Find a hapless male and eat him? I'm not sure. Then get mind control a CCTV operator to find out whos is invading.

You know that humans are native to this city, but that is not the problem.  The problem is that there are several of these creatures that have the potential to detect your presence.  Several of these have special abilities.  This would not suit you at all.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Firstly, find and buy aids to any trivial barrier that may impose itself on me; language, cultural or...those. Things like dictionaries, food and self-study books. Exclude the food if that's another specific action.

Secondly, deliver the letter personally to the Mayor and make note that the other high officials take notice of it.

If action still remains: Send the missive to the local news station, if none of the media have heard from the mayor as seen in the first action given above.

Secondly (and maybe thirdly), find and buy an area wherein the chapterhouse could originate - possibly use my money for supplies such as food, drink and early fortification.

You only have fifty bucks.  Good luck at finding a place to live with that.  You do have enough for about a week's worth of cheap food.  If necessary, you can stretch that to about a months worth of hot dog vendor goods.  Also, by the way, you are going to use your intelligence instead to roll for clarity, otherwise get a wrong order (very common in this nation).  You are Hungarian, and have a thick accent.  Then you will roll for the usual charisma check.  Other more native English speakers don't have this, of course.

We have an OOC thread.  Could you post there or pm me?  If you PM me, I'll have a higher chance of replying, but if it is a game mechanic that is worthy for everyone to hear, I'll post in that thread.

Look for a stash of drugs nearby, and in skin if none is found. Then smell around for blood - rats, humans, anything nearby, especially in the building.

Thanks for translating the cost of US dollars :P

Turn 1

Lanso Hadred

You nonchalantly take to the skies, triggering no alarm, and seeing only one plane go by.  (4)  Unfortunately it is pitch black out and hard to see.  You see some ugly strong men, with four CCTV cameras trained on them.  (1)   You land with quietly on the roof of a building and they don't notice.  (4)  You turn around and find a camera trained right at you, wings and all.  (4)  The camera likes you a lot.  (4)

((Stats don't matter much if you roll a one and make a fool out of yourself.  ))

Jane Love

You go hunting on foot.  You find a business man patrolling the streets.  He is fairly strong.  One CCTV camera on the other side of the street is pointing in the opposite direction.  (3) You charm him, and he does not resist.  You carry him up, unhinge your jaw, much like a snake, and swallow him whole.  Your volume stays constant.  (4) +3 food

You decide to find out where the CCTV cameras are coming from.  You make some headway, and find out they are located in the Police Station from bus stop map.  (3) You are at a bus stop. 

Krakjaw

You put on your cloak.  You look like a brown little red riding-hood, except, your not little, and your a lizard.  (2) You get lost in the sewer on the way up to the city.  (1)   

Donovan Toth

You go to the city hall in really good time.  (5) The people there are very receptive and take your message from you.  (4) The mayor is not in, but he will be taking visitors later at 12:00 pm the next day.  (4)

You go find a newspaper stand and buy a magazine for $5.  Other Items available are: soda $2.00, chewing gum: $0.50, hotdog $2.00, hamburger $4.00, and coffee for $3.00.  You never realized how hungry you were.  The boat food definitely did not fill you.  There are other alternatives to street food though.  For example, right across the street is a corner market.  You could also go to a restaurant, but they are much more expensive at around $30 or $20 for a nice meal, depending on what you order.  (4)

Lenard Dinite

Fun fact.  When a human gets turned into a vampire, he dies.  When he dies, his body is permanently stuck in the form it died.  You must have been some poor wretch.  You were a drug addict, who started to deform.  Eventually you found vampire's blood and took that. Now your a vampire.  Your deformed boy has many pockets.  Due to the drugs you have taken, and your apparent anorexia in your final days of death, you have ended up the sad shape you are.  You died of overdose.  You search for drugs in your folds, to fill the empty void in your heart.  You find that unfortunately, the laws of physics still apply, and anything in there would have fallen out while you were "incapacitated".  You do find a red potion on the ground nearby.  (3)  You go get up.  You are covered in charcoal.  This will raise suspicion of everyone around you.  (1) You go looking for a suitable person to drink blood from.  You get lost, but you did find someone to drink.  (2)  It is a blond woman.  She turns into an alley. You stalk your prey and turn into the alley to run into a pistol and the woman.  She yells a threat.  (2)

It is now about the middle of the night.  What do you do now?

((Because it is the first turn of the game, I decided to go easy on you.  Except if you rolled a one.  Expect bad things to happen if you rolled a one.  ))

(( Your going slightly overboard on the cameras mate. ))

Fly around the area above rooftop level, look for a group of hot girls then follow them home without landing

((I know, but he rolled a 1, seeing as its **California**, expect crazy things, because California is a crazy state, or at least in this alternate world it is.  Don't expect so many in the future though.  Although, do expect firemen or other oppressive conservative references later in the game.  You may want to take over the police station and disable them.  ))

(( Nice plan but I have a better idea for those police that requires them to be functional, but first things first, food.... or sex I guess, lots and lots of sex.... with hot girls, lots of hot girls. ))

((Ah. That makes slightly more sense.  :P Some of this information on vampires would have been useful earlier, as I had a slightly different idea, but that makes it more fun. And we all know the Bay12 motto))

Scowl at lady with gun, and ask her if she knows if that will be enough to kill me. Proceed to attack and feast.
