Thread #127752

ypa

Present.

thomas wtf

I've come to the realization that Thomas is a scientist who has been exposed to MAGIC and has had ZERO reaction to it.

A bit late to the realization.

I just figured he was too far gone to notice that it was magic haha

When I questioned if magic was real everyone treated me like a dumb weirdo.

I basically had that idea of Thomas suddenly realizing MAGIC about two weeks ago really.

It's probably a good idea to presume we've now met up in the morning and are talking somewhere.
The church? The ladies' hovel? The other building of note we were talking with Strikes-the-Blood with?

I don't know if wicked sick is the sort of thing someone would say in this time period. Even someone as unhinged as Thomas.

I am pretty sure I've had Thomas say way more things that are strange than just wicked sick

>>127775
idk where you guys met up haha

StB's crib is probably where you'd be if you're getting ready for magic

Thomas' vernacular is so distanced from proper dialogue of the time period that it's hard to even care any more.

did I fix it

>>127781
This problem is so broken I don't think there's any fixing it anymore.
Like you might be able to put a broken cup back together if it's in shards, but what you've done is pound the cup into a fine powder.

and then snorted the powder

I'm not a bumbling idiot. Don't lump me in with them, NPC!

We haven't heard of a Jeffery before.

yeah you have
it's the guy you referred to as a bear man last session

Oh I see.
We hadn't gotten a name for him.
That or my ctrl+f was misspelled.

Oh, I guess I called him Singing Bear instead of Jeffery Singing Bear last time.

Oh boy an Aboriginal tea ceremony.

are you ready

More or less.

what do you think will happen next

We all die because we trusted the old man.

haha yeah stb is actually curtis

nanchatte
can you imagine

Were we unable to tell because we're horrible racists that think all indians look alike

I wonder if a Sense Danger roll would have helped at all at the tea.

haha the tea was just tea this time

It keeps happening!

This is probably still the most entertaining route.
Unless it was all a ruse and there's no magic and you're going to break Thomas' heart.

there is no magic only chloroform.

There will be magic!

there might also be a baby kyaa!

Oh.
Boy.

I think it's a little early to be figuring out the gender.

i don't think anyone has any geology, do they?

Nada.

"no big deal guys"

If the sun is even remotely close to noon position, it's all but impossible to tell the way north is.
At best you could estimate between north and south and make a coin flip.

Who needs to know about stupid rocks and stuff.

It keeps happening.

Oh based VV.

But not her surprise, since she never packed for GETTING STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING DESERT.

poor felicity

Damnit Kirara.

reminds us what we're here for
creating new life

Can we roll Preparedness to see if we brought along a light.

you will not need a light!

Oh that is sure a relief.

Does the door have a knocker or a knob?

It does not appear to have either

Does it have any manner of accessory for facilitating the opening of it?

It doesn't look like it does, at least.

nailed it

man i am fuckin up my pronouns all over the place for some reason tonight
why do i keep using you

[In-jokes intensify]

Huh escalators have been in public use since before 1900.
Not common but the people of this society would probably know what they are.

As would an escalator totally implies that is isn't an escalator.

I think the first escalator was designed in the late 1880s, but they didn't start actually getting used until around 1910 or something.

Native Americans living in huts on a reservation probably wouldn't know what an escalator is though haha

Yeah, hah hah hah.
But our player characters might know them by concept.

oh i see what you mean
yeah i'd be surprised if you didn't

aww shit

It works out nicely.
Felicity was starting to babble from a movie that isn't even out yet in her time anyway.

>thomas is totally fine with it

He was talking to sand earlier.

felicity loses 1 stability, VV and thomas are fine

Would that put her at seven, then?
I've got two numbers here and I can't remember which one is actually correct.
Okay.
I should probably tidy that part up.

7, yeah

If I get a roll clear can I have her not flinch a muscle from that.

Sure

#d6 (1)
Fuck.
Hah hah hah.

haha

hard to blame her after a day like this though

thomas can actually do something unique here
he can spend a cthulhu mythos to understand it

does that // how does that work
what happens when I spend a cthulu point
Is it just like my regular stats and remains?

it's the same as spending an investigative ability, only it won't come back later
once it's gone it's gone

Nice
Oh not as nice?
Do I get san back as a result? Er, san-cap

you will not

Nothing ventured nothing gained, I'll do it anyway

alright
!

only thomas can understand it as of now

also thomas has gained a unique language
zoog language

Da-na-na-naaaa

neat

to the team, when thomas speaks to the creature, it sounds like he's just blowing air at it

rhythmically

I've got this image of him just huffing and puffing.
It's probably not quite correct but it's funny enough.

that is actually pretty much correct

It's a hammerspace bag.

as expected of science

lol rika

oops!

Did she post something risque?

haha fuck

Casual British racism.

Specifically Thomas was reaching for explosives as you'd expect from him while navigating around the rodent.

I was considering just the 2 points instead of 3 but I was really not feeling like rolling a 1.

If there's ever a moment where fleeing is necessary lemme know.

Could I Scuffle to disarm the one with the spear?

with a 4, you can get the spear out of its hands
with a 5+, you can take the spear

Sanic speed let's go

How high is the net/would it take much effort to get it down

you can probably just pull it down with your hands, the huts aren't tall

wow a 7

Man I should have just saved one of those points.

Thomas being tired is very fair haha

Thomas is tired.

What kind of// well I don't have points really never mind, but what kind of roll would it be to try and trip the person as they're running towards me in the smoke

athletics probably

I get the feel we're being lead around here.

This thing is talking like Thomas a bit.

haha

I imagine we've about hit our stopping point for tonight?

hmm
Can I use assess honesty on a creature that doesn't have a face and speaks a language I don't understand?

No! But ToN can.

Does he even have assess honesty?
Or the desire to use it?
He's a sucker for mascot characters.

Looks like he does not have assess honesty.

Thomas is kind of a sucker for everything.

I don't have assess honesty and out of character and even in Thomas is wondering about this thing but I suppose we don't have many other leads aside from the raven that swooped down to terrorize Felicity.

you could have followed the boat too

You distracted me with cthulu stuff

I'm going to sleep though now so I gotta go.
>>128234
Thanks for the options, I just meant that as "I didn't do x because you gave me y which was more tailored to my character."

I was just giving you options!

>>128227
We're doomed

>>128231
That was my intention until Octo-rodent appeared.

Assess Honesty would've been harder to lore in than my Locksmith point.

>>128235
I did say previously that this would be a harder section of the game!
I've been going easy on you so far but soon you'll be fighting some scary things!

In all honesty that last fight went really well all things considered.
Thomas wasn't even in danger of becoming an owlbear.

>>128240
A little too well, don't you think?
Like we slaughtered some harmless indigenous peoples at the behest of a tiny little monster?

They would have eaten us had we come across them anyway so it's probably fine.

Well we don't know that for sure.
All we have going for that is the word of an octo-rodent.

That's right!

I'm gonna go to bed now. Goodnight.

RIP peacefully in

bye bye

>>128247
true but they were going to attack us at the very least, Kirara gave that out of character
