Bran acting as Alexis' guardian is an A1 solid gold idea....!
sorry guys, have acquired some variant on the plague... probably be functional to post something tomorrow.
Feel better!
Yuck. Hope you feel better soon!
Blech - Be thou cleansed!
I myself am now finally* screen-available after a protracted migraine that started sometime yesterday at last subsided a few hours ago.
And yeah, Alexis, I figured, that's why Bronwyn just needed to acquire the raw materials to fix the circuitboard :-)
Yes, best wishes for health for all of us! I am so glad I don't get migraines. They sound awful.
By the way, I keep forgetting to throw in a line about Shayera buying the quartz, but let's say she does so, since it'll literally take less than the time it takes me to type up her ordering it for her to have actually bought it.
Get better soon,... being sick sucks
Try some mongoose blood as a cure-all, it works in the comic books! But seriously hope you feel better.
Despite what I'm about to post, I promise I'm not putting the kibosh on the Bran as 'Guardian' idea.
Hey, Kaoru - you mind if I establish one of the bullies as having had a past run-in with Bronwyn? She's got a floating bully to assign somewhere after all :-)
Sure, go for it. Perhaps not Bryce though just because in my head, he's the most decent of the three (unless you need a bully who is actually not that into bullying?).
Considering Shayera's super-hearing, any objections to me overhearing the chase and stepping in?
Not sure if Bronwyn wanted to do anything to them (or just generally wanted a bully for something later), but I'd be fine if you wanted to do something to them while they're lurking behind the building. I gather Bronwyn would have interesting things to say if Kaoru tried to talk to her about the whole "one of you two is clearly is a guy" thing, so I was mostly using them to put Kaoru in a position where she's going to run into Bronwyn before Shaun's thing Thursday. Though if you're specifically trying to white knight Kaoru right in front of her, it might be better for us to come up with some other way for you to do that (probably not going to be too hard since Kaoru will probably be stress-patroling/lurking around the school grounds trying to get everybody who speaks negatively of Bronwyn/this relationship in trouble and probably making several enemies in the process).
Hmm... I'd kinda like it if they were still unharmed and ready for a++!%%&ry for a 'with words' confrontation.
Well, there's your a*!##$~ry. And they're fine.
Yeesh, no kidding. Was that around the corner and out of sight? Bronwyn definitely could've been focused on other things and missed it either way, but I'm not sure if she could've seen it during practice, or if she won't notice til Shayera takes a seat on the bleachers in a different outfit.
Yeah, I doubt Bronwyn would have been able to see it, since Kaoru was pretty explicit that they had moved out of sight of the track field.
So Bron will see Shayera watching from the stands in her blouse and gym shorts.
Trying to figure out what Kaoru is going to do once she gets out of the tree. But also she's definitely going to freak out if she finds out what happened. Which clearly means she is going to find out later.
I was under the impression Kaoru was watching.
But it's good either way.
Kaoru could be watching. But if she were, she'd probably wind up starting a fight with the trio. Because even if the rational part of her brain knew Wingblade could take care of herself, the more emotional side would never be able to stand idly by and just let that happen. So I guess it's just a question of if I should escalate things.
Yeah... I definitely feel like anyone who sees/saw that would have to do something
Would Kaoru grab Bronwyn? She was recently seeing her as maybe being 'the protector'.
I could convince Kaoru that that would be a good idea if that's how we want to play this. That or Kaoru tries to steal a javelin to use as a weapon. :-P Though getting Bronwyn would probably be a better idea.
Hmm, the more I think about it, the more I kind of do want Kaoru to see it and then go fetch Bronwyn. But I'll leave it up to Stalwart to decide if we should crash that scene. :-P
I think Kaoru's last idea works best... though I would suggest that the whole ordeal is essentially over before she and Bronwyn can arrive. So they arrive to see the trio with Shayera's skirt on the ground and she about to head off to the school to get her gym shorts.
After giving it a little more thought, I'm also okay with Kaoru not witnessing it, since Shayera's not going to be traumatized by it (she could've wiped the floor with those three at any point).
If you're afraid this could get us off track since we're getting close to Thursday, we can move forward.
Up to you.
Damn.... should have jumped on the bullying scene. Been wanting to show off Alexandras "pierce the mask-how can I make this character break down crying"
As the least physically capable member of the team, I can definitely arrange for more bullies to go after Kaoru. Or, y'know, the same bully could show up again since Kaoru's plan to deal with him isn't going to go the way she wants. And I'm sure Kaoru would just love needing to be rescued by basically every single member of the team at one point or another.
Gotta do a little catch-up reading... Have family visiting from interstate so posting will be a bit spotty / short over the next week or so but I'll do my best to keep up.
ADVANCE!...
Taking:
White lies:
When you comfort or support someone by telling them how they are your role model as a hero, roll + Savior instead of + Mundane. On any hit, if they open up to you, take Influence over them
Alrighty, I’m thinking after the Sineater wraps up (great villain btw, I want him to come back sometime) we can start Mission 1 on Thursday Morning. Which, actually, raises a good question for me: if we’re needed for hero duty during school hours, what happens? Does Whippoorwill give us like false doctor papers or something like that? Or are we just SOL?
Also, Wingblade, do you mind making the initial post? And do you mind if I puppeteer Whippoorwill a little in my posts to answer questions people might have a bout the situation?
Sure! I was planning on that anyway. As far as what happens if something comes up during a school day, we haven't had that happen yet (except for the Reaver mission). I'd say if it's an emergency, they'd evac the school which would let the heroes slip away. If it's not as urgent, they'd probably wait until school lets out or quietly have everyone be excused for various reasons.
Went back over the posts between the dino fight on the highway and now. It's a little hard to tell because there are a number of Comfort and Support 10+ rolls where the second option wasn't stated and it's unclear whether the other person opened up or not, but I'd say conservatively after Alexis spends 1 Team selfishly for talking to the girl, we're at a total of 7 Team (unless Team goes away after time).
Whenever time passes, the GM will empty the Team
pool and restore it to one Team.
I don't think we've had time passing, unless our rush to Thursday counts... which I don't think it does, but I would say Shaun has final say on that.
Sorry for the wait! Celebrating my kid sister’s graduation from college over the weekend. Will post later tonight.

DEAR GOD, I hate it when I get busy! Sorry again! I WILL post after I'm done with work here, I promise. Just been crazy with everything going on.
Also, thank you for keeping things somewhat moving Bronwyn. I owe you one.
Are the other onlookers surprised that the street magician changed his appearance? Or was that only visible to Bronwyn and Alexandra?
They just clapped and cheered. The change seems to be part of this guy’s act, so to speak.
Just a heads up here guys, I’m gonna post later tonight. Gotta fly to Oregon right now.
Will post tonight, stay tuned.
Planning on coming up with a fun magic trick for Alexandra and Bronwyn sometime tonight.
Otherwise, feel free to keep pushing your part of the scenes and I'll keep 'em going :-)
Okay, here’s the deal.
I thought I would have way more time to post on this trip, but that is really not turning out to be the case. As such, I’ll go ahead and officially secede GM duties to Bronwyn until I’m back home (the 22nd of May). Sorry for the constant delays. Just too many balls I had to juggle at once. I promise I’ll try to keep this from happening again.
Happy to step in :-) I'll give Cassie and Alexandra til tomorrow morning (PST), and then I'll go ahead and keep things moving right along!
Sorry for the delay, I've pinched a nerve and typing is really painful. Posts will be short and infrequent for a little while.
Blech! I'm really sorry to hear that :-/
(No need to reply of course...)

Since no specific opportunity was sought, I figured just add to Team unless Kilt or Hex come up with an opportunity that they'd like to exist :-)
If Kilt or Hex wants to use that opportunity, please make it clear, so I know not to add to the Team pool (which I'm now tracking in my status bar next to Kaoru's conditions and potential)
Cassie, feel free to go with Kaoru's provoke, but you will still Take a Powerful Blow
Possible negative repercussions are one of the reasons I went with the carrot instead of the stick. :-)
Also heads up, work is busy and my parents are visiting me tomorrow through next Wednesday. I still expect I'll be able to update/check in on games daily, but if I'm less responsive than usual, that is why.
Question: How far away is the fountain from the picnic area? Can Mercy actually see the battle from there?
You can’t see it, but it isn’t too far away, and the park has signs to lead you to it.
Unrelated to anything, I have now seen Twelfth Night and will need to go back and re-read everything Alexis has said with new understanding. Though actually, I may have understood more of what was going on if I had just read the sparknotes since I apparently missed the fact that Viola liked Orsino, haha.
Sorry for the cut-off there. Was posting at work, had to suddenly switch stations. When I get a minute here, I'll post Wingbalde's bit, so stay tuned.
Hmm, guess we'll see if Alexis gets swatted down, or raised up very high...
Sorry guys, work was nuts. Update tomorrow afternoon.
