The Citadel of Justice

allichaton: Thursday I don't get out of class until 6:30 EST, but I'm good after that.
allichaton: well, I might be able to be here earlier if he lets us out early. But I should be here by 6:45-ish at the latest.
LadyMWZip: kk
Its Your Squishy: So, 7 then?
mistressnonny: works :)
nolenteovolente: *nods*
LadyMWZip: score! ^^ seven on Thursday it is!

---

It's now 9:30pm EST on Thursday.
Nonny was late due to a power outage. Alli had her own technical issues and just got on. Zippy was away but got back after a while.
Kas isn't even online, and hasn't been all day.

So guys... what are we gonna do? Are we playing or not?
When?

Also, Zippy is considering dropping out due to being overbooked with Life recently... mrr...

So, in an effort to "Know thy enemy", you decide to go for a good old fashioned Stakeout.

Arriving in the area, Kerith and Alina settle in to watch the building, while Amate and Rylie make like hookers and stroll.

The building is locked up. No windows, so you can't see in, but that's normal with warehouses. There's a sign on the door that says "C&T Imports is closed From March 17 until March 31 for personal reasons. Please direct all inquiries to 604.778-8309." It's March 24 now.

Without physically breaking in, nothing more can be gleaned. One odd thing stands out though - there is a decent amount of garbage in the dumpster.

Rylie manages to get more than a few offers from passerby, but turns them down with disgust. Amate has a bit more luck though. Asking another hooker in the area about the warehouse, she is told that a truck pulls in there every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. There was one last night (Thursday). They usually arrive between 11pm and 1am.

Once midnight rolls around, you all meet up again and share what you've learned (see above). Converse amongst yourselves.

Um. When are we gaming next? This Saturday, or?

[00:03] the Squishy: The kitty may be warndering in the dreamworld, but she's also missed gaming night, and the others are a mite put out
[00:03] *** Auto-response sent to the Squishy: The kitty has gone wandering in the dreamworld... if you want, you can go looking for her, but you may not have much luck.
[00:03] the Squishy: She also didn't answer her phone :p
[03:41] mistressnonny: oh. god.
[03:41] mistressnonny: i'm sorry
[03:41] the Squishy: A few simple questions
[03:41] the Squishy: Sleeping, yes?
[03:41] mistressnonny: i completely forgot. yes.
[03:41] the Squishy: Sick?
[03:42] mistressnonny: cross between trying not to come down with something and meds keeping me asleep longer than they should have >_<
[03:42] the Squishy: Sorry?
[03:43] mistressnonny: yes. i really, really did not mean to sleep that long. meer.
[03:43] the Squishy: Tomorrow, 9-12?
[03:43] mistressnonny: works.
[03:44] mistressnonny: i must have been pretty damn out of it not to hear the phone... because the damn thing *always* wakes me up. :(
[03:45] the Squishy: I hereby prounounce you "Stoned out of your gourd"
You are thusly sentenced to: One IRL week of Alina toning down the attitude at least 75%, in the interests of not causing fights with the cat
[03:46] the Squishy: *slams gavel* You can see the bailiff on your way out.
And this concludes tonight's session of The GM's Court
[03:46] mistressnonny: (alli and i actually did a private convo with the two of them... um. which i think we both completely forgot to post.)
[03:46] the Squishy: Well, now's a good time to, eh?
[03:50] mistressnonny: yeah, i just have to find it.

So, um, more apologies, and the convo:

3 nights in the hypno-trainers... aiya! I mean, there's the whole "I know kung fu in the Matrix" thing, and then there's waking up, climbing out of the trainer and just KNOWING you can shoot a gun. Even though you've never handled one before.

It's outright FREAKY when you go to the shooting range in the gym, pick up a .45, and proceed to automatically field strip, clean, reassemble and reload it... without thinking.

Lets not get into your accuracy... nor the fencing. Suffice to say that you don't just feel, but you KNOW that you have years of combat experience now. Even scarier is the confidence you have in your ability, it's almost uncanny.

Giddy with your newfound skills, you immediately raid the armory, looking for "toys" as ALL of you seem to refer to them as. Which is disturbing in and of itself.

And goodies you find. I went over them in a previous post. You even find your special, signature weapons and armor.

Having loaded yourselves for bear, and spent a day playing with all your new toys, you reassemble in the briefing room, to go over your plans.

C&T Imports is a small warehouse located downtown. A bit of research brings you the blueprints of the place... although what with it being a warehouse, they don't tell you much. It's 2 floors high but the only interior part with 2 floors is the recieving office - above it is the washroom and lunch room. The main warehouse floor area is simply open, and very high ceilinged.

So... time to formulate your battle plans and all that shiznit.

Now, here is something I was telling Alli last night about the game, and it's something you all should know :)

This game has no plot. No direction. No final outcome. Nada.
You've finished absolutely everything that is plotted/scripted/required by the story/etc already.

Whatever path you decide to investigate, wherever you happen to go... there will always be SOMETHING to do there.
Maybe not what you were after... or expected... but there will be something. There are no wrong choices or directions.
It's a big world, with many bad guys. Do something with it :)

This game is what you make of it. You come up with your own plots and directions, and see what happens.

Responses to this post should be In Character. Anything you need to ask me about this stuff can be asked OOC, flagged with the usual (( )).

This is the longest post I expect I'll ever make, that isn't a log. I spent over 3 hours putting this together... aiya.
But now you have more hooks than a fishing derby to bite at. Not all of them are obvious.

So get biting... IC. You can take any of these things mentioned, or come up with something completely unrelated to anything I mentioned and follow that.
It's all up to you.

And finally, the preludes come to an end.

Now, it wouldn't be a modern high tech superhero group if there weren't any nifty GADGETS laying around to use and abuse!

You guys have to sort out who gets what!
(And you have to do it in-character!
Am I an evil GM? Why yes, yes I am...)

To round things out...

( Collapse )

Once you get time, you'll be able to visit the Armory and root through for interesting equipment.

Coincidentally, you all will just happen to find a weapon and piece of armor that you REALLY like and claim as your own.

Gamewise, you get to design the toys yourself :)

I'm posting this now simply to get it out of the way in advance.

I can handle Rithy's toys... the same ones as before :)

( Collapse )

These will basically be your "signature items". Any questions?
