Yay, it's up! I just posted a little bit of a thing, to give some framework to get things rolling. The characters are on a bus, and it's late/early morning. Go ahead and intro your chars, maybe interact a little before the plot gets rolling. Moon, if you're still in, I'll bring you in later. Some of you will get some pms when the action starts.

Mwahahaha.

I haven't gotten the ability scores from all of you, and I need them. There is rolling shortly, and I need stats.

Muro and Andi, I've sent you your scores in PM, I need them assigned. Chaos, your scores are coming in a few minutes. As soon as you can, please assign them to the abilities and pm them to me.

Are we just doing stat-checks where skill-checks would be? Obviously for basic things we don't need to check, but if someone is trying to defuse a bomb, we're gonna need to make a check of /some/ sort...

Ria Hawk · « **Reply #3 on:** February 20, 2007, 04:36:57 PM »

I'm only doing skill checks when absolutely necessary, and I'd imagine it's mostly going to be spot and listen checks, so I figured I'd just assume you would maximize those skills. What's 'dramatically appropriate' counts for a lot.

Also, opinions on character death? The way I usually do things, I'm not actively trying to kill chars, but if you do something stupid, you *WILL* suffer the consequences. Is that okay, or would you rather I let the dice decide? Keep in mind, ressurection magic is pretty much out of the question.

I won't go gentle into that good night, but I think it should be there as a possibility. Keeps everyone on their toes.

And me! I don't wanna die yet! I'm not sure WHO I am but I'm sure I don't wanna die yet!

You said fleshing out skills wasn't required, and so I was just wondering when it might come into play (I'm still doing it, just so I have a list of things he's 'trained' to be able to do decently. Helps with RPing.)

Ria Hawk · « **Reply #8 on:** February 20, 2007, 11:13:19 PM »

Well, the spot and listen checks mostly come in when I want to see if you guys catch something or get ambushed. I'm not going to do checks when it's something massively important, story wise. Or, at least, I won't irrevocably screw the party over because of failed skill checks. If you want to flesh your skills out, please feel free (and send me a copy...)

Ria Hawk · « **Reply #9 on:** February 20, 2007, 11:18:25 PM »

Okay, so I don't get anymore confused, I'm saying that there *is* a bar *inside* the bus terminal. It's a few years up the line, why not? Therefore, Poe and Sugarbear are in that bar, and the others are in the terminal proper.

the Wanderer · « **Reply #10 on:** February 20, 2007, 11:30:50 PM »

Whoops! Sorry, for some reason I figured Poe walked across the street. Didn't pay enough attention I guess. But now that that point is solved, shall we have a drink?

people behave better when death looms over their head
sorry I'm late for the party. Work and school :s

Ria Hawk · « **Reply #12 on:** February 23, 2007, 05:38:38 PM »

Just cause I feel like saying: That was *not* a deus ex machina that stopped Eric from starting a fight. At least, it wasn't one in your favor.

Pariah · « **Reply #13 on:** February 23, 2007, 07:58:34 PM »

But I was hankerin' for a fight Ma.

Ria Hawk · « **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2007, 08:00:23 PM »

Note that I never said there wouldn't be a fight. I just said that Eric wasn't going to start one.

Andimia · « **Reply #15 on:** February 23, 2007, 09:23:11 PM »

Anat was all ready to burn his eye out with her cig haha

Ria Hawk · « **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2007, 09:38:13 PM »

Just for fun, I need to know who's armed and with what. Poe doesn't have anything except maybe a pocket knife/switchblade, I know, and Father Mikey would have to have a hell of a reason for being armed. I think you already established Anat didn't have anything, right, Andi? The rest of you, I'll allow a gun if you want one.

Pariah · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2007, 10:25:04 PM »

~~Gun's in the car, which isn't here, so just a pocket knife.~~

The gun, after conversing with Ria, is in fact in the back of my pants.

Andimia · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2007, 12:30:20 AM »

yep, Anat doesn't have much on hand.

Dozus · « **Reply #19 on:** February 24, 2007, 08:47:51 AM »

"Behold, my +3 Rosary of Doom!"

Yeah, totally unarmed save a watch, wallet, and rosary.

Edit: Oh, also a pastoral sick call kit since he just came from giving Last Rites. Kinda like this one.

the Wanderer · « **Reply #20 on:** February 24, 2007, 10:00:19 AM »

Just a knife, usually about $10 at a flea market...

That's a big knife! I want one!
ok, everything I have in italics are Anat's direct thoughts.

That's a big knife!

It only looks big, the blade is about 5 inches long. Pretty small without the fancy guard, but effectively intimidating nonetheless...

Pariah · « **Reply #23 on:** February 24, 2007, 08:14:04 PM »

Anything with serrations or a funky shaped blade is intimidating, no matter how big they are.
