Kyle takes Japanese animes increasing magicana and charmitude while gaining Kuudere.
Technically Japanese Animes is supposed to be Media Studies, but after a suspicious house fire they were the only things that were left. As such Kyle enjoys spending several hours watching his animes, wondering how he could be so cool yet sweet and caring like Rei...
Joe conducts Wizardly SCIENCE into the power of Psionics.
Joe Bridger conducts Wizardly SCIENCE into Psionics. Of course, as a wizard, he has no psionic powers, but he quickly concocts a spell or two to solve this problem, fooling the equipment in the lab nine times out of nine.
Telepathy, slot 1
+2 to magicana, gain the Probing skill.
Chryssalid communicates telepathically with the alien mother ship, cracking jokes about how goofy Angelo is. His probing remarks and cutting wit earns him mental high-fives from the crew.
Willabella will MUTATE, gaining two Strengthen and Strong Genes. She'll also take spot number five.
Willabella finds a nice, quiet corner of the house to set up a cocoon in, settling in with dreams of body parts and limbs dancing through her head. After several hours she breaks out of her cocoon, looking exactly the same as before but without a genetic predisposition to heart attacks and osteoporosis.
Hang Out, and take Charmitude and Batty.
You abscond from the house with your bag of suspicious plant substance. Thankfully MOTHER has supplied everyone with bus passes and you have memorized the bus schedule frontwards and backwards, so you spend only a few uncomfortable minutes in the sun before reaching the abandoned strip mall. There you hang out with your friends, and try to impress them by turning into a cloud of bats for a lark. Surprisingly enough, it actually works.
L.E.A.H. will be #4 and head to Church to give herself Mental Fortitude.
L.E.A.H. heads to church using the transit system, making it just in time for the morning service. The priest's sermon really speaks to her on a spiritual level, and she'll definitely remember it the next time that horrid eldritch abominations tear their way through the fabric of reality.

The priest
is Presbyterian.
Clair surf internet, learning an art known as Snark. She also finds a site on some anime. It was fairly enjoyable and it gave some ideas on Magic(ana) to Clair
Clair browses some anime websites, getting into arguments with random strangers over which character is cuter and stuff like that. Thanks to these
shitstorms polite conversations, Clair hones her skills in the unholy magic known as snark. Use it well...
As you finish up with your CEAs, you all get a text on your cellular telephones from MOTHER.
"Good afternoon, child. My business meeting will go on longer than anticipated, and I will be unable to return home until dinner. But I have prepared for such an eventually. There are individually wrapped lunches and drinks in the fridge. Please only take the lunches with your name on it.
Additionally we will need lettuce, bread, meat, cheese and blood from a pure-white calf sacrificed at midnight. To foster you own sense of self-worth and confidence, I have left money in the armoury for you to purchase these items. When I return from my business meeting I expect that you will have finished your CEAs for the day, and retrieved these items from the grocery store. If you have then I shall purchase fast foods for you all to enjoy. Otherwise we shall be having casserole for dinner.
Make sure to take a jacket and weapon with you when you go to the store. The weather forecast calls for a high chance of rain and random encounters."With MOTHER's casserole being rather infamous, you all quickly finish up what you're doing, and head home for lunch.
Hamilcar's Grocery After lunch everyone makes their way to Hamilcar's Grocery, the closest grocery store that sells the kind of calf blood that MOTHER likes, at the same time. You estimate that you have 20 turns until the latest possible bus leaves, delaying your CEAs and forcing you to eat some dreaded casserole.
The outside of Hamilcar's Grocery is just like any small grocery store. The front of the building is mostly glass to let in light and display obnoxiously large advertisements. Through the windows you can see inside the store, and the workers and customers moving to and fro. Behind you is the parking lot, though unless you're interested in petty vandalism it has nothing of note.
The local Girl Scout Troop (51
st Fighting Lions) has set up a table beside the entrance and are selling their famous cookies.
List of Areas available to explore:- Entranceway (Unexplored Area)
IMPORTANT STUFF:Still missing character positions for a lot of people, such as GiglameshDespair (Kj was a sneaky bastard and asked for the spot in and edit before you), GUNINANRUNIN, Wwolin (Remutha claimed 5 in his post before yours), Fniff and Scapheap. We can't start until you select a position, guys. Spots 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 are all open. I know I should have caught this earlier, I'm sorry.
GUININANRUNIN also had issues with their action, I've PM'd them about that so just waiting on them.
Since this is our first dungeon, I'll need you guys to post what weapons you're taking with you. Weapons are not unique, so you all could run around with the same weapon if you want to.
I'll post character sheets for the dungeon when the above is resolved, though you can always check the second post for them. Then we can actually start exploring the thing.
As usual, ask questions if you need to, and feel free to RP and junk while you're waiting for me to post the turn.
