[18:37:20] @kakos One down, two to go
[18:37:20] Rainfall Hey!
[18:37:29] @kakos Hola
[18:37:34] Rainfall Power just said he can't make it.
[18:37:35] Rainfall >.>
[18:37:46] Rainfall His dad is in the hospital or something
[18:37:53] @kakos Pft.  Likely excuse.
[18:38:22] Rainfall I know.
[18:38:39] Rainfall My guess is that he doesn't have his sheet done.
[18:38:45] @kakos Heh
[18:38:50] @kakos And his dad is in the hospital
[18:38:54] @kakos I'm sure he's not lying about that.
[18:39:04] @kakos That seems like an awfully fucked up lie to give to get out of an RP session
[18:39:24] Rainfall True
[18:42:01] @kakos Egos coming?
[18:42:23] Rainfall I don't know, I don't have his AIM
[18:42:41] @kakos Nor do I
[18:42:42] @kakos :(
[18:42:54] @kakos Maybe we'll just do a very sexy one-on-one session
[18:42:55] @kakos :-P
[18:43:10] Rainfall :P
[18:51:17] @kakos Hastur has cursed this game, me thinks
[18:51:37] Rainfall It sort of seems that way. We started out with what, nine people?
[18:51:43] @kakos Something like that
[18:51:44] @kakos Heh
[18:51:46] Rainfall Power says he's still in but just can't do it tonight.
[18:51:47] Rainfall :/
[18:51:48] @kakos What is Powerslave's IM addy?
[18:52:08] Rainfall shraigon on AIM
[18:52:17] @kakos He use gmail, by chance?
[18:52:26] Rainfall I don't know
[18:57:58] @kakos I hate AIM
[18:58:01] @kakos Oh well
[18:58:13] Rainfall Yeah, I hate AIM too.
[18:58:34] @kakos Jabber all the way!
[18:58:35] @kakos Woo
[18:59:12] Rainfall I use pidgin, myself.
[18:59:23] Rainfall Running every single chat protocol out of the same window saves so many headaches
[18:59:28] @kakos Oh, I'm talking about protocols
[18:59:33] @kakos AIM, the protocol, blows.
[18:59:40] Rainfall Yes, yes it does.
[18:59:50] Rainfall But it's even worse inside the official client, which some people still use
[18:59:51] Rainfall D:
[19:01:37] Egos joined the channel.
[19:01:41] Rainfall phew!
[19:01:50] Egos i thought it was pacific time, sorry
[19:01:51] Rainfall I figured it was a time-zone issue
[19:01:52] Rainfall xD
[19:02:26] Egos so no powerslave?
[19:02:47] Rainfall He's busy phoning his dad's relatives since his dad is in the hospital.
[19:02:53] Rainfall And apparently he has a lot of relatives.
[19:03:07] Egos ah
[19:03:18] @kakos Egos: Or he didn't finish his character sheet
[19:03:21] @kakos We're not sure which
[19:03:25] Egos isah
[19:03:27] Egos I see
[19:03:31] Rainfall Yes.
[19:03:34] @kakos Egos: Do you use any sort of IM service?
[19:03:38] Egos I still need to do skills, but that should be quick
[19:03:45] Egos not usually, but I have AIM
[19:03:47] Rainfall Skills are easy
[19:03:59] Rainfall figure out everything you need, then take away everything until you're at the right number of points
[19:04:05] @kakos Bah
[19:04:07] @kakos Another AIM fucker
[19:04:14] Egos what do you need
[19:04:15] Egos i can dload it
[19:04:19] Rainfall GOD
[19:04:26]Egosshrusg
[19:04:28] Egos *shrugs
[19:04:29] Rainfall use gchat or jabber or something useful
[19:04:29] Rainfall :D
[19:04:30] @kakos Egos: Just looking for a way to get in quick communication should the need arrive
[19:04:33] Rainfall (yes, everyone uses AIM)
[19:04:35] @kakos Do you use Gmail at all?
[19:04:38] Rainfall (it's craaazy)
[19:04:46] Egos the chatting service?
[19:04:51] Egos on it I haven't
[19:04:53] Egos but I have a gmail
[19:05:00] @kakos Egos: Are you connected to it often?
[19:05:01] Egos laughingskull
[19:05:09] Egos the mail account?
[19:05:16] @kakos Yeah.
[19:05:20] Egos i check it everyday
[19:05:23] @kakos Well, how do you access it?
[19:05:25] Egos but not on it like hovering or anything
[19:05:31] Egos home computer
[19:05:38] @kakos Through the web though?
[19:05:51] @kakos Through the browser, I mean
[19:05:54] Egos not through a blackberry or anything
[19:05:59] Egos ya a browser..
[19:06:32] @kakos Egos: There.  I added you.  Something should pop up in the little chat window next time you sign on
[19:06:41] Egos k
[19:06:52] Egos so its 8:30 eastern then?
[19:07:00] Egos that we started
[19:07:06] @kakos Theoretically
[19:07:10] @kakos Is that not good for you?
[19:07:11] Egos ah
[19:07:14] Egos no thats fine
[19:07:22] Egos i was just going by the older time
[19:07:28] Egos so thought it was PST
[19:07:32] Egos just making sure
[19:07:51] @kakos 5:30 PST/8:30 EST
[19:07:55] @kakos :-P
[19:08:12] Egos top of your head, you know how many skill points you get per cheat?
[19:08:34] Egos i know its 2 skills per ___cheat points
[19:08:43] @kakos 2 per 1
[19:08:49] Egos ah
[19:09:17] @kakos Okie dokie
[19:09:22] @kakos Finish your character
[19:09:25] @kakos I'm going to go smoke real quick
[19:09:27] @kakos BRB
[19:10:00] Egos k
[19:18:25] @kakos Egos: As far as your question in Vade Mecum... I'm guessing it's... wrong
[19:18:36] Egos ah ya
[19:18:41] Egos I noticed the rest followed the law
[19:18:46] @kakos Egos: There's nothing that I'm aware of that would let someone take Exceptional Tager with only a Tenacity of 5
[19:18:51] Egos hehe
[19:18:53] Egos it seemed weird
[19:19:02] @kakos Yeah
[19:19:03] @kakos It does
[19:19:12] Rainfall That would be really, really odd
[19:19:16] Rainfall also you'd go insane pretty fast.
[19:20:37] @kakos I'm going to post something about it in the errata thread on the CT forums
[19:20:39] @kakos One sec
[19:24:26] @kakos Huh
[19:24:35] @kakos So, apparently, a lot of the NPCs are off with regards to stats.
[19:24:57] Egos really?
[19:25:00] Egos just in vade or both
[19:25:22] @kakos In the core book, there's a Nightmare NPC with Strength listed as 9 (13), but the Nightmare is +1/+6 strength, so it should be 9 (14)
[19:25:25] @kakos Little things like that
[19:26:32] Egos hm
[19:27:20] @kakos So... just make your character like a good little boy and ignore the NPCs
[19:27:36] @kakos :-P
[19:28:00] Rainfall Wacky NPCs
[19:28:00] Rainfall :D
[19:28:42] Egos almost there
[19:33:55] Egos k done
[19:34:03] @kakos Posted?
[19:34:04] Egos got rid of driven to make things a bit simler
[19:34:16] Egos cheat wise
[19:34:46] Egos now it is
[19:35:36] Egos let me make sure i did the skills right
[19:36:32] Egos believe so
[19:36:33] @kakos Rainfall: Why didn't you take "Sexy Voice"?
[19:37:40] Rainfall I forget.
[19:37:40] Rainfall xD
[19:37:54] Rainfall I was going to, but then I decided not to
[19:38:22] Rainfall Do I have a spare point lying around?
[19:38:35] Rainfall (I really should take Sexy Voice, just to have Sexy Voice, the best quality ever)
[19:39:13] Egos sidenote about my rival
[19:39:28] Egos I was thinking about something akin to Rudy to Dexter (not related) but how they play
[19:39:32] Egos but with tagers
[19:39:49] Egos would the other guy work better as a Tager
[19:40:10] Rainfall What if my character was extra-dedicated to the OIS because she wants to prove herself, and I bumped my Duty up to 3 and then took a Sexy Voice point?
[19:40:11] Egos or the D guys that..work for Nylaretatheop(or however you spell it)
[19:40:16] Rainfall Dhohanoids!
[19:40:39] Rainfall (Guyver was my favorite anime about three/four years ago. I don't know why I'm not a Tager)
[19:40:42] Rainfall (:D)
[19:40:42] Egos you love them or happy you know it :)
[19:40:49] Rainfall Both?
[19:40:53] Egos heh
[19:40:58] Egos that name is from guyver?
[19:41:02] Rainfall naw
[19:41:05] Rainfall they were the Zoanoids
[19:41:08] Egos ah
[19:41:08] Rainfall or Zoanthropes
[19:41:15] @kakos Rainfall: Is there a limit on the amount of points you can take in qualities?
[19:41:37] Rainfall No, but you can only have up to ten points of drawbacks.
[19:41:41] @kakos 10
[19:41:44] @kakos Yeah
[19:42:00] @kakos Well, you can certainly do that then
[19:42:01] @kakos :-P
[19:42:04] Rainfall sweet!
[19:42:07] Rainfall Consider it done.
[19:42:12] @kakos You should take it three times actually
[19:42:27] Rainfall I don't have enough points to do that.
[19:42:39] Rainfall unless I dropped my Alluring.
[19:42:45] Rainfall And where would I be with just a Sexy Voice?
[19:42:52] Egos sex phone operator?
[19:43:01] Egos or tv commercial voice
[19:43:06] Rainfall haha
[19:43:15] Rainfall but I work with the guvmint.
[19:43:35] Egos people will think you are coming onto them regardless of your intent
[19:43:44] Egos and thus they will be more likely to divulge info:)
[19:43:52] @kakos Drop your allies and contacts
[19:43:54] @kakos You don't need them
[19:43:55] @kakos :-P
[19:44:02] Rainfall but but but
[19:44:06] @kakos I'm kidding
[19:44:06] @kakos :-P
[19:44:07] Rainfall :(
[19:44:09] Rainfall oh phew
[19:44:10] Rainfall :D
[19:44:30] @kakos Agent Hottie McHotstuff
[19:44:41] Rainfall Oh yeah.
[19:44:41] Rainfall :o
[19:45:00] Egos and I'm typical angsty anime guy :)
[19:45:05] @kakos You go to arrest someone and they think you're just a OIS-themed stripper come for their birthday.  :-P
[19:45:27] Egos you're going to do that now aren't you :) ?
[19:45:40] @kakos Egos: Should I call you Sasuke?
[19:45:44] Rainfall xD
[19:45:58] Rainfall man, our characters are awesomely stereotypical.
[19:45:59] Egos heh sure i'll just go find a snake guy sensai
[19:46:08] Rainfall Hot chick with evil dad, and emo superpowered guy
[19:46:09] @kakos Egos: You better not grow hand-wing-things out of your back
[19:46:28] Egos we are getting close to that
[19:46:41] Rainfall he IS a Vampire tager.
[19:46:44] Rainfall oh dear.
[19:46:46] Egos indeed
[19:46:51] Egos Soul Taker
[19:46:51] @kakos Fuck
[19:46:58] Egos was an inspiration :0
[19:46:59] @kakos I'm leaving.  See you fucks later.  :-P
[19:47:05] Rainfall hahaha
[19:47:25] Egos it should be funny , Agent McHottie and Angsty Batboy
[19:47:36] Egos and Powerslaves guy
[19:47:43] Egos the technician :)
[19:47:54] @kakos What is Powerslave playing?
[19:48:01] Egos he can be the Jackie Gleason type
[19:48:04] @kakos Egos: So this is your character?  http://api.ning.com/files/tQBM9L3LFQo4ifCG0G52FYB6MDbbv1*EYJD3c1n1VNqVeG2Q6dcYRChvgTLZXSwGHIEyY2CpjGGhWexe4Dup4o4D5rihh7jr/news_batboy_2.jpg
[19:48:30] Egos wasnt he playing a Human Power Suit wearer with a Nazzadi wife and mixed child?
[19:48:37] Rainfall Nobody knows what Powerslave is playing.
[19:48:47] @kakos I have no idea
[19:48:55] Egos ah that scary, baby nosferatu
[19:49:12] Egos he should be a aqua tager
[19:49:18] Egos and then rainfall is like our spoil
[19:49:26] Egos "Come on guys, stop eating the cultists"
[19:49:27] Egos or  something
[19:49:41]Egoseyes dart around
[19:49:42] Egos maybe not
[19:49:55] @kakos Rainfall can be the star-cross'd lover of two Tagers, but not their human hosts.  :-P
[19:49:56] Rainfall haha
[19:50:02] Rainfall oh GOD
[19:50:20] Rainfall no, I'm going to join the Rapine Storm and get superpowers
[19:50:20] Egos lol
[19:50:26] Egos and then they find over her
[19:50:30] Egos ergh
[19:50:31] Egos fight
[19:50:42] @kakos Rainfall: You should join the EOD and get tentacle raped all day long
[19:50:43] @kakos :-P
[19:50:50] Egos :I
[19:50:51] Rainfall DX
[19:50:56] @kakos Okay, let's get started.  OOC comments in parens from hence forth.
[19:51:00] Rainfall Alrighty.
[19:51:02] Rainfall (alright)
[19:51:18] Egos (is this going to be scary?)
[19:51:23] @kakos (Let me know if anything gets cut off when I start pasting this.)
[19:51:26] @kakos (No... :-P)
[19:51:33] @kakos You both awaken to the powerful odor of smelling salts being held under your nose.  Your eyes snap open and you find yourselves in a small featureless room, facing a large mirror and two bright lights shining down on each of you.  You are sitting in cold metal chairs in front of a plain metal table.
[19:51:35] >> Activating Flood Protection
[19:51:35] @kakos On the other side of the table is a older gentleman, probably in his 60s or 70s.  His grey hair and wild moustache accent his ageing but distinguished face.  He looks at the two of you quizzically, "Rise a shine, Agents.  I apologise for the accommodations, but you gave us quite a scare.  Can you tell me where you are?"
[19:51:43] @kakos The question causes your mind to try to penetrate into your minds and root out the answer to the question, but it quickly comes up empty.  Both of you feel as if the answer is right on the tip of your tongue, but you are unable to find the answer.  As you search harder in your memories, you quickly find that something is shrouding your memories in an impenetrable mental haze.
[19:51:48] Rainfall (oh, do you want a dicebot?)
[19:51:48] @kakos You remember nothing.  Not your name, not your childhood, nor your adulthood, nor where you are, though this place does seem familiar.  Your memories are completely gone, though your knowledge and skills remain intact.
[19:51:54] @kakos The older man looks at your expressions and nods solemnly, "I thought so."
[19:51:56] Rainfall ('coz I can load mine up if you need)
[19:52:05] >> Deactivating Flood Protection
[19:52:06] @kakos (You have dice in real life?  If so, just roll those.  I hate dice bots.)
[19:52:16] Rainfall (okay)
[19:52:31] Egos (i can go use ic)
[19:52:38] @kakos (Did you get all that?  Should have been 5 pasted lines)
[19:52:51] Rainfall (yep)\
[19:52:53] Egos (have to read it now:))
[19:53:13] Rainfall "What... happened? Why can't I remember? What's going on?"
[19:53:46]Egossilently looks at the older man
[19:54:13] Egos "..I'm guessing he is going to tell us..."
[19:54:25]Egosrests his head back in restrain
[19:54:37] Egos (rests his head back in restrain... :O )
[19:54:39] >> Activating Flood Protection
[19:54:39] @kakos The old man gently and rhythmically taps his fingers on the plain metal table and sighs, "You were sent out on a mission.  We lost track of you for about twenty four hours and hadn't heard anything from you."
[19:54:39] >> Deactivating Flood Protection
[19:55:22] Egos "What mission...?"
[19:55:22] @kakos "We sent out a few teams to search for you.  We found you in a warehouse... an empty warehouse.  You were all alive, but unconscious.  Apparently, you were the victim of some sorcery that wiped your memories.  We're not sure what caused it."
[19:55:53] @kakos "You are Agents of the OIS.  You were investigating some blackmarket occult texts when you disappeared."
[19:56:40]Rainfallsighs, looking down at her hands. "So... what do we know besides that?"
[19:56:43] Egos (do we know who OIS is or did we just forget things about ourselves?)
[19:56:44] @kakos The old man slides two folders, one to each of you.  "We studied you and determined that you are... still human."
[19:57:02] @kakos (You know what OIS is.)
[19:57:26] @kakos "In those folders is your dossier.  Refresh yourselves on... who you are."
[19:57:33]Egosopens up his file and rummages through it
[19:57:49] @kakos He looks at Claire and shakes his head, "Nothing, unfortunately.  But we certainly intend to find out."
[19:58:18]Rainfallslowly opens her files, careful to read every line, examine every picture.
[19:58:20] Egos "Are the only two that were sent out?"
[19:58:23] @kakos "The third member of your team is still in a coma.  He seems to have reacted to this sorcery much more negatively than you two did.  But we're sure he'll be up and on his feet soon enough."
[19:58:38]Egosnods and turns back to his file
[19:59:14] @kakos "What certainly confuses us is why they decided to simply erase your memories and nothing else.  Why not just kill you... not that we're not thankful that they didn't."
[19:59:33] Egos "But you think they implanted something?"
[19:59:48]Egoslooks around the cold surroundings and smiles
[19:59:50]Rainfallmurmurs quietly, still looking through her files. "It might be some kind of trap. Some neural programming..."
[19:59:55] Egos "Or else we wouldn't be here right?"
[20:00:11] @kakos "We thought they might have, but we couldn't find anything."
[20:00:24] @kakos "You are exactly as you should be, minus your memories."
[20:00:48] @kakos "But, of course, we're not willing to take things at face value.  I hope you understand."
[20:02:10]Egossighs
[20:02:22]Rainfallnods casually, and then she blanches as she flips another page in her dossier. "My... my father did this all?"
[20:02:43] Egos (so does OIS know everything about us?)
[20:03:05] Egos (and they are giving it to us straight up?)
[20:03:25] @kakos (For you, no.  They would likely have your code name, that you're associated with the Eldritch Society, and maybe some history they might have been able to dig up.)
[20:03:31] >> Activating Flood Protection
[20:03:31] @kakos (For Rainfall, probably most of it, yeah.)
[20:03:34] >> Deactivating Flood Protection
[20:03:45] Egos (k)
[20:04:09] Rainfall (yay for being a human!)
[20:04:23] @kakos The man simply nods silently to Claire, not saying anything.  His eyes hint at a bit of anger at the mention of that incident, maybe mixed with a bit of suspicion.
[20:05:13] Egos "Does the...Eldritch Society have any idea about this? Or have they not been contacted?"
[20:06:02]Rainfalllooks up from her reading, slightly nervous. "So what happens to the two... the three of us now, then?"
[20:06:04] @kakos "They have been.  They are in agreement with us as regards to the proper course of action, but they are unwilling to send a more detailed dossier to us to help you refresh your memories."
[20:07:01]Egostaps his hand against the desk
[20:07:16] Egos "You want to use us to find these sorcerers I'm guessing?"
[20:07:32] Egos "Its like a crime scene, they'll come back?"
[20:08:04] Egos "...or something of that sort"
[20:08:15] @kakos He simply nods to Hover, "That is our plan.  You've already been implanted with small devices to monitor your status at all times.  That way, if another... incident occurs, we'll know exactly when and where it happens."
[20:08:15] >> Activating Flood Protection
[20:08:19] >> Deactivating Flood Protection
[20:09:01] @kakos "You'll continue your jobs.  I believe you still have the requisite knowledge and skills to do so, just not the memory of where you obtained those skills, but that should be fine."
[20:10:24]Rainfallplaces her dossier on the desk. "So... we just go back to business as usual? Something seems off about this. But I guess that's our job to figure it out."
[20:10:50] Egos (i take it i know Im a tager ? :) )
[20:10:57] Rainfall (pff of course not)
[20:11:09] Egos (that will be a weird little surprise)
[20:11:18] @kakos "We've already run every precautionary measure we could.  We feel the best way to figure this out is to... well, to be blunt... use you as bait."
[20:11:35] @kakos (It'll be like your first nocturnal ejaculation all over again.)
[20:11:51] @kakos (But yes, you do)
[20:12:13] Egos "Can we at least get a nice hotel or something?"
[20:12:13] Egos "I'm guessing this won't be fun.."
[20:12:13]Egosruns his hand through his hair
[20:12:50]Rainfallbites her lip. "I hope this doesn't get too messy."
[20:13:25] @kakos The old man lets out a loud, slightly disturbing laugh, "When do these things ever not get messy?"
[20:13:58]Egoslooks off -momentarily distracted
[20:14:10] Egos "How many  people are observing us , right now?"
[20:14:49] @kakos "Why do you ask?"
[20:15:19]Rainfallquirks an eyebrow.
[20:15:24] Egos "It seems odd you would be in here alone, without any security."
[20:15:40] Egos "Especially when this sort of thing is uncommon.."
[20:16:09] @kakos He nods and then knocks on the mirror behind him, "You didn't think this was for decoration, did you?"
[20:16:40] @kakos "Plus... you were moved here after we were sure you were still human... or, at least, not one of the bad guys."
[20:16:43]Rainfallshakes her head. "If they stuck anything in us, and hid it that well... it wouldn't be to just get us this far."
[20:17:20] Egos "Unless this guy is especially important"
[20:17:30] @kakos (Aren't you two just paranoid?  :-P)
[20:17:47] Egos "Or they just wanted to fuck with the OIS.."
[20:17:59]Rainfalllaughs. "Who are you, sir? My colleague raises a good point."
[20:18:23] @kakos (Man, now I have to come up with a name.  :-P)
[20:18:29] Egos "You have to be a sorcerer, no?"
[20:18:44] Egos "Or at least a psychic.."
[20:19:05] @kakos "Fair enough.  I am Alexander Jenkins, Assistant Diretor of Tactical Response.  I am not a sorcerer or a psychic."
[20:19:18]Egossmiles
[20:19:21] Egos "You're a zoner"
[20:19:45]Egoslooks over at Claire
[20:19:55] Egos "Or do zoners technically fall into the realm of psychics?"
[20:20:05] Egos "Or sorcerers...I forget.."
[20:20:23]Rainfallhides a smile. "I think they fall into the 'psychic' category."
[20:20:47]Egosrubs his hands together
[20:20:54] @kakos He quirks an eyebrow, "Zoners are psychics.  And usually studied, not put in positions of authority.  What is the source of all these questions?"
[20:21:17] Egos "Perverse boredom"
[20:21:47] Egos "Bark orders at us and we'll be on our way, yeah?"
[20:21:56]Rainfallplaces one hand on her dossier. "So are we free to go, sir, or do you have more to tell us?"
[20:22:04] @kakos Andrew walks over to the door and opens it, motioning them out.  Two guards await them on the other side.  "You'll be taken to more comfortable quarters."
[20:22:31] @kakos "You'll be briefed in the morning on your next assignment.  Get some sleep... and read up.  Your PCPUs are in there."
[20:22:59]Egosnods
[20:23:41] @kakos (I'm going to go... umm... smoke.  BRB and we'll get to... THE NEXT MORNING!")
[20:23:49] Rainfall (alrighty)
[20:24:11] Egos (dun dun dun)
[20:24:24] Egos (batman awakens)
[20:25:06] Rainfall (VAMPIRE!)
[20:25:08] Rainfall (noo)
[20:25:17] Rainfall (as an attractive young woman am I at risk?)
[20:25:53] Egos (i would hate to see what happens to anyone that is in  risk :0 )
[20:26:26] Egos (bleeding out someone entirely doesn't sound like fun)
[20:26:42] Rainfall (no it doesn't)
[20:27:02] Egos (apparently I've developed a taste for blood though as the human component)
[20:27:09] Egos (so I wonder how that goes about)
[20:27:30] Rainfall (rare steak)
[20:28:08] Egos (ah and here i was thinking he would just like to wear red more often)
[20:28:24] @kakos (Women are used to bleeding out.  It happens once a month.)
[20:29:11] Egos (i am aware, kakos)
[20:29:15] Rainfall (I'ma kick your ass)
[20:29:33] @kakos (Whaaa?  :-P)
[20:30:05] Egos (the next morning , Claire find Jenkins watching her through the window)
[20:30:09] Rainfall (creeepy)
[20:30:23] @kakos (Okay.  So, is there anything in particular you guys look up before you go to sleep?)
[20:30:29] @kakos (Haha)
[20:30:46] Egos (hmm so they know I'm a tager right?)
[20:30:49] Rainfall (Just going to try and read my dossier inside-out)
[20:31:22] @kakos (Yeah, they do)
[20:31:48] Egos (and I can talk to my symbiote literally?)
[20:31:50] @kakos (So, Claire will have a good knowledge of her past, even if she doesn't remember it.)
[20:32:06] Egos (*symbiont)
[20:32:32] Egos (i take it they just know my exploits within the Eldritch Society ?)
[20:33:17] @kakos (They probably don't even know that.  And I believe so.  Tagers can mindlink with each other, so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to mindlink with their host.)
[20:33:17] Egos (but not of childhood ,etc?)
[20:33:52] Egos (hmm )
[20:34:22] Egos (do i remember how to transform?)
[20:34:25] @kakos (You would be remarkably close-lipped about your history, as would the Eldritch Society.  All they know is that you are associated with them and that you are working with the OIS as a act of cooperation and desire to root out evils)
[20:34:26] @kakos (Yeah)
[20:36:35] Rainfall (So does Claire know that he's a Tager? Does OIS know?)
[20:36:37] Egos (I guess I'll just go to sleep and trying to get some good bloody meat)
[20:36:45] Rainfall (om nom nom)
[20:36:58] Egos (in the game I mean , not in rl)
[20:37:26] Rainfall (haha)
[20:37:30] Egos (I'm guessing Claire doesn't know yet..?)
[20:37:57] @kakos (Sleep playing)
[20:38:00] Egos (and OIS is waiting to tell her? or waiting to see if something occurs when she finds out?)
[20:38:09] @kakos (Unless you told her.)
[20:38:23] Rainfall (Claire freaks out and starts shooting the nasty!)
[20:38:23] Egos (nope, I dont even remember her heh)
[20:38:32] Rainfall (which is of course useless)
[20:38:49] Egos (the vampires are relatively good looking compared to some of the other tagers hehe)
[20:39:23] Egos (though overall the Vade Mecum ones are better looking than the Core Tagers)
[20:39:30] Egos (core tagers are more Lovecraftian though)
[20:39:42] Rainfall (I lurv the core Tagers)
[20:39:44] @kakos (Well, you would likely know what the Eldritch Society is and you might have gathered as much from the talk)
[20:39:44] Egos (in appearance)
[20:39:58] Rainfall (yeah, she knows he's in the ES)
[20:40:01] Egos (I can't contact the ES at all right?)
[20:40:10] Rainfall (but the precise meaning of that is probably lost on her)
[20:40:19] @kakos (Not at the moment.  Though you could ask.)
[20:40:41] @kakos (Well, the precise meaning probably isn't lsot on you, but that doesn't necessarily prepare you for seeing him transform for the first time again.)
[20:41:33] Egos (someone transforming into a nightmare would be very creepy)
[20:41:59] Rainfall (fear checks? :D)
[20:42:03] @kakos The sun rises, its light shining into the windows of your respective rooms.  A rooster makes a morning call in the distance and then is promptly devoured by some evil from beyond the stars.  You are awake!
[20:42:07] @kakos (Meeebeeeee)
[20:42:21] @kakos (I was kidding about the rooster part.)
[20:42:31] Egos (...or were you)
[20:42:36] @kakos (Dum dum dum!)
[20:42:39]Rainfallyawns and stretches, getting up from her bed and trying not to roll onto the papers and photos from her dossier that are scattered over the covers)
[20:43:26]Egosstares blankly at the ceiling of his quarters, his dossier lying on a table nearby
[20:43:53]Egosstands up already dressed , apparently he fell asleep inadvertedly
[20:44:20]Egoswalks over to his door and peeps out the peephole to see if anyone is outside
[20:44:32] Egos (if there is a peep hole :I)
[20:44:38] @kakos (There is and there is no one)
[20:44:38]Rainfallpulls on a loose shirt and some jeans and raps on the door, expecting it to be locked.
[20:45:19] @kakos Surprisingly, no one answers, but it is unlocked.
[20:45:41]Rainfallheads out into the halls, hunting for some kind of breakfast.
[20:45:44] Rainfall (rooster?)
[20:45:49] Rainfall (delicious rooster.)
[20:46:09]Egoswalks over to his file and places it away in a nearby cabinet
[20:46:30]Egosglances out the window wearily and then walks into the hall
[20:46:33] @kakos The lingering scent of breakfast leads you a small kitchen on the floor you were on.  When you arrive, you find a lovely breakfast is prepared and ready to be eaten.
[20:46:59] Rainfall (anyone there?)
[20:48:00] @kakos There is one person already in the kitchen, drinking a cup of coffee and reading something on his PCPU.  He looks up at you, eyeing you for a moment, and then casually nods, "Morning, Claire.  How are you feeling?"
[20:48:52]Rainfallpours herself a cup of coffee. "Alright, I guess. Pretty confused."
[20:49:29]Egosslowly enters the dining area, eyeing Claire and the man briefly
[20:49:37] Egos is now known as Hover.
[20:49:52] Hover (more appropriate)
[20:50:23] @kakos "Understandable from what I heard.  Oh, excuse me.  I forgot.  I'm James.  Nice to meet you... again."  He stands and extends his hand, laughing kind of nervously, kind of like a bashful schoolboy with a crush.
[20:50:32] Rainfall is now known as Claire.
[20:50:34] Claire (good point)
[20:50:52] kakos is now known as Hastur.
[20:50:56]Clairesmiles, putting her cup on the counter and taking his hand. "Claire... but you already knew that."
[20:51:11]Hoversits down at the far end of the table away from the potential couple
[20:51:48]Hovergrabs whatever food is available to him, seemingly preferring eggs and bacon and anything with protein
[20:51:56] @Hastur He nods and smiles, "Well, hopefully we'll figure out what the hell happened."  He nods to Hover as he enters and sits, "Morning to you as well.  I"m James."
[20:52:28]Hoverraises an eyebrow slightly surprised he was noticed
[20:52:37] Hover "They call me Hover apparently"
[20:52:46]Hoverwaves as he yells over the table
[20:52:51]Clairereclaims her cup and takes a sip of coffee, sitting on the edge of the table. "It's a nice morning."
[20:53:34] @Hastur (It's not that large of a table.  :-P )
[20:53:46] Hover (it is now! :p)
[20:53:58] @Hastur "That they do."
[20:54:00] Hover ( but ok, raises his voice slightly)
[20:54:02] Claire (leaning against the edge, then!)
[20:54:20]Hoverseems to especially delight in eating the bacon
[20:54:27] Hover ( :) )
[20:54:56]Claireseems to especially savor her coffee. "Funny. The world really lights up after a cup. The next few days are going to be full of surprises like that, I guess."
[20:55:34] @Hastur James nervously laughs, "Yeah.  Though, I'm not sure they'll all be good surprises like that."
[20:55:35]Hoverquietly whispers to himself or the symbiont "Did I always enjoy meat this much?"
[20:56:05]Clairefrowns and takes another sip. "Yeah. Probably not."
[20:56:17] @Hastur The symbiont responds, "Om nom nom."
[20:56:33] @Hastur (:-P)
[20:56:43] Hover (damn you symbiont)
[20:56:55] Hover (and your pacmanesque dialog)
[20:57:06] Claire (:D)
[20:57:07] @Hastur "Well, good luck.  And be sure to get to the briefing on time.  Jenkins is a hard ass when it comes to meeting times."
[20:57:25]Hoverglances over at the two flirting adults
[20:57:34] Hover "hmm.."
[20:58:05]Clairewanders back to the counter and pops some bread in the toaster. "Thanks for the tip."
[20:59:07] @Hastur (Don't worry, Hover, she'll always love you.  Once you go Tager, you'll never change...r?)
[20:59:17]Hoverrocks back in chair and looks down the hallway
[20:59:35] Hover (....when did she go Tager?)
[20:59:45] @Hastur James finishes up his cup, puts it in the sink, and then waves to the both of them, "See you later."
[20:59:59] @Hastur (When we decided she was a star-cross'd lover of a Tager, but not its human host.)
[21:00:00]Hoverturns around abruptly
[21:00:12] Hover "Yeah, bye James"
[21:00:27] Claire "Bye!"
[21:00:27] Hover (hover asks his symbiont "did you and claire , y'know?")
[21:00:33]Clairewaves, waiting for her toast to pop.
[21:00:44] @Hastur (The symbiont replies, "Om nom nom.")
[21:01:01]Hoversuddenly gets a puzzled expression on his face
[21:01:04] Claire (D:)
[21:01:19] Hover (wouldn't someone die from doing it with a Vampire tager?)
[21:01:31] Claire (I think yes)
[21:01:33] Hover (i mean when transformed hehe)
[21:01:49] @Hastur (Probably.  I imagine those little barbed hooks they have woudl not be pleasant.)
[21:01:54] Claire (if he bites me do I turn into a tager?)
[21:02:18] Hover (you wish :P)
[21:02:23] @Hastur (No, but you get rabbies.)
[21:02:24] Claire (hellz yeah)
[21:02:39]Hovertaps his hand on the table
[21:02:43]Clairetakes James' now empty seat and munches on her toast. "So, what do you think?"
[21:03:09] Hover "..we're fucked.. he just didn't know it"
[21:03:37] Hover "he wouldn't have been so ..jovial.."
[21:04:05] Hover "Or were you asking me what I thought about James?"
[21:04:09]Hoverlooks confused
[21:04:20]Claireshakes her head. "No, about... whatever happened."
[21:04:39] Claire "Even if it wasn't our assignment... we need to figure this out. Sooner the better."
[21:05:29]Hovernods
[21:05:45] Hover "So what did your dad do that got Jenkins so wound up?"
[21:05:57] Hover "Or is it a touchy subject?"
[21:06:56]Clairestares down at the table. "He was in command of an NEG base in Australia... and when the Cults attacked, he just let them in. Everyone died. They had a picture from satellites in my dossier. Terrible."
[21:07:11] Claire (oh wait, are satellites even still up, or did the Migou shoot them all down?)
[21:07:32] Hover "Ah....was he a cultist? Or...?"
[21:07:38] @Hastur (I believe they still are.)
[21:08:12] Claire "I don't know." She takes another bite of her toast.
[21:08:26] Claire "I'm not him, though. I won't betray anyone."
[21:08:47]Hoverleans back in his chair
[21:09:11] Hover "I'm ok with you betraying people, just so we're clear."
[21:09:14]Hoversmiles
[21:09:23]Hoverlooks over to the hallway again
[21:09:25]Claireblinks. "Was that a joke?"
[21:09:34] Hover "heh..Sorta"
[21:09:59] Hover "We are in more of a grey zone..morally speaking"
[21:10:05] Hover "At least I think we are"
[21:10:25]Hovercrosses his arms
[21:10:39] Hover "You've heard of the Eldritch Society before?"
[21:10:51] Hover "Or remember I should say"
[21:11:31] Hover "Apparently I'm a member.."
[21:11:42]Clairesmiles a bit, and shakes her head. "I've heard of them, but I don't know too much. Some sort of occult society that tries to keep it's head low?"
[21:12:08] Hover "Fits the bill, there is nothing on my past in that dossier"
[21:12:55] Hover "I'm curious if they dont want me to have the information or just OIS"
[21:13:02]Clairelooks up at the clock. "Oh snap! We'd better head to the briefing room!"
[21:13:11]Hoverglances over
[21:13:15] @Hastur (You... you... just said "Oh Snap")
[21:13:20] Hover "Theres a briefing?"
[21:13:34] Hover (thats her way of getting out of a situation with an ESer
[21:13:41] Claire (Yes, yes I did.)
[21:13:58] Claire "That's what Jenkins said last night."
[21:14:05] Claire (Claire has an aversion to swearing or something)
[21:14:24] Hover (so everytime I say fuck, she is giving me an awkward look?)
[21:14:29] Hover (or looks uncomfortable?0
[21:14:34] Claire "And James said he really hates latecomers. I don't want to leave a bad impression!"
[21:14:53] Claire (No, she probably just doesn't do it herself.)
[21:14:53]Hoverplaces his fork down on the table
[21:15:04] Hover "...yeah we really wouldn't want that.."
[21:15:08] Claire (I dunno. Snap-judgement character trait)
[21:15:21] Hover "On top of everything else...leaving a bad impression would really make this a bad week"
[21:15:33]Clairegrabs her mug of coffee and heads out into the hall, headed for the briefing room. "You've got that right."
[21:15:44] @Hastur (That reminds me.  What's your Virtue and Flaw, Hover?)
[21:15:58]Hoverstands up and follows Claire casually
[21:16:07] Hover (wrote it down a while ago..lets see)
[21:16:55] Claire (virtue: Is a Tager)
[21:16:59] Claire (Flaw: Is a Tager)
[21:17:02] Hover (was thinking of something along the lines of Dedicated and Disconnected, but have to look at the list)
[21:17:40] @Hastur (So, was Hover being incredibly sarcastic and Claire just missed it completely? )
[21:17:47] Claire (I think so)
[21:17:50] Hover (yup)
[21:19:03] Hover (Imaginative and Flippant seem like a good mix)
[21:20:03] @Hastur The two of them head down to the briefing room with the help from a few fellow OIS agents giving directions.  You walk in a few minutes before the scheduled start of the meeting.  Jenkins is standing up at the front of a small auditorium-style room and a hand full of other agents are mulling about.
[21:20:13] @Hastur (okie dokie)
[21:20:40]Hoversits down in the back row
[21:21:04]Clairetakes a seat on the end of the front row
[21:22:33] @Hastur Jenkins looks at Claire in the front seat, "Good to see you are still as punctual as ever, Ms. Mosschild."
[21:22:55]Claireshrugs nonchalantly.
[21:23:07] Claire "Losing my memory is no excuse for being late.
[21:23:12] Claire (plus a quotation maark)
[21:23:54] @Hastur "Your dedication was always one of your best attributes."
[21:24:32] Hover (is Jenkings coming on to her?)
[21:24:42] @Hastur Jenkins quiets everyone down, "Okay, let's get this started, everyone."  He presses a button and the screen pops up an image of a man in his thirties, looks fairly clean shaven.  "This is Edgar Gaines."
[21:24:54] @Hastur (Everyone comes on to her.  What do you expect when you take Alluring and Sexy Voice.  :-P)
[21:25:13] Hover (Hover doesn't . Hover doesn't need women ,he just needs blood)
[21:25:13] @Hastur (Plus, he's a pervy old man)
[21:25:37] Hover (and a pet monkey named JoJo)
[21:25:44] @Hastur Edgar, we believe, is dealing in illicit occult texts.
[21:25:48] @Hastur "..."
[21:26:19]Hoverleans back in his chair ,closing his eyes
[21:26:29] @Hastur "According to some of our preliminary intelligence, he may be dealing with the same group that Agents Hover and Mosschild were sent to investigate a few days ago.  They'll be heading up this investigation."
[21:27:00]Hoveropens his eyes up again as soon as his name is mentioned
[21:27:16] @Hastur "He has no history of violence or mental instability, so he shouldn't pose too much of a thread.  But, as usual, expect to be surprised when it comes to the occult."
[21:27:23]Claireleans forwards. "Where is he?"
[21:28:13] @Hastur Jenkins hits a button on his PCPU and the image changes to a middle-class apartment complex.  "Conveniently enough, he's at his house.  He's holed himself up there for the past few days, maybe more."
[21:28:43] Hover "Does he have any family?"
[21:28:49] Hover "Friends we have to worry about?"
[21:28:51] Claire (that you can eat?)
[21:29:20] Hover (i dont even know if vampires have a mouth :) )
[21:29:26] Claire (good point)
[21:29:40] @Hastur "Not that we know of."
[21:29:49] Hover "..."
[21:30:15] Claire "Why's he holed up in there, then?"
[21:30:16] Hover (so is this going to be like Hellboy where we get a bunch of red shirts heh?)
[21:30:28] Claire (the more redshirts, the better)
[21:30:33] Claire (since I'm practically one of them)
[21:30:36] @Hastur "We're not sure."
[21:30:40] Hover "Maybe something worse is after him also"
[21:30:56]Hoversmiles mischievously
[21:30:58] @Hastur ("We'll be sending ten thousand nameless agents with you to die horribly.  Use them well.")
[21:32:20] Hover "How many agents are coming with us?"
[21:32:26] @Hastur "Well, you'll just have to figure it out.  Head off immediately."
[21:32:38] Hover (i get the feeling poor James is going to bite the dust)
[21:32:47] @Hastur "Just you two.  Call for backup if you need it."
[21:33:09]Hoverglances back surprised
[21:33:24]Clairenods. "I hope we won't."
[21:33:48]Hoverlooks slightly worried..
[21:33:56]Hoverstands up and exits the room
[21:34:26]Clairestands and heads out the door, moving at a brisk pace.
[21:34:49] Hover "This isn't good..."
[21:34:57]Hoverremarks to Claire after she exits the room
[21:35:02] @Hastur (Smokey time... again. I'm a bad person, I know. )
[21:35:09] Hover ( :) )
[21:37:00] Claire (time to refill my glass o' lemonade)
[21:40:05] @Hastur (Back)
[21:40:10] Hover (kidoke)
[21:40:14] Claire (wb)
[21:40:18] @Hastur (Danke)
[21:40:53] Hover (..now what?0
[21:41:05] @Hastur You hop in the car and drive to the address you were given.  Traffic is uneventful and smooth.  You reach the apartment complex and park.  Looking at the apartment number, you see that he's on the second floor of the building.
[21:41:47] Hover "...How do you want to do this?'
[21:42:37] Claire "I go for the door, you cover the back entrance."
[21:42:54] Claire "I'll flash my badge and hope he runs towards you."
[21:43:31]Hoversighs
[21:43:36] Hover "Sounds like fun.."
[21:43:38] Hover "Ok"
[21:43:41] Claire "What, you got a better plan?"
[21:43:59] Hover "Not really, but I know Jenkins is screwing with us"
[21:44:04] Hover "And something won't go right"
[21:44:38] Hover (does the apartment have a backway?)
[21:44:50] @Hastur (There's a series of fire escapes.)
[21:44:55] Hover k
[21:45:01] Claire "Just as long as it doesn't go as bad as... whatever our last assignment was." Claire sighs, checking her pistol.
[21:45:07] Claire "Shall we?"
[21:45:18]Hovernods and exits the vehicle
[21:45:44] Hover "Call me on the com. when you're about to enter.."
[21:45:57]Hoverheads off in the direction of the building's fire escape
[21:46:10] Claire (is the entrance to the apartments on the outside or inside?)
[21:46:48] @Hastur (Inside.  There's a door that leads to a lobby with some elevators.  Those go up to the appropriate floor and then it's an H-shaped layout of hallways.
[21:47:39] Hover (i'll just go up to the his floor and wait stealthful like)
[21:48:14]Claireheads into the apartment building, towards Edgar's room.
[21:48:15] @Hastur (Make a Stealth check)
[21:49:21] Hover (if me 1d10 → [7] = (7)
[21:49:21] Hover 1d10 → [5] = (5)
[21:49:21] Hover 1d10 → [10] = (10)
[21:49:21] Hover )
[21:50:08] Claire (ten, noice)
[21:50:35] Hover (indeed)
[21:50:35] @Hastur (18 total then.)
[21:51:53] @Hastur You make your way up the fire escapes, your feet making no noise as you climb the old and rickety metal structure.  You reach the platform just outside of Edgar's window.  You see that the shades are drawn shut and it appears to be dark inside.
[21:53:43]Hoverquietly whispers into his com "I'm up"
[21:54:17]Clairetaps her com "Right, let's see if this guy answers the door anymore."
[21:57:03] Claire (brb)
[21:58:11] @Hastur (*plays the Girl from Ipanema while he waits*)
[21:58:23] Claire (is back)
[21:58:39]Claireraps on the apartment door.,
[21:58:58] @Hastur (Roll Observation, Claire)
[22:00:01] Claire (4 and a 1)
[22:00:21] @Hastur (Good enough)
[22:01:15] @Hastur As soon as you rap on the door, a moment you hear a slightly inaudible bit of shuffling, followed by the sound of something crashing.  As you listen, you hear some fumbling in the apartment, but probably not him coming to the door.
[22:01:40] @Hastur (Now, we'll roll initiative.  Reflex+1d10, kiddos)
[22:02:05] Claire (god my dice hate me tonight... 8)
[22:03:00] Hover (3)
[22:03:05] @Hastur (BTW, Hover, you're missing Intellect on your sheet)
[22:03:10] Hover (and avg of 8,7,5)
[22:03:13] Claire (DX)
[22:03:47] @Hastur (So, 9)
[22:04:19] @Hastur (And I take it your intellect is 5)
[22:04:26] @Hastur (You first, Hover)
[22:04:29] Hover (yup)
[22:04:48] Hover (so is it straight combat or..?)
[22:05:02] @Hastur (Actually, first, make a Observation check)
[22:05:08] @Hastur (You're looking to get 11+)
[22:05:09] Hover k
[22:05:35] Hover (what kind of observation, hearing i take it?0
[22:05:44] @Hastur (YEah, but it's just Observation)
[22:06:02] Hover (ergh highest is 4)
[22:06:24] Hover (when you word it that way you make me think I should put my specialization elsewhere ;) )
[22:06:38] Claire (lol)
[22:06:52] @Hastur (11 then.  :-P)
[22:06:59] Hover (mu hahahahaha)
[22:07:08] @Hastur (You heard the same thing Claire did.  Shuffling, crashing, fumbling)
[22:07:16] @Hastur (Now go... or... not.  Whatever)
[22:07:18] Hover (fantastic :) )
[22:07:29] Hover (heh..)
[22:07:39]Hoverkicks open the back door his pistol  raised
[22:07:49] Hover (if he can kick open the back door)
[22:08:09] Claire (you very probably can)
[22:08:28] @Hastur (Window... there's no door on to the fire escape, just a window)
[22:08:43] @Hastur (And yes... you can kick that in)
[22:08:51] Hover (k)
[22:10:02]Hovereyes dart around the apartment searching for the man
[22:10:41] @Hastur The window easily shatters under the force of your foot, the frame of the window also giving way and making a nice easily acessible entrance.  Unfortunately, the room is extremely dark and you are having a hard time seeing anything, especially just coming in from the broad daylight.
[22:11:00] @Hastur (You're up Claire)
[22:12:01] Claire (would I have heard the noise of the window crashing?)
[22:12:27] @Hastur (No.  He did it very stealthily and it made no sound whatsoever. </sarcasm>  :-P)
[22:13:33]Clairewinces as she hears the crash from the back window and pulls out her pistol, taking careful aim at the lock on the door and pulling the trigger
[22:13:49] Claire (this guy is not going to have an apartment after this)
[22:15:00] @Hastur The lock blows clean off at the blast from your pistol, the door opening a crack from the blast.
[22:15:29]Clairecalls out: "Hello?"
[22:15:35] Claire (other person's turn!)
[22:15:39] Claire (/people's)
[22:16:13] @Hastur From inside of the apartment, the sound of gun fire is heard as bullets are launched towards Hover, standing in the window, brightly outlined by the daylight.
[22:16:21] @Hastur (Roll Dodge, Hover)
[22:16:58] Hover (highest was 6)
[22:17:10] Hover (so ..14)
[22:17:28] @Hastur (Lucky man.)
[22:17:56] @Hastur The gun blast is fired haphazardly at Hover, the bullet barely missing him, however, and impacting the window frame next to him, launching splinters into the air around Hover.
[22:17:58] @Hastur (Your turn)
[22:19:02]Hoveraims the gun and fires at the man's gun arm
[22:19:39] Hover (wow 10 :) )
[22:19:44] Hover (so 17 i believe)
[22:19:51] Claire (oh hey, are we using the direct damage rules?)
[22:19:55] Hover (for marksman)
[22:19:58] Claire (er, locational)
[22:20:40] @Hastur (Hmm.)
[22:21:09] Hover (how does this work?)
[22:21:59] @Hastur (Depending on what you rolled is where it hits.  I'll say if you aren't aiming at anything in particular, sure, but since he aimed at the arm, I'll bump give a little bonus to the opponents dodge to represent the called shot)
[22:22:09] @Hastur (That would have been a head shot, BTW)
[22:22:21] Hover (bummer)
[22:22:32] @Hastur (Do you want the head shot?)
[22:22:39] Hover (nah im nice:) )
[22:22:43] Claire (you missed the arm but hit the head!)
[22:22:49] Claire (but it's better to take 'em alive anyway)
[22:23:55] @Hastur (It's page 40 of Vade Mecum, BTW.  We can use it if you guys want... I'm fine either way.)
[22:24:46] @Hastur You aim your gun precisely, pulling the trigger, firing a bullet at his gun arm.  The bullet hits cleaning in his arm, causing him to cry out in pain and drop his gun.  He drops to his knees and begins to cower, whimpering, "Oh, please don't hurt me."
[22:24:57] Claire (either/or, maybe we should go for simplicity at first, though)
[22:25:17] Hover (claire should go over and take the gun :) )
[22:25:24] Hover (freebie)
[22:25:29] Hover (till evidence)
[22:25:36] Claire (I already have a gun)
[22:25:44] Hover (could be a nicer one mu hah)
[22:25:47] Hover (hovers then)
[22:25:57] Claire (pfff)
[22:26:01] Hover (Claire's turn, or are turns over?)
[22:26:06] @Hastur (But now you can have two!  And what Japanese-inspired story isn't complete without someone superfluously weilding two pistols?)
[22:26:13] @Hastur (Turns are over, pretty much.)
[22:26:23] Hover (isnt that Hong Kong)
[22:26:25] Claire (I should take the Gunslinging tree)
[22:26:30] @Hastur (Whatevs)
[22:26:31] Hover (or do the Japanese do that now also?)
[22:26:36] Hover ( k :) )
[22:26:51]Hoverwalks over and picks up the mans gun
[22:26:53] @Hastur The man continues to cower on the floor, muttering random things such as "Please don't hurt me." and "I didn't tell anyone anything."
[22:26:59] Hover "I'm guessing you know why we're here"
[22:27:19]Hovermomentarily looks over at Claire
[22:27:21]Hoversmiles
[22:27:25] Hover "Told you something worst"
[22:27:31]Hoverreferencing the meeting
[22:27:48] @Hastur The room is lit with several candles, likely consecrated in a ritual recently.  Many things are in disarray, but it doesn't look like the place of a mad man... yet anyway.
[22:27:56]Clairepulls out her badge. "We're from OIS. Are you Edgar Gaines?"
[22:28:44] Hover "I don't think telling him we're OIS will comfort him at all"
[22:28:44] @Hastur He hears the words OIS and looks up at the badge.  He stops cowering, but his facial expression seems to waver between fear and relief.  "Y-y-yes..."
[22:29:32] @Hastur (Gitmo is far preferable to eternal torment... :-P)
[22:29:39] @Hastur (If it truly is something worse... DUM DUM DUM!)
[22:29:45]Hovershuffles around the circle
[22:29:47]Clairenods, and reaches for her communicator. "We've got Edgar. He fired a weapon at Hover, and he's bleeding from his arm, but he's down now."
[22:30:02] Hover "What we're you summoning, Ed?"
[22:30:12] Hover "Protection ward or something..?"
[22:30:20] @Hastur "It was a ward."
[22:30:38] Claire "A ward against what, Ed? We're here to help."
[22:30:40] Hover "Glances back at him"
[22:30:47] Hover "Who didn't want you to talk?"
[22:31:01] Hover (glances back at him was meant to be an emote)
[22:31:29] Hover "You don't have to be afraid , Eddy. I'm far scarier than any ol monsters that might be after you"
[22:31:36] @Hastur He laughs and shakes his head, "It may be harder to get me if I'm held by you guys, but it's still possible.  I'm not going to tempt that anymore than I already have, no thanks."
[22:32:12]Hoveris facing a way from Edgar, but a wicked grin comes over his face  and one can sense the presence of the symbiont
[22:32:23]Hoverturns around
[22:32:31]Hoverturns on his com signal
[22:32:37] Hover "Whats the ETA?"
[22:32:47]Hoverholds both guns up and admires them
[22:33:16] @Hastur The com sounds up, "A medic and more units will be there in approximately one minute."
[22:33:48] @Hastur Edgar stands, still shivering a bit, and holds his hands out, ready to be cuffed.  "Go ahead and arrest me."
[22:33:56]Claireplaces her hand on Ed's shoulder. "Listen. We're here to stop the monsters from getting people. We can help you if you let us know."
[22:34:36]Hoverpulls out a bandage, but before doing so presses his fingers into edgars wound, and then wraps the bandages around it
[22:34:40] Hover (if that made sense)
[22:34:41]Clairereaches for her cuffs, snapping them around his wrists. "Even if you don't help us, we'll still try."
[22:35:11] @Hastur "No one can help me except for Death."
[22:35:24]Hoverplaces the blood that made its way onto his hand into his mouth as inconspicuously as possible
[22:35:32] @Hastur (Okie dokie.  I'm going to call that a session.  Sound good?)
[22:35:39] Hover (ok)
[22:35:42] Claire (sure, although i'm itching for more)
[22:35:48] @Hastur (We shall pick up with the interrogation of Edgar and whatever may come from this next week.)
[22:36:01] Hover POWERSLAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[22:36:06] @Hastur (As am I.  :)  Good first game.  Hopefully, Powerslave will be here next week and not "calling relatives"
[22:36:10] Claire KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[22:36:19] Hover HE SHOULD BE A ZONER!
[22:36:21] Claire Yes, hopefully
[22:36:23] Claire xD
[22:36:24] Hover A TEENAGE ZONER!
[22:36:33] Claire teenage mutant ninja zoner?
[22:36:35] Hover awesome
[22:36:52] Hover who lost his girlfriend and has a cooler best friend that always over shadows him
[22:37:06] Hover we should force powerslave to be him :)
[22:37:08] Hover mu haha
[22:37:12] Claire xD
[22:37:19] Claire we really should.
[22:37:27] Hover do you think he is still going to play?
[22:37:31] Claire I hope so.
[22:37:39] Hover hastur?
[22:37:44] @Hastur Yes?
[22:37:51] Hover oh evil one,, what do you think?
[22:37:56] Hover PS still in?
[22:38:00] @Hastur I think so.
[22:38:07] Hover and for rival
[22:38:17] Hover would you go for Dhohanoid or Tager?
[22:38:25] @Hastur Hmmm
[22:38:28] Claire Probably a Tager...
[22:38:34] Claire Or maybe just even a normal dude
[22:38:34] Claire :o
[22:38:37] Hover if i wanted a dynamic like Rudy and Dexter
[22:38:44] Hover in the show Dexter
[22:38:49] Claire man serial killers wut
[22:38:51] Hover (obviously)
[22:38:56] @Hastur Definitely Tager
[22:38:57] Hover serial killers - tagers
[22:39:00] Hover outsiders :)
[22:39:02] @Hastur Rival implies similar goals, not enemies
[22:39:03] Claire yeah
[22:39:04] Claire true
[22:39:15] Hover yeah was debating whether he should be friend or foe
[22:39:24] @Hastur Rival is definitely a "friend" thing
[22:39:25] Hover what would Rudy be in Dexter's world?
[22:39:34] @Hastur Your mom
[22:39:46] Claire :D
[22:39:48] Hover hehe you know what I mean jokester
[22:40:06] @Hastur Hmm.  Don't know
[22:40:15] Hover He wasn't a physical threat, and loved him, but still threatened his lifestyle
[22:40:18] Hover kind of an odd mix
[22:40:43] Hover Foe, Rival , Contact hybrid?
[22:41:07] Hover or Foe,Rival, Ally hybrid
[22:41:15] @Hastur Or Foe, Rival, Your Mom hybrid
[22:41:20] Claire Rudy was less of a rival or foe and more a... wannabe mentor
[22:41:34] Hover hmm
[22:41:45] @Hastur Powerslave is a Arcane Investigator
[22:41:48] Hover but by being a wannabe what was he?
[22:41:52] Hover yay!
[22:41:56] Hover I think
[22:42:02] Hover or did we want a sorcerer?
[22:42:17] Claire Does it matter?
[22:42:18] @Hastur Yeah
[22:42:19] Claire I'll learn sorcery
[22:42:21] @Hastur That's pretty cool
[22:42:24] Claire kpew pew pew
[22:42:31] Claire all magic missiling everything
[22:42:35] Claire (wait different magic types)
[22:42:58] @Hastur Well, in the Cthulhu mythos, there is in fact a personification of the darkness somewhere, so you really could attack the darkness
[22:43:00] @Hastur BRB
[22:45:02] Hover your favorite tager, rain?
[22:45:05] Hover is now known as Egos.
[22:45:14] Claire I like the Whisper
[22:45:18] Claire is now known as Rainfall.
[22:46:24] Egos voyeurs
[22:46:29] Rainfall :winky:
[22:46:43] Egos look a little like byakhi but less creepy
[22:47:03] Egos or is it byakki?
[22:47:13] Rainfall Bakhi in Cthulutech
[22:47:17] Rainfall Byakhee in the mythos-at-large.
[22:47:32] Egos bakhi are dhom in cthulhutech or no?
[22:48:26] Egos ah they dont look that creepy
[22:48:32] Egos whispers look creepier
[22:48:38] Rainfall xD
[22:48:52] Egos echos are cute
[22:49:01] Rainfall psch
[22:49:07] Egos for a tager :)
[22:49:33] Egos or the uglier the better?
[22:49:36] Rainfall I don't like the Mecum ones as much
[22:49:51] Rainfall They don't have as awesome art.
[22:49:55] Egos looks wise or in  general?
[22:50:14] @Hastur One sec.
[22:50:24] Egos they seem more in vain of Japanese types
[22:50:37] Egos the vade ones
[22:50:39] Rainfall yeah
[22:50:48] Egos so they aren't as creepy
[22:51:01] Rainfall The core ones aren't creepy, though.
[22:51:03] Rainfall They're just... badass.
[22:51:09] Rainfall I mean look at the Spectre, then look at the Shadow.
[22:51:12] Egos yeah
[22:51:12] Rainfall Which one is WAY cooler?
[22:51:31] Egos Spectre looks guyver-ish
[22:51:34] Egos while
[22:51:49] Rainfall sort of
[22:52:11] Egos shadow looks like a weird raptor bird from hell
[22:52:23] @Hastur Bakhi are just meta-terrestrials
[22:52:29] Rainfall Yeah.
[22:52:31] Egos the ones in the core book
[22:52:34] Rainfall I like Star Spawn.
[22:52:38] Rainfall Er, Spawn.
[22:52:38] Rainfall :D
[22:52:45] Egos look like something the Tszimce (sp?) would cook up
[22:52:51] Egos or Hellraiser maybe
[22:53:02] Rainfall Yeah and the ones in Vade look silly and shiny-smooth.
[22:53:14] Rainfall Although the Vampire looks badass.
[22:53:14] Rainfall I will admit.
[22:53:33] Egos still weird but yeah they are more
[22:53:39] Egos acceptable
[22:53:45] Rainfall pff acceptable
[22:53:52] Rainfall I would freak out if I saw the Echo coming at me.
[22:53:52] Egos who wants to look like a nightmare :) ?
[22:53:57] @Hastur Me
[22:54:02] Rainfall Isn't that the point of being a Tager?
[22:54:12] Egos well yeah
[22:54:30] Egos but I would rather know I look like a Spectre than a Nightmare
[22:54:33] Egos if I had a choice
[22:54:42] Egos and if it were real
[22:55:05] @Hastur I'd totally be a Nightmare
[22:55:13] Rainfall Nightmares are AWESOME
[22:55:16] Rainfall :D
[22:55:16] Egos the raw power?
[22:55:24] Egos or just the all out non-humaness
[22:55:33] @Hastur The non-humaness
[22:55:37] Egos ah
[22:55:41] Rainfall Just look at that art.
[22:55:45] @Hastur Also... the sexiness
[22:55:45] Rainfall It is so damn awesome
[22:55:50] @Hastur I'd bite the pillow for a Nightmare
[22:55:50] Egos sexiness?
[22:55:55] Hastur is now known as kakos.
[22:56:00] Rainfall hawtness
[22:56:03] Egos 0_O
[22:56:22] Egos Its the little pot belly he has going huh?
[22:56:44] Egos Mirages aren't scary at all, are they?
[22:57:34] Egos Phantoms are creepy in a silent hill sorta way
[22:57:44] Rainfall Mirages are pretty dull
[22:58:08] Rainfall The Nightmare is definitely the most grotesque design though.
[22:58:14] Egos i could see them in Power Rangers
[22:58:15] Egos :)
[22:58:18] Egos the Mirages
[22:58:39] Egos Shadows are kinda creepy, but I've seen similar stuff in sci-fi flicks
[22:58:44] Rainfall man, I didn't know they redid the guyver anime in 05
[22:58:47] Rainfall sweeetness
[22:58:57] Egos ?
[22:59:12] Rainfall well there was the 12-episode OVA original Guyver series, which I watched and adored
[22:59:18] Rainfall but apparently they did a 26 episode series in 05
[22:59:23] Egos i should watch it
[22:59:37] @kakos Okie dokie.  Well, I'll figure out experience next week.
[22:59:42] Egos k
[23:00:05] Egos i'll see you two
[23:00:10] @kakos And Powerslave!
[23:00:12] Rainfall alrighty
[23:00:13] Egos left the chat room. ()
[23:00:21] Rainfall Good session.
[23:00:28] Rainfall I look forwards to mooore
[23:00:42] @kakos As do I...
[23:00:59] @kakos So... now shall we do the hot one-on-one RPG?  :-P
[23:01:08] Rainfall :winky:
[23:01:40] @kakos Well, m'lady, I shall see you later.
[23:01:48] Rainfall Indeed you shall!
[23:01:57] @kakos I'll post the log in the thread tomorrow.  <3
[23:02:07] Rainfall Awesome. Have a g'night.
[23:02:41] @kakos You as well
