PingYu: Good.
BruceWayne [chatzilla@hide-5395CC50.cm.sunflower.com] entered the room.
Dpayne: Chapter 1 "A horrible night to have a curse."
Dpayne: When I'm done describing shit or finished giving information or dialog I will say Over.
Dpayne: You should do the same.
PingYu: Ok. I need to roll my blood pool, though.
PingYu: Willpower starts at max?
Dpayne: Yes
PingYu: roll 1d14
dicebot: PingYu rolled 1d14 --> [ 1d14=14 ]{14}
PingYu: Booyeah!
PingYu: Ok, I'm ready.
Dpayne: Chapter 1 "A horrible night to have a curse."
Dpayne: o "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Chinatown.
Dpayne: You awaken in a dank basement apartment sparsely furnished other than a bed, a nightstand and a small television.
Dpayne: Upstairs is a bustling Chinese restaurant Asian Express where you sometimes fill in as a waitress when your gambling earnings are insufficient.
Dpayne: As you awaken you notice bloody footprints leading from the door to the nightstand. On the nightstand is a gun, and a note.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'm assuming that I was lying in the bed, then?
Dpayne: Yes
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'm going to look at the footprints, first. Can I smell the blood?
PingYu: Is it human?
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: Roll Perception + Investigation.
dicebot: Dpayne rolled Perception + Investigation. --> error: malformed expression
Dpayne: Difficulty 5.
PingYu: roll 2#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 2#d10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}
Dpayne: It's hard to tell, it seems to be blood from multiple victims. Some of it might be supernatural, most of it is human.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'm going to read the note.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: ?If you want to make it out of this alive then take the gun and go to the Laundromat on Mandarin st. Don't delay or you'll just make things worse. This note is your ticket in. So don't forget it either."
Dpayne: As you finish reading the note the text disappears off the card.
Dpayne: Over.
Dpayne: Roll Perception + Investigation Difficulty 6.
dicebot: Dpayne rolled Perception + Investigation Difficulty 6. --> error: malformed expression
PingYu: roll 2#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 2#d10 --> [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
Dpayne: You notice that "take the gun and" is written in slightly different handwriting.
Dpayne: Before it disappears.
PingYu: Interesting.
Dpayne: Bleh sorry.
PingYu: So the note was written by two different vampires that are both familiar with Chimerstry.
Dpayne: Roll Intelligence + Occult difficulty 7.
dicebot: Dpayne rolled Intelligence + Occult difficulty 7. --> error: malformed expression
PingYu: Is there a clock? Is it night?

PingYu: roll 4#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 4#d10 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
Dpayne: You notice all sorts of oddities about the card the text was on. Chimerstry may have been used, but you think other supernatural powers were also used.
PingYu: I see.
Dpayne: On top of the television is a small digital alarm clock.
Dpayne: It is 7pm.
Dpayne: It's winter so nights start around 5 pm.
Dpayne: Which means you slept in about 2 hours for some reason.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'm going to make sure that I'm wearing something that I can easily conceal the gun in, should I need to do so.
PingYu: I don't know whether I should be aligning myself with the original writer or the person who wrote the revision, and I want to keep my options open. And then I'll put on a coat and head over to the laundromat.
PingYu: Over
PingYu: Actually, if that's far I'll take my motorcycle, over.
Dpayne: Among your small batch of modest clothing you find a winter coat with several inside pockets.
Dpayne: Also you are familiar with the laundromat the note speaks of the Panda Dry Cleaner Supreme.
PingYu: Yes, that's perfect. Also my wallet and the stuff I listed as gear.
Dpayne: It is about 5 minutes away.
PingYu: By foot or by car?
Dpayne: By foot.
PingYu: I'll walk, then.
Dpayne: You grab your things and put them in your pockets.
Dpayne: I'm sorry I didn't notice.
Dpayne: Did you grab the gun?
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Yes, and put that in a pocket.
PingYu: So that it's not visible.
PingYu: It's some sort of handgun?
Dpayne: As you pick up the gun roll Int + Firearms.
Dpayne: Difficulty 6.
PingYu: roll 4#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 4#d10 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}
PingYu: My luck is being insane.
Dpayne: You notice that while the clip is full the gun has been recently fired.
Dpayne: Several times.
Jason: Dicebot is a CHEAT.
Dpayne: Also in your investigation you amazingly notice how highly modified this 9mm pistol is.
Dpayne: It's been upgraded with a kit to fire in 3 round bursts or single shot.
Dpayne: And the gun frame has been modified to cut down on recoil improve firing accuracy.
Dpayne: The type of modifications an assassin might make to a gun.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Well, I'll take it all and head to the laundromat by foot.
PingYu: On the way I want to keep an eye out for anyone that may be tailing me.
Dpayne: As you leave your apartment and head up the stairs you notice the bloody footprints lead to the restaurant.
PingYu: OH
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: There's a door to the restaurant? Can I listen in?
PingYu: Over
Dpayne: Roll Perception + Alertness difficulty 4.
dicebot: Dpayne rolled Perception + Alertness difficulty 4. --> error: malformed expression
PingYu: roll 3#10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 3#10 --> {10}, {10}, {10}
PingYu: What the fuck?
Dpayne: Jesus
PingYu: That's not even the right format for the roll.
PingYu: Oh
PingYu: I didn't do d10
PingYu: roll 3#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 3#d10 --> [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
Dpayne: You don't think you can hear anything.
Dpayne: But you can't be sure.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Ok, I'll barge in.
PingYu: Over
Dpayne: As you bust open the door...
Dpayne: You see the normally bustling Chinese restaurant looks as if it has been turned into a warzone.
Dpayne: The aftermath of a warzone.
Dpayne: Sorry
Dpayne: Lights flicker and bulletholes litter everything from tables to chairs to the koi fish that now lie on the ground from the shattered fish tank. There are several large blood stains but no bodies.
Dpayne: Roll Perception + Alertness difficulty (6).
dicebot: Dpayne rolled Perception + Alertness difficulty (6). --> error: malformed expression

PingYu: roll 3#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 3#d10 --> [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}
Dpayne: You fail to notice anything of note from a first glance around the room. The amound of blood is a little staggering even for someone as cold as you.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: So some asshole came to the restaurant I work at, killed a bunch of people and then delivered some demand to me in my apartment.
PingYu: And now my whole cover is blown, and I'll probably have to find a new place to live among other things.
PingYu: I'll check for survivors.
PingYu: It's a good thing I'm fully saited.
PingYu: Over.
PingYu: (In the kitchen and corners and shit)
PingYu: Over
Dpayne: Roll Intelligence+Investigation difficulty 4.
dicebot: Dpayne rolled Intelligence+Investigation difficulty 4. --> error: malformed expression
PingYu: roll 3#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 3#d10 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}
Dpayne: And roll Perception+Alertness Difficulty 5.
PingYu: roll 3#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 3#d10 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}
Dpayne: Okay in response to the first roll.
Dpayne: Clear deductive reasoning leads you to believe that from the lack of bodies and people in the immediate vicinity they must have been moved.
Dpayne: Now from the second roll.
Dpayne: Searching around the place turns up no survivors. However, a second closer look reveals a small hidden blood trail that wasn't quite cleaned away leading out the front door.
PingYu: Are the Koi all dead?
Dpayne: Additionally under one of the wrecked tabled you find a strange ring with an insignia.
Dpayne: Yes the koi are all dead.
Dpayne: Over.
Dpayne: tables not tabled
Dpayne: But still Over.
PingYu: I'll take the ring. Is there an alternative exit? I'd rather not be seen leaving by the front door.
PingYu: I can circle around from the front if I need to.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: There is a back exit you usually take to avoid leaving through the restaurant.
Dpayne: It's where you park your motorcycle.
Dpayne: You pocket the ring.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'll go out back, and circle in front to see if I can casually spot anything in front of the restaurant. Over.
Dpayne: As you move around font to the street you notice the normally bustling chinatown streets are empty.
Dpayne: Almost as if some sort of apocalypse had hit just your block you can spot far off into the distance the normal bustle on another street.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'm going to walk over to the laundromat, now. Over.
Dpayne: You make your way out of the "dead zone" and into the bustle.
Dpayne: You sift and manuever your way through the massive crowd of shoppers tourists and ne'erdowells.
Dpayne: Or however you spell that word.
Dpayne: You come to the laundromat a rather friendly place.
Dpayne: You vaguely recall using it once when you lived in another part of town.
Dpayne: Or maybe you hid here from angry gambling competitors.
Dpayne: It's a blur.
Dpayne: You stand outside the exit.
Dpayne: Over.
Dpayne: Or entrance.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Is there anything odd about the landromat as seen from the outside?
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: Roll Perception + linguistics difficulty (8)
dicebot: Dpayne rolled Perception + linguistics difficulty (8) --> error: malformed expression
Dpayne: No wait
Dpayne: Intelligence + Linguistics.
PingYu: Let me know if I'm asking too much and it's stuff that you'd volunteer or whatever.
Dpayne: Go ahead and roll.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: roll 5#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}
Dpayne: You notice nothing unusual about the Mandarin writing on the sign.
PingYu: It was pretty foolish of me to come to a laundromat without bringing laundry with me.
Dpayne: In fact you misread it initially and have to correct yourself out of embarassment.
Dpayne: Lose a willpower point.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Shit
PingYu: I'm just going to enter and get this over with.
Dpayne: You enter and notice a friendly old chinese man with a long white beard in traditional Chinese garb.
PingYu: Over
Dpayne: Somewhat dated and out of place for this time period.
Dpayne: He smiles as he stands behind the counter manning the laundry.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'll pull out the note and hand it to him.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: He looks at the blank piece of note and shrugs and laughs.
Dpayne: Over.
Dpayne: piece of note paper.
PingYu: He's the only one in here?
Dpayne: Yes.
Dpayne: You get the feeling the note is the key.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Hmmm
PingYu: The note is written on some ordinary paper?
Dpayne: Yes.
Dpayne: It was.
Dpayne: You remember the note exactly as it was.
Dpayne: As you look at the blank notepaper.
PingYu: It's my ticket in.
PingYu: I had thought maybe it was a ticket for some laundry.
Dpayne: The old man looks at you as you say that and says.
Dpayne: "Ticket, do you have a ticket?"
Dpayne: over.
Dpayne: You get the feeling the old man might need to see something.
PingYu: Can I look at the old man in order to see if he may be a vampire?
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: Roll Perception+Intelligence.
dicebot: Dpayne rolled Perception+Intelligence. --> error: malformed expression
Dpayne: Difficulty 6
PingYu: roll 5#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
Dpayne: The old man is clearly human, but somehow you pierce a little deeper and notice that this man has a familiarity with the supernatural
Dpayne: You might be looking at a ghoul.
Dpayne: Or a servant for some other supernatural force.
Dpayne: But still he continues smiling and starts humming and cleaning the counter.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: "Is the note not a sufficient ticket?"
PingYu: Over
Dpayne: He speaks in a rather honorific laden mandarin.
Dpayne: "Well, miss. I sometimes give a note. But that's just a blank piece of paper.
Dpayne: I always write something on my note paper tickets.
Dpayne: When I do give them out."
Dpayne: He smiles again.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Uggh
PingYu: Ok. I'm going to use Chimerstry to rewrite the original note with the originally handwriting (without the gun thing) onto the paper.
PingYu: "Perhaps you should check again."
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: Okay so you spend a willpower point and effortlessly create the note minus the addition.
PingYu: Yes.
Dpayne: He once again looks at the paper.
Dpayne: Suddenly the man looks as if he's ill.
Dpayne: However it soon becomes obvious that it's terror.
Dpayne: The man now shaking wildly with horror bids you to follow him and walks through a door behind the counter.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'll follow.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: He leads you down a set a stairs.
Dpayne: Initially they just seem like poorly maintained basement stairs.
Dpayne: But as you progress farther down they start to become stone.
Dpayne: And the walls become lined with torches giving off a green flame that flickers wildly sometimes taking on the shape of a dragon or bird for just a moment.
Dpayne: As you continue down the strange stairs you come to an old stone door.
Dpayne: The old man still shaking pulls a rope and the stone begans to go down.
Dpayne: The old man yelps and then begins to trip an stumble his way up the stairs back to the laundromat.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I suppose I'll head on in.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: You enter and notice a stone chamber still lit by the same torches.
Dpayne: In the center of the chamber is a stone throne placed atop the only decoraction in the room a red Velvet carpt.
Dpayne: decoration
Dpayne: You hear a strange alien voice say "Welcome" in Mandarin.
Dpayne: A grotesquely obese Asian man mottled with moles in a loose fitting silk kimono steps out from behind the throne and ponderously makes his way to sit there.
Dpayne: He has a long thin beard and and small threatening eyes.
Dpayne: He is like some sort of corrupt Buddha.
Dpayne: He reeks of death.
Dpayne: He smiles and gazes at you as he sits on his throne.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'll smile back.
PingYu: And wait for him to say something else.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: "Oh so you wish for me to start?"
Dpayne: "You've been robbing me kindred."
Dpayne: "Robbing my parlors blind."
Dpayne: "Even after you were given good graces your kind is not normally given and you were allowed here into Chinatown."
Dpayne: "The only reason you still live is that you interest me."
Dpayne: "I suppose you must have some questions now."
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Can I ask some metaquestions here?
Dpayne: Sure
PingYu: I'm assuming my character is more familiar with the working of these seedy parlors.
PingYu: So the host of a parlor gets some of the winnings? or do they have players?
PingYu: I'm just trying to understand what exactly he means by me robbing his parlors.
Dpayne: The house gets some money.
Dpayne: You've been cheating in his parlors.
PingYu: Oh, I see.
Dpayne: Your character can use chimerstry and is a gambler after all.
Dpayne: And is competitive.
PingYu: Heehee
Dpayne: Even without cheating you've been winning.
Dpayne: And that costs him money.
PingYu: Because he loses clients?
Dpayne: Yes
PingYu: Ok.

Dpayne: It suddensly comes to you that this might be the infamous "Jade Snake" who is supposed to control Chinatown.
Dpayne: You always thought it was some sort of old wive's tale.
Dpayne: Something spoken in hushed tones by older folks and joked about by the youth.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: "It seemed like the best way to rouse the infamous Jade Snake. I have a fair interest in you, as well."
PingYu: Over.
PingYu: Do I need to roll something to see if my lie worked?
Dpayne: Manipulation + Subterfuge difficulty 9.
PingYu: roll 6#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 6#d10 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}
Dpayne: He looks somewhat susipiciously at you...
Dpayne: "Hmmm so you seem to have some familiarity with my magnificence"
Dpayne: "Good, then you know how serious your situation is."
Dpayne: "So satisfy my curiousity, what is your interest in me?"
Dpayne: over.
PingYu: "My life is one of self improvement."
PingYu: "It is our desire to better ourselves that distinguishes us from the gweilo (white devils)."
PingYu: "My interest in you is a purely selfish one. You are, admittedly, a legendary figure of sorts. And I believe there is much I could learn from you."
PingYu: And I'll give a slight bow.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: He seems pleased and claps his hand vigourously smiling as you notice the robe riding up on his arms and his flab jiggling vigourously as his moles move in a grotesque hypnotic fashion.
Dpayne: "Good, then you will accept my proposition!"
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: "I must apologize for my ignorance, for I am not aware of your proposition, great sir."
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: "Oh, I apologize your flattery got me so excited."
Dpayne: He smiles again widely showing rows of grotesque inhuman sharp yellow teeth.
Dpayne: "I have determined that you owe me a debt for your indiscretions."
Dpayne: "But you have an interesting... gift shall we say."
Dpayne: "And I need a gopher."
Dpayne: "You will pay off your debt by working for me, and I will make sure you are rewarded well."
Dpayne: "If you decline you will die."
Dpayne: As he says the last line the quickly waves a hand causing half the torches in the room to go out.
Dpayne: "Catch my drift."
PingYu: Shit.
Dpayne: He grins grotesquely again.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Can I determine whether he's a vampire, human, cathayan, ghoul, etc? And can I smell blood?
PingYu: Over

PingYu: BAH!
Jason: fuuuuuuuu
Dpayne: You are unable to determine what sort of supernatural creature he might be.
Dpayne: Despite your magnificent failure you know at the very least he is not mortal and probably not kindred because of his teeth.
Dpayne: That said you're ignorance causes you to be filled with terror.
Dpayne: Spend a blood point or take a penalty on all remaining social actions this scene.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Ok, I'll spend it.
PingYu: Down to 13.
PingYu: "May I ask what your first task for me is?"
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: "Good, I'm glad you can see golden opportunity when it is in front of you."
Dpayne: "You know about this silly counsel nonsense right?"
Dpayne: "Well apparently an emergency meeting has been called."
Dpayne: "Some of the other "independent" forces in the city have asked me to be a representative."
Dpayne: "But such a task is beneath me, so you will go in my place."
Dpayne: He pulls out a small jade dragon statuette.
Dpayne: "Take this with you and go to this address."
Dpayne: He hands you a card.
Dpayne: "Tell them you are the session's independent observer.
Dpayne: And obey any instructions you are given. You will not embarass me."
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: "I will not disappoint you."
PingYu: I'll take the things and back out.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: He yawns and waves you away.
PingYu: Also, I'll make a point to memorize what he looks like. I don't know if you want me to specify when I memorize things in detail.
Dpayne: As you leave and go up the stairs you can't help but notice feeling significantly better.
Dpayne: No, I assume you do.
PingYu: Ok
Dpayne: Unless you have some sort of horrible distraction.
Dpayne: That might prevent it.
PingYu: Ok
Dpayne: You notice the address on the card is 15 minutes away.
Dpayne: By drive.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Yeah, I'm going to return and get my motorcycle.

Dpayne: As you inspect the dragon your head is filled with a strange supernatural dialect.
Dpayne: You suddenly feel warm and compliant to yourself.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I see. So it's some sort of thing for charming people.
PingYu: I'll head back an get my motorcycle.
Dpayne: As you go back you notice the street around the restaurant is once again bustling.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'm going to sneak in the back way and see if I need to tidy things up.
PingYu: I guess it's complete mayhem in there.
Dpayne: As you enter everything looks as if it never happens.
PingYu: Oh
Dpayne: Someone opens the back door to the restaurant.
Dpayne: You do not recognize him.
Dpayne: But he smiles and says.
Dpayne: "Remember rent is due at the end of the month."
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Ok, I'll get on my motorcycle and head over.
PingYu: (to the meeting spot)
PingYu: Assuming it's tonight.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: As you drive to the meeting spot nothing seems unusual.

Dpayne: You are aware that a supernatural force is intervening to tell you something.
Dpayne: You are also vaguely aware that it is kindred in origin.
Dpayne: You have just enough control over yourself to speak nothing more.
Dpayne: You notice a well dressed man with fiery red hair making his way through the frozen traffic to you.
Dpayne: As he approaches you notice that he has two small protroding horns on his forehead and his irises are yellow in color.
Dpayne: He approaches your bike and says.
Dpayne: "It's time."
Dpayne: And smiles.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Is he white? Or an anime nerd?
PingYu: Oh
PingYu: Or is he not even human looking at all?
Dpayne: He skin is unusually tanned, but he is white.
Dpayne: He is human, other than the features I described.
Dpayne: Or looks human rather.
PingYu: "Yes, of course."
PingYu: And I smile back.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: He slips his hand in your pocket, pulls out the ring winks at you and vanishes.
Dpayne: Almost instantly time begins flowing again normally.
Dpayne: YOu are able to continue driving as if nothing had happened.
Dpayne: But you are aware that something did in fact happen.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: I'll continue on to the meeting.
PingYu: Over.
Psaturn [chatzilla@hide-BF797D4D.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
FagBigot [asdf@hide-6291818A.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net] entered the room.
Dpayne: You arrive at a dillapidated warehouse.
Dpayne: You notice several other cars pulling up.
Dpayne: And a large burly black man in a pressed suit at the door to the warehouse.
Dpayne: You however, despite all you have experienced, still feel as if you need a moment to get over the events you have experienced tonight.
Dpayne: Because of experiencing the unknown you feel somewhat human again.
Dpayne: Gain a point of humanity.
Dpayne: And End Private session!
Dpayne: Over
PingYu: Ok!
Dpayne: Okay time for experience.
Dpayne: 1 point automatic.

Psaturn: well done, theldorrin
Dpayne: Attempting to take advantage of a shitty situation.
Dpayne: 2 points for roleplaying.
PingYu: Thank you very much.
Dpayne: Okay now tell me what you learned.
PingYu: When I say what I learned, it means about the campaign, right?
PingYu: For example, I know that I've garnered the interest of two powerful individuals.
Dpayne: Yeah, or maybe a personal lesson your character learned.
Dpayne: Don't feel too confined.
Dpayne: Just say over when you're done.
PingYu: And that I don't think they're directly associated with each other.
PingYu: Or if they are, then the one with the red hair has ulterior motives.
PingYu: And also that the Jade Dragon is probably not a vampire, since he called me kindred.
PingYu: Which means that the council is engaging non-vampire factions as well.
PingYu: And also the flattery is fantastic when you have no idea what's going on.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: Okay good, 1 point.
Dpayne: Also get back a point of willpower for being a succesful conniver.
Dpayne: Okay that's it.
PingYu: Ok, but keep in mind that's my demeanor, right.
Dpayne: I know.
PingYu: Ok
Dpayne: You portrayed yourself as a conniver.
Dpayne: Trust me I know what I'm doing!
Dpayne: Gosh!
Dpayne: Anyway 4 experience and 1 willpower point.
Dpayne: Plus the 1 humanity point gained for experiencing being shellshocked.
Dpayne: Alright?
PingYu: I'm probably going to keep asking tons of clarification questions and whatnot because I think at some point I may want to run a game.
PingYu: Yup.
PingYu: I wrote it all down.
Dpayne: Okay
Dpayne: Now any criticism or comments for me?
PingYu: No, it was fantastic.
PingYu: You put me in a situation where I had absolutely no idea what to do.
Dpayne: Cool
PingYu: And it filled me with terror.
Dpayne: Thanks.
Dpayne: Yeah this session went really well.
Dpayne: I'm hoping all the solo sessions go this well.
PingYu is now known as Feuilly
Dpayne: Alright I hope someone saved the log.
Psaturn left the room.
Jason: I did.
