quote:You’re beautiful. Gain a String on everyone. Possibly both. quote:Someone once saved your unlife. They gain 2 Strings on you. One downside of my sudden popularity is that I've got a lot more to do. So, I was rushing out of school one day to get home to finish my homework, so I didn't notice the car about to run me down as I was crossing the street. Thankfully, Sophie tackled me out of the way. After the daze from being tackled wore off, I profusely thanked her, but all she did was give me a funny look when I didn't really bleed after being all scraped up from her tackle. So, yeah, that could be a little awkward in the near future, so I've been planning a bit of a charm offensive. Capfalcon fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Feb 17, 2016 |

quote:Someone reminded you what love was, when you thought that death had stolen it away from you forever. Give them 2 Strings. I still dunno what she was up to but I gotta assume it was a doozy since it took forever and a day. Lotta time to think. Even today I still try to avoid thinkin' about my thing too much, doesn't really do much good y'know? Well eventually I got tired of running the usual thought lines and went somewhere new. Like how I'd never took Sophie for a prankster, how I'd never taken her for anything really now that I thought about it. How that was a bit of a shame, since she was actually pretty funny, with a wicked imagination, talkin' about the feds huntin' monsters and magic and stuff. Not hard on the eyes either, shallow as that sounds. Now right when I was thinkin' that it was a shame Old Tatsu never noticed her when that little voice that ya have said, "Well why doesn't this Tastu do something?" So I told myself, 'Self, y'know why, don't be more of an idiot than usual.' "Well have ya even thought about it?" 'Why bother? Everything sucks unless I make some crazy.' "Stopped fighting already? Weak." Now that was just uncalled for. I was not gonna get insulted by my own monologue. Then Sophie came back and we had to scram so that whole train of thought got shelved. Once I got home I actually considered it a bit, and after a few days, I figured out that, yeah there was definitely something there. It's no hit of normal, but its more emotion than anything else. Leave it to me to find a way to make this even more complicated. quote:Did anyone watch you die, or watch you come back to life? If so, you both gain 2 Strings on each other.

quote:You’ve been watching someone, trying to learn from them what it means to be human. Gain two Strings on them. I've been watching Cassius a lot. He went from being a loser to like, the most popular guy in school. I don't get how he did it, but there has to be some clue there, doesn't there? If I can find out his trick, maybe I can be popular too. And have a lot of friends. I like looking at him too. Just sort of feels nice. Is that weird? It's probably weird. Sorry. Did I before though? I don't know. ShootaBoy posted:Did anyone watch you die, or watch you come back to life? If so, you both gain 2 Strings on each other. Tatsu... Everyone knows about the accident with the truck and his miraculous recovery. But I don't think anyone but me knows about the first one. Or... the first one as far as I know. It was at the edge of town, I was out there... well if you must know I was carving some runes into the bark of a tree. Had to do a circle of them around town for some reason. Anyway, I'd finished the last one and was walking back when I saw him laying there by the side of the road. His body was twisted around like a rag doll, or roadkill. I froze, staring at him, for what might have been a minute or an hour. Wasn't sure what I should do. My phone had died ages ago, so I couldn't call an ambulance. Would my family tell me off if I didn't bring is body back for some ritual? But then he twitched. I'd thought he was dead for sure, but I was pretty far away. Didn't like to get close, what if someone came by and thought I killed him? But he twitched. And then he started picking himself up. Slowly. Unbending his arms and stuff like someone waking up after sleeping in a really uncomfortable position. Very slowly. Then he got on his bike and drove off like nothing had happened. All I could figure was he'd passed out from the impact or something but not hurt himself otherwise. When he woke up he was fine. That seems like something that could happen, right? But then I heard about his truck accident. Can you really be that lucky twice? ...I don't know what to make of that. Gato posted:You owe debts. Give away 3 Strings, divided any way you like between the dark power and the other characters. Sophie sits next to me in class. She seems pretty shy, always on her phone. One day during class I noticed she was always writing the answers down right after I did. Some careful glances and I realized she was looking at my paper out of the corner of her eye. So I sort of slid my paper over to the side of the desk nearer to her and wrote a little bigger. Maybe she'll be my friend? That's what friends do, right? Help each other out?

quote:You owe debts. Give away 3 Strings, divided any way you like between the dark power and the other characters. So, what with the whole "saving my life" thing, I've been trying to be nice to Sophie. Problem is... she's kinda weird. Always skulking around and junk. So, one day, she's skulking around like normal, but it seems like she REALLY wants to get past a guard near a warehouse. (look, I've just learned to read people since the whole "turned into a vampire. It's hard to explain, ok?). I mean, yeah, it was kinda shady, but I had been trying to find something to do for her. So, I go and be my charming self, distracting the guard while she sneaks in the back. Before long, I've got him eating out of the palm of my hand, and Sophie hustles out the back. So, I managed to help her out. But, I figure for not telling anyone what happened, she owes me.

While you guys finalize the details for your background connections, let's work on homeroom seating. Write your character's name wherever they sit, then place the NPC you made in character creation and another one. This can be someone from your background or someone you just made up. If it's the latter, give a brief description of them.pre:[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []

In preperation for the start of the next session I cleared out the notes on the String sheet. I figure once a session is over, we can remove them so that there's not a whole bunch to go through as the game goes on. As for the starting prompt, I figure I'd ask you guys if you want to start the next session on the very next day (Tuesday) or skip ahead a few days (to Wednesday or Thursday). I'll be in the #swampthings IRC channel as well but I'm also putting it up here for when I'm not around or if you want to discuss it here too.

I'm fine with a time skip to Thursday or even Friday, and after hashing it out with Godfish, Mia's been spending the nights at Cassius' house, after a conversation that went something like this: quote:Cassius: "So... before I agree to anything, you still haven't told me why the hell you were in Ginny's house in the first place. I mean, you're not going to try and kill Dog, right?"

So, like I worked out with Helio I'm taking the Queen's Clique in place of the Ghouls usual gang. I'm gonna go with them being talented, in their own areas. Elliot does art, Tess does soccer, and Thomas does... something I'll think of eventually. Demands: The want Tatsu to be their for them and to let them be their for him. Trigger: They go off when they feel one of the gang is being threatened, physically or socially. Lemme know if that's all good to go and junk. I probably hosed something or other up. Once I get the official sign off I'll add it to my sheet in the thread.
