The once and future Harem

[Zevox]

"I hope you're feeling better, teacher lady who follows Maya around!" Floris says chipperly to Ms. Shawels. "Hi, Sophia!"

Ms.Shawel stands up as Sophia helps her to her feet. "Yes, yes. We should call the construction company and report an accident. That's something productive and helpful." She says clearly abit shaken still.

"Hi Floris," Sophia responds, though she's obviously more focused on Ms. Shawels. "Yes, it certainly is. Do you have their number? You can probably get it from the crane operator if you don't. Actually, I wonder if he might've called already..." Sophia thinks aloud, looking over to see what, if anything, the man was up to.

[Illven]

Thank you, Mary.

She turns to look toward the scene of the whatever was going on out there.

Wanna go up to the roof and watch it all better?

Mary extends her arm. "Lead the way"

"Hi Floris," Sophia responds, though she's obviously more focused on Ms. Shawels. "Yes, it certainly is. Do you have their number? You can probably get it from the crane operator if you don't. Actually, I wonder if he might've called already..." Sophia thinks aloud, looking over to see what, if anything, the man was up to.

The man is currently trying to slowly slink away while everyone's attention is focused elsewhere. What do you do?

Sophia waves one hand a whips up a quick gust to discourage the man from leaving. "Woah there, buddy!" she says, flying over to him. "I know that thing isn't a car, but I'd bet that 'no leaving the scene of the accident' is still the way to go here, yeah?"

[Lentrax]

Mary extends her arm. "Lead the way"

Brooklyn takes the arm and begins walking down the hall, looking for the stairs. Right this way, my lady.

Episode 1 Scene 8

I think you get a sorcery teacher for a year, and if you want free therapy to make sure there's no trauma, but since you're an adult I think you can refuse the therapy. And if you want I'll teach you healing magic. Knowing it is a massive tax write off, tho you kinda are expected to help out if you see an injury. Maya comments to the short, now super strong blonde, whose name is Jessica.

Granted, based on how hard you punched, barely putting any magic into it. I'm pretty sure you're at the power level where you can tell the IRS to **** off. She muses out loud. To which the cops currently interviewing you about the incident roll their eyes at the blatant talk about illegality

Oh, and you get a free yearly week long trip to Hawaii, and if you decide to live there they'll pretty much pay you to live there. At this, she turns to the group.

Oh btw! I was thinking when we get our first vacation! She calls out loudly. Wanna come with me to Hawaii, I get to bring a few friends! She beams warmly.

"So. Tell me your view of what just happened?" The cops look down at all four of you.

Allure =d8 Make your best plea for them to arrest the crane operator. +3 VP with Maya

Skill =d6 Point out that there was no reason for the crane operator to be right next to the student lunch area and even if he tip the crane, he coulda ran some kid over. +2 VP with Maya

Luck =d4 Do something stupid, and don't get arrested. (They don't want to bug the sorceresses) +1 VP with Maya

[Xihirli]

Floris pulls a full sewing kit out of her backpack and fixes Maya's clothes. "So how does this work, anyway? Whoever we blame the hardest is put in a room? That sounds like a fun game, depending on how long they're put in the room! My mother started a similar game with me, where if my chores aren't done by the time she's awake, I'm sent to the Death Chamber where I can only escape by solving a series of puzzles and riddles! Ooh! I have a riddle idea!" But she forgets all about her riddle idea when she realizes she's finished fixing Maya's clothes.
She jumps out of the interrogation room and runs right up to Maya, interrupting whatever she is doing. "Here you are, Maya! I fixed your clothes! It's thanks for how lovely you've been to me." And Floris hugs Maya tight.

Okay I'm going to use Non Sequitor to do the Luck roll with skill. With Overclock's penalty that's a total of -3. But Shrine Caretaker gives me +2 on making repairs, culture enthusiast on the idea of prison for another +1, and since I'm pretty clearly mothering Maya, Yamato Nadeshiko gives me another +2. Combined with my strong skill, I will be taking my -3 to a total of +3 meaning I cannot fail to get a 4 or higher on the d6.

tl;dr Using skill on the luck one to auto-succeed the 1 VP one.

[Lentrax]

Brooklyn slinks away while the cops are talking to some of the others. Who cares about them anyway? Cops don't actually give a sh*t about most people.

Besides, there are far more... interesting things to be about.

Brooklyn walks along the side of the crane, and reaches down when she spots what she was looking for. Four cans of spray paint, in the colors used by construction workers to mark work sites and other things on concrete and pavement. She grabs them, and while she is fairly certain no one is looking, shoves three of them into her bag. With the fourth one, a sky blue can, she quickly sprays a tag she remembered seeing back in New York. No idea what it meant, but whatever. Something for the pigs to figure out, right?

She then leaves before someone points out the tag to the cops.

Neutral Luck. Screw the Police. Vulnerability. +4 total. Can't fail.

Sophia jumped in, interrupting Floris as she was misunderstanding the cop's question. "No Floris, they just want to know what happened. And I can totally show you!" she said enthusiastically, and began explaining what she'd seen complete with conjured visual aids, including a little diorama of the area to show where she'd seen everyone relative to each other, and a miniature crane to show what it had looked like as it fell. "So, crane's falling, Maya's trying to keep the new sorceress - oh, right, Jessica - from tossing it and hurting someone by accident, so I decide, screw it, I can't get hurt as bad as the others, so I start using my magic to help," she describes, conjuring up winds in the diorama to show how she'd tried to reinforce Maya and push the others to safety. "Jessica still manages to toss the thing though, but it only goes into that building and breaks some windows. The driver's thrown clear and seems cut up, but I head over to help bandage him, and Maya healed him later, so he's fine. Jessica's still kind of panicking and flailing though, so we try to talk to her to calm her, and Maya gets her in an arm lock until she finally calms down. Then I had to go over and try to calm down Miss Shawels, who was freaking out at every little thing Maya and Jessica said, she seems to be terrified of sorceresses - though just them, not all magic, as she's never seemed scared of me. Go figure. That took a while, but when she was finally calm enough to stand up again, I saw that the crane driver was trying to slink away, so I went and stopped him from doing that. I dunno, I didn't see him fall asleep like Maya says, but that does make him kind of suspicious to me."

After the cops get her account of events, Morrigan checks herself over for injuries and finds a couple scrapes. She doesn't wanna bother Maya about it right now, especially since it's minor and she's talking shop with another sorceress, so she swivels her backpack around and starts digging through it looking for her first aid kit...but everything's gotten so jumbled! After a minute or two fruitlessly searching through it by feel, Morrigan decides to just start pulling things out until she finds it. As a small pile of stuff starts growing next to her, she jams her hand in to grab something else out.

BANG

Morrigan winces as everybody looks at her. "Accidental discharge, sorry...oh hey, there's the first aid kit." She pulls out a 9mm pistol and quickly unloads the ammunition before setting it aside. She doesn't keep it loaded in her backpack, but when things jumbled...urgh this is gonna make it hard to keep herself safe...

She takes the first aid kit out and starts bandaging her now more serious leg wound.

Wait! You have a gun! Who the hell let you have a gun!? You're cursed! Maya breaks away from Floris to stomp over. "I'm confiscating this immediately! Maya remarks grabbing for the gun.

"Oh no! She has a gun, run!" Ms.Shawels shouts out.

I am literally less dangerous with a gun!

Floris frowns. She doesn't really understand this "gun" thing, it looks small but it sure seems like it makes a loud noise! Still, it's something that certainly seems to be upsetting Maya! And when someone is upset, Floris knows what to do!
"Let's go to my family home! I can make brownies for everyone!" Floris suggests.

Used to live in Brownsville. Some of these tags are only still around for murals, but to the right people, some of these won't ever fade away.

She pulls out her cigarettes, and taps the bottom so a couple of them pop up from the pack. She pulls one out for herself and then holds the pack out so the other girl can take one.

After she lights her cigarette(s) and puts everything away, she starts talking again.

You might get out, but you never leave the projects, know what I'm saying?

"Not far by carriage – perhaps a quarter day's travel," Floris says happily.

Well we can't all be. Nothing wrong with that.

She surreptitiously checks Crystal out, and then goes on. So. What can I do for you?

So.... 2 to 3 hours each way? Floris, I have classes

With another puff of smoke, Brooklyn goes on.

Because for one, you have to have a glimpse of the Sight. And the other... is not for wannabes.

"How about over the weekend?" Floris asks. "Please, my family would love to meet you."

[Zevox]

"Uh, yeah, maybe not the time Floris," Sophia says, shaking off her shock from what had just happened. "Maya, you can heal her, right? I don't think a gunshot wound is something you just want bandages for," she remarks, clearly worried about Morrigan.

"And, um, Morrigan? I dunno much about guns, but from what I've heard, aren't they supposed to have something called a safety, that would keep it from firing even if the bullets 'fell into it' somehow? Because if your luck made even something like that fail too, then yeah, it's just a really bad idea for you to have one of those."

Yeah, got to agree with Sophia here. Maya lets out looking at Morrigan's shin as she kneels by her laying a hand on it as her other hand goes for the gun.

"That still won't be a problem if I just keep the ammo in another pocket so that when big stuff happens it can't slip in. Besides it's not like anybody besides me is gonna get shot if something goes wrong."

How would you feel about a protection spell instead, I'd trust my magic, sooner then I'd trust your luck with a gun.

"Uh... what do you mean everybody? I don’t think they’d all fit..." Floris thought of how many people there must be. It was a lot. Probably thousands.
