Our Halcyon doesn't seem to be stuffed to the gills with heroes, but I figured this'd be the place for some to pop up :-)
I'll add in another one from Hex's background who hasn't shown up yet (Someone she's trying to get the respect of - Her idol:
Prestige: A cape- turned musician (late 20's) who briefly operated for a few years using illusions. A few years ago, he gave up crime-fighting and became a musician, releasing a number of fairly successful singles. Prestige's early music (electronic) was very niche but he has achieved some success for his impressive stage shows. Prestige (his stage and hero name) is a minor celebrity who tries to give the impression of not caring what anyone thinks, but actually craves the spotlight. He's been in the tabloids occasionally for one reason or another, usually involving party drugs. Prestige is wearing a rumpled tight-fitting tux with sneakers. His bow-tie is undone casually around his neck. Prestige is most likely to approach the girls of the group and may come off as a bit of a sleaze.
Feel free to use him as you like - The above is all I have on him and I've got no firm plans.
And We're off. pretty soon, I'll start introducing people into scene... normally, we all kinda respect a scene between PC's, but... well, people walking in/butting in on private conversations is a time-honoured tradition in social encounters. So, I'll be less courteous than usual there...
Watsonian: Yep, she thought of that Masque reference and had to do it.
Doylist: Her player is a fool without a head for details
Also, I will say that I was trying to describe the scene in a way that it was clear Alexandra was setting herself up to lead. I will say that most of my dancing experience is following cute people to contra events, so I might not have conveyed that.
Oh whoops! I think Kaoru still would have ignorantly tried to "correct" Alexandra's frame, but if you want, you can have her push back on that to try to insist that she lead Kaoru (in which case, basically just delete the last paragraph of my post).
I did kinda wonder about the "like a bird perching" part, but the other arm completely threw me off since I'm used to seeing the follow's arm on the lead's upper arm (or upper back if they're standing especially close to each other).
My-- my best friend likes to cook.
::Cwethan's poor heart melts::
Akexis: leave to either Use Larentis or make up a Triakosia representative for a scene?
Just a heads up, I'm going to be at a con Friday-Sunday, so I expect I'm not going to have any time to post on those days.
Noice, Big Bad Con is supposed to be fun.
Alexandra: I'm happy to let you use Randall Leventis for a scene if you want. Just know that he will not confirm verbally any involvement with the Triakosia, in the way CEOS do when avoiding potential litigation.
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know, I've heard from Kilt, and though Shaun's been stuck in traffic, he should hopefully be back again soon :-)
Oh, and since nudges were requested. Bronwyn's incredulity at the Young Defenders being in advertising has gone unanswered.
Yeah, sorry, worked yesterday. the last post was short enough to post on Mobile. will get that up soon.
Literally only even thought to nudge because it'd been requested, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of it as running late at all :-)
Naturally I post as Inez right after Cassie put up that whole thing... I'm gonna start from scratch...
Sorry :)
Reject Volcana's Influence: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11
Did something happen behind the scenes that I missed? It didn't actually seem like Volcana was exerting any influence on Alexis, so I'm not sure why Reject got triggered or what he's doing to "prove her wrong" since no label shift was involved. Also, if Alexis was insecure, that's actually a 9 to Reject, not an 11.
I was about a post away from going for a shift, so I think it's reasonable enough to let the Reject stand :-)
Good point that it should only be the 9 though.
unexpected shifts yesterday and Today... sorry.
Now seems as good a time as any to do the chloe/Alexandra scene, given the Inn is scene is winding down
Yep. Hoping that someone will send Kaoru to Innis, since I'm looking forward to that scene.
Yikes, text to speech didn't work half as well as I hoped... I'll post a more comprehensible version soon
If everyone is cool with it, could I move us to the middle of the Gala. I have events planned, but don't want everything to happen in the first hour.
I'm cool with it!
Sure thing!
Fine with me.
No problem on my end.
Sure!
My thought is that we shouldn't wait any further on Kilt. If he shows up later in the gala - fantastic! But otherwise, let's sorta de-emphasize his absence rather than putting a spotlight on it. We can figure out what the canon is once this issue's over :-)
Obviously, he was kidnapped by aliens and is trying to fight his way back to Earth, John Carter of Mars style.
"Yeh thought ah'd miss tae gala fur less than a bloody abduction? Nae! Dinna yeh ken anythin' 'boot what it takes to keep a Scot 'way from tae dance floor?!
How much 9f Kaorus choice of moniker was for that 1 pun?
The guy fox -> Guy Fawkes pun? That was actually a happy coincidence that I realized after my choice of masks.
Heh, I'll say that while it could still be changed and canon-compliant, I don't think the Champions are aware that Alexis has changed his body at all.
Yeah, I thought that knowledge was pretty much limited to the team (+ Whippoorwill).
Alexis has been introducing himself as mercy, No?
also, Alexandra would have brought it up with Foresight at least.
Oh, there's tons of ways the info could be out there!
I just wanted to clarify where my NPCs were coming from :-)
This was the plan even before all the cracks about Odysseus drinking wine, but I'm so glad it became a running joke.
Given that it is circe's magic effecting Odysseus, perhaps another, quite traumatic flashback is in order.
Yeah I can do that!
Any Take a Powerful or Conditions I should mark as part of it? (Since I feel pretty sure you know what the overall content of it will be) :-p
Why not. Losing control could be very fun...
to clarify: why not take a powerful...
that makes 4 advances... not sure what im doing yet, but eyeing a few things...
Everyone okay?
Here and happy!
Just awaiting the Bad News with Odysseus :-p
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I kind of think someone should overhear Alexis mocking Odysseus and react poorly since he failed his C&S. :-P
Also, Team is currently 2 with Wingblade's earlier use with Cassie.
:-) I like me a social consequence!
Any thoughts on an appropriate NPC? Someone whose opinion Alexis doesn't care about or who he will never see again isn't really much of a consequence.
The closest NPC that Alexis would care about is Whippoorwill, really. Anyone else he couldn't give a toot about.
