The FATED #florajojo 3/13/2017

DiscoDude: **---BEGIN SESSION---**
DiscoDude: **Session logging commenced**
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (You guys can see the end of the first half right above here, right?)
Alias: (ye, I think)
Tinncev: (ye)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (I'm gonna rule that this is the same session, so I'm at [O][O][X] FATE.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (With this action, I mean; spending a FATE to guarantee this capture.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: And then Lonely Hearts Club spins its attention around on Alias. "Y-you're dangerous. Too powerful," Pepper says, "I... I need him to get rid of you first! Only then could I have my sweet Pirrue to myself!"
The manacles shoot forward - seemingly dozens and dozens!!
Alias: "Aw shit! I don't want anything to do with these manacles! Let me go!" Alias shouted, exasperated
DetectiveCaillou|GM: But despite his struggles (including a good 3-4 chains beaten back), he too is subjected to the prison inside of Lonely Hearts Club. Pirrue could only watch as the doors on its chest slammed shut again, this time with her on the outside.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Meanwhile, Tinncev rushes into the apartment lobby! (Roll quick!)
Tinncev: !r 4df+2
DiscoDude: <@Tinncev> rolled 4df+2 for 3 [4df = [-][ ][+][+]]
DetectiveCaillou|GM: The receptionist almost stops Tinncev, worried he'd try something similar to what that Aurorian fox pulled, but he went around like a normal person, and was gone before she could say anything. He heads up to find Pirrue in a stare-down with a Commons Fox in her apartment!
Tinncev: "Hold it right there Pepper." He spoke pointing a finger at him, "You're not going anywhere until I get some answers!" His rose eye flared up and it's vines shot out at the Common Fox to restrain them!
Tinncev: !r 4df+2+2 (Quick + Binding Vines)
DiscoDude: <@Tinncev> rolled 4df+2+2 for 5 [4df = [+][-][+][ ]] (Quick + Binding Vines)
Tinncev: He looks <@!Pirrue> as he does this, "Are you okay?"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !roll 4df+5
DiscoDude: <@DetectiveCaillou|GM> rolled 4df+5 for 5 [4df = [-][+][+][-]]
Pirrue: "Not really?" Pirrue says. "That knife...it *came alive!*"
Tinncev: (Can I possibly use the gouged eye avdvantage against him?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Ruling that Stands can only defend against one thing at a time; once per round.)
Tinncev: (ah okay)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (I guess you can use the gouged eye? Not sure how that works in context of his Stand.)
Tinncev: (Maybe no depth perception as it comes at him?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (But it's his Stand, not him, that's... Pirrue, what do you think?)
Pirrue: (whether or not his Stand gives him additional perception, I'd say that's a *distraction*)
Tinncev: (whatever happens to you it happens to the stand)
Pirrue: (...and that's even better)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Alright. Here are the available boosts:)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: BOOSTS:
Alias: *Adrenaline Rush*
VS. Pepper: [Gouged Eye][!]
VS. Pepper: [Focus Problem][!!]
Tinncev: (ooh, one of the Focus Problems!)
Pirrue: (you can use both invokes if you want, don't forget)
Pirrue: (it's a double-invoke from an SWS)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (But then that's just replacing one Invoke with... Well, there's the added effect, too.)
Pirrue: (i mean, if you're shooting for a +4)
Pirrue: (ah, true)
Tinncev: (I only want one, heh)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Alright.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pepper was now focused on Pirrue, to the point that he barely registered Tinncev's entrance until the vines were wrapped around his neck!
Tinncev: (The user)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pepper: "Ah crap! Another one?! Why can't you people leave us in peace?!"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Alias was awake in the round, cemented room. What will he do?
Alias: "The hell is this place?!" Alias shouted, exasperated "Shit! I gotta get out! Uh... Do something! My stand!"
Alias: (Can my stand do something?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (If you need me to come up with ideas for you, just roll Clever. XD)
Alias: (I mean, is my stand inside with Alias?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Yeah.)
Tinncev: (also, if the user or stand are tied up, neither of them can move)
Alias: _Alias' stand looked around the room, his brows furrowed as he tried to locate a door, hatch or lid of some sort_
Tinncev: (That's what I learned from JoJo)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Are you rolling Clever?)
Alias: (Is it just concrete?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Yeah.)
Alias: _Alias' stand, realizing that there is no such thing, instead, decides to smash against one of the walls, with all of his might!_
Alias: ( does this apply? "Angry Young Man gains +2 to Forcefully overcoming barriers.")
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Go for it! It's versus 7, though.)
Alias: (May the dice gods be kind)
Alias: !roll 4df+4+2 (forceful)
DiscoDude: <@Alias> rolled 4df+4+2 for 7 [4df = [-][+][+][ ]] (forceful)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (That's a tie, unless you boost.)
Alias: (Can I invoke [Angry Young Man], which is my trouble aspect? XD)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Depends. Is there nothing else you can use?)
Alias: (Not really, I have [Cool Jacket], [One With The Cool] and, lastly, his high concept, [Budding Merchant])
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (There's boosts and invokes, too.)
Tinncev: (Just use the boost, there are still two invokes there)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: BOOSTS:
VS. Pepper: [Gouged Eye][!]
VS. Pepper: [Focus Problem][!]
VS. Pepper: [Bound By The Neck][!][T]
Alias: (ADRENALINE RUSH, DO!)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (And that's a WC of 3, versus an AC of 2...)
Alias: (Should I use my thing that increases AC?)
Alias: (Wait, nevermind)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (I figured you were already using it for the bonus to your roll, so yes. :3)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: As Pepper tries to regain his composure and pull off the vines, he suddenly doubles over! Everyone could hear a faint *terrrrra!* coming from somewhere close, but muffled. Suddenly, Lonely Hearts Club fidgets a bit before *DUMP!* releasing its captive from his prison before he could do any more damage!
Alias: "Arhg!" Alias exclaimed, as he hit the ground "Th-that's what you get!!!"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: [X][2][3] (X): [Gouged Eye][!] (X): [Busted Innards][!]
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Figured he was overdue for that mandatory consequence. :3)
Alias: (Can I spend a turn to stun him as well? XD)
Alias: (Er)
Alias: (Spend a fate point)
Alias: (To stun him for a turn)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (He's... already bound. XD)
Alias: (Nevermind!)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Alright. Pirrue, Tinncev: So *that* just happened.)
Pirrue: (so Alias just busted his way out of Pepper's Stand's prison, right?)
Alias: (On his own)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Yeah.)
Pirrue: "That's...kind of terrifying."
DetectiveCaillou|GM: What will Pirrue do now?
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Is it alright if we do a "full Stand reveal" *after* the climax of its first battle, a la Stone Free and Kiss?)
Pirrue: (whatever you'd rather do)
Pirrue: While Pepper is clearly still reeling, Pirrue snaps a little. She charges him and aims a fist straight at his eye!
Pirrue: "Take this you freaking ***CREEP!***"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Or you can try to deal the final blow right here with the ten zillion invokes we have. XD)
Pirrue: !roll 4dF+1 (Forceful)
DiscoDude: <@Pirrue> rolled 4dF+1 for -1 [4dF = [-][-][-][+]] (Forceful)
Pirrue: (ha)
Pirrue: (remind me what invokes we have)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Hold on; it might not be noticeable yet, but the full Stand being there to unload the whoop-ass sounds appealing. :3)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (So maybe a mechanical benefit explained in the next panel? :3)
Alias: (If you don't finish him this turn, Alias might be able to deliver his *stolen* raps. Wether this is a upside or a downside... Well, thats up to you)
Pirrue: (whatever you'd rather do)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Okay, so first of all, that was actually +4, not +1.)
Pirrue: (like, Pirrue has no reason to believe her Stand has awakened yet)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Second, let the man defend before lumping in boosts. :3)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !roll 4df+3
DiscoDude: <@DetectiveCaillou|GM> rolled 4df+3 for 4 [4df = [ ][-][+][+]]
DetectiveCaillou|GM: [X][2][3] (X): [Gouged Eye][!] (X): [Busted Innards][!] (<< His current condition.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: BOOSTS:
VS. Pepper: [Focus Problem][!]
VS. Pepper: [Bound By The Neck][!][T]
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Other boosts.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (+8 altogether will result in 2 stress when you factor the net loss from WC vs. AC.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (But of course... If she had a little help from a sudden new friend. :3)
Pirrue: (what the hell, let's do this)
Pirrue: (she's still gonna slug the sucker)
Pirrue: (but let's have the Stand come out)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (So yes or no on the jump from +1 to +4?)
Pirrue: (yes)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Pepper's face lights up for a brief moment when he saw Pirrue approaching him of her own volition. He didn't even notice her winding up for a punch. His smile only faded when the letter opener found his flesh again out of nowhere. As he staggered forward, the other random bits left from when Pirrue was initially captured shot into his side. Now he was buckling over; going full tilt into a collapse-interrupting punch served up fresh from the love of his life!
Pirrue: "Go. To. ***HELL!!!***"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: As one fist was swung, two seemed to connect, and Pepper was sent flying through the glass door leading out onto the balcony; landing with his upper half over the ledge, and his legs buckled on the inside of it; he's unconscious!
Alias: "Alias gon' give it to ya!
Screw wait for you to get-
Wait, he's out?"
Pirrue: _stands there, panting for...well, it WOULD be for exertion, but now it's just habit._
Pirrue: "Don't you...don't you *ever* come back here!" she gasps.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Tinncev & Alias: Standing behind Pirrue - almost positioned *on* her - is something akin to herself, but as a junk sculpture; it has metal buttons for eyes, patch feltwork for skin covering only the limbs, and no mouth. It seems to have metal balls and sockets for joints, and the metallic claws on... its one hand(?) seem to operate by string. The whole thing is mostly a dull silver in coloration, while the cloth bits are blue.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (^Money shot panel right there.^)
Alias: _Alias freezes in place, staring at the figure wide-eyed, while his stand looks at it, with his arms crossed and a placid expression_
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Kind of like the end of this leitmotif: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pqd3ZsuVl60)
Pirrue: _finally turns to face the others._
Pirrue: "...what are *you* two starin' at?"
Tinncev: "I think you have your stand." He points out.
Pirrue: _looks over her shoulder...and her jaw drops._
Alias: _Alias remains immobile, while his own stand up-nods towards what he is seeing_
Pirrue: "Oh. My. *God.*. It's...it's *beautiful!*"
Pirrue: She squeals like a little girl. It's the most excited you two have yet seen her.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Things are getting calmer now, and both Stands seem to retract.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (They're kept out through the will to fight, remember. :3)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (I'd figured that Pirrue (and maybe Alias) wouldn't quite know how to control this just yet.)
Pirrue: _seems a little disappointed as her Stand disappears...but it's hard to put a damper on how she's feeling now._
Pirrue: "*Whoo!* I kicked that guy's *ass!*"
Alias: (What is it called, that thing you do with you hand to make it look like a pistol?)
Pirrue: (finger gun?)
Alias: "So. I would like to stay and talk how you probably are re-thinking my proposal, y'know, but I kinda got to unlock my apartment." Alias says, pointing at Pirrue with a finger gun "It's a long story."
Pirrue: _stares at Alias, still surprised he has the gall to talk business at a time like this...but he does remind her of something important._
Pirrue: She walks over to the unconscious Pepper, grabs him by the collar, and shakes him roughly.
Pirrue: "Hey! Hey, you bastard! What did you do with my masterpiece, huh?"
Alias: _Alias' ears pick up, as he was just about to leave_
DetectiveCaillou|GM: *knock knock* "Hello? Police! We received a call about a home invasion, and... the unlawful holding of a person? Whoever's in there, come out with your hands up!"
Pirrue: *"Cripes,"* Pirrue mutters under her breath with all the inflection of an f-bomb.
Alias: "... Shit... That's what you get when you let people call the popo..." Alias mutters
Alias: "I should have know, goddamnit... Another fucking stupid mistake..."
Alias: (Don't worry, I am not upset. Just Alias is XD)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (I think it was the "locking the dude in your apartment" bit where you messed up, actually. XD)
Pirrue: "Uhh, coming!" Pirrue walks over to the door, dragging Pepper as she goes. "We got the perp right here!"
Alias: "Need help with the dead weight, sunshine?" Alias said- Regretting his words as they left his mouth
Pirrue: _raises a single finger at him. It's her pointer finger, but it's with all the intent of the middle one._
Alias: "Well... Nevermind." Alias says "Also, I think the door is open, you ca just call them in."
Pirrue: (is Pirrue close enough to open the door for the cops?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Yeah.)
Pirrue: _opens the door, and tries to look more like a little girl whose home just got invaded than a freshly-minted supernatural warrior dragging her first takedown._
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (What's her last name?)
Pirrue: (lemme see if I wrote it down anywhere? ^_^; )
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (I'll just make up the parents' names to use here.)
Pirrue: (let's say Tedeschi. That's a band name that caught my eye >_>)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Oh, you're Nanna and Raggi's kid, right?" The cat officer had a bruised cheek and a bloody tissue up his nose. "Oh... I was told about this guy. I *wish* you were the first girl he set his sights on." Pirrue had heard about his past conquests as well. Thankfully(?), all of them moved away before anything bad could happen to them. "Man, Roxanne will be over the moon when she hears my report about how we got him for something more than just restraining order violations."
Alias: _Alias is trying to play it cool_
Alias: _"Oh God, what if she says I was invading as well, ohgodohgodohgod..." Alias whispers to himself_
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "Er... and who are these folks? Were you two the ones that took care of him?"
Pirrue: "...they helped me subdue him. I'm pretty sure one of them put in the call."
Alias: "Uh- Well. Kinda." Alias says, raising a hand
Alias: "It was done with my compact, tho."
Alias: _Alias swallows visibly_
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (No reaction from my end. Not sure what question the officer would ask considering it's for investigative purposes.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Also, Tinncev has been silent.)
Alias: (Alias is just trying to interect with the police the least he can)
Alias: "So... If you'll excuse me, I need to go to my apartment... Need to, y'know, do apartment stuff... Yo..." Alias says, as he tries to slink past the officers
Pirrue: "If you wouldn't mind stepping aside and letting my *friend* through..."
Alias: _Alias' eyes almost beams when Pirrue call's him a "friend", despite the tone she used._
Tinncev: (Sorry, watching some movies with the family)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (I'm thinking we're wrapping up soon anyway, so it's fine.)
Alias: ( <@!DetectiveCaillou|GM> , so? )
Alias: (Is Alias through?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (I'm debating wether to make you roll for it... Yeah, you're free.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Unless <@!Tinncev> stops you, of course. :3)
Alias: _Alias immediatly tries to go as fast as he can- without raising suspiscions, to his apartment_
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (So... Tinncev? Pirrue?)
Pirrue: (yes?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Nothing left to say or do?)
Pirrue: (i was waiting for the cops to wrap up whatever they're doing ^_^; )
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (... Okay.)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Tinncev: "Ah, wait! ... Damn. Tinncev, your friend left before I thought to ask him who he is. Can you answer that?"
Tinncev: "Sure, his name is Alias, that all I know him by."
Pirrue: "...He's a broker," Pirrue says, casually.
Pirrue: (are we)
Pirrue: (uh)
Pirrue: (doing anything else here)
Alias: (I gotta unlock the door?)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (TFW I don't know how to end the scene. >_>;)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: Alias returns home to find a very irate Raggi waiting for him.
Pirrue: (ruh-roh, Raggi XD)
DetectiveCaillou|GM: "I-Is this a kidnapping?"
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (Final lines, folks?)
Pirrue: As soon as the cops can't hear, Pirrue says to Tinncev:
DetectiveCaillou|GM: (I'm thinking I could summarize the aftermath and transition to tomorrow next time.)
Pirrue: "...teach me to use this thing."
Alias: "What?! No! Of course not! In fact, leave my apartment." Alias says, starting to sound as irate as Raggi himself "Also, there's a buncha cops on that apartment, ahve fun."
Tinncev: "All in due time." He spoke, looking at Pirrue.
DetectiveCaillou|GM: And so, another night passes over Mew York, like any other to the casual bystander... But for these three, this night in particular would mark the beginning of a very bizarre adventure!
DetectiveCaillou|GM: So with that, let us...
DetectiveCaillou|GM: !end
