A little bit of a heads up: IRL issues may limit my ability to post here for much of this week.

Hey, Alhazred, can Karina notice "Inky" or is is hiding?

Read "notice" as "scream and panic".

She hasn't tried to open the door at the bottom of the stairs yet, and it's soundproof. If anyone opens it, though... we shall see. evil grin

So I'm guessing we just assuming Junko didn't slip up then? Sorry I've been lethargic about my posting lately.

No; the Weapon from Nowhere maid power allows one surprise attack at the start of a fight that cannot be opposed by a roll. Junko couldn't have done anything to keep Latanya from getting shot in the back ^_^;...

Aaah.... i didn't realize that Junko had actually entered the office; i thought she was still standing by the hall doorway of the reading room, since she didn't need to fight the tentacle monster after Latanya squished it like a very unpleasant bug.

Soo... with the <ahem> security system activated, probably turning this into a 'run for your lives!' scenario, and several maids currently MIA, do y'all think we have room for an additional maid somewhere?

Well we can just she was still there I don't believe I ever said otherwise so no blood no foul eh? So let's see the butler just got an undodgable shot in the back...I guess I should make a role to actually see the shooter? Sorry I'm having so many brain farts regarding the game lately, I'm still pretty new at this. A new maid? Hmmmm well I can't see any reason not to have one.

Yeah; Junko can't see in the dark (unlike pretty much everyone else on the scene except for the ghost, who glows), so she can roll something Junko-appropriate to manage somehow (like skill, if she's got a gadget that produces light).

Sorry. I've been trying to see how things can play out here. I'll have a post up shortly.

I can make a guess on this but I'd like to make sure: Any chance that anyone there can see what's happening is the result of the Aggressive Synthetic Systems Hibernate/Attack Trojan system activating?

And finally: Seeing as quite a few maids (on both sides) have gone missing, I certainly wouldn't mind another maid or two.

Hmm... none of the maids who can see the Mystery Maid would know about it, but there is chance to notice another clue about what is going on; all of the maids on the first floor and not locked in a freezer can make a Cunning roll at about the time that Latanya gets shot in the back. Any maid that beats a 4... is not too distracted by the fight in the reading room to notice the sound of chainsaws upstairs!

Think Latanya and Tammy's attacks can combine here? If so, it looks like the total against the mystery maid will be 18.

Hmm... Not sure who would take the Stress if that still fails, as it wasn't indicated of who 'she' is aiming for.

So let's see here, just so I know how much more can I get away with in terms of Junko having things built into that helmet of hers? At this rate it might turn out she got so busy adding other stuff she forgot the night vision components.

As a Mad(?) Scientist, Junko gets a lot of leeway in terms of what she can and cannot do and what sorts of gadgets she might have on hand; the rule of thumb would be, "As long as it's entertaining, it's probably fine!"

Okay cool, that clears things up nicely thanks boss. Now back to work....course given how often her stuff blows up she'll probably be pretty selective at what to try with the newcommer since Tammy's in the blast zone.

Yes, sorry, I'm just... a little bit busy, with !final! final exams coming up within a week. I will try to post something in the next 24 hours, I think it's not entirely unlike Karina to get occupied by that growing feeling of doom that approaches.

(No I'm not talking about my exams, but the robot maid. :P)

Jessie takes the round of shots (thanks in part to her Critical Failure), jumping her Stress from 5 to 20. In addition to the Stress, I take it that a piece of Jessie's uniform, most likely her blouse, is now riddled in ripped out bullet holes as well?

Oh, and it's Tammy that's in the upstairs hall. Coincidentally though, I remember considering "Tanya" for a moment before settling on "Tammy" as the cat girl's name.

Isn't it more like that Karina did notice the jellocat, but wasn't really in the state to come up with a cunning plan? (I beat the target 4 with a luck roll after all.)

Mainly asking, so that I know if she can use it next time (unless Gemma uses it first, she is probably the most familiar with it after all)

Oh, that's right. Stress from Combat rolls is the winner's result divided by the Attribute the loser used. I've got a bit of editing to do before posting for Tammy again.
