hello

Hello!

The weekly multi-tasking nightmare begins.

I was distracted but I'm here now.

>>14560
there's less anime on sunday, right?
maybe we should move it to sunday morning
(24 hours from now, for those that have weird time schedules)

Another possibility is, do we need to do it at 03:00 in the morning now that we don't have SK or Floop around?
I'm fine with doing it right now this week but we could maybe arrange a different time from now on.

Oh that's true.
Maybe we should discuss an alternate time, yeah.

I can't do afternoons generally
well i could on a weekend afternoon actually

>>14562
The only really light anime days are on weekdays. Every other day has 3+ shows.

This time is fine.
There is anime on these nights but none of it is super amazing.

It's really not fine.
Watching anime and playing the game is a fair bit of a nuisance for me and has been since I said it would be from the get-go.
If we don't need to host the game at this time for people in weirder timezones, why do it?

Well, I'm fine with whatever time.
Where is ToN?

I think he just missed the memo.

what time would be ideal for you tilde

We could just push it up an hour or so
then there wouldn't be a conflict as long as anime started at the proper time, right?

oh

So like
We're doing it later?

no

oh

But maybe at a different time in the future.

>>14593
Night is just difficult in general since there's a lot of arbitrary factors.

Would the evening, before you go to bed, be too difficult?

No, evening on Friday or Saturday would be fine with me.
I don't mind going to bed late on one of those nights either as long as I can go to bed by like midnight.

Of those two, Saturday would be more preferential for me.

Wow preferential is a word
can it be used interchangeably with preferable like that though
English is weird

Preferable to, preferential for.
I think that's the main difference.
But fuck I don't pay attention to grammar rules I just go with what feels right.

>>14607
Alright, is there a time that's best?
I can work my dinner and stuff around the game, but I don't know if it's that easy for you, ToN, and Rika.

I can like
become awake
sometimes
but I mean like
I can do the thing
With the waking up at a given time
Kinda
I didn't sleep tongiht
I 'mr eally tier
d

Saturday?
I'd prefer after 10 or so EST.

What about on Fridays.
Starting at ten at night would really limit game time.

>>14622
are you okay?
ah

I decided to play Berseria because I stayed up with Owl until 1130 talkinga bout character creation

If after 10 is what works best, I can stretch a little and do 10-1

>>14624
I can't really just not have dinner engagements on any Friday.

Also Kirara you're here so like
HAve you noticed that Magilou is the fucking best?

>>14628
I figured as much.
Does the same limitations extend to Saturday.

Starting at 10pm on Satuday is find /// fine with me
>>14630
yeah
>>14626
I'm also no sleep

Would 10pm-1am work for you ToN?
On Satudays?

>>14631
Yeah, running it early evening is kind of hard for me any day.

>>14633
I mean I just did it wwwwww

That should be fine

Okay.

So does the new time being 10pm-1am on Saturdays sound agreeable to everyone?

That's good for me.

/moe/ please.

I was going to add thanks for working this one out too but /moe/ instead wanted me to look like more of a selfish jerk.

Daijobu. If we do it at a time where there isn't anime distracting people, we'll be able to get quick answers from everyone when questions are asked to finalize decisions, too.

I always wondered why anime-time was the time that ended up being picked.
But now we don't really have a lot of people outside this uh
general timeszone

Partially because we're a lot of night owls and partially because of the Europe game members.

It was what worked best yeah
Now we're all in EST I think

Rika is probably CST
or whateve ris one over
x

>>14653
Ohio is EST.

I don't know man there's like
a time zone somewhere over there

Okay so the new time is 10 EST Saturday.
Are we still doing this thing tonight?

>>14656
I know!
I've been there!

>>14658
That's up to you guys.
Do you guys want to play right now or do you want to play at the new time later?

>>14660
Is she dropping the baguette.

I mean
I could play now
But because of my own retardation
I'm very dead

I only slept for about an hour or two, but I feel good enough to play if everyone wants to or if it would be inconvenient to do it tonight.

>>14670
wow

This game's amazing 10/10 top tier tales game

I said in the cthulu ooc chat.

Well, you two seem to be sleep deprived and Tilde isn't even responding, so why not tomorrow?

I'm having Internet problems right now.

I won't be any less sleep deprived later, probably.
But I'm fine with holding off until the new time.

>>14677
Blink twice if the new time is good for this session.

Sleep with me Kirara ~wink

So like Kirara there's this cute idol that's friends with your daughter?

ranko has a lot of friends

THat's surprising

wow

Okay I think they've blown over now.
I can play this session.

Would you be fine with holding off until the new time?

Yeah I'd be fine with it.

I was willing to play tonight from the get-go though!

Okay, sounds like we have a plan!
Let's hold off for now and reconvene to play at 10pm EST.

I'll do my best
Ganbaruzoi
Holy shit why is Blind awake.

it is almost 10pm est

Yup yup

it is 10 pm est

It certainly is!

Hopefully Rika's just slow and not suffering from Cloudflare.

Yeah

Slow? It's 10pm and I'm here.

also one second, i just spilled so much water all over myself

kyaa my shirt is see-through

nanchatte

Is everyone ready 2 go?

I'm ready.

oh
https://ara.doushio.com/archive/195972
last thread for anyone who wants to check anything

no wait that's not the last thread!

you're the last thread

>>6272 →
this is the last thread!

>>15464
Yes, I'm ready.

Pressing crazy people on why they're doing crazy things doesn't really sound like the best course of action.

I don't remember who eddie is.

really

How convenient that Kirara linked last week's thread to research these things.

Damn Rika
I mean like
He's the guy we talked to the bartender about

Oh, okay. I remember now.

haha you didn't think there was anything there

I expected something but not exactly this.

Ohh, I remember him completely now.
okay

Oh that Rika

Thomas is just having a nice conversation with thugs no big deal

these are fairly reasonably thugs

reasonable too

Wasn't the only thing we needed from Eddie the presumable tome he has on him

No we were talking to him because the homeless witness to the murder directed us to him.

Ah. Darn.
Then we DO need him.

bail

All these dice rolls.

I don't know if I should be hoping they roll high or low.

wow my brain sure made a bad sentence there

The bossmen always have light footsteps.

poor thomas

Kirara would it be wrong to presume Felicity is still carrying around the second gun obtained during the Boston chapter?

hmm
You can roll preparedness to see if you still have it
Difficulty 3

I'll keep that in mind for next time.
Wasn't entirely intending to use it even if I had it this time.

I expected it to be a Preparedness roll but I wanted to make sure.

COMPLETELY forgot we had information on who the boss is

>Thomas' brain suddenly starts working again
You know for a scientist it feels like IT HASN'T WORKED ONCE THIS ENTIRE GAME.

Wow mean
There was that one time that Thomas opened the clearly dangerous bo
There was that time that Thomas talked to the bartend
There was that one time that
Um

absent minded scientist moe

Important NPC dogpile.

haha

Naruhodo

Second question.
Who has on hand the FBI paper.

Last I remember, Felicity did

All right I'll roll a buffed Preparedness roll for that gun.
Can we only spend one point on a buffed roll or more?

You can spend as many points on it as you want.

I'll use both my points then.
This is kind of moot but #d6 (1) + 2
Pft.

alright
that's an auto 3 yeah haha
wow
nice
you have the gun then

fully loaded of course

wow felicity sounds so cool

if VV buys all of eddie's property, sicily will go homeless wwwwwww

She can come live with us at Archie's house
Disregard bar

i'm sure she'll get along with samuel

As opposed to reasonably not here.

i can't stop doing that
i'm on like 45 hours of no sleep though so i have an excuse

Yeah but it's funny.
Such is life.

All the bits of information are scattered.
Vernon doesn't even have the book--but neither Vane or Felicity know that.

Sicily might not even have it on her person.
And it's hard to trust Chansky entirely.

Plus it's in Felicity's nature to get to the bottom of a mystery. She is a beat reporter.

>>15679
Yeah, i remember.
That's why it was stupid to pull the FBI paper on him potentially--especially considering he reportedly is happy to play above the law.

chansky is a mob boss haha

Felicity also doesn't want to just pull the gun and back away and make the situation potentially boil over.

yeah pulling a gun on a mob boss sounds like a bad idea
and you guys still don't know whats up with thug b

Well at the least he doesn't have his baseball bat.

I have no idea how I'm keeping track of things right now
I feel so disorganized right now haha

I'm just feeling a little stuck.
I'm not sure how to proceed in a way which moves things towards a resolution.

what the fuck happened to thomas

The strong should fear the strong

VV is trying to sound scary.
I think that's difficult for her to do.

How is that not scary?
I intimidated him into doing something stupid.

You RUINED IT

Admittedly things might happen now but you RUIINED IT

It's not like we were going to trick or overpower the mob boss.
And he wants exactly what we want.

It's pretty taihen

there are two routes here
branch da

I can't believe Eddie is fucking dead

nobody ever said he was dead

i worry

Isn't this guy supposed to be like a fat mob boss?
He's not supposed to be fast.

All we heard was well-dressed.
Nothing about his weight.

he's not fat haha

now it's a chase
how long until rng makes you FAIL

Why did she even snatch the journal anyway.
Higgensworth had a tome.

I'll just sit over here wondering how I've failed preparedness agian.
Good luck running Rika

to review, in a chase, the person being chased and the chaser take turns rolling
the first one to fail the fleeing or athletics roll loses the chase (gets caught or gets away)

What if someone chases a chaser chasing.

rip vv

I rolled higher than him every time but I Still lose.

Kirara how far away are they.

>>15740
not very far
less than a minute away running

What does Firearms count for again.

shooting

I know that much.
But I remember there's finer details.

repair, identification, skill with firearms

Fucking hell Vane.

Everything is terrible

poor chansky

Is the National Guardsman who drove us here still chilling out by the city hall.

for convenience's sake, yeah

you guys don't have the tome yet
are you going back to dan already?

I know. But we don't know where it is--and I personally think just sitting around in public with a pissed-off mobster out and about isn't the safest idea.

Also Felicity doesn't care as much about this one because Archibald did say only if we run into Higgensworth.
It's optional and the murder is more interesting to her.

Fair enough.

>>15762
His fault!
I was trying to be reasonable.

>The yours
Yours, even.

So you guys are taking Eddie and returning to Dan?

Well I was planning on talking before leaving Orangetown.
But sitting around with a National Guardsman feels safer than a rookie with a gun and a lunatic ojou with a gun.

Sounds about right

VV with a gun is pretty scary

Chansky is pretty lucky that Thomas didn't have an explosive today.

Pretty much.

I think we were all lucky you didn't have an explosive today.

VV would've been fine, she had already started running

>when you start running you're running from the mob boss but then it becomes running from explosions

I wish we could have let Sicily be well enough off alone.
She didn't ask for this.

She has a hard life

also there's 10 minutes until game time end
This is probably the best place to stop for the night

Oh really.

I was hoping to talk to Vernon about the murder.
I guess he might just shut tight since he might actually be accountable for it.
But at the same time there's got to be a reason the homeless guy directed us to him.

I think I'm taking the murder mystery aspect a bit too seriously.

>Talking to Vernon about anything

Oh, you can ask some questions if you want to
Talking to Dan would advance the story and it'd be awkward for time but if you want to chill with Eddie, feel free

I mean the problem is we set out to determine Higgensworth's murderer and we returned to the camp without actually solving that.

I didn't really mean to start a fight with the mob boss but these things happen!

>>15796
We know more than we did!

No that part was fine.
There wasn't a good resolution to that part that I could think of.
Kirara's deus ex and Vane's ridiculousness helped move things forward.

I wanted to solve things with explosions but that's not a good idea.

Also Eddie fucking rused me I'm going to have Thomas punch him later.

>>15793
I guess I'll try to think up some good questions to ask before things get rolling next week.
Sorry but my brain doesn't seem to be at full speed tonight.

That's fine, I'm on 40+ hours with like whatever

Yeah you should really go to bed nerd.

i will in a few minutes
gotta wait for the fish

I should go to sleep
I have to take someone to work early tomorrow
Then pick them up
Then take them to work
Then pick them up

The dice were very much not on my side tonight.
Nothing went my way.

Wow same

It was a nice mess

I don't think the dice were on any of our sides.
Except Kirara's kind of.
Even the pass roll I made was only a pass because I buffed.

I didn't think Sicily would get a 6 on her attack on Eddie

Oh, I guess ToN did fail his roll to blow me up.
I guess the dice were with me at least on that point.

Thomas would never want to hurt VV you'd've been totally fine

Sicily is going to be around for a while
she's going to make a lot of annoyed faces at you guys

>>15819
When Kirara is saying "I worry" as you're pulling out the explosives, that's a sign!

>>15821
I'm going to be her landlady.

That's not why he was worried, Rika.

I said I worry because I was worried about you Rika

Your brain has been losing it both this session and last session

>>15821
Is she a tribute to Teacup?

>>15824
I had it completely under control.

>>15826
Yeah
You catch on to everything so quickly

>>15828
You had no idea where you were

You thought we were inside a building when we were outside and then thought we were in a bar

>>15829
I was thinking it last week, but getting her name this week really tipped me off.

>>15829
Sometimes the spatial details of things are hard for me.
I thought I was on the sidewalk with Eddie and they were in the bar.
And that we dragged Eddie into there.

Meanwhile ToN is as clueless as a paper bag.

>>15832
We went to his "studio"

>>15832
went from the bar to the art gallery, and then the studio

Oh yeah, I guess it was his studio they were trashing.
Either way, the spatial stuff is confusing sometimes but it worked out in the end.

For such a rich girl VV sure can't pay attention to her surroundings

VV has no need for such things.
