Down in the Gutter: OOC, The Nuts and Bolts of Staying Alive Options

[pragma]

@WR1
I know you're busy but I shot you a PM and wanted to double check that it hasn't vanished into the ether.

[WinterRat1]

Slip - You're fine, as long as Baby doesn't move or otherwise draw attention to yourself. Be aware they may know you're there, they just might not care. If Baby's seriously stupid enough to make a move at this point...well, uh, great character, I suggest starting work on your next one!

As for her condition monitor, I'm going to say Baby has 7 boxes of Stun and 7 boxes of Physical. My rationale is she's been physically, mentally, emotionally, and sexually been beaten into the ground for the past several days, with very little, if any, real time to actually recover. She’s not quite on the verge of death (after all, they just wanted to beat her into submission, not kill her outright), but she’s very messed up since it was over such a prolonged period of time.

Pragma – I have your PM, I need time alone with Arsenal to ponder your questions and give you a good reply.

[Slipshade]

WR1 - No Baby isn't stupid. She's not even gonna twitch. I completely agree with your damage assessment as well. I will record the damage on the wiki.

[WinterRat1]

Slip - One more thing, Baby knows the name Cherry as well. Everyone knows he's the Number 2 for the UV Nights, and as such is a fearsome character in Kingsgate as well.

Not so much for who he himself is (although that's certainly part of it; you don't get to be the number 2 in that group by being a slouch) but for who he represents, namely the single most dreaded individual in Kingsgate: Meltdown.

Yep, I'm sure Baby is going to be VERY quiet indeed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Side Note: I really liked her internal monologue, it didn't even occur to me that from another POV, it could look like Legion and Nevada are together. Very interesting...

Yeah that just came together weird. I was thinking about what Baby knows, which is very little and what she sees. She knows the warehouse is gone and was told there were no survivors. She makes it back and sees Nevada, who kind of had a rep as a girl that didn't have a problem sleeping her way to the top, with Legion of all people on the 8-Balls old turf. Just kind of fell into place. Baby won't likely jump to any conclusions, but she can't rule it out either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Vegas - That was kinda her rep wasn't it? If I was reading things right.

Slip - I would suppose she could definitely carry that rep, even if it's not entirely accurate. Then again it's the streets of Kingsgate, who cares about accuracy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Run with it, it still fits the character very well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Slipshade]

@ Vegas - Just wanted to make sure I wasn't throwing something out there that was totally opposite Nevada's character.

Oh lord no. Not at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[WinterRat1]

Slipshade - How could you possibly think that way about Nevada! She's as pure as the freshly fallen snow!

[Slipshade]

LOL!

[Vegas]

Yeah, the Yellow kind.

[Slipshade]

Hehe

After all the hurry to catch up to everyone, it feels weird not having to post all the time.

I'll just HAVE to write up something for Five Corners now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Meriss]

@Slipshade: Please do. I think it would be awesome. If for no other reason than that it would give us (the players) in visualizing Baby's formative environment. Or why she is the way she is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

@Winter: I guess from Grendel's non reaction to Inks message that the Trix has not diminished its appetite in any way? Or maybe Legion just does't give a flying fuck. Or who knows? Does Inks message home get there? Also I have an idea on how to move Ink and Child foward to get them back to HQ. I was thinking on posting my next IC with them starting to do some scavenging in Corsairs turf. I'll post that tommorrow. Need to sleep.

[Vegas]

@Meriss

Grendel not responding might have more to do with the fact that Legion is over 3 hours ahead of you IC in game time (when you posted). Hard to respond in a "flashback" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Meriss]

@Vegas: True. Never thought of it that way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Oh well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Hmmm shall I advance? yay or nay?

[Fresno Bob]

So how are we handling the pool game? Opposed Agility + Logic test, like in the 410 Crash game? If so, I'll just go ahead and do that...

Agility 7 + Logic 2 = 9 dice.
2 [6] [6] 1 [5] 4 3 [6] 1 = 4 hits.

[Abbandon]

Ooooo I dont know how you did it in 410 but I instantly thought of a way.. first you roll 1 die and consult a table:

[ Spoiler ]

1. combo on 9 ball, instant win [5]
2. bank shot [4]
3. combo shot [3]
4. straight in [2]
5. combo shot [3]
6. jump shot [4]

The numbers in brackets is the threshold for the shot. I play a ton of pool on yahoo lol.

[WinterRat1]

Hey All - Real Life hit me kind of hard over the last few days, sorry there hasn't been much in the way of updates from me. Look for me to get caught up this weekend.

[Fresno Bob]

I play in a lot of pool halls, heh...

While that would work, I like the less cumbersome and neater Logic + Agility test.

[Slipshade]

@ WinterRat1 - No problem. I don't know about everyone else, but it gave me a chance to get caught up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[pragma]

Pool Test, Agi+Log # dice 8 :: 1 5 3 1 6 1 4 2 -- 2 hits

Thumper gets stomped. Which is pretty appropriate -- this isn't his strong suit.

I'm ready to IC up to the present if we get cleared for chronological advancement.

[Fresno Bob]

Thats fine by me.

[Meriss]

@Winter: The general idea is for Ink and Child to wander around in Corsairs turf to find whatever they can salvage. If they see any old Corsairs Ink will offer them membership in the Ravens. Also he wants the whores to keep an eye for any potential buisness.

If you want to fast forward through this, I don't mind. Or if you want to RP it out thats cool too.

[WinterRat1]

Abbandon -

First Aid Test by the Clinic: 8 hits
Less: Minimum Threshold of 2

Total Boxes of Physical Healed from Clinic's First Aid Test: 6 boxes.

Physical Healing Test
Total Hits: 3
Time to Heal 1 Box of Physical: 8 hours

Time to Heal all Stun: 5 hours.

No Physical Boxes healed due to rest as of 20:00:00.

Summary:
It took Fool 5 hours to sleep off all the Stun. He also healed 6 Physical boxes due to the clinic's first aid test. Apparently there's something to be said for being treated by trained professionals in a good environment.

Fool will wake up at 20:00:00 with 0 Stun and 2 Physical, and will heal an additional box of Physical per 8 hours of rest, per our healing time rules.

Let me know if you have any questions.

[Abbandon]

Can I keep the hospital clothes ?? lol.

I know I couldnt make the first aid test for the clinic but was I suppose to have made my own healing roll? The only reason im asking is because If I was and you were waiting on it I didnt mean to make you wait.

ooc: I will be waiting around until everyone catches up to me timewise. I guess I will work on a dream sequence but hold on on posting it.
