Okay, mone near-death situation for most of the party, Rolf most likely ending up on a terror suspect list and the party being split.

I say that was an awesome session

[KujiUn]

Yes. Yes it was. You know, except for BIKE T_T

[Taricus]

We can rebuild it. Faster, better, STRONGER! And a sidecar

[Weirdsound]

Yeah. That was awesome if short. Can I post my ratting out Rolf monologue here for exp? Or should I wait to RP it out? I did ask to speak with LaRouge alone.

[Dwarmin]

So, we're assuming everyone is going to gang up on Rolf-and to be fair, he deserves it-and Kath will be placed in the role of choosing between him and killing her friends/dying/going to prison? Ah, I guess thats drama for you.

For the record, I'm pretty torn up here over the possible player killing/getting killed by other players and making a new char. This is the first time this sort of thing has happened to me in a RP game. Has anyone dealt with this sort of thing before?

[Taricus]

For the message sent to Larry at last weeks session.

Spoiler: Message: Suspicious group. (click to show/hide)

Larry:

Okay, I might not be able to get a reply soon, if only due to something I'm about to do. I found a group of people that entered. One of them looked familiar, however I can't remember why. So, I have sent an enclosed picture featuring them. I assume you'll be able to figure out whom they are.

And as for what I'm about to do? Well, I've done this so unless one of my teammates turns me in TGAC will have no problems. This building is capable of moving on large industrial treads, and seems to be simple to operate. It may however be damaged by the time you'll be able to send back a reply to me. In any case I suggest you have a few backup plans, as I fear this may cause schisms within the team.

Rolf.

Eh. Even if Kat tries to kill us, Tobias will only use nonlethal force on her. I can't speak for the others though.

[Felius]

If Skadi discovers what happened and don't get a satisfactory explanation, she's going try to kill Rolf. Anyone who tries to get on her way is fair game, but she's just looking to take them out of the fight so she can deal with Rolf, not bothering if they're actually dead or not. Considering that I don't have any AoE and the amount of HP trainers have, it's unlikely that I manage to kill Kath, even assuming I manage to defeat her.

About getting killed by other players, not really happened with me, but I honestly don't see how we can avoid doing something with the character Rolf. What I imagine it would be for the best, is, not take it personally. I don't have anything against you, the player, Dwarmin. My character might have something against yours, but that's restricted to them. You might also take that as an opportunity to get to play another character concept that you're interested in, if it comes to killing.

Taricus, you should probably consider another possible character and/or a through re imagining of Rolf. Honestly speaking, it's pretty frustrating and annoying on a player level to have a character on the group that insists on acting the group, specially when he doesn't have good reason for it. That is, unless this kind of thing was a premise of the game (I'm looking at you Paranoia  )

That all said, I'm willing to find a way of working Skadi onto working with Rolf (assuming he doesn't constantly sabotage the group) after what happened, but she probably will need to be bribed into it. If so is the case, I was hoping to have her rant at Larry that the terms of the contract did not cover working on that kind situation and that the deal needs to be sweetened if he wants her to keep working with him. She could probably be convinced to do so with a promise of it, assuming that Larry actually wants to keep Rolf on the team. On the same venue, she'll be much more tolerant of his actions if it was Larry's plan all along. She'd only rant that she should have been informed, and she does not like to work in the dark, as she can't act in the his best interests if he doesn't know what are they.

[Taricus]

Well, he might get a new history Via Larry making something up.

And Rolf doesn't mind a good spar, even if one side wants to kill him

[Dwarmin]

Pretty much that. I'm not nearly bored with Kath yet, so even if I did perish in honorable combat-or, more likely Kathryn would try to get Rolf to run away with her worse comes to worse-I'd just end up making the same archtype of character, anyway, even with different classes and whatnot.

Can't promise I won't be bitter about getting PK'ed, but I wont take it personally. I'd feel worse about doing it to someone else, actually. Which is why Kath will try to walk the tightrope and mediate the conflict between the man shes growing to love and the people she views as her extended family. Either way, it's bound to very dramatic for character development.

I've made peace with the possibility of all of it, and I'm already drawing up new character ideas just in case like you said. It actually helps alot, emotionally detaching myself from one char and putting myself into the possible next one.

@Weirdsound/Kuji:On that, what is the status of the soldier advanced classes that you guys are working on? I'm interested in playing one next char, but I'd like to see what my options for advancement might be.

...

Anyway!

I have to ask you, Haika, if there is any chance of a bonus session this week, what with DYWBTB on hiatus until Serious gets back, I assume? 

We did leave monday on a half session, because of a brother inviting the GM to a bonfire-I hope that was fun, btw! I don't mind you had to go for that, really.

Finally, the weather is lousy where I live and I cannot do much of anything. I have not seen the sun in three days, and could use some diversion.

[Weirdsound]

The person you want to bug for soldier stuff is RioCadaro on the PTA forums or IRC. I was on the channel almost all weekend and didn't see him once though. We sent him alot of stuff to work with, but he's a busy man.

(Don't push him too hard though. I have selfish reasons for not wanting the advanced classes out until Tobias hits TL10.)

[Haika]

I don't think anyone should be thinking about dropping their characters just yet. Unless you are unhappy with playing them as it is. We need to play things out in character and see how it goes. The only real issue I have with the party split is that half the players are sitting around doing nothing, and I have to switch back and forth all the time.

Do be aware that things have consequences. What you do in character effects what will happen to you in the long run. And when it comes to plot points like this I as a GM have a long memory.

[Dwarmin]

Oh, I give it a year and if Kath keeps out of trouble, I'm sure the heat will die down. Kathryn could probably work a jury pretty effectively too, if it came to that.

Anyway, I'm guessing thats a 'no comment' on bonus session this week lol

...

[Weirdsound]

Alright. Gonna force myself to write up some RP Stuff. All EXP to minun.

Moment of Truth with Randal Goodman:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A Radio Studio in New Haven City, Previous Night:

Randal slowly makes his way up the stairs. Every night the climb became longer and harder to his own bones, but with the increased pain came the increased resolve to entertain his listeners. He didn't know why, ever since he had been given the midnight time-slot he only attracted the tinfoil hat nut-job crowd. He would feed their suspicion and paranoia, and they would call in to keep him company.

The aging man digs around in his pocket as he reaches the top, produces a keychain with several keys and a Pokeball. With a single move he unlocks the door and calls out his co-host; a small bird pokemon with blue wings and a head shaped like a musical note. The bird flies to it's perch near a microphone, lands, and turns to Randal to speak in perfect English. "You think the crazies are still gonna want to talk about that Pichu?"

Randal nods sagely as he switches on the equipment. "I'd be shocked if they let us talk about anything else all night." he pauses briefly as the red 'live' light comes on, and begins his broadcast. "Hello and welcome to the Moment of Truth, the only show on air, web, or TV that discusses the world as it truly is. Our broadcast is beyond the influence of the powers that be, so the truth here is never distorted. I'm your host Randal Goodman and with me as always is the smartest bird in all of Azure, the Chatot Rascal."

"Indeed." the bird admits without a hint of modesty. "Tonight's show will be as amazing as I am intelligent! Now lets get to the news."

The show quickly starts off with a discussion of the recent arson at the fur traders hut. The most prevalent theory in the mainstream media of course is that the attacks were carried out by Team Ember, but of course none of Randal's Listeners would buy that.

"It can't be ember." a regular caller explains. "There were at least three people involved in the crime, and only one of them was wearing much red. Furthermore, they may be crooks, but they are at least decent people. I doubt they would just shake down an old lady."

"Your right on the not beating up old ladies thing." Rascal interrupts "I know a thing or two about how Team Ember operates. They would not do that. You got a better theory?"

"It bet it was the Splicers, hiding their Pokemon features with cloaks, hats, and tattoos. Trying to end the fur trade with their radical Pokemon Rights agenda!"

"You got something against Pokemon Rights?" the Chatot asks coldly.

"Errrmmm... no. Not at all." the caller quickly backpedals. "You are an amazing being Rascal, a true seer of the tru-"

"Oops. I accidentally hit the terminate caller button with my beak. Should we move to the next topic Randal?"

"Yes." The old man responds. "Lets move on to that bitch who constantly has her Aggron breathing down our neck, Sophia Newman."

"Rrrraccccck!" The Chatot exclaims. "They finally doing something about her?"

"Not at all. But another Aggron victim made the headlines. " Randal begins to read the news article, stopping abruptly as he reaches the name of the victim. "A man was admitted to NFC trauma with shrapnel from an exploded Aggron embedded just inches from his heart. 'Last thing I remember was my Pokemon warning me that the thing had a trainer' explained 32 year old victim Tobias Goodm-"

"THEY BLEW UP TOBY! BASTARDS!" The Parrot Pokemon screeches.

"I have no clue what you are talking about." Mr. Goodman explains with a suddenly monotone voice. "That name means nothing to me."

The Chatot nods, it had forgotten how badly Randal hated his son. "Alright boss... try another topic."

"...Right. There is going to be a contest tomorrow. Candice is going to enter. You remember her right?"

"Indeed I do." the parrot half mutters. "As far as I'm concerned she can take all those ribbons and shove them-" rascal finishes his statement by using his incredible vocal range to emulate a censors bleep effect.

"Lets take some more calls." Randal announces. The pair spend the next five minutes weeding out callers wanting to talk about Tobias... or Rascal's humiliating loss at a recent local cool contest. Eventualy one of Randal's 'good' regulars dial in.

"Joel here in Haven, we haven't talked to you in awhile. You are on the air sir."

"Yeah. I was in jail again. Caught me selling blow again. They might put me away for a long time if the damn case ever goes to trial. Just left on bail. You were talking about the contest tomorrow?"

"Yeah I was. They caught you again?" Randal chuckles. "Tomorrow night I'm going to try and connect to dots between the Pokeilluminati and the drug market. You can save your story for then. Whats this about the contests then."

"Well, last time I at the contest hall, I heard from someone who heard from one of those clarriesent folks that the clowns who register contestants are actually military!"

"And you are inclined to believe them?" Rascal asks. "What would the military want with contests?"

"I don't know. I'm half considering just ingoreing the terms of my bail and heading down to the desert for the show tomorrow to get a close look myself." Joel laughs. "The guy who told me reckoned they are making cyborg super soldiers under the stage. They could use a dedicated lab for that though. I'd bet they are just testing expermental drugs and chemicals on the coordinators and their Pokemon."

Randal scratches his head. His listeners would lap the cyborg story right up true or not. "I see. Thanks for talking with me Joel. Next caller is on the air! What do you think? Dose the military have the right to create cyborgs?"

-The final hour and a half of the broadcast consists of several grown men and a Chatot discussing the ethics, weapons systems, and mechanics of Cyborg Super Soldiers.-

[Taricus]

Any chance of a session tonight?
