I'm fine not having heard the shotgun thing - Are you okay switching what she called out as suspicious to him shrugging off being set on fire?
That works for me if it works for Ashton; what say we pick it up from the top of the post where Ashton made a Gaze Into the Abyss roll, with the understanding that Hayden didn’t hear or bring up the shotgun thing?
Sure. Do you want to repost it and we can restart the argument so I know exactly what Ashton is respond to?
Or that, yeah. That makes sense.
I'd rather stick with how nonchalant he was about the fire. The point isn't that she saw something overtly supernatural. She already knows he's something supernatural. The point is that she's deflecting, not that she's trying to expose him.
Same rolls is fine.
While we’re on the subject Hayden, do you see your father as belonging to a particular “species” of fae or position in fae society? I can improvise, just curious if you already had anything in mind. (Also a name for him, unless you want me to come up with one.)
Her father goes by (usually disrespectful) titles more than names (though he has a few of those too), and referring to one that he doesn't find funny at the moment is perilous indeed.
Some Sample Titles: The Drunken Sage, The Horned One, King C**k, His Most Regal Sot, Master of the Wild Hunt.
Names he's used: Cernunnos, Bacchus, Pan.
He is The king of the satyrs/fauns. Essentially he's Pan/Bacchus but bound by oaths and promises the same as the sidhe. In his realm everything's a party and nothing's a problem, usually. Once something's a problem though he and his followers go all Bacchae/Wild Hunt on it with terrifying ferocity.
Princess of Panic is (one of) Hayden's actual titles, should she be returned to court.
Something we haven’t really been doing with Gaze Into the Abyss: it’s a very vague move, but technically you’re supposed to ask a specific question when you use it. I’m guessing that Ashton’s question here would be “What type of creature is Hayden” (correct me if I’m wrong). Something we should probably keep in mind going forward.
EDIT: Or not necessarily a specific question, but rather "what you're looking for." Which I guess y'all have generally been good about implying anyway. It really is a frustratingly vague move.
The Uktena's a friend of Cernunnos ;-)
Or you could go with the Nunnehi.
Is Eva making an effort to stay hidden while following Clove, or just following them openly?
Ready to roll into a Hayden/Deirdre conversation btw, but not sure if there's more before we scatter :-)
Yep, standing by until the GM is ready to move along.
Are we waiting on another push from the GM?
Sorry, been knee-deep in work this past weekend. If we want to jump to Ashton and Hayden's late-night conversation we can do that. Anyone else doing anything specific this night?
I hear that - I'll try to kick off some Hayden shenanigans tonight if no one else has started something :-)
Nothing to add,... ready to move forward
Yeah, sorry, I'm around. Just need to post something quick so I'm not the logjam :-/
Just to be clear, Hayden knows that she's half-fae and is just being cagey about it, is that right?
Bingo.
No worries, I'm having a busy few weeks anyway so it's cool if we move slow for a bit. Feel better soon!
This scene with JJ could potentially affect others depending on how it plays out, but if people want to describe anything in particular they're doing the following day, we can take it from there.
So, JJ, we don't really need to do a full post-coital scene with Xavier unless you really want to; I want to make sure we get everyone involved again as soon as we can.
I do want to establish the following, however:
1. Are you making any plans with Xavier regarding what you do or don't plan to tell the rest of the group re: the ritual and Xavier's new powers?
2. What are you doing with the candle?
Hey, just checking, is anybody else still alive?
<- this is JJ's player.
I will be on a cruise next week from 4/1-4/6 without Internet access. It will likely take me till the following Monday or Tuesday to get caught up and resume posting.
GM, please bot me as necessary.
No worries, have fun!
So, normally this would happen after a PC has taken their 5th advance, but since things are sort of coming to a head plot-wise and this feels pretty close to the end of a "season," I'm thinking of allowing everyone to take a Season Advance as their next level-up if they so choose.
These allow you to make more drastic changes to your character's concept or mechanics based on what's happened thus far (or things you would like to happen before the season ends).
Note that the "rewrite" advances will need to be worked out with me and if you change your skin, you're going to need some sort of justification for why your skin is changing (i.e. no turning into a vampire for no reason).
Also note that retiring your character means that the character is *safe*, I won't fiat that they die offscreen or something unless that is something you want.
The Season Advances are:
Change your character’s Skin.
Rewrite your Sex Move.
Rewrite your Darkest Self.
Retire your character and start a new one.
Gain 2 of the Growing Up moves.
Growing Up Moves
Make Others Feel Beautiful
When you make others feel beautiful, roll with hot. On a 10 up, choose two:
they carry 1 forward;
they remove a Condition;
they mark experience;
you carry 1 forward.
On a 7-9, you can offer them an experience point to do what you want.
Call People On Their Sh*t
When you call people on their sh*t, roll with cold. On a 10 up, choose one:
they lose a String against someone else;
they freeze up, break down, or bail.
On a 7-9, choose one, and they give you a Condition.
Intervene Against an Act of Violence
When you intervene against an act of violence, roll with volatile. On a 10 up, choose one:
they take -2 to their roll (NPCs either act at a Disadvantage or fail entirely);
deal harm to them;
give them a Condition.
On a 7-9, they choose:
take -2 to their roll (NPCs either act at a Disadvantage or fail entirely);
target you with the violence instead.
Share Your Pain
When you share your pain, roll with dark. On a 10 up, choose two. On a 7-9, choose one:
remove a Condition (from yourself or someone who listened);
carry 1 forward toward helping yourself;
those who listened carry 1 forward toward helping you
Works for me. :)

JJ vanishes in a great purple haze. ;)
Fine by me :-)
Thinking about changing my Darkest Self into something sharper but shorter - otherwise with Deirdre's sex move it's hard to spend time outside of my darkest self.
Still musing on the specifics of what that would be, but that's the direction I'm leaning.
Sorry for the delay in posting, y’all, I’m alive I swear.
Still waiting on the GM. Hope everything's okay...
Apologies for the delay, everyone, I've been a bit distracted with life stuff. I'm considering wrapping up the campaign after finishing up this plot thread (unless someone else would like to take over?)
It's been a month since the last GM post. I'm thinking this one might be done. :(
Yeah :-/
Great gaming with all of you guys though!
Yes, it's been a lot of fun. I'm going to mark this one as inactive on my list. If by some chance it starts up again, please send me a PM and I'll check back in. See you all around! :D
