"Well, you could take up painting again. Go to art museums, exotic locations, that sort of thing. I'm sure we could keep you safe, and I could sponsor that, if you'd like."
Ophis

"You'd help me be an artist?"
emo samurai
Aug 12 2006, 09:17 AM
"Of course. There's little else for me to do outside of slowly go insane watching people when they can't see me. Long story. The point is, I have all the money and time I will ever need, I don't know what to do with it all, and if I ever ran out of money, I could just produce more orichalcum, which would hardly take up my time."

She looks at you in a puzzled sort of way. You'd think some who had been resuced by people at a risk to themselves, and them looked after for free by serious runner bodyguards would realise that there are some nice people in the world.

"Okay. I guess I want you to help me be an artist. If I can do it safely, please tell me you can protect me from Kratos."
emo samurai
Aug 13 2006, 01:51 AM
"Actually, in a week, Kratos might be a moot point. Phoenix and company are currently seeing if they have a good way of killing him. If you wish to wait until then, be my guest. Otherwise, yes, I can protect you. I could provide you with several very convincing fake SIN's, from Wuxing itself, and a physical masking spell. If you're squeamish about working with Wuxing, I want you to know that the woman I know comes from a completely different world from your parents. She was born into the Chinese countryside, ran away at the age of 15 to join an investment company, and used a loan I footed to buy it out and sell it to Wuxing for a huge profit five years later. She most likely has no idea who your parents are, and her outlook on life will not resemble theirs in the least."
Ophis

I don't want anything to do with Wuxing.
emo samurai
Aug 17 2006, 01:24 PM
"She has nothing to do with the Wuxing you know. You're just another client, and your parents are just another pair of middle managers. You're on my dollar now, not theirs, and unlike them, I will help you become an artist.
If that still doesn't convince you, Phoenix could always help with the SINs."
Ophis
Aug 19 2006, 07:26 AM
"I suppose, I just don't like Wuxing, to many bad memories from school."
emo samurai
Aug 19 2006, 05:15 PM
"Phoenix it is, then.
When do you want to start?"
Ophis
Aug 20 2006, 10:00 AM
She looks kinda shocked, the pace seems to have taken her by surprise. "Umm, not yet, I'm not quite ready to try life yet, but give me few days."
emo samurai
Aug 20 2006, 01:47 PM
"Very good.
Anything else you wish to tell me?"
Ophis
Aug 20 2006, 08:06 PM
"Nothing that springs to mind. Thank you for the time."
emo samurai
Aug 20 2006, 11:14 PM
"You're very welcome." If she assenses fine, he'll get up and leave.
[ Spoiler ]
Is she put off by the apparent offhandedness of his manner?
Ophis
Aug 21 2006, 08:10 AM
"Thanks."
[ Spoiler ]
She doesn't look perfect astrally, naturally, but a whole lot better. She doesn't seem troubled by your manner
emo samurai
Aug 21 2006, 04:57 PM
"No trouble. I hope you find happiness in your art." Shen gets up, leaves, and comlinks Cheerleader to lead him to Hannah after hearing Wing answer.
[ Spoiler ]
I'd be more troubled if she DID look perfect astrally.
Ophis
Aug 21 2006, 05:05 PM
"Goodbye, I hope we can talk again, maybe I could do your portrait."
[ Spoiler ]
your samrter than you look. On an OOC note I'm away thurday through monday at a LARP event, as this seems a good break shall we leave it here for now? Resume tuesday 29/8 or 8/29 depending how you look at it.
emo samurai
Aug 21 2006, 06:02 PM
"I hope to see you too. I'm sure my portrait will be very good."
[ Spoiler ]
Yes, we could, as long as you tell me what you're larping.

You head out of the room back to the main part of the house. Cheerleader nods at you from the couch.
"That seemed to work out. You want a chance to unwind before you try another?"
Her feral companion is nowhere to be seen.
emo samurai
Aug 31 2006, 01:22 PM
"Sure."
[ Spoiler ]
Assensing her. 4 successes with 10 dice

Nothing to surprising, her emotions are calm and controlled, she appears to be an uninitiated shamen.
She nods, "Can I get you a drink or something to eat?"
emo samurai
Sep 1 2006, 02:23 PM
"Maybe some tea.
So what can you tell me about Hannah?"
Ophis
Sep 3 2006, 12:35 PM
Cheerleader wanders over to the kitchenette and starts to sort out a pot of tea,jasmine by the smell.
"Charlotte? Not that much really she's SINless and probably always has been, seems to be coping okay, but we suspect covering up. We think she may be an adept of some sort."
emo samurai
Sep 3 2006, 03:01 PM
"Has she told you much about her past?"
Ophis
Sep 4 2006, 03:00 PM
"She hasn't said much I could repeat to my mother."
emo samurai
Sep 4 2006, 08:25 PM
"Anything useful?"
Ophis
Sep 4 2006, 11:59 PM
"Couple of nice insults, but nothing really useful."
emo samurai
Sep 5 2006, 02:22 PM
"Any tips on getting her to talk to me?"
Ophis
Sep 6 2006, 05:05 PM
"Not really sure, she seems happy to rant, so getting her started shouldn't be a problem, but useful stuff? Not really sure. Wildside tried, but just got an offer he had to refuse."
emo samurai
Sep 6 2006, 08:17 PM
"I see. I suppose I may as well get started."
Ophis
Sep 6 2006, 09:24 PM
"Drink the tea first, I'd rather Wildside was back before you leave the room."
emo samurai
Sep 7 2006, 04:17 AM
"Okay."
[ Spoiler ]
Am I still glowing when I assense? I edited it out of my character sheet when SM came along.
Ophis
Sep 7 2006, 07:41 AM
[ Spoiler ]
no then, any chance of a updated sheet?
emo samurai

Did you get my new character sheet?

You sit and sip the tea, it's surprisingly good by Seattle standards. After about twenty minutes Wildside bursts through the front door. He makes some sort of hand signal to Cheerleader and points at the window in the kitchen area.
"Move!" says Cheerleader, diving off the sofa away from the kitchen.
[ Spoiler ]
Yes to the question. Oh and roll initiative

I burn a point of edge to go first. If it's a sniper, going second could be fatal. We can assume I'm wearing my armor jacket.
Ophis
Sep 12 2006, 03:55 PM
[ Spoiler ]
okay what's your action? But first some drama..
As Cheerleader shouts, the kitchen window explodes inwards infront of the feet of a heavy set and completely covered humanoid. The sound of running feet breaks out on the stairs and and a second crash echoes the first from the bathroom.

Jumping for cover, Shen weaves mana into his very nervous system, syncing and lubricating synapses. The world slows to a crawl and is brought into a new sort of focus, normally allowed only to the wired and powerful adepts.
[ Spoiler ]
He runs to cover with his free action and casts Increase Reflexes on himself, force 4. He makes all 4 successes. He resists 4 drain with 4 successes.
I'm learning a self-only armor spell next so this never happens again.
Ophis

Wildchild executes a rapid backflip, somehow fitting in a 180° flip to land back in the doorway with a bound he disappears through the door. Cheerleader moves with blinding speed in a graceful dance as she throws a bolt of power at the man who came through the window, he reels backwards as if hit by a troll. Then gunfire erupts from the stairs. The one enemy you can see recovers quickly from Cheerleader's magical blitz, he brings up his gun blasts a pair of burst towards he keeping the barrel under tight control. Impossibly fast Cheerleader dives for cover even so you think both bursts make contact.
[ Spoiler ]
Like I'm telling you my rolls.Now since you have four passes it's time you rolled initiative for the rest of the round, the edge only works for one pass.
emo samurai

Initiative result of 14. Do I go first?
Ophis

It gets a fourteen and it thinks it goes first? It waits it's turn or it gets the hose.

Okay, so what do the other dudes do?
Ophis
Sep 14 2006, 07:43 AM
From the stairs comes the sound of breaking wood, shortly followed by a loud thump as if some one fell through the guard rail. In the room with you a somewhat bloodied Cheerleader finishes her dive with a roll to her feet and throws a second Manabolt at the thug, who crumples like a sack of potatoes. She flashes you a grin that shifts to a scowl as a pair of spirits one a horse wreathed in flame and the other a beautiful woman with leaves for hair enter from the bathroom, the horse snorts a gout of flame towards you, as the dryad dives towards Cheeerleader.
[ Spoiler ]
Roll reaction to dodge, then body+1/2 impact+counterspelling+2 to soak, after thats sorted we're onto your turn
emo samurai
Sep 15 2006, 02:59 PM
Shen somehow manages to shrug off the fire and drown the two spirits in concentrated life energy.
[ Spoiler ]
Counterspelling on Cheerleader, 4 successes on counterspelling, 2 successes with body and impact, no dice pool for dodge because of sustained spell. 2 successes with a force 5 manaball on the spirits, 1 successes against 4 drain. Fuck.
