It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.

It's a new day. Off we go. Wheeeeeeeee...

[Bodhie Armstrong]

yay!

[CyCo]

Do you want any kind of char profile thread from us? Or do you mind if we post one?

[Charlotte]

I don't need a profile just yet. But I won't say no if you post one publicly.

[Bodhie Armstrong]

I'll post mine after our eruptions. Saves me some editing I suppose

[Charlotte]

People are asking me about the Mathemagician. Here is a brief rundown.

This is the Mathemagician. Officially, he runs all of the Order's sociological and economic policies. He also is rumored to be hooked into every form of networked electronic media on the planet Earth. He shows up in public very rarely and speaks even less often. No one is sure what the Mathemagician's real name, background, or powers are (it is rumored that he can control "raw information," whatever that means.)

[Bodhie Armstrong]

First of all - awesome posts Mike!

I'm really excited about the next step... speaking of which? Did something happen to us? I'm not sure how to go on with my next post.

[Charlotte]

Go on as normal for the next post. It will be pretty obvious once you all have superpowers.

It might be a good idea to set yourself in positions that you want to be in, once the bomb falls.

[Charlotte]

Okay, we're starting to reach the point where people will start crossing paths, so I might have to put a few people on hold while I advance others to an appropriate meeting point.

[Charlotte]

Everyone's paired off now.

I'm going to post only when needed - to adjudicate rolls with NPCs, for example, or to tell you how a power works. Then I'm going to start tying you all together.

Since the prologues are over, I ask that you speak only for yourselves, and don't put words in NPC mouths - as I'm going to try very hard not to put any into yours as well, of course. Also, these are meant to help link the eight of you together, so bear that in mind when assessing reactions to what people say and do.

[Charlotte]

Also: since the prologues are over, I should ask. How is everyone finding the game thus far?

[CyCo]

Loving the heck out of it.

[Adrian Moss]

Loving it too!

Wait, no in the game ...

... but still loving reading it.

... I'll walk away now.

[Sean Cassidy]

I'm with Adrian, great writing, great setting, great characters. Bravo to everyone involved, especially you Mike.

[SalmonMax]

It's great! MOAR!

[Bodhie Armstrong]

I love it, too! I'm dedicated already... no addicted is the better word

btw - Do you want us to up any Characterprofiles? If yes, including sheets, or better without? (I heard rumors about games almost breaking up because the PCs were all over each other how wrong or impossible the other PCs stats were - don't want to cause that here).

Any preference on format?

[Charlotte]

You don't have to put up a sheet but seeing as how I caught an error in one that I let slip by earlier, it might be a good idea for everyone to do so, anyways.

[Bodhie Armstrong]

cool - are you ok with us "stealing" the Harmony City-Format? I think that's a good way to post Character profiles.

[Charlotte]

No problems here.

[IndyPendant]

I'm certainly enjoying myself! I may not be able to keep up with the one-a-day posts, but I'll try.

Mike's already aware, but to let the rest of you know: this Friday (June 26th) I'm going away on sort of two back-to-back vacations for about two weeks. I won't be back until Sunday, July 12th. I won't be completely out of touch during my vacation--but definitely sporadic posts until I return.

I like everyone's chars so far too; I think we'll be able to gel reasonably well as a group.

Hey Bodhie, out of curiousity: You ever read Savage Dragon? And...if Hikari can throw darts of light, then that's it. Mike should never have paired you two up first; now you'll forever be known as Cloak and Dagger to me. ; )

Have fun!

[Bodhie Armstrong]

Hola Indy - unfortunately I haven't. I know it's a green bald guy with a fin on his head and he sometimes wears a police uniform - that's all I know about the Savage Dragon.

Why should I? You made me curious.

[Radiance]

heh it's more like a blast... not a dart but yeah... it is kinda funny

[Charlotte]

Light and dark was an obvious pairing to me. That said, if Radiance winds up wearing a cross-shaped cleavage/navel window I would have to take your point.

Danys like this, I wish I was a comic book geek.

[IndyPendant]

The Savage Dragon's main love interest was Jennifer Murphy ("Smasher"). She is supermodel-gorgeous (of course), blond haired blue eyed and taller than average.

She was in a violently abusive marriage, when one day her husband's assaults just...stopped hurting her. He enjoyed making her suffer though, and when he saw that wasn't happening any more, he changed tactics: he tried to make her suffer by going after their baby.

She didn't realize what had happened to her, and also didn't realize she had become super-strong. When she hit him to stop him hurting their baby, she (quite literally) pulped his head.

I was just struck by the similarities. ; )

[Bodhie Armstrong]

I have no knowledge about the "Savage Dragon" lore but if there are similarities I believe those won't be the only ones. My initial inspiration was Bruce Willis' Character from Unbreakable in regards to the mood of the PC but I think that already has changed and it's just a vague reminder...

Bodhie is a mixture of a lot of ideas and concepts I personally like. I'm glad I have to chance to play her.

[IndyPendant]

And I'm off on my trip! I'll try to check in semi-regularly (and I do think I'll be able to do so)--but no guarantees, unfortunately. Phas: sorry in advance, if I end up slowing us down.

Have fun!

[Logic1]

If you still got room I'd love to play.

[Charlotte]

Unfortunately, I have the opposite of room. Even if people drop out I've got several in the queue. Sorry, Logic1.

[Logic1]

No worries, I'll be around...

[CyCo]

Bodhie/Joani,

Cyan introduced herself as Cyco to you at Rachel's apt.

[Bodhie Armstrong]

oh - I will edit that

[Charlotte]

I'm going to suspend my usual rule of posting once a day until I can get the eight of you together. I apologize for this taking much longer than I had anticipated.

[IndyPendant]

I'm back! Sorry for the slow postings this past week; it turned out the place I was staying had a very...interesting...idea of what "internet available" means.

The vacation was fun overall, at least. Weather didn't cooperate very well, but hey that's life on the west coast of Canada. We still enjoyed ourselves quite a bit. As usual of course, it's good to be back home again.

I should be able to get back to the (nearly) one-a-day posts I was doing before now. And I'll catch up on everything I've missed in the campaign during my trip...

[Charlotte]

Okay, I'm going to give Cyco and the Scarlet Samurai until tomorrow evening to respond to this new information, then we'll proceed into the set piece. Try not to get too far ahead of yourselves 'til then.

[Bodhie Armstrong]

We're posting now in order of initiative?

[Charlotte]

That's correct, yes, since early initiative actions may affect later initiatives.

[CyCo]

Got off my keister and posted.

[The Scarlet Samurai]

I apologize from my vacancy, I had some IRL stuff to deal with and I needed time to decompress.

Mike, please let me know if I am still welcome here, and what my PCs situation is if I am. I'll understand though if I've lost my spot.
