and that's it.))
December 09, 2018 2:13AMGM (GM): ((i mean, nah let's go with the book, no mana cost))
December 09, 2018 2:13AMDante: ((Wits, Mind, Sub. Half my dice pool is in arcanum. And alrighty, sounds good.))
December 09, 2018 2:13AMEve K.: ((is very professional police... super dice roll))
December 09, 2018 2:14AMDante: ((I just don't wanna get too imba))
December 09, 2018 2:14AMGM (GM): ((its not true invisibility. it's like, an ignore me field. They can still see you, just not pay attention, father morrison style))
((yeah i dont think its imba, coz u gotta maintain it, and you still gotta contest perception. And do multiple targets, so counts against spell upkeep))
December 09, 2018 2:15AMDante: ((fair enough))
December 09, 2018 2:15AMGM (GM): ((i have 4-5 dice pool for rando civilians and 6-7 for law enforcement, 8-9 for elite professionals))
((cops been lately rolling really fucking good))
((cops more professional than us))
December 09, 2018 2:15AMEve K.: ((police must have 5 in both skill and stat to roll 10 dice))
December 09, 2018 2:16AMDante: Dante gives a self-assured nod and discreet thumbs up to Jessica, moving in closer to whisper. "Should be a lot less .. out of place now. Just stay casual and none should be the wiser."
December 09, 2018 2:16AMGM (GM): ((that was dante rolling. police rolled 6 dice))
December 09, 2018 2:16AMEve K.: ((nevermind that was dante))
December 09, 2018 2:16AMCop: "Hey, was denkst du machst du?"
December 09, 2018 2:17AMKurtis Kerner: "What? I'm sorry, I don't speak german. Can I get over and get my brother's shoe?"
December 09, 2018 2:18AMcop: "
December 09, 2018 2:18AMKurtis Kerner: Bleib hinter der gelben Linie! Ich habe gesehen, wie du diesen Schuh hineingeworfen hast. Ich werde Sie wegen Eingriffs in einen Tatort festhalten, Ihre Hände vom Rollstuhl nehmen!!"
December 09, 2018 2:18AMJustin: Justin puts his head up at all the excitement. "Scooby doooo!"
December 09, 2018 2:18AMCop: "Bleib hinter der gelben Linie! Ich habe gesehen, wie du diesen Schuh hineingeworfen hast. Ich werde Sie wegen Eingriffs in einen Tatort festhalten, Ihre Hände vom Rollstuhl nehmen."
December 09, 2018 2:18AM (From Eve K.): do I have to be on the x or can I try from the other side of the fence?
December 09, 2018 2:18AMGM (GM): ((sorry not kurtis, cop said that))
December 09, 2018 2:18AMDante: Dante turns his attention back to the greatest distraction ever conceived by man or god. December 09, 2018 2:18AMJustin: "Where are you?"
December 09, 2018 2:19AM (To Eve K.): you gotta make contact with the x. It's a pretty wide area, just have to touch the ground, as much as step on it and you can immediately cast
December 09, 2018 2:20AMKurtis Kerner: "What? What, no calm down, please, officer, my brother is special needs, see?"
December 09, 2018 2:20AMJessica: Jessica grabs Dante's sleeve to keep him walking so they don't get distracted by their own distraction.
December 09, 2018 2:20AMGM (GM): The cop is getting really angry and pulls the others up. He pulls out handcuffs and goes to draw his weapon.
December 09, 2018 2:21AMKurtis Kerner: realizes what would happen if they were to arrest and search him and find he has two pistols under the blazer. Eve K. walking slowly around the commotion, then more quickly as if to get away from the public scene, heading towards the X
December 09, 2018 2:21AMDante: ((wait how many cops are even over there right now?))
December 09, 2018 2:21AMcop: "Sir, treten Sie vom Rollstuhl weg. Du bist verhaftet!"
December 09, 2018 2:22AMGM (GM): ((pretty much all of em on this side, they're arresting his ass))
Cops are angry, they all pull up, holding radios. One of them goes to pick up the shoe.
Kurtis kinda says fuck paradox and tries to perform some precision light surgery to bend light around the holsters and the guns under the blazer.
December 09, 2018 2:24AMJessica: ((lol precision light surgery))
Eve K. with all the cops fully distracted at this point, slips over the fence and onto the death site
December 09, 2018 2:25AMEve K.: rolling 7d10>8!
= 3 Successes
December 09, 2018 2:25AMGM (GM): ((oh god i dont even have the rote, cant use powerword, cant use shit))
December 09, 2018 2:25AMKurtis Kerner: rolling 8d10>8!

December 09, 2018 2:25AMJessica: ((make that "precision" light surgery))
December 09, 2018 2:25AMKurtis Kerner: raises his hands and takes them off the wheelchair "Look, I was just getting frustrated.... I know what it looks like.... ah fuck it... pack me in."
December 09, 2018 2:27AMDante: Dante mutters a curse under his breath as the situation immediately deteriorates. Is this what he wanted? he thinks to himself as he shifts his gaze to Eve. December 09, 2018 2:27AMGM (GM): cops roll Justin away from Kurtis and put handcuffs on Kurt, searching his pockets Eve, you're through, enough that you can get your foot on the crime scene area
December 09, 2018 2:29AMDante: Dante moves further ((south?)) to observe where Eve is at, also trying to keep an eye on the distraction. ((Is that blue person by the X a guard? And is he visible? from here?))
December 09, 2018 2:30AMKurtis Kerner: "Look, I didn't know what the yellow tape means, I figured reconstruction. Wanted to see what shoe sizes you guys accept to become president. Yeah, you have no idea what I'm saying, do you? I'm the retarded one of the two. The kid's actually a genius. He's like Xavier from X-men? He grew a living flower pot. Did you know that?"
Eve K. quickly casts the spell to determine how her ghosts died
December 09, 2018 2:30AMEve K.: rolling 7d10>8!

December 09, 2018 2:31AMJustin: "Fernando..."
Justin squints up at one of the german police officers and closes his eyes again.
December 09, 2018 2:31AMJessica: ((NO))
December 09, 2018 2:31AMGM (GM): Cops are calling in an interpreter, and they are very confused about the weird bulges they can feel, but not see. The light adjusts perfectly to their angles, but, the sensation doesn't. rolling 2d10>8!
= 0 Successes
December 09, 2018 2:32AMJessica: ((god, do not cast again, justin))
((ffs))
December 09, 2018 2:32AMJustin: ((This was all Kurt.))
December 09, 2018 2:32AMJessica: ((I thought you were closing your eyes to concentrate))
December 09, 2018 2:33AMGM (GM): The cops kinda panic. They put Kurt up against the wall. Which is when they probably figure out he also has cocaine in his system.
Back to Eve
Eve, you see the following.
Three ambulance cars stood where you stand. Each car had 4 people in it. They wore white lab coats and black terrorist ski masks. You see Hans killing 7 of them in the most epic show down, like matrix style. Surrounded by some sort of mental blockade that negates sleeper attention, he is punching them 20 feet up in the air. Until a blonde man who looks like so (must be Peter), and Mladen, approach him.
December 09, 2018 2:37AMDante: *Seeing that Eve is apparently not really at risk of the blue stick figure nearby her, he makes like he is checking his watch and turns his attention back to the distraction. ((Are there 4 cops there now?))
December 09, 2018 2:44AMGM (GM): Hans's eyes light up and his fists go on fire. Mladen and Hans engage in what you've never seen done, but read about. Mladen issued a challenge and performed squaring of the circle, a ritual that allows mages to combat within their arcana, and Hans accepted.
Mladen puts his hand on the ground and chants: "I hereby invoke the Squaring of the Ancient Circle"
"I accept." - Hans replies, and a circle between three ambulances shifts its air, separating itself from laws of reality. In the midst of a massive struggle, Hans received multiple knife wounds from the men in masks, but withstood them all. Peter stabbed Hans in the back with a knife while Hans was jamming his flaming fist into Mladen's mouth, holding him in a submission hold. Hans' eyes glow white as he melts Mladen's face off. Mladen yells "You thieves had had enough!"
Mladen holds Hans still, and Peter thrusts his hand, which is made of steel now, into Hans's chest and rips his heart out. Even without his heart, Hans kills Mladen, and turns around to burn Peter's face off as well, and before Hans died, he said "Who needs cards when a soul would do?" and threw a piece of himself, a business card, at something, as one of the ambulances vanished into nothing.*
December 09, 2018 2:45AMGM (GM): (Dante, yes, there are 4 cops on Kurtis)
(and one civilian investigator, architecture specialist)
December 09, 2018 2:48AMKurtis Kerner: meanwhile, Kurt's kinda helpless, cause literally anything he could do would be violent, and utterly screw the pooch December 09, 2018 2:49AM (From Eve K.): so where was the explosion in all this?
December 09, 2018 2:49AMGM (GM): Kurt submits to the police while Eve continues the read December 09, 2018 2:50AMJessica: ((Poor Kurt))
December 09, 2018 2:50AMGM (GM): Eve, as far as you can tell, there was no explosion.
Explosion did not kill either Mladen or Hans. You'd have to go inside the arena to see what happened to the sleepers.
Dante, both cops that were by X are now checking out what's going on with Kurt and Justin
December 09, 2018 2:54AMDante: Grimacing, Dante looks at the furthest cop, his eyes hardening ((telepathic control))
(err)
December 09, 2018 2:54AMKurtis Kerner: The cops are trying to strip Kurtis of the blazer to figure out what the hell the invisible bulges are, what's he hiding under the shirt.

Eve K. takes a deep breath to calm her nerves and slips into the Arena. She walks purposefully like she's there on business to investigate the scene.
December 09, 2018 2:55AMDante: ((The furthest cop from the scene that was by the X thinks he's being called away to the south, a disturbance in the park))
December 09, 2018 2:56AMKurtis Kerner: realizes that they're about to discover invisible guns, and gives Justin's wheelchair a kinetic push forward, past the line towards the building, hoping that a self moving crazy wheelchair will be more attention grabbing.
furthest cop suddenly fucks off, responds to his radio and runs over to the park. Others call to him, like wtf are you doing.... when this happens....

December 09, 2018 2:58AMGM (GM): Justin's wheelchair starts to spontaneously roll forward, breaching the yellow tape. It rips and lands in Justin's lap.
Dante, they don't look like it, but with an impromptu cast you can easily find out which one's in command.
Oh wait.
You worked in prison.
December 09, 2018 2:59AMDante: ((I might have an idea, might not. I assumed this would be some kind of investigation))
December 09, 2018 2:59AMGM (GM): Yeah the one closest to you has the bearings of the senior officer.
December 09, 2018 2:59AMDante: ((alright))
December 09, 2018 3:00AMGM (GM): One of the remaining 3 cops handling Kurtis goes wtf, and chases after the wheelchair to stop it.
December 09, 2018 3:02AMJustin: Justin looks down at the wheelchair and talks to it's spirit. "Do your thing buddy.:

December 09, 2018 3:04AMJustin: ((There is a rote.))
((That you can tell a spirit to do something within it's whellhouse. Justin asked the wheelchair to wheel.))
((It requires Matter and SPirit.))
December 09, 2018 3:04AMEve K.: (lol)
(the wheel chair is wheeling him away))
December 09, 2018 3:05AMJessica: ((wtf why))
((can we try Justin on cocaine next?))
December 09, 2018 3:06AMGM (GM): One of the cops reaches for the radio to call for backup, Kurtis nullifies the radio signal.
Meanwhile, the wheelchair gently wheels Justin around forward a little more, aiming for the availability ramp, so Justin wouldn't have to roll down the stairs. But of course, when the cop catches up, being a nice helpful wheelchair, when the cop grips the handles, it subdues and helps him assist the disabled individual.

December 09, 2018 3:08AMGM (GM): ((ok Justin, you got control of the chair.))
December 09, 2018 3:08AMJustin: Justin looks at the cop who has his wheelchair, he looks the guy up and down, looking to see if he's armed. December 09, 2018 3:09AMGM (GM): Yeah of course he's armed, got a gun which he just holstered
December 09, 2018 3:09AMJustin: "Do your thing buddy."

December 09, 2018 3:10AMJessica: ((Kurtis and Justin get to be every distraction))
December 09, 2018 3:11AMEve K.: (its like a old timey comedy)
December 09, 2018 3:11AMGM (GM): ((I'm dying. This is not what I imagined the distraction to be. Was just gonna ask cops for some shoe assistance for my retarded bro))
December 09, 2018 3:11AMJustin: Justin waits for the distracted officer to let go of the wheelchair so it can wheel him around more. "Scoooby dooo! Where are you!?"
Justin looks around for a dog.
December 09, 2018 3:11AMEve K.: lolololol
December 09, 2018 3:12AMGM (GM): Oh the cop let go of the damn chair. He's now screaming. Problem is, other cops now think Justin shot him.
Every cop around the building is coming here now.
December 09, 2018 3:12AMDante: ((meanwhile inside the arena where Eve is alone))
December 09, 2018 3:12AMEve K.: ((all of the ghosts))
December 09, 2018 3:15AMGM (GM): Eve, what you see in the arena is the following. There are ghosts of several people here. They died in accidental gunfire aimed not at them. The whole scene took place as Jessica played Mladen some MtG. Men in Grey, like the ones in Cubic's office, golems, swarmed the building, there were about 20 of them, under control of Hans. The terrorists were hiding among the audience. They started shooting, panic ensued. Some sort of explosion happened at the card table between Jessica and Mladen. Their cards exploded up in the air. The golems started putting hands to their heads, Xavier style, and made a perimeter. They started shutting audience members down. People started falling asleep.
The only ones not falling asleep were the ones with Gnosis resistance, the mages. There were 12 of them in the crowd. Shots went off. People died. Jessica ran out of the building.
You can't see the fates of the living, their images are faint. Your vision focuses on the murders. Most mere mortals here were shot by accident.
You also see deaths of 9 of the gray suited golems, but they left no ghosts
Only about half of the dead that you count actually left ghosts. The other half successfully moved on.
Among the ghosts, two females stand out to you, the ones you saw tethered to Jessica
December 09, 2018 3:18AMGM (GM): a german girl and a chinese girl
Outside is fucking chaos.
The cop whose gun shot itself cries out that it was an accidental discharge. All the cops rush to him now to assist him with the injury. They leave one guy to guard Kurtis. Who is handcuffed, and now once again being searched. It's about this time Kurt decides to remove all and any friction force from the bottoms of the officer's shoes.

Now Kurt bleeds out of an eye too, but the officer hilariously falls down and can't get up.
Eve K. having seen all she can of the attack, Eve exits the building and heads back towards the hotel
December 09, 2018 3:27AMDante: ((so we have 1 slippery boi, 1 holey boi, and how many are assisting him?))
December 09, 2018 3:27AMKurtis Kerner: ((and you got rid of 1 boi, he's wandering in the park))
((got 4 more assisting him))
((they got here from all around the building))
December 09, 2018 3:28AMJessica: ((can't we just leave? they can't even stand))
December 09, 2018 3:28AMKurtis Kerner: ((one of em cant))
December 09, 2018 3:29AMJessica: ((oh i see))

December 09, 2018 3:31AMJessica: ((oh god))
December 09, 2018 3:31AMDante: Dante pinches the bridge of his nose and turns to Jessica briefly. "We're professionals," he whispers as he closes his eyes, other hand's fingers curling inward to a loose fist. December 09, 2018 3:31AMGM (GM): the handcuffs squeeze Kurt's hands so tight that it brings him to his knees
December 09, 2018 3:32AMJessica: "Should we do something?"

December 09, 2018 3:35AMJessica: ((poor dude thinks everyone just fucking left him))
December 09, 2018 3:35AMDante: Dante just grunts at the question and opens his eyes, gesturing discreetly with his hand as the cops move away. ((that leaves slippery boi and holey boi right?))
December 09, 2018 3:35AMGM (GM): Even with 1 success per person, they're not mages and have no gnosis to resist XD
December 09, 2018 3:36AMJessica: ((did the cuffs finally come off?))
December 09, 2018 3:36AMJustin: ((3 successes says yes.))
December 09, 2018 3:36AMGM (GM): ((yeah, coming off is a function of cuffs))
The cops leave. The wounded one is like "wtf????"
December 09, 2018 3:37AMDante: ((Its ok, he's Jake. No one liked Jake.))
December 09, 2018 3:37AMGM (GM): The forensics guys are not armed and they are like "what the fuck is this day and what do we do???"
Kurt is free of the cuffs, and he thinks about pistol whipping the cop unconscious, but then figures, why? at least assault is not one of his charges in Germany now, so he just books it into full sprint across the road.
December 09, 2018 3:38AMDante: ((if eve is still inside, what do I need to roll for sympathetically communicating with telepathy?))
December 09, 2018 3:38AMJustin: Justin and his wonder-chair follow. December 09, 2018 3:39AMGM (GM): ((Eve was heading to the hotel, and you can communicate with all of us except Jessica at -2))

Dante thinks to Eve: "I don't know if you saw, but you definitely heard the gunshot. We will be needing to leave. Quickly."
Eve K. thinks back to Dante "On it. Let's get everything you marked with your chalk and get to the Mercedes-Benz arena. There was a massacre here. We have to prevent another massacre. I'll check us out of the hotel. Also, Kurt doesn't get to make plans anymore."

((more bullshit))
December 09, 2018 3:47AMDante: To Eve: "Noted."
December 09, 2018 3:47AMGM (GM): The poor frictionless cop is trying to make it to the wounded cop. He can't get up, so he crawls to him. Pieces together that it's his shoes that were the problem, and takes them off, running over to his wounded buddy in just socks.

You feel it would be better to try again later, something in Kurt's mind is barricading the signal. But yeah you can try again
December 09, 2018 3:51AMDante: ((Nah))
Dante nudges Jessica to follow him and moves briskly to trail Kurtis.
December 09, 2018 3:52AMJessica: Follows
December 09, 2018 3:52AMKurtis Kerner: is flagging down a taxi, wiping his mouth, nose, and eye beforehand December 09, 2018 3:53AMDante: Dante approaches Kurtis from the side facing the hotel and whispers quickly "Eve checking us out. I'll grab our jars when we're safe. We're going to Mercedes-Benz Arena."
December 09, 2018 3:53AMKurtis Kerner: is now in front of the hotel entrance where cars are dropping off new guests, it shouldnt be hard to get a car "Got it. Is everyone here?"
December 09, 2018 3:54AMDante: "Did we leave anything else up there?"
December 09, 2018 3:54AMKurtis Kerner: "The living pot."

December 09, 2018 3:55AMDante: Dante grimaces and nods "Yeah, yeah. I'll run up there and take care of it. Shouldn't notice me."
December 09, 2018 3:55AMKurtis Kerner: "Wait!"
December 09, 2018 3:55AMJustin: "You want me to make fernando able to walk?"
December 09, 2018 3:55AMDante: waits December 09, 2018 3:56AMKurtis Kerner: "Mark the pavement right here. You can teleport to things you mark, right? Get to the room, grab the bottles, the sword, the pot, and get back here."
December 09, 2018 3:56AMJessica: Jessica looks horrified at the idea of modifying the plant any further.
December 09, 2018 3:57AMEve K.: "Yes sir, we're going to be checking out early. Our flight has been rescheduled. Thank you for the very pleasant stay, everything was excellent."
December 09, 2018 3:57AMConcierge: "Yes, Ms. Kline, will it be cash or card?"
Eve K. hands over the cash.
December 09, 2018 3:58AMDante: Dante thinks for a moment. "Alright, sure." *He will move to a discreet location nearby the hotel and mark the pavement, then briskly hurry into the hotel.

By the time Dante is back with Fernando, Eve has checked us out.
We're ready to gtfo
December 09, 2018 4:07AMDante: Dante hesitates a moment, staring at this abomination with a mixture of disgusting and confusion. He grabs one of the sheets from the hotel and wraps it up, then focuses on the chalk mark on the van and steps through, secures the bundle of gross in the van, looks around for a moment, then steps back through his pavement mark by the hotel and meets up with the group. ((Oh I meant to mark Fernando too))
December 09, 2018 4:08AMGM (GM): ((you can. add it to your marked list))
December 09, 2018 4:09AMJessica: ((you people are awful, leaving poor Fernando inside a locked car. He's going to die of a heat stroke.))

December 09, 2018 4:10AMGM (GM): We get the fuck into the car.
December 09, 2018 4:10AMJessica: Taxi.
December 09, 2018 4:10AMDante: Dante loads up the stuff into the trunk of the taxi (presumably) and heads over to the driver. "Yeah, sorry about that. Wouldn't want to leave anything behind, though."
He forces a smile and gets in the fucking taxi. December 09, 2018 4:12AMGM (GM): 25 minutes later we're at the Mercedes Benz arena. Aaaaand we're a bit late to the party. As same shit is happening here. Yellow tape, but waaaaaaaaay more cops. It's swarming with GSG-9 (German SWAT)
We can't even get to the neighborhood, cops turn the taxi around.
December 09, 2018 4:13AMDriver: "Ohh, sorry, looks like we can't go this way. Want me to drop you off in the area?"

A powerful awakening hued with a death hue took place here, and a powerful distortion of mind.
Kurtis asks to stop the car and let us out.
December 09, 2018 4:18AMDante: ((Is this distortion similar to the one I felt when we were in Cubic's place?))
December 09, 2018 4:19AMKurtis Kerner: "I can see the thread. One signature. One aura, lasting from the arena over across the neighborhood.... I think whoever this is, they can fly?"
December 09, 2018 4:19AMJessica: "Possibly a stupid question, but do we know it's human?"
December 09, 2018 4:20AMGM (GM): ((This distortion is more linear, you can sense it started in the arena, and now is somewhere among the buildings going west, there are some hotels there
((The one in Cubic's place was a mental shielding of a building. This one is not as powerful and feels more like a fractured mind))
December 09, 2018 4:21AMDante: Dante steps out of the taxi and indicates with an extended finger westward "Something over that way, by the hotels. Maybe in them. Dunno."
December 09, 2018 4:21AMGM (GM): Eve, you can sense the Death arcanum awakening so strongly you almost smell it.

December 09, 2018 4:22AMEve K.: "There."
December 09, 2018 4:23AMJustin: Justin looks around. December 09, 2018 4:23AMKurtis Kerner: "I don't know if it's human, Jessica.... but I don't know if we are either...."
December 09, 2018 4:23AMJustin: "What's happening?"
December 09, 2018 4:24AMKurtis Kerner: "Well. The arena is closed down, there are cops everywhere, tons of dead folks, and there's a hole in the ceiling, and a mage aura lasting from the hole and arching over the skyline, landing in.... that building over there."
December 09, 2018 4:24AMJustin: "Oh. Why are we getting out here then, if the aura's over there?"
December 09, 2018 4:24AMKurtis Kerner: "And you rode in a wheelchair like a pro."
December 09, 2018 4:25AMEve K.: "Don't want to let the taxi driver in on what we're looking for."
December 09, 2018 4:25AMKurtis Kerner: gets sword and bottles out of trunk December 09, 2018 4:25AMJustin: Hops out of the taxi. December 09, 2018 4:25AMDriver: drives off, when he is paid and everyone has everything.
December 09, 2018 4:25AMJustin: "Ow, ow ow."
December 09, 2018 4:25AMDante: "We are avoiding whatever the hell did this, right? Taking on a flying whatever the hell isn't something we agreed upon, was it?"
December 09, 2018 4:26AMJustin: "I don't think I'm in a condition to fight a flying monster."
December 09, 2018 4:26AMKurtis Kerner: "I agree. We find it. We report to Cubic. We get the fuck out. We trade Hans for Jorg."
December 09, 2018 4:26AMDante: Dante looks at Justin's foot. "I don't think you're in a condition to fight a fast moving toddler. We need to address that."
December 09, 2018 4:27AMJessica: "I like that plan."
December 09, 2018 4:27AMKurtis Kerner: "Could you try to heal yourself again, Justin? You had a nice nap."
December 09, 2018 4:27AMJustin: "Yeah, sure."
Justin looks down at his ankle and uses his newly focused and relaxed state to channel healing powers into the wound.

December 09, 2018 4:28AMJessica: ((yikes))
December 09, 2018 4:29AMDante: Dante moves to assist Justin in stabilizing on both feet. December 09, 2018 4:30AMJustin: Justin grunts and grimaces and waves Dante off as he straightens up. December 09, 2018 4:30AMKurtis Kerner: "Thank fuck."
December 09, 2018 4:30AMJustin: He frowns as he takes an assessment of himself and rids his body of any lingering toxins from the alcohol. rolling 7d10>8!

December 09, 2018 4:31AMJustin: Justin scratches the back of his head, good as new. December 09, 2018 4:31AMDante: Nodding, Dante steps aside and rubs his chin. "Also, in case you forgot. You're a father now. Congratulations. You named it Fernando."
December 09, 2018 4:31AMJustin: "Huh?"
December 09, 2018 4:31AMKurtis Kerner: "Oh you're in for a treat."
December 09, 2018 4:32AMDante: "Don't worry about it right now. Your reunion will be beautiful."
December 09, 2018 4:32AMJustin: "Alright, whatever. Let's figure out what this massacre is all about."
December 09, 2018 4:32AMDante: Dante shoves one hand in a pocket and gestures forward in a polite "you first" motion with the other. December 09, 2018 4:33AMJustin: Justin kneels down and ties his shoe on. December 09, 2018 4:35AMKurtis Kerner: Kurtis follows the thread of the aura and leads whoever follows around the hotel's back side through the fence. This area of the hotel is closed for reconstruction and remodeling and no guests are here. The fence is closed but not locked, there are signs placed around to not slip and not enter. The closed off section leads into the pool designated for guests, but the pool is also closed. December 09, 2018 4:36AMEve K.: "All we know right now is a lot of death magic took place, and possibly someone awakened."
Eve K. she finds her CSI badge and draws it, pulling a pistol at ready with the other.
December 09, 2018 4:37AMDante: Dante will bring up the rear, keeping an eye on their flank. December 09, 2018 4:38AMKurtis Kerner: purses his lips at Eve's precaution and chooses between guns and fireballs in his head. He decides to not be seen slinging two pistols, not having the equivalent police ID. December 09, 2018 4:38AMGM (GM): As we get near the pool, we see a figure, floating face down.
Lucas, pls describe your physical appearance.
December 09, 2018 4:39AMJustin: Justin flips on healer's trance to see the figure's life signs. rolling 8d10>8!

December 09, 2018 4:39AMGM (GM): He's quickly dying.
December 09, 2018 4:40AMJessica: ((I can call him if it's worth waking him up but I think he went to bed))
December 09, 2018 4:40AMDante: Dante drops Third Eye for Mind Sight, trying to detect other human minds in the area rolling 8d10>8!

((sorry sense consciousness for clarification))
December 09, 2018 4:41AMGM (GM): Nobody of significance, you sense hotel staff busy around their business. All the maintenance workers were sent home due to the arena concert massacre
But Dante, this guy
guy in the pool?
His mind is fractured into 3 pieces
December 09, 2018 4:42AMJustin: Justin rushes ahead and jumps straight into the pool in an attempt to grab the man and pull him out of the water. December 09, 2018 4:42AMGM (GM): The size of this guy, Justin
December 09, 2018 4:42AMDante: Dante frowns intensely, unsure of what to make of what he is seeing. ((I assume this is the first time I seen a mind this broken))
December 09, 2018 4:42AMGM (GM): Heaviest motherfucker you had to rescue
((yes, Dante, you've seen nothing like this before))
December 09, 2018 4:43AMJessica: "Can one of us drain the pool? Might be quicker."
December 09, 2018 4:43AMKurtis Kerner: Kurtis, seeing a man bigger and taller than himself, decides to finally draw the guns. "Well I think the switch is somewhere along the wall."
"I'm done breaking reality for today, as it's really been kicking my ass."
December 09, 2018 4:44AMJustin: Justin channels life energy into his muscles. ((Honing the form 9 dice.))

December 09, 2018 4:45AMJustin: Justin frowns and instead pours matter energy into the water, getting it to help him pull the man up out of the water. rolling 6d10>8!

December 09, 2018 4:45AMGM (GM): Now that one works, Justin. The water's motion and density provides you a solid assist.

December 09, 2018 4:46AMGM (GM): you find it alongside the wall
December 09, 2018 4:46AMJessica: flip it
December 09, 2018 4:46AMJustin: Justin uses the assistance from the water itself to hoist the guy up out of the water. December 09, 2018 4:46AMJessica: we can either drag him out by the stairs or if magic keep cocking up we'll just be done with the water
December 09, 2018 4:47AMGM (GM): Justin's use of water magic worked well, and the guy is now rescued.
Flip him over, anyone knows CPR?
December 09, 2018 4:47AMJessica: ((Well I tried X) ))
December 09, 2018 4:47AMJustin: Justin follows the guy up onto dry land and flips him over. He attempts to remember what he learned from CPR in scouts. ((Medicine 1))
((What else do I need for CPR roll?))
December 09, 2018 4:48AMGM (GM): int+medicine would do it
December 09, 2018 4:49AMJustin: ((Int 3, Medicine 1, WP 3))

December 09, 2018 4:52AMJustin: I had a blast.
Fernando.
December 09, 2018 4:52AMDante: Fernando, mi amigo.
Can't wait to get really drunk and cast Psychic Genesis on him.
And lose wisdom
December 09, 2018 4:53AMJustin: RIght?
Let's make Fernando our mascot.
I'll fix him right up.
Give him fingers and cover him in eyes.
December 09, 2018 4:53AMDante: Like a proper affront to God
this is fernando
Jess has Peter
December 09, 2018 4:54AMJustin: Yikes.
December 09, 2018 4:54AMGM (GM): Justin has Fernando

December 09, 2018 4:55AMDante: Defo want Network, but I did already buy a rote mid-session. Can wait if you prefer.
December 09, 2018 4:56AMJessica: I'm gonna go ahead and buy Reading the outermost eddies at 1 dot as well
December 09, 2018 4:57AMGM (GM): I don't see Control Object in our book, but there's a Control Spirit which is Spirit 3
December 09, 2018 4:57AMJustin: ((Control object is in silver ladder book. It's what I was using on wheelchair and gun.))
December 09, 2018 4:57AMDante: Oh wow, Spirit also has the same Soul Jar rote as Death
December 09, 2018 4:58AMGM (GM): It's a matter rote?
December 09, 2018 4:58AMJustin: It does. YOu can trap spirits too.
Yah.
Matter 2 but requires spirit 1.
December 09, 2018 4:58AMGM (GM): thats cool
so it's spirit based, not forces based
neat
December 09, 2018 4:59AMJustin: Yeah, all objects have a spirit in them, usually asleep.
But you can ask it to do something that is within a function of the object.
December 09, 2018 4:59AMGM (GM): that's powerful!
December 09, 2018 4:59AMJustin: Like guns going off, or a wheelchair rolling.
It can be if you're creative with it.
December 09, 2018 4:59AMGM (GM): you dont have to be in silver ladder to use it, right?
December 09, 2018 4:59AMJustin: Word.
December 09, 2018 4:59AMGM (GM): i dont see why you would
December 09, 2018 4:59AMJustin: It's just in that book. All the books have rotes.
December 09, 2018 5:00AMGM (GM): and it's matter 2 rote, ok, yeah 4 xp
December 09, 2018 5:00AMJustin: Screwing around is expensive. I'm out of mana again.
December 09, 2018 5:01AMJessica: can I do Wits + Investigation + Fate option for Outmost Eddies since it gives me more dice?
Presence + Occult + Fate is the other
December 09, 2018 5:02AMGM (GM): wits+inv+fate is what's in the main mage book

Ah actually that's Fate 2
I can only do that with magic fairy dust
and I haven't had a rest since we interrogated Hans
December 15, 2018 9:57PMDante: Lacking rest is a staple of our group.
I'm just glad I only have like 2 rotes that require mana
December 15, 2018 9:58PMJessica: I gotta learn how to donate mana
since i can generate it
December 15, 2018 9:58PMDante: Acanthus can generate it?
I assumed this was the realm of Obrimos
December 15, 2018 9:58PMJessica: Acanthus can't I'm just a snowflake
I would have assumed Prime
I'm a good support monkey
watch me dance
December 15, 2018 9:59PMDante: Oh, yeah. Pretty sure its Prime
December 15, 2018 9:59PMJessica: I'm over here talking like Obrimos is an arcana
can you tell i'm already tired?
December 15, 2018 10:00PMDante: just don't try to drain the pool
:D
December 15, 2018 10:00PMJessica: oh god
it's okay
i just have to fuck up harder
then you'll stop bugging me about the pool
jon says box
he's actually on the couch
December 15, 2018 10:01PMDante: It is time
We're just missing 3 people
4 if in reference to the actual session
December 15, 2018 10:02PMJessica: he had a gout flare so he's laying down
December 15, 2018 10:02PMDante: yikes
fucking gout
December 15, 2018 10:03PMJessica: we had it under control for a long time with diet but his doctor said his bloodwork was still bad so we don't know what the deal is
i don't wanna do paleo but they're supposed to be real low on gout despite high meat intake
i hate fad diets though
December 15, 2018 10:04PMDante: Stuff like beer and shellfish and peas are common triggers that I know about. Not sure what else tbh.
December 15, 2018 10:05PMJessica: it's just keto in a fragile masculinity package
turkey
lean meats
December 15, 2018 10:05PMDante: Oh interesting
December 15, 2018 10:05PMJessica: basically the fatty acids in properly fed animals help moderate the uric acid
the problem is we feed everything corn
he can eat grass fed beef and wild salmon but most fish is off limits cause it's not fatty
sugar consumption restricts purine excretion which is why paleo works despite all the meat
cause they eat very little sugar
but we haven't had soda in for fucking ever
December 15, 2018 10:07PMJessica: jon doesn't even like sweets
it's really fucked cause gout is so damaging and we're not sure what's even wrong
December 15, 2018 10:09PMDante: well shit, thats just sucky. Has he also been to another doctor for fresh insight?
December 15, 2018 10:10PMJessica: he just went recently but they gave him medicine
which treats the problem but doesn't really find it
December 15, 2018 10:11PMDante: Yeah
December 15, 2018 10:11PMJessica: i'm sorta grumpy about our healthcare system although i'm still much happier than florida
florida charges like 3x what the rest of the country does and the rest of the country isn't exactly low cost
we also have some non-profits to choose from here
December 15, 2018 10:12PMDante: Options are nice
December 15, 2018 10:12PMJessica: yeah
people around here seem much more content with their options too which makes me feel better cause i still don't know anything
we've only been here two years
December 15, 2018 10:13PMDante: Fair enough.
Around here I've got pretty much two options via my employer. I don't really utilize it, so I don't complain.
December 15, 2018 10:37PMEve K.: REEEEEEE!

December 15, 2018 10:46PM (To Lucas): You remember! You're Alfie. Alfred Hoffmann, you are in love with Astrid, she is the most special wonderful girl you have ever met, and you need to give her the ring. Her address burns in your memory. You gotta get to Astrid and tell her how much you love her, and how wrong you were to tell her that all you need is metal and yourself and your stupid hobbies. You were just afraid of commitment, but now you're not, and you're ready to move out from your parents and get a place with her and start your life together.
December 15, 2018 10:46PMEve K.: best not speak to the mother of a 6 month old about "tired"

(And only German)
December 15, 2018 10:50PM (To Lucas): her name is Astrid Hessing, her address is Haupbannhoff and Lumenkrantz, house number 25, apartment 1
December 15, 2018 10:51PMGM (GM): Ok, Kurtis has prime sight on, Eve has death sight on, Dante has 3rd eye on, Justin had Sense Life and i believe filtering for dogs.
And there aint no fuckin dogs here
December 15, 2018 10:52PMJustin: Justin had healer's trance on Lucas.
That's how he knew he was dying.
December 15, 2018 10:52PMGM (GM): Yup yup
You can see life thread slowly returning to the body. You can say safely that you saved the man.
December 15, 2018 10:53PMDante: Dante watches cautiously, shifting his stance to make himself less noticeable. December 15, 2018 10:53PMGM (GM): Assuming you dropped control of water in the pool as you pulled him out
December 15, 2018 10:54PMLucas: Lucas is a large, leather clad man. Shredded metal band tee, studs, and (currently soggy) black and white makeup. Even through his wet hair and smeared makeup, his features are striking in a rough, scowling way. His eyes are so dark they look black in anything but direct light. His knuckles are calloused and knobbed from years of Brawling. His wet hair is down to nearly his belly and wavy, even when sodden.
December 15, 2018 10:55PMGM (GM): Eve, you can see the weirdest effect that only the crazy books talked about. The man's soul is spliced with two other souls. Not ghosts, tethered with severable connections, but alive and active souls. Crazy woogie boogie stories tell of people who do this to themselves voluntarily under rare, odd, and unrepeatable circumstances. Severing them would certainly kill the host soul.
((Occult 4 + ghosts specialty everybody))
((Eve doesn't just get a plot cookie for nothing))
December 15, 2018 10:56PMJessica: ((I wasn't complaining))
December 15, 2018 10:56PMEve K.: ((whats the attribute? Or do I need to roll?))
December 15, 2018 10:57PMLucas: Lucas sputters loudly as he coughs up lungful of water, but otherwise lies still and looks only barely conscious.
December 15, 2018 10:58PMGM (GM): ((no, you already got the info Eve, thats why you know this, you can see the soul splice))
December 15, 2018 10:59PMLucas: ((oh no. . . Who's the other soul? XD am I Gertie too? Lol))
December 15, 2018 11:02PMDante: Dante looks to the group, then to Justin and the stranger. His gaze hardens as he examines the prone man with his Third Eye. Eve K. 's eyes linger on the large stranger, narrowing and widening in turns. She tilts her head to the left, taking in every detail, cataloging his features with an almost obsessive studiousness.
December 15, 2018 11:03PMJessica: Everyone just seems like they're staring at each other and Kurtis has his guns out. This seems unnecessarily stand-off-ish. Jessica kneels down and says, "Hi, I'm Jessica. I'm guessing you've had a rough night."
December 15, 2018 11:03PMJustin: Justin leans back after he successfully resuscitates the large clown? Mime? It wasn't france but you're never too far from France in europe. "I don't think he's allowed to talk."
December 15, 2018 11:04PMJessica: "Allowed?
December 15, 2018 11:04PMJustin: "Yeah, he's a mime."
"Look at the makeup."
December 15, 2018 11:04PMGM (GM): Dante, you can hear the that this man's mind is shared between three different.... somethings, segments, so to speak. One is actively thinking, and the others, they're in "wait". When you use telepathy to read people's minds, if they're thinking nothing at all, you hear that sort of static, of a mind alive, but not actively engaged. That kind of static is what you hear from the other two thirds.
December 15, 2018 11:04PMEve K.: ...
December 15, 2018 11:05PMDante: "I wouldn't be inclined to talk after nearly drowning."
Dante knits his brow. "Not so sure its a profession thing."
Eve K. 's attention snaps from the man to look at Justin, as if to try and decide if he is joking. When she is certain he isn't she sighs.
December 15, 2018 11:05PMEve K.: "He's an a goth.
December 15, 2018 11:05PMJustin: "He's a building?"
December 15, 2018 11:05PMEve K.: "It's a type of sub-culture"
December 15, 2018 11:06PMLucas: Lucas groggily sits up and looks around at everyone. He clears his throat with a hearty gurgle and tries to speak
December 15, 2018 11:06PMJustin: Justin's eyebrow raises. December 15, 2018 11:06PMJessica: "What is wrong with you?" To Justin
December 15, 2018 11:06PMLucas: "Wo bin Ich?"
December 15, 2018 11:06PMEve K.: "A German goth apparently.."
December 15, 2018 11:06PMKurtis Kerner: "Um. Great. Uuuh. DC? Do your thing. Please."
December 15, 2018 11:06PMJessica: "I speak German."
December 15, 2018 11:07PMJustin: "What? Why is there a subculture named after a form of architecture?"
December 15, 2018 11:07PMEve K.: "That's a very long story Justin."
December 15, 2018 11:07PMLucas: "Wer seit ihr Leute?"
December 15, 2018 11:08PMJessica: ((can we make
Geman like this so we don't have to actually break out a translator? I don't speak German for real))

December 15, 2018 11:08PMKurtis Kerner: ((between Jess and Lucas yes))
December 15, 2018 11:08PMLucas: (Where am I? Who are you people?)
December 15, 2018 11:08PMDante: Dante looks to Eve, then Kurtis. He closes his eyes briefly as his wrist rotates, fingers curling in succession. ((impromptu Universal Language on Kurtis))

December 15, 2018 11:12PMKurtis Kerner: wwwwwuwuwuwuwuwuummmm.... cogs turn in Kurt's mind, and suddenly the man speaks perfectly understandable language to Kurt, including slang and inflections. He can understand, but not speak it back.
December 15, 2018 11:13PMLucas: Lucas stands up unsteadily, turns away from everyone and vomits water.
December 15, 2018 11:13PMKurtis Kerner: "Is he armed? Tell him to drop it. He is pulsing with death and matter arcana, like, red hot. He's connected directly to the arena scene. Threads going across the skyline, they're directly on his head. He's the flying guy."
relaxes a bit, seeing the guy in such miserable state
"Oh."
holsters the guns
December 15, 2018 11:14PMLucas: "
Sorry. I dunno how I got here." He turns to Justin.
"Thanks for pulling me out of the water." December 15, 2018 11:15PMJustin: Justin stares at Lucas as he talks to him in German. He just smiles and waves at the large mime or building. December 15, 2018 11:15PMDante: Dante steps into full view, running a hand across the top of his jet black hair which is tied into a queue behind him. "A fresh awakening here too?"
He seems to be asking Kurtis or Eve, given their proximity. December 15, 2018 11:16PMLucas: (large mime or building. I'm dead. XD)
December 15, 2018 11:16PMKurtis Kerner: "Yeah, this seems really fucking weird. You, Justin, Jessica, now this. Anywhere we go, this shit just gets triggered the closer we get to the gem."
December 15, 2018 11:16PMJessica: Jessica translates for Justin and says,
"Can you tell us what happened to you at the concert?" December 15, 2018 11:16PMKurtis Kerner: "Oh, uh, right. Justin, he said thank you for saving him."
December 15, 2018 11:17PMJessica: (translates the thank you)
December 15, 2018 11:17PMEve K.: "Could be. The concert would have been full of mana... and after an attack that much death could certainly trigger a Moros awakening."
December 15, 2018 11:17PMJustin: "Oh! Tell him no problem."
December 15, 2018 11:17PMLucas: "Are you guys American?" he asks, with almost child-like excitement in his voice.
December 15, 2018 11:17PMKurtis Kerner: "Saying stuff is all Jess and Dante. Dante's thingy works one way."
December 15, 2018 11:18PMJessica: "Yes, almost everyone. Can you speak English?"
December 15, 2018 11:18PMEve K.: (did Dante put it on Eve to?)

December 15, 2018 11:18PMKurtis Kerner: at Justin "You seriously don't know what a goth is? Like, heavy metal stuff? Death punks? Like, what Eve is? Trying to grow out of... from her teens?"
December 15, 2018 11:18PMDante: ((on eve))
December 15, 2018 11:19PMLucas: Lucas frowns at Jessica.
"My head's all fuzzy. I can't remember what happened."
Eve K. snorts at the "trying to grow out of" comment
December 15, 2018 11:19PMJustin: Justin looks to Kurt and just shrugs. "I've legitimately never heard of that stuff."
December 15, 2018 11:19PMJessica: "He says he can't remember what happened."
December 15, 2018 11:19PMJustin: "I've heard of heavy metal. It's like bad rock and roll right?"
December 15, 2018 11:20PMGM (GM): Okay, yeah, one thing is eery. This guy's voice is like, deep. But his tone - he talks like a young boy. It gives a creepy vibe, like... is he a guy who dresses up like a teenage girl sort of person?
Eve K. snorts and begins to chuckle at Justin's comment of 'bad rock and roll'
December 15, 2018 11:20PMLucas: "I can say, "Okay"
and "Hello"
but that's all my English." December 15, 2018 11:20PMGM (GM): There's the animated wonder in his face, the kind that just doesn't match the guy's body.
December 15, 2018 11:20PMJustin: "Oh! Hello back!"
December 15, 2018 11:21PMEve K.: "He has... a very odd aura. It.. looks like... two other souls are bound to him."
December 15, 2018 11:21PMJustin: Justin looks taken aback by Eve's comment. "How does that happen?"
December 15, 2018 11:21PMKurtis Kerner: looks over December 15, 2018 11:21PMDante: Dante steps forward and cocks his arm out, waving politely at the wrist. "To answer your earlier question, Italian here. Americans behind me."
He thumbs behind him. December 15, 2018 11:21PMKurtis Kerner: "Yeah, how does that happen?"
December 15, 2018 11:21PMJessica: "So um, I don't really know how to ask this but do you remember a place with a Tower?" December 15, 2018 11:22PMKurtis Kerner: "Oh my here we go."
December 15, 2018 11:22PMEve K.: "Permanently bound... Well... you -can- do it intentionally..."
December 15, 2018 11:22PMLucas: Lucas' eyes get big, "
Italian? Your German is perfect!" December 15, 2018 11:22PMEve K.: "suppose it could happen accidentally as well... during a high magic death event..."
"Ask him if the saw a river, or a ferry man."
December 15, 2018 11:23PMJessica: In English: "Is it like, repairable?"
December 15, 2018 11:23PMEve K.: "Not without killing him"
December 15, 2018 11:23PMJessica: "Well shit."
December 15, 2018 11:23PMLucas: "
There a couple of old towers in Berlin, but I haven't been to any of them." December 15, 2018 11:23PMDante: Dante gives an embarrassed smirk. His german is far from perfect, but definitely carries a practiced weight. He tends to speak in clipped sentences. "Had to take some classes."
December 15, 2018 11:24PMJessica: "He doesn't remember his awakening. Or he's lying?" She looks at Dante.
"Is that normal?"
December 15, 2018 11:25PMDante: Dante cranes his neck to address the others, giving a shrug and speaks in english. "I don't know if that's normal, but his mind is also completely split. Three ways."
Eve K. squints at the three souls. Studying them, trying to understand which one is currently controlling the body, and anything else she can learn from their connection. "It is not uncommon to have mild amnesia after an awakening."
December 15, 2018 11:25PMKurtis Kerner: "Can we go somewhere before we draw attention? Wet guy, all that."
looks around
December 15, 2018 11:25PMLucas: "
Rivers? There aren't really any big Rivers nearby. Maybe the Spree?" December 15, 2018 11:25PMEve K.: "Where to? We checked out of the hotel."
December 15, 2018 11:26PMLucas: "Can we go inside somewhere and dry me out? I'm freezing."
December 15, 2018 11:26PM (From Eve K.): what do I need to roll to figure out what's going on with his souls more?
December 15, 2018 11:26PMGM (GM): Dante, you can try a more intrusive deep dive into the man's mind, if you want.
December 15, 2018 11:26PMJessica: "He says he's freezing."
"That's a great idea. We are deciding on where." December 15, 2018 11:26PMLucas: "What happened at the concert? Something bad, right?" December 15, 2018 11:27PMJustin: "Aren't we at an inn right now?"
December 15, 2018 11:27PMGM (GM): With current sight you can't tell if he's lying or not, and you cannot look exactly what the mind fragments are, unless you bring in more effort.
December 15, 2018 11:27PMJessica: "Something bad, yeah. We're not sure what yet." December 15, 2018 11:28PM (To Eve K.): Occult+Intelligence
December 15, 2018 11:28PMLucas: (does Alfie remember Lucas at all? He should at least remember some of the early concert and Lucas keeping him from getting crushed)
December 15, 2018 11:28PMDante: Dante begins looking around at the surrounding buildings. If any of them look like a place we can rent a room, he will gesture to the group to proceed that way. December 15, 2018 11:29PMKurtis Kerner: "A restaurant, a cafe, a library, whatever. This wing looks closed. Don't wanna get caught by maintenance."
December 15, 2018 11:29PMJessica: "I vote library. Naturally quiet."
December 15, 2018 11:30PMLucas: "
I feel terrible. I don't think I'll ever go swimming again."
December 15, 2018 11:30PMGM (GM): ((Lucas, roll willpower))
December 15, 2018 11:32PMDante: "If there's one nearby, sure. I don't care. Not particularly fond of loitering in strange places."
December 15, 2018 11:32PMGM (GM): Dante, well, there is the giant mercedes benz arena, a few blocks away, which is the center of police action, roads blocked off, but there's a karaoke bar right over there, Monster Ronson's Ichiban Karaoke

December 15, 2018 11:33PMJustin: Justin waves his hand in order to evaporate the water covering him and Lucas as they start walking. (Control Water 6 dice.)

December 15, 2018 11:34PMDante: ((its because you didn't tell it to do its thing, buddy))
December 15, 2018 11:34PMJessica: "We're just going to talk. It's just convenient that's all." December 15, 2018 11:34PMGM (GM): The water does nothing.

Water evaporates very quickly and now the epicenter of nice tropical heat is shifting to Justin, and the group overall feels its nice heat.

December 15, 2018 11:49PMGM (GM): Dante, you breach the initial resistance of the mind, losing some of the pushing power, but ultimately breaking through. Alfie Hoffmann is 16, he lived with his uncle, he is small, and believes that Astrid will eventually reject him if they get together due to lack of masculinity. They had some teenage angst and drama, during which they spiraled out of control, and she thought he was afraid of commitment. He blew a date, for which he bought flowers and condoms, and ended up going all heavy metal to get tough, and got genuinely sucked in. Teenage image bullshit. But now he's certain, he's sure. He has the promise ring in his pocket, and with it, a promise to Astrid, that he is ready to move out and start life together. If he could only find her and tell her that she was right and they can make a future!
December 15, 2018 11:49PMEve K.: (( <.<
>.>
>
(( >< ))
December 15, 2018 11:50PMJessica: "Was Astrid at the concert? Did you know anyone there?" December 15, 2018 11:50PM (To Eve K.): you can try again at -1
December 15, 2018 11:50PMEve K.: rolling 7d10>8!
= 3 Successes
December 15, 2018 11:50PMJustin: "Like, she literally wants to make corpse soup while the guy is drowning by finding the drain for the pool and she has the nerve to insult me because I didn't know the soggy white giant was talking about his name."
Justin is complaining at Kurt now.
December 15, 2018 11:51PMLucas: "
only Lucas. I was gonna get crushed by the crowd and he stopped them. He's really huge!" December 15, 2018 11:51PMGM (GM): Yeah you guys are walking to the bar. Kurt, knowing german now temporarily, will arrange us seating. We get a nice private corner. People turn heads as we walk in, as we RUSH a WAVE of HOT AIR
December 15, 2018 11:51PMJessica: "At least I know what goth is."
December 15, 2018 11:51PMDante: Dante's eyes soften again as he ceases searching through the mind. He looks Lucas up and down again, finding it difficult to match the physical presence and mental reading. ((we're just 2hot4them))
December 15, 2018 11:52PMJessica: "Should we show him a mirror? Or would that break his mind? He's describing his friend Lucas as huge so I think he's the original."
"Er, break it more."
December 15, 2018 11:52PMJustin: "So do I, a roaming germanic tribe that raided Rome."
Eve K. rolls her eyes shaking her head at Justin's comment
December 15, 2018 11:53PMLucas: Lucas' shoulders slump and his eyes water a little.
"Can you guys not fight? Aren't you friends?" December 15, 2018 11:53PMJustin: Justin looks at the guy as he talks to him in German. "What's he saying?"
December 15, 2018 11:53PMDante: Dante turns to look at Justin and Jessica. "I have no idea what that would do to him. But taking unnecessary chances is kind of our thing, so.."
He shrugs December 15, 2018 11:54PMJessica: "Well what's our other options?"
December 15, 2018 11:54PMDante: "He's asking you two to stop fighting and wondering if you're actually friends."
December 15, 2018 11:54PMEve K.: "He's asking you two not to fight anymore."
December 15, 2018 11:54PMKurtis Kerner: will adjust the heat to spread more, if Justin seems dry and comfortable, and will move the wave to Lucas to dry him off completely too, after which he'll kill the source and let it release into natural surroundings, which will no doubt make the bar warmer December 15, 2018 11:54PMJustin: "She's not acting much like a friend."
Justin takes a deep breath and puts his hands up in defeat before taking a seat.
December 15, 2018 11:55PMDante: Dante drums his fingers on the table they're seated at and shrugs slightly. "I wouldn't expect either of you two to act like friends, either. But arguing isn't doing any good as well."
December 15, 2018 11:56PM (From Eve K.): got 3 successes btw
December 15, 2018 11:56PMJessica: "I guess we'll try a mirror then." (any napkin dispensers around?)
Eve K. pulls a compact out of her purse
December 15, 2018 11:56PMJessica: ((nice))
December 15, 2018 11:56PMLucas: (it's a bar. I'd imagine they're everywhere behind the bar)
December 15, 2018 11:56PMJessica: "Alfie you have something in your teeth." She points at the compact Eve is getting out.
Eve K. opens the compact and hands it to "Alfie"
December 15, 2018 11:57PMDante: ((Breaking the Psyche 101))
December 15, 2018 11:58PMLucas: Alfie takes it and grins into the mirror before going slack-jawed and sucking in a loud gasp.
December 15, 2018 11:58PM (To Eve K.): Yeah, typing to you now :)
December 15, 2018 11:58PMGM (GM): Okay, so from what you know, to accomplish such a soul splice, the soul being spliced has to be willing and consenting, as it requires intense amount of will. It appears completely self contained. Nobody from the outside did this to him, and his Death signature, his aura, is spiking so hard, he's awakened maybe a mere hours ago, hard to tell. The splice is definitely tied to it. One soul is a young 16 year old boy, one is a 27 year old man, and the third soul is the 27 year old's blood relative. Possibly father or uncle.
That was to Eve
December 15, 2018 11:59PMLucas: "bu. . . Hwa. . .?"
December 16, 2018 12:00AMGM (GM): Willpower roll please
December 16, 2018 12:00AMLucas: rolling 6d10>8!
= 1 Success
December 16, 2018 12:01AMGM (GM): Well clearly, when Lucas gives you his word, he fucking means it. Not only does that guy utterly kick ass, as you now remember him to, but he also has the power to lend you his body, so you can fulfill your promise.
As Alfie, you're pretty stoked. You're Deathrider now!
December 16, 2018 12:02AMEve K.: ((oh my...))
December 16, 2018 12:02AMDante: Dante scratches his cheek and leans back in the seat, his eyes darting from one member of the group to the next, gauging their reactions. December 16, 2018 12:03AMJustin: Justin watches Alfie's reaction at himself, if only as a means of distracting himself from getting angrier at Jessica. December 16, 2018 12:03AMLucas: Tears flow down Lucas' cheeks, and he sort of yells.
"Hell, yeah!" Eve K. appears to be bemused, still seeming to study the man
December 16, 2018 12:04AMJessica: "Are you okay?" December 16, 2018 12:04AMLucas: His voice rattles the walls.
(does Alfie remember dying or anything from the concert? He remembers the arena?)
December 16, 2018 12:04AMJustin: "He seems happier than I thought he would."
December 16, 2018 12:05AMJessica: "Yeah..."
December 16, 2018 12:05AMDante: Dante makes a hand-waving gesture to indicate lowering the volume. In german: "Trying to keep quiet."
December 16, 2018 12:06AMLucas: Lucas smiles, and then frowns. "
I don't know. I'm really happy, but I dunno where Lucas is. He's really my only friend." He reaches up and feels his face
December 16, 2018 12:07AMJessica: "He says he's happy but he doesn't know where Lucas is."
December 16, 2018 12:07AMJustin: "And Lucas is the one who's body this is?"
December 16, 2018 12:07AMJessica: "Yeah, I think so."
December 16, 2018 12:07AMLucas: "
this is really cool, but kinda weird, ya know?" December 16, 2018 12:07AMGM (GM): (As Alfie he remembers Lucas saving him and parting ways with him. The thing is, you're not all Alfie. You're part of Alfie that has unfinished business. You are Alfie's promise.))
December 16, 2018 12:08AMJessica: "How do we...get Lucas out?"
December 16, 2018 12:08AM (To Eve K.): to unweave this, the two soul have to fulfill some conditions.
Eve K. raises a brow. She narrows her eyes at the soul that better fits this body, the 27 year old, trying to figure out how to "call him out" as it were
December 16, 2018 12:09AM (From Eve K.): so Lucas is their anchor?
December 16, 2018 12:09AMLucas: "
I'm feeling a lot better now. I need to go see Astrid"
December 16, 2018 12:09AMJessica: "He says he needs to go see Astrid."
December 16, 2018 12:09AMEve K.: "Yes he probably does... where does she live?"
December 16, 2018 12:10AMDante: Dante shakes his head a bit. "I could try to contact one of the other minds, maybe. Hmm.."
December 16, 2018 12:10AMJessica: "I think he mentioned she was a few blocks from here. Is it a good idea?"
December 16, 2018 12:10AM (To Eve K.): He is more than that. You can break an anchor by force. He is their willing host. He pushed himself out so they could finish up their business.
December 16, 2018 12:10AMJustin: "I don't see why not."
Eve K. 's eyes widen suddenly as if something clicked into place.
December 16, 2018 12:11AMEve K.: "I understand now... He... The host... let these other souls posses him so they could finish something... Their unfinished business..."
"That is... wow... "
December 16, 2018 12:11AMJessica: Jessica makes a face somewhere between concern and alarm.
December 16, 2018 12:11AMLucas: "
she lives at Haupbannhoff and Lumenkrantz. But I think it'd be weird if you guys go with me. She already has to deal with seeing Lucas instead of me." December 16, 2018 12:11AMJustin: "Oh... I didn't know you could do that kind of thing with death magic."
December 16, 2018 12:12AMJessica: "He wants to go without us."
December 16, 2018 12:12AMEve K.: "Most people wouldn't.. it's sort of risky"
December 16, 2018 12:12AMDante: Dante looks at Eve like she just spoke in tongues. "Whatever that is sounds way over my head."
December 16, 2018 12:12AMJessica: "I think Lucas might come back and be confused after, so we need to at least wait nearby. Can we wait outside or something?" December 16, 2018 12:13AMLucas: Lucas looks thoughtful for a moment. "
I know you guys saved me, but why do you wanna talk to Lucas? Can't I just go?" December 16, 2018 12:15AMJessica: "We just want to make sure you're safe." December 16, 2018 12:15AMEve K.: "So.. in ghost movies ghosts can possess a body right? Well, this guy -let- those souls possess him. See ghosts are kept from passing on by unfinished business, like an anchor. He is letting them use his body so they can finish that business and pass on."
December 16, 2018 12:15AMDante: Dante takes a moment to process Eve's explanation, then nods. "Thank you, that makes more sense."
December 16, 2018 12:15AMJessica: "So if we let him go talk to Astrid we either get the other shard next or we get Lucas. I'm trying to talk him into letting us tag along."
December 16, 2018 12:16AMKurtis Kerner: "Alfie, was it? Ask him if the names Hans, Mladen, Peter, or Slabod mean anything to him? We can't let him out of sight if he's related to this terrorist Cube business."
"Speaking of that, I think we should phone in Leopold."
"This just got a lot weirder."
December 16, 2018 12:17AMLucas: "
I know a guy named Hans from school. There's a Peter in my class too." December 16, 2018 12:17AMKurtis Kerner: is mainly addressing Eve, Dante, and Justin with that question December 16, 2018 12:17AMJessica: "Not people your age. Older." Jessica gives physical descriptions.
December 16, 2018 12:18AMLucas: Lucas shakes his head. "
No one like that."
December 16, 2018 12:18AMJessica: "He says no."
"What about a Slabod or an Adrian?"
December 16, 2018 12:20AMDante: "We should certainly report in to Leopold, yes. As to what to do about our friend here, is this even our business to handle? Are we saving the world or starting an awakened day care?"
Dante immediately grimaces at the last words he speaks, but makes no correction.
December 16, 2018 12:22AMLucas: "
I don't know them either." December 16, 2018 12:22AMKurtis Kerner: gives Dante a look, pursing his lips "You're telling me. Well. If we suck Cubic's dick real good and get him maximum usefulness, he might pop us right on top of our objective. I mean, I didn't have a plan how to tackle Diana either, I mean, fuck, I can't figure out how to throw a shoe without getting arrested lately."
dials on his cell as others talk
December 16, 2018 12:22AMLucas: Lucas stands up .
"I'd really like to go."
December 16, 2018 12:23AMJessica: "I'm not...trying to make this about me, but...in Arcadia I was told I had a really strong connection to Fate, and then I meet like all the American mages in Berlin in one day. There's just too many coincidences--Alfie's leaving."
December 16, 2018 12:23AMKurtis Kerner: is on the phone but now his eyes are tracking the goth mime "Wait a sec... whuh, what, where's he going?"
December 16, 2018 12:24AMJustin: ((haha goth mime))
December 16, 2018 12:24AMJessica: "He said she was a couple blocks away. If you guys want to call Mr. Cubic I can follow him and come back or something."
December 16, 2018 12:25AMKurtis Kerner: waves the other hand frantically to not let this guy go alone and whispers "We follow this guy. It's an awakened Moros being controlled by another mind? We can't let that loose!"
December 16, 2018 12:25AMLucas: As he walks towards the door, he stops at the bar and pulls out a few American dollars from Lucas' wallet and slams them on the bar. He lowers his voice and harshly asks for a whiskey.
December 16, 2018 12:25AMDante: Dante smirks a bit at Kurtis' words, then turns. "Hate to admit it, but it would be pretty shitty to just let him go off on his own. Too much danger."
December 16, 2018 12:26AMLucas: "
a shot of whiskey." His voice rattles the bottles behind the bar.
December 16, 2018 12:26AMJessica: Jessica blinks at the sudden change.
December 16, 2018 12:27AMDante: "Think he might be bluffing the bartender..."
Dante smirks. December 16, 2018 12:27AMEve K.: "We should follow him yes. Could be very dangerous..."
December 16, 2018 12:27AMKurtis Kerner: "Hello? Yeah. Yes. Hi, it's us. Got it. Yeah, soooo... there's been some development. Yes. No. No, no signs of a bomb. We did. Even better. We got him bottled up. Along with your big man. Yeah. And there was another attack site. The Mercedes Benz arena. Yes. Yes.... Huh? What do you mean?"
December 16, 2018 12:28AMGM (GM): Jessica, roll Resolve+Gnosis
December 16, 2018 12:28AMDante: Lowering his voice, Dante speaks. "I saw in his mind that he made some kind of promise to the Astrid he was talking about. He had a promise ring to give her, I think. Where it plays out after that, I don't know."
December 16, 2018 12:28AMJessica: rolling 4d10>8!
= 2 Successes
December 16, 2018 12:29AMLucas: (Also, he's not a goth mime. Hes a mime building.
December 16, 2018 12:29AMDante: ((I'd love to see his elevator mimicry))
December 16, 2018 12:29AMGM (GM): Jessica, you feel like you got hit with a hammer on the back of the head so hard that your knees weaken and swoop you off your feet.
December 16, 2018 12:30AMLucas: (aren't the rest of you still sitting?)
December 16, 2018 12:30AMJessica: Jessica falls on her knees and throws her arms out like she's trying to catch herself but she's already on the floor.
December 16, 2018 12:30AMDante: ((Dante was still sitting.))
December 16, 2018 12:30AMJessica: ((I think we were following))
((okay well jessica got up i guess and immediately fell the fuck back down))
December 16, 2018 12:30AMDante: ((Would have followed if everyone else had. But Lucas was still at the bar.))
December 16, 2018 12:31AMGM (GM): ((Yeah up to you if you were sitting or standing. If you were sitting, you lose consciousness for a second))
((But only Jessica))
December 16, 2018 12:31AMJessica: "Oh fuck."
((Does it feel like the "spring?")
December 16, 2018 12:31AMLucas: (does Alfie get his drink?)
December 16, 2018 12:32AMGM (GM): Hair on your neck and your back stand. Your tattoo burns hard. You felt something massive and strong happen in the area. And that impeccable sense of time you have, knowing exactly what time it is? It
wiggled December 16, 2018 12:32AMDante: Dante looks sharply to Jessica, concern showing in his face. "What happened? An attack?"
He looks about the room rapidly. December 16, 2018 12:33AMJessica: "Ow!" She slaps a hand over her eye, where her tattoo is.
December 16, 2018 12:33AMKurtis Kerner: At the same time, Kurtis stumbles and leans on the bar December 16, 2018 12:33AMBartender: "Here you go!" - Alfie gets his drink.
Eve K. frowns looking between Jessica and Kurtis, she pulls up prime sight
December 16, 2018 12:34AMJessica: "Fuck, I don't know." Her eyes are tight shut against the vertigo and she still has her other hand out like she's trying to balance even though she's on her knees.
"Something big happened."
December 16, 2018 12:34AMEve K.: rolling 10d10>8!
= 2 Successes
December 16, 2018 12:34AMJessica: "I don't even know what I mean so don't ask."
December 16, 2018 12:35AMKurtis Kerner: seeks out with his eyes if anyone else felt it, focuses on Jessica
"You. You felt that, right? What was that? That was time, right?"
December 16, 2018 12:35AMDante: Dante moves from his seat and squats down, putting his hand under Jessica's in case she needs the aid. December 16, 2018 12:35AMKurtis Kerner: involuntarily thinks of Tristin, when they were freeing Dante December 16, 2018 12:35AMLucas: Lucas slams the shot and makes a sour face before setting the cup upside down on the bar. "Danke."
December 16, 2018 12:35AMJessica: "Yeah, it was Time. It...wiggled?"
December 16, 2018 12:35AMLucas: He turns and in about 4 steps he's out the door.
December 16, 2018 12:35AMKurtis Kerner: returns to the phone conversation "Sorry, sorry, Mister Cubic, something just.... what? How's that?"
Eve K. studies Jessica and Kurtis with Prime trying to figure out what they might have felt
December 16, 2018 12:36AMKurtis Kerner: "Hold on a minute."
looks to his fellows, then look to the phone December 16, 2018 12:36AMGM (GM): roll Supernal Vision, Eve
December 16, 2018 12:37AMEve K.: ...((I did. Got 2 successes))
December 16, 2018 12:37AMJessica: Jessica accepts Dante's assistance to stand again, although she uses a chair for support and keeps a hand over her eyes. It's not clutching anymore though.
*eye
December 16, 2018 12:37AMGM (GM): ((damn thing going so fast))
December 16, 2018 12:38AMLucas: ((we're on a roll))
December 16, 2018 12:38AMDante: Dante nods a moment and then looks to the door and to Alfie stepping out. He moves briskly to the exit so as to keep him in sight. December 16, 2018 12:38AMGM (GM): Eve, as you tune in to Prime, you feel it too, a massive Time resonance that makes your toes curl. Huge distortion that covered the last hour.
But the effect wasn't around us, nor excluding us, we were in it.
December 16, 2018 12:38AMLucas: (does AlfLucVor feel anything?
December 16, 2018 12:39AMGM (GM): (in terms of alcohol? all up to Lucas's alcohol resistance. in terms of magic, nope)
December 16, 2018 12:40AM (From Eve K.): not sure what that means that the effect wasn't "around us, nor excluding us, we were in it" ?
December 16, 2018 12:40AMLucas: (Trevalfas)
December 16, 2018 12:40AMJessica: "We should...we should follow Alfie?"
December 16, 2018 12:40AM (To Eve K.): our timeline was affected, the passage of time we are in
December 16, 2018 12:40AMEve K.: "Yes"
December 16, 2018 12:41AMDante: From the doorway, "Now or never."
December 16, 2018 12:41AMKurtis Kerner: "What the... what's going on. Mr Cubic? What do you mean you'll take care of it? Already took care of it? Okay. You're welcome?"
looks at the phone
December 16, 2018 12:41AMLucas: Lucas whistles as he strolls happily towards Astrid.
December 16, 2018 12:41AMKurtis Kerner: follows the last person in the group tries to catch up
December 16, 2018 12:41AMJessica: Headed out with Dante Eve K. stands up slowly, following after "Alfie" overhearing Kurtis' comment on the phone she nods with understanding
December 16, 2018 12:42AMKurtis Kerner: "Guys? Guys. Cubic hung up. I caught him up, and he said thank you and not to worry, and that he took care of it."
December 16, 2018 12:42AMEve K.: "Mr Cubic had his people change our timeline... wonder what he had changed.."
December 16, 2018 12:43AMJustin: "What were you talking about just before that?"
December 16, 2018 12:43AMDante: Dante will pursue mime-building at moderate distance, making efforts to always keep him in visual range. December 16, 2018 12:43AMKurtis Kerner: "I told him we investigated the card game affair, found Mladen and packed him up, and found Hans, and we were going to investigate the second attack site, the rock concert. What the fuuuuuck is even going on."
December 16, 2018 12:44AMGM (GM): Alfie, you soon reach the neighborhood.
Is the group trying to shadow Alfie subtly so that he doesnt see us?
December 16, 2018 12:45AMDante: ((I don't see the need for stealth. Just distance. If anyone disagrees speak up.))
December 16, 2018 12:45AMEve K.: Yes
...Yes to GM not to Dante
December 16, 2018 12:46AMDante: ((I was very confused.))
December 16, 2018 12:46AMJessica: ((I already mentioned following to him and he disagreed but didn't seem upset about it, so I don't think we need stealth either))
December 16, 2018 12:46AMEve K.: but also yes to dante, distance would be fine
December 16, 2018 12:46AMDante: ((Ye. Just keep in sensory range as per p.114))
December 16, 2018 12:46AMJessica: "Is there a way to know what changed?"
December 16, 2018 12:46AMGM (GM): Ok, basically, up to Alfie if he wants to try to notice us or protest, just trying to be fair. If he wants to fuck off, he'll have to contest noticing us. Carrying on.
December 16, 2018 12:47AMEve K.: "Only for someone who has Time magic.."
"You might be able to tell"
December 16, 2018 12:47AMJessica: "I mean I have Time magic but..." Jessica tries opening her Mage senses.
December 16, 2018 12:47AMDante: Dante listens to the group as they collectively follow like a totally not suspicious group of random people trundling through a random neighborhood. December 16, 2018 12:48AMJessica: ((gnosis + time?))
December 16, 2018 12:48AMGM (GM): yupp
December 16, 2018 12:48AMJessica: rolling 7d10>8!
= 7 Successes
((wow. used willpower))
December 16, 2018 12:48AMLucas: Lucas reaches Astrid's door and hesitates. His knuckles hover over the door. "
What am I going to tell her? Hi Astrid, sorry I can't come back to see you, I borrowed my friend's body to give you this ring?" He mutters under his breath.
December 16, 2018 12:48AMDante: ((thats alotta fuckin' 10s))
December 16, 2018 12:50AMLucas: ((shit. You know everything about time that has ever happened or will happen. All at once.))
December 16, 2018 12:50AMJessica: ((trying to find where i mark it on my sheet))
((is it willpower lost?))
December 16, 2018 12:50AMDante: ((WP is about 1/3rd the way down. I usually just mark Willpower Now.))
((I assume Lost is more like you got debuffed or w/e))
December 16, 2018 12:51AMJessica: ((thanks))
December 16, 2018 12:51AMEve K.: ((Right... you just used a temp willpower point))
((you didn't actually lose any))
December 16, 2018 12:52AMLucas: Lucas puts his hand in his pocket and fondles the ring.
I can do this he thinks. He knocks.
December 16, 2018 12:53AMDante: Dante will approach Lucas, still keeping distance. He will try to - do nothing now because he is too late. Dante watches on, then looks back to the group. "This will not go well."
December 16, 2018 12:54AMGM (GM): Jessica, you open your mind, and the passing moments in time unfold their spectrum in multiple layers before you.
On one layer, you can sense the natural order of passage of time, the normally occurring resonance through the way in which it “snags” things, people and events moving through the time stream, by the
magnitude of its presence (in much the
same way as scientists determine the
presence of a black hole by witnessing
the phenomena around it).
December 16, 2018 12:54AMGM (GM): On the second layer, you can also tell perfect time to the smallest unit, everywhere around us, discerning the passage of instants with such clarity that your sense is more precise than even the most carefully maintained clock.
On the third, the deepest layer, you can sense the unnatural, or supernatural distortions of time, what you could call temporal phenomena. The equivalent of say, Kurtis moving things up instead of gravity dropping them down, or Justin turning water into something else. You can tell when time is passing unnaturally, or wiggling. And the now, this moment in time, is finishing a wiggle wave, like a string that was played on a guitar. A temporal phenomennon has just occured, and now its wave is settling.
December 16, 2018 12:54AMLucas: (Quick. Scan for what Alfie looks like from his brain, and just make everyone think that's what he looks like)
December 16, 2018 12:55AMDante: ((I was going to move to that naturally, but I'm not going to metagame it lol))
December 16, 2018 12:55AMGM (GM): ((Jessica, you have unlocked 2 rotes for purchase: Temporal Eddies and Temporal Wrinkles))
December 16, 2018 12:56AMJessica: "The Temporal manipulation is sort of settling but I'm not sure what happened exactly."
December 16, 2018 12:57AMLucas: (I figured you were probably gonna go there, but it's probably gonna confuse Alfie who thinks he looks like Lucas.)
December 16, 2018 12:57AMDante: ((Right.))
December 16, 2018 12:58AMLucas: (Hi Astrid. I suddenly grew 4 feet since the last time you saw me, and aged significantly. Also, I'm now American.)
December 16, 2018 12:58AMAstrid's Mom: opens the door December 16, 2018 12:58AMDante: ((is she hot))
December 16, 2018 12:58AMJessica: ((and we found our episode title))
December 16, 2018 12:59AMLucas: (Astrid's mom has got it goin on.)
December 16, 2018 12:59AMJessica: (("Is she hot?"))
December 16, 2018 12:59AMDante: ((Astrid's Mom has got it goin' on, hell yea))
December 16, 2018 12:59AMSophie: "Hello." She is HAWT.
December 16, 2018 12:59AMJessica: ((noice))
December 16, 2018 12:59AMLucas: (I like the way you think, Eric XD)
December 16, 2018 12:59AMDante: ((lul))
December 16, 2018 1:01AMLucas: Lucas stutters for a moment and puts his head down unsure of himself. "
Hello, Mrs. Hessing. Can I talk to Astrid, please?" December 16, 2018 1:01AMJessica: ((who the fuck are you?))
December 16, 2018 1:01AMKurtis Kerner: Will be last to approach, probably standing outside the apartment, still mulling all this over and frantically thinking what they got into. December 16, 2018 1:01AMJessica: ((get out of my swamp))
December 16, 2018 1:02AMLucas: ((I didn't think this through!))
((get out of my ouse!))
December 16, 2018 1:02AMDante: ((a lumbering, disheveled creeper wants to talk to your teenage daughter, Sophie. Is that ok?))
December 16, 2018 1:02AMSophie: e
gives you that surprised look, considering your smudged make up*
December 16, 2018 1:02AMGM (GM): "Uh... do I know you?"
December 16, 2018 1:02AMJessica: ((he's blow-dried. He's not diseveled anymore))
December 16, 2018 1:03AMDante: ((oh right.))
December 16, 2018 1:03AMJessica: ((just creepy))
December 16, 2018 1:03AMGM (GM): ((but he didnt reapply make up, its still smudged))
December 16, 2018 1:03AMLucas: (His hair falls in perfect 70' feathered waves)
December 16, 2018 1:03AMJustin: "Hmm Dante, it looks like he needs backup."
December 16, 2018 1:03AMDante: ((He's got that farrah fawcett hair))
December 16, 2018 1:03AMSophie: has to look up at you, being a small petite very hot lady in her late 30s
December 16, 2018 1:04AMKurtis Kerner: "I'm half afraid we'll need back up any minute now."
December 16, 2018 1:04AMLucas: "
I. . . Uh. . . " He gulps heavily. "*I'm, uh. . .
December 16, 2018 1:05AMJessica: ((what a fish))
December 16, 2018 1:05AMLucas: "*you see. . . I
December 16, 2018 1:05AMSophie: starts looking concerned December 16, 2018 1:05AMGM (GM): the door is gently beginning to clooooooose on you Eve K. whispers to Dante "Can you make her see him as "Alfie" not this body?"
December 16, 2018 1:05AMLucas: "
I'm a . . Friend of alfies." December 16, 2018 1:06AMEve K.: whispering "Or he could say that."
December 16, 2018 1:06AMDante: Dante looks to Justin and speaks in hushed tones. "I don't know even know why we are doing this. We should pull back and approach with a plan if we are going to mess with this situation."
December 16, 2018 1:07AMJustin: "He's gonna get the police called on him and then we'll have to deal with a newly-awakened touched-by-an-angel ghost "goth" mime or whatever in police custody."
December 16, 2018 1:07AMKurtis Kerner: "Can we just bag this big fucker in a jar too and deliver all three to Cubic?"
December 16, 2018 1:08AMJustin: "Kurt, Cubic definitely does not want more mages in his lap."
December 16, 2018 1:08AMDante: "I only half-agree with Kurtis on that. But not enough to act on it. Hang on."
December 16, 2018 1:08AMLucas: "
There was. . . Something happened. . ." Tears flood his eyes. "
Something happened at the concert."
December 16, 2018 1:09AMGM (GM): door throws open again December 16, 2018 1:09AMSophie: "Oh my god, what happened?"
December 16, 2018 1:09AMDante: Dante thinks a moment, then reaches out to Alfie's mind. (Impromptu Telepathy)
rolling 8d10>8!

((I think thats reflexive gnosis+resolve?))
December 16, 2018 1:10AMLucas: (does this affect me or no?)
December 16, 2018 1:11AMEve K.: whispering "This might work out alright... Just.. lets see how it goes."
December 16, 2018 1:11AMDante: ((Its being cast on you.))
((the spell establishes a brief mental connection.))
December 16, 2018 1:11AMLucas: Alfie feels the pain of the knife in his back for an instant before he responds.
December 16, 2018 1:11AMGM (GM): ((Alfie can resist with Resolve + Gnosis))
Alfie, something is trying to establish a connection with your.... mind.
December 16, 2018 1:12AMDante: ((I mean its a reflexive roll unless he has deliberate reason to not resist. Or thats how I read it))
December 16, 2018 1:13AMGM (GM): ((roll Resolve + Gnosis))
((yeah it reads oddly. Maybe it's for persuasion only or for sharing or reading something from the person. Can't imagine why regular talking would be resisted, unless i guess someone doesnt want to be talked to, but yeah, it says reflexive straight up))
((so yeah he gets to roll it))
December 16, 2018 1:14AMLucas: rolling 4d10>8! *"Alfie, he. . . *" His face twists into abject sadness. "*He didn't. . .*"

December 16, 2018 1:15AMDante: ((Good luck!))
December 16, 2018 1:15AMGM (GM): Dante, it's busy signal.
December 16, 2018 1:15AMLucas: (lol that's my roll guys)
December 16, 2018 1:15AMDante: Dante grimaces and looks on, then nods to Eve's words. December 16, 2018 1:16AMLucas: (didn't mean for the dialogue to get stuck in there. I really didn't intend to resist that. He just told me to roll.)
December 16, 2018 1:16AMSophie: "Oh, that boy, that stupid boy. He and his dark rock concerts or whatever you people call it! Is he okay?"
December 16, 2018 1:17AMLucas: Lucas lowers his eyes and turns his head away and just shakes his head solemnly.
December 16, 2018 1:17AM (From Dante): ((I think its because its technically an intrusion of the mind. Situationally, if a stranger is unaware that its about to happen, it would make more sense for a reflexive roll imo. Alfie has no reason to deliberately allow unknown magic to enter him atm))
December 16, 2018 1:17AMGM (GM): ((Well see, because you're borrowing a mage's body, you have innate resistance to telepathy unless you specifically allow it and invite it))
((Technically it's an intrusion into your mind))
December 16, 2018 1:18AMLucas: "
there was some kind of terrorist attack. Alfie was. . . He. . . He didn't make it." December 16, 2018 1:18AMSophie: covers her mouth with a hand with horror.
December 16, 2018 1:20AMLucas: Alfie was trying hard not to crush the ring in his hand.
"He gave me something for Astrid. H. . . I promised him I'd get it to her."
December 16, 2018 1:20AMSophie: "I knew it was bad news! Poor boy. Of course he went to that stupid concert. Imagine if he dragged Astrid to it too! Please, leave our girl out of that life, she doesn't need to get involved."
"She's not home! Please, leave."
December 16, 2018 1:22AMEve K.: ((what time of day is it?))
December 16, 2018 1:22AMDante: ((I was just wondering that))
December 16, 2018 1:22AMGM (GM): ((oh god, who isnt?))
December 16, 2018 1:22AMJessica: ((ME))
((I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TIME IT IS))
December 16, 2018 1:22AMGM (GM): ((Let's see, we arrived on train at 9 am, had hotel ghost shenanigans, then the ghost summons....
((then the taxi ride
December 16, 2018 1:22AMDante: ((NOT OUT OF CHARACTER YOU DONT))
December 16, 2018 1:23AMJessica: ((my one weakness!))
December 16, 2018 1:23AMDante: ((ooc, its a tricksy thing))
December 16, 2018 1:23AMLucas: (I'd say it's just in time for Astrid to pop around the corner on her way home from school.)
December 16, 2018 1:23AMGM (GM): Okay, it's 3:15 pm
December 16, 2018 1:23AMEve K.: ((hahaha Lucas))
December 16, 2018 1:23AMJessica: ((let's all camp outside like creeps))
December 16, 2018 1:24AMDante: ((Sounds good to me. I imagine we're all huddled around the corner of a fence nearby, heads all popping out and staring.))
December 16, 2018 1:25AMKurtis Kerner: lights up a cigarette nervously December 16, 2018 1:25AMLucas: (y'all are just standing nervously in the middle of the road.)
December 16, 2018 1:25AMEve K.: ((hanging at a bus stop))
December 16, 2018 1:25AMJessica: ((playing chicken with cars))
December 16, 2018 1:25AMGM (GM): ((it's an apartment neighborhood, they're like, around the building, yeah
December 16, 2018 1:26AMLucas: ((plays the chicken dance))
December 16, 2018 1:26AMSophie: starts to close the door again. "I will let her know! Poor boy... stupid, stupid boy, how terrible! My god, how terrible!"
December 16, 2018 1:27AMGM (GM): Justin, there's a dog in here somewhere, one of these apartments surely has a mutt hiding.
December 16, 2018 1:27AMEve K.: ((lololol))
December 16, 2018 1:28AMLucas: Lucas turned and jumped the steps like he always used to when he hung out with Astrid and sprinted towards the old playground they used to hang out at after school.
"Bye Mrs. Hessing!"
December 16, 2018 1:28AMGM (GM): The door is almost closed. "Mom, who was it?" "Nobody, honey, go back to homework."
December 16, 2018 1:29AMEve K.: ((oh snap))
December 16, 2018 1:29AMJessica: "I got this."
December 16, 2018 1:29AMLucas: Mid leap, he hears Astrid's voice and he tumbles hard
December 16, 2018 1:29AMJessica: ((any windows open?))
December 16, 2018 1:29AMGM (GM): ((in the building?
December 16, 2018 1:30AMJessica: ((specifically that lead to--actually fuck it, rolling luck to find one
rolling 4d10>8!

((wow))
December 16, 2018 1:30AMGM (GM): You're gonna be trying windows?
Or just visually?
December 16, 2018 1:31AMJessica: that was reading the outmost eddies to find an open window into the apartment. I'm sending Heike in
December 16, 2018 1:31AMGM (GM): There's one open on the 2nd floor, one story above Astrid's apt.
Wide open
December 16, 2018 1:31AMDante: Dante looks to Jessica as she speaks. "Got ..what?"
December 16, 2018 1:32AMJessica: "I'm gonna get Astrid to come out. I hope she's young enough to see fairies."
December 16, 2018 1:33AMLucas: Lucas stands after rolling hard on the cobblestones and dusts off his jacket.
December 16, 2018 1:33AMGM (GM): There is some loud talking in the apartment, Astrid and her mom arguing.
December 16, 2018 1:33AMJessica: ((I'm gonna try to use Space to see from Heike's pov and sort of use her like a drone))
December 16, 2018 1:33AMDante: Dante nods, pretending that makes sense to him. Must be some Acanthus thing he hasn't learned about yet. December 16, 2018 1:33AMJessica: ((see if I can get her attention))
December 16, 2018 1:34AMLucas: "Scheiße that hurt. No wonder people only do that in movies." December 16, 2018 1:34AMJessica: Burning another willpower
rolling 6d10>8!
= 1 Success
December 16, 2018 1:35AMDante: Dante comes out of cover to gesture to Alfielucaswhatevermimebuilding, waving him over to their location. December 16, 2018 1:35AMLucas: Lucas pauses halfway up the steps, reluctant to interrupt the arguing.
December 16, 2018 1:36AMJessica: ((angle vision is the name of the rote))
December 16, 2018 1:36AMLucas: He sees Dante waving and leans toward him but doesn't move yet. He's being pulled in too many directions.
December 16, 2018 1:36AMJessica: ((I dunno if i can anchor it to my fairy)
December 16, 2018 1:37AMGM (GM): ((which book is it in? I got Finder spell in core book, that would do the trick.
Guardians of the veil
December 16, 2018 1:38AMLucas: Lucas doesn't want to go, but he decides it might be better to wait a little before tying again and heads over to Dante.
December 16, 2018 1:38AMJessica: ((ah yeah finder makes more sense))
December 16, 2018 1:38AMLucas: "she never really liked me. Especially when I got into metal."
December 16, 2018 1:39AMGM (GM): Okay, you have a grasp on the Spacial tracking, now you have to summon your tattoo fairy.
Manipulation + Occult + Fate
December 16, 2018 1:40AMDante: Dante reaches out to pull him around the corner, out of view of the apartment. In German: "No plan? We can fix it, maybe."
December 16, 2018 1:40AMGM (GM): Also, the fairy will be ready to bless something with exceptional luck, if you got a target in mind.
December 16, 2018 1:40AMJessica: rolling 4d10>8!
= 0 Successes
"Fuck."
December 16, 2018 1:40AMGM (GM): The tattoo tingles, but then only replaces with a headache in the temple. However, your tracking spell is still within your grasp and you can throw it on any item in your sight.
December 16, 2018 1:41AMLucas: (burn an edge point!)
December 16, 2018 1:41AMJessica: "I fucked up. Fairy is a no-go. Anyone have another idea?"
December 16, 2018 1:41AMGM (GM): The door flies open again, Astrid peaking out this time, her mother rolling her eyes.
Lucas is already gone.
"Who was it?!"
December 16, 2018 1:42AMKurtis Kerner: raises his hand "Yeah, I got an idea."
December 16, 2018 1:42AMDante: Dante turns to Kurtis. "Open to suggestions."
December 16, 2018 1:42AMLucas: "shes right there! I can get her attention!" December 16, 2018 1:43AMKurtis Kerner: "Hey! Frolein! Are you Astrid?!"
December 16, 2018 1:43AMDante: "Looks like she's come out. He needs to go now or ... oh."
December 16, 2018 1:44AMKurtis Kerner: "Go do your thing, buddy hulk man."
"Can someone just tell him."
December 16, 2018 1:44AMDante: "Mach schnell."
December 16, 2018 1:44AMAstrid: "What's happening? Who are you?"
December 16, 2018 1:45AMDante: Dante nudges Alfie. ((add another tally to the rumored five doing things as absurdly as possible))
December 16, 2018 1:46AMGM (GM): Astrid is a tiny girl, probably no more than 17 of age, she is every bit of beautiful her mother is, if not a little too scrawny.
December 16, 2018 1:46AMLucas: (Had to piss. Sorry. I'm back)
Lucas steps out toward her.
December 16, 2018 1:47AMAstrid: is tiny in comparison to Lucas's body
December 16, 2018 1:48AMLucas: "
hey, Astrid." He says famiarly, then he realizes she doesn't recognize him and he hesitates. "
Stupid, Alfie. Stupid." He mutters.
December 16, 2018 1:49AMAstrid: "Hey. You're one of Alfie's friend? Sorry about mom. I know when she's lying. What's going on?"
December 16, 2018 1:49AMGM (GM): The girl is calm surprisingly.
December 16, 2018 1:49AMLucas: ."
I'm a friend of Alfie's. He. . . wanted me to give you something." December 16, 2018 1:50AMGM (GM): Roll willpower, Lucas
whatever you didnt spend

December 16, 2018 1:51AMLucas: (I haven't spent any)

((damn))
December 16, 2018 1:52AMGM (GM): You are the last incarnation of Alfie Hoffman on this earth. You've never seen Astrid like this, from above, from inside a frame of a mighty man, she is small, vulnerable, beautiful, and you'll be damned if you dont give her your last goodbye and rush for a hug and tell her it's you! You'll never see her again. Are you gonna just waste this final opportunity to talk to her one last time?!
You fucking COWARD
December 16, 2018 1:53AMJessica: (( D: ))
December 16, 2018 1:53AMGM (GM): You were never worth her
Unless you DO IT NOW
December 16, 2018 1:54AMAstrid: "Oh? Pffft. What's that? Last time we saw each other, he's had it all figured out and decided to distance."
December 16, 2018 1:55AMLucas: "Astrid!" He screams. As he drops to his knees right in front of her. "
it's me, Alfie. I'm sorry I didn't show up at the movie. I was scared I wasn't good enough. That I wasn't manly enough." December 16, 2018 1:56AMJessica: ((oh god))
December 16, 2018 1:56AMAstrid: gasps in utter terror and screams, as her mom rushes to the door.
December 16, 2018 1:56AMDante: Dante grits his teeth and looks on. "Not good.."
December 16, 2018 1:57AMKurtis Kerner: "Okay, oh god. Somebody do something before I do."
December 16, 2018 1:57AMLucas: He gently grabs her by the shoulders.
"I died at the concert, Astrid." His tears are running heavily down his cheeks.
December 16, 2018 1:57AMSophie: "You leave her alone, I'm calling the..."
December 16, 2018 1:57AMGM (GM): "Shut up mom, hold on, shut up!"
Eve K. shakes her head, and looks at Dante
December 16, 2018 1:58AMLucas: "*please believe me, Astrid. Ask me anything. Anything only I would know!"
December 16, 2018 1:58AMAstrid: "What the fuuuuck are you talking about, who the fuck are you and what did you do with Alfred?!"
"Ask anything? Anything, you dickhead? Why are you 9 feet tall and giant?!"
December 16, 2018 1:58AMJessica: ((poor Dante, always cleaning up our messes))
December 16, 2018 1:58AMAstrid: "How about that?!"
December 16, 2018 1:58AMDante: Dante swirls his left wrist and curls his fingers into his palm, closing his eyes as he exerts his will onto Astrid and hotmom (Telepathic Control rote)

December 16, 2018 2:00AMLucas: ((this has gone wildly out of control))

December 16, 2018 2:01AMGM (GM): Sophie frowns and walks back inside.
December 16, 2018 2:01AMEve K.: ((incredibly so))
December 16, 2018 2:01AMAstrid: "What on earth are you talking about, who are you?!"
December 16, 2018 2:01AMLucas: ((I really wasn't expecting any of this, so I'm just rolling with it.))

December 16, 2018 2:04AMGM (GM): In such an elevated state of mind, plus being a still mostly child, this is an interesting and volatile mind to subdue and deconstruct, Dante. You feel you got a grasp on shuffling a basic, trivial memory.
December 16, 2018 2:04AMLucas: "
Astrid. It's me. I promise, I'm Alfred Hoffman. We've been going to school together for 6 years now. We always at breakfast together. We always made fun of Mr. Schwartz because of his pickled cabbage farts!"

December 16, 2018 2:08AMAstrid: "Okay, okay, I get it. He told you all about this. Alfie was always a funny guy, that's why I love him, but I gotta give it to him, this one's pretty elaborate. He did something like that before."

December 16, 2018 2:10AMLucas: He reaches in his pocket and pulls out the ring and holds it out to Astrid.
December 16, 2018 2:10AMGM (GM): ((Also, heartless))
December 16, 2018 2:11AMDante: ((If you want me to roll wisdom I will. Dante was just trying to deescalate a wildly spiraling situation))
December 16, 2018 2:11AMAstrid: "Aaaaw really? It's beautiful! He got it for me??? Well why didn't the fool show up himself? Tell him to come over for dinner tonight. That little weasel."
December 16, 2018 2:12AMLucas: "Astrid. . . Alfie. . . He really is. . ."
December 16, 2018 2:13AMDante: ((SOON.))
December 16, 2018 2:13AMsoon: as Astrid takes the ring, the words form themselves in your mind, Alfie
December 16, 2018 2:13AMGM (GM): wow
As soon as*
December 16, 2018 2:13AMJessica: XD
December 16, 2018 2:14AMGM (GM): Lucas, your promise was to tell her that Alfie loves her
December 16, 2018 2:14AMLucas: (soon)
"Alfie's last words were that he loves you."
"He made me promise to find you. No matter what."
December 16, 2018 2:16AM (From Dante): ((you trynna tell me Astrid was about to awaken from a crazy man shaking her and claiming to be her dead ex?))
December 16, 2018 2:16AM (To Dante): ((No, but he was about to tell her that body swapping exists, and necromancy is real etc etc etc))
December 16, 2018 2:17AMDante: ((yea, I aint letting that get out. Dante's no veil, but he sure as hell doesn't want that headache to spread.))
December 16, 2018 2:17AMAstrid: "Hah. Well. Thanks. Tell him I just got ran over by a car, and my last words, as I lay here bleeding out of my face and out of my heart, are these: come over to dinner, you little coward, and say it to me myself, and not send your big buddy to do it for you."
December 16, 2018 2:18AMGM (GM): The girl angrily pockets the ring and walks inside, slamming the door shut. Fortunately for Lucas, the promise did not include arrangement of a happy ending.
December 16, 2018 2:19AMDante: ((yaaaaaaaaaay, we won guys))
December 16, 2018 2:19AMGM (GM): Eve and Dante, you observe....
Dante observes a mental equivalent of a 3/3 fraction turning into a 2/2
December 16, 2018 2:19AMLucas: ((I win?))
December 16, 2018 2:19AMGM (GM): Eve observes one soul disappearing.
Eve K. smiles broadly. Very uncharacteristically at that.
December 16, 2018 2:20AMEve K.: "Amazing. He did it."
December 16, 2018 2:20AMGM (GM): Alfie, you feel kinds shitty about this, idly fingering the cloth in your pocket where the ring was.... which reflexively makes you put both your hands in pockets, which is when your fingers come upon the lead chisel. Its contact shocks you, and reminds you of something Lucas like.
December 16, 2018 2:20AMLucas: (I was hoping for a pottery wheel moment or something)
December 16, 2018 2:20AMDante: Dante's gaze is fixed on Lucas, but he nods at Eve's words slowly. "I.. guess so? One mind fragment is gone."
December 16, 2018 2:20AMJessica: Jessica looks relieved.
December 16, 2018 2:21AMGM (GM): You are now Lucas, but you feel that a pressing moment is coming as a lingering promise exists to your father.
You remember everything. You're standing in the middle of an apartment complex, with these people around you.
December 16, 2018 2:22AMLucas: Lucas' thick Alabama drawl is back in plain American English.
"don't think I ain't never had no weirder conversation than that."
December 16, 2018 2:23AMKurtis Kerner: gets ready to draw the guns. Is the real guy dangerous? December 16, 2018 2:23AMJessica: Blinks
Was not ready for that accent
December 16, 2018 2:23AMKurtis Kerner: "Are you american?"
"I mean. Obviously..."
Eve K. eyes widen, she looks up at the man "You... were able to follow all of that? While "Alfie" was in control? Fascinating.. ""
December 16, 2018 2:24AMLucas: "Hell, yeah, cowboy. Born and fuckin bred."
December 16, 2018 2:24AMDante: Dante struggles to understand the deeply accented slang. He stands with his weight on his right foot, one arm dangling freely and the other with a hand in his pants pocket. December 16, 2018 2:25AMLucas: "I mean, I don't really speak German and all that, but I could kinda, you know, feel what Alfie was sayin.
(does Lucas remember everything from the tower?)
December 16, 2018 2:25AMJessica: "Wow."
December 16, 2018 2:25AMKurtis Kerner: (Yes)
"Well now I've seen everything. Why the fuck is an alabama boy a goth at a german rock concert?"
December 16, 2018 2:26AMEve K.: "We...should talk about this someplace else. Before the police are call hm?"
December 16, 2018 2:26AMJessica: "I'm telling you the coincidences are too big."
"Back to the bar I guess?"
December 16, 2018 2:27AMLucas: "That, my friend is a long story, but definitely an interesting one. You ever been to Stygia?"
December 16, 2018 2:27AMKurtis Kerner: nods to Jessica and walks towards the bar December 16, 2018 2:27AMDante: Dante nods once at Eve. "The mother will be realizing very soon that she did, in fact, not leave the oven on. Let's go."
December 16, 2018 2:27AMKurtis Kerner: "No. No, I definitely have not."
December 16, 2018 2:27AMDante: *Dante follows the group to the karaoke bar.
December 16, 2018 2:28AMEve K.: Smiles "I have indeed."
December 16, 2018 2:28AMLucas: "anyone got some makeup remover? I gotta get this stuff of my face."
Eve K. reaches into her purse and hands him some makeup remover wipes
December 16, 2018 2:28AMKurtis Kerner: "You just now get to that realization?"
December 16, 2018 2:28AMLucas: Lucas looks at Eve. "That ol' knight hangin out out front if the tower when you went through there?"
Eve K. looks at "not Alfie" "I did not meet a Knight. I met a ferryman, and the reaper."
December 16, 2018 2:30AMKurtis Kerner: "So you're Lucas?"
Eve K. follows to the karaoke bar
December 16, 2018 2:30AMJessica: Jessica crosses her arms, a little jealous that Eve has someone to reminisce with about her awakening plane, but doesn't comment.
December 16, 2018 2:30AMLucas: Lucas takes the wipes and makes quick work of the face paint revealing smooth skin and a few days of thick stubble.
"Yeah. I'm Luke Turner. But you guys can call me Brick if yontu. Everyone else does.
Eve K. looks him up and down smirking "Can't imagine why..."
December 16, 2018 2:32AMKurtis Kerner: "Luke Skywalker is more fitting. How did you fly across the sky from the arena to the pool? You broke the ceiling."
December 16, 2018 2:32AMLucas: (I remember that now, right?)
December 16, 2018 2:32AMKurtis Kerner: (yup)
December 16, 2018 2:32AMLucas: (so how'd that go?)
December 16, 2018 2:33AMKurtis Kerner: (you tamed a bunch of drakes and got out into the undead version of the city?)
December 16, 2018 2:33AMLucas: (I presume he summoned the skeletal drake)
December 16, 2018 2:33AMKurtis Kerner: (yup)
(thats your best guess)
(except you didnt fly through no glass)
December 16, 2018 2:34AMLucas: "So I kinda tamed some dragons in Stygia, and I rode one outta there."
December 16, 2018 2:34AMKurtis Kerner: pinches the bridge of his nose December 16, 2018 2:35AMLucas: "Everything after that gets kinda fuzzy. Then all I remember is this lanky bastard over here pulling me but not me outta. The pool."
Eve K. nods as if that all makes sense
December 16, 2018 2:36AMDante: "What is it with people and dragons on this side of the lie anyway?"
Dante muses to himself aloud, continuing his pace. December 16, 2018 2:36AMJessica: "The lie?"
December 16, 2018 2:37AMEve K.: (("The lie"))
December 16, 2018 2:37AMKurtis Kerner: "That sounds like a story in its own right. I'm Kurtis, by the way."
December 16, 2018 2:37AMLucas: ((
(("THE LIE"))))
December 16, 2018 2:37AMDante: "Its a borrowed phrase I read. The world around us that doesn't know about magic."
December 16, 2018 2:37AMEve K.: ((similar to "the cake"))
December 16, 2018 2:37AMKurtis Kerner: "And the young man who rescued you is... well, he can introduce himself."
December 16, 2018 2:37AMDante: (((
T H E _ L I E)))
December 16, 2018 2:38AMKurtis Kerner: "Names hold power. From now on."
December 16, 2018 2:38AMLucas: "Yeah, this place is broken. There was some war a long time ago that did some funny stuff with the realms."
December 16, 2018 2:38AMJustin: Justin waves at Lucas. December 16, 2018 2:39AMEve K.: "I'm Eve. You seem to remember a good amount from your trip across the river."
December 16, 2018 2:39AMLucas: Lucas holds out his hand to Justin. "Thanks for noodlin me outta that swimmin hole"
December 16, 2018 2:40AMJustin: Justin takes Lucas' hand, strong grip and shakes it. "No problem. I am Justin."
December 16, 2018 2:40AMDante: ((are you sure it isn't joseph smith?))
December 16, 2018 2:41AMEve K.: ((XD!!!))
December 16, 2018 2:41AMLucas: Lucas shakes once firmly and moves on to Eve. "Nice to meetcha, Eve."
December 16, 2018 2:42AMDante: Dante just watches the introductions take place, holding the door for everyone else as they arrive at the bar, or ordering a round if we've already arrived. Eve K. shakes hands with a smile, though her hands are considerably smaller than his
December 16, 2018 2:42AMEve K.: ((rounds for everyone!))
December 16, 2018 2:42AMDante: ((everyone except Fernando's father))
December 16, 2018 2:42AMLucas: "yeah, that tower was somethin else. I spent a few years just reading the books I could find."
December 16, 2018 2:42AMEve K.: ((and Justin))
December 16, 2018 2:43AMKurtis Kerner: nods thanks to Dante for holding the door and enters, looking around following second to last with only Dante behind him "I'm sorry what? Years?"
December 16, 2018 2:43AMJessica: ((what day of the week is it?))
December 16, 2018 2:43AMKurtis Kerner: ((Thursday?))
December 16, 2018 2:44AMEve K.: "Time is different on the other side Kurtis."
December 16, 2018 2:44AMJessica: ((just checking))
December 16, 2018 2:44AMLucas: "yeah. At least that's what it felt like. Time moves funny when you're dead."
December 16, 2018 2:44AMJessica: "Arcadia was kind of funny like that with space."
December 16, 2018 2:45AMDante: Dante ushers everyone over to a discrete table, takes their drink orders, and delivers it to the bar before heading back to join them. December 16, 2018 2:45AMJessica: "So...we still kind of need to talk to Mr. Cubic don't we?"
December 16, 2018 2:45AMKurtis Kerner: "Vodka tonic, like three glasses"
December 16, 2018 2:45AMLucas: "no thanks. I don't really drink anymore."
December 16, 2018 2:46AMKurtis Kerner: "Yeah, he told me not to worry, said he took care of it. He just said we can come back any time."
"Lucas, were you at the rock concert when the arena was attacked? There's police there and many bodies. Do you know what happened?"
December 16, 2018 2:48AMJessica: "Do the names Mladen Begojevich, Arian Kunst, Peter Nilsson, or Slabod Skorlitsa mean anything to you?"
Eve K. orders a red wine, sipping it lightly when it arrives
December 16, 2018 2:49AMLucas: "I can't really be sure. I was still the concert, and then I woke up covered in blood on top of some guy with a knife in my hand and his chest. And then I got shot by the cops, and went to Stygia and then I ended up back at the concert and flew in a dragon."
" the only thing outta all those that's a name was Peter."
December 16, 2018 2:50AMJessica: Jessica sighs. She orders a water since she shudders to think what this group would be like drunk without a dd.
December 16, 2018 2:50AMLucas: Oh yeah. This shadowy bastard came in and wrecked the place
December 16, 2018 2:50AMDante: ((whatever do you mean, I am literally The Perfect Driver, gosh dang.))
Dante will immediately shoot his whiskey the moment it arrives and gesture for another.
December 16, 2018 2:51AMJessica: ((yeah but I haven't seen you drunk yet and look at Justin))
December 16, 2018 2:51AMKurtis Kerner: "Shadowy bastard? What shadowy bastard?"
December 16, 2018 2:51AMJessica: ((Kurtis takes his coffee with cocaine))
December 16, 2018 2:52AMKurtis Kerner: ((coffeeine))
((it's coffaine))
December 16, 2018 2:52AMDante: ((Dante runs his hands along the steering wheel and casts Psychic Genesis on the gas pedal. Do your thing, buddy.))
December 16, 2018 2:52AMJessica: ((YASS))
((FUND IT))
((it's fine we'll have Mr. Cubic rewind if we fuck up))
December 16, 2018 2:53AMGM (GM): ((he already did))
Eve K. raises a brow at "Shadowy bastard waiting for Lucas' explaination
December 16, 2018 2:53AMJessica: ((yeah i'm pretty sure we're currently before Jess shows up at the corporation))
December 16, 2018 2:53AMLucas: "When I woke up, this guy kinda just came out of shadows with glowing gold eyes."
December 16, 2018 2:54AMJessica: ((Jorg did nothing wrong))
December 16, 2018 2:54AMLucas: "he started taking out the cops and then chanted on stage and then all the sudden, we was a bunch of skeletons fighting monsters in my head."
Eve K. takes another sip of her wine listening without comment for now
December 16, 2018 2:56AMKurtis Kerner: "My god, how are we going to even begin to explain it and tie in.... hey, look, Luke. See. We found you, cause'... we're investigating something for someone, some private work. Do you mind coming with us and telling your side of the story to this one corporate suit. He's... like... invested in these businesses and stuff."
December 16, 2018 2:58AMLucas: Lucas shrugged. "I have one more promise to fulfill before I really go commitin to anything, but I am a servant of the Balance. Wherever I can go and keep the scales even, that's what I do."
December 16, 2018 2:59AMKurtis Kerner: "Oooooookie dokie."
shoots like all 3 shots Eve K. glances at Dante and Kurtis at the mention of this
December 16, 2018 2:59AMGM (GM): ((3 am here. good stopping point?))
December 16, 2018 2:59AMEve K.: ((yaaaaas))
December 16, 2018 2:59AMGM (GM): ((i'll combine the two logs into one episode i think))
December 16, 2018 3:00AMDante: Dante casts his gaze across the group, pondering, weighing options. ((yes slp pls))
December 16, 2018 3:00AMLucas: (please and thank you. I have like, 2 and a half hours before I have to get up.)
ONE WISH GRANTED, ONE PROMISE FULFILLED, ONE BUDDY DID ITS THING. ONE MIME REMAINS. Find out on the next Episode of Mage!
December 16, 2018 3:01AMGM (GM): Everyone 4 xp

December 16, 2018 3:02AMDante: ((was fun for sure. Should be more fun next session when we get into more clusterfuckery))
December 16, 2018 3:02AMJessica: ((I'm upping Familiar to 2 dots))
December 16, 2018 3:02AMGM (GM): (I expected you to shove hotmom out of the way)
December 16, 2018 3:03AMLucas: (I thought about it, but Alfie is more passive than that.)
December 16, 2018 3:03AMEve K.: (
hotmom shove))
December 16, 2018 3:03AMGM (GM): Alfie is a lil bitch and got the half hearted acceptance/rejection he deserved
December 16, 2018 3:03AMDante: ((kinky))
((less kinky))
December 16, 2018 3:03AMLucas: (I feel bad for Astrid though. She's definitely gonna find out that Alfie really is dead)
December 16, 2018 3:04AMEve K.: ((Then she gonna cry))
December 16, 2018 3:04AMGM (GM): ((but she will know he loves her))
December 16, 2018 3:04AMDante: ((Maybe she'll go on forever thinking it was part of a practical joke.))
December 16, 2018 3:04AMGM (GM): ((not with 1 success she wont))
December 16, 2018 3:04AMDante: ((darn))
December 16, 2018 3:04AMLucas: (but he's her OTL)
(watch, she's gonna figure out that it really was Alfie, and she shoulda believed him.)
December 16, 2018 3:05AMJessica: (Finder is cool. I'm gonna pick that up next time))
((gotta get my occult up))
December 16, 2018 3:06AMEve K.: ((night all))

December 16, 2018 3:07AMDante: ((naito))
