Kelly and Carry, hold up a moment. We have an unaddressed miss, and that means something gets very complicated. In fact, can we back it up to "Bring it on, B+~$!", and Kelly, would you kindly become your darkest self?

Yu

I dunno, you're pretty good. Uriah says Wanna stick around and practice with Morgan and I. I bet with some work, you could make a secondary lead.

morgan, however, is glaring at you, her eyes narrowed in anger, have been sice you started coming on to Uriah. what do you do?

Alex and Mindy

Blake leaves the pool as Mindy hypnotizes him. Linda also leaves, half-shouting What the f~&$ is your issue.

Joe, Kenny and Megan run as soon as the shouting starts, disappearing deeper into the locker rooms. what do you do?

[b]Carry and Kelly[/ooc]

Fair enough. but if Carrie wants to change her actions at all, given that Kelly is no longer a muscular girl, and is now a horrifying wolf-monster, it's completely fair... also, when there's a miss, in the future, please wait.


Vampire H: 1 C: 2 V:-1 D: -1 Harm: 1 Condition: Stick up the arse, wary

Mindy didn’t tell him to leave the pool. She told him to “finish quickly”

Come back cowards. You’re not busted. We just walked in on Blake Terry raw dogging Linda Mann in the swimming pool.

Probably could have invoked Fake on those seduction roles since I don't actually have a copy of the script, but I want that sweet sweet XP.

Still standing in Uriah's personal space, Yuji turns toward Morgan and tucks their fake script into a pocket.

Why am I here? There were three names, where is Allison Morrison? They don't seem to be in danger. They're just practicing for the play. Am I seriously getting conscripted into drama squad? Anyway, looks like Morgan had some tupping of her own in mind. I can't let these two grind their grubby privates together. If Uriah has a condom, it's probably been in his wallet for a year or more. I'd be doing her a favor.

Yuji knits their fingers and stretches, hovering just short of leaning into Uriah's chest. "Sure, I'm very flexible. I'd love to practice some scenes with both of you, but it's getting late. I wouldn't want to pressure anyone into breaking curfew. I'd understand if you need to be off to bed, Morgan." Yuji sticks out their tongue and winks one eye.

"One chance, Carrie. Get out of the way.
Scratch your own f#%!ing itch."

"Well, that's something." she mutters. What would have been frightening at the beginning of summer is just part of her day now. She probably could have jumped to the other building, but she couldn't risk letting monster Kelly into a crowd.

She lets herself be charged, sliding around behind her and throwing an arm around the throat. If Carrie could cut off her blood flow for just a few seconds then she'd pass out ...assuming this worked on whatever she was.

She was strong, and there was only one way to keep a grip. She threw her other arm into the fanged mouth. Until she let go, she couldn't shake Carrie off.

Forgot my choice. I'll give Morgan 'Thot'. I was torn between that and thirsty...

Yuji mimes flipping through their recycled printer paper. There is no scene 4 in act one. Morgan, you are dodging a bullet here. "eto... A Seaport in Cyprus?" Scanning the scene, then looking over to the hopeful Iago, Yuji errs on the side of poetry. "I can do Cassio. From what I hear, it's an unpopular part, but crucial to the plot." Yuji smiles conspiratorially.

Looking around, Yuji laughs gently. "Not much for chairs in here, do you mind if I sit on your bed?" Padding over to the bed in question, they tumbles into it and rolls onto their elbows, holding the script in both hands. "If only we were doing The Taming of the Shrew, or Twelfth Night, almost anything would be better than a tale of two cock blockers." Yuji gives Morgan a meaningful look. "So much better when the characters are working together." They looks down at the bed beside them, eyebrow raised.

She had the ring since she was fourteen. She had found it in the junkyard, exploring through the cars for loose change and interesting things. The car was partially under a stack and she saw the ring trapped where the windshield hit the dashboard. It was a thick band with a crosshatch pattern in it - very cool.

The windshield was already spiderwebbed with cracks, and she knew how to pry it up to find things. As she pulled it up she smelled bleach. That wasn't uncommon with the cars that found their way here. They used it to clean up blood once they released the vehicle after an accident.

Looking up the plate, she saw the report. Father, mother and daughter all dead. The news story mentioned that they were travelling under fake identities. Nobody could figure out who they were.

There was no one to send the ring to. The ring of a dead girl. Were they spies? On the run from the mob? A travelling family of serial killers? At night she would spin out stories of who they might be. sometimes the ring felt colder than it should be. but that was just her imagination. Ghosts weren't real, after all.

Damnit Carrie! I'm trying not to f$+%ing eat you!
You're supposed to help me!

But instead Carrie was offering a challenge. Kelly and her wolf both knew what to do to a challenger.
Her wolf sent her darting forward faster than the change took place, some small rational part of herself unzipping her leathers as she went so they wouldn't entangle her when her body changed.
She lunged for Carrie in a broad swipe of her growing claws, she didn't have enough of a muzzle to easily grab hold, but, infuriatingly, she twisted aside, coward, and Dared to grab hold of her neck!

A growl bubbled out of her throat as she thrashed against the grab, jaws stretching, getting closer, closer to her challenger. The colors dimmed and merged fastest, but all her sight was beginning to fade as Carrie kept up her chokehold.

But then her arm was in reach.
Didn't she know, didn't she care what was going to happen to her?
Show her

Her powerful jaws closed with a wet snap as blood, flesh, and marrow filled her mouth, and a savage joy filled her heart. But there was something else between her jaws... Wrongburningrottingwrong

With revulsion she spat Carrie's mangled hand from her mouth. She wanted to lick at the false-ground, try to replace the taste with something else, anything else, but her challenger was still here. Still... standing? Kill her
We did.
Tear her
Take her.

Mouth still oozing from whatever foulness her challenger had worn, Kelly rushed forward again, arms heavy with muscle crashing into the skinny girl. She fought, grabbing at the long fringe of fur that began along the outside of Kelly's limbs, but she only had arms and legs - not jaws and fangs.

Slamming her to the ground, this time Kelly took Carrie by the throat. Her widening jaws locked around her larynx, fangs digging into the side of her neck as slaver tickled against her skin. The wolf-girl crouched over her, speaking no words, but with her posture and a growl demanding, Yield

Lash Out Physically (Self-Destructive): 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 2 + 1 = 10 Gaining a string due to Primal Dominance, dealing a harm (or possibly 2 if werewolf jaws are enough like "Big F&*@ing Claws" or however they put it in the rulebook), and making Carrie pause.
Lash Out Physically: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 2) + 2 = 9 Dealing another harm, getting another string revealing something of her true nature (that she wouldn't only be satisfied by eating her), and giving Carrie a string as well.
I'll also go ahead and tempt Carrie with a String to back down. That's an xp if she does so, right?

She sighs an annoyed sigh, but takes no action other than grabbing hold of her wrist. "What the hell, K? You bit off my hand. You could have talked to me. You could have said that you were different or that you thought I was different. You could have said 'Don't push me like this or I'll bite off your hand.' Do you even understand English when you're like this? Anyway, I've had enough of this. Sorry, but you'll need to make your own way home."

She digs her finger into her ravaged wrist, pulling open the wound. Blood flows out. Perhaps not as fast as it should, but steadily. Too much blood. Life's blood. It doesn't take long for the breathing to stop.

And that's how Carrie yields.

Kelly lets go of Carrie's neck in shock. She shrinks away from the rapidly cooling body, even her wolf recoiling in confusion from Carrie's unexpected end. She was -Bad Meat- f$@&ing crazy!

Slowly she came back to herself. Her teeth and claws shrank and softened, her fur thinned into hair, her jaws shrank, the red of Carrie's blood became horribly vivid.

Oh god. This time I really did it. There was no car crash. She wasn't dead, wasn't dying.
I killed her.

I've got to... Should I hide her? Should I tell someone? I can't just stay here.

Yu

Goddamnit, I should have googled, not gone by memory of 10th grade. Also, I'm gonna be using urban dictionary a lot for this campagn, aren't I?

Morgan takes a seat beside Yu, and looks over the (mislabeled) script. Well, there's no Iago in this scene (Which Yu knows to actually be act 2, scene 3) SO I guess I'll be desdemona.

Her arm initially rests on the bed behind you, but almost as soon as rehearsal begins, starts sliding forward.

Alex

Blake interpreted Mindy's command as "leave". Linda is still there, and angry at Mindy for interrupting her and Blake's rendezvous, and Kenny, Joel, and Megan are hiding in case you two and Linda get caught because Linda is being kinda loud, and if you two don't shut her up, you will get caught.

Kelly

good news: that's the fastest I've ever seen someone escape darkest self (admittedly, wolf is the easiest to escape, but still

Also, to adress a cliche, how do your clothes handle transformation?

Also, not that It would save you this time, but Spirit armour is active. also, remember to mark XP for missed rolls, that's two you should have now

As Kelly descends into panic, she sees blue and red lights, and hears shrieking sirens, less than a minute down the road. either comign to break up the barn-party, or because someone saw you and Carrie on the roof... what do you do?


Witch... Hot: 1; Cold: -1; Volatile: -1; Dark: 2 | Conditions: Jealous of Mindy, Loser | Harm: 0

Alex turns and approaches Linda, her hands raised. Whoa. Look, I'm sorry that we got in the way," she says, doing her best to keep her voice quiet "and that Mindy was such a pain in the ass, but if you don't keep it down we might get caught!"

Depends on the transformation. If she goes full quadruped (common), or 8' bipedal wolfbeast (rare) then she usually just tears her way out of whatever she's wearing. This was more of a Lon Chaney style transformation for her (also common) , so honestly, grappling across asphalt was probably the hardest thing on her outfit, especially since she was down to the bottom half of a jumpsuit and a sports bra by the end of it anyways.

F+!%! Shit! F*&!!
I've been seen here with her. She's probably got my DNA all over her stump, and I'm covered in her blood. I can just rezip the leathers over some of it, but I'm gonna
Flee
Yeah, no shit.

But she's gotta come too.

Flee!: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + 2 = 14

People were already making themselves scarce at the sound of sirens, so Kelly took advantage of the last loud thumps of music to disguise Carrie's last loud thump as she rolled her off the roof into an open dumpster.

After a quick climb down the fire escape, F!&+! Couldn't have noticed this earlier?! Kelly joined her, closing the lid on top of them both.

Her wolf hated it.
Run
But it had been a long night for the wolf too, so her displeasure was limited to an internal whine at the noisome scents that filled her nostrils.

At least I can't smell her through all this shit.
Almost like I'm
not in here with a corpse.

"Iago hath direction what to do; but, notwithstanding, with my personal eye will I look to't." Awesome. I have successfully interposed myself in the situation. Now, at least, I can keep an eye on them and keep them out of trouble. I really hope this is what they want. It's certainly the lowest common denominator on the net.

"Indeed, she's a most fresh and delicate creature." Look into her eyes, draw stray hair out of my face, turn in unison toward Iago. "She is indeed perfection."

I don't have anything installed down there. Abort! Abort! Cassio flinches when Morgan touches his thigh, kicking in reflex. A quick glance to Iago- Uriah! and he blushes deeply."Reputation, reputation, reputation! O~ I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is... bestial... My reputation, Iago, my reputation~"

Yuji pushes up onto the palm of one hand, carefully pulling their legs away from Morgan's hand, and they looks back into her eyes, a few inches from her face. Their breath smells like cotton candy vape juice. While guiding Morgan's intentions into a parallel docking trajectory, Yuji glances sidelong at Uriah.

Fifteen minutes.
It wasn't even a whole quarter.
Of course she could keep herself distracted that long.
Getting her phone out had been a mistake though. The extra light had made it really hard to ignore the Body.
She just needed to wait here, not breathe through her nose, try to figure out how the f*$$ she was gonna get home when-
No. Just count doubles, run plays in your head. Plan later.

As the last sounds die away, Kelly finally slides out of the dumpster and started walking over to where Carrie had left her bike, still in a bit of a fog. It wasn't like she could call a Lyft - these stains were pretty suspicious...

"F&&+!"
Keys.

Back to the body.

She opened the dumpster, squeezing her eyes mostly shut as she slowly worked her hand into Carrie's pockets.

Morgan's door shuts, and Yuji is left in the darkened hallway with Uriah, scarf and vest folded and tucked under one arm. They spits into the crumpled faux script, licks their palm, wipes their mouth along the back of their arm and proceeds to stare down at the substance, pressing thumb and middle finger together and pulling them apart. It was convenient in the moment, but I wish this stuff were water-soluble... I'll have to take a thorough shower before bed. I hope Alex isn't waiting for me.

Yuji looks up at Uriah, likely wondering how he's going to get back to his room, or wondering just what words to use when he brags to his friends. Yuji offers a grimace. "That won't make it to the school newspaper." Yuji laughs awkwardly. If there's no further interaction, Yumei will head to the showers and get ready for bed.

You get into the room up top. probably a bedroom, or maybe an office by the desk in it. Leaving by the door reveals a narrow hallway. On one side of the hallway is a staircase up to the attic, that stairway is narrow and steep. on the other side is a wide staircase that goes down, almost directly to the door.

Kelly

Opening the dumpster, all seems normal, but as you touch the body, her arm lashes out, grabbing your throat. You move to get the hand off your neck, but a second later, the arm is gone, the body hasn't moved. you have the keys. what do you do?

Her curse echoed a little in the alley, but luckily most everyone had cleared out when the cops came.

F%@*! What the hell was-
Shit, I'm losing it. She's dead. Dead people don't-

Well, she came back before. She wasn't pissed then. Should I wait for her? F%%&, the longer I stand around here the more likely I'm gonna end up in f*@+ing prison.

Should I just leave her?

F*%@ it.

Wincing slightly, nervous that she's going to be grabbed by the corpse again, Kelly reached into Carrie's pocket to get her phone. Thankfully, it had a fingerprint unlock, and she was able to pull enough information to leave her a text for if she woke back up.

Kelly: I've got a change of clothes and a ride for you if you need it.

Feeling much better now about abandoning Carrie's corpse in a dumpster, Kelly loped back over to her new bike.

Well. It wasn't boring.

When she hears someone else enter the showers, Yumei's eyes dart to the towel she brought in, but she doesn't feel compelled to cover up yet. The shower stalls afforded some privacy, and her current, unmodified status was less obvious in girl-mode. The smell, however, drags her out of her own problems.

What could that mea- oe, guroi! I should have chanced the guys' shower. I take it all back. I can produce all the fruity-flavored goo in the world as long as module 2B doesn't emulate -that- particular feature... The day I get cramps, I'm tearing down the mainframe.

For a moment, Kelly freezes. She'd been in survival mode too much tonight, and flight still topped her reactions when something went badly.

F#%& it. If she asks any questions, I'll tell her to shove 'em up her ass.

A part of her wanted it to happen, wanted the other girl to figure out why she needed a midnight shower too.

She'd killed a girl. A girl that was probably coming back, but she was here to literally wash off her blood.
Can't tell myself no one's gotten hurt anymore.

Another part wanted the girl to see too much just so she could make her be quiet. Something had to go the way she expected tonight, right?

But she got into her stall unseen, standing directly over the drain to let the red stained water vanish as quickly as possible. Except...

"Oh God f!$#ing damnit! "

The drain was almost fully stopped up by several girls worth of soap fragments, matted hair and other shower debris.

" Who just leaves this shit here?!

Practically a 2 foot f+*%ing drain spider," she groused.

It was too damned quiet. She'd been alone with her thoughts and the smell of Carrie's death for too damned long. It wasn't a good idea, but...

"How about you? Your night turn into a pile of shit too, or you just avoiding the morning crowd?" Her voice was raised a little bit to carry over the anemic deluge of her shower as she started carefully to scrub.

Voice analysis...

Yumei slowly returns to lathering and rinsing. "Not that I'm envious, but I sometimes wish I had that clear an idea of how I'm doing."

Granger, Kelly... athlete... acquaintance of Yungfang...

"Even if it meant knowing I was failing hard, at least I'd know... you know... that I should try something different. I've got no idea how to call today."

The smell of blood and garbage was happily fading, but the herbal and floral scents that replaced it were still enough to fog Kelly's nose to who exactly she was talking to.

Shit! A section of abraded skin on her arm stung badly as she put it under the water, and as she tried to rinse it out, it became clear that enough of the blacktop was actually embedded in her fast healing skin that she was gonna have an impromptu tattoo for a little while.

She nods along unhelpfully to Yumei's response. "That's what I was hoping for. Something different, or at least some clear answers, but all I ended up with was a heap of weird that I don't even know how to start to deal with."

"You said it yourself though. If you're not sure what's going on, try something different. Even if it ends up biting you on the ass."

Yu laughs wryly, breaking character for the briefest moment. "Heap of weird is a good way of putting it. I don't know what I expected. I've got plenty of things to try, I'm just suddenly not sure if I'd recognize it if I ever get it right, and I don't want to hurt anyone."

Yumei steps under the showerhead for one last rinse. At least I don't have to worry about contributing the the communal drain spider. I'll never shave, never have long hair, never have body odor...

With the residuals circling the drain, Yu's chassis dispenses a lotion-like silicon oil with a neutral, chamomile scent. It's subtle, but it's a recognizable underbelly of Yungfang's odd scent profile, under the metal dust and machine oil of course.

Yumei shuts off the shower and rubs in the lotion.

"F%&~ getting it right.

No one even knows what's right til they put it in a history book later anyways."

Shutting off the water as well, she quickly wrapped herself up in a slightly unpleasant towel someone had abandoned here earlier, her long hair unbound and slapping across her upper back, and emerged from the stall.

**sniff**

Knee-socks-girl?

Frail and waif-like wasn't Kelly's usual type, but Yumei's handknit socks had definitely caught her eye when she'd seen her in the quad. The arm she often kept in a sling had caught her wolf's.

She felt her wolf give a lazy stir, a sort of questioning growl, but she was able to quash it without any trouble. It had gotten more than enough time off the leash already.

It's the same damn smell. I thought that guy at fight-night at The Sweat Shop seemed familiar, but it's not just similar, it's the same damned smell.
Maybe it's just a weird body lotion, but she barely smells like anything under there too. I've never smelled a human like that.

She had a lot of good reasons not to stay, but something held her in the bathroom until Yumei emerged.

"Did you though? Hurt someone?"

Yumei scrubs her short curls with the towel before wrapping up and stepping out of the shower stall. "Not all hurt bleeds." She clutches the towel close with the arm usually reserved for the sling while she delicately de-tangles her curls.

When she looks up from the wet floor, Yu runs their only surprise protocol. "Oh! You're the one Yungfeng is always talking about." She says something short in Japanese, and Yu plays a few fearful notes across her face. Her skin prickles, her eyes dilate, and a ruddy flush overtakes her collar bones. It's like music as composed by the tone-deaf, Oils painted by the color-blind, or a tin of over-processed dog food cracking open. The notes are all present, but Yumei does not appear to understand the fear she would like Kelly to believe she is experiencing.

A shiver runs through Kelly when Yu tries to make Yumei seem afraid. It was as if a painting had come to life, crabwalking around in some awful two dimensional parody.

Another monster.

What are you?

Yumei's free hand goes to the bottom of her towel and she hunches her shoulders forward defensively, plainly confused by Kelly's reaction. That's usually a question Yuji gets. Is Kelly racist?

"Eto... Our mother is Japanese and our father was Cuban."

What kind of a reaction was that? What did I do?

"What? No, that's not-" She took a deep breath Maybe she doesn't know she's a... whatever the f*~* she is. Shit, that might actually make sense.

"I don't care about... Shit, sorry, that came out all wrong. Awful night, remember? I must just still have a little coming down to do."

Not that the night had time to go that way.

Yumei looks away, blushing. "I know a trick for the smart market if you need some of that stuff for... that. It's criminally understocked, but nobody usually buys it anyway... Don't tell Yuji I said that..."

A blush and a shy look away was normally enough to catch Kelly's interest, but she was feeling more than a little burned out.

Also, she was pretty sure Yumei had entirely the wrong idea of what she'd need to come down from, and that kind of embarrassment really wasn't her scene.

But she was still curious. And if worst comes to worst, she's not totally useless as an alibi

"Sure thing. Let me just grab some clothes first."

Her borrowed leathers were hidden until she could get rid of them more permanently, and her uniform was still in a heap near Carrie's tent, so she had to brave Mae's school night wrath to get to a change of... Everything.

Alex grins as they form a circle and repeat Kenny's words. As nothing continues to happen, however, her shoulders sump and she glances around at the others disappointedly. "How long is it supposed to take till something happens?" she asks. "This doesn't seem to be working."

She pauses in thought for a moment. Maybe if we try it a bit differently?.. I think I read something about this sort of thing once...."

Stare into the abyss (How to make this work): 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5) + 2 = 13

"Ok., so i think I read that we should be sitting in a circle, and holding hands too." she says to the others as she lowers herself to the ground.

And then we need to focus. Try to put everything out of your head other than Lady Clements out of your mind...

Yumei nods slowly. "Oh... kay..."

What exactly have I signed myself up for? This is really weird. I'd just go to bed, but she might try to track me down. I do not need her waking up Alex. What's her deal?

While she hunts down a locker with a fresh outfit, Yu scours the mainframe for data on Kelly.

Stare into the Abyss: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1) + 2 = 8
I'd like some input from Kelly here as well. What kind of picture would the school records or campus WiFi paint, especially where it comes to regular monthly patterns? For the GM, what's the creator/mainframe suggest here? I might switch to Cold in preparation for boymode tomorrow, but that depends somewhat on Yu learns here.

Hmm.... campus WiFi wouldn't paint a really clear picture. Like her search history won't have anything really scandalous. She's in a new town, so there'd probably be some amount of trying to find out where things are for when she gets off campus.

A search of her school records, especially from her previous school would show an unspecified conduct violation as well as a couple instances of violence that have been played down just enough to not merit expulsion.

Alexandra

The others close their eyes (unless mindy decides to be difficult). after a moment, you think you hear the cries of a small child., and footsteps going up the stairs...

Mindyp

you feel like an idiot who is closing her eyes thinking of someone older than you. the others are closing their eyes, with the exception of Joel, who is none too subtly "checking you out".

Yu

I think the server, in light of Kelly's... history, would encourage a high volitile.
