On Dead Wings, The LA Gossip Options

[Karoline]

With the Bilingual Merit, yes. though I don't really think its worth the 5BP.

Well, it does grant 7 BP or so worth of a free language skill. It largely depends on how much the GM actually uses the rules for language. You should technically be making a check any time you converse, but most GMs go on a 'if you have the language, you can speak/understand it fine as long as scientific terms don't come up' regardless of rating.

Still, I took it mostly for RP reasons.

Wow, nice roll.

Now you just have to hope you can keep it up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Just a quick note to say I currently have a ton of work to get done, but I should be able to get a post up by tonight (or in the wee hours of the morning).
I'll try to get my character's sheet up also.

@Trigger
I was wondering, even tho all our characters are somewhat new to the LA scene, do they know each other?
Also, I realized I never sent you my contacts descriptions. I'll do so as soon as I can.

That's a good question. I don't know about anyone else, but I actually have local fame from appearing in a few indie trids and sims, so there is a chance someone might know of my character (Haven't determined the exact trids yet or anything though) from that.

It did sound like from his original post that we wouldn't know each other, but I could be reading into it too much.

Karoline is right, unless you really want to know one of the other characters all ready, and have a good reason for it, none of you know each other.

@Karoline: Yes, you read into it just right.

Other question: Will all sheets be public? Could do a wiki then.

[Embers]

I'm building a webpage for Fox based Karoline's. Just about done aside from finding a host and the equipment.

Only if you want them to be. As long as I know what is on your sheet then I am happy, I don't care who else you show it too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

How adaptable is that sheet? I prefer to have the DP Modifiers visible as well.

Its just straight HTML.

You can use freewebhostx.com like I am. They don't charge anything and give you 10 gigs a month of free webtraffic as well as a gig of storage.

The sheet is basically fully adaptable, it isn't hard to add new sections and whatnot. Take off the part after the .com on my sheet and you'll see what I adapted the current one from.

Edit: Yeah, it is just HTML so you can basically throw in anything you want.

[Karoline]

Nothing like the site crashing for a day and a half to really jumpstart a game (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Yeah, I can finally stop refreshing my browser and being disappointed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Test Results:

@Embers:

[ Spoiler ]

Fashion: Yamashiro is usually frequented by those wearing nuevo-traditional Japanese attire, and off the rack suits, usually a week behind the current fashion trend. The current thing for them is are Japanese school uniforms. (Also, you do know that you got a glitch on this roll, don't you?)

LA Area Knowledge: You know nothing about the area around Yamashiro, or Yamashiro itself besides the general location of it, and even then you may be off by a mile or two.

Entertainment Industry: Some minor B and C list sim stars will occasionally have dinner there before moving onto a more popular destination for the rest of their night.

@Fuchs:

[ Spoiler ]

News on Apollo: Apollo was last seen at the newest hottest club in LA, The Rising, where it is rumored there were a number of high profile celebs, Horizon up and comings, and socialites of all flavors.

Apollo's Fashion: Apollo has recently been wearing something that looks like a Vashon Island piece, but of a style that no one has seen before. The net is abuzz with speculation about who designed it and where he got it, and more importantly where they can get one too.

Dance Test: Your dance goes quite well, but it is not one of the best dances you have done. You make 54 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) in tips from your dance.

[Karoline]

Oh, right, the long outage made me forget that I wanted to do a knowledge check too.

Int 4 + LA Club Scene 1 + School of Hard Knocks 1 (6d6.hits(5)=3)

[Embers]

Apparently it doesn't like me, I wasn't thinking about a glitch on 8 dice, just the number of hits...oh well, quick changes are what the Fashion spell is made for after all. Although I'm thinking that she'd wear something that was a bit more...aged up...rather than aged down like a school girl uniform given her youth and desire to be taken seriously. Most likely a silky slinky green kimono over black pants, something that says beautiful and fun, but fits in and can be practical.

[Karoline]

A kimono with pants?

[BlackHat]

like this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Karoline]

like this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Exactly, horrible.

[Embers]

Gah, not like that.

Black tights. Fashion wouldn't be able to remove all the material from the legs regardless. But ugh, that white is just awful.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) I figured that's what you were thinking. Still seems a bit of a missmatch.

[Embers]

It depends on the colors and the length of the kimono.

I'm sure with 2072 fashion technology - just about anything could be made to work - and their fashion would look as rediculous to us, here in 2009-2010 as the fashion of the 50s looks to us, now.

Except some of the 'latest fashion' stuff looks ridiculous to me right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

I was just kinda thinking that though, fashion is likely to have changed alot by 2072. Then again, some classics never seem to go out of style, like suits for men.
