mode (+vvv DavidBancho KateFord Kostas) by Jason
Jason: OK.
Kostas: TL's vampire had herpes
Kostas: I guess still has herpes
KateFord: You're gay!
KateFord: No one likes you!
Kostas: You have painful sores on your penis and you have sex with men
KateFord: I'm going to kill you.
Kostas: God, you're acting like Clotho
KateFord: It's over between us, you're done.
KateFord: How dare you impugn the reputation of my character!
Kostas: Clotho and Zero hang out with you and have you have sex with them
KateFord: Motherfucker.
Kostas: Here.
Jason: OK, everybody ready?
KateFord: Yep.
Jason: Mike?
DavidBancho: i'm here
Jason: All right, Chapter Two continues.
Jason: The theater falls into a classical silence. A young man, whom the concert program, in a supplemental addition, identifies as David Bancho, takes the stage and quietly sits down at the grand piano.
Jason: Kostas, beside you, Adolfo squints his eyes. He hastily flips through the program and almost emits a small gasp. He looks around in confusion, but is soon forced to settle in his seat lest he make a scene.
Jason: David begins to play this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_7loz-HWUM
Jason: It begins to ensnare the audience with its rapturous beauty.
DavidBancho: He's actually playing this:
DavidBancho: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yypXRvnKqLs
Jason: No, don't even click that.
Jason: You just lost your experience points, Mike.
DavidBancho: sigh
Jason: Kate, you are sitting beside Luca, with Isabela on his other side. You hear her whisper to Luca: "He's a young Brujah, just got to town."
Jason: David, make an extended Charisma + Performance roll, difficulty seven.
Jason: You'll need ten successes to complete the piece flawlessly.
DavidBancho: Oh my God
DavidBancho: roll 8d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled 8d10 --> [ 8d10=52 ]{52}
DavidBancho: shit
Jason: #
DavidBancho: roll 8#d10
DavidBancho: Yeah!
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled 8#d10 --> [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
KateFord: Fucking idiot brujah.
Jason: David begins the piece strongly, and the audience takes notice of the boy, who doesn't look older than twenty. People begin whispering to one another in their seats, asking who he is.
Jason: Again.
DavidBancho: roll 8#d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled 8#d10 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}
DavidBancho: Hahahahah
DavidBancho: HAHAHAHAHAHA
DavidBancho: HOLY SHIT
DavidBancho: David, you baka ...
KateFord: Well, at least you didn't botch and fall of the stage.
KateFord: off
Kostas: fart
Jason: David, overcome by nerves, hits a sour note. You're thinking about Adolfo too much, worrying about his presence here. The music aficionados in the audience begin to question your inclusion in the evening. The prince sinks into his seat, feeling upset and embarrassed.
Jason: Again.
Kostas: Man, the odds of that is so bad
Kostas: Hahaha
DavidBancho: roll 8#d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled 8#d10 --> [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
DavidBancho: Oh my God
Jason: Oh, yes, these are specialty rolls, by the way.
Jason: Reroll that first 10 you got.
DavidBancho: roll d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
KateFord: "No wonder you don't usually see rabble musicians. They're so ... unrefined."
Jason: You recover your nerve, trying to block out thoughts of Adolfo, of your past.
Jason: Kate, Isabela speaks to you and says, "They're meant to produce great works of passion. This one has not yet matured."
Jason: Again.
DavidBancho: Man, I'm using a willpower point!
DavidBancho: roll 8#d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled 8#d10 --> [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}
DavidBancho: roll d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{10}
Kostas: I fold my hands across my chest nervously.
DavidBancho: Do I get to go again?
Jason: Yes.
DavidBancho: roll d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
Jason: Hahaha.
KateFord: "Maybe it was just nerves."
Jason: Suddenly, David, your heart begins to sing and you absolutely flourish, making the piece entirely your own.
Jason: Kostas, you hear a slight, human noise beside you and notice that tear drops of blood are running down Adolfo's cheeks.
Jason: Kate, Isabela is taken aback and humbled, she even gasps at the beauty in young David's form. She leans in to try to get a better view of the artist's eyes. Luca, beside you, raises his chin with respect.
Kostas: I think
Kostas: "I know this is supposed to be an extremely stunning piece but I can't help but feel like I'm watching an animal through cage bars."
Jason: Finally, David finishes, ecstatically, knowing that Adolfo is in the audience, playing for him, playing to express his unending pain and divine torment. The music cascades over the audience, who begin to applaud raucously. The prince sits up again once more, then stands in order to give David an ovation.
Jason: His colleagues stand as well, which sparks more and more people to follow suit.
Jason: Soon, most of the ground floor is standing and applauding; Kate, you see your mother join in.
Jason: Luca is the first person you notice to stand on the balcony.
Jason: Before he does so, however, you hear him whisper to Isabela.
Jason: He says: "I'm about to cause a fuss. Hold my hand. Stay with me."
Jason: Then he stands, and he closes his eyes.
KateFord: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Jason: David, you stand and bow, properly. Careful not to take up too much time, you quickly, desperately scan the audience for Adolfo.
Jason: And you see him, and his face is one of horror. Then you notice that everyone in the audience shares that same expression.
Jason: Kate and Kostas, you begin to see hellish fires burst into existence, eating away at the curtain bordering the stage. They fire up to the ceiling, then run down the walls like a waterfall of flame.
Jason: David, you see none of this.
KateFord: Oh shit!
Kostas: (Arnold Schwarzennegger yelling get down)
Jason: People begin to scream, some Kindred in the audience Rotschreck immediately, and frantically rush to the doors.
Jason: People scream and shout and push and trample one another trying to go.
Jason: Kostas, Adolfo remains standing. He squints his eyes, trembling, and looks around.
Jason: Kate, Luca leaps majestically off of the balcony.
KateFord: I look at Luca, shocked and yell, "What the fuck!"
Jason: Holding hands with Isabela, he takes her with him. She lands in his arms, paralyzed with fear.
KateFord: Christ, how far down is it?
Jason: Kostas, Adolfo turns, and sees a man, holding a woman in one of his arms, stepping over seats and advancing toward him, dexterously avoiding all the shrieking, running people.
Kostas: I instinctively put my arm behind Adolfo.
Kostas: oops
Jason: Adolfo begins to say "Oh no, no, no, no."
Jason: Then he shouts: "It's not real!" He tells you, Kostas, "It's not real!"
Jason: Then he turns to man he sat down beside. He says, thick with accent, "James, I need a safe place. I need to get out of here. This fire, it is for me."
Jason: The man is holding the woman beside him, scared, but dialing 911 on his phone with determination. Adolfo says to him: "I'm going to the company building. I'm going to stay there."
Jason: And then Adolfo runs, in the opposite direction of the mob.
Jason: He jumps through the orchestra pit, and hops onto the stage, where he passes a confused and worried David Bancho.
KateFord: I jump down after them.
Jason: OK.
Kostas: What a horrible night to have a curse
Jason: Kate and Kostas, you both make extended Perception + Courage rolls.
Jason: Difficulty six for both of you, five successes needed to prevent Rotschreck from the monstrous fire.
KateFord: roll 6#d10
dicebot: KateFord rolled 6#d10 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}
Kostas: roll 7#d10
dicebot: Kostas rolled 7#d10 --> [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}
Jason: Kate, you barely hang onto control of yourself, gripping the ledge of the balcony with dread and fear. Kostas, you maintain your senses, although you're so very close to this fire, you're sweating blood.
KateFord: roll 6#d10
dicebot: KateFord rolled 6#d10 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}
Jason: David, Adolfo runs past you, inches away from you. You may make an action.
DavidBancho: I'll grab him.
DavidBancho: "Stop! Please, don't go!"
Jason: Dexterity + Brawl, difficulty seven.
Jason: Kostas, roll again..
DavidBancho: roll 3#d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled 3#d10 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
Kostas: roll 7#d10
dicebot: Kostas rolled 7#d10 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}
Kostas: (awww yeah)
Jason: You just barely grab onto Adolfo's shirt. He twists around and says to you, blood in his eyes: "David... I'm so, so sorry."
Jason: Then he swats your hand away and runs past, into the backstage area.
DavidBancho: I'll call out, "Orson, where are you?!"
DavidBancho: I'll wait a few seconds for him to respond or show up.
DavidBancho: If he doesn't, I'll GIVE CHASE.
DavidBancho: over
Jason: Kostas, near you, you see the man that Adolfo was afraid of, and you regain your senses completely, well enough to see him set down the woman he is with and shout to her: "Go, prepare your home for me. I'll be there in an hour."
Jason: Then she runs out along with the rest of the crowd, and he follows Adolfo's trail. You remember what you were told to do in case of trouble.
Jason: Kate, roll again.
KateFord: roll 6#d10
dicebot: KateFord rolled 6#d10 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
KateFord: yessssssss
Jason: Kate, you scream and steel your nerves, push away the thoughts of flame. For both of you, the fires remain but you feel no fear. You are too determined.
Jason: David, Orson appears from the opposite way that Adolfo ran, and runs up to you asking "What the hell's happened?!"
Jason: Over.
KateFord: Would jumping from up here break my legs?
Jason: Yes, absolutely.
KateFord: Shit.
KateFord: That asshole with super strength ...
Jason: Oh, also, you did not see Luca dismiss Isabela. In your strain and panic, you only made out Luca running up onto the stage and heading behind the infernal curtain.
KateFord: It would probably take too long to get down there the normal way.
KateFord: Is there anything around I can climb down that isn't on fire?
DavidBancho: "It doesn't matter. We have to go after Adolfo."
DavidBancho: I gesture for him to follow me and then BOUND after my sire.
DavidBancho: over
Jason: No, nothing would be safe for you. Your only option is to run down the normal way. It won't be too hard.
KateFord: Oh, it's not crowded?
KateFord: Then I'll run down.
KateFord: over
Jason: You push your way through the hordes of the scared, panicked and Rotschrecked, and are so fierce and determined that you make it down to the bottom, pushing people out of your way.
Jason: Kostas, what will you do?
Kostas: I'll yell to the guy next to me
Kostas: "Follow me if you'd like"
Kostas: I will take off after Adolfo as well
Kostas: Wait
Kostas: Is it impossible for me to get through the stage because of the flames?
Jason: No, you can.
Kostas: Okay
Jason: Both Adolfo and his pursuer have.
Jason: He says, sweating and scared, "I have to look after my wife."
Kostas: I wasn't sure if because of the time or whatever if the flames had begun to spread too much
Kostas: Is he sweating blood?
Jason: No.
Kostas: "Stay with your wife then. "
Kostas: I guess I start running as fast as I can after Adolfo.
Kostas: Over.
Jason: He and his wife run away with the crowd.
Jason: Kate, what will you do? You've made your way to the ground floor of the theater, and you see only one of the men who sat next to your parents, hastily making his way up to the stage.
KateFord: I look around for my parents first.
DavidBancho: bitch
Jason: No sign of them.
KateFord: Shit.
KateFord: I hope they get out fine.
KateFord: I knew this asshole was bad news.
KateFord: I'll run after him.
KateFord: over
Jason: The three of you, one after the other, climb onto the stage and head behind it into the bowels of the theater. There are scattered "Hey, you can't be here!" cries, and many people struggling to figure out just what the hell is going on.
KateFord: I tell that guy to fuck off and keep going, trying to find Luca.
Jason: Finally each of you push your way out of the giant steel back door, into the chilly night. You look around in confusion and see no sign of the men or woman you were pursuing.
Jason: You look around and are surprised to see each other, congregated together.
Kostas: I don't really care who they are as long as they help me find Adolfo.
KateFord: "What the fuck is going on?"
Kostas: "I'm going to guess we all ran after that man. So maybe we'd better talk later."
Kostas: "Did anyone see where he went?"
DavidBancho: I'm waiting for the over from Jason
DavidBancho: u done, brosef?
Jason: Not yet.
DavidBancho: kk
Kostas: o k sry
Jason: There is, dressed well, a young woman in her mid-twenties with black hair, attractive. There is a thin man, looking thirty years old, scruffy hair and clothes with thin, sharp facial features which make him seem bookish and slightly nerdy. Then there is the young man who played the piano, his hair rugged in a very handsome way, looking confused, desperate. You both have profound respect for him after his performance, despite everything else.
Jason: Tell me if that got cut off.
Jason: Beside the pianist is a larger man, in his twenties, with a square chin and tight, close brown hair. He looks like he could be the pianist's older brother.
Jason: The street is empty. The old, classical lights are shining in the darkness.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: "What the fuck is going on?"
Kostas: "I have to find him. Where did he go?"
DavidBancho: I'm trembling.
DavidBancho: "I was so close."
KateFord: "Close? Do you know where he went?"
DavidBancho: "Adolfo?"
KateFord: "
Kostas: "You all know Adolfo?"
KateFord: "Adolfo?"
KateFord: "What does that guy have to do with this?"
DavidBancho: I walk up to Kostas and put my hands on his shoulders
DavidBancho: And look him straight in the eyes.
Kostas: fag
DavidBancho: "Adolfo is my sire. You need to tell me everything."
DavidBancho: "Why is he here in Santonna?"
KateFord: "He's working for my father."
Kostas: I break David's gaze and look over at Kate
KateFord: "He's a vampire?"
Kostas: "Who is your father? Never mind, this is nonsense."
Kostas: I look back at David
Kostas: "Did you see where he went?
Kostas: "
Jason: Haha, bear in mind you guys don't know each other are Kindred...
Jason: Well, I suppose Kate knows that David is.,
KateFord: David just said that Adolfo was his sire ...
DavidBancho: Wait
DavidBancho: I thought this was a concert for KINDRED
Kostas: No
Kostas: Kindred and humans alike
Jason: It was attended by many Kindred.
Jason: But yeah, not exclusively.
Jason: It's fine, though, you guys are doing well, don't let me distract you.
DavidBancho: Well, Jason, brosef
DavidBancho: After what we just saw
DavidBancho: With the superhuman acts
DavidBancho: The cat is kind of out of the bag at this point
Jason: And remember, David, you did not see the fire.
DavidBancho: Yeah, but I saw the JUMP
Jason: All right.
Jason: Continue, I'm sorry.
DavidBancho: I'll back off from Kostas.
DavidBancho: "I have no idea where he went."
Jason: (Secret roll.)
DavidBancho: he rolled a 69
KateFord: :O
Jason: Pay no mind. Continue.
Kostas: "The man next to me said he was going to a company building."
DavidBancho: "He probably meant the Ford Banking and Associates office."
DavidBancho: Or maybe even the headquarters for the NPO
DavidBancho: ekekeke
KateFord: "Let's go then."
KateFord: "My car is here, I'll drive."
DavidBancho: Hmmm
DavidBancho: I suppose time is of the essence.
KateFord: "Are you dense? Are you retarded or something?"
KateFord: "Let's go before that motherfucker kills your sire!"
DavidBancho: "Ahh, yes, let's go."
Kostas: "We need to talk in the car."
KateFord: "That's fine, but let's go."
DavidBancho: I'll follow Kate to her car. I'd like to QUESTION THEM THOROUGHLY about what's going on, but I understand that we need to rush.
DavidBancho: over
Kostas: I follow them. My hands are in the pocket and I make sure to get in the back seat.
DavidBancho: ehehehehe
Kostas: Haha, the pocket, fuck
KateFord: He only has one pocket.
KateFord: On the crotch of his pants.
Kostas: Gonna..touch my dick?
Kostas: ANYWAYS
Kostas: Maybe you should get in the car too!
DavidBancho: I said I'd follow Kate to her car.
DavidBancho: Jeez
KateFord: Yes, I get behind the wheel and turn the ignition.
KateFord: over
Jason: The larger man with the pianist says: "I can drive. Just tell me where."
DavidBancho: I grab the handle of the passenger side door
DavidBancho: And pull
Jason: Over.
Kostas: Who's driving now Kate or Orson?
KateFord: "I know where it it, don't worry."
KateFord: I'm driving.
Kostas: Okay
DavidBancho: "Let her take care of it, Orson."
KateFord: No way am I letting some dead guy wreck my car.
Jason: "All right, if you insist," he says, and gets into the back seat.
DavidBancho: I'll hop in, too.
Jason: So, Kate driving, David passenger, Kostas and Orson in back?
KateFord: Yes.
Jason: Kate, roll Wits + Drive, extended roll, five needed, difficulty seven.
KateFord: roll 3#d10
dicebot: KateFord rolled 3#d10 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}
KateFord: Oh my God.
Kostas: yaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DavidBancho: You really should have let Orson drive.
Jason: The car stalls. You curse at it and rev the engine to get it to start.
KateFord: Yeah, I didn't expect to have to roll to drive to a place I've been thousands of times!
Kostas: In any rudimentary situation rolling like that...
Jason: I assume you wanted to rush.
Jason: If you want to take your time, fine!
Jason: But who knows what will happen.
KateFord: I guess you're right.
KateFord: I would be in a hurry.
DavidBancho: "If this is too difficult for you, Orson is a exceptional driver."
KateFord: "Goddamn it, don't worry about it."
Jason: Haha, OK, roll again.
KateFord: roll 3#d10
dicebot: KateFord rolled 3#d10 --> [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}
Jason: You take off and begin speeding through the streets. Behind you, you can see a firetruck pulling up to the theater, and some very confused people.
Jason: You can talk to one another, or Kate can roll again.
Jason: Over.
Kostas: I'm going to hum what David just played softly int he back seat
KateFord: roll 3#d10
dicebot: KateFord rolled 3#d10 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}
DavidBancho: HAHAHAHAHA
KateFord: Oh my God.
Kostas: God fucking damnit
Kostas: Just let the fatass drive
KateFord: Fine, fuck.
Jason: Orson isn't fat!
Jason: He's very much in shape.
DavidBancho: It's true.
Kostas: Okay, that's great to know
KateFord: "Orson, drive."
Kostas: I keep thinking of Orson welles I guess
KateFord: "Fuck."
Jason: "Watch out!" Orson screams as Kate speeds through a traffic light and careens with an incoming car, in a tremendous collision.
KateFord: Yeah, I immediately got the impression that Orson was fat, too.
DavidBancho: Orson and David both share a Bowflex
DavidBancho: David had his seat buckled
Jason: You all take one level of bashing damage, save Kate who takes two.
DavidBancho: sigh
KateFord: Geez.
Jason: The car is wrecked, the driver of the other car is injured. People are crowding around.
Jason: Over.
Kostas: "This is bad. We need to leave."
KateFord: "No shit!"
DavidBancho: Hahaha
DavidBancho: I'll climb out of the wreckage
Kostas: I'll climb out as well.
KateFord: God, I can't just leave.
KateFord: That would be so fucking illegal.
Kostas: omg
Jason: You can hear police sirens immediately. This is a very white part of town.
Jason: Over.
Kostas: Hahahaha
DavidBancho: God
Kostas: "I'm glad we're in a crashed car with one of the best pianists in the city who gave a performance at a theater that just started burning down."
KateFord: "Do you really want to fucking die right now?"
DavidBancho: "I don't want to leave the driver of the other car, but we need to get out of here."
Kostas: "The other driver? Forget about him."
DavidBancho: How many witnesses are there, Jason?
Kostas: I go to Kate, "How far is the company building?"
Jason: You can see about a dozen people around. Some have their phones out, taking pictures, dialing friends and possibly 911.
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: Oh nice.
DavidBancho: I'll use Majesty
Jason: On who?
KateFord: The police, man.
KateFord: We need to smooth this over fast.
DavidBancho: Oh, it doesn't work on everything around me?
DavidBancho: It's only one person?
DavidBancho: Ahh
DavidBancho: I'll use awe then
DavidBancho: And expend a willpower point for an automatic success
Jason: Charisma + Performance, difficulty seven.
DavidBancho: roll 8#d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled 8#d10 --> [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}
DavidBancho: Nice
KateFord: If we make the cops fuck up enough, I don't have to worry about going to jail.
Jason: Everyone on the street, including you, Kate and Kostas, see instantly how beautiful young David is, how talented and bright. You can't bring yourself to be mad at him.
Jason: Over.
Kostas: I'm mad at the dumbass who crashed the car after being warned
Kostas: hehe
KateFord: "Listen, David, we need to get out of this mess."
DavidBancho: Is the driver of the car that we hit a man or a woman?
Kostas: I'm turned to Kate and I walk over to her.
Kostas: "How far is the company? Can we make it on foot?"
KateFord: Jason, can we make it on foot?
Jason: A woman.
DavidBancho: I shout so everyone can hear.
DavidBancho: "Please make sure she is alright. Also, the accident wasn't our fault. Make sure the police understand this."
Jason: Quick math...
DavidBancho: I say this FULLY AWARE that we slammed into the side or rear of another car.
Jason: It's forty miles.
KateFord: Once the police report is filled out, your lies will be the truth.
Jason: From here to the building.
KateFord: "There's no way we can make it in time without a car."
DavidBancho: "Let's move. We can undoubtedly find another car somewhere."
Kostas: Do I know that David just influenced me?
Jason: (Secret roll.)
KateFord: "David, tell the police I don't want to press charges against this woman."
Kostas: I guess I know David's name from the program at the Opera
Kostas: O i just her dit too
Jason: Yes.
DavidBancho: I don't think the police are there yet.
Jason: You both know David's name, and Orson's.
DavidBancho: I believe it's just us and the CIVILIAN onlookers.
Kostas: "We can't all fit in a cab."
Kostas: "We could split up."
DavidBancho: The problem is my awe won't be as effective once I leave the scene.
DavidBancho: Hahaha
Jason: Effective at all, actually.
Jason: It will dissipate as soon as you leave.
DavidBancho: thigh
KateFord: "I'm going to make a couple phone calls, hold on."
Kostas: "Who are you calling? Kate, you can call from a cab."
Kostas: Shit, I don't know Kate's name
Kostas: Pretend I didn't say it.
DavidBancho: Jason, I'm going to leave the scene of the ACCIDENT with Orson
KateFord: "Then call a cab!"
DavidBancho: Get away as far as I can
DavidBancho: And then call a cab
Kostas: Can I try to find a cab on the scene?
DavidBancho: If I manage to HAIL ONE
Jason: Yes.
KateFord: "What's going on?"
KateFord: "Isabela, where are you?"
DavidBancho: I'll tell them to take me to the Ford Banking and Associates building or whatever.
DavidBancho: over
Kostas: I'm also looking for a cab.
Jason: Unfortunately, traffic is backed up from the accident.
Jason: Have you left the scene?
DavidBancho: Yes, I have.
KateFord: I haven't.
Jason: Kostas?
Kostas: I'm going to tell Kate
Kostas: "Let's run up a block and get a cab. Follow me"
Kostas: I'm going to try to go up-traffic and search for a cab
KateFord: "Can you pick me up?"
KateFord: "What happened?"
Jason: Kate is speaking on her phone, by the way.
Kostas: duh
KateFord: "Why the fuck did he do that? Is he insane?"
Kostas: So if David leaves
Kostas: Does that mean the person who caused the accident is just hanging out where all the police are
Kostas: And they aren't awed anymore?
Jason: You mean Kate?
Kostas: Yes
Jason: Yes.
Kostas: Okay, well, I'm a block up from the accident now.
Kostas: Over.
Jason: Are you and David and Orson all together?
KateFord: "Why should that matter to me?"
KateFord: "Do you understand the world of shit I'm in right now?"
Kostas: I'm guessing that the chronology is that David and Orson left
Kostas: And that I tried to get Kate's attention but she ignored me
Kostas: So I told her to at least follow me and I ran up a block,
Jason: I'LL BE RIGHT BACK GUYS.
KateFord: "I flipped out because I didn't know what happened to you or my parents and got into a fucking car accident. Jesus Christ."
KateFord: "You're right, I just needed to know you're okay. I'll call you later."
KateFord: I hang up and run after the others.
Kostas: We are separated, I waited for you.
KateFord: Well, I hope you did.
DavidBancho: David is at the company building having a death duel with the boss of the story.
DavidBancho: Oh wow, he just won.
DavidBancho: He got such awesome loot
Kostas: Mike, are you gay?
KateFord: Kostas is definitely gay.
KateFord: He was all putting his arm around Adolfo.
DavidBancho: Yeah, I saw that.
DavidBancho: Fucking faggot!
Kostas: Adolfo is...so dreamy
Kostas: We were on a date...
KateFord: David, Kostas was putting the moves on your dad!
Kostas: It is entirely possible that they think that I'm Adolfo's gay love
Kostas: I went with him to an opera!
KateFord: Anyway, we need to get to the building.
KateFord: Did David already get a cab?
DavidBancho: Yes, and he requested a van.
DavidBancho: So there's room for all of us.
KateFord: Well, hopefully Adolfo isn't dead.
KateFord: Shit, I fucked up.
DavidBancho: Adolfo and David used to shoot a lot of hoops
Kostas: o u suk ur daddy's dik?
DavidBancho: Guys, he only SIRED DAVID
KateFord: Kostas is trying to be your step-sire.
DavidBancho: David hates faggots!
DavidBancho: You guys love david so much
Jason: I'm back, sorry.
Kostas: David plays the piano at operas
DavidBancho: Because of awe
DavidBancho: You want him so badly
KateFord: I don't.
KateFord: Kostas probably does, though.
Kostas: I dooooo notttttttttt
Jason: OK, so, where are we?
KateFord: Anyway, we're all gathered up ready to get in the cab.
Jason: David you flagged down a van cab?
DavidBancho: Yes.
Jason: OK, you all shuffle inside of it, thinking of the many, many people who saw you commit vehicular almost manslaughter. Kate gives the driver the address and tells him to hurry.
Jason: You're all sitting uncomfortably in the back of the cab together.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: "Okay, so, who are you guys?"
KateFord: "How do you know Adolfo?"
Kostas: "I saw Adolfo cry blood during David's piece."
DavidBancho: "I've already explained my connection to him."
DavidBancho: I look at Kostas
DavidBancho: "Please tell me everything ..."
DavidBancho: "You seem to be his friend."
Kostas: "I'm not really his friend."
Kostas: "I work for the University under the guidance of Professor Lennox."
Kostas: "Professor Lennox wanted me to take him to the Opera to get his mind of their work together."
DavidBancho: "What were they working on?"
Kostas: "I think Adolfo was giving Professor Lennox an eye witness account of some of his occult experiences."
KateFord: "Are you ... Kindred?"
DavidBancho: I look at Kate
KateFord: I was talking to Kostas
DavidBancho: And then my eyes move toward the driver of the cab.
KateFord: Yeah, that's why I didn't say vampire!
KateFord: Not like these squares know vampire slang.
DavidBancho: You're so open about this!
Kostas: "I'm a vampire. What clan are you from, Kate?"
KateFord: "What the fuck!"
Kostas: Fuck, I gotta go for 10 minutes
Kostas: The fire alarm just went off
Jason: Hahaha.
Kostas: brb
KateFord: "Are you a lunatic?"
KateFord: Jesus, way to be Zero.
Jason: Does he know your name yet?
DavidBancho: Jason, is my awe still applied to them?
KateFord: No.
KateFord: I was going to say that too.
Jason: Yes.
DavidBancho: kekeke
Jason: Actually.
Jason: Since you left first.
Jason: No, not anymore.
Jason: I'm sorry.
DavidBancho: Here
DavidBancho: I'll use it again
Jason: Haha, OK.
Jason: Charisma + Performance, seven.
KateFord: I'll make you stop.
DavidBancho: roll 8#d10
dicebot: DavidBancho rolled 8#d10 --> [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}
DavidBancho: excellent
Jason: The driver and Orson are both awed by you.
DavidBancho: I'LL FUCKING USE IT AGAIN
Jason: OK, but the difficulty is increased to nine.
DavidBancho: Oh my GOd
dicebot left the room (quit: Quit: ).
KateFord: What's the deal with college students and fire alarms?
DavidBancho: I don't know
DavidBancho: When I lived in the dorms
DavidBancho: I had to deal with that shit constantly
KateFord: Yeah, it's the same shit here.
Jason: Does anyone want to stop for now?
KateFord: Let's give Stefan a few more minutes.
KateFord: Mike won't be able to play tomorrow.
Kostas: Can
Kostas: Can I take that back
Kostas: Sorry
Kostas: I know what I did wrong
Kostas: I was distracted by the fire alarm
Jason: It's OK.
Kostas: also sorry for leaving
Jason: No prob.
Kostas: I really fucked up I understand
Kostas: I was completely distracted
KateFord: We get it, bro.
DavidBancho: David has an erection, but he crossed his legs so you can't see it.
Jason: Take it from.
Jason: DavidBancho: "What were they working on?"
Jason: Kostas: "I think Adolfo was giving Professor Lennox an eye witness account of some of his occult experiences."
Jason: KateFord: "Are you ... Kindred?"
Kostas: I'll nod at Kate.
Kostas: Over.
DavidBancho: "Do you know anything else?"
Kostas: "No. Why would anyone be after Adolfo? That doesn't make any sense to me."
KateFord: "I'm not sure why, either."
KateFord: "The guy who started it all is named Luca. Is that familiar to any of you?"
DavidBancho: "No, it isn't."
Kostas: "No, I've never heard that name."
Kostas: "What do you mean started it all?"
KateFord: "He's the one who attacked Adolfo."
KateFord: "He probably started the fire, too."
Kostas: "Do you know why he'd do that?"
KateFord: "I just met him last night and he's spoken like two sentences to me."
KateFord: "Neither of them included the name Adolfo."
Kostas: "Who is he to you?"
KateFord: "Just some guy, like I said, I just met him last night."
Kostas: "Did you say that Adolfo worked for your family?"
KateFord: "Yeah, he's running my father's charity."
DavidBancho: "Brother's Onus."
KateFord: "That's all I know about Adolfo, so I can't help you there, either."
KateFord: "Yeah, that's it."
DavidBancho: "Why did he give it that name?"
Kostas: "Brother's...Onus?"
KateFord: "Honestly, I don't think it was my father's idea. So who knows?"
Kostas: "David, he's your sire."
Kostas: "What can you tell us about him?"
DavidBancho: "Brother's Onus is the name of an incredibly powerful artifact."
Kostas: "And he named the charity after it?"
DavidBancho: "Adolfo spent years hunting it down."
DavidBancho: "I don't know."
Kostas: "Did he ever find it?"
DavidBancho: "Sort of."
KateFord: "Sort of?"
Jason: The cab stops.
Jason: "We're here," says the driver.
KateFord: I get out.
KateFord: over
DavidBancho: Yeah, I'll get out, too.
Kostas: I'll get out.
DavidBancho: "I'll finish the story later."
Kostas: "Kate, does this place have any security?"
DavidBancho: "I think it's more important that we focus on finding Adolfo and Luca."
Jason: "Hey, who the fuck's gonna pay me!" the driver shouts.
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: Kang would have shot this guy.
DavidBancho: I'll give the guy some money
KateFord: How much is it?
DavidBancho: However much it is
DavidBancho: And tell him to keep the change
DavidBancho: If there is any
DavidBancho: over
Jason: The fare cleans out your wallet, David.
KateFord: "I should be able to get us in, they know me here."
DavidBancho: I'll follow Kate.
Kostas: I'll follow Kate as well.
KateFord: I ENTER
DavidBancho: If you follow me
DavidBancho: We'll be walking in a line!
Jason: The cab drives away; outside of the silver Ford Banking and Associates building is one car, driven up onto the sidewalk, and another some feet away from it. The lobby, through the glass walls, is pitch black.
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: i put on my night vision goggles
KateFord: Does it look like someone broke in?
Kostas: "I asked you because I have a gun on me."
Jason: No, it doesn't,
Jason: The door is open.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: "You might need it."
KateFord: I walk in.
KateFord: over
Kostas: I really hope I don't have to use my gun.
DavidBancho: I'm right behind her.
Kostas: I'll follow David in a straight line
Kostas: over.
DavidBancho: Orson is following Kostas
DavidBancho: So it's girl boy girl boy
Kostas: oh hehheh
DavidBancho: hehehe
DavidBancho: u see wut i did there?
Jason: The corporate lobby is jet black. You can't even see your hand in front of your face.
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: Orson has a flashlight on his shotgun!
Kostas: Also, Orson has a shotgun
KateFord: I'll turn on the lights.
Kostas: Fuck, it's like Doom 3
DavidBancho: Or Kate can just hit a light switch
Jason: No he doesn't, David, I'm sorry.
Kostas: So are the lights on or what?
DavidBancho: Orson forgot his flashlight ...
DavidBancho: Wow ...
Jason: Kate, roll Wits + Security, difficulty nine, to find the light switch.
***Jason rolls 2 10-sided dice: 10 1
***KateFord rolls a d10 2 times: 10, 1, total: 11
Jason: Wow.
KateFord: Oh lol
KateFord: "It's too damn dark in here."
Jason: You stumble around in the darkness, can't find anything.
Jason: Over.
Kostas: "Where do we want to go, anyways?"
DavidBancho: Here
DavidBancho: David has an IPHONE
KateFord: "I don't even know where to start.
KateFord: "
DavidBancho: And he has the FLASHLIGHT MOD
Kostas: "Also, just so you three know my name is Kostas if you have to call for me."
DavidBancho: He'll use that
Jason: He doesn't, I'm sorry.
DavidBancho: OH MY GOD
KateFord: My dad has the flashlight app.
KateFord: I mean, in real life.
Kostas: iLight?
KateFord: Whatever it's called.
KateFord: ANYWAY
KateFord: I sigh.
KateFord: And pull out my phone.
Kostas: It's great that my vampire doesn't have a phone or anything
KateFord: You're a nerd.
DavidBancho: "Does anybody have a lighter?"
Kostas: "I don't smoke."
Kostas: I guess I'm going to try to look for a door or stairs or something.
KateFord: "Hold on, let's not get separated here."
KateFord: "This is Kate, are my parents home?"
KateFord: "No, no. Don't worry about it."
KateFord: I hang up.
KateFord: And dial another number.
KateFord: "Are you alright?"
KateFord: "I ran into some problems, but I'm fine."
Jason: Kostas, Wits + Alertness, nine.
KateFord: "This is going to sound like it came out of nowhere, but do you know where Adolfo went?"
Kostas: How do I use the dice function that I downloaded?
***Jason rolls 6 10-sided dice: 3 5 3 1 7 5
Kostas: nnooooooooooo
KateFord: "I ran into some friends of his and we're there now. I don't know where to start looking for him, though."
Jason: The horrific blackness swirls around you as you desperately try to free yourself from it. You lose your way, lose yourself from the other three, and vomit, losing two blood points.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: Idiot.
KateFord: Faggot.
KateFord: Although, I guess that answers some questions even though I shouldn't know about it.
KateFord: Shit, this is bad.
Kostas: I lie on the ground in the darkness retching.
KateFord: Fuck, we are fucked.
Kostas: "That's...that's never happened before...."
KateFord: "Thanks, mother. I'll call you back. Love you."
Kostas: "I haven't fed in a long time"
KateFord: I hang up.
Kostas: "This has never happened. This has never ever happened."
KateFord: "We need to get out of here."
DavidBancho: Hmm
Kostas: "I don't know what's happening, it's not safe to be around me."
KateFord: I call out for security, but I'm pretty sure there won't be an answer.
Jason: Silence.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: "It's too late. If Adolfo is here, he's probably already dead."
Kostas: I'm going to keep dry heaving, the feeling of blood out of my throat is terrifying.
DavidBancho: I'm still near the entrance, right?
Jason: I suppose.
DavidBancho: I take it the doors aren't glass.
Jason: The entire front wall is glass.
Jason: And metal bars of foundation.
KateFord: I'm going to leave.
DavidBancho: And the light from the moon and the street lights is just eaten up by the darkness or something?
Jason: You can see outside.
Jason: But everything else is pure blackness.
DavidBancho: It seems like part of the lobby should be illuminated
DavidBancho: Weird
Jason: The only way to gauge your position is in relation to the front wall.
KateFord: "Guys, this darkness is supernatural!"
KateFord: "Get out!"
Kostas: I'm going to try to get up and run out
DavidBancho: Yeah, I'll leave the building.
KateFord: Am I outside the building?
Kostas: I can still feel my body aching from the car crash
Kostas: I'm also fucking hungry
Jason: You all very carefully walk back to the door, careful not to lose your way in the immersing darkness.
Kostas: I've never been so hungry before
Kostas: I've never gone this long without eating
Jason: Finally, you're all outside.
Kostas: I've never been under this kind of stress either.
Jason: Over.
Kostas: I'm going to look for someone to feed on
Kostas: Over.
Jason: Perception, eight.
***Jason rolls 8 10-sided dice: 8 6 8 10 10 2 2 9
DavidBancho: Are we near any sort of store, Jason?
KateFord: I pull out my phone.
***Kostas rolls 1 dice: 3
Jason: You find a very lonely, very lost fat man, Kostas. He seems to be looking for a cab. There is no one else around.
Kostas: I feed
DavidBancho: I look at Kate.
KateFord: "Are you kidding?"
DavidBancho: "Is there another entrance?"
KateFord: "There is some serious shit happening!"
Jason: You sneak up on this fat man, bite his neck and he crumbles in your grasp, lost in wonder.
Jason: Extended Self-Control roll, difficulty eight, five successes needed.
Jason: How much blood do you want to take from him?
KateFord: "I'm almost positive people are dead or dying in my father's building."
Kostas: How many pints to hospitalize?
Kostas: If I take 4 pints I end with six, right?
Jason: You have one point remaining right now.
KateFord: "Wait, are ... Are you here?"
Jason: Five points will hospitalize him.
KateFord: I turn away from the phone and look at David, "Don't go in there. Not yet."
Kostas: I'll take four points
Jason: OK, now roll.
***Jason rolls 4 10-sided dice: 6 9 2 9
Jason: As you drink, you struggle to control your hunger.
***Jason rolls 4 10-sided dice: 3 6 4 5
Jason: It's incredibly difficult. You continue to drink.
KateFord: "The lobby is supernaturally dark."
***Jason rolls 4 10-sided dice: 6 6 5 3
Jason: You can't fight it.
Jason: You drink and drink and gorge yourself to absolute completion, the man is drained of every drop of blood in his body, and you frenzy.
Kostas: Fuck!
Kostas: Okay, I'm frenzying
KateFord: "Oh fuck."
DavidBancho: I don't think we saw that.
Jason: You howl as blood washes down your chin, and you start biting the man whom you've killed.
Kostas: He's so fucking fat too
KateFord: Well, I heard him howl.
Jason: Your fangs widely outstretched, you pierce his fat skin and clothes, sadistically, tearing through his flesh like raw meat.
KateFord: I have no idea what to do.
Kostas: I continue to drink Psaturn as much as I can
Jason: ehehhehe
Jason: Finally, after turning this poor man into a carcass that looks like it was feasted upon by a pack of lions, you collapse, unconscious.
Jason: Over.
Kostas: Hahah, fuck this shitty night
Kostas: At least I'm full of blood
DavidBancho: Jason, how long would it take us to go buy some flashlights or flares or WHATEVER?
Kostas: I hope I fucked everything up
DavidBancho: Is there a convenience store nearby?
DavidBancho: Or a WALMART
Kostas: If my guy were conscious he'd probably tell you that it's OBTENEBRATION or whatever
Kostas: And be a pedantic fuck about the fact that we were probably fighting Sabbat vampires
KateFord: We're in a world of shit.
DavidBancho: "Orson, would you go look for our lost friend?"
KateFord: An entire universe composed entirely of shit.
Kostas: *zooms out and the planet is made of shit*
KateFord: "Yeah, I'm ... Yeah, I'm here."
Jason: Are you asking Orson to find Kostas?
DavidBancho: Yes I am.
Jason: He's across the street, about a block away all told. You can all see him.
DavidBancho: wait
KateFord: "Some asshole just frenzied and then passed out. It's fine."
DavidBancho: He did it in plain site?
DavidBancho: I figured he walked a couple of blocks away.
DavidBancho: SIGHT
Jason: Pretty much. This whole neighborhood is asleep.
Jason: You're the only ones on the street, nothing around you is open
DavidBancho: I'll go to Kostas and see if I can wake him up.
DavidBancho: over
Jason: You find Kostas passed out on top of a PILE OF MEAT.
Jason: Over.
Kostas: I destroyed a fat man
KateFord: "I guess I just got caught up in trying to figure out what went on."
DavidBancho: Okay
KateFord: "This is some serious stuff, though."
DavidBancho: I'll slap him a few times
DavidBancho: AND SHAKE HIM
Jason: Kostas, you jerk back up, blood all over your face and clothes.
KateFord: "Can you send someone for me?"
Jason: You're lucid now, and your deeds come flooding back to you in a vision.
Kostas: "Oh...oh no...oh no"
Jason: Conscience, difficulty eight.
Kostas: dice 1 8
***Kostas rolls 1 dice (D=8): 10 => [Success: 1]

Jason: OK, but you roll three dice.
***Kostas rolls 3 dice (D=8): 1, 2, 9 => [Failure]
Jason: Aw.
Kostas: Goddamnit
Jason: You look down at your heinous crime against man, your dead stomach turns as you think about what a monster you have become.
Jason: You lose a point of Humanity.
Jason: David stands over you.
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: I'll help him up.
Kostas: "Oh no..oh no"
Kostas: "I can't believe it"
Kostas: I start dry heaving as David helps me up
KateFord: I'm trying to figure out if I should care what happens to these guys.
Kostas: "I'm sorry, I didn't get a chance to feed. I had to."
Kostas: "Something happened to me in that building."
DavidBancho: "Yes, the darkness appears to be supernatural."
Kostas: "I've been extremely hungry to feed before but I've never vomited up blood like that."
DavidBancho: "We need to figure out a way to get past it."
Jason: (Secret roll.)
KateFord: "Okay, I'll see you tonight."
Kostas: "Who's in there? What has the girl learned? What's her name?"
KateFord: I hang up and look at Kostas.
DavidBancho: "She hasn't told me anything. She's been on the phone the entire time."
KateFord: "My name is Kate, okay?"
DavidBancho: I'll walk back to the building.
Kostas: "Yeah, after the car accident she just sat there on the phone."
KateFord: "Listen, tonight has been really stressful."
KateFord: "David, you have an idea about how I feel right now."
Kostas: "Alright, I can tell you something that will make tonight ever worse.
Kostas: ""
KateFord: "I want to figure out what is going on, but I don't think we can make it past those shadows."
Kostas: "We have to get to him. I think he knows where the Brother's Onus is."
KateFord: "We will almost certainly die, either by whoever is inside or by the sun rising after we get lost for hours."
KateFord: "I ..."
Kostas: "Maybe whoever is after him is after the artifact as well."
KateFord: "I'm not sure what to do."
Kostas: "Is there another entrance?"
DavidBancho: "Yes, I was wondering that myself."
KateFord: Jason, is there another entrance?
Jason: There is not.
Jason: Unfortunately.
Jason: It's a corporate building.
KateFord: "David, I really want to help you, but no. That's the only way in."
Kostas: "Isn't there an elevator we can get to?"
Jason: There is an elevator, through the lobby.
Kostas: "If we feel along the sides we can find a door to another room."
Kostas: "Kate, don't you have any memory of what the building looks like?"
DavidBancho: "That's a good idea. Let's try that."
KateFord: "Okay, I'll try."
KateFord: "Let's hold hands, okay?"
DavidBancho: fuckin' slut
DavidBancho: Okay
KateFord: I'll lead them toward the elevator.
DavidBancho: So we're hugging the wall until we find an elevator
Kostas: I'll follow behind them and keep my hand on David.
Jason: You all enter the building once more. The darkness remains, overwhelming and evil.
Kostas: "Something happened to me in here"
Jason: All three of you roll Wits + Alertness, difficulty seven.
KateFord: "If something feels wrong, stop."
Kostas: "I think it's Obtenebration. I'm going to guess it's Sabbat"

KateFord: I hit the button to open it.
Kostas: I get into the elevator.
KateFord: over
DavidBancho: I'll do the same
Jason: The elevator opens, illuminating your immediate area.
Jason: The four of you enter.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: Everything is normal now?
Jason: No.
Kostas: "What floor do we want to go to?"
KateFord: Can I see the floor buttons?
Jason: Yes. The elevator itself is perfectly bright.
KateFord: Oh, I meant to ask if it was normal in the elevator.
KateFord: Okay, I misunderstood.
Jason: Yes, it is.
DavidBancho: "Please hurry. Time is of the essence."
KateFord: "I wish I knew which floor Adolfo's office was on."
KateFord: I'll just hit the floor my father's office is on.
KateFord: over
Kostas: "Kate, how long has your family been around the city?"
Jason: The elevator's doors close and it begins its ascent. Each floor brings a pleasant ding. The four of you look around, even less comfortably than before, especially considering the blood splattered all over Kostas' body.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: "A long time, almost as long as the city's been here."
Kostas: "Do you know of any enemies your family has made recently? I'm going to take it they're pretty influential here."
KateFord: "No. I mean, my parents weren't attacked, Adolfo was."
DavidBancho: "How did your father meet Adolfo?"
KateFord: "When he started his charity, he needed someone with experience in the field to run it. I guess Adolfo is a well-known philanthropist or something."
KateFord: "I've never actually met him."
Kostas: "I guess I know that Adolfo has to be the center of this. I just don't know if your family is related at all."
KateFord: "It could have something to do with his work for Professor Lennox."
KateFord: "All we have are theories now."
DavidBancho: "Adolfo wanted me to come to this city."
KateFord: "Was Adolfo trying to escape someone?"
DavidBancho: "There can't be any other reason for the name of your father's NPO."
DavidBancho: "I'm not sure."
Kostas: "Has Adolfo been around for your undead life, David?"
Kostas: I can't believe I just asked that
KateFord: unlife
DavidBancho: "Tonight was the first time I had seen him in over 60 years."
Jason: Ding.
KateFord: "Something must have happened."
Jason: Thirtieth floor.
Jason: The door opens.
Jason: Your father's office is down the hall, Kate.
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: "LADIES FIRST."
KateFord: I look back and motion my head for the others to follow me.
KateFord: I walk toward the office.
DavidBancho: I follow Kate.
Kostas: I follow Kate.
Kostas: Over
Jason: You can hear shouting and loud noises coming from the room.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: Is there a window I can look through?
Jason: Nope, it's just a closed door at the end of the hall.
Kostas: "No time like the present, I guess."
KateFord: I'll get close and listen, then.
Kostas: Wait
KateFord: over
Kostas: I'll follow Kate but I'll use Auspex to hear into the next room.
DavidBancho: I'll transform into an adamantium golem.
DavidBancho: jk lol
Jason: Kate, you hear muffled shouting and crashing, still.
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: "We don't have time for this! Adolfo could be in danger!"
DavidBancho: I'll open the door
Kostas: "Someone is questioning Adolfo forcefully in there."
Kostas: "WAIT."
DavidBancho: And rush into the room.
Kostas: fukk
KateFord: I reach out to stop him!
DavidBancho: over
Kostas: I guess over.
KateFord: over
Jason: David forces open the door and you instantly see Adolfo running inhumanly fast around the room, dodging a goateed, heinous man, dressed in a dark suit. The man lands on Kate's father's desk and and squats alertly when you all enter. Adolfo throws himself against a wall and sinks, exhausted. He shouts "David!"
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: I'll rush to Adolfo's side.
DavidBancho: "Are you alright? What on earth is going on?!"
Kostas: I'll also rush to his side and draw my pistol.
KateFord: I have no idea what to do, so I just stand, staring at the scene before me.
KateFord: over
***Jason rolls 7 10-sided dice: 7 6 1 9 1 1 9
Jason: The man, whom Kate recognizes as Luca, throws a knife at Kostas when he sees him draw out his gun, but misses.
Kostas: I'll fire at Luca
Jason: Adolfo clutches your arm, David, and says "You must leave. Now."
Jason: "Get out, as fast as you can."
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: "I can't do that."
Kostas: I'm firing at Luca.
Jason: All right, then combat is starting.
DavidBancho: "I've spent 60 years trying to figure out what happened on that U-boat, Adolfo."
***Jason rolls 5 10-sided dice: 4 8 4 2 10
KateFord: Do we roll initiative?
Jason: I just did.
KateFord: Oh!
Jason: Luca: 7 + 10, Kate, 5 + 8, Kostas: 6 + 4, David: 5 + 4, Adolfo: 6 + 2.
Jason: Oh, Orson is here too!
Jason: eh heh
DavidBancho: Yeah!
***Jason rolls 1 10-sided die: 10
KateFord: Orson was too fat to take the elevator.
DavidBancho: oh fuck yes
Jason: Orson: 7 + 10
Jason: Orson looks around, dumbly.
Jason: Luca jumps off the desk, and his eyes between the three of you, then he spots large Orson.
DavidBancho: "Orson, help us! Protect Adolfo!"
DavidBancho: Guys
DavidBancho: Orson looks like Tony Stark
DavidBancho: He has a pencil thin mustache/goatee and dark short hair
DavidBancho: That was the description I gave Jason.
Kostas: So what the fuck is going on?
Jason: Luca backs away to the full-wall windows of James Ford's office and kicks out an entire frame with the heel of his foot. He looks back to Adolfo and says, in heavily accented, broken English: "I am your sin, and you will never escape me."
Kostas: oops
Jason: Then he falls backward, down, down, down into the street below.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: "Man, that is going to cost a lot to replace."
Kostas: "Oh yeah I shot him with mind bullets first"
Kostas: I didn't say that in-character I was quoting my ooc speak
Kostas: "Adolfo, are you alright?"
Kostas: over.
KateFord: "David, you need to get Adolfo somewhere safe he can hide."
Jason: Adolfo struggles to get to his feet. He says with a thick Italian accent: "David, what are you doing here?" He looks desperate, cold, much less human than when you last saw him, David.
KateFord: "We can't just wait around here."
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: "I came here because of Brother's Onus."
DavidBancho: "I have so many questions ..."
Kostas: "I know somewhere safe we can go."
Kostas: "Hopefully you all trust me."
KateFord: "Is ... Is he going to be okay?"
DavidBancho: "Who was that, Adolfo? Why was he after you?"
KateFord: "He looks really bad."
DavidBancho: this isn't the face of the man that i used to kiss so much ...
KateFord: fag
Jason: Use Over, everyone.
KateFord: over
DavidBancho: over
DavidBancho: ovah
Kostas: Over!
Jason: Adolfo walks past you. "No, no," he says. He quickly tries to collect himself and his thoughts. "You, you must go. You must get out of this city. You can't be anywhere near him, or me."
Jason: "I have to go find the prince. I have to tell him."
Jason: He hears your suggestion, Kostas, and says "No!"
Jason: "I do not trust that man!"
Jason: "I cannot trust anyone."
Jason: He wanders out of the room, heading down the hall.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: "Wait!"
KateFord: "You have to wait a moment!"
KateFord: over
Kostas: "David, we have to get him someplace safe."
Kostas: Over.
Jason: He ignores you.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: I run up and grab him.
DavidBancho: I chase after him.
KateFord: over
DavidBancho: "Please Adolfo! I need your help. I can't cope with this curse anymore. It's eating away at me."
DavidBancho: over
Jason: He moves with Celerity away from you, Kate, slipping supernaturally out of your grasp.
Jason: He continues his way to the elevator until he hears David.
KateFord: "THE GUYS TRYING TO GET YOU MIGHT BE DOWN THERE!"
Jason: He turns around.
Jason: A blood tear runs down his cheek once again tonight.
Jason: "I cannot help you. Not now."
Jason: He opens the elevator and gets inside and quickly tries to close it to prevent you from following him.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: Is there any way I can stop the door?
Kostas: "Thirty flights of stairs are too slow for us to follow him."
Jason: Dex + Athletics if you want to try to stop the door before it closes.
Jason: Difficulty six.
DavidBancho: u gonna roll, brosef?
DavidBancho: I think you're closer to him than me.
Jason: Both Kate and David can try the roll. Kostas is too far.
DavidBancho: I'll roll then
KateFord: I'll use a willpower point if I can.
Jason: Oh jeez.
Jason: OK.
Jason: You can both roll.
***KateFord rolls a d10 3 times: 1, 6, 6, total: 13
***Jason rolls 3 10-sided dice: 10 9 1
Jason: You both run and make it in time. David desperately pounds the call button which reopens the elevator and Kate shoves her arm into the path of the door.
Kostas: I'll run after them
Kostas: Over.
Jason: "You must let me go, please!" he says pathetically.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: I step close to Adolfo and whisper, "I want you to get out of here alive and the only way I can guarantee that is if you let me leave first."
DavidBancho: "No! Let's work together."
KateFord: over
Kostas: "Adolfo, where can you possibly go?"
DavidBancho: "At least tell me what's going on."
Kostas: Over.
DavidBancho: over
Jason: Secret roll.
Jason: Adolfo turns to you, David, and you can see the pain and anguish in his eyes. He says, his voice quivering: "Please ... get far, far away from me."
Jason: You are so touched by his emotion that you grab Kate away from the elevator, and feel hopelessly obedient.
Jason: The door closes. He's gone.
Jason: You remain entranced by his request.
Jason: Over.
KateFord: "You fucking idiot, he's going to get killed."
KateFord: "There are guys down there waiting for ..."
KateFord: "Damn it."
Kostas: "I don't think he did that voluntarily."
KateFord: "I'm trying to save your lives!"
Kostas: "Should we search his office for any clues as to where he'll go next?"
KateFord: "I made a huge mistake and now it might get us all killed."
Kostas: "If as you said, he's not getting torn apart by that vampire as we speak."
Kostas: Over.
KateFord: "You can search if you want, I'm going down there."
KateFord: I hit the elevator button.
KateFord: over
DavidBancho: So, I still feel compelled to get away from him?
Jason: Yes.
Kostas: I guess I had no reason to say over
DavidBancho: "He wants me to stay away. He's only wants to protect me."
DavidBancho: "We should just let him go."
Kostas: While I wait for the elevator
Kostas: "There's nothing you can really do, I mean, the darkness almost stopped us. He's survived this long at least."
Kostas: "Our best bet is to gather some kind of information so we know what to do next. Can we go back to your father's office?"
KateFord: "You guys wait until I'm gone."
KateFord: "Look around, but try to keep things in order."
DavidBancho: I'm going to go back to the room.
DavidBancho: And snoop around.
Kostas: I'll go back to the room and snoop around as well.
Kostas: Over
DavidBancho: over and out
KateFord: over
Jason: Hmmm.
Jason: Why are you snooping, David?
DavidBancho: I know what he did to me
DavidBancho: And he told me to stay away
DavidBancho: But I don't see how that diminishes my desire to find more out about brother's onus
Jason: I see.
Jason: All right.
Jason: Both of you roll Wits + Investigation, seven.
***Kostas rolls 6 dice (D=7): 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9 => [Success: 1]
Jason: Kate, you see the elevator reach the bottom floor, then return back up. It opens for you, empty.
***Jason rolls 5 10-sided dice: 9 6 5 6 2
KateFord: I get inside the elevator and hit the ground floor button.
KateFord: I pray to God that I'm not too late.
KateFord: over
KateFord: Haha, oh man, I should have done something first.
KateFord: Oh well, nevermind.
DavidBancho: I'll go and take the elevator to the lobby; then I'll make my way to the entrance and leave the building.
DavidBancho: over
Kostas: I'll follow David
Kostas: I'll mention to David, "Do you remember that he said he was going to see the Prince?"
Kostas: Over
DavidBancho: "Hmmm? Who said that?"
Kostas: "Your sire."
DavidBancho: "Ahh, yes, I do remember him saying that."
Kostas: oh sweet great
DavidBancho: Hahaha, I thought Andre said that for some reason.
DavidBancho: Had to scroll up and reroll that part.
Jason: The elevator returns for the two of you.
Jason: Over.
Kostas: I get in the elevator.
Kostas: "What did you mean by what happened on a submarine? You said it back in the office."
Jason: Kate, the elevator opens once again, and Kostas, David and Orson step out of it.
DavidBancho: I sigh wearily
KateFord: "Do you guys have cell phones?"
Jason: Kostas and David, you immediately see that the lobby is perfectly clear once more, although there is a dead security guard lying on the floor.
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: "Adolfo and I spent years tracking the Brother's Onus down."
Kostas: "Yeah?
DavidBancho: "The Germans kept it in a U-boat that only went ashore to refuel. It was a remarkebly effective way of keeping it hidden."
Kostas: "Were you a concert pianist too at that time?"
DavidBancho: "I've never been a concert pianist."
DavidBancho: "Hahahaha
DavidBancho: "But it was my skill with the piano that attracted Adolfo to me."
DavidBancho: "I've had over a century to hone my skill."
DavidBancho: "But ... would you like me to finish my story or talk my experiences with the piano?"
DavidBancho: ABOUT MY
Jason: Suddenly, a black car pulls up in front of the building.
Jason: Its windows tinted.
Jason: Over.
DavidBancho: oh shit yes
DavidBancho: I'll walk up to the car.
KateFord: "Guys, wait here. I'm leaving."
KateFord: NO!
DavidBancho: Okay, I won't walk up to the car.
DavidBancho: over
KateFord: "Give me your phone numbers, I'll call you tomorrow if I find anything out."
KateFord: over
DavidBancho: Alright
DavidBancho: I'll give my phone number to kate.
DavidBancho: I'm going to go home.
DavidBancho: I'll go WITHDRAW some money from an ATM
DavidBancho: And call a cab and have it take me back to my apartment.
DavidBancho: over
KateFord: Well, if Kostas has no number, I'll leave then.
Jason: You guys are gonna split up, huh?
KateFord: I fucked up, we have no choice.
DavidBancho: My brosef is tired.
DavidBancho: He's gonna go back to his place and rest.
DavidBancho: Oh, remarkably
DavidBancho: wtf
DavidBancho: EBLY
DavidBancho: FUCK
Jason: It's not even ten o'clock, by the way.
Jason: In game time.
KateFord: Really?
KateFord: Wow.
DavidBancho: Well, I'm not sure what else I can do.
Jason: The concert began at eight.
DavidBancho: I'd go talk to the prince
DavidBancho: But Adolfo said he was going to do that
KateFord: Did Adolfo say that?
KateFord: Oh, I guess he did.
Kostas: 'IO'm here
Kostas: Sorry I had an emergency happen
Kostas: A kid tried to cut his wrists on another floor!
KateFord: Christ, man.
Jason: **college**
Kostas: woooooooo
Kostas: I guess I walk up to the car?
KateFord: No, you don't.
KateFord: I already told you not to.
Kostas: Oh, I had to scroll up
KateFord: We need to figure out what to do.
Kostas: Kate tells me not to go up there
Kostas: to the car
Kostas: So I don't do shit
KateFord: "Kostas, do you have a cell phone?"
Kostas: "The Prince is the next step either way."
Kostas: "No, I don't"
DavidBancho: "I'm not going to the prince."
Kostas: "You can call the University's number and leave a message for me at the Department of the Occult."
KateFord: "Alright."
DavidBancho: Hahaha
DavidBancho: What kind of University ...
Jason: The University has no Department of the Occult ...
KateFord: Yeah, that's odd.
Kostas: Oh, I thought I remember you saying that
DavidBancho: Santonna community college
KateFord: "I'll call Professor Lennox's office for you if I have anything."
KateFord: His office in the occulted Department of the Occult.
Kostas: I'm just being stupid right now!
Kostas: "David is our key here."
DavidBancho: hahahaha
KateFord: "Anyway, if I don't call you by this time tomorrow, come to The Abyss. It's a night club I own. I'll probably be there."
DavidBancho: It was named after the movie.
KateFord: If you watched that movie, it watched you, too.
Kostas: hehe
DavidBancho: Faculty members of the Department of the Occult spend a lot of time at The Abyss.
DavidBancho: They grade papers there and shit
KateFord: Yeah.
Kostas: WOOOOOOOO
Kostas: Fucking shitty night for me!
Jason: So, what is happening?
KateFord: I guess we're splitting up.
KateFord: I'm not sure what Kostas and David are going to do.
Kostas: I guess I'm going to head to see the Prince
KateFord: They should probably stick together, though, so I can contact them easier.
DavidBancho: I'm not going to see the Prince.
KateFord: asshole
Kostas: David is still entranced by Adolfo
Kostas: "I think Adolfo used some kind of sire link or something to keep David away."
Kostas: "I don't know if he can force himself to go somewhere Adolfo might be right now."
DavidBancho: "Adolfo is trying to protect me."
KateFord: "David, listen. I'm going to get to the bottom of this for you. I promise."
Kostas: "I'll go see the Prince. If I find anything out I'll let you know David."
DavidBancho: "Thank you."
KateFord: I'll head to the car.
Kostas: "Kate, you've been very helpful. Thank you."
KateFord: over
Kostas: I'll try to hail a cab.
DavidBancho: "Anything you can find out about your father's NPO would be extremely helpful."
Kostas: Over.
Jason: All right, so.
Jason: Kostas is going to the prince.
Jason: Kate is taking that black car.
Jason: And David is going home?
DavidBancho: Yes
DavidBancho: Oh
DavidBancho: I got Kate's cell phone number, too
Jason: Kate, you leave in the black car, heading off into the night.
Jason: Kostas, David and Orson all share a cab, which drops off David and Orson at their home, then takes Kostas to the Elysium.
Jason: End of Chapter.
Kostas: Orson, you fat pig
Jason: ALL RIGHT.
DavidBancho: Orson was so monumentally useless in this session.
Jason: stupid fat orson
KateFord: I think Orson scared Luca into jumping out the window.
Kostas: Oh fuck
Kostas: I forgot to move the dead body
Kostas: I was going to move the dead bod into the building instead of leaving it out in the open
Kostas: The dead fat guy
Jason: your fucked now
Kostas: o no
