[up]And probably wound't be that hard to pull off. :P Still, Karina pretty much have her own dilemmas about her feelings, so.. yeah.

By the way, as another vampire, is there any chance to notice that Kyla is kind of blood-deprived on the video? (Or is she only irritated because she is on the border, and expects that she will need those packs soon?)

Suika sees Berenice before she arrives at the kitchen, as she's looking around for people on the first floor (she didn't see Suika because she was hiding behind the couch, looking to ambush non-existent kittens). To make everything fit, Suika would have 'pounced' on Berenice after Gemma and Berenice had their quick conversation and returned to the kitchen to eavesdrop.

Regarding seeing Kyla: Tammy and Hitsugi take up most of the screen, so she only sees a little of Kyla. It might not be enough to notice her state.

Ah, Kirino being Ms. Fanservice, let us count the ways...

1) Baby Got Back

2) Dangerously Short Skirt

3) Dojikko

4) Form-Fitting Wardrobe

5) Maid Corps (obviously!)

6) Sexy Walk

7) Zettai Ryouiki

7... 7 counts of fanservice! ... ha! ha! ha!

Yep, I think that qualifies Kirino-chan to be a Ms. Fanservice for the Dark Mansion!

Anyone else have any better ideas on what to do for dinner?

The Entertainment Room at the top of the stairs would work for light dining, though dishes would need to be carried up and down the stairs or sent up through the dumbwaiter.

Regarding the Comforting I'm planning to have Kyla receive, if Stress drained at the normal rate I would be worried about Tammy or whoever Kyla feeds on... but with the rate doubled, it's less worrying.

Well, it is still binge drinking; Kyla still has to be a glutton in the two posts you'd do for her. You might want to try and work it in as soon as possible, though. Comforting of that sort doesn't work after she's actually snapped, and it looks like at least some of the evil maids will be on the move again soon. ^_^;

I'm not sure about the dining room table. (Quote from Alhazred on the previous page on this thread: "All the furniture in the dining room will need to be replaced.") Of course, Rule of Funny can dictate that the table appears to be fine. But once all the food is set and everyone is ready to dig in; the table collapses, spilling all of its contents on the floor (and perhaps the people seated at it). To see that everyone gets fed, I'm recommending the entertainment room that Al suggested above (that is, unless the table really did avoid fire damage).

As for doing the comforting bit, when would be the time that Kyla and Tammy can be alone? Tammy's supposed to be helping fix supper at this time.

Just wanted to poke in that I'll start up a Panty and Stocking anime Maid game if I get more players for it, I dont want to poach players, so I'll still be playing here if it starts, I'm just trying to build up some interest!

More details in the relevant sign-up thread :)

Just so I don't put in the wrong information - what precisely did Berenice hear?

And now we have an opportunity for Tammy to be alone with Kyla! wink

Would there maybe be a better place for them to meet up? I can edit my post if so. While we're at it, we might as well repost the layout of the mansion.

Berenice faintly heard the sounds of a grown man who has spent the last four hours watching a voluptuous teenager jiggle enthusiastically all over a DDR mat, only to send her away with only a peck on the forehead afterward because he fears the wrath of an ancient and testy Vampire Bureaucrat...

Aaaah... well, now you know why Gemma found the Master's reply so amusing. When they were eavesdropping, everything Dan and the maids said in the kitchen was loud enough to be heard. In summary:

  • Something came up and Dan's superiors tried to contact him
  • The secure connection was down so they sent a runner to meet him during the attack
  • He went straight to the airport and caught a plane to Nice, then probably drove to Monaco
  • He brought the MacGuffin papers with him
  • He will be moving around a lot, but will return in three days
  • AWNN will be positioning extra security around the neighborhood in this time
  • The maids are to protect themselves first until he returns
  • Hitsugi is in charge for the moment

Berenice, Gemma and Suika gain 1D6 favor for the demolition of the Jobsem Manor and 1D6 favor for delivering important news to the Master. Also, any Spyhold maid who hasn't already rolled 2D6 favor for helping to defend the manor should do so.

Gemma Rolls an 8 She then spends 10 Favor to increase her Will to 1.

Berenice rolls a 5 and 6 for 11.

Should she consult with HR or...

That depends entirely on what she wants to consult about; OFFE has a lot of frequent flier miles on the company account that she can use to pay for the tickets, and while travel expense forms will need to be filled out, that doesn't technically need to happen until later. If she wants to talk about... personnel issues, though, Ms. Fruitorange's door is always open. Just make sure it stays open while you're in her office.

Okay, with Tammy participating in Kyla's Stress Explosion, the rate of Stress drain is doubled, so as of my first Stress Explosion post I should be at 18 Stress, right?

Also, I'll reiterate my question from the RP thread: Do I get to roll for bonus Stress removal for roleplaying?

Well, First: Kyla will get the bonus 1 point reduction per post for assistance, but it only counts as a stress explosion if she really does binge. 'Gentle' may still be possible, but Tammy isn't going to be able to anything for the rest of the night when she's done. Second, I will say that because of the possible shipping angle, Kyla gets 1D6 bonus stress reduction for Tammy's attempt to reassure her.

So Tammy's effectively sacrificing herself for the night then? Not that I mind, because I'm starting to think Tammy's hogging the spotlight and need to back her off for a while.

Well, she can still do stuff, but she'd going to be pretty weak and listless from blood loss. Mostly just roleplay it, though I would advise against using athletics for any rolls.

Blood loss affects the whole body if I'm not mistaken, so all of Tammy's Attributes might as well be at -1 for the duration of the night (with any needed strenuous activity such as fighting getting a -1 to the die roll as well, due to the sloppy form they'd get). If agreed to, this would also temporally place Tammy's Spirit at 0, making it very easy for her to fall into "cat naps".

I didn't want to penalize the character too much, but if you want to do it that way that would be fine ^_^;...
