Mr Fox Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 After seeing the expression on James' face the next morning he might take her up on it, but not if he thought it would cause conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 "Smug but wasted"? And this would be a good time to pump James about what was what, I put a post on top of my other post because a few hours later I realized I was being slow and really should ask Fox something.

Courier Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Question about Preston, does he have any aberrations or is that social thing a flaw and not taint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyoseph Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The social thing is the 1 pt version of the flaw "Bad Vibe"It's basically the same feeling you get when you're standing next to a Force Recon Sniper. Someone who has undergone a change upstairs to become a human predator. Their thought processes change, their mannerisms change. Not to the point that they stand out or aren't human, it's subtle. I don't know how to describe it better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 That's pretty good. I've always felt that was a pretty grim flaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyoseph Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Just out of curiosity.... Has anyone here besides me actually stood next to a Force Recon Sniper? Just so I know who actually has a first hand understanding of what I'm talking about here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hard to tell. Not to my knowledge, without the context how would I know? But your reasoning and flaw appear pretty good if that's what you're asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Edited Jillian's character entry slightly with the following: 7 Style Dice against men (i.e. App 4, Style 1, Sexy Merit). She also has 6 dice in Might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyoseph Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 For those of you who are looking for some sort of mechanical representation of Preston's "first impression"-- App 2 (He calls it Rugged)-- Style 3 ("You know what the difference is between you and me? I make this look good")-- Bad Vibe 1 (Human Predator)-- Sexy (Girls like men in uniform...)Total of 6 Style Dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Bad Vibe doesn't take away dice. Bad Vibe grants +1 Diff.That's 5/7 (men/women) with a +1 Diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joani Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Guys, feel free to move the story forward. I'm just sidetracking with Jennifer, since Violet won't come with you unless someone asks her to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 James is under the impression that V isn't functional right now. Not only isn't he going to ask but he's going to make excuses to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joani Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I think its absolutely allright if you go without her since I can spent the meantime with JoAnna and the other leftbehinds at the base. Unless Alex thinks its better to stick together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 JoAnna will get her act together... literally. I guess Fox and James will be gone? Are we leaving right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priest Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Will Fox and James be flying/leaping this time, or will vechiles be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I think we pretty much *have* to take a truck back. There's too much stuff and it's too heavy to just pick up and carry.It's only been like 6 months. In theory we could fly over there with a battery jumper and gas stabilizer and a few tools and fix a cargo truck for the way back. That'd be quickest I think and we could scout out for good roads on the way there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priest Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'm thinking that Priest, who has a semi and has to use the roads, already knows the good roadways and places to stop along the way. His people are pretty nomadic.He also has a female nova named Leo with his team who is an ace mechanic, basically insuring that any truck they find will be able to get their supplies home.

Dan Hawkins Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Ok I managed to have Dan go back to the primary base finally, so what's the score. I'm gathering that he's probably the only one back at the base at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joani Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Well, Jennifer is on her way back to were the other Novas had been. I think they're about to leave for another mission. I'm not sure when, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fox Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Drew, do you want to run the expedition to pick up the military hardware? If not then we can just say it happened and pick up with Ch 2, having jumped the story ahead 2 weeks. Also, if you do run the expedtion, do you want to make that into a new chapter or keep it under ch 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Let's do it and keep it under Ch 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin OOC Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 so just where are you guys? back at the original base (where I had Dan Hawkins return to) or some other one? I've read everything and I must have missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I think the original one... which I also assume has been expanding with more and more people showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 We are back at Fox's base. Currently, we are about to set out on an expedition to pick up a few weapons to better defend the base, and which might be useful if we need them against that group that destroyed the nearby settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yes, it is expanding. We currently have two projects going on. We are building some outer defenses that zombies should not be able to get through and the characters are about to go out on an expedition to acquire some more weapons.After that, we know about a government facility in Virginia that was doing research on 'Portals'. That sounds interesting and they just killed everyone but two survivors at a nearby settlement to prevent them from doing their own research, which has also been said to be research into curing the zombie plague.

Justin OOC Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Ok. Where is Fox at the moment, because Dan's going to go look for him after he showers to report in on the bust on the tip he'd gotten. And pretty much see if there's something else he needs to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Fox is with a loose collection of novas at the moment, organizing that trip to go get more weapons... specifically ground to air stuff. There'll be two crews that go, a flying scout group and a vehicular group. The apparent consensus is that the new gear is too much to fly back.

Dan Hawkins Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Ok even though he can fly, He'd probably go on the ground, to provide security for the convoy. A military issue HumVee should be of help there I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyoseph Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Re: Friday Night FrolicI'm pretty sure Seductive Looks and Appearance Alteration would counteract each other since Seductive Looks changes you to be whatever they want to see, and Appearance Alteration changes you to be whatever you want to be... but whatever, it's your story. Go for broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joani Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thats a good question, Hyo. I always read S-Looks as something more psychological - it makes the other perceive you the way they want you to be. In conjunction with Appearance Alteration you can actually make those changes for real (within the limits of App. Alt. of course).The description is a bit fuzzy imho - and I'm not a native speaker. Anyways - Violet will use whichever enhancement suitable to get what she wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courier Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 OK... I think I'll post something about James going off and coming back a few hours later with a Striper Bar and a Jukebox.A question about the setting: Every now and then someone posts something about exterminating all the zombies in an area. Too what extent is that possible?I mean, any local area that has any development is also going to have hundreds of thousands of zombies (or even a lot more). 1000 boxes of ammo, where each box has 20 bullets, doesn't even put a dent in that but it's probably a lot more than the typical gun store has.
