"Sorry to dissapoint you, boy, but we've had a problem from before we've met. Now, before we go flinging spells at eachother, can you at the very least tell me why the fuck you're so against going home in the first place?"

"No, because it's none of your goddamn business. Now, how about you fuck off already, and we-"

"Wait, Luz. I think he should know."

"What?" Luz asks incredulously.

"Yeah," Trey nods, closing his eyes solemnly. He then turns to you and breathes in deeply, then exhales. "It's Luz's dad. He... did things to her. Terrible things. Do I need to go into detail?" he asks, scowling at you disgustedly. Luz just gapes at him, looking shocked.

[Pancaek]

"Yes, keep going. I'm trying to be a neutral party here, and depending on what you say next, I may or may not have a problem with saying 'fuck you' to mister Lee."

Say! stealthily look at the girl's face while Trey talks to see if Trey is telling the truth or not!

[Harry Baldman]

"Yes, keep going. I'm trying to be a neutral party here, and depending on what you say next, I may or may not have a problem with saying 'fuck you' to mister Lee."

Trey blinks a few times.

"... all right. Her dad, he's got this... creepy OCD or schizophrenic thing going on. It was all kind of under control back when his wife, you know, Luz's mom, was alive, she made sure he took his meds, kept him under control... but then she died. Cancer or something, I dunno, Luz couldn't tell me much."

"I was pretty young at the time."

"After that, he went off the deep end. Kept pretending she wasn't dead, kept her clothes washed. Was all confused when he came home and dinner wasn't ready. Then Luz grew up a little more, and, you see, thing was, she looked a lot like her mother. So her dad, he... made her wear her mom's clothes. And sleep in his bed. And... you know."

You keep a steady eye on Luz's reactions to the tale, and notice a few things - while she is shocked, it's definitely the 'that's fucked up, man' sort of shock rather than the sort of shock accompanying a dramatic revelation. And you would certainly know the difference between the two from your years of watching late-night reruns of Jerry Springer - while Trey, bless his soul, is trying his very best to sound and look believable, Luz is giving it away pretty clearly. If you were less of a bored insomniac in the old days, they might have fooled you. But this isn't cutting it.

"Well ma'am, you see, it all started this morning when Derek here and me - Roger Egwein at your service, mother superior - were rummaging around this pawn shop for old literature and vintage clothing to sell in our retro fashion start up boutique, and we found... well, we found these two bags full of... mature literature. If you see what I mean. I was somewhat shocked that a Lady of God should display such an interest in it, but then it is kind of bewitching, slightly odd, really. It has caused Derek to drool publicly several times already."

Excellent work on posting the sheet, but, unless you feel it is integral, could you please not choose beige? It's not very fun to work with.

Stats

Also would be handy, yes. In fact, I'll change the character sheet to reflect this.

[darkpaladin109]

Fair enough. Is blue taken already?

[Harry Baldman]

Fair enough. Is blue taken already?

Not as far as I remember - sky blue was taken by Dwarmin, and teal was taken by Pancaek, but blue itself has remained unclaimed.

It takes Larry a bit to realize why Halesey called him Derek.

"Yeah, this sh..tuff is pretty wack.  We're not sure what to do with it, but I take it H..e has a plan."

[Harry Baldman]

Halesey and Larry try to explain themselves. Halesey starts off with a clever barrage of lies.

"Well ma'am, you see, it all started this morning when Derek here and me - Roger Egwein at your service, mother superior - were rummaging around this pawn shop for old literature and vintage clothing to sell in our retro fashion start up boutique, and we found... well, we found these two bags full of... mature literature. If you see what I mean. I was somewhat shocked that a Lady of God should display such an interest in it, but then it is kind of bewitching, slightly odd, really. It has caused Derek to drool publicly several times already."

Though Larry has to have a moment to himself to realize what Halesey is talking about exactly, he concurs nevertheless.

"Yeah, this sh..tuff is pretty wack.  We're not sure what to do with it, but I take it H..e has a plan."

The Prioress doesn't seem very happy about this explanation.

"_{Mature literature...} mature literature!" she says with dramatic incredulity, turning to Sister Greer. "Sister Greer, your continued antics are cause for me to not only doubt your judgment, but your very sanity. With all due respect, what is wrong with you?"

"Prioress, it's not about the content! Well, it is, in a way, but not about the 'mature' part of it. There's something about this 'mature literature', as the two gentlemen put it. It's a little unquantifiable, but it has an air of mystery about it. It touches the mind in strange ways is what I'm trying to say here."

"How 'mature literature'... ugh... 'touches your mind' is not something I would like to find out more about, sister."

"Really, Prioress, just take a look. You'll see."

The Prioress sighs.

"Fine. Show me."

[lawastooshort]

Show her!

"Well, please don't think I did this on purpose ma'am, I'm just trying to make a living is all... Please don't look at the stapled pages, they're extrafilthy..."

[Pancaek]

"A valiant effort, but I can totally see that you're lying your ass off. Now enough of your childish games and just spit out the truth already. You are wasting both of our time. Honestly, what reason could you have to fall back on the 'my daddy hurt me and was a creep' story? That shit is so cliché, dude."

[Toaster]

Larry silently nods.  Nuns always intimidated him a bit.

[darkpaladin109]

I added the stats for my sheet.
