Had difficulties getting Invisible Castle to come up, so I used an actual die for the rolls this time around.

For the record, I did consider a Cunning vs. Cunning contest, but then thought it'd be better for Tammy to just fall for it.

I've also checked the stats. If we're rolling individually, Gemma's the only one who can get at least 16 on a Cunning roll, and even then it's 50/50.

And finally, is no one going to help the fainted young man? Maybe they don't want to look at his face?


Update: Whew. The posts can get long when I'm posting for both characters together.

I won't be able to post again until Monday at the earliest, so there should be time for reactions to the stunt Jessie pulled on Tammy.

Okay see ya then. Nice moment there I'm almost sad I didn't have a second girl going. Then again I probably couldn't keep em both straight.

Apologies for my disappearance, everything (and more) decided to happen in the span of one week.

Nurse Uniform

Notes: A nurse uniform; includes a headdress and other articles of clothing equivalent to a standard maid uniform. Potentially includes other accessories such as a clipboard and sweater if the maid has the 'cool' type or a suspiciously short skirt if the maid has the 'sexy' type.

Hope you don't mind the liberty I've taken in Jessie's part of the post.

Now that I look at that, as well as the issue with the ballistic knife during training, maybe there's a reason Jessie was reassigned to garden duty sometime before her "death".

Heh, it's fine. I just had to make sure to remind you folks that Hitsugi has a cunning of 0 so she totally fails at being sneaky by default - though sometimes her failure still gives the wrong sort of impression... ^_^;

Um... hi, are we alive? (As in, post if you are here and still watching.)

Far as I know I'm still alive, the way that last couple of months have been going I'm not sure.

Sorry. I was out for Thanksgiving and almost forgot about this. I'll have an RP update up shortly.

I'm thinking about making a character but wanted to get a feel for the RP first.

@1jimbo 10: Np, it's nice that you are still around.

Was that a Strike Witches reference? I laughed out loud.

[up]Precisely. I'm pleasantly surprised that the shout-out was caught so soon.

And we finally get an idea just what Junko considers an idea that's not worth pursuing. I can only guess she sends a lot of time drunk considering what we've established she's game to try. I know I've said this but I do love this rp.

I still live - really! I'm just busy losing my shirt and other garments in Las Vegas at the moment. I should be able to post soon, assuming i don't bet my tablet at a table somewhere...

No problem boss, good luck out there. By the way I've got an idea about Junko finding her phone and sending it into the duct work, not sure what I should be rolling for that.

Um... again, please say so if I overdo things. This is just how Karina is. She tries to act strong, but really, she has severe emotional issues, especially when low on blood.

Eh that's no problem, I wouldn't say your overdoing things, I'm worried I might be overdoing Junko taking everything in stride at some points.

Another long one. Please let me know if I'm doing too much, as other characters should be able to have their own reactions to an ongoing conversation.

It's okay, I would propose as a rule of thumb, that you don't have to worry about length as long as it fits on the screen.

Post length isn't really a concern, so whatever works for you is fine. ^_^

Um.. am I being ignored here, or is this just an aggressive form of railroading? (note the sarcasm)

I assume we just posted at the same time, but I'm a bit puzzled on how to treat this.

I suspect it's the game master's job to sort things out, Alhazred?

ER... sorry if it seemed like that, as it wasn't the intent. I was mostly agreeing with you, though the 'if it fits on the screen' rule of thumb seemed a bit odd to me since a post would have to be thousands of words long to not fit on the screen of the monitor i usually work from. ^_^;

Post length itself is seldom an issue. Of more concern would be posts that completely lock up a conversation/scene so others can't interject, though that hasn't really been too much of a problem as far as i can tell. If anyone feels like they can't get in a word edgewise we can discuss it here. Also, for the game thread, any conversations that are happening can be resolved before the maids reach the wine cellar, even if they end up going back to the infirmary; i was just setting the scene in advance.

Junko can make Skill rolls to make things a mad scientist might make (within reason), though really complicated stuff might require that she hit high success targets. Blood substitute is doable, as the maids aren't really supposed to be limited by their maid qualities. Something to track Hitsugi through the vents might also be doable, though i make no guarantees as to whether or not it will always lead you true...

Hehe, no worries, you are doing a good job. It just felt as if the scene would already be resolved from your point of view.

Off-topic: I just watched the Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG episode titled "Fake Food".

I should have checked this earlier seems I kinda made too many assumptions there sorry. Course Junko's not got the best track record so it might be best if she just sticks with the blood subsitute and doesn't try for anything fancier. So should I roll for making that or what here?
