Allison Crowley says:
You know, you can change your name so there's a space instead of an underscore
Lady_Starfire says:
I know
  
  Wuse Major has been added to the conversation.
  
Allison Crowley says:
So
Allison Crowley says:
To recap
Lady_Starfire says:
yup?

Allison Crowley says:
last time, after everything got screwed up with AIM, we moved to MSN IM
Wuse Major says:
yes
Allison Crowley says:
There, I told you that in order to unweave the Paradox Warding without destroying the Realm, we each had to solve a puzzle
Lady_Starfire says:
yup
Wuse Major says:
one thing though
Allison Crowley says:
I gave each of you a puzzle, and Michael gave me one
Allison Crowley says:
I'm recapping because I didn't save any of that conversation, which was, after all, mostly out-of-game anyway and experience spending
Wuse Major says:
about xp...
Wuse Major says:
i had a question
Allison Crowley says:
Everyone got to spend xp to represent the fact that they're in a massive library, and just soul-melded with each other, plus channeling old Mages
Allison Crowley says:
What's your question?
Wuse Major says:
i wanted to know when it says current rating on the xp table does it mean the rating after you put the new dot in or before?
Allison Crowley says:
before
Allison Crowley says:
Unfortunately, Allison's Immolation spell was slowly ticking down, and if they hadn't unraveled the Warding in an hour (solved the puzzles by this session), she was gonna have to unweave THAT, thereby dropping them right back amongst the Vampires, none the worse for wear except lacking a door and an Immolation spell--i.e. completely defenseless
Lady_Starfire says:
oh dear
Allison Crowley says:
Now, I solved MY puzzle
Allison Crowley says:
It was "What is a blackball's alignment?"
Allison Crowley says:
The answer being "Neutral"
Allison Crowley says:
An old D&D-related question
Allison Crowley says:
Anybody ELSE solve their puzzle?
Lady_Starfire says:
I plead the 5th
Wuse Major says:
i had a copule of questions first
Allison Crowley says:
This has nothing to do with "thou shalt not incriminate thyself, for lo, it is very stupid"
Lady_Starfire says:
lol
Allison Crowley says:
(the 5th commandment ^_^)
Lady_Starfire says:
seriously, I could use a little bit of a hint myself
Allison Crowley says:
what do you want to know?
Wuse Major says:
if you need it now, then i cant tell you
Allison Crowley says:
what are your couple of questions?
Allison Crowley says:
I gave you enough hints for a blind man to figure it out, Michael
Allison Crowley says:
I even told you the answer (just not how to say it)
Allison Crowley says:
Alicia, I couldn't FIND you all week. Sorry.
Lady_Starfire says:
I understand
Lady_Starfire says:
I was busy as hell.
Lady_Starfire says:
10 (yes 10) major papers and 3 exams
Allison Crowley says:
heh
Allison Crowley says:
I worked over 40 hours
Lady_Starfire says:
that's nothing to laugh at
Allison Crowley says:
And I STILL have to work TOMORROW
Wuse Major says:
you had said to look for the level between assembley and the programming languages.  I checked some sources and i don't think there is one.
Allison Crowley says:
I didn't say between assembly and programmer languages, although yes there is, and yes, that's what it is
Allison Crowley says:
It's also an artform
Allison Crowley says:
which is a hint for both of you, since if Michael would look, he'd realize that both of you have essentially the same encryption
Lady_Starfire says:
dang
Allison Crowley says:
So, do you both give up?
Lady_Starfire says:
no
Lady_Starfire says:
I just have no idea how to even start
Allison Crowley says:
Well, good
Allison Crowley says:
I won't tell you
Allison Crowley says:
But IN game...
Lady_Starfire says:
alright....
Allison Crowley says:
Allison: "Guys, I've got my part done. How are you doing?"
Allison Crowley says:
"We're running out of time..."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Not too good."
Wuse Major says:
"still working..."
Allison Crowley says:
"Damn. We've got less than 5 minutes. How much progress have you made?"
Allison Crowley says:
<goes over and looks>
Allison Crowley says:
"SWEET JESUS!"
Lady_Starfire says:
"what?"
Allison Crowley says:
"I thought you were supposed to be a genius, Wu! You're less than halfway through!"
Allison Crowley says:
"I'm gonna have to unravel the Immolation spell....not good."
Allison Crowley says:
"What about you, Traci?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"I'd be able to figure it out in know time if I could just figure out where to start."
Wuse Major says:
(are you talking about fortran?)
Allison Crowley says:
"You haven't started???"
Allison Crowley says:
(no)
Allison Crowley says:
"Alright, that's it. I'm unraveling the spell. It's better than being set on fire while you guys try to stall. You're not gonna make it."
Allison Crowley says:
<mutters> "I can't believe I'm the only one who did it....and I've been done for 20 minutes...."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Thank you so much for saying that. I feel better about myself already."
Allison Crowley says:
"Sorry."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Don't worry about it. How much time do we have?"
Allison Crowley says:
"It'll take me at least 3 minutes to unravel this, and we've only got 4 left. Be quiet, please."
Allison Crowley says:
<sits down and starts to unravel, strands of visible magic whipping about>
Wuse Major says:
i stop work and start the preliminary programming for overcharging my grav anomaly.
Allison Crowley says:
okay
Allison Crowley says:
"Done."
Allison Crowley says:
And with that, the wall start to fade to mist
Allison Crowley says:
...
Wuse Major says:
after i finish with that i'm going to take very good spatial readings of this room
Allison Crowley says:
okay
Wuse Major says:
when we are back in normal space
Allison Crowley says:
You find yourself in the library surrounded by vampires
Allison Crowley says:
everybody, roll surprise
Lady_Starfire says:
Diff what?
Allison Crowley says:
(Wits + Alertness, difficulty 7)
Wuse Major says:
(1 sucess)
Lady_Starfire says:
(ummm......this sux. I think I botched. ALL 1's except for a 3 and a 8, my only success.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(yup, that's a botch)
Wuse Major says:
(next roll is for the scores of your next character...)
Allison Crowley says:
(how many 1s?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I knew I'd pay for all the luck I was having...)
Allison Crowley says:
(hehehe)
Lady_Starfire says:
(3)
Allison Crowley says:
Okay
Lady_Starfire says:
(I don't wanna die...)
Wuse Major says:
(we are so dead...)
Allison Crowley says:
Traci, you cannot Dodge this round
Allison Crowley says:
You can only Soak
Lady_Starfire says:
(Oh shit)
Lady_Starfire says:
(can I heal myself, too?)
Allison Crowley says:
You are sitting there, looking around, and going Oh, shit.....
Lady_Starfire says:
(joy.)
Allison Crowley says:
(no, you can't do anything but Soak this turn....not even reflexive magic....OW)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I'm blaming all of this on you...)
Wuse Major says:
(ow?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(it's gonna hurt. )
Allison Crowley says:
Wu, Allison, roll initiative
Allison Crowley says:
(Wits + Dexterity + 1d10)
Lady_Starfire says:
(can't I even run and hide?!?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(no, don't answer that. I already know...)
Allison Crowley says:
(You're SURPRISED....like stunned)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I know. I would like to take this moment to say...D'OH!)\
Allison Crowley says:
I got 11
Allison Crowley says:
Vamps got 9 (I just rolled 2d10 for them)
Allison Crowley says:
Wu?
Wuse Major says:
(diff?)
Allison Crowley says:
(not a diff....see above)
Wuse Major says:
(oh)
Lady_Starfire says:
(starts praying to all the deities she knows...except Lucifer.)
Wuse Major says:
(12)
Allison Crowley says:
(And I'm not gonna be nice because the DM being mean is what HAPPENS when you owe him TWENTY XP!)
Allison Crowley says:
You go first
Allison Crowley says:
What to you do?
Lady_Starfire says:
(D'OH!)
Wuse Major says:
i run for cover
Allison Crowley says:
what cover?
Wuse Major says:
any cover
Lady_Starfire says:
(we're screwed, aren't we?)
Allison Crowley says:
There is no cover
Allison Crowley says:
There's a half dozen vampires in the room, looking around
Wuse Major says:
then i start running
Allison Crowley says:
where to?
Allison Crowley says:
the door?
Lady_Starfire says:
(wanna grab me along the way?)
Wuse Major says:
or are they bettween me and the door?
Wuse Major says:
(str 1)
Allison Crowley says:
yes
Allison Crowley says:
Wu, as you look around wildly, you see Allison take on a look of concentration.....
Wuse Major says:
in that case i think i may be in enogh trouble for my latent martial arts knowledge to surface...
Lady_Starfire says:
(please let her go insane and kill everything in the room except us...)
Allison Crowley says:
Roll Past Life
Allison Crowley says:
(She bought that off, actually)
Wuse Major says:
(diif?)
Allison Crowley says:
(just wait and see...Allison may earn BEAUCOUP xp)
Wuse Major says:
(diff)
Allison Crowley says:
Like all Past Life rolls, it's difficulty 8
Wuse Major says:
(1)
Lady_Starfire says:
(why do I feel like my current life is going to become a past life if this doesn't work?)
Allison Crowley says:
While you channel, the room is covered in shadow as the lamps flare and burst into flame
Wuse Major says:
(greate it is what i would have had anyway...)
Allison Crowley says:
(no, that's EXTRA dice)
Wuse Major says:
(oh? cool)
Lady_Starfire says:
(pretty....)
Wuse Major says:
(hey she can create sunlight, right?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(true...)
Allison Crowley says:
Allison spreads her arm wide, and chants "Fiat Ignis! Diabolus, NE Ignis! Diabolus, Magnus! Diabolus, Vitae! Fiat Ignis Magnus!!!"
Allison Crowley says:
(hang on....must roll)
Allison Crowley says:
(this is COMPLICATED)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I see...)
Wuse Major says:
(i know kung fu...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(good for you, Neo.)
Wuse Major says:
i take a ready stance
Lady_Starfire says:
(and I'm still looking stupid?)
Allison Crowley says:
(okay.....channeled....3 dice into Occult)
Allison Crowley says:
(hang on)
Wuse Major says:
(this may be dangerous...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(to us or them?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(or all of the above?)
Allison Crowley says:
(12 dice, difficulty 5)
Wuse Major says:
(i hope it is dangerous to them...)
Allison Crowley says:
(12 successes after specialization)
Wuse Major says:
( i fear that it is dangerous to us...)
Allison Crowley says:
(difficulty becomes -7, ignoring the max of -3 to difficulty)
Allison Crowley says:
(Michael, what do you do with a spell difficulty of -7?)
Wuse Major says:
(*vash voice* scary!)
Lady_Starfire says:
(OH GOD_)
Allison Crowley says:
(I roll 6 dice, difficulty -7, and add one for Self-Confident)
Wuse Major says:
(cast the biggest one you can because you will get all sucsesses...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(won't that fry us, though?)
Allison Crowley says:
(But does it add successes?)
Allison Crowley says:
(nope....read the chant...it fries everthing that doesn't have an Awakened Avatar....like I said, COMPLICATED)
Lady_Starfire says:
(..........)
Allison Crowley says:
(I think I'm gonna say that everything is a success, and add 8 successes to raise difficulty to 1, the inverse of the rule for difficulties over 10)
Allison Crowley says:
Which means....she rolled....
Allison Crowley says:
15 successes, Fortune Die 10
Allison Crowley says:
She claps her hands together, and a ring of fire explodes from her hands
Wuse Major says:
(well with the archspheres every level you go over 10 for diff requires another succes for basic effect...)
Wuse Major says:
(it might work the other way...)
Allison Crowley says:
Every Vampire in the room goes up in flames as they take 45 levels of Aggravated damage
Lady_Starfire says:
((AGH)!!!!!!!!!)
Allison Crowley says:
There are a half dozen piles of ash in the room
Lady_Starfire says:
(glad I'm not a vamp...)
Wuse Major says:
(ow.)
Allison Crowley says:
Allison opens an eye, looking around
Lady_Starfire says:
"................................wow........................."
Allison Crowley says:
"Did it work?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"you could say that...."
Wuse Major says:
"thank you."
Allison Crowley says:
(I want bonus xp!)
Wuse Major says:
"yes."
Allison Crowley says:
"Umm....I think we'd better go outside....NOW."
Lady_Starfire says:
"No arguments there."
Allison Crowley says:
"I don't know if that will affect humans......"
Wuse Major says:
(i think that we will give it to you)
Wuse Major says:
"wait a sec!"
Lady_Starfire says:
"What?"
Allison Crowley says:
(By the way, the 12 dice which dropped the difficulty from 5 to -7 was Occult, using the rules for Abilities enhancing Magic)
Allison Crowley says:
( )
Wuse Major says:
"i had an ephiny while we were linked."
Allison Crowley says:
"Yeah....we're still linked.
Allison Crowley says:
But I, for one, want to make sure I didn't just wipe out the city...."
Lady_Starfire says:
"That wouldn't be good on our resumes..."
Allison Crowley says:
"The shockwave will travel for MILES, killing anything that doesn't have an inner Demon....an Avatar."
Allison Crowley says:
"I don't know if it will affect people with merely SLEEPING Avatars."
Wuse Major says:
"i think i have figured out how to increase the size of my grav anomaly."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Hmmmmmmm......."
Allison Crowley says:
<Allison runs out of the room>
Wuse Major says:
"i think we should check..."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Hey!"
Lady_Starfire says:
<runs after her>
Wuse Major says:
*goes after*
Lady_Starfire says:
(follow the leader, anyone?)
Wuse Major says:
(are we going to have to wait another day to use magic, if we don't want arnold to be back?)
Allison Crowley says:
(I'm gonna be nice since I DID roll 10 on Fortune die...it just killed every Vampire, Materialized or Possessing spirit, Wraith, and Changeling in the districe)
Allison Crowley says:
(no)
Allison Crowley says:
(That was only one spell....)
Wuse Major says:
(hey i like changlings...)
Allison Crowley says:
Outside, you see cars driving down the street, as normal
Allison Crowley says:
(True...but they ARE abnormal spirits)
Lady_Starfire says:
(not cool....I liked the Changelings too...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(not necessarily...)
Allison Crowley says:
(It's only a district....and how many Changelings were hanging out near The Prince's place, anyway?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(by those rules, we're abnormal spirits too.)
Wuse Major says:
(i don't know if wraths are abnromal spirits...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(unless they're Unseelie....none. Fine...)
Allison Crowley says:
(nope...we're Awakened.....)
Wuse Major says:
(point...)
Allison Crowley says:
(And Wraiths have no Avatar.)
Wuse Major says:
(point)
Allison Crowley says:
(Humans have sleeping Avatars, and Garou have very strong Avatars)
Allison Crowley says:
(Vampires are soulless, and Changelings have somethine ELSE instead of an Avatar....a Changeling soul)
Wuse Major says:
(just pointed it another direction...)
Wuse Major says:
(in)
Allison Crowley says:
"Whew"
Wuse Major says:
"yay."
Lady_Starfire says:
(kay. I just don't feel like arguing....)
Wuse Major says:
"so do we keep the house?"
Allison Crowley says:
"I'm am DEFINITELY remembering that."
Wuse Major says:
"or just the books?"
Allison Crowley says:
(I am)
Lady_Starfire says:
(blagh)
Allison Crowley says:
"Whole thing, I think. Didn't you just say something relevant?"
Wuse Major says:
"tone it down a bit next time though..."
Allison Crowley says:
I was desperate
Wuse Major says:
"don't want to accidentally kill someone."
Allison Crowley says:
I didn't expect to summon THAT Demon
Lady_Starfire says:
"I noticed."
Lady_Starfire says:
"DEMON?!?"
Wuse Major says:
"and i did say somthing relivent
Allison Crowley says:
"Yeah. My magic IS demonic."
Lady_Starfire says:
*glare*
Lady_Starfire says:
"I'm not going to say anything at the moment, but just you wait..."
Allison Crowley says:
"What??"
Allison Crowley says:
<shakes head, turns to Wu>
Allison Crowley says:
"Now, what was it that you said?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"feh."
Lady_Starfire says:
*turns to Wu*
Wuse Major says:
"oh, i just think i figured out a few of the problems i was having with power and... other side effects with my grav anomaly."
Lady_Starfire says:
(question--do I know what she's talking about now?)
Allison Crowley says:
"And?"
Allison Crowley says:
(yes)
Lady_Starfire says:
(Good...Roleplaying ignorance is annoying sometimes....)
Wuse Major says:
"i think i may be able to bend space enough to create a perminant bubble of warped space."
Allison Crowley says:
"A wormhole?"
Wuse Major says:
"well, yes, but i was thinking of somthing a bit more ambitious..."
Wuse Major says:
"i think i might be able to put an area outside of space."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Like a horizon realm?"
Wuse Major says:
"kind of."
Allison Crowley says:
"Like....damn. Beat me to it."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Great minds, you know..."
Lady_Starfire says:
"That's a great idea. But how would we protect it?"
Allison Crowley says:
"....I think I could work something out."
Wuse Major says:
"it shouldn't need protection.  it is just a bubble of space removed from interaction with it's suroundings..."
Lady_Starfire says:
"But others are capable of going to horizon realms as well. If they happened to stumble across ours..."
Wuse Major says:
"i had been planning to do this with my lab when i had gotten the kniks worked out..."
Lady_Starfire says:
"even worse, the Technocracy does look for places like this..."
Wuse Major says:
"it won't be out there.  It isn't actually anywhere."
Allison Crowley says:
<ahem>
Lady_Starfire says:
"Yes?"
Wuse Major says:
"well i suppose i could warp space on venus or somthing."
Wuse Major says:
"yes?"
Allison Crowley says:
"I could code that spell to our specific Demon patterns with very little work."
Wuse Major says:
"you mean the gateway?"
Allison Crowley says:
"No. The spell I just cast."
Wuse Major says:
"oh?"
Wuse Major says:
"you mean make it a perminant effect in our realm?"
Allison Crowley says:
"Not permanent. It would just last a VERY long time."
Wuse Major says:
"ah"
Allison Crowley says:
"Think the lifespan of a major demon is long enough?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"Give or take a few thousand years..."
Wuse Major says:
"depends. what IS the lifespane of a major deamon?"
Wuse Major says:
lifespan
Allison Crowley says:
"Dunno. None of them have died of natural causes yet."
Wuse Major says:
"ah"
Wuse Major says:
"in that case..."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Code away."
Wuse Major says:
"i think i'm going to want to do this from my lab."
Allison Crowley says:
"Let's move your lab to the compound."
Wuse Major says:
"and then move the compund?"
Wuse Major says:
compound
Allison Crowley says:
"Yes. I would point out that the compound has foot thick stone walls, and is completely impervious to sunlight. It also has a LOT of security cameras."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Makes you feel all safe and secure...like a max security penitentary
Allison Crowley says:
"Heh."
Wuse Major says:
"i feel that i should mention that this city had a couple of princes fighting over it..."
Allison Crowley says:
"Yeah, and one of them's dead. Wanna collect a reward?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"No."  
Allison Crowley says:
"That's what I thought."
Allison Crowley says:
"So lets get to work. We're wanted criminals, remember?"
Wuse Major says:
"and based on what i saw of the one we killed the other one is probably of the type that like destroying humans..."
Wuse Major says:
"yeah."
Allison Crowley says:
"Wu, transport? We'll want to go to each of our places of residence and pick up our stuff."
Wuse Major says:
(david can i go to my place and transport them from there?)
Allison Crowley says:
(Yes)
Wuse Major says:
"ok. it will be easyer if i do it from my lab. then i don't have these banwidth limits..."
Allison Crowley says:
"Right. So transport to your lab, then to and from our places?"
Allison Crowley says:
"Then collect everything, including your lab, and 'port back here?"
Allison Crowley says:
"Before we leave, where do you want to put your lab?"
Lady_Starfire says:
(you were crashing with me, right?)
Allison Crowley says:
(nope...she was crashing with Wu...and now she has a place in the Met basement)
Lady_Starfire says:
(ah...)
Wuse Major says:
(ok roll 5 dice what diff?) 
Allison Crowley says:
( 8 )
Allison Crowley says:
(damn emoticons....parentheses 8 gets me EVERY time)
Lady_Starfire says:
(heh)
Wuse Major says:
(ok)
Wuse Major says:
(two succeses, nothing abnromal on the fourtune die)
Wuse Major says:
(did i make it home?)
Allison Crowley says:
(barely)
Lady_Starfire says:
(as long as she gets there...)
Wuse Major says:
(now i'm going to transport one at a time)
Wuse Major says:
(i'm going to spend will)
Lady_Starfire says:
(kay)
Allison Crowley says:
(okay...)
Allison Crowley says:
(gotta love Self-Confident...I spend Will on ALL my magic rolls....)
Wuse Major says:
(what is the reduction for being in a sanctum?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(bah)
Wuse Major says:
(i should as well, i just don't always remember)
Allison Crowley says:
(-4 difficulty)
Wuse Major says:
(so diff four?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(cool)
Allison Crowley says:
(yes)
Lady_Starfire says:
(wish everything were that easy...)
Allison Crowley says:
(oh, and after today, NEVER complain about me twinking <g>)
Allison Crowley says:
(you need 4 successes each)
Wuse Major says:
(can i make a tech roll to further reduce diff?)
Wuse Major says:
(or should i do sceince?)
Wuse Major says:
(science)
Wuse Major says:
(or will that make it take too long?)
Allison Crowley says:
(you could do cartography)
Allison Crowley says:
(or something similar)
Wuse Major says:
(you mean analize the locations?)
Allison Crowley says:
(the reason I let Allison do Occult is not because she was summoning a Demon, but because she had to quickly figure out a way to tag Avatars)
Allison Crowley says:
yep
Allison Crowley says:
(Correspondence 1 drops the required number of successes)
Wuse Major says:
(would that be connection 2?)
Wuse Major says:
(ah)
Wuse Major says:
(make 2 connection 1 rolls?)
Allison Crowley says:
(yes....if you succeed at getting 4 successes on them, the transport only requires 3 successes)
Wuse Major says:
(ok)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I'm still here. Not really doing anything though)
Allison Crowley says:
(feh)
Wuse Major says:
(and the diff on a connection one roll is 0 in a sanctum right?)
Allison Crowley says:
(We're going and getting our stuff)
Wuse Major says:
(or is it one?)
Allison Crowley says:
(Um....zero...which makes it difficulty 1, and plus 1 success)
Wuse Major says:
(ok)
Wuse Major says:
(7 and 7)
Allison Crowley says:
(okay...now roll the transports)
Wuse Major says:
(ok)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I know. I'm not doing anything while Wu's gone, though)
Allison Crowley says:
(And Alicia....that's TWICE you've escaped Certain Doom. Relax.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(cool.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(hope that doesn't catch up to me, either...)
Wuse Major says:
(4 and 5)
Allison Crowley says:
(gone? She's transported us to her lab, and is now opening wormholes to out places so we can get all our stuff)
Allison Crowley says:
(made it)
Allison Crowley says:
An hour later, everyone has their stuff in Wu's lab
Allison Crowley says:
And the ripples have died down
Allison Crowley says:
Allison was done fairly quickly, not having much stuff
Wuse Major says:
"getting kind of cramped in here..."
Allison Crowley says:
And has spent the last 20 minutes in the corner, muttering to herself
Wuse Major says:
(i only have an apartment...)
Lady_Starfire says:
I show up with a couple of old spellbooks. 
Allison Crowley says:
(I know)
Lady_Starfire says:
actually, 4 big ones...
Allison Crowley says:
(A. WHAT spellbooks? You were Verbena!)
Allison Crowley says:
(B. What about your other stuff?)
Allison Crowley says:
(And Wu, it only needs to fit for one major transport)
Lady_Starfire says:
(Okay. let me rephrase that. Book of Shadows.)
Wuse Major says:
(yeah.)
Allison Crowley says:
(DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THE BOOK OF SHADOWS IS???!!!!!)
Lady_Starfire says:
(yes. I do.)
Allison Crowley says:
(It was written by ALEISTER CROWLEY!)
Lady_Starfire says:
(Actually, in wicca terms, it's a witche's own collection of spells that's she created or learned from others.)
Allison Crowley says:
(Wrong. Not in WICCAN terms. In POSER terms.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(pah.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(then what do suggest, o wise and enlightened one?)
Allison Crowley says:
(The term is not Wiccan. Any more than The Necronomicon available in a bookstore is a Book of the Dead.)
Allison Crowley says:
(Wiccan's don't HAVE spell books.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I'm not going to argue tonight)
Lady_Starfire says:
(fine.)
Allison Crowley says:
(Contrary to popular belief, true Wiccan magic is herbal and need-based)
Lady_Starfire says:
( she shows up with a book of......stop beating me to stuff!)
Allison Crowley says:
(You might have a recipe book, similar to a cookbook, though)
Allison Crowley says:
(heh)
Allison Crowley says:
(In fact, I've seen a few Wiccan cookboks)
Lady_Starfire says:
(she shows up with a book of herbs and minerals)
Lady_Starfire says:
(cool. pass along.)
Allison Crowley says:
(Page 1: Lemon Meringue Pie. Page 2: Chocalate Chip Cookies. Page 3: Love Potion. Page 4....)
Lady_Starfire says:
(her natal chart)
Lady_Starfire says:
(lol)
Allison Crowley says:
(Don't have any)
Wuse Major says:
(and her other stuff?  or is that evrything that is important to her?)
Allison Crowley says:
"Where's all your cool stuff, Traci?"
Wuse Major says:
(good one)
Allison Crowley says:
(Besides, you're NOT a Verbena anymore, so you don't need those books....they're worse than useless)
Lady_Starfire says:
hold on a sec.....
Allison Crowley says:
(worse, because you don't believe in them, and they'll just confuse you)
Lady_Starfire says:
(returns out of wormhole dragging a box of stuff........)
Allison Crowley says:
(PLUS, since your focus was the amulet, you didn't HAVE any spellbooks)
Allison Crowley says:
(All of your magic came from a 'magic item')
Allison Crowley says:
(so  )
Lady_Starfire says:
(feh.)
Allison Crowley says:
ANYWAY....enough sidetracking
Lady_Starfire says:
(the box contains the cool stuff.)
Allison Crowley says:
an hour later, everbody has gathered all their stuff in Wu's apartment
Allison Crowley says:
(You have Resources 2....it's a lot more than 1 box....even _I_ have NINE boxes of stuff)
Lady_Starfire says:
(sigh)
Allison Crowley says:
Wu closes the wormholes, and maneuvers around one of Traci's bookcases
Lady_Starfire says:
(let's just say I got all the stuff out of my apartment.)
Allison Crowley says:
(sorry...I don't know why I'm arguing)
Lady_Starfire says:
(and I took the longest time....)
Wuse Major says:
(yes but does she really need that bed...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(lol_
Allison Crowley says:
(heh)
Lady_Starfire says:
(that daybed's special to me...)
Allison Crowley says:
(that bed has fond memories)
Lady_Starfire says:
(lol)
Lady_Starfire says:
(hah! beat ya too it...)
Allison Crowley says:
(You beat a lot more than just me, from what I hear around campus...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(at least I *see* action...)
Allison Crowley says:
Wu starts scanning the Compound
Allison Crowley says:
(Yeah. You see it while I get it.)
Allison Crowley says:
Wu?
Lady_Starfire says:
(ha!)
Wuse Major says:
(yes i do wait a sec)
Lady_Starfire says:
(sorry, but, uh, No)
Allison Crowley says:
(ya know, this argument works in character OR out)
Allison Crowley says:
(oh? When was the last time YOU had some action? Never, so far as I know.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(that's the point. It's none of your business what I do. Or whom...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(true)
Allison Crowley says:
(It IS my business. We're friends.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(but I never kiss and tell.)
Allison Crowley says:
(Sure you do.)
Allison Crowley says:
(all the time.)
Allison Crowley says:
(You just don't give DETAILS, which is the real point)
Lady_Starfire says:
(what do you want? Sizes? birthmarks?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(ratings?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(It's all in here....)
Allison Crowley says:
(heh)
Allison Crowley says:
(in _here_?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(pulls out a *thick* blackbook. Well used)
Lady_Starfire says:
(shaddup.)
Allison Crowley says:
(I'll bet. Your diary isn't black.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(and how would you know?)
Allison Crowley says:
(You've shown it to me, remember?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(besides, this isn't my diary. it's my man book.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(you know, the little black book everyone has?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(well, mine isn't all that little anymore, but...)
Allison Crowley says:
(You mean the one which, in reality, nobody actually has?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(actually, I have one....)
Lady_Starfire says:
(and it's *quite* full....I need a new one...)
Allison Crowley says:
(Wow. I wanna see that, someday. You're the first person I know to actually have one.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(okay.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(and yes, I have ratings.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(letter grades, actually.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(there's gotta be a few Kelly Bundy's out there with a binder, ya know...)
Allison Crowley says:
(True....I just don't know anyone that skanky.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(Courtney Morrison....)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I'll stop.)
Allison Crowley says:
(Rather, I don't know anyone that skanky who actually bothers to REMEMBER stuff)
Lady_Starfire says:
(point)
Allison Crowley says:
(Being a raver, I know LOTS of skanky people...)
Allison Crowley says:
Wu?
Lady_Starfire says:
(so, in game, what are we doing now?)
Allison Crowley says:
(Waiting for Michael to realize that he's in the wrong conversation)
Wuse Major says:
(ok i got five sucesses and a one on the fourtion die on the recon roll )
Allison Crowley says:
(which recon roll, first or second?)
Wuse Major says:
(the first one)
Allison Crowley says:
(whose place?)
Wuse Major says:
(i have to make two?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(hah. Being a party girl, I know all the freaks and skanks too
Wuse Major says:
(i thought i just had to scan the compound?)
Allison Crowley says:
(Maybe. But instead of a little black book, I have a little black BLANKET. I just read the stains.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(ew)
Wuse Major says:
(ewwwwwww)
Allison Crowley says:
(oh...THAT recon....)
Allison Crowley says:
(Then you DO have 5)
Lady_Starfire says:
(let's just end this train of thought right now...)
Wuse Major says:
(oh-oh)
Allison Crowley says:
As Allison and Traci are arguing over skankiness, Wu suddenly cries out in pain
Lady_Starfire says:
"Wu!"
Allison Crowley says:
She's clutching her hands to her head
Lady_Starfire says:
*rushes over to her*
Lady_Starfire says:
"What happened?"
Allison Crowley says:
(damnit)
Allison Crowley says:
(Ditto)
Lady_Starfire says:
(hah!)
Wuse Major says:
(plevvit!)
Lady_Starfire says:
(lol)
Allison Crowley says:
(you have a NASTY headache)
Wuse Major says:
(alen profanity)
Allison Crowley says:
(And your vision is fading)
Allison Crowley says:
"Wu, talk to me honey."
Wuse Major says:
(i can't see?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(i think you're gonna faint)
Allison Crowley says:
(You're going blind)
Lady_Starfire says:
(never mind.)
Lady_Starfire says:
Wu?
Allison Crowley says:
(RAPIDLY....you're having a minor stroke)
Wuse Major says:
"i can't see."
Allison Crowley says:
"Move your hands. Let me see."
Wuse Major says:
"argggggg"
Allison Crowley says:
"Move your hands, honey. Come on, it'll be alright."
Lady_Starfire says:
(what the hell did you do?!?)
Wuse Major says:
(now level five ones aren't perminant, right?)
Lady_Starfire says:
*to Alli* "let's sit her down somewhere."
Wuse Major says:
(please tell me they aren't perminant.)
Wuse Major says:
i sit
Allison Crowley says:
(You ARE sitting)
Wuse Major says:
actually i probably fall
Wuse Major says:
oh
Allison Crowley says:
"MOVE YOUR HANDS"
Wuse Major says:
i do
Allison Crowley says:
"This isn't good. Your eyes are all clouded."
Lady_Starfire says:
 (nevermind that sitting part then.)
Allison Crowley says:
"Milky, kind of."
Allison Crowley says:
"Like cataracts."
Allison Crowley says:
"Wu, what happened?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"Cataracts?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"Did you try anything?"
Allison Crowley says:
(you were sitting at your computer taking a good look at the complex, and you had a sudden stabbing pain in your head)
Allison Crowley says:
(Then you started to go blind)
Wuse Major says:
"well i was scanning the compound and i got a stabbing pain in my head, then my vision went."
Lady_Starfire says:
*to Alli* How the hell do you just up and get cataracts...
Lady_Starfire says:
oh
Allison Crowley says:
"Paradox backlash."
Allison Crowley says:
"Or a REALLY nasty security system on the compound."
Wuse Major says:
*under her breath* "the same way you get my hair, probably..."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Or something really nasty *in* the compound..."
Allison Crowley says:
"I heard that."
Allison Crowley says:
"As long as you have a sense of humor, you'll be fine."
Allison Crowley says:
"Socrates believed that that meant the four humours were in balance."
Lady_Starfire says:
"What do you think we should do?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"And we all see what happened to him."
Allison Crowley says:
"I don't know. We can't take you to a doctor."
Wuse Major says:
"the only problem is that i can't see to build the cyber system to enable me to see..."
Allison Crowley says:
"The Greeks were actually a LOT healthier than modern medicine."
Lady_Starfire says:
"the "wisest man in History" drank Hemlock..."
Allison Crowley says:
"I know."
Lady_Starfire says:
"real healthy."
Allison Crowley says:
"Shut up, Traci."
Wuse Major says:
"willingly"
Allison Crowley says:
"Both of you shut up, or I won't fix this."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Look at Ms. Defensive..."
Wuse Major says:
(it was an exicution method. he belived in the system)
Allison Crowley says:
"Be QUIET. I need to do some tinkering."
Allison Crowley says:
<deep breath>
Lady_Starfire says:
(how stupid of him....)
Allison Crowley says:
"Okay. Traci, go over there."
Allison Crowley says:
<points to corner>
Lady_Starfire says:
*I head over to corner*
Lady_Starfire says:
"what are you doing?"
Allison Crowley says:
(Not really. Honest and law-abiding. And he became a martyr. VERY wise.)
Allison Crowley says:
"Shut up."
Wuse Major says:
"let her think."
Allison Crowley says:
She frowns in concentration, staring at Wu's eyes, muttering, and poking at them.
Lady_Starfire says:
(psh he was still dead.)
Allison Crowley says:
(Traci, is your Prime sense active?)
Allison Crowley says:
(So? Death has no meaning.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(bah)
Lady_Starfire says:
(yeah.)
Allison Crowley says:
(That's why it was so wise. Socrates conquered all instinct with reason, for he realized that death was but a transition.)
Wuse Major says:
(i do think that he belived in the afterlife...)
Allison Crowley says:
(He did)
Wuse Major says:
(i thought you didn't?)
Allison Crowley says:
(I don't. I believe in reincarnation.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I hope he enjoys it. As for me, I intend to live forever.  
Wuse Major says:
(ah)
Allison Crowley says:
(so far, so good, right?)
Lady_Starfire says:
(right)
Allison Crowley says:
Traci, you see Allison extend several fine tendrils of Prime at Wu's eyes
Allison Crowley says:
They suddenly spark
Allison Crowley says:
And snap back
Wuse Major says:
(well remember the best way to live forever is to keep in good health)
Allison Crowley says:
"Damn. I was afraid of that. It's a backlash."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Oh dear."
Allison Crowley says:
(and the Greeks were very healthy)
Lady_Starfire says:
"She'll have to wait it out, then..."
Allison Crowley says:
"No."
Allison Crowley says:
"She won't."
Wuse Major says:
(and if you die anyway then you just didn't keep it up long enough)
Allison Crowley says:
"Wu, I can't restore your vision."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Hmm?"
Lady_Starfire says:
(lol)
Allison Crowley says:
"Neither can Traci, who actually knows a little bit about bioware."
Allison Crowley says:
"HOWEVER, I CAN install some, uh....wetware."
Wuse Major says:
"will it comeback or is this one of the perminant ones?"
Allison Crowley says:
"I don't know."
Allison Crowley says:
"But in the meantime, I can bypass your optic nerve."
Lady_Starfire says:
"This ought to be interesting...."
Allison Crowley says:
"I can feed data on the pure forces directly into your Avatar...."
Allison Crowley says:
"You'll actually have a BROADER spectrum."
Wuse Major says:
"don't do it if there is a chance that yyou might have a problem?"
Allison Crowley says:
"There shouldn't be."
Wuse Major says:
"ok then"
Allison Crowley says:
"The backlash affects your eyes."
Wuse Major says:
(this ought to be intertaining...)
Allison Crowley says:
"I'm going to be enchanting you so that you get the full electromagnetic spectrum wired directly into your Avatar."
Allison Crowley says:
"And, um, don't ask where the info is coming from."
Allison Crowley says:
"You don't want to know."
Wuse Major says:
"i won't."
Allison Crowley says:
"Now hold still. This will tickle."
Lady_Starfire says:
*funny look at Alli, then shakes head.*
Wuse Major says:
"i did want to try a minor experiment sometime though."
Allison Crowley says:
"Come here."
Allison Crowley says:
<sits Wu on the floor>
Allison Crowley says:
She pulls out some chalk, and draws a pentagram on the floor surrounding Wu
Allison Crowley says:
"Close your eyes."
Allison Crowley says:
"No, wait."
Allison Crowley says:
"I'll use your ears."
Wuse Major says:
i follow all orders
Allison Crowley says:
She places one tattoed palm on each ear, then begins to incant in Latin
Lady_Starfire says:
*arches eyebrow, but continues to watch*
Wuse Major says:
"i'm going to be able to hear light?"
Allison Crowley says:
She does it quietly, so Traci can't hear, and Wu can't hear because her ears are covered.
Allison Crowley says:
After a minute, she removes her hands
Lady_Starfire says:
(i wanna know, I wanna know...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I'm done.)
Allison Crowley says:
"To answer your question, no"
Wuse Major says:
(she is implanting a deamon, isn't she?)
Allison Crowley says:
"But then, you've have figured that out by now."
Lady_Starfire says:
(with you luck, probably)
Allison Crowley says:
(You can see again...in GLORIOUS spectrum)
Allison Crowley says:
(Forces 1)
Wuse Major says:
(i hate my luck)
Allison Crowley says:
"I merely used the ears as an anchor for the spell."
Lady_Starfire says:
(oooh....pretty colors....)
Wuse Major says:
"ah"
Wuse Major says:
"thanks"
Allison Crowley says:
"It won't interfere with your hearing, but don't go deaf...damage to the ears may disrupt the spell."
Wuse Major says:
"i feel like Jordi."
Allison Crowley says:
"And, um....don't get another backlash. The next one will almost certainly render you deaf."
Allison Crowley says:
"Which I can ALSO fix, but whatever I anchor the spells on will be the next thing to go."
Lady_Starfire says:
(Geordi...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(sorry...)
Wuse Major says:
"i wasn't trying for the first one!"
Allison Crowley says:
"I know. Which is why I anchored it on your ears."
Wuse Major says:
"got it."
Allison Crowley says:
"But if you get another one, and you go deaf, then I have to place TWO spells on two MORE anchors....and those will have to be something I can't replace."
Wuse Major says:
i'm checking my comp.
Allison Crowley says:
"Like your sense of touch and taste."
Wuse Major says:
doesit have the nessicary data?
Allison Crowley says:
Yes
Wuse Major says:
"i get it."
Allison Crowley says:
"Actually, I'd anchor them on smell and taste, but..."
Wuse Major says:
(i have no paradox pints now right?)
Allison Crowley says:
(right)
Allison Crowley says:
(but the flaw has a duration of Story)
Lady_Starfire says:
(oops...not good...)
Wuse Major says:
(tell me the moment i get one please)
Wuse Major says:
(and story is how long?)
Wuse Major says:
(campaign?)
Allison Crowley says:
(yeah)
Lady_Starfire says:
(I think so.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(beat me to it.)
Allison Crowley says:
(and.....uh....well....you guys are still on part 1 of 5)
Wuse Major says:
(then why not just perminant)
Allison Crowley says:
(consider this motivation)
Allison Crowley says:
(Permanent is six....and I plan on running AT LEAST three campaigns)
Allison Crowley says:
(a story is actually an adventure arc, not a campaign)
Lady_Starfire says:
(oh)
Lady_Starfire says:
(so, moving on...)
Wuse Major says:
(ok when i think of campaign i think of entire game as in no more with these people)
Wuse Major says:
(ok)
Allison Crowley says:
(right.....story is more like "Stop the resurrection of Shub-Niggurath"
Wuse Major says:
(well now you have given me a reason to get life...)
Wuse Major says:
(ok)
Lady_Starfire says:
(ah)
Allison Crowley says:
(Several adventures, MANY sessions, but not the end of the game...although it CAN be)
Lady_Starfire says:
(no)
Allison Crowley says:
(Life won't help.)
Allison Crowley says:
(That was a random example, not THIS campaign.)
Allison Crowley says:
(Actually, that's campaign 4. Maybe. <g>)
Allison Crowley says:
(But I plan on running this until the three of us hate each other)
Lady_Starfire says:
(kill him. Kill him now...)
Allison Crowley says:
(Or I run out of room on Geocities)
Wuse Major says:
(no but it will allow me to put in the brain link so that i can have correspondance sensing on all the time)
Allison Crowley says:
(You don't need life for that)
Allison Crowley says:
(It's a sixth sense kind of deal)
Wuse Major says:
(but i think i should have it as well as matter 4)
Allison Crowley says:
(Oh...right....except you're a technomancer)
Wuse Major says:
(it is a cyber system)
Allison Crowley says:
(You could do it with Alli's or Traci's help)
Lady_Starfire says:
(true)
Allison Crowley says:
(But you're right....to do it while blind with technomancy, you'd need Life)
Allison Crowley says:
Anyway, gonna roll to transport the Lab?
Wuse Major says:
(i might try it when i get matter four)
Allison Crowley says:
(Matter won't help....see above)
Wuse Major says:
(yes)
Wuse Major says:
(i meant to create the item and connect it with my brain)
Allison Crowley says:
(would take Life)
Lady_Starfire says:
(definately)
Wuse Major says:
(i would still have to use the forces sensing to create the med-bot)
Allison Crowley says:
(I suggest a ritual)
Allison Crowley says:
(or just do it as a Sacred Word or Demon)
Wuse Major says:
(how many sucesses would i need to transport the lab?)
Allison Crowley says:
"Look, guys, I don't know why, but I just got a strange sense of urgency. Something is terribly wrong in the, uh, Force. We need to speed this up and get....somewhere."
Wuse Major says:
"got it."
Allison Crowley says:
(keep rolling, and I'll say when)
Wuse Major says:
(ok)
Lady_Starfire says:
"Remind me to keep you away from anything Star Wars related..."
Allison Crowley says:
"This has to do with my mentor."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Oh. Psycho chick."
Allison Crowley says:
"Do I have to teach you respect again?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"Bah."
Allison Crowley says:
"And if you think a physical fight is too vulgar, we can do Certamen."
Wuse Major says:
(brb)
Lady_Starfire says:
"Smart. You *sense* the urgency for us to go, but you're willing to start a magick's fight. 
Lady_Starfire says:
unwise, to say the least
Allison Crowley says:
"There is a time and place for everything. And it will take me little time to teach you a lesson you seem to have forgotten."
Lady_Starfire says:
*rolls eyes*
Lady_Starfire says:
"I'm sorry. You can get all huffy if you want, but personally, I think your mentor is a bit nuts."
Lady_Starfire says:
"I'm just waiting for either you or her to make Yoda references
Allison Crowley says:
"Agreed, she is a bit nuts. But something's wrong. And there's no need to be impolite."
Allison Crowley says:
"And you would probably act that way if you had spent the last 20 years in the Umbra."
Lady_Starfire says:
"20 years?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"figures...."
Allison Crowley says:
(act that way, too, if....)
Lady_Starfire says:
"Fine, I'll call her eccentric, and be done with it."
Allison Crowley says:
"So, will you remember that being polite costs nothing, but is worth everything?"
Lady_Starfire says:
(Fosters, Aulstralian for beer...)
Wuse Major says:
(diff is three right?)
Lady_Starfire says:
"Fine, fine, I'll play nice, mommy..."
Wuse Major says:
(i'm spending will)
Allison Crowley says:
(Difficulty is 4, not three)
Allison Crowley says:
"When we have a minute, I AM going to give you a lesson in etiquette."
Wuse Major says:
(doesthat get me one addional sucess per roll or one additional period?)
Allison Crowley says:
(Neither. It drops the target from 'seen once' to 'known slightly')
Lady_Starfire says:
"hah. This from the one who insulted BUDDHA"
Allison Crowley says:
(It drops the multiplier from 4 to 3)
Allison Crowley says:
"Wu, this will take a bit, right?"
Wuse Major says:
(thought the diff was 8 and i get -4 for my location and a -1 for my examination of the area?)
Allison Crowley says:
(You need 36 successes)
Lady_Starfire says:
(wow...)
Allison Crowley says:
(no, examination doesn't drop DIFFICULTY 1, it drops the successes needed by one)
Allison Crowley says:
(or in this case, by 12)
Wuse Major says:
"yeah, and if you guys are going to be at all noisy or might have any chance of interupting me then go outside."
Wuse Major says:
(ah)
Allison Crowley says:
"We can't. We'll get left behind. Don't worry. We won't disturb you."
Allison Crowley says:
to Traci: "How big do you want this to be?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"What the hell?"
Wuse Major says:
"then go in another room."
Allison Crowley says:
"We don't have much room with all the furniture."
Allison Crowley says:
to Wu: "I can erect a warding that will block sound."
Lady_Starfire says:
"What, you want to fight?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"Fine."
Allison Crowley says:
"No, I want to remind you of humility."
Lady_Starfire says:
"And since when have I been proud?"
Wuse Major says:
"if you guys do anything that disrupts my devices then what just happened to me will be like a vacation in heaven compared to what might happen."
Allison Crowley says:
"Since always. But I thought you had learned better in the Met."
Lady_Starfire says:
"I merely expressed a point of view, and you got all pissy...."
Allison Crowley says:
"And you have continued to be unneccessarily rude and aggravating."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Just because i don't solve all my problems with overt violence doesn't mean anything. And when was I rude or aggravating?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"I merely pointed out your mentor was batty, and you flipped."
Lady_Starfire says:
"I said I'd be nice and call her eccentric."
Lady_Starfire says:
"And you can't deny that she's not all there."
Wuse Major says:
(do i roll a fortion die with each roll?)
Allison Crowley says:
"And then you insulted me."
Allison Crowley says:
(yes)
Lady_Starfire says:
"How did I insult you?"
Wuse Major says:
(5 on first)
Wuse Major says:
(5 on second)
Allison Crowley says:
<perfect imitation of Traci> "hah. This from the one who insulted BUDDHA"
Lady_Starfire says:
"what did I do or say that wounded your fragile soul? Do you want me to beg for forgiveness? or shall I do pennance? 10 hail mary's?"
Lady_Starfire says:
"As I recall, did you not call him a fat reclusive monk?"
Allison Crowley says:
"Perhaps not technically an insult, but you are still being unnecessarily rude."
Wuse Major says:
(shoot scaratch that it was only 2 on last roll)
Wuse Major says:
(two on third)
Lady_Starfire says:
"I told you I'd *stop*
Allison Crowley says:
"But you HAVEN'T."
Lady_Starfire says:
But I'm not going to change my opinion on your mentor. 
Lady_Starfire says:
and you need to stop being so damn sensitive
Lady_Starfire says:
I haven't stopped because you won't leave me alone. 
Lady_Starfire says:
if you'd stop talking, i'd stop talking, and Wu could work in peace
Allison Crowley says:
"But you're ALWAYS like this."
Wuse Major says:
(3 on fourth)
Lady_Starfire says:
look who's talking.
Wuse Major says:
(5 on fifth)
Lady_Starfire says:
you're always harping over the littlest thing
Allison Crowley says:
"I don't point out that you'd still be a pathetic magic-less lump without me, do I?"
Allison Crowley says:
"Oops. I just did."
Lady_Starfire says:
"Okay, that was entirely unecessary, you little bitch."
Allison Crowley says:
"So has everything you've said this evening."
Allison Crowley says:
"But I have TRIED to be patient."
Lady_Starfire says:
"I'm sure."
Allison Crowley says:
"A lesson I obviously still need to learn."
Wuse Major says:
(i think they are starting to effect me.  none on sixth, and a one on the fortion die.)
Allison Crowley says:
"Oh? Who started pointing out past flaws? Who has..."<takes deep breath>
Allison Crowley says:
(HOLD ON)
Wuse Major says:
(that was a total of no successes on that roll)
Allison Crowley says:
(Total of how many successes so far?)
Wuse Major says:
(17)
Wuse Major says:
(we are dead aren't we?)
Allison Crowley says:
(ok...how many rolls so far)
Wuse Major says:
(cant i spend another will pint to keep it going?)
Allison Crowley says:
(yes...and the difficulty becomes 5)
Allison Crowley says:
(spend the will, and tell me how many rolls so far)
Wuse Major says:
(that was my sixth)
Wuse Major says:
(ok.  keep rolling?)
Wuse Major says:
(4 sucesses on seventh and a ten on fortioun die)
Allison Crowley says:
(hmm...okay)
Allison Crowley says:
(Lemme know when you total 36, and how many rolls you made)
Wuse Major says:
(ok)
Allison Crowley says:
(Back to game)
Allison Crowley says:
"Oh? Who started pointing out past flaws? Who has..."<takes deep breath>
Allison Crowley says:
"We're acting like children."
Wuse Major says:
(3 on eighth)
Allison Crowley says:
"But remember that there is no reason to EVER be rude. Now I'm going to go meditate."
Wuse Major says:
(3 on ninth)
Allison Crowley says:
<with that, she stalks off>
Allison Crowley says:
<and does NOT slam the door>
Allison Crowley says:
(just tell me if you roll any more fortune die 1s or 10s....otherwise, just tell me the total number of rolls....I don't need the updates)
Lady_Starfire says:
*looks after her curiously, then sits down on the edge of sofa.*
Wuse Major says:
(3 on tenth, one on fourtion die)
Allison Crowley says:
(oh, dear)
Lady_Starfire says:
(can I talk to Brigdhe if i want?)
Allison Crowley says:
(spend another Will)
Lady_Starfire says:
(oh crap...)
Allison Crowley says:
(and difficulty is now 6)
Wuse Major says:
(can't i just roll four dice and do an uber die at the end?)
Allison Crowley says:
(no)
Allison Crowley says:
(you gain 1 Paradox/round, remember?)
Allison Crowley says:
(plus a botch and a failure)
Wuse Major says:
(2 on eleventh)
Allison Crowley says:
(oh...and are you teleporting your whole apartment, or just the contents?)
Allison Crowley says:
(well?)
Wuse Major says:
(do i still get the effect of a sactum with just the contents?)
Allison Crowley says:
(yes)
Wuse Major says:
(would moving the contencece be easyer?)
Allison Crowley says:
(no)
Wuse Major says:
(harder?)
Allison Crowley says:
(no)
Allison Crowley says:
(same)
Wuse Major says:
(then just the contents into a similar room at the compound)
Allison Crowley says:
(or the courtyard, for later moving)
Allison Crowley says:
(How go the rolls?)
Wuse Major says:
(and that eleventh roll was 32)
Wuse Major says:
(i just had to count it)
Wuse Major says:
(and the paradox dosn't add to my total, just to the potential backlash if i screw up completely)
Allison Crowley says:
(oh dear...that means only another roll or two....which isn't very many chances to roll another 10)
Wuse Major says:
(you said to stop at 32.)
Allison Crowley says:
(wrong...I interpreted that differently, remember? A couple of sessions ago?)
Wuse Major says:
(oh shoot)
Lady_Starfire says:
(oh no....)
Wuse Major says:
(so i gain one for each roll?)
Allison Crowley says:
(yes...plus 5 for the botch)
Wuse Major says:
(then i'm probably dead from overload...)
Allison Crowley says:
(not yet....keep rolling)
Wuse Major says:
(or at least i will be when arnold catches up with me...)
Lady_Starfire says:
(you know, you CAN kill paradox spirits. It's just extremely hard...)
Wuse Major says:
(not him...)
Allison Crowley says:
(Not mine.)
Lady_Starfire says:
(oh dear....)
Wuse Major says:
(what should i go to ?)
Allison Crowley says:
(36)
Wuse Major says:
(got 37 but i probably exploded on entry)
Allison Crowley says:
(No....how many rolls?)
Allison Crowley says:
(12, 13?)
Wuse Major says:
(total summery: 37 successses, 16 rolls, 1 fourtion ten, and 3 fortion ones)
Wuse Major says:
(i will just go make up a new character then.)
Allison Crowley says:
(THREE??? I thought it was only TWO???)
Allison Crowley says:
OKAY
Allison Crowley says:
Group decision time
Wuse Major says:
(probably for a different game...)
Allison Crowley says:
Wu has just garnered a 21 Paradox DOUBLE backlash
Wuse Major says:
(i got another one)
Lady_Starfire says:
Good god.....
Allison Crowley says:
The easiest, most obvious solution is to completely destroy lower New York
Allison Crowley says:
Or, I can keep the game going

EDITING NOTE: Okay, at this point the game devolved into a discussion of what to do. It was finally decided that we would stop the game, kill everyone, and start a new game which would be Bastet sci-fi, run by me. Midway through the week, Michael IMed me, and pointed out that "Hey, aren't spells cast in a Sanctum coincidental?" Oops. Anyway, since ending the game with a transporter accident was dissatisfactory on everybody's part, and the only reason I was enforcing it was to ensure play balance (without which the game becomes no fun, and there's no point), we decided to restart the game after a 1-week (1 session) break.
