Cast of Characters: Tatsuya Kowareta, Ghoul, played by ShootaBoy Sophie Poe, Infernal, played by Gato Lamia Leventis, Serpentine, played by GodFish Cassius Phllips, Vampire, played by Capfalcoln Virginia Wright, Unicorn, played by Ferrosol ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It’s a new year in Prosperity. After Christmas, and then New Years, it’s when school feels like it’s really starting back up. Any of you make a resolution for this year? Your teacher, Mr. Darrell, isn’t here. That isn’t too unexpected with him. Supposedly, way back when he was younger, he actually cared enough to show up on time and do his job. Nowadays he tends to be late and does the bare minimum. Most of the students don’t really mind. Gives you all some free time to talk to each other and delays the start of school some. The current topic going around: Penny is throwing a party at her house. A sort of “post new year's” new year party. She normally lives alone and as long as the police aren’t bothered things should go just fine. It’ll be on Friday after school. From what you’ve all heard, it’s pretty open as far as invitations go - you just need to ask her. pre:[Kyle] [Ginny] [Cassius] [Thomas] [Lily] [Jim] [Mia] [Sophie] [Tatsu] [Spider] [Jason] [Tony] [Sam] [Susan] [Elliot] Lamia: Well, it doesn’t seem to hard to get an invitation. Does this kind of thing interest you? Meanwhile your Uncle Ahi pointed out this morning how you don’t have any human “friends” like Atem does, and that can look odd to them. He wants you to get close to someone you can use to remedy that. You plan on doing this task? And if so, who do you think would be a good fit? Cassius: You’re already invited. But….remember what happened last time you went to a big party? You want to attend but keep an eye out? Or just do something else that day? Sophie: Why did Taylor say you need to go the party? What interesting thing did he say about Penny? Would you normally want to go to this party anyway? Virginia:: How do you feel about parties? There can be drinking, drugs, and...other things going on during then. You interested in going or staying away from it? Sam is definitely going to go though. Tatsuya highlight Dark Lamia highlight Hot Cassius highlight Dark Sophie highlight Cold Virginia highlight Volatile ----------------------------------------- OOC Thread String Sheet Please put your character sheet in a quote block at the bottom of your first post, and keep it updated as the game goes on. Rules: One roll per post, ask me if you want an exception for some reason. When you get/remove a String, update the String sheet and add a note on how you got/removed it. Singleton rule for Strings applies per person, so you may get Strings from the same ability multiple times in a scene. However, you can generally only roll against someone once per situation. Have fun!

Virginia: Your mind drifts, thinking about everyone in class. Cassius sits next to you - are you interested in him? Seems like a lot of girls are these days. However, your thoughts are interrupted when you see Kyle looking at you smugly. Seems he noticed you looking around. "Trying to find someone who'd be interested in you? Yeah, good luck with that." Kyle takes a String on you

Cassius: Kyle glares at you angrily. He may not be completely aware of what happened during that confrontation, but it's clear he still holds a grudge against you for it. He looks over at Ginny talking to Tatsu. "If I wanted your useless advice, I'd ask for it. gently caress off." He turns his attention back to Ginny. Kyle gives you the condition Nosy Virginia: Well, this is awkward. But before you can keep dwelling on that, you get the feeling - you know, the one you get when you just know you're being watched. Over by the window, you can just see a figure moving out of view. No one else seems to have noticed them, and now there's nothing to point out. Have the people stalking you ever gotten this close while you've been at school before? There's also an additional problem that just came up... Tatsuya: "Oh wow Ginny, him?! Really?" Kyle deliberatly raises his voice and now just about the entire class looks over, sees how red you and Ginny are, and puts two and two together. Or what they think is two and two. You hear some whispers, and you can see Elliot looking over at you curiosly. Virginia: Well, that just happened. Sam is looking at you with concern. Did you ever tell her about Tatsu's confession before? Because otherwise she'll just know him by reputation. Not a good start. And what about the figure of what's likely to be a man sent after you? How are you going to deal with that in addition to the stares and giggles of your classmates? What do you do?

Virginia: You leave the classroom, getting away from all the stares and whispers and possible stalkers. Running, running down the hallways and suddenly - you can see things in the other classrooms. Not the students and teachers that should be there, but rather...scenes. Tatsuya talking to you, telling you his feelings. Sophie, trying to get ahold of your notes. You in class, being watched. You, at a meeting with your group but something's wrong. You, alone in the woods...except for the people closing in on you. Then it stops, just as you do. Everything goes back to normal. Has anything like this ever happened before? Meanwhile you hear Sam calling "Ginny?" She appears, slowing down and catching her breath. "Jesus Ginny, what happened? Are you okay?" What do you do? Tatsuya: Kyle clearly wasn't expecting someone to start attacking him. "gently caress!" he shouts while trying to defend himself. It's not going very well for him though. What do you do? Everyone else: Sam got out of her chair and went after Ginny. The rest of the class is staring at what's going on. Do any of you want to get in the middle of this?

Tatsuya: You make a quick getaway. Luckily the hallways are empty, so you can get to your bike no problem. You going to wander around, or do you have a specific place you'd like to go to? What do you think you're going to do about news of this fight getting to Ginny? Virginia: "Hey, it's okay now" she says reassuringly. "We can wait until you're ready to go back. Kyle was just being an rear end- I mean," she quickly amends while looking at you, "a jerk. Like usual. If you want, I can help you find a date to the party so people don't keep thinking you're interested in Tatsu?" She clearly thinks you have no intentions of persuing Tatsu, and it's obvious she doesn't like him. What do you do? Sophie: Now that the show's over, you can see the interest slowly fade away from where Tatsu was, and drift about. But you can sense interest directed at where Ginny was - and this is stronger interest then everyone else's. You can't quite tell what sort of interest it is, but it's definitley different then everyone else's. Someone close by, too. But...you can't quite make out who that person is before the effects of the app wear off. And who knows if they're still thinking about her if you get it back up again. What do you do? Lamia: While Sophie is busy with her phone, Tony leans over. "Nah, I think Kyle was just starting poo poo and Tatsu responded. Anyway, you heading to the party too? Going to, uh, go with anyone?" He seems really interested in your answer. What do you do? Cassius: Kyle looks at you. He seems to want to refuse, but changes his mind. "Fine I guess we could go. Might as well bail like that rear end in a top hat did." He'll let you escort him and skip out on some class As you leave, you can see Jason's eyes on you. What do you do?

Lamia: Tony looks at you, and then Sophie. "Together? Like...uh, anyway yeah I'm going to get an invite too. So, do you mean like as friends, or..." He looks oddly concerned. What do you do? Cassius: On the way there, you get a text back. quote:yeah. dunno about the party. not sure if it's for people like me When you try to give Kyle the command though, you sense him block your ability off somehow and incredible annoyance. "I already told you to gently caress off. If you're just going to lecture me, I'll go in by myself. You can, I dunno, go back to class or wander around or whatever." He moves his chair to the door. What do you think of the fact that Kyle was able to resist you this time? What do you do? Kyle takes 1 String on you, and uses Nosy against you to protect himself by getting another String.

Virginia: Sam looks at you in surprise. "I'm pretty sure you could find someone else interested in you. And he's crazy! I mean, when I left the room he was getting into a fight with Kyle. But...if you think you can handle this situation, then fine. But let me be nearby in case he does something." Are you willing to accept that? Cassius: You get a response back quote:okay. dunno about getting dates, maybe we can just hang out there together? Sam was apparently talking to Virginia, but when you show up she turns to you. "Oh yeah, we were just talking about that." She notices you smiling at Virginia and adds "So you going with anyone? Or planning on ask someone?"

Tatsuya: You think back to the accident, to the days afterward, to when you got that first high, to the second accident. This is a part of you now, whatever the reason it happened. It's something unnatural. But maybe an unnatural problem can be dealt with an unnatural solution? Do you have any idea of something that might qualify? What do you do? Sophie: "I was just seeing if she's free. Why are you..." Tony stops as you see he thinks he figured out what's going on. "Look, why don't we ask her?" Lamia: Tony turns back to you. "So are you just going as a friend with her? Because, well...I'm free too." What do you think Tony is talking about? He looks kind of nervous about saying that last part as well. And Sophia seems to be mad for some reason. What do you do?

Virginia: Cassius and Sam follow you back. They're busy talking with each other at the moment, so you're able to get ahead of them. However, that means Mr. Darrell sees just you going back into class. You see him examine your face. "Ms. Wright? What are you doing out of class?" What do you do? Cassius: "Well I was probably going to hang out with Susan, but we haven't really set anything in stone. So I could still do something else." Seems like she'd be interested in going out with you today. Do you go on many dates now that you've become so popular? What do you do? Tatsuya: You have to wait for a bit before some messages come up. quote:You tried to beat up a guy in a wheelchair quote:Even if it was Kyle quote:9 There's another small delay. quote:Do you want to talk about something? What do you do?

Tatsuya:quote:Sure Well, you got that meeting. Have you ever talked to Elliot about any problems before you died? Virginia: Mr Darrell could probably get try to get more information, if that wouldn't require putting in effort. "All right," he says while heading in. You can see some students looking over at you in curiosity, but it seems like most of the interest has died down. Lamia: "Oh. Uh, yeah. I would. I would like to go." Tony sits back down in his seat. He seems kind of disappointed for some reason. He looks at Sophie to see what her answer is going to be. Sophie: Looks like Tony lost his nerve. Mia seems to have misinterpreted the situation as well. Are you going to clear things up, or just let it lie?

Once he's ready to begin class, Mr. Darrell interrupts all the ongoing conversations by loudly saying, "Okay, time for attendance." He marks down Kyle and Tatsuya as absent, before starting class. The only interruption is when Tatsuya comes in and Mr. Darrell just changes it to him being late. He even ignores the flurry of whispers that breaks out and just talks over them until they stop. Despite the morning's unusual start, this class and the next few ones go by normally. Eventually, it's lunch time. For several of you, it's the time to meet up with Penny and confirm invitations to her party. Tatsuya: Do you eat anymore? Regardless, Elliot is where she said she'd be. As you approach, she's eating a school lunch, but puts down the plastic knife and fork when she sees you. "Hey," she says while motioning for you to take a seat. "So...where do you want to start?" What do you do? Lamia: Before the interruption from Mr. Darrell, Tony seemed to agree with you although he had an odd expression on his face. But maybe it had to do with Sophie? Speaking of which - as you're heading with Sophie to meet Penny, Atem shows up. At least he's just by himself and doesn't have his friends along. "Hey Lamia" he says in that way that you just know means he wants something from you. "Can I talk to you for a moment?" He looks at Sophie. "In private?" What do you do? Sophie: Have you ever encountered Atem before? What do you think of him? He might have his sunglasses on, but it's clear from the way he's looking at you that he wants you away from Mia. What do you do? Cassius: Where does Penny usually hang out during lunch? Before you can meet up with Mia and Sophie, Jason comes up to you while you're alone. "For this party, do we just ask your friend to let me in?" You can see he's still not sure about this whole thing. What do you do? Virginia: What are you doing at this moment? Spider is there to show you the art for the new posters he's working on. How did he get that nickname? Anyway, he seems to be having some trouble focusing on them. Eventually he says "Uh, so what was up with Tatsu and Kyle and stuff during class? Was that just Kyle being an rear end in a top hat like usual or..." He trails off and looks at you. What do you do?

Tatsuya: Elliot listens to your explanation and then thinks for a moment before saying, "I'm not Ginny but maybe she's not sure about this thing you've got going between you? And as for the whole 'bad boy' thing - if you don't want to worry about it then...why not just go back? To how things were before you started being this way?" She looks directly at you. "I know the others would like it if you came back." What do you do? Lamia: Atem walks with you to a nearby empty classroom. He looks around, and then satisfied says "I heard you're getting invites to that girl Penny's party? Can you get me into it as well? I'd ask, but she was being a real bitch after me and my friends were just joking around." Even with his eyes covered, you know he's rolling them. "Besides, it could be like a date night for us." He puts his arm around your shoulder, apparently thinking he's being real smooth. What do you do? Sophie: So that's something you just saw. And heard. The way Atem said it, it seems like he figures she'll accept. What do you think of that? Cassius: When you explain your plan, Jason says "Oh. Okay." As you put your arm around him and make the deal, he seems a little surprised. "Yeah! I mean, that sounds good to me." He gives you a small smile. So now you just need to wait for Mia and Sophie right? They should be heading your way, but right now you don't really see them. Or...wait, you do see one of them. Sophie's near one of the classrooms. It's pretty clear to you that she's listening in on something going on. What do you do?

Virginia: Spider nods. "Yeah, he went like totally loving berserk on Kyle! Cassius had to pull him away before he could do anything more and then he ran off. Who knows what would have happened otherwise?" He seems to really be trying to impress upon you how violent Tatsu was being. It also looks like he's forgotten to watch his mouth - he just swore twice in front of you. What do you do? Tatsuya: "That doesn't make any se-" She stops. "Okay. I don't know what's going on with you, besides the Ginny thing, but I guess you still need more time to figure it out. But if you're going to feel you have to deal with it alone, why don't you at drop by the group at least once? Doesn't have to be long, but maybe if you see who you're leaving behind you'll reconsider this thing of yours." What do you think of what she just said? What do you do?

Virginia: Despite his muttering, Spider starts saying "Oh, uh, sorry. But aren't you - " before he gets cut off by a familiar voice. "If you're trying to stop Tatsu from getting with her, warning her about him isn't going to work." It's Claire Burns. "Um, I wasn't - " he starts before being cut off again. "Besides she probably loved it. Just wait until you miss one of your weirdo group meetings and she slaps you around." Not only is she saying this in front of Spider, but you can see it's attracted some other people's attention. Gain the condition Violent Spider is confused and not sure what to say to that. What do you do? You can increase Integrity. For future reference, you get to judge when something counts for that. Tatsuya: "Thanks. I think. I sure hope you know what you're doing." She takes a bite of her own lunch. "Anything else I can sort of help you with?" What do you do? Lamia: Atem goes from disappointment in your reaction, to surprise at Sophie bursting in, to frowning when you rebuke him. "Okay" he says, but you can tell he's not going to be happy if you don't get him the invitation. He heads out the classroom. How do you think you'll get Penny to accept having him at her party? Sophie: As he leaves, Atem gives you a brief glare. He's definitely mad about you coming in partway through their talk or whatever that was. What do you do? Cassius: Sophie goes in, and then Atem comes out and leaves, followed by Mia and Sophie. Jason stops talking for a second, and then says "Are we waiting for some other people or something?" What do you do?

Tatsuya: You only catch the tail end of Claire's first comment before Ginny goes off on her. What do you think of what she just said? What do you do? Gain a String on Virginia Virginia: "Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I have a life so it's okay to threaten me with about how you would have done more then a slap? God drat glad I didn't get any near you again." No one else is getting involved but from the way they're looking at you and the things they're muttering, you can see they kind of agree with her on that last bit. Claire uses Violent against you to act at an advantage

Mia: You think back on everything you've learned from watching Cassius. He's able to get people to do what he wants pretty often, huh? Maybe it's because he's so charming and pleasant to look at. It could also be that he can give people what they want, even if it's just his company. Maybe if you can figure out something that Penny wants, giving her that might convince her to let Atem attend? Sophie: Your phone got a new message. When you look at it, it's says: quote:normally i wouldn't say anything about who you flirt with, but you need to be careful of M and her family Looks like Taylor is keepin an eye on you currently. Aside from his assumption there, what do you think about what he just told you? Speaking of Mia, she seems to be watching Cassius talk to his friend. What do you do? Cassius: You can't quite put your finger on what the smell of her blood is like. But it's different, that's for sure. And not in the way that different people might have slightly different smelling blood. This is something you've never encountered before. What do you do? Tatsuya: Claire looks up in surprise as you walk in, and then in anger as you insult her in front of everyone. "Whatever." She's clearly not interested in continuing the conflict now. You've getting a lot of attention though. What do you do? Virginia: "Fine," she says to you. Looks like Claire is now willing to let this drop. She turns away from you, although you and Tatsu currently have people watching/listening to the two of you. What do you do?

Cassius: "Oh yeah no problem," Penny says. "Would you mind dropping by early and helping me set things up?" You did promise to hang out with Jason before it started though. He's watching you to see how it goes over. What do you do? Sophie: quote:probably best if you dont know for now Not very helpful. Has Taylor ever withheld information from you like this before? Anyway, you focus the app on Penny while she's talking to Cassius. It takes a while but eventually something gets picked up. Looks like...some kind of magic? But not from her. On her. And...seems like some kind of negative effect. A curse. While you're looking at that, Penny just invited Cassius to her house before the party. What do you do? Lamia: Cassius just got you into the party, so that's good. You have an opening to get Atem in now, or at least try. What do you do? Going to end this lunch scene in another post or two

Virginia:quote:oh. i thought u were going 2 wait for me There's nothing after that for a moment. Have you ever broken a promise to Sam before? What do you think of breaking this promise? She eventually sends a text back. quote:yeah, sure i can do that Cassius: "You did?" She looks at Jason, who seems uncomfortable at the attention being focused on him. "Sure! You're right. I'll call you and let you know when drop by, okay?" Mia: Penny might be saying she's fine with this plan, but you can see a brief glimpse of...disappointment, it looks like? on her face when Cassius suggests bringing Jason along. Maybe helping her with that might let consider allowing Atem in?

Lamia: Penny looks back and forth between Mia, Jason, and Cassius. "Why don't you guys figure this out and let me know? We've got a couple days anyway." Jason hesitates, and then says. "Okay, I guess? Let's figure this out after school." It's clear he's not sure where you're going with this, and wants to know more before he agrees. Virginia: quote:not sure. mybe cassius? we'll see how tonight goes You start thinking about how to get them together. It might not be too hard, right? If tonight goes well, maybe one of them will ask the other out. But as your mind starts thinking up ways to help, you find yourself imagining odd and disturbing scenarios playing out. Sam and Cassius out tonight, but someone watches. Sam and Cassius talking during dinner, but someone nearby observes. Sam and Cassius, done with their date for the night and when they split up...someone follows Cassius. What do you think this means? -------------------- Finally the school day is over. As the last bell rings, you all leave your classes and start heading out to where ever you want to spend the rest of the day. New scene - highlights are refreshed Tatsuya: How do you plan on getting an invitation? You could ask Penny, but it looks like that's going to have to be put on hold - the principal approaches you and says "Mr. Kowareta. My office. Now." What do you do? Sophie: You going to go to Virginia's meeting today? Taylor gave you a casual reminder about it during one of your classes. But as you're heading down a hallway, Atem steps out from a corner. He has one of his gross friends with him too. "Oh, hey! Fancy running into you here!" It's clearly not a coincidence. "Just wanted to ask you some questions." You hear footsteps from behind you. Looks like his other friend is behind you, blocking off your escape that way. What do you do? Lamia: Jason waves to you when he sees you and moves in to talk. "So, uh, what was that during lunch? Because Cassius said we'd hang out beforehand but now, well, I'm not sure." What do you do? Cassius: What do you think of Mia trying to get Jason to hang out with her, Sophie, and Tony? You don't have too long to dwell on it though - when you go to your locker to get your stuff, you see there's an envelope there. Inside of the envelope is a letter, typed on a computer and printed out. quote:Dear Cassius, In addition to the note, there's about a hundred dollars in a variety of denominations in the envelope. What do you do? Virginia: Your environmental group is supposed to meet up today. But what about those weird thoughts before? Sam is talking with Penny, in hushed tones. When she sees you, she looks a bit startled. "Oh! Hey Ginny! Talk to you later Penny." She walks over to you. "So, how'd it go? You sure about wanting Tatsu for your date? I mean, if he even gets invited?" What do you do?

Tatsuya: "Can't say the same thing to you." He ignores your question about his break. "Now then." He looks you straight in the eyes. "As you may know Mr. Kowareta, this is a small school. I hear things, even if they don't get reported. So while you may not, officially, be in trouble at the moment, I do know what you've been up to." He watches to see your reaction. "I keep bringing you in here, you say whatever it is that'll end the conversation quickest, and we go our separate ways until the next time you decide to act up. I can see this isn't going to work." He leans in closer, still staring intently at you. "What's your end game here Mr. Kowareta? I've been watching you and I think there's something more to you then just a teenage delinquent. Let's lay our cards on the table, shall we?" What do you think of what he's saying? And you've seen the old yearbooks with what seem to be his pictures in it year after year after year. Do you think he might actually know what's up with you or just bluffing? What do you do? Lamia: Jason looks at you and seems concerned for some reason. "Oh! Uh, well, Cassius is getting kind of popular and we haven't really hung out in a while, and I'm not sure about this party, and-" he stops himself. "Uh, well...look, I'm flattered but I. Uh. Don't really know you. I mean, I guess Penny wants to hang out with Cassius and I guess if that's what he wants, then...yeah, I suppose? But just as a friendly hangout before the party, right?" What do you think he's talking about? What do you do? Sophie: "No," he says simply right before his bigger friend, Tyler, grabs you from behind and then slams you against the wall. Take 1 Harm Kevin keeps a lookout as Atem stares at you while Tyler keeps you pinned. "So why were you spying on me and Lamia during lunch?" What do you do?

Tatsuya: "And I know there's something more to you too," he says calmly. He doesn't seem surprised at all at you bringing that up. In fact, he seems more confident. "It was something in the woods wasn't it? From your records, you didn't start acting up until shortly after you vanished for a few days. And you've changed a whole lot, haven't you?" The Principal takes a String on you "So Mr. Kowareta. I repeat my previous question. Why are you constantly causing trouble in my school? You don't have to tell me what exactly it is you are, but if you'd like for me not to start working on getting you expelled then I suggest we figure something out right now." What do you do? Sophie: Atem starts to retort, but it gets cut off by Tyler screaming "gently caress!" as you bite him hard. He lets go and puts a hand to his neck in surprise, checking to see if you actually made him bleed. In that moment, you're able to shove past him. Atem and Kevin try to reach for you, but neither of them are close enough to even be able to make a grab at you before you're gone. You got out of this situation, but do you have any idea what to do if they try again? When you stop running, you see Ginny and Sam are talking nearby. What do you do? Virginia: "If you say so." She seems more then a a little annoyed at you. Sam takes a String on you As you apologize and talk about her date, she seems to cheer up a bit. "Thanks. I think I can handle myself if some fangirl of his comes out." Sounds like she does just think it's a joke. Your conversation is interrupted when Sophie takes a brief pause from running right near you. What do you? Cassius: As your tongue touches the blood, you feel the sensation of several emotions hitting you. You can somehow tell you're going through the other vampire's mental state. You hit on the big one though: curiosity. About you, that is. About how you might react to something like this. But underneath the curiosity you can sense another emotion. Just a tinge, but it's there. Fear. The letter did say this wasn't the outcome they expected - meaning a new vampire running around isn't part of this person's plans. You could probably capitalize on that if you ever encounter them. The connection suddenly starts fading away, and you return to your normal state inside the bathroom. What do you do?

Tatsuya: "No, I don't. Here's the thing: If this is a need of yours, well, not much I can do about it I suppose. But you're not going to do it here at this school anymore. Aside from the trouble you've actually caused, I could put the blame for anything else that happens on you and I don't think anyone would object. And I will have no problem doing so in order to protect this place from you, do you understand? I will personally run you out of town if that's what it takes. If you're going to cause trouble, do it elsewhere. Got that?" He doesn't wait for you to respond. "Discussion over." He points to the door. What do you do?

Lamia: Jason looks kind of wary when he answers you. "You want to get those two together? Uh, I mean, I guess I could help if I hang out with you guys? Not too sure what I'd do. But yeah, count me in for a friend meet up then." He seems to emphasize the "friend" part for some reason. It looks like you've gotten Jason to do what you wanted him to do, as far as you can tell. What do you do?

Cassius: Sam returns your smile. "Yeah, sounds good to me." Take a String on Sam She turns to Ginny and the rest. "Have fun you guys. And behave yourselves!" She says this jokingly, but her gaze lands on Tatsu as she does. Then she heads out with Cassius. So where do you plan on going? And you have any ideas on what to do about the other vampire possible being around during that time?

Lamia: You try to think of something you could use, but if Sophie really was spying on him and you then that's going to make it easier for Atem to plead his case. Your thoughts are interrupted by a series of text messages that pop up.quote:HELLO NIECE quote:I REQUIRE YOUR ASSISTANCE quote:ALONG WITH THAT OF ATEM quote:WILL SPEAK MORE IN PERSON quote:NO DETAILS OVER PHONE Well, looks like that's Aunt Viritra. You can have a talk with Atem before you head home, but then you're going to need to see what she wants of you. Probably nothing good either, to say the least. What do you do? Virginia: People discuss various ideas. Some good, some bad. Nothing really great. As you process them and think to yourself, you can remember all the history lessons and books and movies and all the information you've gained about making changes. A lot of people worked to change things using non-violence, right? Why not follow in their footsteps? They tended to try to gain attention to their cause while doing so - maybe you could convince everyone to do something big and loud, but in a non-violent way to gain attention to your cause? What do you do? Tatsuya: Well, you could change yourself so that Sam no longer needs to worry. But...that's not possible anymore, is it? You feel that familiar sensation of wanting a hit. Why not kill two birds with one stone? Why not cause a huge disturbance? Why not do it while Sam is nearby? Why not make sure there's some kind of "accident" that makes sure she's not a problem anymore? Why not - woah You snap back, to see the group is still talking about a possible next step. Have you ever had thoughts like this before? What do you think of them? And right now, you can feel the need to indulge yourself growing. You can keep it under control for now, but if you don't do something soon...you can sense the dark impulses underneath your calm exterior, just waiting to burst out. What do you do? Cassius: Sam takes a break from petting Dog to look up at you. "Yeah I guess I wasn't very subtle, huh? Pretty much anyone other then Tatsu. He's just a load of trouble, and I don't want her to be around him the next time he does something crazy and almost kills himself." She pauses for a moment. "How well do you know Tatsu? You think he'd reconsider if someone else showed interest in him?" You can tell she's hoping you'll be able to help out somehow. What do you do? Sophie: Some messages come up: quote:not just names, but information about the movement itself For a while there's no more messages, but then a single one shows up again: quote:an opportunity to help her out may happen tonight. be alert What do you do?

Tatsuya: You hear a familiar laugh before the sound of a phone camera goes off. "Aww, did someone's girlfriend dump him already?" Looking up, you see it's Kyle. He's doing something else on his phone, and you very quickly realize he's about to send that picture out to his friends. If you don't want it to get out, you're going to have to do something quick. What do you do?

Tatsuya: Kyle stares back angrily. "Fine," he says. He moves the phone back away from your fingers and taps on it a few times. He shows you the screen. He didn't delete it. He sent it. "gently caress you. You aren't sorry at all. And you aren't going to do jack poo poo because I heard the principal got on your rear end about today. Doubt you have any good will left with him. See you, crybaby." He starts moving his wheelchair away. What do you do?

Cassius: She frowns at hearing your advice. "Yeah I don't know any girls who'd want to go out with him. I don't know though. Ginny seemed okay with overlooking his flaws...well, maybe she'll be more eager to get another date since Tatsu isn't coming to the party." She seems really confident about that. What do you do? Lamia: Atem looks surprised at first, and then turns patronizing. "Trying to find out what she was doing? She poppped up out of nowhere, clearly spying on us. You don't find that odd? What if she starts trying to spy on you when you're out doing something important? Besides, I overheard Tony talking about how she was butting in on him asking you out to the party so that she could go with you instead. I don't know if you realize this Lamia but humans find the same gender dating each other weird. Trust me, I've been around them long enough to know a thing or two. You're....kind of on the outside, you know what I mean?" Atem spends his String to give you the condition Outsider What do you do? Holding off on other prompts until I know what Ginny/Sophie are doing

Lamia: "Yeah, but I specifically asked for a private chat and she decides to poke her head in? And I'm just telling you what I heard Tony say, okay? If your 'friend' tries to spy on us again though I think everyone will support me. But fine, whatever. I guess I could leave her alone for now, but she bit Tyler on the neck really hard. He's not just going to let that go easily you know?" He thinks for a moment. "Well...maybe if I tell him that he can get invited to the party as well if he drops it? Along with Kevin too, he's not going to want to be left out if me and Tyler are going. You can arrange that, right?" What do you do? Cassius: She looks alarmed when you say Tatsu is going to crash the party. "What? Well, he isn't getting an invite because I was talking to Penny earlier and she doesn't like him either. But if he's going to just loving crash...aaaarrggh!" She seems really angry at him now. "Great. I suppose this removes the chances of the cops not breaking this party up. Maybe I should warn Penny about this." She's taking her phone out right now. What do you do? Heliotrope fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Apr 22, 2016 |

Lamia: "Then I can't make any promises about them not getting Sophie back." When you ask what he did, he hesitates. "Well, I wanted to make sure she wouldn't snoop around again. So I got the two of them and we confronted her after school. That's all." Are you going to push him furthur on this? You can see your house coming up, there probably isn't too much time to continue this conversation before you have to see what your Aunt wants you two to do. What do you do? Cassius: She laughs along with you as she puts her phone away. "Sorry. Didn't mean for all this drama to come up. Why don't you grab us some drinks, and I'll make sure this little guy," she ruffles Dog's head, "stays here and is a good boy." The two of you sit at a table set up outside. Sam takes a quick sip from her drink and then says, "So let's talk about something better like you suggested. How about yourself? I don't think I'd seen you around before, but now you seem to be Mr. Popular. What's your secret?" she says jokingly. What do you do? Sophie: Tatsu is going to murder Kyle. You know this. He wasn't just wheeled in, he was gagged and the door closed. Tatsu is going to murder someone, and can you even do anything about it? You have the help of someone else, but Tatsu doesn't need help fighting. There's no way you can stand up to him. ...is there? If you want to confront Tatsu, take the Terrified condition but with none of the benefits. Otherwise, you can leave Tatsuya: Kyle is just yelling (or trying to, through the gag) in a mix of fear and rage, over and over again, interrupted by being smashed around. Shouldn't be too hard to finish this. Except that the door opens and you see Sophie, staring at what's going on. What do you do? Virginia: You hear a knock on the door, and see it's Susan. You know her as Sam's friend. You know anything else about her? She looks around the room. "Uh, so is this where you guys gather for the whole 'saving the forest' thing?" Would you have pegged her as someone interested in this? Regardless, she's walking in to an empty seat. What do you do? Heliotrope fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Apr 24, 2016 |

Cassius: "Well, I'm not as into it as Ginny is. She's really passionate, and I just help out sometimes. The other times I'm at practice with the other cheerleaders. When we get together we love watching shows like Project Runaway - do you watch it? You should have seen last week's show, this one contestant made this amazing dress with what I thought was an unwinnable order! I'd love to say we'd go to music concerts, but good luck getting any bands here in Prosperity, right?" She's continuing to talk, when a voice interrupts. "Oh hey Sam. Didn't think I'd see you out here." It's a guy named Jared, who on the basketball team as well. You remember seeing him at Pete's party, before the cops broke it up. Sam looks kind of irritated at his presence, but he turns to you. "Oh, hey you're...uh, Cassius, right? Me and Sam used to date. Yeah. Anyway, you going to the party this Friday? Your sister could get you in again." You can see he wants to ruin this date for you two. What do you do? Sophie: You run into the library, away from that scene. Do you think you should do anything about Kyle, or are you willing to let that resolve on it's own? Entering the library, you see there's a new person there - Susan - talking to Ginny. Lily notices you come in and looks concerned. "Hey, you all right Sophie? What happened?" What do you do? Tatsuya: Gain a String on Sophie So Sophie has magic and video of you sending a threatening message. You have any plans on how to deal with that? For that matter, what are you going to do about Kyle? Apparently you can't hurt him anymore but he's lying down on the ground, bleeding, not moving. What do you do? Lamia: "I just told you that - " Atem stops as you stare into his eyes. He stumbles forward a bit, not blinking. Then, slowly, it hits him as to what you're doing. "Hey. H-hey." He sluggishly moves forward, cutting of eye contact. "Cut it OUT!" He attempts to tackle you, but just comically bounces off you, the effects of your stare still going through him. What do you do?

Cassius: Jared stares at you for a moment. "Okay." He says, and turns around. Sam was clearly expecting him to do more, but just watches as he immediately leaves. She looks at you. "Uh...so what was that about? How'd you get him to do that? He's stubborn as hell, I thought we'd be here for a good five-ten minutes arguing?" She doesn't suspect anything out of the ordinary, but you can tell she does think it's weird that he would just leave. Speaking of Jared, you can see he's going to the nearest house and just pressing the doorbell over and over again. Well, you did tell him to "bother" someone else. What do you do? Tatsuya: It starts off going according to plan. Kyle rolls down, leaving some blood splatters from the wounds you've already given him. By a stroke of luck, no one is paying attention to where he's at and he lands in the field. Then one of the players, running backwards to catch the ball, trips over Kyle's body. He falls down straight onto one leg, and you swear you can hear the sound of his bone breaking. He starts screaming in pain, and the rest of the team quickly looks over and sees what's going on. As they do, you finally feel relief, the high you needed, and the dark urge from when you were in the library fade away. How good does it feel? How does it feel knowing someone else got badly hurt? Because through your blissful haze, you can hear the coach yelling, trying to calm things down while talking about calling 911. Probably for both of them, from the looks of it. What do you do?

Lamia: "And I told you, they're not just going to leave her alone after that! Ugh, nevermind, if you want to go after them then I guess it's your call." He keeps his eyes away from yours. "Whatever, let's just go see what Mom wants." He sulks away from the conversation, refusing to continue it. You arrive at your home, Grandpa waving at the two of you as you enter the house. Aunt Vritra is waiting, and looks around before closing the door. She doesn't even bother with asking about your day or anything like that. "So I was thinking about how we need to expand our influence. And how worrying about the police might make some of us," she takes a look at you, "hesitant to do what needs to be done. So here's what I need the two of you to do. This is very important, all right?" Atem's nodding along. Then she takes out two knives, and hands one to each of you. "We need to show the police of this town that they should fear us, and to keep away from our activities. The house of an important member, Mrs. Wright, is empty right now. They have a house animal. Go to that home, kill the animal, and put our symbol in it's blood on the walls. This will show them they're not safe from us, and leave us free to peruse our interests." Atem seems to be fine with this plan. You can tell this is kind of a bad idea. What do you do?"

Virginia: "Okay, sounds good to me." She sits down and reaches into her bag. She pulls out a snack sized bit of beef jerky and starts eating. Are you going to say something about that? As you said, you don't have a lot of people here already and chastising her might scare her off. Still, she is eating meat...what do you do?

Sophie: Lily watches your mouth closely, worry coming onto her face as you talk. "Uh, if that's the case you should really tell them." She's already trying to figure who you're talking about. "How dangerous are we talking here? Maybe you should go to the principal? Or the police if it's bad enough?" Well, she'll probably pass it along the grapevine but now you've got her attention and curiosity. What do you do? Tatusya: You come back in. Ginny's talking to Susan, who must have shown up while you were out. Meanwhile, Sophie is talking to a very worried looking Lily. What do you do? Virginia: She looks up in surprise, beef jerky in her mouth. "Okay, okay, jesus I'll put it away." She does, but you can see she knows just how much that got to you. Susan takes a String on you "You know," she says as she readjust herself in her chair. "It might help if you didn't snap at everyone who didn't know all the rules. You want more people here, right? Just saying." Susan uses Judgemental to act at an advantage against you and gains another String What do you do? Cassius: "Yeah...fair enough." You can tell she's not quite buying it, but not enough to hassle you over it. "Definitely can't wait for the party. As for it being Tatsu-free, we'll have to see about that. But I'm sure it'll work out. Anyway, so while we're talking about it: you have a date to the party yet? 'Cause if not, well, you can have one now." She smiles at you. What do you do?

Lamia: She shrugs. "If they start trying to find out who did it, we do the same thing to another officer. They'll give up eventually. Now here's the address, go quickly while the house is empty!" She hands you a piece of paper and then makes shooing motions for you to go out. What do you do?

Lamia: "Yeah good idea on the gloves." Atem gets those. "And we don't need a hammer to get in." He shows you some lockpicks. "I've been learning how to use these from my friends," he says very proudly. "We won't have to worry about noise." The two of you arrive at the Wright's house. Your aunt was right about there not being anyone at home. Atem manages to unlock the door. "There we go!" He says, grinning widely as the door opens. He lets you in first and then enters himself, closing the door behind him. So what's your plan here? How are you going to get to the dog? Cassius: "Oh. Uh, but yeah! You'll see me there." Sam waves goodbye as the two of you part ways. After dropping Dog back home, you're back out in town. As you're heading to your next destination though, you see...is that Mia? And looks like her cousin is with her. They're in front of a house, which you realize is Sam and Ginny's home. Looks like no one is there though. Then the two of them get the door open and walk in. What do you do? Sophie: "Well...okay. If that's what you think is best." Meanwhile, Tatsu is sitting with his head in his arms. How do you plan on getting to talk to him in private? What do you do? Tatsuya: Pretty bad day. Do you have any plan of what to do if Principal Mills makes good on his threat? Or even just dealing with the police if they find out you were behind what just happened? Virginia: You think, and think. As you look over Tatsu, thinking about how he's helped out, you suddenly see he has blood just covering his hands. There's blood on his boots and you even see that he left a bloody trail of footprints. You look, and then suddenly - it's gone. No blood on Tatsu's hands, no bloody footprints. But you know something's wrong. Susan looks at you, and you realize you haven't responded to her yet. What do you do?
