Mirella takes Butch by the hand gently. The poor woman has probably been pretty rattled by the conversation at this point. She smiles fondly at Mr. Lewinsky. 'It's been wonderful meeting you. I do wish you all the best with the... trying to develop blood that can bond.' Mirella stands. Something in her liked the man. She respected him. Not that she would let him know that.

[Aigre Excalibur]

Alright, well that was fun. Let's all take a breather and calm down for a sec. alright so I know that Mr president elect is a bit pissed now but don't worry I have a plan. Tonight we break into the hospital and find whatever we want.

Stop, talk, and dodge whatever attack the goons throw

Trump, out of breath and with his face an even deeper orange than normal, splutters in rage at Sean.  "Why did you hit me me?!  I'm the president, you know!  Are you a secret vampire, one of Crooked Hillary's spies?  Did you make Mirella say those terrible, moronic things?!"

Sean,Trump and the blackshirt secret service all try to take a breather, talk it out, and make up.

While everyone is paying attention to the monkey, time to get us a contingency plan. Take a look at the hospital building and try to figure out where the weakest structural point is, both from the outside and if I can get access inside.

The building is pretty flat and stable. The supporting pillars and columns are along the outside corners, and probably around the lift lobby. You will need to take ALL of them out to collapse the building. And you don't have the ordinance to cut through that much reinforced concrete.

I do wish you all the best with the... trying to develop blood that can bond.' Mirella stands. Something in her liked the man. She respected him. Not that she would let him know that.

Mirella is allowed to leave. She feels like all the staff and nurses are watching her. Otherwise, from what she can see, everything appears to be running like a perfectly normal hospital.

[Aigre Excalibur]

You're right, I'm not a terrorist or a kidnapper.

Let her lead me to the office Zander pray that the principle is a woman. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to turn on the bullshit generator.

You get sent to the reception in the staff area. At least now you're talking to adults. "Good afternoon mister. Welcome to the Martin Luther Junior Interdistrict Elementary school. How may we help you?" The receptionist is a young blond in her 20s with an attractive appearance.

[S34N1C]

"Hello there, miss. I was not expecting such an. . . attractive welcome."

Flirt with the receptionist.

[Sialia]

Mirella leaves. She will make her way to where her teammates no longer are before setting out to search for them, how hard can it be to find a giant orange president?

[MidnightJaguar]

Well, I'm sorry Mr. President elect, I was just so insecure because of the way you wooed everyone in there that I punched you out of jealousy. I'm deeply ashamed it won't happen again.

Talky, keep a straight face.

[Aigre Excalibur]

"Hello there, miss. I was not expecting such an. . . attractive welcome."

Flirt with the receptionist.

The precedence for how to handle seduction is written quite explicitly in World of Darkness...

First we have the Opening Remarks. Rolling presence + Subterfuge against wits + composure

Then we have the wittee Repartee wits + Subterfuge for the attacker against Intelligence + composure

Then the suggestive conversation: Presence + Empathy vs Resolve + Awareness

Nikolai rolls 2 successes on opening remarks against the receptionist's 1 success. *insert cheesy pickup line here*

Then he rolls 2 successes on wittee repartee against 1. Now you have her interest. *insert cheesy compliment*

Substituting his expression skill, since Nikolai has no empathy, he makes a suggestive comment. And scores 1 success. The secretary rolls for her resolve to not run off to sleep with a random stranger and scores 2 successes!

The receptionist is now deeply interested in Nikolai, but doesn't feel the urge to drop everything and get busy in the school closet right now.

Mirella regroups with the team and sees them trying to make up.

[Sialia]

Mirella takes the time to talk to Butch before approaching. She explains that she is not a spai and that by offering to feed intel she may have been able to give false information, thereby furthering the cause.
'You understand why?' Mirella smiles that caring smile at Butch. 'I was only trying to further our cause, not to mention protect us.' Mirella aims, long term, to earn a loyalty from Butch that will hopefully rival the power of her pill. For now she knows the pill holds too much sway over Butch but that doesn't mean she can't make Butch feel cared for. 'I was just trying to protect you, I didn't mean to make you so nervous.'

"Oh, come now мой сладкий, surely you can leave this boring old desk to show me around a bit? I'm sure your boss won't mind."

The Russian translates to 'my sweet'

Spoiler: Why do I bother? (click to show/hide)

The precedence for how to handle seduction is written quite explicitly  in World of Darkness...

But, not very explicitly online.  The l2fury site that you've provided treats seduction as its own skill, while the cheatsheet has a very different system:

Seduction: Presence + Persuasion + equipment or Manipulation + Persuasion + equipment (seducer) versus Wits + Composure + equipment (subject); contested and/or extended action (the extended and contested part of the task requires a number of successes equal to double the seducer's Presence or double the subject's Resolve; one roll equals ten minutes of banter) (p. 84)

This site has a very similar system to what you've used, notably being nearly identical to the system you used when Trump seduced people in the past.  Here's a quote:

Opening Line - Appearance + Subterfuge vs the target’s Wits + 3 for the Difficulty. Each success after the first adds dice to the pool in the next roll.
Witty Exchange - Wits + Subterfuge vs. the target’s Intelligence + 3 for the Difficulty. Each success after the first adds dice to the pool in the next roll.
Conversation - Charisma + Empathy vs the target’s Perception + 3 for the Difficulty.

(The difference is that when you did this, rolls were opposed.  Also, note that Charisma maps to Presence, and Appearance maps to Composure.)

Finally, we have the last system for seduction, the one you listed in the very first post of the first thread:

Seduction (Appearance + Expression), (Manipulation + Empathy/Subterfuge) resisted against (Perception + Intuition), (Wits + Empathy/Subterfuge)

Annoyingly, none of these are the system you just used.  So, a character who was built specifically with seduction in mind, like Nikolai, isn't actually very good at seduction, which apparently uses Presence twice.

*syvarris sighs*

Trump's anger seems to cool slightly.  He is, however, still clearly pissed.  "Uh-huh, most people can handle being around me, they know I'm fair, they can handle me winning.  You're jealous?  So is Crooked Hillary, so are the moron dems, they see how much I win and they get angry, they run attack ads, and now you're acting like them?  Punching me?  I'm a tough guy, I can handle a fight, I win fights all the time, but that hurt, have you ever been punched?  It hurts!"  Trump rubs the side of his armored jaw, with a wounded expression on his face. "You, Barry or Pete or whatever your name is, show him.  Punch him in the face, twice.  Then we're even.  I'm a fair guy, nice and merciful."

Have one of the mooks punch Sean in the face twice.  Leaving his armor on.  After that, we're settled, though Sean's still on Trump's watchlist.

Nikolai tries to seduce the receptionist again.

She smiles sweetly but tells you she has a job to do.

The team mooks draw the line at actually hurting sean. So they look harshly at him instead.

Butch feels calmer and happier now that's Mirella's around.



((Actually, I can't see any of the existing plans working against a fortified vampire infested hospital run by bloodslaves that's minting new bloodslaves and vampire candidates that can also take all the civilians hostage if things go south. So, let's throw a spanner into this.))

A white mist appearts from the west, rolling through the woods, and moving towards the city, fast.

[Egan_BW]

Yeah, gonna go ahead and loose a tnt arrow at that, detonating it in mid air.

[S34N1C]

Nikolai sighs, seeing that this receptionist isn't going along with his plan. He wanted to do this without violence, but she's forcing his hand.

"Well, I must be off, but before I go,"

Nikolai leans across the desk so he can hold both her hands. He looks her in the eyes, smiling pleasantly.

"Listen to me very closely. There is a room in this building that I need to get to. You are going to escort me there. If you refuse, I will find that precious little prefect girl, and rip her head off her shoulders. If you try do run while taking me there, I may do the same to you. Do you understand? You are going to take me where I wish to go."

[syvarris]

What?  The mooks are rebelling?  Leadership them into obeying!  Nobody ignores the Donald!
