Well actually if you want to use your magical GM powers and throw Greg somewhere that would work out nicely too. I was just going to have him kind of meandering about, maybe check out the Bizaare Bazaar, but unknown mystery location works too.

And I stuck you on the roof. I admit it isn't anything new yet, and I'll likely be sending him elsewhere very soon, but I guess I want all of them to be aware of the rooftops, and possibly get a view of the rest of the city above the crowded streets.

EDIT: Bard. Just as a note I already hate your character. This is amusing since one of the primary goals of the game is for me to be constantly thinking of ways to send most of you up shit creek. Expect the emo to have his own grand Nightmare in his business.

While considering routes for replying in the game, it struck me how different Overcast's style seems to be from most other GMs here. Normally, I feel like I'm writing part of a narrative with moving the story along a plot arc as my aim. With this, I think my goal is just writing anything, and leaving it to Overcast to throw me something to write about. It's strange and kinda nice being relieved of the responsibility of trying to "move the story along."

I guess I'm trying to lead the story to some particular points if I can, no need to make your own points when I am trying to think up the whole plot like a choose your own ending novel.

Stick with it and I'll lead you somewhere. Which is good because I haven't even gotten to the truly bastardly nightmares.

Bring it on. I'll have more to write for him if he is forced to do stuff. Because he ain't doin' shit on his own I'll tell you that.

Sorry I haven't posted since that first one, and thus stopping Bard from posting unless he wants to go ahead and make it seem like my character ignored him for the time being. Been busy, real world stuff, had an epiphany followed by a revelation followed by a revelation that the last revelation and epiphany were nonsense, killed a cat, etc. You know, the usual reasons why people don't post for prolonged periods of time.

Anywho! I'll have a post up tonight (where tonight is loosely defined as anywhere between 8pm and 5am). See ya then!

Blame this one on impatience. The dice are getting dusty and nothing was happening as of yet between the two of them. This won't happen often, but this early on I just got that itchy feeling in my palms.

Overcast · 05-20-2010, 11:57 AM

Alrighty, looking over stuff I already completed the dice roll for Phil, but I ought to make sure I am right about both Bard and Arcanum.

From the way it looks the emo left the doc hanging so no Discipline dice added from him. I wasn't told that the doc's roll had any extra dice added so I figure he just went through discipline. So we have 3 D vs 6 P. If this is proper the roll will come and I will be honest...not looking good for you Arcanum.

Bard The 5th LW · 05-20-2010, 12:21 PM

I'll leave up a post some time, if I don't just assume that Edmund is fleeing the scene with Arcanum's guy.

Edmund did give the doc some info however, he told him that the paper boy's were probably no good for him to be around. That's something.

Overcast · 05-20-2010, 03:21 PM

True, enough that he will get a chance to roll for escape. On that note I do mean roll for escape, this one little dice item will constitute all the amusing dramatics of how you two get away.

So win or lose have fun with the result as best you can.
