not8mihalis8boy: we're waiting for Mike
not8mihalis8boy: gaa..
not8mihalis8boy: he's having computer problems
not8mihalis8boy: give him a sec
WuseMajor has entered the room.
not8mihalis8boy: there we go
not8mihalis8boy: okay
LordStyphon01: Okay, there we go
WuseMajor: yep there we go
firelight mystic: so, back to business?
not8mihalis8boy: You're all standing in front of
Cleopatra's Needle, within sight of the blood
bath on the steps of the Met (except, of
course, for Traci)
not8mihalis8boy: What do you do?
WuseMajor: (wish i had connection 4)
WuseMajor: wait and appear like i had nothing to do with it
not8mihalis8boy: okay, Miss Innocent
not8mihalis8boy: Charles?
not8mihalis8boy: Gemini finally heals you after Alli
points out that they look real suspicious
otherwise, and promptly passes out
LordStyphon01: Cool
LordStyphon01: Hmmm
not8mihalis8boy: Traci?
firelight mystic: yup?
not8mihalis8boy: You are shopping on Fifth Ave
when you hear sirens
not8mihalis8boy: Do you follow?
firelight mystic: hell yeah.
firelight mystic: but not to obvious about it
not8mihalis8boy: They're heading towards Central
Park
firelight mystic: alright
not8mihalis8boy: (Oh, c'mon. This is New York.
EVERYONE'S drifting after the sirens)
firelight mystic: (btw, do I know everyone, or what)
firelight mystic: (true)
not8mihalis8boy: (You know Alli and Wu from
NYCU)
firelight mystic: cool.
not8mihalis8boy: (Gemini and Charlse are
strangers, which you would know if you had
done more than skimmed the transcript....oh,
well)
not8mihalis8boy: (bitch, bitch)
firelight mystic: (die)
firelight mystic: oh well, still following
not8mihalis8boy: Charles, what are you doing?
not8mihalis8boy: A crowd is starting to gather
LordStyphon01: I go over to the crowd
not8mihalis8boy: Looking at the carnage
not8mihalis8boy: And join it?
firelight mystic: (do I get there yet?)
not8mihalis8boy: <whisper> "What the fuck are you
doing? They're perfect cover!"
WuseMajor: (do you have mind?)
LordStyphon01: (do you mind?)
not8mihalis8boy: leaving you, Wu, with an
unconscious body in the middle of the empty
space
WuseMajor: (not at all!:-D)
not8mihalis8boy: and the cops are pulling up
firelight mystic: (no mind)
not8mihalis8boy: (yep...you're all mindless :-D)
firelight mystic: (anyway..........)
firelight mystic: (am I there yet?)
WuseMajor: (but mister cop me and my big sister just got here and
she got all woozy when she saw the people...)
not8mihalis8boy: Traci, you're about a block away.
firelight mystic: (snickers)
firelight mystic: okay
firelight mystic: runs the rest of the way
not8mihalis8boy: The cops are pulling up in front of
The Met. This looks bad.
firelight mystic: pauses, and keeps back
firelight mystic: mixes in with the fringe of the crowd
firelight mystic: and tries to work way around
not8mihalis8boy: You suddenly realize that you
turned off your cell when you went for Ice
Cream.
firelight mystic: *turns on phone*
not8mihalis8boy: And forgot to turn it back on.
not8mihalis8boy: Fortunately, the crowd parts like
the Red Sea.
firelight mystic: (can it be double fudge brownie nut ice cream)
firelight mystic: and?
not8mihalis8boy: Wu, Charles, you notice that the
crowd is parting around someone.
not8mihalis8boy: The cops are starting to cordon
off the area, and Wu, half a dozen have guns
pointed at you.
not8mihalis8boy: "Put your hands in the air, miss,
and no-one will get hurt!"
firelight mystic: mutters damn.
firelight mystic: wonders if she could bail Wu out of her situation
not8mihalis8boy: (Wait'll a detective shows up, and
recognizes Wu from the NYCU bombing...)
WuseMajor: (uo, don't think acting like a kit will get me out of this)
WuseMajor: (uh oh)
WuseMajor: (kid)
not8mihalis8boy: Charles? These people DID help
you...
firelight mystic: (hey, anything nearby that could be used to create
one hell of a distraction?)
not8mihalis8boy: "I'm not gonna say it again, miss!!
Put your hands in the air!!!"
WuseMajor: (becides, you wanted us for questioning)
not8mihalis8boy: (the crowd)
WuseMajor: i put them up
firelight mystic: (anything else_-like cars....hey police cars!)
LordStyphon01: (A kit?)
WuseMajor: (kid)
not8mihalis8boy: At this point, a SWAT van pulls to
a screeching halt, and SWAT team officers start
POURING out
firelight mystic: damn.
not8mihalis8boy: "Okay, miss. Now lie flat on your
stomach, and put your hands behind your
back."
WuseMajor: (i hope my next character lasts longer...)
LordStyphon01: (Sorry. None of the IMs showed scrolled to me)
WuseMajor: i do so
not8mihalis8boy: At this point, Alli, seeing that
no-one is helping.....
firelight mystic: moves to fringe of crowd, and attempts to blow up
swat Van
firelight mystic: What would the diff be?
not8mihalis8boy: points a finger at the SWAT van
and mutters something
firelight mystic: HEY!
not8mihalis8boy: Charles, did you hit the ground? I
assume so, since you didn't know what was
going on
not8mihalis8boy: (I scare me...often)
firelight mystic: (you scare us all)
WuseMajor: (good)
LordStyphon01: Yeah
not8mihalis8boy: Okay...Charles, you and the cops
start picking yourselves back up, and some
rookie looks behind you and shouts "Halt, in the
name of the law!"
LordStyphon01: Oh dear God
firelight mystic: (what the hell?!)
not8mihalis8boy: Looking over your shoulder, you
see Targets #1, 2, AND 3 hauling ass
firelight mystic: hauls ass faster
not8mihalis8boy: Wu, Traci...You just got covered in
shadow
firelight mystic: Traci: WHAT THE HELL
not8mihalis8boy: Charles, you've NEVER seen that
look on a human face
not8mihalis8boy: But Traci, Wu...you recognize this.
The shadow...is of wings.
WuseMajor: b
not8mihalis8boy: Alli starts screaming in some
weird, inhuman language, and hurling Fireballs
at the crowd.
firelight mystic: (okay, signifigance of this is?)
firelight mystic: (never mind)
WuseMajor: "run"
not8mihalis8boy: (she just got possessed by
Sammael, her Avatar)
WuseMajor: "run, now!"
not8mihalis8boy: You can almost see black
feathered wings
firelight mystic: Traci: Yells damn, and hauls ass as fast as possible
WuseMajor: "must go faster, must go faster"
not8mihalis8boy: Charles...roll initiative
not8mihalis8boy: (lol)
firelight mystic: Traci: Damnit, can't you two stay the hell out of
trouble!!!!!
LordStyphon01: You have the dice, remember?
not8mihalis8boy: oh, yeah
WuseMajor: "she's the trouble magnet, not me!"
firelight mystic: "can't I leave you two alone for a few hours?!?"
not8mihalis8boy: it's a tie
firelight mystic: "never mind."
not8mihalis8boy: Charles, what are you doing?
firelight mystic: "What the hell are we going to do?"
firelight mystic: "you know that's our asses, right?"
not8mihalis8boy: Oh....and the cops are firing like
mad
firelight mystic: "oh shit." runs much , much faster
not8mihalis8boy: The bullets are stopping and
hovering about 6 inches from her body
firelight mystic: Traci: hauling ass and praying to Aradia to spare
them
firelight mystic: (traci's was Wicca before her Awakening)
WuseMajor: somehow manageing to run even faster
WuseMajor: (what trad?)
firelight mystic: (Verbena)
firelight mystic: (ask about my soul sometime)
WuseMajor: (figures)
not8mihalis8boy: Charles?
not8mihalis8boy: What are you doing?
LordStyphon01: I'm distracted at the moment
firelight mystic: (celtic goddess)
not8mihalis8boy: okay
firelight mystic: Traci: damnit, she's your responsibility! now run
faster, damnit!
not8mihalis8boy: Wu, Traci...what are YOU doing,
aside from running?
not8mihalis8boy: You see THINGS bounding towards
you
firelight mystic: (damn)\
not8mihalis8boy: Big, HAIRY things
firelight mystic: (FUCK)
WuseMajor: i look at my watch
not8mihalis8boy: on the bright side, they seem
intent on the berserk angel, not the people
running in terror
WuseMajor: like wolf things?
not8mihalis8boy: Yep
not8mihalis8boy: Speaking of berserk angels, said
angel just started to fly
WuseMajor: (oh great the werwolves of manhattan.)
firelight mystic: (haul ass, Mike?)
WuseMajor: hauling ass
firelight mystic: hauls ass
WuseMajor: (donkey too
WuseMajor: )
WuseMajor: :-D
firelight mystic: lmao
WuseMajor: (1mao?)
firelight mystic: (laugh my ass off)
firelight mystic: Traci: we should hide.
firelight mystic: NOW!
not8mihalis8boy: And Alli lobs off a second Fireball
WuseMajor: any good places?
firelight mystic: Traci: Mutters long string of curses, and considers
leaving the country
not8mihalis8boy: This one's big enough that it kills
the rest of the cops
WuseMajor: *hufff*"yea"*puff*
not8mihalis8boy: Charles, since you're not here, I'm
going to assume that you grabbed Gemini for
questioning, and hauled ass as soon as Allison
stopped and turned
not8mihalis8boy: And are thus out of the blast
radius of both Fireballs
firelight mystic: (scans around for good hiding places)
firelight mystic: (perception roll, David?)
WuseMajor: mutters a string of inventive curses and conciders
leaving the planet
not8mihalis8boy: Looking over your shoulder, you
see a most comical sight:
firelight mystic: take me with you
not8mihalis8boy: Half a dozen enraged Crinos
Garou, scratching their heads and futily
jumping, trying to reach Alli
WuseMajor: let me get enought tinkering done and i will
firelight mystic: I'll help
not8mihalis8boy: At this point, a shimmering
appears in the air nearby
firelight mystic: groans, and keeps running
firelight mystic: what hell?!
not8mihalis8boy: This could be a golden
opportunity
WuseMajor: (i don't think that a verbena and a 'son' of ether will be
able to colaberate well)
firelight mystic: (true)
not8mihalis8boy: Your archfoe just showed up
firelight mystic:
(NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOO)
not8mihalis8boy: In the, er, flesh
WuseMajor: "why, me"
not8mihalis8boy: Ever seen a demon and fallen
angel duke it out?
firelight mystic: (SHIT)
firelight mystic: Traci: whimpers
firelight mystic: (okay, big ass fireball, NOW!)
WuseMajor: ok i think i'm just going to go back to my apt.
not8mihalis8boy: Teleporting?
firelight mystic: (two were tens)
WuseMajor: yes
not8mihalis8boy: (too bad you didn't spend
Quintessence and Willpower)
firelight mystic: hey
firelight mystic: can I?
firelight mystic: pleeeaassee?
firelight mystic: jus this once?
not8mihalis8boy: (yes, because you specifically said
it was gonna be big ass)
firelight mystic: okay.
not8mihalis8boy: (reroll it)
not8mihalis8boy: (difficulty is 3 if you spend 5
Quintessence)
WuseMajor: (according too the book you do it after you roll)
not8mihalis8boy: (+1 success for 1 Willpower)
not8mihalis8boy: NOW what's your total?
firelight mystic: (spending on willpower, five quintessence)
firelight mystic: fortune die: 9
not8mihalis8boy: (Willpower has to be declared
BEFORE, though)
firelight mystic: five sucesses
firelight mystic: honking huge successes
not8mihalis8boy: five, including Forces and
Willpower?
firelight mystic: (that would be seven then
not8mihalis8boy: 21 Health Levels
firelight mystic: oh shit
firelight mystic: is he dead?
firelight mystic: is he?
firelight mystic: (or am I not that lucky?)
not8mihalis8boy: just a sec
WuseMajor: can i do my roll now?
not8mihalis8boy: oh....and of course, NOW your
talisman starts chiming urgently
not8mihalis8boy: Sure, Wu
not8mihalis8boy: difficulty is 9, though
not8mihalis8boy: (waves)
WuseMajor: (unless he got extra healt levels somehow, you just
need to do 8 dmg)
WuseMajor: (9?!?)
not8mihalis8boy: (unless he soaks)
WuseMajor: (yeah)
firelight mystic: (sigh of relief. Thought yu meant braxton)
not8mihalis8boy: (wait....8....no witnesses)
not8mihalis8boy: (sorry)
not8mihalis8boy: (oh...no, I meant the Demon)
firelight mystic: (kay)
WuseMajor: (it should be 7)
firelight mystic: traci: Yeah, now you wait to tell me the damn
thing's around
WuseMajor: (too much reality desturbance?)
not8mihalis8boy: (yep)
firelight mystic: (said to her pendant)
WuseMajor: (ok)
WuseMajor: (five dice, right?)
WuseMajor: (how much will power can you spend at once?)
not8mihalis8boy: (just one, and yes, it's 5 dice)
not8mihalis8boy: The demon is incinerated
firelight mystic has left the room.
firelight mystic has entered the room. firelight mystic: thanx
not8mihalis8boy: The demon is incinerated
not8mihalis8boy: (Then again, you've killed him
before)
firelight mystic: I got booted off
WuseMajor: (i'm going to spend it)
not8mihalis8boy: (I know)
firelight mystic: (oh no............)
not8mihalis8boy: (ok)
firelight mystic: (okay)
not8mihalis8boy: Alli, fortunately, is unharmed
firelight mystic: )is she still psycho?)
not8mihalis8boy: Except for the fact that a
shudder passes through her body
WuseMajor: (3 successes, including will, fourtion die 5)
not8mihalis8boy: (It only takes 2 to get home)
WuseMajor: (good!)
not8mihalis8boy: <sound of teleporting girl>
not8mihalis8boy: Alli looks around in horror, and
starts weeping
firelight mystic: traci: yells at empty space: you bitch!
WuseMajor: (I can give you that sound)
firelight mystic: Runs over to Alli
not8mihalis8boy: she slowly floats to the ground,
and collapses in a huddle, crying
firelight mystic: anyone still coming?
not8mihalis8boy: You hear her crying in English
not8mihalis8boy: (not for a bit...you two managed
to blow up every cop car in the city,
remember?)
firelight mystic: (oh. okay.)
not8mihalis8boy: No. The crowd disappeared or is
dead, and strangely, you don't hear any
sirens
firelight mystic: (hugs traci) come on, it's okay
firelight mystic: (keeps an ear perked, just in case)
not8mihalis8boy: "Dear god, what have I done.
What is this THING inside me? So much blood,
so many lives..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Why, why, why?"
WuseMajor: Now from where i am i will acivate my spy satilite and
look for them and try to get them back here
not8mihalis8boy: "Why can't I just be NORMAL"
not8mihalis8boy: (roll it)
firelight mystic: Traci: every mage's wish
firelight mystic: look, you saw what happened.
not8mihalis8boy: (difficulty is 4)
WuseMajor: (don't EVER just wish to be normal)
firelight mystic: if you hadn't done anything, Wu would be toast.....
firelight mystic: and us..........
not8mihalis8boy: "COMPARED TO ME, OTHER MAGI
ARE NORMAL!!!"
WuseMajor: (is that including sanctum?)
not8mihalis8boy: (no...)
not8mihalis8boy: (then it's...)
WuseMajor: (sanctum 5)
firelight mystic: traci: normal is relative.
not8mihalis8boy: (I know)
not8mihalis8boy: (difficulty is 0)
firelight mystic: now look, let's get the hell out of here and we can
talk about this somewhere safe?
not8mihalis8boy: <sniff>
WuseMajor: (when i get connection 4 it is going to be an
extra-dimentional sanctum 5)
not8mihalis8boy: "Yeah"
firelight mystic: Helps Alli up
not8mihalis8boy: (no, that takes Spirit. It'll be a
Web-based sanctum at 5, though)
not8mihalis8boy: she starts sobbing on your
shoulder
WuseMajor: (5 successes, fortion die 9)
not8mihalis8boy: (you have them on visuals,
captain)
not8mihalis8boy: some weird chick comes out of
the museum
firelight mystic: Traci: grimaces above Alli's head, but tries her best
to comfort her
WuseMajor: (read 'bubble of reality')
not8mihalis8boy: hang on, wanna send you a pic
firelight mystic: kay
WuseMajor: (thak you, spock)
not8mihalis8boy: (because you don't have AIM, I
gotta e-mail it)
not8mihalis8boy: And you DEFINITELY need the pic
firelight mystic: okay
not8mihalis8boy: Don't you agree, Michael?
firelight mystic: definately curious now............
firelight mystic: sent it yet?
WuseMajor: (who is this 'autumn'?)
not8mihalis8boy: (it's not the character's name)
not8mihalis8boy: (it's from Elfwood)
firelight mystic: okay
not8mihalis8boy: it's on it's way
firelight mystic: niiice
firelight mystic: lemme guess--Alli?
not8mihalis8boy: nope
WuseMajor: (ok, just trying to make sure i found the right one)
not8mihalis8boy: Want a pic of Alli?
not8mihalis8boy: Anyway, this BIZARRE woman
comes out of The Met, and hustles you inside.
In your mind, you hear "Come, we must hurry.
I am a friend."
firelight mystic: wait a sec---who ARE you?
not8mihalis8boy: <still in your mind> "Alli knows.
Where is her friend, Wu?"
not8mihalis8boy: "And you must be Traci?"
WuseMajor: (i do have Traci's cell phone nuber, right?)
firelight mystic: the hell..........
firelight mystic: um..........
firelight mystic: yeah............
firelight mystic: (yup)
not8mihalis8boy: (yes, but you can't hear any of
this)
WuseMajor: it rings
firelight mystic: I answer
not8mihalis8boy: "Do not fear....Allison has told me
much about you."
firelight mystic: What's up?
firelight mystic: like what?
WuseMajor: (i can still call now that i have them on visual)
not8mihalis8boy: (yep)
WuseMajor: "hello, TraciO:-)"
firelight mystic: you bitch!
not8mihalis8boy: "Tell Wu that she must come here
with all haste"
firelight mystic: you left us!
WuseMajor: "i was going to try to guide you away."
firelight mystic: some weird chick (says no offense to lady) says to
get your ass over here.
firelight mystic: now.
WuseMajor: (is she the one from before?)
not8mihalis8boy: Alli: "Sensei? You look...different..."
firelight mystic: Sensei?!
not8mihalis8boy: (doesn't look it, but from Alli's
comment, yes)
WuseMajor: (which i can't hear)
firelight mystic: Looks at Alli then back at the woman
firelight mystic: speaks into phone: get over here quick
WuseMajor: (what did she look like before?)
not8mihalis8boy: (yes you can...you just can't hear
what the strange woman says)
firelight mystic: (no kiddin)
WuseMajor: "ok!:-D"
firelight mystic: traci mutters "crackhead" into the phone, then turns
back to Alli's sensei
firelight mystic: so, how much do you know about me?
not8mihalis8boy: (just sent you the pic of Allison)
firelight mystic: kay
not8mihalis8boy: "That is not important. Only the
now is important"
WuseMajor: (now lets see, correspondance 3+4 -5 for the
sanctum...)
WuseMajor: (diff 1!)
firelight mystic: whatever.
not8mihalis8boy: (yep)
firelight mystic: Alli, you know this chick?
WuseMajor: (2 successes, fourtion die 3)
not8mihalis8boy: (the old sensie looked like this,
Michael)
not8mihalis8boy: (A short woman, about 5'2",
dressed in cargo pants and a Playboy bunny
t-shirt, late 20'sShe's wearing black glasses,
has several ear piercings and a nose ringHer
hair is dyed purple)
WuseMajor: (i'm going to be in that under ground room)
not8mihalis8boy: (2 successes isn't enough)
WuseMajor: (try again)
not8mihalis8boy: (you need four)
WuseMajor: (ok)
not8mihalis8boy: (at +1 difficulty)
not8mihalis8boy: "Yes. This is RaverJedi...I think."
firelight mystic: RaverJedi?!?
not8mihalis8boy: YinYang (in your mind): "You may
call me YinYang."
WuseMajor: (if i get a one at a diff one does it still take away one
successes?)
not8mihalis8boy: Alli: "Umm...okay."
not8mihalis8boy: (yes, but it also counts as a
success)
not8mihalis8boy: Alli: "Why the name change?"
WuseMajor: (in thatcase i did get 4 successes)
not8mihalis8boy: (okay...you're now in Alli's room)
not8mihalis8boy: "Later. Now, we must go."
WuseMajor: the downstairs one?
firelight mystic: go where?
not8mihalis8boy: This strange woman leads you to
inside, past the security guard with a wave of
her hand, to which he replies "You are
authorized personnel. You were never here."
not8mihalis8boy: Into the Employee only area,
down some stairs to some old classrooms
not8mihalis8boy: (like in the Museum of Natural
Science in Houston)
firelight mystic: (sarcastically) these are not the droids you're
looking for
not8mihalis8boy: Then into one, which has been
converted into a bedroom.
WuseMajor: "what took you?"
not8mihalis8boy: (telepathically) "There is much
wisdom in Obi-Wan's words."
firelight mystic: and looked how ended up.
firelight mystic: jacked up by his own student
WuseMajor: :-)
WuseMajor: (yeah)
not8mihalis8boy: (tp) "I also see wisdom in Darth
Maul's ways."
not8mihalis8boy: (tp) "Now that you're all here,
gathered together, I will tell you what is
going on."
firelight mystic: rolls eyes
WuseMajor: (he didn't get a speaking part did he?)
firelight mystic: (irreverant isn't she?
not8mihalis8boy: (actually, he has two lines)
WuseMajor: (very)
WuseMajor: (plus growls)
WuseMajor: "yes please tell us.O:-)"
not8mihalis8boy: (BTW, I just realized I forgot to
mention the werewolves' fate. They got kiled
by Traci's Fireball)
WuseMajor: (or were those his two lines?)
firelight mystic: (oops)
not8mihalis8boy: (tp) "Wu, would you get The
Statue?"
WuseMajor: (oh shit!)
firelight mystic: (that's gonna suck for me later)
not8mihalis8boy: (yep)
not8mihalis8boy: (on the bright side, there weren't
any witnesses)
firelight mystic: (shiiiit)
WuseMajor: (i'm going to so have to get life just so i can still live in
new youk)
not8mihalis8boy: (hehehe)
WuseMajor: "Ok:-D"
firelight mystic: (I have it, and look at *ME*)
WuseMajor: (you didn't send me a picture)
WuseMajor: (how big was the statue?)
not8mihalis8boy: (Wu, roll it for there and back...4
successes)
not8mihalis8boy: (a picture of what?)
not8mihalis8boy: (the statue was man-sized, slightly
bigger...about 7')
WuseMajor: (i was responding to alicia)
not8mihalis8boy: (ah...here's her pic)
WuseMajor: (what there and back?)
not8mihalis8boy: (yep...I assume you were gonna
teleport and get it)
not8mihalis8boy: brb
not8mihalis8boy: (food break...real quick)
firelight mystic: so mike, i say we run while we can
WuseMajor: (aren't you having fun?:-D)
firelight mystic: (yup. our fun is scary, no0
not8mihalis8boy: back
not8mihalis8boy: (I'm glad...I'm having fun, too)
WuseMajor: (QueenStyphon are you still in existance?)
not8mihalis8boy: (mmm...fish)
not8mihalis8boy: (nah, he said earlier he might
book unexpectedly...it's ok...I don't think he's
coming back)
WuseMajor: (ok)
not8mihalis8boy: Anyway, do you go get the
Statue?
WuseMajor: (was there an elevator?)
not8mihalis8boy: yeeesss....
not8mihalis8boy: (but you can't possibly lift it, and
time seems to be of the essence)
WuseMajor: "oh is there a hand truck big enough for the statue
around here?"
not8mihalis8boy: (You could TK it with the GWU)
WuseMajor: (yep)
not8mihalis8boy: (tp) "I'll do it"
not8mihalis8boy: And with that she leaves
WuseMajor: (but i don't want to be too obvious)
not8mihalis8boy: You realize that Alli has been
unusually quiet
firelight mystic: looks at Alli
firelight mystic: you okay, girl?
not8mihalis8boy: In fact, she's curled up in the
corner
firelight mystic: (under breath) uh oh......
WuseMajor: "Are you ok?"
firelight mystic: walks over to Alli
firelight mystic: kneels down beside her.
WuseMajor: walks over
firelight mystic: Alli? Alli honey?
not8mihalis8boy: (sounds like a muffled and
sobbing "go away")
WuseMajor: "i think that we should let the Mentalist help."
not8mihalis8boy: <whimpers> "How can you stand
it? We've killed people. Real people."
not8mihalis8boy: <breaks down and starts sobbing
again>
WuseMajor: (i haven't)
firelight mystic: Oh lord. Here comes the lecture
not8mihalis8boy: (she's talking to Traci)
WuseMajor: (well, not that i can remember, at least;-))
firelight mystic: Look Alli, a very good number of those people
were NOT good, and it WAS for self-defense
not8mihalis8boy: <sniff> "Yeah, but damnit, I didn't
do it. He did."
WuseMajor: "you weren't really in control of your actions today."
firelight mystic: oh yeah, you're helping
not8mihalis8boy: "Exactly!!! Do you know what it's
like to have no control over yourself!"
firelight mystic: (to Wu, btw)
firelight mystic: to wu: See what you did?
not8mihalis8boy: "I felt so HELPLESS, trapped inside
my own body!"
not8mihalis8boy: <snort, which is interesting to
watch since she's crying>
not8mihalis8boy: "It's not so much that I killed
innocent bystanders. It's that I didn't do it of
my own free will."
WuseMajor: "no, HOWEVER i'm sure that with help you could
learn better control"
not8mihalis8boy: "If it had been me, I would have
made different choices."
not8mihalis8boy: "Better choices."
firelight mystic: like what?
not8mihalis8boy: "DO YOU HEAR ME, SAMMAEL!!!"
firelight mystic: I'm pretty sure he does
not8mihalis8boy: And with that she starts
screaming at the air in Enochian, waving her
fist and stomping her feet
firelight mystic: ah hell.........
WuseMajor: i set the recorder
firelight mystic: slaps Alli and yells: SNAP OUT OF IT!
WuseMajor: "uh-oh"
not8mihalis8boy: nonono
not8mihalis8boy: She's yellling at Sammael
firelight mystic: (um...wait.......I'm sorry)
not8mihalis8boy: Are you sure you want to slap her?
not8mihalis8boy: She takes a deep breath, calms
down, and in English:
firelight mystic: (when she actually does, can I slap her?)
WuseMajor: "is there any way to get to where you can talk directly
too him"
WuseMajor: "?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Look, Sammael. If you want to
atone, you have to remember why you,
Lucifer, and the rest got thrown out."
not8mihalis8boy: "Yeah...in my dreams."
WuseMajor: "wasn't it pride?"
not8mihalis8boy: "No."
not8mihalis8boy: "Not really. That was their sin, but
not the reason."
firelight mystic: Traci: (under breath) Fuck.........
WuseMajor: "excessive force?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Nope. Basically, Lucifer lost a
bet."
firelight mystic: Traci: what bet?
WuseMajor: "with god, right?"
not8mihalis8boy: "HE DID NOT LOSE! GOD
CHEATED!"
not8mihalis8boy: "Shut up."
not8mihalis8boy: "The bet was with God, yes."
WuseMajor: "can god cheat?"
not8mihalis8boy: "To make a long story short, the
reason they got cast out was because of free
will."
firelight mystic: Traci: Okay, I'm not Christian, but I'm quite sure
God's not a cheater
not8mihalis8boy: "And no, God didn't cheat. He
accused Lucifer of cheating, and welshed."
WuseMajor: (shouldn't that have been in Enochian?)
firelight mystic: I thought the story was they got tossed cause
Lucifer was being a stupid asshole
not8mihalis8boy: (nah, he can speak English,
too....he just usually doesn't)
WuseMajor: "did Lucifer cheat?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Arguing with God makes you a
stupid asshole."
WuseMajor: "sounds like it"
not8mihalis8boy: "Umm....no. But Beelzebub might
have. There weren't any specifications."
not8mihalis8boy: "DON'T interrupt, Sammael."
not8mihalis8boy: "The bet was whether or not
humans would be responsible with free will.
The apple. If Lucifer won, and we ate, the
angels got free will."
firelight mystic: Never head that story
WuseMajor: "arguing with anything that much more powerful than
you makes you a stupid asshole."
firelight mystic: point
not8mihalis8boy: "Beelzebub, the serpent,
interfered, by tempting Eve."
not8mihalis8boy: "God said that that was against
the rules, and declared the bet null and
void."
firelight mystic: fair enough
not8mihalis8boy: "Lucifer stuck to the fact that
they never set DOWN any rules, and so the
move was legit."
WuseMajor: "but if angels don't have free will..."
not8mihalis8boy: "Right. It's all part of God's plan."
firelight mystic: i say it
firelight mystic: it's all full of shit
not8mihalis8boy: "The point is, Michael gathered his
followers, and tossed Lucifer and the rest out
of heaven for their pride. Specifically, Lucifer's
pride of arguing with God."
WuseMajor: "why did he make the bet in the first place?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Dunno. One can only say that it's
all part of God's plan."
not8mihalis8boy: "And yeah, I know you're Wiccan,
Traci."
firelight mystic: again, i say it's all full of shit
WuseMajor: "if thay don't have free will, then..."
firelight mystic: I know
not8mihalis8boy: "Think of God as another spirit,
and the angels as a host of lesser spirits
serving him."
WuseMajor: "cosmic solitare."
not8mihalis8boy: "Just as you're possessed by a
goddess, so am I possessed by Sammael."
not8mihalis8boy: "But HUMANS have free will."
firelight mystic: I"m not possessed.
firelight mystic: you don't see me freaking out and smiting down
anybody
WuseMajor: (i prefer to think of it as god isn't skipping ahead in the
book)
not8mihalis8boy: (mmm....Halibut)
not8mihalis8boy: "Fine. But I am. And that's my
problem."
not8mihalis8boy: "So shut the fuck up, ok?"
firelight mystic: kiss my ass
not8mihalis8boy: "You want some, bitch? Let me
show you how they fought The War..."
WuseMajor: "oh-no not again!"
firelight mystic: Fuck you! I'll light you up like an Aggie bon-fire
WuseMajor: "if you guys must fight can you find a certamen circle?"
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh, yeah? We'll see about that! I
won't even NEED Magick to kick YOUR sorry
ass!"
not8mihalis8boy: (ignoring Wu)
firelight mystic: (ignoring WU) Just try it BITCH
WuseMajor: "i really need to work on that nano..."
not8mihalis8boy: Her visage distorts, and she kicks
you
firelight mystic: BITCH
WuseMajor: thinking really hard 'get down here now, please'
not8mihalis8boy: Roll Dodge
WuseMajor: 'NOW, please'
firelight mystic: (point of willpower for sucess)

paragraph in the book of shadows)
firelight mystic: punch her in the stomach
firelight mystic: (willpower)
not8mihalis8boy: (about the Hollywood cabal?)
WuseMajor: (should be about a LA cabal)
not8mihalis8boy: can't
WuseMajor: (yes)
not8mihalis8boy: this is same turn
firelight mystic: why?
firelight mystic: fine......
firelight mystic: roll strength and dex?\
not8mihalis8boy: if you don't WANT to split your
dice pool, that's fine
not8mihalis8boy: what did you roll to Dodge?
firelight mystic: straight dodge
not8mihalis8boy: (what about them? I take it you
bought a copy)
not8mihalis8boy: Then you have Dex and Brawl left
firelight mystic: (what about strength and brawl)
firelight mystic: or strength, dex, and brawl?
not8mihalis8boy: no, strength is for damage, not to
hit
WuseMajor: (yes, i just thought it was funny and i didn't know if you
knew?"
WuseMajor: )
firelight mystic: Fine.
firelight mystic: dex and brawl
not8mihalis8boy: (yep...gave me an idea for a
character, in fact)
not8mihalis8boy: punch is difficulty 5
WuseMajor: (oy)
firelight mystic: six sucesses
firelight mystic: (yay)
not8mihalis8boy: (didn't write it up, though...too
sick)
WuseMajor: (might be intersting to play david copperfield)
WuseMajor: i'm going to go help with the statue
firelight mystic: (ignore's Wu)\
not8mihalis8boy: amn
not8mihalis8boy: damn
not8mihalis8boy: only 4 successes
not8mihalis8boy: damage is...
WuseMajor: i really don't want to get caught in the crossfire, again
not8mihalis8boy: (that's right....forgot you switched
that dot)
firelight mystic: (that's all right.)
WuseMajor: (how many flaws did you take?!?!?!)
firelight mystic: so, anything I can add to that strength roll>
firelight mystic: (you don't wanna know)
not8mihalis8boy: nope
firelight mystic: fine.
firelight mystic: hold on.
not8mihalis8boy: just roll Strenght, difficulty 6
firelight mystic: 2
WuseMajor: (you are right i probably don't want to know)
not8mihalis8boy: (btw, I screwed up...the difficulty
of the punch SHOULD'VE been 6)
firelight mystic:
(BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
firelight mystic: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
not8mihalis8boy: She takes it
WuseMajor: i'm at the door and i'm opening it
not8mihalis8boy: And laughs at you
not8mihalis8boy: next turn
firelight mystic: fuck you ass hole!
firelight mystic: (initiative roll?)
not8mihalis8boy: roll initiative (one die, plus
dexterity, pluse wits)
not8mihalis8boy: 12
WuseMajor: i'm in the hall
firelight mystic: 11
not8mihalis8boy: she pulls her arm back, and strikes
you in the chest with the flat of her palm
WuseMajor: any sign of sensei lady yet?
not8mihalis8boy: roll dodge
not8mihalis8boy: nope
not8mihalis8boy: (You should have teleported)
WuseMajor: drat!
firelight mystic: (willpower for success, can i add dex?)
WuseMajor: i should have just teleported it
not8mihalis8boy: 8 successes to hit
firelight mystic: fuck
not8mihalis8boy: yes, you can add dex
not8mihalis8boy: and you can use Willpower
not8mihalis8boy: but remember....you can only use
that willpower once/turn, and the same with
dex
WuseMajor: i just figured that doing anything with all of the reality
manipluation that has been going on could have been very bad
firelight mystic: (no willpower, six sucesses)
not8mihalis8boy: anyway, it hits
firelight mystic: damn
not8mihalis8boy: soak....6
not8mihalis8boy: (whistle)
WuseMajor: besides, i have bad luck with dice, do you want me
botching a magickal effect roll involving that statue?
firelight mystic: (willpower) soak....... 4
not8mihalis8boy: you're down 3 total
firelight mystic: kay.
WuseMajor: ()
not8mihalis8boy: that's...-1 to all dice pools
firelight mystic: Cast a time spell to slow her ass down a LOT
WuseMajor: I am soo glad i'm in the hall.
firelight mystic: spend 2 quintessence
not8mihalis8boy: roll it
not8mihalis8boy: difficulty is....
not8mihalis8boy: 7, after Quint
firelight mystic: spend three more
not8mihalis8boy: you only spent 4 total
Quintessence
not8mihalis8boy: (diff is one lower)
firelight mystic: okay
firelight mystic: still, four sucesses
WuseMajor: (sometime i'm going to have to botch a spell, just for
fun)
not8mihalis8boy: unfortunately, Alli cuts off the
spell
firelight mystic: HOW!
not8mihalis8boy: She waves a hand, and says
"Vade!"
WuseMajor: if it is getting loder in there i'm moving off a bit
WuseMajor: louder
not8mihalis8boy: however, you feel a sudden surge
of strength
firelight mystic: and?
not8mihalis8boy: +2 Strength until the end of the
battle
not8mihalis8boy: are you doing anything else?
firelight mystic: cool.
firelight mystic: yup.
not8mihalis8boy: what?
WuseMajor: (WTF?)
not8mihalis8boy: (mmm...that was good fish)
not8mihalis8boy: (Paradox boon)
firelight mystic: I'm punching her in that area of the chest that'll
knock the wind out of you
firelight mystic: i think it's the solar plexus or something..........
firelight mystic: whatever
not8mihalis8boy: called shot for extra damage?
firelight mystic: yup
firelight mystic: willpower?
WuseMajor: (i would think that it would be a speed increase)
not8mihalis8boy: already spent your willpower
firelight mystic: (where did your sensei burn off to anyway?)
firelight mystic: okay.
not8mihalis8boy: (nah, she's angry)
firelight mystic: what's the diff?
not8mihalis8boy: (I figured it would be better to let
this play out without interference)
firelight mystic: okay
firelight mystic: diff?
not8mihalis8boy: diff 8
firelight mystic: (you realize we're going to keep going till one of us
is basically incapacitated
firelight mystic: damn
WuseMajor: ok i'm going to scan the area around the statue, then, if
there are no witnesses, i'm going to grab it
firelight mystic: what's the diff on an uncalled shot?
not8mihalis8boy: you already called it
firelight mystic: fine.
firelight mystic: so, strength and brawl?
not8mihalis8boy: no...just brawl
WuseMajor: (dex & brawl)
not8mihalis8boy: (she already used her dex on her
dodge)
WuseMajor: (oh)
firelight mystic: damn.
firelight mystic: (prays for one helluva good dice roll.)
not8mihalis8boy: (roll it, Wu; normally I wouldn't
make you, but with the waves, it's now
difficulty, umm...6)
WuseMajor: (what is your brawl?)
not8mihalis8boy: (you only need 1 success, though)
not8mihalis8boy: (3)
firelight mystic: (3)
WuseMajor: ok
not8mihalis8boy: successes?
WuseMajor: one exactly
not8mihalis8boy: I dodged 2
firelight mystic: (I'm going to pay for this lucky ass dice rollage with
one helluva of a botch later. I know it.)
WuseMajor: the fourtion die was a 4
firelight mystic: 3 sucesses
not8mihalis8boy: damn
not8mihalis8boy: you hit
not8mihalis8boy: roll damage
firelight mystic: strength plus what?
firelight mystic: or is it straight?
not8mihalis8boy: (okay...coast is clear, but reality is
starting to warp)
not8mihalis8boy: I'm giving her a 1point penalty
firelight mystic: for what?
WuseMajor: how hard would it be to get a good transport lock on
the statue?
WuseMajor: ()
not8mihalis8boy: for being stunned from your blow
not8mihalis8boy: you can't spend willpower on
initiative
firelight mystic: oh........
firelight mystic: well...............
not8mihalis8boy: that penalty if for ALLI
firelight mystic: score.
not8mihalis8boy: (no problem...but you have to go
there and back)
WuseMajor: (the plus 2)
firelight mystic: 10
not8mihalis8boy: (difficulty 9)
WuseMajor: (why do i have to be there?)
not8mihalis8boy: (because you can't teleport other
things until Connection 4)
not8mihalis8boy: 11
firelight mystic: So we're even
WuseMajor: (this should be somthing i can do with matter 2,
connection 3)
not8mihalis8boy: (how much willpower have you
spent? 2? or 3?)
firelight mystic: 2
not8mihalis8boy: (the 11 was after the penalty.
sorry)
firelight mystic: damn
WuseMajor: (i can trans port
not8mihalis8boy: (including the one you spent
outside?)
firelight mystic: oh.
firelight mystic: 3
not8mihalis8boy: (good point. If you add Matter,
yeah, you can do it)
not8mihalis8boy: (still difficulty 9, but you only have
to succeed once)
WuseMajor: (i can transport small things with a conjuctional effect
at connection2)
WuseMajor: (that is better)
firelight mystic: oh well.
WuseMajor: (well i'm going to try it)
not8mihalis8boy: (hey, do you think that using your
magick in a physical fight with a friend counts
as using them for evil?)
firelight mystic: (hmmmmmm.....only if i'm trying to kill them.)
not8mihalis8boy: (you need....2 successes because
you have a lock on it
WuseMajor: (if i'm lucky i'm only going to end up as big Washu...)
not8mihalis8boy: anyway, roll Dodge
firelight mystic: 3
WuseMajor: (spend will)
not8mihalis8boy: (have to declare it before)
not8mihalis8boy: 5
not8mihalis8boy: you get hit
firelight mystic: damn.
firelight mystic: Can I heal myself?
not8mihalis8boy: (She's channeling the Archangel
of War. What do you expect?)
not8mihalis8boy: yeah, after you soak
not8mihalis8boy: roll soak
WuseMajor: (i got no successes, fourtion die 1)
firelight mystic: damn.
firelight mystic: okay.
firelight mystic: can I add dex?
not8mihalis8boy: Allison waves her hand in a
cutting motion, and yells "Vade!" again
firelight mystic: BITCH
not8mihalis8boy: including fortune die and
willpower?
not8mihalis8boy: Only 3?
WuseMajor: now i am not going to try anything else techy in the
vicinaty untill tomorrow, at least.
firelight mystic: nope.
firelight mystic: that's not including the willpower.
firelight mystic: that's fou
not8mihalis8boy: sorry
not8mihalis8boy: she got exactly 4
not8mihalis8boy: Damn, I ROCK!
not8mihalis8boy: "No magick, bitch!"
firelight mystic: (I"M SORRY ALREADY!)
not8mihalis8boy: (BTW, you're NOT roleplaying your
charisma)
firelight mystic: BITCH?!
firelight mystic: (SHE'S PISSED)
not8mihalis8boy: (I can't wait for someone to make
a Paradox roll that DOESN'T get canceled)
WuseMajor: when i need to struggle that much to gain control of a
transmat, just to stop anything bad happening, it is time to stop
not8mihalis8boy: (yep)
not8mihalis8boy: so you're gonna sit in the hall and
worry?
not8mihalis8boy: good idea.
WuseMajor: more or less
firelight mystic: (can I use my fae birthright for the glared of
doom?)
not8mihalis8boy: you can try
not8mihalis8boy: what's the mechanic?
firelight mystic: (what's the diff?)
not8mihalis8boy: and remember, you're at -2 to all
dice pools
firelight mystic: (shit.)
not8mihalis8boy: (dunno, what's it say?)
firelight mystic: (willpower roll)
not8mihalis8boy: I AM impressed
firelight mystic: dont be.
firelight mystic: It's gonna come back on me later.
firelight mystic: it always does..........
not8mihalis8boy: I only got 3
not8mihalis8boy: (actually, 5, but 2 botches)
firelight mystic: wow
not8mihalis8boy: she laughs at you
WuseMajor: (it just occured to me. She still gets posessed with her
will?! Must be a very powerful creature.)
not8mihalis8boy: "FOOL! Don't you know that Do
what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law!"
not8mihalis8boy: (It's her Avatar. She can't help it.)
firelight mystic: alright, in normal english please?!
WuseMajor: (what about love concuring all?)
not8mihalis8boy: (You see why it upsets her so
much, though. She follows the Crowley
maxim.)
not8mihalis8boy: ("Do what thou wilt shall be the
whole of the law. Love is the law. Love under
will.")
not8mihalis8boy: (She just quoted the first half)
firelight mystic: (so, translation?)\
WuseMajor: (yeah, she can't)
WuseMajor: (and technically neither can he)
not8mihalis8boy: (it's a quote. Aleister Crowley.J)
firelight mystic: (okay.)
firelight mystic: (are you going to kill me?)
not8mihalis8boy: Anyway, any other actions?
WuseMajor: (her grandfather)
firelight mystic: (I'd lunge for her if I had the energy)
not8mihalis8boy: (what do you mean, "Are you
going to kill me?")
not8mihalis8boy: (was that in character, or out?)
firelight mystic: (I'm at five. If I go at you again, and take more
damage........)
firelight mystic: (out of character)
not8mihalis8boy: (it takes 8 to die....and the
penalty doesn't apply to Soak, either)
firelight mystic: oh.
not8mihalis8boy: (Only to physical actions)
not8mihalis8boy: Anyway, you just glare, and then
subside?
firelight mystic: yeah.
firelight mystic: (how beaten up am I)
firelight mystic: (Traci's tired at the moment.)
WuseMajor: (i just hope that this is the kind of battle that ends up
with both participands lying on the ground going
"I....*wheeze*...will...get...you....!)
firelight mystic: (Yeah. Ideally>)
not8mihalis8boy: "Bitch, am I? So's life. Get used to
it."
WuseMajor: (not my fight)
not8mihalis8boy: and she hits you again, with a
concentrated frown
firelight mystic: soak..............
firelight mystic: um....................3
firelight mystic: (damnit)
WuseMajor: (odd coincidence, if i had taken that caffeine addiction
i was thinking about, three things that would have described me
were height, weird, and caffeine
WuseMajor: )
not8mihalis8boy: (hehehe)
not8mihalis8boy: (very strange)
not8mihalis8boy: okay
firelight mystic: (scary)
not8mihalis8boy: roll soak
firelight mystic: (at penalty?)
not8mihalis8boy: damage is...only 1
not8mihalis8boy: no penalty
WuseMajor: (a frown, i thought she said no magic?)
firelight mystic: damnit
firelight mystic: it caught up to me.
not8mihalis8boy: (she did...you'll see)
not8mihalis8boy: botch?
firelight mystic: ALL ONE'S
not8mihalis8boy: that's okay
not8mihalis8boy: you can't botch soak, fortunately
firelight mystic: wel, and a two, but hell
WuseMajor: (orrrrrooooooooooo)
not8mihalis8boy: you lose 1 healh level
firelight mystic: I failed miserably.
firelight mystic: (Out of character, sorry)
not8mihalis8boy: ...and 1 Quintessence
not8mihalis8boy: (that's okay)
firelight mystic: (I lose a quintessence for what?)
not8mihalis8boy: You're down to Crippled, -5
not8mihalis8boy: (Mantis Strike)
not8mihalis8boy: (Does Strength damage, plus 1
Chi/Blood/Quintessence/Gnosis)
not8mihalis8boy: (She is currently channeling a
Kung Fu of 7)
firelight mystic: (alright, can I just gracefully pass out now?)
not8mihalis8boy: (you can collapse, but you don't
pass out until incapacitated :-D)
firelight mystic: I collapse
firelight mystic: (ooh....the humiliation...........)
LordStyphon01: (I mock you)
firelight mystic: (shut up)
not8mihalis8boy: she stares at you thoughtfully,
and mutters "Detexi Magnum"
LordStyphon01: (And no, I'm not back)
firelight mystic: (okay)
WuseMajor: (ah QueenStyphon01 is back!)
firelight mystic: (what's that do?)
not8mihalis8boy: "You still have a little magick left
in you. You have two choices. Submit to my
Will, or I will remove it."
firelight mystic: I'll never give up!
not8mihalis8boy: (but...she WOULDN'T DARE, would
she? She's not that POWERFUL.....is she?)
firelight mystic: (I"m not going to risk it.)
firelight mystic: I remain silent, my equivalent of surrender
WuseMajor: (removing the magic from you is spirit 5 if she is
theretining what it sounds like )
firelight mystic: (I know. That's why I'm worried!)
firelight mystic: (Damn you, David!)
firelight mystic: (Wait. no. I take it back.)
not8mihalis8boy: "You will swear to put the past
behind us, as the water runs under a bridge.
Forgive, forget, as if this had never been,
upon which we will both be the stronger for
it."
firelight mystic: (never mind)
firelight mystic: Traci: (weakly) I swear........
not8mihalis8boy: "Forgiveness is divine. We, as Magi,
must hold to a code of conduct higher than
others, for we have the power of Will."
not8mihalis8boy: she helps you up
WuseMajor: (long lecture)
firelight mystic: (I know)
not8mihalis8boy: "Can you stand? You'd better
heal the both of us."
WuseMajor: (and i think that both of you were responsible)
WuseMajor: (she can't)
not8mihalis8boy: (the weird thing is that that's not
the sort of thing either her OR Sammael
would say)
not8mihalis8boy: "God, I have such a headache.
Who did I channel?"
not8mihalis8boy: "It wasn't Sammael."
not8mihalis8boy: "I didn't recognize him, whoever it
was."
WuseMajor: (she can heal herself...)
firelight mystic: Traci: silent for a moment.
not8mihalis8boy: (Yeah, but Alli doesn't know that)
firelight mystic: Traci: well that explains why you didn't finish me off
WuseMajor: (sounds like some judo monk)
not8mihalis8boy: "Psh. I would never kill you. You're
my best friend."
LordStyphon01: (Shut up, WUSE boy, or I'll send you to the Steam
Tunnels)
not8mihalis8boy: (yeah. Or Aleister. :-D)
WuseMajor: (friends don't kill friends dead)
firelight mystic: You fight dirty as hell for a best friend
firelight mystic: (just incapacitated)
firelight mystic: I don't know if I can heal you.
firelight mystic: Shit, I don't know if I can even heal myself
not8mihalis8boy: (actually, you were only Mauled)
WuseMajor: (hey i'm the one with all of the old dungeon maps)
not8mihalis8boy: "That's okay. I'll be fine with a little
rest. Can you heal yourself? Try."
firelight mystic: (oh)
WuseMajor: (i wouldn't try it the reality cops don't give warnings)
firelight mystic: (fortune die 7)
firelight mystic: (what's the penalty?)
not8mihalis8boy: no penalty
firelight mystic: (kay)
not8mihalis8boy: but the difficulty is 8
firelight mystic: damn
WuseMajor: (WTF?)
firelight mystic: alright
not8mihalis8boy: and you only have 1 Quintessence
WuseMajor: (oh)
firelight mystic: (1?!? What happened to the rest?!)
not8mihalis8boy: (Life 2 + 4 for Vulgar, +2 for Waves)
not8mihalis8boy: (you spent it)
WuseMajor: (she is going to need to drain a node after this)
not8mihalis8boy: (spending 5 at a time makes 17
go quick)
WuseMajor: (yeah)
not8mihalis8boy: gonna spend it?
firelight mystic: I didn't spend that much
firelight mystic: and I wasn't spending five at a time.
firelight mystic: I'm down to four
firelight mystic: I've been tallying the whole while
not8mihalis8boy: (so have I...scroll up)
firelight mystic: There's is no way I spent 16 quint.
firelight mystic: I'm sorry.
not8mihalis8boy: (don't forget the 5 you spent
outside)
firelight mystic: and..............
not8mihalis8boy: and the 4 on the Time Spell
not8mihalis8boy: And the 1 from the Mantis Striked
not8mihalis8boy: Strike
firelight mystic: oh.
firelight mystic: I was wondering where that last one came from.
firelight mystic: damn
firelight mystic: fine.
firelight mystic: not spending it.
not8mihalis8boy: okay
firelight mystic: 1 sucess
not8mihalis8boy: (don't forget, you can spend
willpower, and you could do a ritual)
firelight mystic: (true...............)
firelight mystic: (point of willpower)
firelight mystic: (and the ritual aftereward.)
not8mihalis8boy: that heals 2
firelight mystic: so, how much more is left?
not8mihalis8boy: now, if you want to heal the other
3, difficulty is +1
not8mihalis8boy: sorry...other 4
firelight mystic: what about that ritual......
WuseMajor: (yeah take off all your clothing and dance while carving
yourself up)
firelight mystic: (umm.............)
not8mihalis8boy: the ritual lets you roll for multiple
turns
firelight mystic: let's go for it.
WuseMajor: (you are a verbena, right?)
firelight mystic: (right. But not all Verbena carve themselves up)
not8mihalis8boy: successes are cumulative, if you
fail a roll, difficulty on later rolls is +1, you have
to declare the number of rounds first
firelight mystic: (it's a stereotype)
not8mihalis8boy: (actually, many do...but you just
grasp the pendant)
WuseMajor: (yeah i know, just messing with you)
not8mihalis8boy: and if you botch on a roll, the
whole thing fails
WuseMajor: (sorry if i offend)
not8mihalis8boy: how many rounds?
not8mihalis8boy: (oh, and it's 1 Paradox/round)
not8mihalis8boy: (which is why Mages tend to
avoid it)
firelight mystic: (nope, you didn't)
firelight mystic: (3 rounds)
firelight mystic: hold on a sex
firelight mystic: sec
firelight mystic: sorry
not8mihalis8boy: your freudian slip is showing
firelight mystic: oh damn
not8mihalis8boy: (thinking of someone in
particular? :D)
firelight mystic: sorry
firelight mystic: shut up
firelight mystic: now about this ritual
firelight mystic: 3 rounds
not8mihalis8boy: I screwed up
not8mihalis8boy: You don't have to declare
duration beforehand
not8mihalis8boy: You just roll til you succeed
not8mihalis8boy: plus you can spend a willpower point and a
round plus you lose one success if you botch but it keeps
going
firelight mystic has left the room.
firelight mystic has entered the room. firelight mystic: sorry
firelight mystic: network burp
not8mihalis8boy: It's okay
not8mihalis8boy: not your fault, and...
not8mihalis8boy: HEY! I FIXED MY FONT SIZE!!!
not8mihalis8boy: Yay!
firelight mystic: cool.
not8mihalis8boy: Now I'm normal
firelight mystic: back to the ritual?
not8mihalis8boy: Anyway, roll the ritual while I make cereal
WuseMajor: (thats debatable)
firelight mystic: what do I roll exactly?
WuseMajor: your arete a bunch of times
firelight mystic: okay.
firelight mystic: diff?
WuseMajor: i think
firelight mystic: what's the diff?
firelight mystic: hold on a bit....................
WuseMajor: should be 8
WuseMajor: brb
firelight mystic: back
WuseMajor: b
not8mihalis8boy: difficulty is 9
not8mihalis8boy: because she's healing herself AGAIN
firelight mystic: damn
firelight mystic: rolling............
firelight mystic: 1
not8mihalis8boy: you only need 4 successes
firelight mystic: 1sucess
firelight mystic: next round?
not8mihalis8boy: (At this point, Wu, you see that weird woman
who's name you didn't catch coming down the hall with the
statue floating behind her)
not8mihalis8boy: total of 2?
firelight mystic: yup
firelight mystic: next round.
not8mihalis8boy: yup
firelight mystic: nothing.
firelight mystic: not a botch, though
not8mihalis8boy: hang on
not8mihalis8boy: that's what I thought
not8mihalis8boy: the difficulty is now 10!
firelight mystic: damn
firelight mystic: don't wanna spend any more willpower
not8mihalis8boy: sure you don't want to spend that
Quintessence?
WuseMajor: "i did end up trying to get it but i didn't think it would
work because there are too many reality anomallies to get a good
lock on it."
firelight mystic: yup.
not8mihalis8boy: yeah..you're down to 3 will
firelight mystic: um.............1 sucesses
WuseMajor: "and i barely avoided a problem."
firelight mystic: (whew)
not8mihalis8boy: (telepathically) "It is alright. I think that it is
best that I left them alone for a while."
not8mihalis8boy: (did you spend the Quintessence or not?)
firelight mystic: (nope)
firelight mystic: (just damned lucky)
not8mihalis8boy: 'kay
firelight mystic: next round.
WuseMajor: "i think so too."
not8mihalis8boy: you need one more
firelight mystic: zilch
not8mihalis8boy: and remember, if you botch, it all fails
not8mihalis8boy: okay
not8mihalis8boy: difficulty is now 11
firelight mystic: I'll just stop now.
firelight mystic: I mostly healed.
not8mihalis8boy: yep
firelight mystic: try again later, you know
not8mihalis8boy: you're bruised
WuseMajor: (how does that work?)
WuseMajor: (diff 11 i mean)
not8mihalis8boy: (what? difficulty 11? you have to spend
Quintessence or stop)
WuseMajor: ah
not8mihalis8boy: (you can't attempt anything with a difficulty
higher than 10)
not8mihalis8boy: "I'm sorry."
firelight mystic: I'm sorry. I guess I should watch what I say.
not8mihalis8boy: "Now, where's..."
not8mihalis8boy: Yin Yang enters the room
not8mihalis8boy: "Oh."
not8mihalis8boy: The statue is floating along behind her
firelight mystic: arches an eyebrow
WuseMajor: i come in as well
firelight mystic: Where were you two?
not8mihalis8boy: (BTW, Mike, remember that Wu's Nature is
Caregiver)
not8mihalis8boy: (tp) "I had to get the statue, since Wu here
decided not to."
firelight mystic: stiffles chuckle
WuseMajor: (with some of the arch-spheres, you get a base diff of
over 10 after that it just requires 1 more success for a basic roll for
every additional diff after 10
WuseMajor: )
firelight mystic: So, what now?
not8mihalis8boy: (tp) Now, to business: What did you find out
about the statue?
WuseMajor: "i tried, i just couldn't get a good lock what with all of
the reality quakes"
not8mihalis8boy: <tp> Oh, yes. HackTerra. They should be
arriving any minute.
not8mihalis8boy: (tp to Wu) You only tried after they started.
firelight mystic: HackTerra?
not8mihalis8boy: (tp to Wu) Do, or do not. There is no try.
WuseMajor: Thinks 'yes, well...'
not8mihalis8boy: "They're some people Wu looked up,
supposed to help us."
WuseMajor: thinks 'ok, yoda'
not8mihalis8boy: "Well? What's it look like outside?"
WuseMajor: "yes and are they going to come here or do we need
to go to the needle?"
not8mihalis8boy: (tp to Wu) --slams all of Star Wars 4-6 into
your head, compressed into a 3 second burst--
WuseMajor: "ow"
not8mihalis8boy: (ow)
not8mihalis8boy: Wu starts clutching her head and moaning
not8mihalis8boy: (the headache passes)
firelight mystic: what was that all about?
not8mihalis8boy: (but you are left with the faint desire to talk
like Yoda.;-))
firelight mystic: Wu?
WuseMajor: i need to remember: arguing with anything that much
more powerful than you makes you a stupid asshole.
firelight mystic: (knowingly) ooohhh....
WuseMajor: ""
firelight mystic: give YinYang wary glance
not8mihalis8boy: (hell, arguing with anyone who looks like
THAT makes you stupid)
firelight mystic: (damn straight)
WuseMajor: (point)
not8mihalis8boy: (tp) You should check outside, to see if your
informants have arrived
WuseMajor: (especially in mage)
firelight mystic: (definately)
WuseMajor: "ok"
not8mihalis8boy: (yeah...can you imagine how much
accumulated paradox that represents?)
firelight mystic: (I'm worried about the garou, myself)
not8mihalis8boy: (that was aggravated damage; they're dead)
firelight mystic: (someone, or something's bound to find out)
not8mihalis8boy: (not that that's reassuring, necessarily)
firelight mystic: (I mean, I wasted a pack of Garou.......)
WuseMajor: "however because reallity has been broken enough, i'm
going to have to do this the old fashoned way."
firelight mystic: wasn't my fault
not8mihalis8boy: ()
WuseMajor: (or how much not careing about 'dox that represents..)
WuseMajor: "is it still dangerous out there?"
not8mihalis8boy: (there's also this: if it's affected her body so
much, how much has it affected the _rest_ of her)
firelight mystic: (uh oh...........)
WuseMajor: "i can't go out if there are still cops around."
firelight mystic: look guys, I've got to bail, alright?
not8mihalis8boy: how come?
firelight mystic: class tomorrow
WuseMajor: (point that may have been a he once...)
firelight mystic: (damn)
not8mihalis8boy: Wait until you've had the chance to rest
firelight mystic: Mike, did you need something?
firelight mystic: cool.
firelight mystic: (how do I go about recovering quint.. by the way?)
not8mihalis8boy: Like the upcoming plane ride....<evil grin>
not8mihalis8boy: (meditating in a node)
firelight mystic: hmmmmmmm...............
firelight mystic: anything else?
not8mihalis8boy: (max of 5, plus the 1 Tass you have left)
not8mihalis8boy: (nope)
firelight mystic: the park counts, right?
not8mihalis8boy: (And Willpower is regained at the rate of
1/morning, or whenever you Survive)
not8mihalis8boy: (yeah, if you can avoid the....entanglements)
firelight mystic: (oh damn.................)
not8mihalis8boy: (That was only SIX Garou)
firelight mystic: well, that's my ass
not8mihalis8boy: (Wu has a Node, though)
firelight mystic: cool.
WuseMajor: david will you just e-mail me with my accumilated xp,
don't worry i want to buy a point in connection next so this is just
kind of academic and for feedback purposes
not8mihalis8boy: It's 9
firelight mystic: what about me?
WuseMajor: (you could always try to get some from central
park:-D)
firelight mystic: (HELL NO!)
not8mihalis8boy: see you later
firelight mystic: bye
WuseMajor: respectivally?
not8mihalis8boy: yep
firelight mystic has left the room.
not8mihalis8boy: Ben only got the fifth because he showed up
today
WuseMajor: ah
not8mihalis8boy: And Alli has....9
WuseMajor: oh there was somthing i wanted to ask you about
not8mihalis8boy: everyone got 4 first session (you and Ben
failed Action, Cory failed Intelligence, and I failed Humor)
not8mihalis8boy: This time, Alicia failed Intelligence, and you
and me both got all five
WuseMajor: (i'm not a fighter)
not8mihalis8boy: I think
not8mihalis8boy: (I know...but Action isn't combat. It's
DOING something)
WuseMajor: ah
not8mihalis8boy: (I'm not sure if I earned Intelligence this time
WuseMajor: tell me if you revise it
not8mihalis8boy: And to date, no-one has failed roleplaying
not8mihalis8boy: I award Automatic, Action, Intelligence,
Roleplaying, and Humor
not8mihalis8boy: nono, you have 9
not8mihalis8boy: I'm just not sure if I have 9 or 8
WuseMajor: i have been trying but i wasn't sure i was succeding
not8mihalis8boy: what do you think?
not8mihalis8boy: Yeah, but I'm giving you a warning: you're
not really playing Caregiver. You're roleplaying your
personality, but not your Nature.
WuseMajor: well you definatly have action
WuseMajor: roleplaying seems ok
not8mihalis8boy: And if you're trying to copy Washu instead of
mimic, you're not quite smarmy enough ;-)
WuseMajor: yea i know
not8mihalis8boy: what about my Intelligence this time? Did I
come up with any good ideas?
WuseMajor: i really need to rent the second half of the oav series
again
not8mihalis8boy: hehehe
not8mihalis8boy: You just need to buy Tenchi Muyo
not8mihalis8boy: And the first couple of movies
not8mihalis8boy: uh....lessee.....one and two...you can skip
three
not8mihalis8boy: (have you seen movie three?)
WuseMajor: carolyn owns all three
WuseMajor: yes
not8mihalis8boy: oh...wait....The explanation of The War. I
think that qualifies me for the Intelligence point. What do you
think? That, and the possessed wisdom
not8mihalis8boy: (forgiveness, etc.)
not8mihalis8boy: hurry up, so I can save this and we can chat
WuseMajor: plus you did blow up that swat van
WuseMajor: i think you learned somthing
not8mihalis8boy: yeah, but I don't award for learning
WuseMajor: you should
not8mihalis8boy: And if you think blowing up the swat van was
a good idea, then Alicia has 5
WuseMajor: isn't that what the points are all about
WuseMajor: ?
not8mihalis8boy: I replace learning with humor
not8mihalis8boy: because learning is SO hard to earn
not8mihalis8boy: and you wind up coming up with lame excuses
not8mihalis8boy: about what your character learned
not8mihalis8boy: Learning changes your character without xp
WuseMajor: you are a nuwisha!
not8mihalis8boy: Something like that
not8mihalis8boy: But yes, I was thinking when I laid down how
I was gonna award xp that it was like Nuwish renown
not8mihalis8boy: Cleverness, Humor, and ?
not8mihalis8boy: Glory
not8mihalis8boy: Wisdom, Humor, and Glory
not8mihalis8boy: plus Roleplay and Participation (Automatic)
WuseMajor: but that interpretation of the cause of the war seems
like it should be worth a point
not8mihalis8boy: So, Cory has 4, Alicia and Ben have 5, and
you and I have 9?
