welcome, we will begin shortly, until then, you can put a filler post to keep this thread tracked

This is a dot, now it's.....................

.

Okay, lets begin. it is a hot, sunny september day, first day back. you are all in homeroom, what are you doing?

Matthew is sitting in his seat near the window, occasionally taking a look outside into the ever dreary Washington skies. On his desk a small notebook with a dark leather cover inscribed with the symbol for the U.S. Marines. Everyonce in awhile he scribbles a note into it as an idea pops in his head.

He's dressed in a green golf t-shirt with his favorite jeans. He always wore the same shirt to the first day of school since the start of Highschool. It was probably one of the few days he really cared what he wore.

Carrie bursts into the room. She's carrying a cup of coffee. Not that fancy coffeehouse crap from organic fair trade beans hand selected by Tibetan virgins. This is the cheap stuff from the donut shop where they never clean the machines because the customers complain it makes it too weak.

She's wearing boots, jeans and her leather jacket. She's got several studded leather belts hanging off of her hips. The screen-printing on a couple of the letters on her shirt has been scraped off. With the changes, it theoretically meets the school's dress code. and the Paizo filters It now says, "Furks given about your sl it: 0"

Feel free to have the teacher give me crap about my shirt

Matthew

Your eyes flit up from your notebook momentarily, and you see Monika eyeing it, fascinated. meanwhile, to your right, you hear Emily chewing paul out for something he did at a party recently. What do you do?

Carriekazi

you walk in, and Louis immediately rises from his seat, confronting you quietly Carrie, you should button your jacket, thats not an apropriate shirt. His face has that usual derisive sneer on it. meanwhile, you see Eric and Kai comparing battle scars close to your desk. what do you do?

William is reading a new book he got from his favorite bookstore. It's a space romance, a title who's cover would suggest action than lovelorn hidden inside. Occasionally, he lifts his eyes from his reading to glance around the room.

At Carrie's outburst, he wavers in reality a bit longer, but this is Carrie we're talking about. William eventually ignores whatever's about to happen.

Matthew, noticing the prying eyes of Monika, calmly closes his book and keeps it right on his desk. With a hand rested upon it, he watches the spectacle that was Carrie's arrival.

Sam's got his hair rather long right now, and he's wearing a red plaid jacket festooned with buckles over his black t-shirt.

Sam walks in to the classroom just in time to hear Louis's comment. "You'd better button your mouth, Louis, or it's going to get real inappropriate for you. Why don't you just mind your own life?"

She leans over Louis' desk to look him in the eye, "Quit staring at my t$$*, you pervert." As she steps back to claim the back corner, she smiles at Sam, "You can stare a little."

Aldrea walks in. More like wafts in. She seems to glide as she walks. The air of superiority shimmers around her. Two of her 'friends' leave as she enters the class. Since they are from other areas of the school. She takes no notice of the rest as she goes to her seat. She calmly sits down. Open her case and takes out her things. All neatly packed and arranged.
She quickly glances over to Cain, just to make sure hes there, and at very least presntable. She barely makes eye contact with her new 'member'. Hope he and Alice had a good night last night. She hasnt said anything yet. But that was both good and bad. Time will tell.

Ah. The new kid. Useful. Aldrea barely got her stuff out before she came running with the new schedule book of the school. Most of the week's activities already filled in. As she said. Useful.
"Good girl" is all Aldrea say as she ruffles her hair.

William

You return to the embrace of fantasy, but Abbey jerks you back nto reality when she leans over and asks What are you reading, will?. What do you do?

Matthew

Monika decides to engage you, she turns in her chair, and says, bubbling Morning Matt, what have you been up to lately? What do you do?

Sam

That sounds like manipulate an NPC, with threats of violence asa leverage

Carriezaki

That sounds like Shut someone down, and maybe Turn Someone On for Sam

Aldrea

You take your seat, and feel your phone buzz, you have a text from Rachel. Meanwhile, Carrie is accusing Louis of ogling her, and Sam looks like he might throw a punch already, what do you do?

Before she answers her phone, she gives Sam a look
"Now now Sam, class is about to start, rather keep that frustration for later, gym? After school?"

She looks as Carrie "Let the boy look, nothing wrong with window shopping, your choice if you let people into the shop" she gives Carrie a wink

IF the situation with Cain is defused, she will take a look at the text from Rachel

Shut this rat down: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 3) - 1 = 6
Begin the chaos!
Wish I had the +2 bonus bargain right now...

shut down: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 2 = 11
Not turning on, just acknowledging he tried to help

Sam

You levi pushes you back, clearly unhappy with your comment What's wrong man, she your girlfriend or something, why are you flipping out like that It would seem your comment came off as more aggressive than you had intended, gain the condition Psycho

Carriekazi

What'll it be, condition, or string?

Aldrea

You check the text, it reads we have a situation with Gretchen, she's really upset. What do you do?

William raises an eyebrow. He knew Abbey, talked to her a few times even, couldn't believe what people were saying her.

"The Eyes of Saturn," he answered. "the cover looked interesting so I thought I'd try it."

He glances over her shoulder and notices her sketchbook.

"Whatcha drawing over there?"

"You ain't seen flipping out yet, Louie." Sam winds up for a wild haymaker.

Lash out like a psycho: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 1 = 5
Oh come on.

I'll take the string

She immediately calls out at Louis, "Why'd you kick him? Freak!"

Manipulate an NPC to convince the room that Louis started it.
2d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 6) - 1 = 10

Will

Abbey suddenly stammers Uh... It's nothing, i just doodle little designs sometimes She says far to quickly, while not-so-casually flipping the book closed. What do you do?

Sam

you easily overpower him, Louis hasn't got much in the brawn department (Or brains, for that matter). his nose is dripping blood, and his eye will be black in a little while. unfortunately, this is when ms. Isle chooses to enter. she immediately rushes over. Samuel Caine, go to the dean's office, immediately! What do you do?

Carriekazi

You sure you're not trying to shut him down, and apply the condition [i]Instigator[/b] or Freak?

Curious, Will holds out his book.

"Trade you for five minutes." he offers. He had a respect for people who were artistic. His talents in that area would forever be forever lamenting this.

He is caught off guard by the shrill voice of Ms. Isle who is now apparently screaming at Sam.

Sam...Good guy. If he wasn't at that party when I got cornered...

Will

You sure you're not trying to shut him down, and apply the condition [i]Instigator[/b] or Freak?

Instigator works better. Interesting game, takes a little settling in.

Will

I'd... I don't... Umm... She is very hesitant. manipulate an NPC to get her to agree.

Carriekazi

Yeah, but that's why I'm here. trust me, you'll be correcting me soon

"Staying out of situations like that of course, how are you Monika," he asks giving her a casual smile of some friendliness.

Manipulate NPC: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 4) - 1 = 8

"I mean, if you don't want to its fine."

Will wonders if he overstepped his bounds...

She groans. She needs to have a word with him. She did warn him that class is about to start...

And now another problem....
"Ma'am, may I be excused?" she asks quickly. Maybe buy her 10min so she can get a grip on the sudden events

if allowed. She will text Rachel to come explain asap so she has time to think before break. And she can also get in a few words with Cain on the way out

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. And my name isn't Samuel." Sam shrugs and walks out of the classroom towards the Dean's office, winking at Carrie as he goes. "Nice jacket."

Turn on the ghoul: 2d6 + 0 ⇒ (3, 2) + 0 = 5
Ok, now the dice roller is just f$%$ing with me.

Turn On: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

"My dear Cain, add a little bit more touch to your words. Like this... "
She puts her hand on Carrie's arm and says in a much softer tone "Nice jacket"

-Posted with Wayfinder

You doing me or Carrie?

She blushes a bit, and turns away, holding her jacket closed, "Ms. Isle, why are you only punishing one of the people? Sam went a little overboard, but he was only reacting to getting kicked. If Louis hadn't been staring at my chest, this whole thing wouldn't have happened."

Aldrea gets a grin on her face. A very sly one at that. She gives a wink at Carrie before she is out the door

if the teacher allowed her to leave

Putting in a dot so I can find the campaign more easily

Matthew

Not much really, been kinda lonely over the summer, with Abbey in france. Hey have you seen that new superhero movie. Monika says, smiling. every time she blinks, yu notice her dark green eyeshadow, she used far too much, it seems she's just started using it. what do you do?

Will

No, it's uhh... please, promise me you won't laugh she want's some reassurance that she can trust you. out of curiosity, are these romance novels more romantic, or are they bodice rippers? what do you do?

Aldrea

Just be back before the bell She says (It is currently 7:53, you have 7 minutes). what do you do?

Sam

There are no immediate consequences to your attempt at turning on Carie. you reach the Deans office. the secretary knows you by name Morning Sam, what are you hear for this time

[b]Carrie

sounds like you are manipulating an NPC, while tagging louis's instigator condition. also, do you give Aldrea a string on you, promise something you think she wants, or give yourself to her?

Eliza

You have been sitting quietly through all of this, watching monika shamelessly hit on matt, Sam hit louis (You can smell the blood in the air, smells tasty), and listening to Leah tell joe about her summer (what she can remember of it) while he furtively tries to look down her shirt. what do you do?

Eliza does very little, actually. She's waiting for class to begin by sitting primly and looking at the space where the teacher will soon stand. She finds that when she presents a blank slate, people project their own desires on her. It's much easier than trying to figure out what they want and reflecting that back to them. The smell of blood is enticing, but it would not do for her to get up and get involved. Still, reverence is a beast that will starve if it's not fed enough. When she's certain that everyone is more involved in their own conversations than they are in Louis' bloody nose, she gives Louis a single, fleeting sympathetic look before returning her gaze to the front of the class. People are convinced that Eliza is like an iceberg. Below the cold exterior is a whole mountain just below the surface. They're right, but as any diver will tell you: Go too deep below an iceberg and all you'll get is a frozen, lonely death.

Sam saunters into the office with the air of one accustomed to the place. He nods at the secretary, "Hey, Miss Wilkinson. Here to see Dean Bishop, she around? Popped Louis in the face." He shrugs and slouches against the wall. "Think I beat the record this time, heheh."

No one had named the dean yet, so I took the liberty of doing so. Eliza, that could fit Turn Someone On... Could get a string at the least. I think Manipulate needs a bit of talking, but it's up to Volsung ultimately.

Either turn someone on or manipulate are both hot-based, so I'll get the same roll no matter what. Volsung, let me know what I'm rolling.

William sighs, and considers for a moment. There would have to be a bit of give and take.

"As long as you don't go telling everyone my reading material." William answers, holding out his book at one of his favorite sections, a particularly steamy scene full of sap.

Definitely more romantic, though bodice rippers are a guilty pleasure.

She nods and walks out. But she has a bit more of a haste to her step. She is going to see Rachel and get a quick rundown on what she has to handle later in the day

-Posted with Wayfinder

I'll give Aldrea the string.
manipulate: 2d6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) - 1 + 1 = 4 *sigh*

Sam

Thank you for the name. seriously, they're a b!!@$ to come up with You'll have to wait, at seems someone else beat you to the record she says. you hear badly muffled moans coming from the dean's room, which The secretary is pointedly deaf to. what do you do?

Eliza

Question, is there something you specifically want him to do, or do you just want you to be drawn deeper into your bitey arms?

Carriekazi

The teacher sneers down her nose at you What I hear is one exemplary student saying one thing, a a few known troublemakers and delinquents saying something else. I think perhaps you should take a seat. Gain the condition Delinquent. What do you do?

Will

After a brief look at the page you are on, she opens her notebook, in it is a multi-view sketch (head on, side view, and above view) of a strange reptillian creature with batwings. Theyre illistrations for some Witcher fanfic I'm writing. It's really nerdy, I know she says. What do you do?

Aldrea

You meet Rachel in the hall I'm sorry, but Gretchen is really upset, Michael cheated on her, she is crying and I thought you might want to know. What do you do?

Matthew rises an eyebrow, "Which?"

Ideally, she'd like Louis to one over sniffing for sympathy. She'll accept just drawing him into her web in a grander sense though

"Crap, guess I'll need to try harder next year." Sam keeps an eye open for a glimpse of the mystery student 'meeting' with the dean. Well now, this could be useful.

This always helps with names.

Matt

Suicide squad, the one with the cute girl and Will Smith She says, toying with a ringlet in her raven hair. what do you do?

Eliza

[ooc]No, sounds like a good manipulate[/b]

A few moments after Louis sits down, your phone buzzes. if you check it, you see a message from him sayin My place? Tonight?. He wants you to feed off him again. what do you do?

[b]Sam[b]

You will need to distract the secretary (Ms Parsons) to get a look inside the room. what do you do?

"Haven't seen it sadly. Just haven't been in a movie watching mood," he responds while checking down at his phone for a moment before pocketing. He grabs a pencil from his other pocket and puts it on his desk.

I was just going to wait and see who comes out.
