DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Ryusui: You all hear the sound of Milltown long before you reach it. Milltown is the closest thing the Wilderness has to an industrial hub: crowded at the river's edge are its famous water-driven mills, powered by technology brought by Marquisate engineers some decades past, before the Eyrie drove them out and secured total dominion over the clearing.
Ryusui: The circumstances are something of a famous local legend - one fateful day, the Under-Regent in command of the clearing was jumped in broad daylight by a group of assassins yelling "for the Marquise!" at the top of their lungs, who then literally tore the man wing from limb. His lieutenant immediately assumed command, and instituted an immediate and violent purge of all Marquisate elements from Milltown.
Ryusui: The rest, as they say, is history - a history commemorated by the woodcut over the door of the local tavern, "The Regent's Wings," depicting the inciting event in comical fashion.
Ryusui: In the years since, Milltown has been a keystone in Eyrie infrastructure, producing finished goods like lumber, cloth, and paper in vast quantities unlike anywhere else in the Wilderness. The town is always, always busy, and the mills are always looking for workers.
Mitsunari: (No travel mechanics?)
Ryusui: (next time you move to a new clearing 😉 )
Mitsunari: (Got it.)
Ryusui: The workers, in turn, keep an eye over their shoulder, as the Eyrie keeps a careful - some might say downright paranoid - watch for anything that might constitute seditious behavior.
Ryusui: So, Vagabonds, you're all newly arrived in Milltown. What do you do?
Mitsunari: "A bit passe, ain't it?"
Mitsunari is staring up at the morbid tavern sign, before casting a questioning glance to Chell. He's still wearing his pleasant little smile.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "Yet no one really questions it at this point. Except for the occasional paranoid regent." He would push his way into the tavern, probably not having had a proper meal since the start of the mission.
Mitsunari: The fox only licks his nose and follows him in; he's not going to mention how the methods described in the story don't really sound like the Maquisate's MO to him.
Chell: (( sorry, in a middle of a dungeon, I'll be out soon, sorry y'all ))
Ryusui: The inside of the Wings is crowded but clean; this is a tavern for the workers, an eclectic bunch ranging from local denizens to itinerants going where the money is, or at least where the warm meals are. A few servers tend to the tables, but behind the bar is the unquestionable showrunner here: a badger half again as tall as nearly any other denizen present, including yourselves. She casts an eye in your direction as you enter, but says nothing. What now, Vagabonds?
Boozoo: Boozoo stares at the tall badger intently.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: Is still following through on his prior intent, securing a table and food. But also keeping an ear out for anything about smoke on the horizon.
Boozoo: (( do we notice him staring at us? ))
Mitsunari: (Well, with someone capable of putting their Paw On the Pulse AFK right now...)
"Ah, that makes a little more sense." The fellow foreigner approaches the bar. "I love the sign, miss! I always enjoy some good gallows humor."
Ryusui: (her, and i wouldn't mention it if you couldn't see)
Boozoo: (( soo yes ))
Ryusui: The barkeep smiles mirthlessly at you. "Vagabonds, I take it? Not planning on staying around to work the mills?" She says this like it's a fact, rather than a question. "Payment up front, then."
Ryusui: Aulus, a group is leaving one of the tables just as you walk up. One of them bumps you as he passes, and you feel a piece of paper in your hand afterwards.
Chell: (( And back, sorry about that ))
Chell: Chell looks at the barkeep, "We got payment." She says, looking at Aulus who has the coin.
Boozoo: Boozoo just keeps starring intently at her.
Mitsunari: "Got anything exotic? Or just strong's fine." Mitsu slaps down a few good arrowheads he had in his pocket. "That fizzy stuff they enjoy around the Woodlands never really cut it for me."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (already forgot scrip was a dated but still accepted currency right? from who again?)
Ryusui: (it's old Eyrie scrip)
Ryusui: (also, mark 1 depletion, Mitsu~)
Mitsunari: (Yep.)
Chell: (( oh, btw, can I reduce any injury or exhaustion marks? I can't seem to recall if we were able to last session ))
Mitsunari: (And translation; he ain't a beer kind of drinker.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: Would look back "Paying in scrip should be fine right?" Before trying to discreetly read the note, maybe using a menu to hide the fact.
Ryusui: The barkeep glares at you, Mitsu, but raises an eyebrow. She collects your arrowheads and, after a minute or so, returns with a small pewter shotglass full of something dark and slightly viscous, with an intense bouquet.
Chell: (( because having 3 Injury is p bad... ))
Ryusui: "Wildwood sherry," she says. "Made locally by the monks of St. Goodmountain's." She leans in close: "Don't go blathering about it."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (We cleared everything I think.)
Ryusui: (you all cleared 1 injury in transit)
Mitsunari: "Looks heavy. Got any snacks you recommend with this?" He whispers back conspiratorially.
Chell: (( as for exhaustion? still none? ))
Ryusui: (let's say you all cleared all your exhaustion)
Chell: Chell sighs as she looks over at the table and sits down, grabbing a menu, and looking at some cheap, but filling food options.
Ryusui: (who are you talking to, Aulus? the barkeep is nowhere near the tables)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (oh, I though Chell was pointing the barkeep in my direction, I guess on of the waiters then.)
Ryusui: (oh, dang, sorry i missed that)
Ryusui: (sorry i'm trying to catch up with everything, gimme a second)
Ryusui: "We accept old coin for scrap value, yes," the barkeep says.
Ryusui: There's a plate of pickled vegetables that catches your eye. And fried mushrooms. Mostly pub food; the biggest factor in price is quantity.
Ryusui: "Take it straight. You might have thoughts about staying here."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (What about the note?)
Mitsunari: "Gotcha, ehehe~"
Mitsu knows to savor harder stuff, of course, taking a long but shallow sip, holding the glass in a somewhat funny way.
Chell: "Is it possible to go half pickled vegetables and fried mushrooms? I don't want two full servings for myself." Chell asks, leaning back in her chair as she looks at the barkeep.
Boozoo: (( honest, im unsure if im gonna be able to RP, im late with doing college work ))
Mitsunari: (Is it fine if we continue without you (maybe with Boozoo continuing to be in "Stare Mode?"))
Ryusui: "...Does your friend want any?" she says, nodding at Aulus.
Chell: She looks at Aulus and Mitsu, raising a brow, "You want to share pickled vegs and fried shrooms?"
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (I mean, if you aren't done then we can do this later? or Boozoo can quietly have a side adventure and show up later.)
Ryusui: The only indicator of the sender is an elegantly calligraphed "T" on the outside. Inside is a rambling story, an except from a book you recall - mainly because Commander Taenaris had you memorize it. There are key differences between the text of the letter and the story, a form of steganography; you and her are the only ones who would be able to read this message.
Ryusui: In a minute you have it deciphered: "ALLIANCE SYMPATHY SPREADING IN MILLTOWN PLEASE INVESTIGATE"
Ryusui: Give me a might roll.
Mitsunari: (Oh? XD)
Ryusui: (it's strong stuff XD)
Mitsunari: !roll 2d6+2 (MIGHT)
DiscoDude: Mitsunari rolled 2d6+2 for 11 [2d6 = 5, 4]
Mitsunari: (Just straight MIGHT/a custom Move?)
Ryusui: (yeah)
Boozoo: (( sure ))
Ryusui: The barkeep wasn't kidding. Wildwood sherry is some powerful elixir - that tiny sample was a mighty struggle to get through without being knocked on your tail, but it was worth it. Take +1 forward to any social moves for the rest of the session.
Mitsunari: (Noice.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: They probably have a house stew they prepare daily, he would order one bowl of that.
Mitsunari: (I assume that general meals is more of a "one for the whole group" deal?)
Mitsunari: "Whoof! You weren't kidding, ma'am. My compliments!"
Ryusui: (i'm gonna say yes, and that it'll be 1-value for enough food for the lot of you)
Chell: Chell knocks on the table, "Hello? Earth to Mitsu and Aulus? You guys wanna share some food with me or not?"
Ryusui: (do note that yes, that means that tiny sample was pricey XD)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (already ordered.)
Mitsunari: "Oh, sure, sure, I could go for pickles." He turns to the barkeep. "Not that I'm going against your advice, miss, but it probably wouldn't be good to have nothing but a liquid lunch, eh?"
Ryusui: The barkeep nods. "House stew, fried mushrooms, pickled vegetables. A server will be with you shortly." She nods to you, Mitsunari: "You probably ought to join your friends."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Do I need to mark off one scrip then?)
Chell: She rests her hands on the table and waits patiently.
Mitsunari: "Will do! Of course, I bet there's quite a story behind this brew; later, though, later."
Ryusui: (yes, mark off one Wear on the bag, or one depletion; your choice)
Ryusui: The barkeep gives you a wry smirk - you've impressed her, in some fashion - and turns her attention to your lunch.
Mitsunari: Mitsu skirts around to the table, drink in hand.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: would motion to Chell before speaking to Chell in a hushed town. "Could you do me a favor? Try and gauge how people feel about the Alliance." Some how I doubt it would be out of earshot of Mitsunari.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (I just have the image of Mitsunari leaning into eavesdrop rather conspicuously.)
Ryusui: ( Chell, I think Aulus is asking you to use your "Talon on the Pulse" move)
Chell: (( Alrighty ))
Mitsunari: "Oohoo, the plot thickens already?" Mitsunari's foxy nose is stuck into the huddle with them.
Ryusui: (roll with Cunning)
Chell: Chell looks at Mitsu and Aulus and sighs, "Fine, fine."
Mitsunari: (Oh snap, I wrote that before reading Shadow's suggestion. XD)
Chell: (( 2d6, right? ))
Mitsunari: (+CUNNING.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "And hear I though you would be too busy to notice, already deep in a cup."
Chell: !roll 2d6+2
DiscoDude: Chell rolled 2d6+2 for 7 [2d6 = 4, 1]
Chell: (( I can ask 2 things ))
Chell: (( • Who holds power in this clearing?
• Who is the local dissident?
• What are the denizens afraid of?
• What do the denizens hope for? ))
Ryusui: (right, gimme your questions and i'll give you your answers)
Chell: (( Well, I want this to be a team thing ))
Mitsunari: (Isn't there a "What opportunities are there" option, too?)
Chell: (( where they suggest me what I should take ))
Ryusui: (yes, there's one for that too)
Chell: (( I didn't choose that one to be apart of it ))
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Who is the local dissident?maybe that one first.)
Mitsunari: (Yeah, makes sense, considering it's what prompted this.)
Chell: (( maybe what they're afraid of? ))
Chell: (( dissident and fear sounds like a good combo ))
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (I was gonna push of opportunities, if they are making moves they need people, which means discreet jobs for individuals such as us.)
Mitsunari: (Hey, excluding it as an option is Chell's decision.)
Ryusui: Chell, a little eavesdropping and a few casual questions later, and you don't have much of an impression that the Woodland Alliance has any real influence here. However, someone does slip you a pamphlet emblazoned with a bright green leaf emblem. You also overhear a curious conversation:
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Alright.)
Ryusui: "The Under-Regent's talking about keeping an eye out for bandits. Bandits, with all those soldiers he has!" "It's bullshit, is what it is. They're denizens sick of living in fear, sick enough of it they'd go live in the woods than under his thumb." "You thinking of joining them?" "Hell no. I got a bed here. Just keep your head down and you won't have to join them."
Ryusui: (so, in summary, there's no immediate evidence of the Woodland Alliance having any real sympathy here yet, but there does seem to be a group of denizen expatriates living in the woods, possibly as bandits)
Ryusui: (as for the second question, that's still fear, right?)
Chell: (( yea ))
Chell: (( unless everyone thinks vagabond opportunities is better ))
Mitsunari: (Might need to go probing if you want to know what exactly "it" is that those guys are afraid of.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (I was just trying pick the option that get us the most useful info, if you think fear will help, go for it.)
Ryusui: The conversation continues: "The Eyrie's got no real interest in keeping us safe and you know it. They're talking about thieves in the town, breaking into the mills at night and doing who knows what." "The Under-Regent's only interested in keeping himself in control, yeah. Word has it if you so much as breathe a word about the Marquisate around his soldiers they throw you in the gaol and schedule your execution." "-sigh- Does he have any idea who built the damn mills?"
Ryusui: (in short: there are rumors of thieves breaking into the mills, but what people are really afraid of is the Eyrie leadership around here!)
Ryusui: Oh, and don't forget, someone slipped you your own little message.
Chell: She returns back to Aulus and sits down, "Well, we got a trail that may lead us to something, thieves are breaking into mills, maybe those are the people you're looking for?"
Mitsunari: "Oho, what's this? Some light reading." He snatches at the leaf-bound pamphlet Chell is holding. (Up to you if he succeeds.)
Chell: She lets Mitsu take the pamphlet, "Take a read, just don't trash it, could be useful."
Mitsunari: "Hai-hai~"
He ducks his head down to read it all super-super (totally not) sneaky-like.
Ryusui: The pamphlet unfolds to reveal a lengthy diatribe.
A CALL TO ARMS FOR ALL GOOD DENIZENS! The EYRIE seeks your OPPRESSION! The EYRIE seeks your EXPLOITATION! Assist the WOODLAND ALLIANCE in throwing off their YOKE!
Ryusui: This is just the headline. It continues on like this all the way down the page.
Ryusui: What really catches your eye, though, is the style it's presented in. The copy is subliterary, to say the least, but the writing itself is flawless. Like fancy illumination. Someone has pulled out all the stops producing these.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: Is probably enjoying his stew at this point, instead of whatever dusty trail rations he was stuck with for the mission. "I guess she was right to be concerned." Presumably Aulus has a way to send messages back to Tanenaris right? He would also take a chance to glance at just a few lines of the pamphlet before scoffing.
Mitsunari: "Quite the prediction you made, there." Mitsu hands the pamphlet to Aulus. "Makes me wonder how you knew, but only a little; I doubt folks would be talking about this openly. They get top grades for presentation, though."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Also was their biggest fear communicated to us as well?)
Chell: Chell slowly eats her way through some fried mushrooms first, watching the other two talk.
Ryusui: Let's say that if Taenaris needs two-way communication, she can arrange that. For now, it's enough that you fulfill her orders.
Ryusui: (The locals' biggest fear is the Eyrie leadership in charge, who have something of a paranoid streak.)
Mitsunari: (Supposedly.)
Mitsunari: (I'm thinking Mitsu already thinks something stinks about this. XD)
Mitsunari: (He's not concerned, though; more just curious.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: would sigh. "It is gonna kindling for a fire if this continues." The message only said to observe, but if they are putting this much effort into getting the word out, there probably need to be an intervention sooner then later.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "I don't suppose I could convince you to do something wreckless and stupid could I?" He would glance over to Boozoo and the badger for a moment.
Mitsunari: "I think that tracks." The samurai will let the topic of how Aulus knew about this drop for now. "What do you think they're mad about here? Milltown looks peaceful enough from what I've seen."
Mitsunari: (Is Aulus addressing the barkeep?)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (No)
Ryusui: (bear in mind Boozoo has said they will be largely incommunicado this session due to college work)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (I know, I'm not expecting anything, it was just a bit of an aside.)
Mitsunari: (Does Chell have anything to say in response to my (incorrect) assertion?)
Chell: (( whoop, sorry ))
Chell: (( Had to get my dad a Tiktok account... ))
Mitsunari: (Wild.)
Chell: "I mean, anything could look peaceful on the outside, like a serial killer, you never know." She said, moving onto the pickled veggies now.
Mitsunari: (Wait, is she keeping the leader's response to these break-ins a secret?)
Chell: (( Hmm? ))
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (At no point has Chell informed us of the big fear people have, it is almost funny.)
Ryusui: (the Under-Regent hasn't been responding to the rumors of break-ins)
Ryusui: (he's been responding only to phantoms of Marquisate activity)
Mitsunari: (Right, that; still something she hasn't mentioned.)
Ryusui: (anyway Mitsu's right, Chell, you still haven't divulged your findings to the group)
Chell: (( Ah, right, sorry. ))
Ryusui: (IC, at least)
Chell: "...Oh, right, that was vague. Alright, the Regent is worried about the cats." She puts emphasis on that last word, "And whoever might be breaking in could either be cats or somebody else, who knows."
Mitsunari: "Worried, eh? Worried enough that Denizens are feeling some themselves? I get it..." Mitsu nods along. "Lemme guess; there's already been arrests?"
Ryusui: (the convo was vague but you get the impression that anyone the Under-Regent or his men suspect of Marquisate collusion is summarily executed)
Mitsunari: (By the way, does "Under-Regent" simply refer to the Eyrie honcho in this clearing?)
Ryusui: (yes. i wanted to make up a title that sounded important but also kind of jerry-rigged)
Mitsunari: (Got it; wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding you and you were talking about the guy at the very top.)
Ryusui: (like, the Eyrie's political structure keeps changing and titles are often provisional - or provisional titles become permanent XD)
Ryusui: (the Under-Regent is the local leader)
Chell: (( I'm being pulled for groceries, so I'll be on mobile. ))
Aulus Lusius Allectus: would be pretty close to finishing his stew, drinking down what remains of the broth. "Alright, I think I know what we are gonna be doing today. Unless people aren't up for wreckless and stupid. Let just find somewhere more discreet then this first."
Mitsunari: "I have a curiosity that needs sating, I think; something stinks about this inciting incident, I think - it sure doesn't sound like cats' work, I think. Does what you're thinking of help with that?" He crunches a pickle with each "think."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "Probably. You are probably thinking the same thing I am, but I don't want to make assumption. We will follow what we do know, and deal with what it leads us to."
Mitsunari: (It'd be funny if we had different alternate theories, huh? XD)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: would stand motioning the others to follow. "Again, that is a more private discussion, not one for here."(That the Under-Regent is an alliance agent formenting rebellion on purpose?)
Mitsunari: (Ooh, that sounds more like an awkward mish-mash between my two theories. XD)
Mitsunari: "Okay, then~" Mitsu detours at the bar, finishing the last of his drink. "Thanks again for the drink, keep! Say, when did you get that sign? I can't imagine this little ditty being too long ago, huh?" He gestures at the cartoon gore depiction outside.
Ryusui: The barkeep gives you an odd look. She hasn't been able to eavesdrop on your conversation, but she does seem to have some intuition of your interests here. "About ten years ago. I'm not the first owner of this fine establishment, though."
Mitsunari: "Ehehe, I see. Well, I won't keep you any longer, then~ Jaa-ne~!"
He ponders for a moment; how long has it been since the Alliance first appeared, to his knowledge?
Ryusui: The power struggle between the Eyrie and the Marquisate has been ongoing for a few decades now. The Woodland Alliance has made inroads now and again since almost the beginning, but they've yet to secure much of a firm foothold anywhere.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: Then the group, barring Boozoo, are of to find themselves somewhere more discreet then. any preference for set dressing?
Ryusui: There have been periods of relative peace, yielding such things as Milltown - Marquisate technology in Eyrie territory - but they've never lasted long, either.
Ryusui: There are plenty of bustling spots in the clearing to have a discussion where no one is likely to be eavesdropping.
Mitsunari: (So the three all started asserting themselves at around the same time, then?)
Ryusui: (in practice the Marquisate came first, then the modern Eyrie, and then the Alliance, but yes, close enough)
Mitsunari: (Guess there's very little chance of the Alliance not being around for the incident as long as there was an Under-Regent to kill, then.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "Alright, as I see it we have two options, we can canvas every press in Milltown until we turn up something suspect, or we can try and play nice with the alliance and see where the paper trail leads."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "For a lack of manpower, I only really see the latter as effective. Unless we have any other ideas among us."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "Unless someone has few dozen people ready to help, hiding somewhere that is."
Mitsunari: "How about the Under-Regent? If I'm gonna go snooping around the mills for whatever these people won't tell to our faces, I'll need their permission~ The boys in green are more Chell's crowd, anyway, whereas I know a few tricks for the higher and the mightier."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "I was kinda hoping to be discreet until we had something more substantial. Particularly if my concerns are correct. I think the Under-Regent might be colluding with the Alliance, if I'm right and you do that, we will be kicking the hornets nest."
Mitsunari: "Wait, really? I figured it was one or the other, not both. Haha!"
Mitsunari: "Oh, and of course I'm not gonna tell the guy this is why I'm helping them look into the break-ins."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "Then what are you gonna tell him? That we are inspectors, here to make sure everything is compliant to Eyrie standards?"
Ryusui: (PFFF)
Mitsunari: "Well, I'm here to help with those theives they're talking about; obviously! His impetus shall be our impetus."
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Wait just to get it clear, the Under-regent is all about the Marquisate causing trouble, while ignoring the other thieves up to stuff, right?)
Ryusui: (you don't know what the Under-Regent thinks of the thieves, only that his most overt action has been against anyone suspected of Marquisate sympathy)
Ryusui: (the rumors about thieves have nothing to do with the Under-Regent)
Ryusui: (that said)
Mitsunari: (Oh, so "they" aren't the Under-Regent. Got it. XD)
Ryusui: (the convo Chell overheard suggests the mills are very important to the Under-Regent, so he should be interested)
Ryusui: (like if you want the Under-Regent's express permission to go snooping, that might be your in)
Mitsunari: "Think about it; he can't spare the full force of his army, but what about a small task-force led by a dashing and handsome Vagabond?"
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "...I did say and stupid didn't I. Fine ok, but we accept nothing less then an immediate inspection of the mills concerned. We as for permission, but proceed regardless. And we push the angle that we've been hired internally, and that disposing of us would cause more issues than it solves.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "Which won't really be a lie, but I'd like to find proof first at least."
Mitsunari: "Hai-hai~!" He glances around. "Only question is; who goes where? I'd like to head the 'investigation,' and would appreciate you tagging along if you don't want me going alone; I see Chell wanting to meet with the alliance, so the only real alternative to you is..."
Mitsunari: He imagines Boozoo in the twitchy Eyrie leader's court and shudders - a rare sign of weakness for him.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "You already know I'm an ex-eyrie soldier, I'd probably be more useful there then with the alliance."
Mitsunari: "Sounds like a plan~ Chell, what do you think?"
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (I think Chell isn't going to be much help at this point. we might have to just say they're keeping an eye on Boozoo.)
Ryusui: (remember, Chell doesn't respond to pings)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: I'll DM them.
Mitsunari: (I already did.)
Chell: (( ^^^ ))
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (So can we just say Chell decides it would be best for her to watch Boozoo?)
Ryusui: (it's up to you folks)
Ryusui: (if we wanna pause the game with two people down, we can do that, or we can keep running)
Chell: (( I'll be on PC in about 10 or so minutes ))
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Watch Boozoo watch the badge stare back.)
Ryusui: ("You have a very odd little friend here.")
Mitsunari: (We can wait, I think.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Yeah, we can wait a little.)
Chell: (( and back ))
Chell: (( lemme read up ))
Chell: (( Aight ))
Chell: "If you want I can try and string something for the Alliance, get a confirmation of sorts. Key word is try."
Ryusui: (remember that you've found no evidence so far of Alliance sympathy in Milltown besides the pamphlet, and Commander Taeneris's message)
Chell: (( which is why she said try and not will XD ))
Mitsunari: (Whoop, reading comp fail on my part.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "It is what it is. Try to track where the pamphlets back to where they are produced."
Mitsunari: "Ooh, that's a fair point; something does seem odd about that pamphlet. Then again, if there were ever a clearing where those rag-tags could get their hands on one of those fancy new printing presses, it'd be here."
Chell: "Well, if we can find out who the thieves are, and unmask their allegiance, then I think things will go much smoother." She says, looking at the two.
Mitsunari: "Will do!" He does a quick bow to the rabbit.
Aulus Lusius Allectus: "I just want to find them before they find us."
Ryusui: (Chell is a rabbit)
Chell: (( bnuuy ))
Ryusui: (so's Aulus)
Chell: (( wait, Aulus is also a bnuuy? ))
Mitsunari: (I thought Aulus was a birb this whole time?)
Ryusui: (i thought so too, what with that name meaning "owl," but nope!)
Ryusui: (was staring me in the face this whole time)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (I use a roman name generator...)
Mitsunari: (Ah, the chaos that will be incited when we all have different naming schemes for the various factions.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: Would set off for the central Eyrie office for Milltown immediately unless there are any objections.
Chell: (( none here ))
Mitsunari: Mitsunari follows.
Mitsunari: (I'm good. I should wrap this up within a half hour.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Maybe we should just cap it off here then?)
Chell: (( fine with me ))
Ryusui: (if you wish!)
Mitsunari: (Ryusui, assuming you and the others are fine with it, wanna wrap things up with a statement about how Boozoo is still next to Chell? (Or maybe if he isn't?) XD)
Ryusui: (...Yes.)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Boozoo can find his way to us when wokio is ready to go.)
Ryusui: Boozoo remains at the Wings, engaging in a staring contest with the barkeep.
Ryusui: "Very odd little fellow," she murmurs to herself.
Ryusui: (and are we good?)
Mitsunari: (Yeah. XD)
Aulus Lusius Allectus: (Yep)
Chell: (( ye ))
Mitsunari: (I have time for end-of-session stuff, though. :3)
Boozoo: "Shut it Badger! Can't ya see that i am starrin into yer eyes?!"
Ryusui: (then let us...)
Ryusui: !end
DiscoDude: ---END SESSION---
Mitsunari: Pfft.
Ryusui: ...well damn, it imploded this time
Boozoo: i just got out of working the comic
Mitsunari: You may have been absent for most of it, but that last line was on point. XD
Ryusui: i pictured Boozoo with a Scottish accent
Ryusui: RIGHT SO
Ryusui: WHO MARKED DRIVES
Ryusui: (going to guess...nobody XD)
Chell: I mean, we ventured to a new area
Mitsunari: I'm surprised you stopped recording for this.
Chell: and that was one of my drives
Mitsunari: Oh, yeah, does that count? I also have that. XD
Chell: wait. no
Chell: that's not a drive
Chell: is it?
Mitsunari: It is: WANDERLUST.
Chell: ye, that one
Ryusui: well you both have Wanderlust so fuck it, let's call it a drive earned
Ryusui: Aulus still has not technically fulfilled his drive in that he has not actually begun the work towards it
Ryusui: i mean he's going to start
Mitsunari: That'll be the last of the hand-outs, I imagine. XD
Ryusui: but he hasn't risked anything yet
Aulus Lusius Allectus: Yep.
Ryusui: Boozoo, also, no bingus
Mitsunari: Doesn't matter whether the drink counted towards my new Nature, as I had no Exhaustion marked anyway.
Mitsunari: And I don't think we made any moves that'd raise or drop our reputation.
Ryusui: not yet
Mitsunari: Do we move on to deciding what advancements, now?
Ryusui: yep!
Mitsunari: Hmm, I was also shopping around for a new drive in place of Thrills, but I see nothing for solving mysteries or discovering secrets - closest is Discovery, and that's about finding cool spots out in the wilderness - nor was there anything for facing strong opponents.
Mitsunari: But yeah, this advancement is easy: I'll take the Roguish Feats of Sneaking and Hiding.
Ryusui: nice. and you, Chell?
Ryusui: what advancement will you take?
Chell: hmm
Chell: Hide and Pick Lock
Ryusui: badass, more roguish feats
Ryusui: okay then
Ryusui: i'm gonna see if i can like
Ryusui: get this whole thing to log
Ryusui: ending here
Mitsunari: Assuming no Vagabonds want to switch out something?
Chell: yea I'm good
Ryusui: oh shoot i didn't think of that
Aulus Lusius Allectus: I don't have any plans to.
Ryusui: arrite
Ryusui: same for you, Boozoo? no switcheroo this time?
Boozoo: No switch
Ryusui: arrite, then
Ryusui: ending here
