Well that sucks the magic out our relationship Glyph!

Your rating 4 background count extends .1 meter (so a foot basically) from you. I am currently at 1 magic point until I get away from you.

Thanks! He should have some fun with that once he figures out all the details.

Basically it is a -4 background count, with a radius equal to their essence (thankfully Void's essense is .1).

PS: Give Jovie a hug....

Couple of points on that Astral Hazing:

1) Most effects on Essence round things to the nearest full point. In Void's case, that would make it a minimum of 1 meter. As far as I can tell there has been no tests done by the team to determine the exact range of the field around Void. But, yes, hanging on to him on a motorcycle is in range no matter what.

2) If Void stays in one spot, the field begins to expand, growing by a meter in diameter every 2 or 3 hours. So, don't sleep in the same hotel room.

So in 8 hours it might be a 4 meter radius (basically 12 feet). So does it reset the minute he moves more than 1 meter? Or does it go down gradually?

It doesn't say, but I figure it resets as soon as he moves. At least, his effect on his surroundings resets. That hypothetical hotel room might be distasteful for a while.

Hmmm... so what happens if Void is sitting in a bus for a long trip? Does the environment outside the bus stay unaffected, while the atmosphere inside, which moves with him, slowly becomes toxic to the Awakened? I think the latter makes sense.

But! If he continually gets up and walks around the bus a bit, he should be able to nullify that expanding effect. So don't tie him up, Zo! (Yeah, right.) Let him walk around.

Damn! I should try to be less complete in my answers. It would have been fun to see Void sitting quietly on a bus.

Why do I get the scene in my head where a young kid looks behind his seat and starts making faces at him. Void probably wouldn't react in any shape or form would be how it played out.

I am still barely afloat. I may need to step out temporarily. I don't want to continue holding things up, though - pbangarth, are you willing to take over basic action for me for a short while? He just needs to summon a water elemental to Conceal them and Rush a Weather Control roll, and look up the address of the meeting place first so that he doesn't get lost traveling there via astral projection. Be aware that I (and therefore Jovan) already suspect that you have several additional tails shadowing Orlando out of sight in the area, and that said tails will converge on Void and Zo once we decapitate the one currently following him.

Got it. I'll play J. for a while. Might be fun to ham it up a bit!

Anything I/we can do to help?

I'm out a lot till Monday evening. I'll go over Jovan's stats and history through the next few days so I can do him justice.

So, finally downloaded some of Jovan's dialogue. Should be fun.

Started new contract job, got tied up with that and other things. Sorry for the delay.

That's ok, I think we're all waiting. Sephiroth might even be available now.

That long, huh?

Good guess, but not quite. I happened to check in right now mainly by coincidence. I am still struggling to keep my head above water financially, though things are starting to improve with a few potential freelance clients, and I am in a dev bootcamp now with promises to get me a decent SE job (finally) and put an end to my 2-years-long employment struggles at last. My time is still heavily overloaded, but I might be able to return within 2 weeks. I have no intention of forgetting about this and leaving you guys hanging forever.

pbangarth, I'm disappointed in you.

*cracks knuckles* Alright guys, give me another day or two to finish up some training work currently on my plate, and then I'll try to get us back on track.
