The FATED #florajojo 3/19/2017

DiscoDude: **---BEGIN SESSION---**
DiscoDude: **Session logging commenced**
DetectiveCaillou|GM: So! When we last left our heroes, they had just thwarted a kidnapping attempt on Pirrue by the overbearing Pepper and his chained Stand, Lonely Hearts Club!
DetectiveCaillou|GM: The police were able to take care of him from there, and everyone went to bed feeling satisfied with what they accomplished in that room. Tinncev had hinted at an old woman who taught him how to use his Stand, while the thief and killer are still at large! And now, it is a new morning.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Who ends up reading the morning paper?
Pirrue: (not Pirrue! XD)
Alias: _Alias checks the morning paper while having breakfast, while he still needed to find some means of income, he still had money enough to spend in newspapers. His mind was also on another piece of paper as well, however..._
Alias: (Is it called call card?)
Alias: (Or... business card?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (The latter.)
Alias: _... The business card from Tinncev_
Tinncev: Tinncev reads the newspaper to see the happening.
Pirrue: Pirrue spends her morning trying to figure out how to unlock her Stand's power at will.
Pirrue: She stands in front of the mirror, trying out all kinds of crazy battle poses.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "THEFT OF THE CENTURY!!!"
The main article detailed a report on Hermes's latest escapade, including the murder of the artist. The article goes on to explain how Necropossums work... but you notice there's no mention of the two Gnolls you beat up in the storage rooms.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pirrue thinks she sees herself glow a few times, but she has to end her practice after Nanna comments on her looking silly.
Alias: _Alias sips his cup of coffee "Well, of course they ain't in the papers, got a beating of their lifetimes in the storage 'n shit..."_
Pirrue: Pirrue decides not to mention the more *bizarre* happenings of last night! There's absolutely no way her parents would believe her wild stories of supernatural powers!
Alias: (Bizarre, HAH)
Pirrue: (yes)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Anyways, you guys have any plans?)
Pirrue: Pirrue's plan is to follow the address on Tinncev's card and learn all she can about her new powers from the one and only Stand master she knows.
Pirrue: (never mind she is probably *vastly* overestimating how much Tinncev *actually* knows about the subject!)
Alias: _Alias' plan is to pay a visit to Tinncev, because these things are crazy, and he seems to have answers._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Alias and Pirrue actually bump into each other on their way to Tinncev's office! Understandable, considering they only live a building apart.
Alias: "Oh, G'morning sunshine." Alias say, trying to hasten his pace towards his destination "Don't mind me, just tryin' to go places 'n do stuff."
Pirrue: "Ohhh, you are *lucky* I am in a *good mood.* It's not every day you get to learn superpowers from a *comic book superhero.*"
Alias: "Yeah, you're right, y'know? Who would've thought?" Alias says, paying a little more attention to the interaction with Pirrue now "Like, you're living your life like whatever. Then bam! Super powers! I mean, why us? Am I 'rite?"
Pirrue: Pirrue doesn't respond at first. She gingerly touches the stitched-up scar across her neck. Their circumstances are *nothing* alike.
Pirrue: "...I still don't know what that *dick* Pepper did with my masterpiece. Figuring out these powers...that's the first step going forward."
Alias: "Not to pop your balloon... But I dunno, its not like you, or me... Have powers about finding stuff, get it?" Alias leisurely says, while he walks ownwards.
Alias: "By the way."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Soon, the pair arrive at the building Tinncev's office is located in.
Tinncev: Tinncev gets ready for his daily routine, half expecting someone at least one person to come, he made some coffee and tea ready, as well as water in case one of them didn't like tea or coffee. He got dressed and waited patiently in the dining room as he ate.
Pirrue: "It may not help us *search* directly. But if Pepper sold it to somebody..."
Pirrue: She punches her fist into her hand.
Alias: "Do you know if we're close to here?" Alias says, while he shows to Pirrue Tinncev's business card
Pirrue: "...we can beat them up and get it back."
Alias: (DAMNIT)
Pirrue: "Looks like we're *here.*"
Alias: (iF i REMEMBERED THE BUSINESS CARD THING, I WOULD HAVE DONE THIS ON TIME)
Alias: "Oh. Right." Alias says, looking foward, and pocketing the card
DetectiveCaillou|GM: They take a moment to find the right address inside, and head up the stairs to find his office door.
Pirrue: _knocks._
Pirrue: "Hello?"
Tinncev: You two can hear footsteps come towards the door and Tinncev opens it and waves a hand to let them inside, "I got toast, jam, coffee, and tea, come in and we will discuss the bussiness."
Pirrue: _gives Tinncev a weird smile._
Pirrue: "Who are you, my grandma?" she laughs as she walks inside.
Alias: "I already ate, but thanks homie." Alias says, as he squeezes past him.
Pirrue: "Who are you, my grandma?" she laughs as she walks inside.
Tinncev: Shrugs it off a bit, and closes the door. "Well I was a babysitter once upon a time, before this stand bussiness." He spoke, before clearing the table and let everyone sit down.
Pirrue: _eagerly sits down._
Tinncev: "Well I know Ms. Pirrue wants to more about this stand bussiness, and I think you do too Alias."
Pirrue: "Uh, just 'Pirrue' will do, mister. 'Ms.' makes it sound like you're addressing my mom."
Alias: "You didn't sell us much in any other front, you realize." Alias says, reclining in the chair he just sat down "But yeah, you're right."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Tinncev: While you are by no means ignorant, and you can probably give the basics, you could probably do well in referring them to the one you learned from.)
Pirrue: "So tell me! How do I make the guy come out so I can punch people?"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (This, he knows. :3)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Do you know the Josuke > Koichi crash course? XD)
Pirrue: (regrettably, no ^_^; )
Tinncev: "Will do, Pirrue." He then turns towards them both. "I'm no Master at this thing but I know the basics." He spoke as the vines come out of his rose eye and twirl around their arm. "You must learn how to control your stand, how to pace yourselves, and most importantly..." He spoke as the vine disappear, "How to summon it." He then looks over at you, Alias "Usually when you are in danger, your stand appears to prevent it any damage to you, but really." The vine suddenly reappars and almost strikes Alias, "You have to get the feeling down."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: ("You have to either really want to defend yourself, or really want to beat the shit out of someone." XD)
Tinncev: (P much)
Alias: _Alias' stance appears instantly, to try and parry the vines threatening Alias. But failing, since they didn't actually try to strike Alias_
Pirrue: _stands up._
Pirrue: She pictures Pepper's smug, psychotic face, and recalls the sight of that junk metal arm punching him right in it.
Pirrue: And again. And again. And again.
Pirrue: She visualizes those fists as hard as she can.
Pirrue: How much *damage* she wanted to do to that bastard for what he did. What he got wasn't enough. It wasn't *nearly* enough.
Tinncev: "Don't stress yourself about this, open your eyes, Pirrue." Tinncev spoke.
Pirrue: _looks straight at Tinncev._
Tinncev: A vine flies straight at her face but swerves to the left
Pirrue: _instinctively ducks to the right._
Alias: "Hmmm... I don't think its gonna work twice."
Pirrue: "Yeah, uh...I don't need a Stand to dodge *that*."
Tinncev: "You might need help from the woman I mentioned...She lives quite a ways and I can't stop my case until I run into a dead end." Tinncev hands Pirrue a photo with the woman, and the contact info on the back.
Pirrue: "So wait. Hold on. You're pawning me off? I thought you were some kind of Stand master? Who *is* this old lady, anyway?"
Tinncev: "She is the one who taught **me** how to use my stand."
Pirrue: "...Well, fine. Okay. But you're coming with to introduce us. You're coming too, right, Alias?"
Tinncev: "I'm sorry but I have to find more about this missing women that are disappearing, Alias is for more capable of a figther as me."
Alias: "Wha- me?" Alias looks at Pirrue, surprised at the sudden question "Ah, what the hell..."
Alias: "I ain't got no job to do anyways... Might as well."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (So who is Alias going with?)
Pirrue: "Missing women case? Hang on...didn't the cops say that Pepper jackass was harrassing *multiple* ladies?"
Pirrue: "Could there be a connection there?"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (There's no overlap between the two lists of women, Tinncev.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (... Well, until possibly now, with Pirrue.)
Alias: "Well. I didn't see anyone else inside that little 'cell' he put me in..." Alias comments, off-handedly
Tinncev: "No, Pepper had tried to get at a different set of people, it's just a conindence that you were choosen."
Pirrue: "...all right, then. Well. When I get back, maybe I can use some of my superpowers to help you out, okay?"
Tinncev: "That would be much appreciated." He nods.
Alias: _Alias combs his fur, seemingly unaware of the conversation_
Tinncev: "So it's settled, you and Alias are going to find the woman who taught me how use my stand." He spoke.
Pirrue: "Come on, spaceman," Pirrue says, grabbing Alias's hand in a vicegrip. "We're gonna see a lady about a Stand."
Alias: "Wha- Oo-okay!" Alias replies, startled "Where's this lady anyways?!"
Tinncev: "Their contact info is on the back of the photo I gave to Pirrue, tell them Tinncev sent you."
Alias: "Sure." Alias says, as he moves to set off.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Contact Info: "BABA O., YAGA; 420 Electric Avenue" It depicts a wrinkled old Clover Lamb huddled with a pipe.
Pirrue: "Wonder what the 'O.' stands for," Pirrue mutters as she drags Alias along towards the address.
Alias: "Huh, smoker 'n old, eh? Gonna kick the bucket soon, she will." Alias says, as he lights a cigarrete
Pirrue: _sighs. "Advantage of being postmortem: no danger from secondhand smoke exposure," she mutters._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: So the two set off! In the meantime, what will Tinncev do?
Tinncev: Tinncev gets ready to head off and look for some leads about the missing persons case.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: So Alias and Pirrue have time to talk about everything that's happened (hopefully beyond just "whoa, Stands"). Does Tinncev have any leads in particular he'd like to follow?
Tinncev: (Where is Pepper?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Maybe the police station?)
Tinncev: (Well I think he would ask for an interrogation then)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Alright, Tinncev sets out for the police station.
Pirrue: "So tell me," Pirrue says, nonchalantly. "How'd a 'broker' like you end up with a Stand? If I understood Tinncev properly, a Stand doesn't wake up unless you're about to take some kind of ass-kicking..."
Alias: "Dunno, why do you ask?" Alias deflects the question, before blowing a puff of smoke *away* from Pirrue.
Pirrue: A slightly mean smile crosses Alias's face.
Pirrue: "I'm just curious what kind of trouble you got into to get that Stand of yours."
Alias: "When you're unemployed 'n lookin' for a job, kiddo, you get into all sorts of trouble, I tell ya. Yer lucky you ain't got to look for a job to pay the bills and buy the foods, Y'know?" Alias says, giving Pirrue a sideways glance.
Pirrue: _sighs angrily. "Well, *yeah,* I suppose being *part necropossum* means I don't have to worry about food and shelter and all the things normal people need to *stay alive.* I'll just rot down to the bone, maybe lose a limb or two, until I'm crawling around on my *teeth.*" She says this all like an admonition._
Alias: "That ain't what I meant. You numbskull." Alias says, before inhalling smoke through his cigarrette
Pirrue: _rolls her eyes. "Sorry. This...this just wasn't in the plan, you get it? I thought I'd be at least in my thirties before something like this happened."_
Alias: "Yeah. And I thought I'd have a stable job in my twenties." Alias says, puffing smoke to the side.
Pirrue: "I mean, *look at me.* If I take good care of myself I'll probably outlive *you,* but I'm always gonna look like...like *this.*"
Pirrue: "It's so f...f...*fucking* unfair! I wanna *bash that asshole Pepper's skull in!*"
Alias: "Don't take this the wrong way. But yer don't look too bad." Alias says, turning to Pirrue "Ya'll figure it out."
Pirrue: "Then break his fingers, wrap his arms around his back, *slam his dumbass face against a wall a couple times*..."
Alias: "Okay. Stop, this is getting weird."
Pirrue: _is having a small tantrum as they walk and is only half-paying attention to Alias._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: As Tinncev walks towards the direction of the police station, he notices a cafe. He remembers that this was a place of interest in his Pawe family investigation; the one those goons from the museum were wrapped up in. Will this be the day he steels up his courage to enter?
Tinncev: "..." He decides to enter the cafe, what could go wrong, he thinks to himself.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (BRB)
Alias: (Is it the fabled donut cafe near MYPD? Oh wait, its not near MYPD, nevermind)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Tinncev enters the patio of the Frattellis outdoor cafe and is immediately accosted by aggressively helpful maids. Soon, he is left with a seat at a table near the inside, and a menu. (Roll Clever.)
Tinncev: !roll 4df+3 (Clever)
DiscoDude: <@Tinncev> rolled 4df+3 for 3 [4df = [+][-][ ][ ]] (Clever)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pirrue and Alias soon approach the side of town associated with lowlifes and nobodies. "Electric Avenue" is a misleading name, as the personality of the place seems to be anything but.
Pirrue: "...this place is a *dump.*"
Alias: "Been at worser places, worser times. C'mon, let's get to it." Alias says, taking the lead
Pirrue: _reluctantly lets Alias lead the way the final distance to the address on the photo._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Tinncev lowers his menu and notices a brown-feathered Pyzky sitting at a table near an alley. The Pyzky smokes a cigar down to its tip, then puts it out on her breast and flicks it away nonchalantly before adjusting her fedora. He recognizes her as Jude; suspected of being a recruiter for the Pawe family.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Both teacher-goers; roll clever.)
Alias: (Gotha)
Alias: !roll 4df+3 (clever)
DiscoDude: <@Alias> rolled 4df+3 for 4 [4df = [-][ ][+][+]] (clever)
Alias: ( <@!Pirrue> )
Alias: (You too)
Tinncev: Tinncev approaches the Pzky and confronts them, "I'd like to ask you a few questions."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: The Pyzky seems to ignore him.
Tinncev: _summons his stand in front of her, but doesn't do anything._
Pirrue: !roll 4dF+3 (Clever)
DiscoDude: <@Pirrue> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][ ]] (Clever)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Are ya gonna stand there all flipping day, shrub, or are ya gonna spit it out already, eh?" She seems to speak with a typical suave, mafioso accent. Tinncev thinks it *might* be fake.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Alias seems to notice a colorful, draping storefront that absolutely should *not* be within property code. It seems to be the right place, though. Pirrue sees a wall in that spot.
Tinncev: _sits down with her, stand still active as they then flick a vine and try and topple the fedora over, "Look" he says nonchantly, "I heard you...**hire** employees."_
Alias: "Huh." Alias says "Now that's somethin' alright." He then turns to Pirrue, and points at the storefront with his thumb "Yo, kid, ya seein' this?"
Pirrue: _shakes her head._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Jude snorts. "Can ya get any more subtle, shrub? I don' need to deal with this malarkey today." She makes to stand up and leave. "Come back when ya have some tact, shrub."
Alias: "Bah, nevermind." Alias says, before turning to it "Just follow me" he says, waving a hand to Pirrue, who is probably a few feet behind him. he then walks into the store.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pirrue sees him walk through a wall.
Pirrue: "H-hey! Wait!" Pirrue runs after Alias in a panic, right into what looks *exactly* to her like a solid wall.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pirrue emerges in what seems to be a blanket fort... or more like someone tried to construct a pavilion tent indoors. There's drapes and bead curtains *everywhere*.
Tinncev: "Look." He makea vine wrap around her arm so she would stop moving, "Do your employees happen to see paranomal spirits?" He asks, still calm and cool.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Roll Clever, Tinncev.)
Pirrue: "...wow." She takes a deep whiff.
Tinncev: !roll 4df+3 (Clever)
DiscoDude: <@Tinncev> rolled 4df+3 for 4 [4df = [+][+][ ][-]] (Clever)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Mmm, smell that pot, little Nekopossum.
Pirrue: _waves a hand in front of her nose and coughs reflexively. It probably doesn't affect her, she reflects, but the smell is *strong.*_
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Or Alias recognizes it, anyway.)
Alias: ( The smell? )
Tinncev: (I am the king of average rolls)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Yeah; not sure how the tween/teen would do identifying it.)
Pirrue: (she probably doesn't, but she has a guess)
Pirrue: "Uh...hello? Ms. Baba?"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !roll 4df+1
DiscoDude: <@DetectiveCaillou|GM> rolled 4df+1 for 1 [4df = [-][ ][+][ ]]
Alias: "Hm, someone's been smoking 'da herb, oh yeah..." Alias says, sniffing the wair
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "I have no idea what yer talkin' 'bout, shrub..." Tinncev can see Jude visibly rolling her eyes.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: He didn't even know that was noticeable on Pyzkies. Either way, she isn't taking this seriously.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Hm... Oh, huh? Crap, guests! I mean- Come in! I'm in here!"
Pirrue: "I'm...not even gonna ask for clarification on that one," Pirrue mutters.
Alias: "Hey, ya gonna keep all the pot fer yerself, lady? I hope ya don't mind me askin'." Alias says, as he dwelves deeper into the place, a grin plastered in his face.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Nah, nah!" Alias rounds the corner to see a Clover Lamb standing upright and fumbling with getting out another bong. She's dressed in peace-loving garb, and seems to be in her late forties.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "... Or wait, crap. You probably shouldn't if you're here for the reason I think you are..."
Pirrue: "Oh! Did Tinncev call ahead?" Pirrue says, suddenly finding herself checking whether Ms. Baba even has a phone.
Alias: "What reason, Stands?" Alias asks
Alias: "I mean. I can say that out loud, right?" Alias says, looking to the side
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Tinncev? ... Okay, I guess that sounds like someone she would... Anyways, Stands! Right!"
Pirrue: "Right!" Pirrue says, punching her hand in anticipation.
Pirrue: She bows as respectfully as she knows how. "Please teach me how to summon my Stand at will and use its full power!"
Alias: "Are you sure we can't be high for this?" Alias asks, scratching his chin "Wouldn't that help, Y'know?"
Alias: ( Pirrue and Alias makes a great team )
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Er, I dunno? Probably better safe than sorry. I'm actually kinda new at this..."
Alias: "Wait. What? Are you... Fucking..." Alias says, incredulous
Alias: "IS THERE ANYONE IN THIS WORLD WHO ACTUALLY KNOW SHIT ABOUT STANDS?!" Alias shouts loudly, while his stand roars, just behind him
Pirrue: Pirrue's head is still facing the floor, so neither Alias nor Baba can see her tooth-cracking smile.
Alias: (Can my stand appear while Alias is mad?)
Pirrue: She's subtly happy Alias has vented her frustration for her.
Alias: (Just roaring, behind him?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Oh, no no no! I mean yes! I prolly know way more than any of her normal students ever did! ... Put together! Could you put that thing away?!"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "I'm Riley, by the way. My mom passed like a year ago, sorry... But yeah, I'm sure I can at least help you get the basics down, right?"
Alias: "If I can learn to control-" Alias starts, but then cuts himself
Alias: _Alias leans towards <@!Pirrue>_
Tinncev: (Can I like...bind the Pzky and leave them there?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (You can try.)
Alias: *"Didn't I tell ya?" He whispers, before taking another drag from his cigarrette.*
Tinncev: (+7?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Alias & Pirrue: Spot the music reference. XD)
Pirrue: "Tell me what?" Pirrue whispers back.
Alias: *"About smokin' 'n shit 'n dying 'n..." Alias whispers back, before he suddenly becomes aware of his cigarrette*
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (+4)
Alias: "Nevermind" He says, as he tries to put his cigarrette out.
Pirrue: _rolls her eyes._
Pirrue: She then rights herself.
Tinncev: !roll 4df+4 (BINDING VINES + QUICK)
DiscoDude: <@Tinncev> rolled 4df+4 for 5 [4df = [+][ ][+][-]] (BINDING VINES + QUICK)
Pirrue: "So can you teach us to use our Stands or not?" she says, a bit put out.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !roll 4df+1
DiscoDude: <@DetectiveCaillou|GM> rolled 4df+1 for -2 [4df = [ ][-][-][-]]
DetectiveCaillou|GM: *tsk* "Well if ya wanted my magic carpet ride so *erk* much, why didn't ya say so?" Tinncev could only stare as what seems to be a smooth white glider appears behind the Pyzky. Even still, he had her [In The Ropes][!!].
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pirrue & Alias: "Like I said, I can get you through the basics, and maybe a few tips and tricks. We'll see."
Tinncev: (I'm going to use my Miasma Seeds now)
Pirrue: "...Okay." She takes a deep breath, even though she doesn't need to. "First things first. How do I summon my Stand at will?"
Tinncev: "Hmph, looks like my intuituion was right after all." He spoke before letting the vines disperse their seeds.
Tinncev: !roll 4df+4 (MIASMA SEEDS + CAREFUL)
DiscoDude: <@Tinncev> rolled 4df+4 for 5 [4df = [ ][+][+][-]] (MIASMA SEEDS + CAREFUL)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pirrue: "Well, any idiot can tell you that you just need to really want to defend yourself, or really want to beat the shit out of some poor sap..."
Alias: _At this point, Alias' stand had probably already been retracted._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pirrue: "But that's not completely true; the real trick is with thinking to yourself not 'I *want* to punch this guy' or 'I *want* to see my Stand'..."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pirrue: "But rather, 'I'm *going to* punch this dude'. 'I'm *going to* bring out my Stand'. You can't 'coerce' this shit. You have to *do* or do not. There is no try. Ya get it?"
Alias: "There's no try... Sure..." Alias says, scratching his chin, pretending to understand
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "And you can't just say it, either; you have to really *believe* you can just do this as easily as you'd fall down. Trust me, it gets easier the more you do it."
Pirrue: _shuts her eyes for a moment. "I can do this," she tells herself._
Pirrue: She opens her eyes again and asks, perhaps a bit timidly, "...do you happen to have any training dummies we can use?"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "First of all, stop closing your eyes. It just leaves you vulnerable, and the less effort you believe it takes... well, the less effort it'll take. You just now getting that?"
Alias: _Alias rubs his temple a bit... "Hmmm..." He murmurs to himself "I will eventually do this... I will..."_
Pirrue: "G-got it." Now that she's getting actual instruction, her confidence is being tested.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !roll 4df+1
DiscoDude: <@DetectiveCaillou|GM> rolled 4df+1 for 3 [4df = [ ][+][+][ ]]
Alias: "Wait... What if I just do it?" Alias says to himself, maybe a little bit louder than he should
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Dude, exactly. Mantras are good for tricking yourself into believing shit, but it falls into the same redundant pile as squints McGee over here. I'm serious; try bringing out your Stand, and you'll ideally make it be easy as eating breads. Because it is. You guys were having trouble because you believed that summoning a Stand was something that needed practicing."
Alias: _Alias shrugs, and brings out his stand._
Alias: (... Right?)
Pirrue: _is still fumbling. She can do this...she can do this...she's can do it because she's done it before, right? She struggles for a moment..._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Angry Young Man rises out of Alias, as calm as it's ever been seen.
Pirrue: ...and then thinks, "to hell with this."
Pirrue: And summons her Stand.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: And there comes TITA, idly staring at AYM.
Pirrue: "Ohmygod ohmygod *I did it...*"
Alias: "Of course, having *me* as an example always helps" Alias says, proudly
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Don't be impressed. If you're impressed by this, then it'll be just as hard next time. Seriously, try being super chill and casual next time you try it... But for now... Hm..." She seems to inspect your Stands.
Pirrue: _feels a little nervous, as if she's inspecting her very soul._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Tinncev: *ngh!* The seeds burrow into Jude. "F-fuck! I thought... Well now!" (Roll Quick to defend!)
Alias: (Can I have my stand talk?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (And before you object; it's not Jude herself attacking. :3)
Alias: (Does stands talks, and have personalities?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Oh, but I guess I need to roll her defend against sapping, first...)
Pirrue: (stands don't talk?)
Alias: (That answers my question)
Pirrue: (like, i dunno, except for the usual "oraoraora"-type battle cries XD)
Alias: (Well, it isn't really talking, but gotha)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (They might have the occasional quirks, and some users can talk through their Stands, but not these.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !roll 4df+0
DiscoDude: <@DetectiveCaillou|GM> rolled 4df+0 for -2 [4df = [ ][-][-][ ]]
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (And then the above line plays, and Jude takes a Stress.)
Alias: _Alias squints at the lady, his stand doing the same_
DetectiveCaillou|GM: JUDE: [X][2][3] (2):
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Now roll Quick Defend, <@!Tinncev>!)
Pirrue: "So what next? How do I...tell him what to do?"
Alias: "Pirrue..." Alias says
Alias: "You ain't getting the gist of it..."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Alias & Pirrue: "You don't 'tell' it. You *do* it. Weren't you listening? Anyways, I think these balls must do something..."
Tinncev: !roll 4df+2
DiscoDude: <@Tinncev> rolled 4df+2 for 1 [4df = [ ][ ][-][ ]]
Alias: "Ain't about thinkin', it ain't 'bout trying..." Alias says
Alias: "Ah, you're eying his 'balls', are ya?" Alias says, with a *wide* grin
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !roll 4df+5
DiscoDude: <@DetectiveCaillou|GM> rolled 4df+5 for 4 [4df = [ ][-][-][+]]
Pirrue: "I'm *new* to this whole 'superhero' thing, okay?" Pirrue snaps in frustration. "Until *yesterday* I was a hobbyist clockwork designer!"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (No counter to that, <@!Tinncev>?)
Alias: "Pirrue, sunshine." Alias says, landing a heavy hand on her shoulders "It's just like smokin' pot. *ya gotta go with 'da flow*."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pirrue: "Look, try using your Stand to pick stuff up like you would with your physical body. That should help you get into the mindset of what I mean."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Remember, it's not a servant; it's a *body part*."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (<@!Tinncev>?)
Alias: "So. Lady, in all seriousness, did ya want me to make a *demonstration* of my stand's *balls* in use?" Alias asks, looking over the clover lamb.
Tinncev: (sorry, was eating)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Alias: "Yeah, funny guy. I figured they contained your Stand's ability. Try not to blow up anything important... and try to do it slowly. I need to see this in action."
Pirrue: "Um." Pirrue tries to shut her brain off and just...*act.* She imagines her Stand as an extension of herself, and tries to pick up a pillow without shredding it.
Alias: "Slowly?! Slow ain't my style, lady, but I can try, if you are confident in me." Alias says, before placing a hand on his own chest "I mean, if you are as confident in me as I am, then we're set." he then grinned.
*"Yes, that was a nice save." Alias whispered to himself.*
DetectiveCaillou|GM: TITA bends forward and picks up the pillow. It felt exactly like if Pirrue picked up a pillow in her normal life (but with way less nerve endings, but who cares).
Pirrue: "Okay, *that's* a good start. Uh...again, is there anything around here I can punch without worrying about, y'know, completely destroying it? 'Cause I kinda want to get in some practice punching."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Alrighty, come with me, then, my little dudes." She half danced, half hobbled over to a more open room with wooden boxes, bean bags, and iron plates.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (So no response, <@!Tinncev>?)
Alias: _Alias follows the Clover Lamb Lady, "I ain't so little" he mumbles to himself._
Pirrue: _chuckles and follows along._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Okay, so I think I'll have Crazy Orange dude try out his power on those metal plates, while Junk Sculpture will show that it can punch by destroying boxes, just to start."
Tinncev: (Can I cleverly evade by using my vines to pull stuff down?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Well, I'm only allowing Quick (which you already rolled) since you're evading a surprise attack on the fly.)
Tinncev: (ah okay)
Alias: "Hoho! I will not hold back, then!" Alias says, as his stand prepares to strike the plates with his stand.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (So... Is 3 stress okay, then?)
Alias: _you can almost hear **joy** in Alias' words_
Tinncev: (Can I take a consequence?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Sure.)
Pirrue: "Okay, then!" Pirrue says, assuming a fighting pose.
Pirrue: ***"HORYAAAAA!"***
DetectiveCaillou|GM: It takes a moment for Tinncev to realize that the glider is gone, but then-
Alias: !roll 4df+4 (forceful +outward force)
DiscoDude: <@Alias> rolled 4df+4 for 4 [4df = [-][ ][ ][+]] (forceful +outward force)
Alias: (I really wished to roll a ++++ in this one)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: *SLASH!* There's a sudden spurt of blood coming out of Tinncev's neck as the glider returns to its original position. (Gonna use a FATE point to get a simultaneous action for the user.)
Tinncev: _Shit..._ He thinks to himself as he holds his neck and attempts to apply pressure.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Actually, no, since breaking out of the vines would allow her to act normally, anyway...)
Pirrue: !roll 4dF+4 (Forceful)
DiscoDude: <@Pirrue> rolled 4dF+4 for 6 [4dF = [+][+][-][+]] (Forceful)
Alias: (Bah, I'll beat you <@!Pirrue> , one day!)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: And he now sees that Jude had cut herself free of the vines, and was now sitting on the glider! ({IMPROVISE}: May negate an invoke once per session.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Tinncev's turn.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: TINNCEV: [X][2][3] (X): [Cut Artery][!] (4): (6):
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Toys In The Attic handily dispatches the boxes in front of Pirrue. Meanwhile, Angry Young Man may not have obliterated the plate, but it's beat up beyond belief.
Pirrue: "Woo!"
Pirrue: _fistpumps._
Tinncev: _Son of a bitch..._ He thinks to himself and throws more Miasma Seeds at Jude!
Alias: "Hmmm... I expected to see metal dust in front of me... But oh well..." Alias says, rubbing the back of his neck
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Alias: "I see..." Riley turns to him. "These dents... They're so round, and uniform... Bubbles? No... Air...? I'll figure it out." She turns to Pirrue. "Yeah, your Stand definitely meets the requirements for the classic punching ghost. Why are most Stand users so temperamental? But then..." She brings out her own Stand; a body of whirls, alternating between black and rainbow. "I'm no different. Mind if I hurl something at this thing? I saw a Stand that looked similar, and I have a hunch."
Tinncev: !roll 4df+4 (MIASMA SEEDS + CAREFUL)
DiscoDude: <@Tinncev> rolled 4df+4 for 5 [4df = [-][+][ ][+]] (MIASMA SEEDS + CAREFUL)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Wait, I forget; do those stack?)
Tinncev: (It doesn't say)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (She got rid of the vines, not the seeds.)
Tinncev: (ah well...)
Tinncev: (Can I cleverly attack by bringing down the light fixture on top of them with a vine?)
Pirrue: "G-go ahead...?"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (You're outdoors. XD)
Tinncev: (OH)
Tinncev: (Fuck it, gonna go quick then haha)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (You can roll Quick to get onto Even Flow, too. :3)
Tinncev: (Is that an invoke?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (No. But you can fail.)
Tinncev: (I'd rather just quickly whip my stand at Even Flow haha)
Tinncev: !roll 4df+2 (QUICK)
DiscoDude: <@Tinncev> rolled 4df+2 for 3 [4df = [-][+][ ][+]] (QUICK)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !roll 4df+3
DiscoDude: <@DetectiveCaillou|GM> rolled 4df+3 for 2 [4df = [ ][+][-][-]]
DetectiveCaillou|GM: The glider barely manages to head down the alley (its free one-node retreat movement for its {CUT 'N' RUN} ability) before it grinds to a halt, as vines spurt out and whip out in all directions; the glider is now tied down, with Jude as the lynch pin!
DetectiveCaillou|GM: VS. EVEN FLOW: [Lynch Pinned][!]
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Bleh, I'm getting tired.)
Tinncev: (We can continue tomorrow)
Alias: (It's 1 am here, can I vote we continue this later?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Damn you, normalizing sleep schedule!)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (And yeah, if that's okay with <@!Pirrue>.)
Pirrue: (we can totally call this off for the night, sure)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !end
