Honey, Loki darlin', I am a mother to a teenagedramaqueen and a dramatweecrownprincess who is turning out pretty much the same way as her big sister. You have no idea of what hell is. Trust me.
Hel, Midgardswyrm and Fenris. My kids can make Fenris beg for scraps, use the Midgardswyrm as a skip rope and make Hel wear make up.


Mmm, my sister was like that (it has so far appeared that college has turned her into a human being, though this may be due to the fact that I see her for days at a time, and not extended periods).
I may actually grant her ownership of her fingers again (I claimed them one at a time some years back because she was poking me).

The point is not how much is he willing to pay you, the question should be what does he have that you'd want.

I could always stop useing my technomancer powers and allow Dumpshock Data haven to realise.

Hey now, my last (i.e. only) technomancer was initially designed with the intent and backstory to be fighting against AIs.

(Space opera themed game, where once a civ advances to a high enough tech level, all computers get infected with a virus that is being broadcast over the entire galaxy (and has been for a while) that causes machines to become sentient and overthrow their creators. My character would have been incapable of getting cyber and would have had an ASIST device of some kind to access the matrix, and while logged in his home system revolts, throwing him into the ether, outruns various AIs and eventually meets the rest of the players. It was intended to be unclear if he was a dataghost or a technomancer who couldn't figure out how to log out).

1116: I am not allowed to refer to my genitalia IRL, at least not to my gaming compatriots.
1116a: This rule may be temporarily voided by the GM in the instance that the player in question meets the following criteria:
  • Player must be the opposite sex of the majority of the other players (IE the girl in the group composed of mostly guys, or vice versa).
  • A vote must be held by the group to determine if the player in question is attractive enough to be talking about said genitalia without disgusting the group.
  • The Player must have bathed the day of said mentioning of genitalia, and the reference can not be of a disgusting manner.
  • In the event that the reference to said genitalia is misunderstood by any member of the group, the player in question must be willing to display said genitalia to the group.
  • In the event the player in question is unwilling to cooperate, the GM may call into effect the "Tits or GTFO" clause, in which case the unwilling piece of eye candy- er...player in question will be expelled for the rest of the gaming period, so as the others may converse about the player in question behind their backs.


NOTE: It is important that the player in question be of the legal age of consent, 18 years old in most of America.

IIRC, 18 is the safe bet, but many places go down to 15, and in Mississippi, a virgin can consent at age 12 (this is, of course, a one-time deal).

Jericho Alar
just incidentally, the virgin age 12 consent thing is probably not something you want to rely on in the mississippi court of law. while I don't feel like doing the research I'm pretty sure it's bluebooked by a later statute that just neglected to repeal it.
