Just check my last IC Post, it should clear things up.

If there are spirits present in the astral, Siren will mention that, too, of course; depending on their Force they are visible as faint shimmers in the physical as well, though. At least I think so.

Confusion cleared up. My original impression came through once enough hits were scored on an assensing test.

Papa's knowledge about ally spirits: Magic Theory(1) + Logic(4) + Mnemonic Enhancer(2) [4,3,4,6,2,5,1] = 2 hits

Fenris: I figured you'd want a little bit of a challenge.

What sort of cowboy backs down from a little challenge?

If Assensing the aura further helps with discerning, whether she speaks the truth, Siren will keep her astral senses trained on her.

Otherwise good old judge intentions will have to do.

Going to use Psychometry but I don't know all the modifiers (Street Magic pg 58) so I will let you roll it. I have 8 dice in my pool and I was going to add Edge (3) to the roll for a total of 11 dice.

Thanks!

Less than 1 month since the impression (-4), Subject has strong emotion (+2), Impression of violence or strong emotions (+3), Impression of violent death (+4) (I'm assuming being splattered in blood from the murder is enough to associate my impression with the death itself) for a total of +5 based on what I know.

GM would need to rule on number of significant impressions. Suffice to say, she isn't married, doesn't have kids, would be pretty inured to the death of animals, given her trade, and hasn't lost too many other loved ones to violent deaths, just to give Bishop some background.

I made the roll after modifiers. Results posted.

Was the feeling of familiarity associated with this vessel/incarnation or from before I left?

Buddha--From before you left.

so of course, now that I'm back, I'm watching the boards like a freakin' hawk, all eager to play and post...


[friendly enthusiasm] POSTPOSTPOSTPOSTPOST [/friendly]

I keep tabs on my iPad while I'm at work

Could we get character descriptions going for everyone?

Dalma
Human, average build and height, brown skin, short black hair and brown eyes. For the more observant, you can see Henna tattoos popping out on her hands. She is currently wearing a long dress which goes down to her ankles and a jacket is folder around her arm.

Father
Human, average build and height (taller than Dalma), brown skin, short black hair and blue eyes. He is currently wearing black pants and a sports jacket with a white shirt underneath.

BishopMcQ
I'm assuming for the more observant they would see some decay? Or does that get "healed" when the spirit took the body?

Funny, that you say that, I just figured the same thing and was going to post mine.


Siren
Siren is a young woman is in her mid-twenties. She is of average height with a slender and willowy figure. Her skin is fair and her ash-blonde hair is worn in a ponytail. Her eyes are covered behind a pair of orange-colored sunglasses. She is quite attractive and certainly has what people call personal magnetism. Siren is currently dressed in a sleek, tight-fitting leather dress.

Bye
Thanee

Papa
Average appearance, tan skin, dark hair, Caucasian/Hispanic heritage. Young troll, somewhere in his late teens to early twenties. Standard dermal deposits on his exposed skin, horns start forward then curve sharply over the top, around and finally point towards the front symmetrically. He is wearing an urban runner/biker jumpsuit with bulges in a number of the many pockets. A small scar runs up and down just outside from his left eye. Average size and stature, his is surely smaller than Brock.

Father is vibrant and healthy appearing in his early 40s.

From the IC thread...



Not real sure what that means, did Dalma get a signal of some kind?

Olethros

Hamagen--Yes. TeamNet is similar to the TacNet, though without the dice pool benefits. It shares messaging and sensor feeds across the team, and has the signal encrypted. Papa is also asking for admin access to your commlink to create an account. Hackers can of course do all sorts of other things with admin access...

Yes. I meant to infer that Papa sent her an invitation to the TeamNet and a request for an administrative account on her comlink.

Of course, its generally just a polite technicality for the team hacker to ask for permission.

True enough. There's always the fine line of how the hacker can go before worrying about the number of guns the rest of the team is carrying.

Edit: As a reminder, Papa's eyes are jet black. (Not unheard of in the modern society with cybereyes, contact lenses, and implants.)

True enough! But it is a little hard to do upgrades without it as well.

No white what so ever or normal looking, except black in color?

The sclera is normal, but the irises are solid black. No blue eyes, brown eyes etc.

Brock always wears a look of awareness checking everything twice and keeping a long eye out in open places to see what might be out there looking back at him. He is a very large troll even by troll standards muscles can been seen through his form fitting armor he wears during his off time, on the clock he will wear his full body armor suit with helmet on top of his form fitting armor. Brocks skin has the normal has the obvious deposits like most trolls and his horn are short but sweep back along his head he keeps his hair short and obvious dermal plating can be seen from his facial features. When he sits down on any furniture any on lookers get the feeling the seat is being stretched to its maximum limit.

Okay, I'm speaking up here before I actually get irritated in real life. Before I actually get irritated, to be clear.

I obviously don't have anything in the way of leverage, here, so if you're going to let me in, you should do it. The character's not going to put up with much more being put off, and the heartfelt revelation of an incredibly emotional and intimate moment was about as close as she's going to get to begging. I'm not pushing for anything out of character, to be clear. If Papa really wouldn't let her in, then that's fine. I'll head out and maybe try bringing in a character that has some sort of leverage or something that the group needs. I don't mind, I'm just getting tired of dangling out here on the front porch.

Again, not upset, just speaking up here before I do get irritated!

The nudge from Bishop gave me an IC reason to move forward. Didn't mean to drag it out to the point you were starting to get frustrated, just to a good story.

Which is totally fine, to be clear. It's just a little more awkward when the in-character response gets to 'Walk away', and I wanted to make sure it didn't get there.

Jenni MacIntyre, since people were asking for more descriptions. Slightly lighter colored hair, but otherwise, a great pic.

If I got this right, Siren should be at 6 Karma currently (assuming only IC posts are meant here). Is that correct?

Bye
Thanee

Sounds about right. Count the Mondays and you're good.

Sorry. Thought that worked with the scene. Didn't mean for the conflict to cross from character2character to player2player. In the future, I'll try to be more verbose in OOC if there are IC conflicts in the future to insure they don't create any OOC hard feelings.

All-let me know if there are any outstanding rolls or questions for me, but I believe you are all in the RP stage.

Newcomers can toss out Knowledge skills for the footage of the events and items if they want to add to the collective pool.

I see Brock uses trodes. How does everyone else access their comlink [manual controls, AR gloves/imagelink, trodes]?
Only Ollie noted a SIM module. Does anyone else have VR capabilities?
Only Siren noted software. Does anyone else have software (other than O/S)?
Can I get comlink stats for Dalma and Jenni?

Papa will be looking for subscriptions as well to insure he has inventory of the primary comlink.

I created a spreadsheet and will work up upgrades after our milk run... Perhaps before in some cases.

Subvocal Microphone, Sim Module, Trodes, AR Gloves, all with Skinlink.

Bye
Thanee

Redjack--Did Papa label the UCLA footage as the team that you are hitting?

I would say "yes", since the dossier should itemize out the various members he has footage of.

Olethros uses trodes and has no programs.

Team--As a reminder (and for the new folks) anyone who keeps up on current events will know that the events at UCLA (and the team that Papa showed off in the video) have been linked to a potential cell of Winternight cultists. The media is rampantly talking about a nanotech weapon designed by the cult that was recently released on campus.

Dalma Comlink

Singullarity Battle Buddy Basic
OS: Novatech Navi

No software or any other accessories.

She interfaces with it manually (as some of you might have seen in the IC post), but she does have an Image Link in her contacts.

Also, question relating to IC post, who is Locket and what is the Gallery? is this something I would need to roll a Knowledge check on? or is this related to something earlier in the story line that I was not part of?

Hamagen - Metaplanes, Magical threats, type knowledge skills would apply to the Gallery. Locket has appeared in the thread and the video segments that were dumped into TeamNet will show you some info about her. This POST and this POST should provide some insight.

Magical Threat
8d6 = 1 hit

So checking in- it seems/feels like everyone is opting for Papa to lead this colorful collection? It also looks like everyone is down for the milk run to get money and then a run to eliminate the other team that was on the campus. We have a little more understanding of the relics but we should have Dalma take a whack at them since they also can be used to get gear or they may even be useful for the tasks ahead depending on what they do.

Just tossing out ideas and a prompt.

Sounds about right to me! I'm down for Papa leading the crew.

I'll post the commlink stats later today or tomorrow when I have access to the char-sheet.

Ok. There's a mouthful...

Looking at the relics and what we found out about them... what would be our guess about the worth of them?

Bye
Thanee

The relics are unique enchantments. Some additional info about what they do or where they came from could help.

Redjack--Papa knows that D'zan didn't have them when you all left for UCLA but the house recorded him bringing them in on the return.

Thanks for stepping up to the leader spot by the way.

Awakened Types -- Collected, you have enough Arcana and talismonger experience to know that the relics are unique enough that their value will be determined by the collector. They are not the type of thing that a Talismonger would have sitting on a shelf. If you want to sell them and take the cash fast, you'll probably get about 10,000 for each relic. (After fencing costs and modifiers...)

Re: the Box -- Determining specific information about the Free Spirit and Pact will require an Arcana + Logic (40, 1 day) test. If work uninterrupted each day, the diminishing dice pool rules won't apply.

Ddi we want to find out the exact properties of the spirit pact box or just sell it?

Edit: To be clear i think we can get a lot more for them if we spend a little effort to match them up to the right buyer or maybe even use the spirit box if it does something worthwhile with the pact.

Do we need a free spirit hanging around? Could be useful if locket comes knocking again.
