Jury duty over, was dismissed! Hurrah. Local magistrate court is tiny in comparison to all my past jury duty summons! Only 1 trial, only 6 jurors and an alt needed. Advance done. Went for some more skills. Raised Notice and Taunt as well as the freebie Stealth.
That's what I assumed you meant. :) I got busy yesterday on back yard garden prep and have day one of jury duty soon here today. I'm hoping I don't get picked and will be home after lunch and can do it then.
Ooh. A stealthy advance! Should have time to do this later today.
Well, it may be "my" game, but if the players aren't interested in what I want to do with it, it won't last very long... :) Lol. no. I like it. We can find things for Harold to do. Some ladies might need escorting! :)
Sounds good to me. Hey, it's your game, go for it!
"Ah. A true gentleman you are!"
After a few days of fancy food and such Daisy is ready for a hole in the wall diner type place and looks for one. She's not dumb though, strange new station, she'll bring a friend or two.
"Oh Honey, I bought three big bags yesterday but the more, the merrier!"
Daisy looks around at the, er mentally virtual group and nods at Lynx.
Sounds like a good idea to me. I think we've got a good team for it.
"That's actually good to hear. I imagine any big plan for quick change will be bad for pretty much everyone..."
<Daisy laughs. "This is why we love Wren. No nonsense and to the point. I think hers is the big question.">
"I've been burning calories shopping! I could eat. Also.." She hands her a still hot cup of dark roast coffee from the local shop, "This was my last stop, grabbed this for you on the way out." During dinner, "Is this fresh squash and zucchini? Yum, sauteed in a little butter just like my maw made! And strawberries too? Damn, where does a girl go to sign up!" She also agrees to the group Vulcan mind meld.
Daisy will saunter around, buying at least one set of sheets, towels, pillow, blanket, etc to upgrade one room. She does buy Harold a nice manly looking throw pillow with a bright pink heart in the middle. She will also look for some good coffee, if the shop is selling it she'll get several bags. She'll also buy another small pot to replace that one. Everyone knows the one, it's handle has been replaced three times but the bottom is so thin it's starting to leak. She'll hit the coffee shop last, grab two dark roasts (Just in case) and set of pasties if they have any.
"Aw hon, I was thinking coffee now and coffee later! Then we can find some clothes for this poor lost orphan boy."
"Sounds like a plan! And I do like a good dark roast! Want me ta' bring you anything back at dinner time?" Daisy will be happy to go do a little shopping. Clothes, a home goods type place to do her usual purchases to 'tidy up' the ship. Maybe something pink for Harold's room.
<Well. Y'all know me. I'm always up for a good shopping run. Hey, ya'll know of a good coffee place nearby?">
<Harold has a point. I don't know that there's an alliance presence here at all but we usually do stay on planet at least a day or two. I dunno. Maybe they don't have spies here but...>
"Well, i'd be just fine with that. We been able ta stay away from Imperial, er, Alliance entanglements pretty well so far." She thinks for a second.
"This feels like a girls sleepover when I was young. Leanin' in close so the parental units don't hear us! But seriously, while the Alliance don't bother us too much back home, i've seen more than enough ta' know how heavy handed and unforgiving they are. Better ta' keep undetected than go fer big wins."
Awesome. We've been working with our local animal control to help rescue and foster for over 12 or 13 years. We've had a few Foster fails and one of the current pack is one of them.
That's a wonderful view on it. Of our 4, one is my girlfriends last cat she had when we first started dating over 15 years ago. A cranky old man. All 3 of the others are rescues we adopted.
Daisy only takes a few seconds to think about it. "Bein' around our own ship board special guy and how awesome he is, i'm fine with it. Just don't dig into what myself and another young woman did ta' Mr. Barnaby's farm when we was 15. He deserved that...."
Very sorry to hear that. We have 4 right now and love them more than any child we may have ever had together. :) Let us know if you need anything. You know, from strangers on the internet.
"So, this group asked us ta find you guys. Do you know of them?"
Daisy lets a relieved breath out, "Oh good. So ya know why we been tryin' ta find you. And if ya know it all, we ain't sure we completely trust the ones who sent us. Or at least I don't."
Daisy will saunter up with a sunny smile, "Pleased ta' meet ya! I just hope that at worst we part ways amicably."
"Well y'all, there it is. For some reason I think we should go..."
Daisy speaks softly to the group, "Maybe tell him the guy was drunk and dropped it and wandered off?"
Daisy will take a casual look around to see if anyone else is showing any extra attention to the situation.
Hells yeah. Really looking forward to it. Playing lots of fun sounding games.
So yeah. fun times!
FYI: I'll be at a face to face gaming con this weekend. Will have internet so should still be checking in between games.
Daisy glances over to see if Arabella looks like she's going to give Harold some words to pass on.
Sounds fun! I'm in 4 campaign games already though so...
If they actually paid a living wage for the days youre gone on jury duty, it wouldnt be a pain. Hah! You'll take your $20 a day or so and LIKE it, citizen! :)
Daisy will find a spot where she can see the back door. Probably best for Harold to be closer to the possible action...
I'm always happy to NOT be picked. A coworker who had never been picked before got called for jury duty right at the start of the busiest time for us this year. He got it, was voted to be the foreman.
Daisy will hang around the bar, slowly drinking, talking to people and being friendly but letting them know she's just winding down with a drink and isn't interested in anything more. So.. counting on how big the place is 1 or 2 rounds away.
"Should we all be in the bar or should someone be outside, just in case?"
Daisy will check the ship to see if there are any subtle earbuds or similar and if no... go shopping! Although, haven't we used some in the past?
"One or two of us should go in now, grab a drink, stay and talk for a short while, get a look see in general and head out like we're new fish who found a cool new bar. Who wants to go with?"
"Where was this darn meeting at? We should scope it out before we head out there fer sure."
Daisy will keep up the facade and not push on anything they seem hesitant about and focus more on what they are openly talking about. She'll make excuses for Harold, intimating a recent breakup with Arabella...
Daisy will be friendly as usual, helping out with meals and such. She'll talk about innocent things like: "Scientists, huh? Wow, ya'll got to be real smart to work as scientists! Is it as exciting as it sounds or just another boring office type job?" "Out this far it can be a tad rough. Ya'll stay together and safe, all i'm sayin'" "You, yeah, you. Where'd ya get that snazzy coat. That other lady, she's been looking for something like that for her man, you know the big quiet one!"
