Speaker
Hello mortals, just a quick disclaimer before we begin. This is a vampire podcast and as such we'll be dealing with issues like drugs, alcohol, mental issues, violence, adult situations, death, and of course blood. So enjoy the show!
Recording Mishaps and Introductions
00:00:33
Speaker
Hello, Craig. Thank you for joining us. Hi, Craig. It's all your fault. Hi, Quagg. Jesus, what are you eating there? Burger sounds like. Hello, everyone. I totally forgot to turn on the recording so you missed all the great content. But greetings, mortals. I see you listening at the door. Why don't you come in? I promise we won't bite. It's me, your humble storyteller.
00:00:59
Speaker
It was so sick! It's me, your humble story, Ron Bjorn. And we're just playing another set of integrated dice management presents Houston After Dark, a vampire that masquerade actual play podcast. With me tonight is the totally innocent Bill. Everybody, excuse me, sorry.
00:01:25
Speaker
Hey everybody, I'm Bill. I'm going to be playing Hugh Carter, local Australian man. I'm sorry, I'm laughing too hard to do the accent right now. Go ahead, someone else go. Also with me is the completely harmless Frank. Insert joke about Bill's beard being Australian outbacky crazy guy beard. And of course our perfect gentleman who had never heard fly Hayden.
00:01:55
Speaker
Hey, I'll be playing Lauren McDonald. This is the first time I'm ever playing a female, so we'll see how that goes. And of course, Jayden is watching a movie, Doctor Strange, so he won't be joining us tonight. And just in case everyone's wondering why we're laughing our asses off, I totally did this whole intro before and did not press record, which means there's
00:02:25
Speaker
The blooper reel is literally this reel this time. We have our very humpy DM to talk about that. I heard very humpy DM and I was like, yeah. We're starting a little late tonight. I've had almost an entire bottle of wine at this point. I have a joke.
00:02:55
Speaker
Go for it. Humbay. Hayden, Hayden, this is the first time you're role playing like a girl in- Yeah, that's why I changed it up because this time it's not gonna be the first time I play a girl, but who knows that? Well, I mean, I saw you that night, but- Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of things happened that night. But you're referring to, okay, nevermind. Yeah, back to when you were on a date and you came back with a girl and it was like eight, yeah.
00:03:25
Speaker
in an official podcast session, okay? We don't need to know what goes on behind closed doors. As far as I didn't recognize you in that wig though, that's all I gotta say.
Setting the Scene
00:03:38
Speaker
Sorry, lady keeps her secrets. Good answer. So we're gonna jump in to the session now. Today is Thursday, January 9th, 2020. Cloudy with light rain. Today's holiday, law enforcement appreciation day.

Speaker
and hashtag Pokemon Direct. Brittany Spears had a comeback movie on January 9th, 2020. I mean, I don't know when it was filmed, but she did have a comeback. Okay. Well, if that was in the top news, it would have, I'm sure it would have come up and I'm sure I would have put it in here. So it wasn't today. I felt like that was a great joke. I guess I'm too inebriated already.
00:05:23
Speaker
All right. Uh, so just get home. I don't like there's a reason he turned off the camera while it was driving. So no, that is totally not what happened. As soon as I walked in the door, I downed like a goblet, but it's not a goblet. It was like a quarter of the goblet. No. With the character you're playing, it was totally a goblet. So yeah, it's a goblet. All right.
00:05:53
Speaker
Let's jump into the game.
Warehouse Investigation Begins
00:05:55
Speaker
The camera pans over a dark rooftop, zooming out to show a group of warehouses in a dark parking lot. The nearly full moon shines in the sky, providing a small amount of light to the otherwise lightless parking lot. Inside one of those warehouses is a place we've seen before, and specifically a place that Max has been before, though under much different circumstances. The warehouse is mostly in place, mostly empty, save for a few chairs.
00:06:22
Speaker
I need to stop reading stuff. Mostly. If empty. For a few chairs, a TV and an office and a trapdoor that leads to a dungeon complete with chains, a hose and floor grates and plenty of towels. Max is not tonight. The other members of his code, which I don't know if I've ever used that term in this podcast, but code is the vampire, the masquerade term for your party.
00:06:52
Speaker
The other members of his coterie, except for Wesley, who has his own problems to deal with tonight, are there in the building. And they're all waiting on someone, a vampire named Olivia Taylor, who also goes by Cassandra on social media in hopes of finding out what happened to the person she was supposed to embrace and why they weren't at the meeting with the prince. What are you guys up to right now?
00:07:18
Speaker
You're waiting on this woman to arrive. She's supposed to be there at 10. I'd say it's like 9 50 right now. Are we currently in the other thing or is this us as like our characters? You are. You are the vampires. We. Yeah. Like the day of. Yes. The she has not arrived to tell you the story yet.
00:07:48
Speaker
What are you guys doing? Are you just sitting around on the couch? Are you like setting up a watch to see if she's going to show up or, you know, what's what's your plan with this? This is an abandoned warehouse. So the warehouse. So it's a parking lot. There's three warehouses. I'll give you a hint. This is a customer. There's three warehouses, two of them. Well,
00:08:18
Speaker
It's based off of a customer. Two of the warehouses are actively being used by other companies. And then this warehouse is owned by Hayden's character's clan, the Banu Hakim. This warehouse is owned by them and it's left mostly vacant and seems it's got a dungeon in the bottom of it.
00:08:42
Speaker
which Hayden, which Max is familiar with. This is the customer that has the the three warehouses in the blue trailer on the property. If it's a Magnolia, then yes, but I don't know. Do they have like a main office like right when you go in the gate? Like a bajillion rat boxes everywhere, too? Oh, it's not that one. OK. Yeah, it's one in Magnolia.
00:09:11
Speaker
Is the one you're talking about the one over in Crosby? No, not Crosby. It's over that area. It's in Magnolia, and in fact, I'm pretty sure even on the map when I... I don't know how to access that map anymore, that Google map, like custom Google map. I don't remember how I created that. I don't know how to get it back, and I haven't bothered to Google that, but I'm pretty
00:09:38
Speaker
It was literally that parking lots that we have a customer it's but it's on in Magnolia, Texas Possibly Pinehurst, Texas on highway 240. Is it a highway? Highway 249. Yeah, should you give that much detail? Yes, I definitely should We can always edit this out if they're they currently that they currently reside at 6314
00:10:13
Speaker
Okay, well I did this part out y'all were talking about what's her what's that? Are you talking about dr. Karmusch? No, no, no. No, this is it's over in Crosby It's like yeah, you coming through the gates you have that main office that you have to get which has a couple of boxes But then you also have there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know it's one year
00:10:33
Speaker
Yeah, they're like mobile unit and the trailer house, but it's essentially the same setup. It's a bunch of warehouses, except in this case, each warehouse is owned by a different company or whatever. And we service the parking lot. We serve as one of the warehouses. Okay. Yeah. The one, you know, that's owned by our customer.
00:10:56
Speaker
And so they're all active? Like the warehouses are active warehouses? They're not super active, but they are owned by a company. There's like forklifts and stuff like that around. So they probably have security cameras. Yeah, I would say they have security cameras, including the one you are in. However, the one you're in is owned by Hayden's clan, by Maxwell's clan. What do I need to roll to see if
00:11:24
Speaker
I can hack into the security cameras and keep watch. Well, first you'll have to roll to see if your curse doesn't affect you. So roll, I'm going to say this is computer or technology versus technology plus intelligence. Why is my screen so tiny? What's going on? Oh, there we go. First you need to do that roll. It's a difficulty two based on your
00:11:53
Speaker
your curse level. Technology plus intelligence. Intelligence, OK. This is a standard hacking check. Zero modifier? For this, this is just to see if your curse triggers. So yeah, zero modifier. All right. Yep, you got enough. Cool. Do you have two successes? I turn on the computer. Do you successfully?
00:12:20
Speaker
You successfully use your computer. Now you can actually do the hacking, which is also technology plus intelligence. But with a plus, I don't remember the specialty. I think it's a plus one bonus for hacking because you have a specialty in hacking because they're going to hack into their computer system. All right.
00:12:44
Speaker
Eight successes? I would say that eight successes, you have full control over their security system. And in fact, I'm going to say you have full access to both of these companies entire, like everything. They did not secure their servers at all. They left it at the default password and username. The password is just password.
00:13:11
Speaker
Yeah, that's the default password username, because password, password. Can I get their bank account information with that role? I'm going to say, put this in your notes somewhere, but you have a temporary $50,000 to spend. Can I just transfer that into an offshore account? Sure.
00:13:40
Speaker
You've got $50,000 sitting somewhere. Was I sitting anywhere close to him? Were you? I think I would have been. I definitely would have walked up behind him and I would have been like, hey, be sure not to put those cameras on fucking TikTok. What? Yeah, that's the last time that we hung out with the two. Is this is just like, like, I don't know that you would recognize what just happened.
00:14:10
Speaker
But, uh, I mean, I guess if you, I want to roll for it just to see if he would technology plus intelligence. I mean, yeah. If you want to roll to recognize what you, what he was doing. Any modifiers? No. Two successes.
00:14:35
Speaker
I mean, you can definitely tell he was in their bank accounts and stuff, but I don't think you would know specifically what he did. OK. I'm going to ask him, hey, do you know where I saw you pull up the cameras from other places? And I imagine this is our warehouse. Can you find out where Tiv is? I can check all the cameras.
00:15:04
Speaker
So your warehouse does have security cameras, but they, so with that eight successes, the warehouse you're in does have security cameras. It's not really linked to like any, like that the security camera is basically recording it and then they have to remotely access those recordings. So it's like a void bin type situation?
00:15:33
Speaker
Yeah, it stores them to an archive. And then if someone wants to access those recordings, they can. But it's not actually connected to any other company or anything like that. It's saving the footage to be reviewed at a later date. Probably, well, there's no computer in the office, I guess.
00:15:59
Speaker
They'll typically have a a a DVR type setup that it will basically say all the camera. Yeah, essentially. Yeah, it's just it's that's all this is like it's not connected to anything. You know, someone can access that with, you know, a proper, you know, blog in and password type of deal. Well, I hacked in with an eight. So do I? Well, I mean, yeah, you can look at old security footage all you want. I can't look at live footage. And live footage. Yes. OK. You would.
00:16:29
Speaker
You wouldn't necessarily with this role be able to tell like who else has logged into that footage necessarily. But like, I mean, there would probably be an act. Eh, it doesn't matter. Yeah.
Olivia Taylor's Arrival
00:16:44
Speaker
I mean, there, there'd probably be a list of IP addresses that have logged into the footage. But then I had to track them back to their sources and that's just too much work. It'd be, it'd be more work, you know.
00:16:55
Speaker
Um, is there, is there one that's time stamped recently, like within the last, however long we've been here for. I mean, yeah, you can look at that and you can also look at the live footage, like the cameras you've got full access to the cameras and any, any footage like you can, you, you can totally see Maxwell naked in the, the, the dungeon down below, um, getting water through, you know, getting sprayed down with a hose while he's like, you know,
00:17:23
Speaker
changing into a vampire, all of that good stuff. You could totally watch all of that if you had time. But that wasn't on. Is it earmarked? Can I just earmark that? It's not earmarked, but you do know that all of you were turned on New Year's Eve. To be fair, Max knew of this location, but you don't know why he knew. Now or why? Okay.
00:17:51
Speaker
So you probably wouldn't know to look for it anyways. Yeah. All right. So I want to see if there's any recent time stamps as far as people accessing the camera systems. The last. OK, the last one, I guess, would have been on New Year's Eve. OK, so nothing within the last like couple of hours. Yeah, or yeah, New Year's Eve. Technically, I guess it would still be New Year's Eve to New Year's Day, you know, the whole midnight.
00:18:21
Speaker
After midnight, it's the next day type of thing, you know, in that nighttime period. Okay, so I want to set up a routine to notify me if any access to the security cameras or archive footage occurs. And then I want to pull up the current security footage. Hold on, I'm trying to type this. I didn't have that much to drink.
00:18:50
Speaker
Why is it hard to type? OK, Frank set up a routine to get an alert if anyone accesses the footage at Hayden's turn location. OK, that's a note for later. That $50,000 I took, was that from Hayden's clan, or was that from one of the other businesses? No, that was from the other two businesses. OK, was I able to access their cameras too?
00:19:20
Speaker
Oh yeah. You can see all the, all the cameras in the whole area. You, you hacked into their wifi networks, you know, all of that good stuff. They have active wifi. Um, this warehouse does not have wifi. You had to hack into this. Well, really you didn't even, I guess you had to do a little bit of hacking to get past the password, but like you just plugged directly into this, this network. Like there's no wifi. You've just got the router, you know, the modem sitting right there or whatever a security camera would be connected to.
00:19:50
Speaker
You can just plug in straight to these cameras, essentially. With eight successes, I think I just typed in password, password to see if that would work before I even tried. You got in with no issues on all three networks.
00:20:04
Speaker
Okay on my laptop screen you can see a bunch of cameras from a bunch of different angles around the three different Who all is observing these cameras and or is? Observing the situation in general outside would be because I asked the question. Yeah, so you're looking at the cameras. Yeah Are you looking at the cameras? Yeah, there's no windows on this building. It's a warehouse so
00:20:32
Speaker
Unless you're outside, you're looking at the cameras. Actually, you know what? While they're all inside, I'd probably be trying to stay hidden, but over at the entrance. Trying to get an eye out for stuff. It's going to be, I think it's stealth. Stealth plus dexterity to see how well you're hiding yourself.
00:20:57
Speaker
Okay, this is that one. Okay. Okay stealth Okay Hey Maxwell, what's your vision like? Are you like 2020? I would imagine Huh Do you want to climb up on the roof and just keep an eye out or does the vampire's vision improve when he dies? Or does it stay the same? That's a good question. There it is. I
00:21:25
Speaker
I mean, because I assumed I was still wearing my glasses. Yeah. Technically, you stay locked in the body that you were in when you died. So unless you have a power that boosts your vision. Yeah, you have the vision. Your eyeballs would be the same as when they died. Saturday. Why do I keep having to change this? You submit. It's it's submitted for me. I got nothing.
00:21:54
Speaker
I got to. I'll go ahead and grab a yellow safety vest and climb up on the roof. Was. Oh, no, Max, you got two successes, so you at least are somewhat stealthy, but Jerry. Oh, no, that that was for to understand what was going on the computer. Oh, you're right. Yeah, Jerry, stealth roll zero successes. Jerry, you're hiding in the corner very poorly.
00:22:25
Speaker
You're standing in front of the door behind an orange safety cone. Yeah, exactly. Well, you know what? Since I'm not hidden well, I'm going to choose to see everything, and I'm going to use Sense the Unseen. I have a question. Let me check what that does. Go ahead.
00:22:47
Speaker
So, I mean, yes, Jerry failed his hiding, but does he think he's hiding well? Yeah, it's the question. Yes. You would generally believe that you are doing, if not well, you would believe that you are hiding.
00:23:06
Speaker
So you would, Jerry, you think you're hiding. So would you still want to see everything while you're hiding? Yes, absolutely. That's the whole, that's the whole reason I'm over here. I want to be able to see everything coming. Okay. You said because you aren't hidden, you want to see everything. Stop, stop nitpicking over everything. I fucking saved Frank. Okay. I'll stop.
00:23:34
Speaker
I'm trying to decide if you would see anything interesting with Since the Unseen. And I think that's wits plus blood sorcery, right? No, it's wits plus all specs. Ah, OK. Wits plus. I don't have that one on here.
00:23:58
Speaker
How many ranks do you have in all specs? See, that's just it. I'm trying to find all specs, but I'm actually not finding them. So you would scroll down to where it says disciplines, and then you would actually roll using that. Oh, OK, OK, OK. So that plus widths. OK, got it. Click the second dice, the one on the far right, because that one. Oh, you'd have to create the roll. So click.
00:24:24
Speaker
So here I'll just do this role for you real quick with plus discipline. I just created the role for you and then you click the far right dice. Got it. Okay. Now I see what, now I see what you mean. Yeah. For modifiers, there's no modifier, right? No. Only if you have like a specialty in sensing things. Two successes. Um, let me double check this character sheet over here. Uh.
00:24:56
Speaker
And if anyone's watching this like on a camera or anything like that, you're going to you're going to instantly see that Jerry's eyes go big in anime. Nice. Power of God and anime on my side, boys. So while this is not technically unseen, anyone observing the camera and or the outside directly give me a not counting bill.
00:25:23
Speaker
Um, give me a awareness plus wits rule. I think that's your average, um, spotting stuff. Check. So two successes from Cole three six. Okay. So everyone's going to see this basically. Um, Jerry, because you've activated a power to do this, I guess you notice this first. Um, but you're hiding in the corner.
00:25:55
Speaker
So I don't know why you would notice this necessarily. I thought he was just standing behind a giant orange safety cone. Sure, he's looking behind an orange safety cone. Jerry, your mystical senses sense something approaching in a stealthy manner. Now let me see how stealthy that manner is real quick with her zero stealth.
00:26:27
Speaker
Once that selfie at all. So everyone sees this. So you do all of you spots in your various ways through the cameras or from the rooftops or whatever through mystical senses. All of you spot or sense a woman approaching. She does not appear to be hiding from you.
00:26:51
Speaker
her attention seems to be faced outward. Like she's hiding, she's trying to get to where you are without being seen. Now, she's doing a halfway decent job. One success is still a success. So like against the casual observer, she wouldn't be seen. But against the trained eye, definitely she wouldn't have succeeded. So if someone is watching her besides you guys, they know she's going into this building.
00:27:18
Speaker
I text the group and say, hey, she's coming into this building. Yeah, she does move very quickly. Like she's darting with supernatural speed from like building to building and then up to the front door, which is the only entrance aside from the I would assume there's probably one of those big like cargo garage doors. But she, you know, she moves
00:27:46
Speaker
with superhuman quickness. So you can tell she's she is a vampire. She's just not a stealthy vampire. And and she's like from what you can observe, she's looking around very paranoid, like before she makes like moves to knock on the door. She's like glancing behind her and stuff like that. And then she does knock on the door finally and say, you know, gives it a couple of taps. And she's down
00:28:16
Speaker
She's crouched down to the right of the door. And I'll say that the door opens outward to the left. I walk over to the door and knock back. She. I just opened the door. OK. You're on the roof. Am I? I thought I get out of fine. Then I get out of my bomb ass hiding spot. And I go and tap you on the shoulder. I'm like.
00:28:44
Speaker
Go ahead, stay at your chair, Mr. Wizard. I won't direct her to the man behind the curtain. Hey, everyone. So something happened with our primary audio recording, and so I had to switch over to our backup one at this point, so...
00:29:02
Speaker
Basically, it's a recording where all of our tracks are smushed into one, so I won't be able to edit out some of the background noises like Frank typing or people muttering in the background and stuff like that, at least not as easily.
00:29:22
Speaker
Sorry, if the audio quality goes down, also, it is this episode's coming out on December 20th, so happy holidays, everyone. Hope everyone's having a good time and happy New Year's. I think there might be another episode before then. Actually, no, there won't be, so happy New Year's. And back to the show. She does not make a move until someone opens that door. I think we'll see back then, I guess.
00:29:52
Speaker
I, uh, but I was like, let me know if anyone else starts showing up. I don't trust this situation. And then I opened the door like, Hey bud, how you doing? She looks at you and says, uh, what immediately punches you in the face. What's the name of my, no, she says, what's the name of my grandson? Now, to be fair, I also don't remember this name, but you guys just met the grandson last night.
00:30:21
Speaker
um let me uh find that name yes please thank you because i was about to say something stupid you say that i mean if none of us took notes i don't think we know what her grandson's name is no no no we would we would all remember because it was it was we don't remember because it's been over once yeah quite a while ago um you know bill was bill bill you know do we do we meet
00:30:50
Speaker
I'm sorry, everybody that said is listening. We've been gone for more than a month. We've started playing an avatar game, and I also got fucked up by dogs. So we've been out for a little bit. You can see it on FarmTube. What? Joseph, her grandson's name is Joseph. Oh, your grandkids name is Joseph.
00:31:15
Speaker
She's like, she does, she glances out towards like the parking lot and then quickly darts in. It's okay. What do you want? I'm here. You promise how to hurt my son. If you came, what do you want? Or my grandson? Oh shit. Guys, we were at his house. Yeah. Yeah. We were totally going to eat that guy.
00:31:45
Speaker
I walked away. Yeah, you stole my car. Then me and Max, we're going to eat that guy and 100% frame you. I totally remember that now. Yeah, just to give you a quick refresher, I don't think there was any announced plans of you intending to eat this guy. You guys were interrogating this dude because you were at her house thanks to Cole's
00:32:15
Speaker
uh, uh, ability to hack the system. You found out her last known address. You went to that address, found a guy who turned out to be her actual grandson. Um, you know, she looks like she's in her twenties. So obviously vampire, you know, whatever, but, uh, her grandson, um, and, uh, he gave you her number so that you wouldn't, uh, bother the family. And then she said, uh, don't hurt my family. Um, they're watching me. I'll meet you.
00:32:45
Speaker
So she's, she's paranoid that someone is watching her. Did we take the grandson? No, you didn't. You suggested that. I just listened to this episode. You suggested that, but y'all didn't do it. You suggested it. Yeah. Yeah. That was your idea. And you just, you were like, yeah, you were like, do we need a hostage? And everyone else was like, no, we don't need a hostage. She's already agreed to come.
00:33:12
Speaker
This is great. This is this is progressing perfectly. All right, let's keep going. So she Yeah, we were going to eat your son if you didn't show up. Well, I can don't say that to her. Did you say it? She's like, Well, I'm here now. Please don't hurt him. That's a good thing that you showed up. That's all I'm saying. Oh, by the way, I'm ever hold on. Let me look at the rules on this real quick.
00:33:38
Speaker
I'm sorry. Oh, sorry. I'm actually at. Let me just double check something real quick. Oh, OK. Wait, I think I should be at. Yeah, I'm at three hunger. OK, I'm not I'm not nice when I'm at three hunger. OK, camel's milk doesn't hurtle. Everybody. Who's in the room, which I think is everybody make a role, composure plus intelligence.
00:34:10
Speaker
Those are the top stats that in the top section of stats. Suppose you're plus intelligence. Zero modifier. Zero modifiers. Okay, we've got a six. That's pretty. Oh, okay. That'll be interesting. A six of four. And then I need one from, uh,
00:34:38
Speaker
Jerry and a two. Okay. Explain how, what a messy critical is again. A messy critical means that your beast is involved. Your vampiric nature is involved in this. So first let me see what she rolls. Crap. I just closed out the thing that tells me. Well, I mean, like, how do you roll a messy, like, is it like a zero or a one? So a messy critical is rolled when one of your hunger dies. So a critical hits is when you roll two tints.
00:35:08
Speaker
A messy critical is when at least one of those tins is from your hunger dice. Because for every point of hunger you have replaces a normal dice. Right. You take away one normal and add one hunger. Manipulation plus presence. So let's see how that goes for her. Oh, wait. Cancel. I got to click this one. That's not to ignore that.
00:35:36
Speaker
Manipulation plus discipline. So she's two successes. I'm going to say I'm going to follow. I don't remember the rules, but I'm going to follow D&D rules where if it meets, it beats. So what I'll do for your messy critical is you're kind of pissed about this, Cole. I am.
00:36:05
Speaker
Yes. Cause you got a messy, cool, which means your vampiric nature is an influencing what's happening right now. So you're, you're not happy. You're pissed about this because she's using all on the three of you and all of you managed to resist it. So you are not immediately drawn to her and thinks she's the most amazing thing ever, but you feel that power affecting you, the power that Jerry has used before.
00:36:34
Speaker
Um, I don't know who else and, and Jaden has used before. Um, so you know, this power is a thing and you know what it does and you know what it does to mortals. And she has been attempting. It's still active because she doesn't know it failed. So she's attempting to all the three of you and all of you passed. Curiosity would, uh, specifically, but I have recognized it. You probably would know exactly what that is.
00:37:02
Speaker
Um, and then specifically with Frank with Cole, he got a messy critical, which means his vampiric nature is, um, enraged by this attempt to manipulate your emotions towards her. Is she like standing just inside the door? She, she darted in the door. Yeah. Um, so like she said, explain all to me one more time. So all yeah, actually I'm going to, I wanted to do the same thing.
00:37:31
Speaker
Only not like, not like enraged like Frank. No, I like more like, Oh, that's cute. I can do that too. I want to see. Anyone in the presence of the vampire plot finds their attention and inexplicably drawn to them. Those listening to the vampires speak might suddenly agree on subjects where they once held different viewpoints. Well, this power doesn't call to cause wrapped infatuation. It is still strong enough to sway the minds of most. Um, however, you all succeeded and Frank, you succeeded.
00:38:01
Speaker
with your beast, which means your vampiric nature rebelled against what is happening to you right now. So I'm looking at the lasombra and it's like a lasagna. Yeah, you're a perfectionist thing. So I don't know how you want to incorporate that into it. Since failure is not an option, their blood will urge them to any act conceivable to reach their goals, whether at the moment or blah, blah, blah. Any setback has felt profoundly
00:38:31
Speaker
Yeah, technically use we won't use we've already until they all float Yeah, we've already said the water when it's ripping What? Sorry, sorry, I didn't realize my thing was down that's my bad. So we've already discussed that I basically get like super angry and shit. Yeah in a ruthless manner Cuz right, okay So like I like
00:39:01
Speaker
stand up and like I walk slowly to order eyes like, like, I kind of like try to, you know, make my eyes look kind of all ish. And when I'm as you're doing this, that whispering that you heard that you hear when you wake up, it is increasing in the back of your mind. And and at the moment you find it encouraging. The whispering that I hear when I wake up that Cole hears
00:39:31
Speaker
Oh, where are my special power things? Your that would be on the main on the core sheet discipline. You have not bothered to look into what the hell this whispering is. So on your core on your core sheet, go to bio and info.
00:39:50
Speaker
Yeah, well, you never told me I heard of whispering when I woke up, so I was like, No, it was cool. It wouldn't be on IO info beyond the character sheet tab and then the core tab within that. And he wants special powers which are under disciplines. What's the whispering saying? Yeah, Bill, you must have copy pasted that or something. OK, so I've got this thing under its potency, clan discipline, lethal body. Yeah.
00:40:20
Speaker
Um, so like, I'm, I'm, I'm feeling good about my actions. So I, you know, I kind of get up close to her. Um, and then I just want to like. Punch her in her solar plexus as hard as possible. Use the lethal body. Sorry. Ignore, ignore that. I hit the wrong button. I'm trying to maximize my shit. So on the left or the one.
00:40:44
Speaker
What? So lethal body does specifically affect mortals. But what is your goal in doing this? Are you attempting to hurt her or is there some I'm attempting to drive her to her knees. So like with what? Because she is a you know, she's a vampire that's older than us. Yeah. And probably quite a bit stronger. I don't have much in the way of like extremely damaging powers.
00:41:10
Speaker
So what I'm going to do is you don't have any points in intimidation, but I'm going to say make an intimidation plus. Composure, no, plus strength because you're punching her. So intimidation plus strength, but I'm going to give you a plus two bonus to this and I want to see how many successes you get. Intimidation plus strength plus two. Yeah. OK. Two successes. So.
00:41:39
Speaker
unless she makes a lot better than you. Where's her sheet? You will deal damage to her technically, but as far as the intimidating her down to her knees, she's got six dice, so let's see what happens here. You definitely deal some damage. It's a point of...
00:42:06
Speaker
The way damage works, because it's not lethal damage, because she's a vampire, it's superficial damage, and vampires then take half superficial damage. So she takes one point of superficial damage, and is not intimidated by this. Do you say anything with that? I say, how fucking dare you try to use that against us? Like, that's this.
00:42:36
Speaker
Let me see if she's got something scary that she could do to you just in return. This could be fun. Let me see what this does real quick. It's interesting sounding. When you punch her, she stumbles back a little bit.
00:43:04
Speaker
And her all does turn off. However, she doesn't look afraid of you. The punch didn't do much to her, didn't bother her that much. But again, she's a vampire, so punches against a vampire are not the best way to fight a vampire. And she says, I'm sorry. It's just my nature. It's always, I'm always doing that.
00:43:34
Speaker
Honestly, it feels kind of weird turning it off like I'm not. Honestly, I don't feel right turning this off. Do you mind? I turn to the left. Wait, let me check if she's got the beautiful trait because I know your character is straight.
00:43:59
Speaker
Oh, motherfucker, she's trying to convince us. I have a role ready to go because I was going to try to defuse the situation because I thought a fight was about to break out. Oh, it's all good. I'm completely immune to her wiles. Well, not completely. I would argue pretty completely. She's still highly charismatic. Not that charismatic. Just because you're not sexually attracted to her doesn't mean
00:44:28
Speaker
Her six dice of of her persuasion role won't affect you Good point. Let me find The looks merit real quick. I need to see how much this affects Frank's character Yeah right after she says whatever she's gonna say I'm gonna take my role It's advantages This is the first time I've actually used this it gives her
00:44:58
Speaker
Okay, plus two bonus. Yeah, no, Frank, you'll get to roll to resist this, but she's about to persuade you. I mean, this is what her clan does. I'm sorry, it's just, you know, I can't help it. It's hard to turn it off. Do you mind if I just...
00:45:26
Speaker
Like, do I have to, it's off right now, by the way. So there's no extra bonuses. This is just based on her pure charisma and stunning looks, specifically stunning, because that's a trait she has. Do you mind if I just leave it on? It's not really hurting anything. Frank, make a composure plus resolve roll. I don't have anything to counter it. I'm looking through all my shit and it's like,
00:45:55
Speaker
Is she, uh, is she only doing that to Frank or is she doing that to everybody? I mean, sure. She's doing it to everyone, everyone else. Uh, well, now this character is attracted to women. Um, so everyone Cole and Matt aroused check helping anyway. So Cole and max difficulty seven, um, uh, Jerry difficulty five. However, you can do a rouse check to give you a, um, hold up. Let me check this chart in the case of.
00:46:27
Speaker
jerry and oh yeah everyone so you can do a rouse check to give you a plus two bonus to this all three of you all right so what is the uh how do we actually get is there a button to now you uh jerry you get hungrier oh god damn it what are you at now oh i'm getting mean so
00:46:50
Speaker
What are we? What are we rolling? So everyone's going to get hungrier. Now you have your composure plus resolve plus two. Wait, real quick. Mine says rousing success. Oh, rousing success. Jerry, you're fine. Oh, OK. OK. I was about to freak out. God damn it. Composer plus what? Resolve. That is your willpower roll essentially to to resist. Oh.
00:47:21
Speaker
Also, so you can, it's called a willpower reroll. If you want to spend a point of willpower, we've never done this before. So looking at these, let me see who's rolled before we do any willpower stuff. I forgot to add my plus two for my success. So it's actually a six.
00:47:47
Speaker
It's not plus two successes. It's plus two dice. So quickly roll a 2d10. Oh, okay. Give me one moment. Let me bring up my, I haven't rolled anything. How do I make more dice? Cause I'm not very resolved. You did the hunger thing, right? Yeah. So when it asks for a modifier, um, uh, say modifier of two. Okay. And then roll it. Jerry, you passed.
00:48:16
Speaker
Nice successes. So Jerry, you've passed, Cole and Max, y'all are both fine with her leaving this ability on now. I'm going to reroll my willpower. So you do have the ability to use a willpower reroll. So on your character sheet under willpower, there's a button that says willpower reroll. Let me know what y'all do and y'all reroll because since I've passed, I actually want to do something back at her. OK.
00:48:41
Speaker
Um, do I, will that give me more dice because I fucking like, I can't make more than a, oh, wait, actually. So max, um, because of your hunger, the willpower we reroll will do nothing for you. Same for coal. Both of you are at hunger three. Um, so willpower actually won't help you in this case. Okay. In that case, uh, all three dice. Uh,
00:49:10
Speaker
So Jerry, you're the only one who resisted her all.
Interrogating Olivia
00:49:14
Speaker
And it makes sense because you have the ability to. So you recognize, you know, you recognize him. Yeah, so I'm actually. Yeah, you both are like with this. And Jerry, also, it's up to you in character whether or not you care if she has all turned on or not.
00:49:33
Speaker
See, I'm at, I'm at already at three hunger. I'm a little bitchy tonight. So, and, uh, one, I honestly want her to turn that shit off because I know how powerful that that shit can be. So I am actually going to use mesmerize. Okay. Uh, measure up mesmerize can be tested by fires. So one rouse. Let me double check the specific rules.
00:50:02
Speaker
Okay, you can issue complex commands to a victim as long as they have the subject's gaze and relative quiet in which to issue the instructions. That all flies. Instruction can be carried out immediately. First, you have to do a rouse check. Yeah, okay. Just bear with me a moment while I do that. So you stir the blood to... Come on. You do get hungry. Damn. Y'all, I'm at 400, so now I'm just straight up mean.
00:50:35
Speaker
So now you're gonna roll Jerry Under so you're gonna roll manipulation plus however many dice you have and dominate however many dots you have in that I have two so manipulation plus just manipulation with the two modifier and that rolls intelligence plus resolve and
00:50:56
Speaker
So out of curiosity, um, I've got like three dice on the mesmerize power, one next to the word memorize, mesmerize one next to manipulation and discipline and one next to the details. Uh, let me look at your sheet real quick to see what the heck you're talking about. Um, Jerry, this is the, probably the most powers we've ever used in a single session.
00:51:22
Speaker
Well, I mean, to be fair, I use Cloud Memory Mesmerize all the time. So I'm like the only one that does. The other two are the muscles. I'm like the whole... Your Dominate is level two. I'm not super muscly. Your Dominate is level two. So you can either do what I said and do manipulation with a plus two modifier, or you can click the far right dice next to memorize, and that'll also give you the same results. Okay, so that's the one next to Mesmerize.
00:51:52
Speaker
Now, Jerry, this will be very dangerous for me, but just a reminder, you can always do a rouse check to gain an extra plus two bonus. I just got a rousing success with a nine with the mesmerize, so I think I'm OK. Yeah, so she's she is going to rouse. Oh, my God, I got too many. She's open to leave them all. I can find hers first. Let's rouse her.
00:52:18
Speaker
That sounds dirty. I know. But it doesn't matter. She still gets a plus two bonus and then she has to roll intelligence plus resolve to resist whatever it is you're doing to her. So intelligence plus resolve. Where are the modifiers? Oh, there it is. Modifier. Ooh.
00:52:47
Speaker
I'm still not enough though she got a crits but not enough so what are your short instructions what is your sit down turn it off shut the fuck up all that's three sentences well yeah that's fine it's it's not a secret that's not three it's not three sentences one sentence is a sentence with only four words
00:53:16
Speaker
It's all simple, sit down, shut up, turn it off. It's one. If that doesn't work, then just turn it off. Yeah, no, she does all three of those things. She sits down, she sits down, closes her mouth, and you all feel the effects of her all turn off. And then I just go ahead and turn to the other guys. Okay, she's passive now.
00:53:46
Speaker
I turned to Bill and I'm like, Oh, Lee shit. Because I, I imagine that like I come to and I just go over everything that just happened in my last day school mind right now. I'm like, Hey, Ron, quick. Yeah.
00:54:06
Speaker
I've got a power called shadow cloak and apparently gives me a two dice bonus on stealth as well as intimidation versus immortals I wouldn't work against vampires. No just versus mortals Sorry, I didn't mean to cut in hate and go ahead. Yeah. Yeah, but I just go like holy shit Jerry what the fuck was that? That's kind of what my guy what my clan does
00:54:35
Speaker
Like, out of character note, I really need to level up my character. I have not done anything with him. Yeah. I've completely forgotten to do any of that. Well, actually, since I'm at Four Hunger, after you say that, I'm going to be like, yeah, yeah, I'm impressive. Shut the fuck up. Ask her the questions. Fucking shit. I just kind of walk. I just kind of sit in the chair over in front of the computer. I'm not doing anything at the computer anymore. Now I'm just sort of sitting in it, kind of being like resting bitch over here.
00:55:04
Speaker
Hey Ron, what would I have to roll? What would I have to roll to pull out a flask of blood and drink it? You've got it. Hold up. Do I need to roll anything? Let me. I would roll that you generally have a flask on you, which is one point of blood. Right. But do I need to roll anything to just take it out and drink it? No, no, you can just take it out and drink it.
00:55:33
Speaker
However, I'm going to, where is my note on how much blood you have. Oh wait, it's in my phone. I should probably put it on my computer. Cause I had like a wine bottle. Just out of curiosity, if I was to maybe want them to roll in like some kind of an insight on me, would that be doable?
00:56:01
Speaker
That would be up to whoever you're wanting to roll the inside. Frank, would you be paying much attention to Jerry? So he probably would have, after the enchantment kind of dispelled, that's not the right words.
00:56:25
Speaker
You know what I mean. He probably would have turned around and started walking back towards his computer, which you're sitting at. So he probably would have seen you while he was drinking his flask. Just on the flask, by the way, on the flask, you've got six points of six, you know, flask pools of blood left. Each flask is one point of blood. So you've got a flask on you. Unless...
00:56:51
Speaker
Well, you know, I'll let you say that like you can always have one flask on you. But if in order to have extra blood, you would have to say that in advance. So yeah, I need to get with what's his name. I got his name written down. Yeah, you were given way back when you were given a contact that might get you more blood. So I have it written down. Yeah. Rock Sampson. Yeah, we can look at Texas General Hospital. Yeah, we can look into that later. But
00:57:20
Speaker
You know, obviously that's no help to you tonight. Venture Brothers compound. Actually, I think you're the one that... I was. Yeah. I could tell him. You said it. I'm like, oh, fuck. I said that. But, okay. And I feel like Hayden, I feel like Max definitely would have noticed this. But if y'all could roll an insight on Jerry,
00:57:47
Speaker
Insight. What intelligence plus wisdom? Yes. What are they looking at? You know, what do you think the other staff would be? Because I don't know what you're looking for here. All right. Ron, they're most, most specifically, they're kind of. I don't know if this would be wisdom or intelligence. I think it probably. Are they trying to find out that you're hungry?
00:58:16
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. But it's very, it's a very specific thing. Yeah. It'd be inside plus wits. Uh, inside. Yeah. Uh, one success. I don't know. It's a damn thing. Zero sound max. You can tell the Jerry's hungry, you know,
00:58:38
Speaker
Y'all don't do that, but y'all do not do y'all do not notice it. Oh shit y'all I'm gonna let the players know is Don't let me get another hunger Yeah, oh, yeah, you're like wait Max what is your hunger at? It's at three three so I've been thinking about this um so for you
00:59:06
Speaker
Give me. Yeah, I was trying to figure out if I should feed off of the vampire right now. Give me an insight plus. Hmm, composure. And I'm looking at I'm looking at you all like a fat man looking at a Big Mac. I'm not even joking. So I'm trying real quick. So inside is one. What of the the the top level stats? What do you all think would be the best stat to determine the innocence of a person?
00:59:36
Speaker
Um, wisdom. Well, it's called wits in this game. Yeah. Cause I want this to be like a supernatural ability for him. Yeah. Give me insight plus wits. I was pretty sure that what I just wrote was that again, if you want, um, that's probably what it was. Uh, well you've got two wits as three insight. Yeah. Five dice. Um, yeah.
01:00:06
Speaker
to it was the difficult. So this woman, especially because she's a vampire, honestly, technically all vampires, but you know, she is a candidate for feeding upon now. This isn't what you're here for. You know, y'all were here to ask her questions and you and max specifically, you're not that hungry to where you would just mindlessly feed upon her, but you are hungry.
01:00:30
Speaker
Do I feel like a draw to it, like an abnormal draw? Like I've fed on humans before and so like... You know, vampire blood is definitely the most, you know, unless a human is like horrific, vampire blood is automatically more deserving of punishment than human blood. And this is something I like feel inside myself? Yes.
01:00:57
Speaker
And perhaps, you know, this isn't something you've ever, your character has ever like necessarily noticed before. And unless you take time to think about it, like technically speaking, you've, you've maybe, this has briefly crossed your mind for all the characters of the party. They're, they are corrupt beings, you know, that they, they are, are worthy of, of the, you know, you punishing them in such a way.
01:01:27
Speaker
simply because of their existence, they are corrupt. But she's definitely, you know, like with two successes, you know, that's enough to know that, yeah, she's done some shit. She's an older vampire than you guys. She's been around for a while. You know that this woman has done some stuff. This is when I, can I, I imagine,
01:01:55
Speaker
Do I have like a container or something like that? Like a small container? I mean, I've got a flask. He's got a flask, but. And what I'm going to do is I want to like try to feed off of her and then give some of the blood also to Jerry. OK. She so sit down and shut up, that's one thing.
01:02:25
Speaker
You guys trying to bite her, that's another thing. Yeah, I was trying to think about that too. Not gonna lie, I'm hungry enough at this point, I'm about to just attack. I mean, if Hayden goes for blood, that's gonna be open blood now. Your heart got to do a frenzy check. Yeah, I don't think I'd try. Yeah, Hayden, you are hungry, but you're still in control of yourself. Jerry, if he sees blood, he's got to do a frenzy check.
01:02:56
Speaker
Why? What was that? Because I'm at four health. Oh my god, Frank. I'm just saying. What was that? Why? He orders a pizza. He put it in the chat. OK. Your character orders a pizza. That's great. I don't use my name. Yeah. Some humans going to show up later in about
01:03:25
Speaker
You know, I'd love to say 30 minutes, but to be fair, it's going to be like 45 minutes to an hour. It's downtown Houston. Let's be honest. You're in, you're a Magnolia, but it's still going to be 45 minutes to an hour that that's just, you know, that's just pizza. Like let's say 30 minutes, but I mean, even Jimmy John's is slow as hell nowadays.
01:03:50
Speaker
Um, so without Uber eating some ketchup, all of this has happened over a span of a few seconds. She, she is currently shut up and sit down. So what are you guys actually doing? I, I order a pizza. Um, and I say there's a $100 tip in it for the guy. If he can get me, get it to me quickly. Yeah. You've got to, all right. You've got to spare 50 K. So a hundred dollars is nothing to you. Yeah.
01:04:20
Speaker
so hopefully i can get the pizza within the next like 25 minutes instead of 45 minutes all right yeah no so i guess i just look at the lady nothing has happened i look at the lady um and i guess i just start asking questions like
01:04:40
Speaker
Where were you? Why did you actually turn her? Where is she? Basically just the list of questions. I'm gonna roll my persuasion with charisma. Do I get my two modifiers for being attractive? Yes. Great. Are you kidding me? What'd you get there? Two successes. All right. Jesus Christ.
01:05:07
Speaker
As you're speaking to her, also give me an insight plus wits role. She looks at you as you're speaking. And does not respond. However, you look into her eyes. She would love to respond. Oh, and I look at Jerry and be like, Jerry, tell her she can talk. Please. Jerry, Jerry.
01:05:38
Speaker
Sorry, I had my sorry, I had my mic up. OK, Jerry, you hear us now? Yes, yes, I can. So Jerry's like just in the corner, just got his knuckle, just like the knuckle in his mouth. Just like y'all say that turns over, stands up, walks over to her, bitch slaps her and says, it's the fucking question. God fucking damn it. This is when I know something's wrong. Yeah, she she she, you know, snaps out of it.
01:06:08
Speaker
Uh, still sitting obviously, uh, and not using her all, but, um, she says, how is she sitting on the ground? She just sat down. Um, I guess like, is she, is she like crisscross applesauce or is she like sitting on her heels? Not on her heels. I imagine she has her legs straight out and her arms in front of her also on the floor.
01:06:30
Speaker
Her legs aren't straight out, but they're kind of like just she's not Indian style, but her legs are kind of like bent towards her, you know, her arms wrapped around wrapped around the knees is the wrong position. Like she's not hugging herself or anything like that. She's just she's sat in a, you know, casual manner. She didn't like weirdly like sit Indian style or sit like afraid or anything because she's she's not afraid.
01:06:59
Speaker
It's just mind controlled. And you didn't tell her to cower, you just told her to sit. So she's just kind of sat in like, I don't know, maybe like one leg bent the other one, like, you know, kind of like out a little bit, you know, just just I don't know, a casual you plop down on the ground, sit. To be fair for me, that would be in the install, but I don't know if that's true for everyone.
01:07:28
Speaker
She says, she says, look, I, I'm sorry that I, you know, I had that ability turned on. It's just, you know, I've always got it on. It's, it's, it's second nature. Wait, Hayden, what did you ask? I completely forgot. The, which time did, when you, before you turned to Jerry and said turn in a letter answer.
01:07:55
Speaker
Oh, I was just like going off on the list. I guess I would have asked one or two questions and realized she wasn't speaking to me. Yeah. Question, what have I asked first? I think I would have asked. Thank God, I'm not the only one who doesn't remember. Where were you exactly the night that you were supposed to turn? OK, she's like, look, it's it's a long story, but I'll tell you what happened happened.
01:08:24
Speaker
happened and the camera, you know, starts getting all wiggly and like we go into a flashback. So we, we flash back into, um, uh, I don't know, a week ago. Uh, and, um, it's, it's New Year's Eve. Uh, you are Lord only been a week. Yes. It's been really long.
01:08:50
Speaker
It's hold on, what was today's date? It was the 9th. Yeah, January 9th. So you are Lawrence Williams, the head of the vampire club at University of
Vampire Club Flashback
01:09:04
Speaker
Houston. And you're throwing a party for your club, a block party. I don't know why I called it that because really, it's just your club. Nobody else in the block is interested in you weird ass vampire. But but you're definitely taking up like
01:09:20
Speaker
Some of your guys, some of the people at this party, they're like intentionally taking up the whole damn block. Where are we having this party at? I don't know, somewhere in Houston. The block. I'm sure it's somewhere near the U of A. It's at one of the club members house. We'll, let me give my random name generator. It's at Sam's house.
01:09:48
Speaker
He's got a nice two story house. You know, it's not like, it's not a mansion type thing. It's in a nice neighborhood in a cul-de-sac. There's a balcony. If you've seen Eric Gonzalez's house, it's exactly his house. Yeah, it's in a cul-de-sac, two stories, you know, nice house, but you know, probably in the like $200,000 range.
01:10:17
Speaker
I was asking, after this block party, does it look like every single person exclusively shops at Hot Topic? Oh, hell yes. Oh, yeah. It's the vampire club. So, yeah. Oh, yeah. Now, as far as your individual characters, you can like, Bill, honestly, your picture doesn't match up with that. But if you want to be a Hot Topic guy, then that's fine. Oh, no, my description. No, my description 100 percent fits the bill.
01:10:46
Speaker
Yeah, interested in vampires, but more interested in the girls and the girls at the vampire club. Trust me, it's okay. The bro Chad that's that you the bro Chad picture you gave me. Yes. All right. So Frank, this is this is your party. We're zooming in on you. You've you've gotten a glass of of red wine that you've
01:11:11
Speaker
You know, you poked your finger with with a needle to drop of your own. No. You put my own blood. You put you put a drop of of Lauren's blood in, you know, Lauren, she's always down for giving you a little bit of her blood. You put a drop of Lauren's blood in the wine glass because, you know, you know, you feel like a vampire. And this, you know, what?
01:11:41
Speaker
This is now, this is a party, but what kind of music is playing at this block party? Dark clubbing music, because apparently that's what happens when you type into vampire music in YouTube. It's kind of like a almost like emo rave music. All right. I'm digging it. Yeah.
01:12:06
Speaker
I'm going to have to find some of that when I edit emo rave. All right. Yeah. And yeah, so you just, you know, you've got your, your glass of, uh, it doesn't have to be wine. Um, I don't know, but, uh, whatever it is, there's, there's definitely a drop of Lawrence blood in it. Um, and, and that, you know, that's just, to you, that's awesome. You're drinking blood.
01:12:32
Speaker
Um, just a little bit, but you're drinking a blood. You're totally, you're totally a vampire. Like, yeah. Um, what are you up to at this party? Fucking loser. I kind of like the cyber goth dance party. Hold on. Cops and songs. No, I'm looking at cyberpunk rave music.
01:12:57
Speaker
Oh, don't play any music. Don't play any music. I'm just trying to find something that'll... Yeah, anyways. Like, kind of like cyberpunk or cybergoth dance music. Okay. Like, if you've seen the video of the people dancing underneath the... And... You're going full blown like douche goth, okay. Here's the question. Okay. Are you dressed? We're rattling windows.
01:13:27
Speaker
Are you dressed in the picture I provided or how are you dressed? And, um, you know, describe it. Cause obviously the listener doesn't know what I provided you. I really don't like, no, you don't, you don't have to do that. You don't have to do that. I'm definitely wearing a cape. I kind of want to have the free S sleeve things. Dude, those are my favorite part of this.
01:13:55
Speaker
Okay, imagine imagine like your stereotypical cleric that comes to mind. Okay, okay. I got it. I got it. Remove the hat and make it all in black. Once you pointed out that that wasn't a cape, I was into this. Okay, so... Wait, is that not a cape? No, look at his arms. Look at his torso. Yeah. There is white showing through between his arms and his torso. Give me a second. Give me a second. Let me see. Let me see.
01:14:26
Speaker
oh shit those that that is oh my god are those are those just like long ass shoulder pads cloth shoulder pauldrons is what i called it earlier this guy is such like a vampire weeb it's like it's like cloth wings that come out of his shoulder pads imagine for the listener you're looking at this guy and it looks like he's wearing a cape
01:14:56
Speaker
But then you see the space between his arms and his body, and you see that there's not a cape behind there. These are just things draped down from his shoulders, that like from the sides look like a cape, but they're not a cape, they're some sort of shoulder drapery.
01:15:14
Speaker
Okay so to describe my character like that's that's a if you know what a shoulder pauldron is yeah imagine it's made of cloth and comes down past your arms yes and that's that's what he was wearing um so he's wearing like a a pirate white shirt
01:15:33
Speaker
With like the tie on the top and that's undone. The blouse. Pulled completely apart. The blouse, yeah. He's got a cross that's upside down. What? Like a gold necklace chain. What's the chest hair situation? It's tasteful. It's just past the edge of tasteful. Okay. It's just a little too much. He has dyed it completely black.
01:16:03
Speaker
dyed his chest hair. It's just the area around the general opening of the shirt. If you saw him without the shirt on, he's got mostly blonde with just like a pretty large triangle black. OK, so his the head hair is dyed as well. No, it's blonde. Oh, OK. OK. Oh, my God. His eyebrows are dyed black. All right. So he's wearing a white pirate
01:16:33
Speaker
blouse with the top undone upside down golden cross it's fake gold but you know it's close enough yeah he's got he's got like three rings on right
01:16:46
Speaker
Yeah, like three, like two on one side, one on the other. And they're all like skulls and like one looks kind of like a dragon. And then one of them has got like an upside down cross. It's just a cross ring that he turned upside down. Oh yeah, of course, yeah.
01:17:05
Speaker
Oh, yeah. He's wearing the weird trapezoidal thing, but it's open on the top. So it just kind of goes from like shoulders and wraps around. And it's just the weird, you know, quarter cape situation that he's got going on there. All right. Nice. So he's got some shoulder pauldrons with cloth all the way down past his arms. It's made of leather. It's not that stiff leather. It's that really like silky looking leather with like the red on your spine.
01:17:34
Speaker
Yeah. And some black pants, the same kind of piratey material, kind of silky almost. And some chaps, leather chaps.
01:17:43
Speaker
Oh yeah. If you want Tasha to give us some fan art, because I don't know if we have fans yet, but if you want Tasha to give us some fan art. I'm going to need fan art. I'm going to need fan art at this guy. Because you know what's even worse is that I'm pretty sure I knew this guy in high school. I'm pretty sure I was this guy in high school. Oh God, Frank, no. The TUNYBO is real, y'all.
01:18:09
Speaker
So what are you up to right now? And just keep in mind, this is a vampire club and you are looked to as the king of their vampires. So, you know. So the two story, the second story balcony. Yeah. The second story balcony, does it look out over the cul-de-sac? Yes. Or does it look out into the backyard? I'm guessing we've just basically taken over the cul-de-sac, right? Yes, of course.
01:18:37
Speaker
Got some really massive speakers. Um, we probably have like the DJ booth up on that balcony All right. Um, and I'm standing like right next to him kind of just doing the the fake DJ and vibe looking thing. Okay Okay, now you're up there doing the fake DJ and thing Lauren, where are you? That would be Hayden
01:19:07
Speaker
Oh, sorry. I'm not used to being called a girl. Yeah. In role play situations online. Are you up there by Lawrence? Are you down in the party? I'm probably down in the party. You know, I'm a girl. I guess she looks like she tried to be the spotlight of any social event by the picture that I have of this girl.
01:19:40
Speaker
She definitely looks like she's trying to. You're welcome to make up whatever personality you want, especially considering your backstory. Like in this picture, you can see that she is not wearing a bra like there's nothing, but like you can just assume. Yeah, she's she's seeking she's seeking Twitter fame. She's on the only fans for a show. That's a maybe that that's probably yeah, that's possible.
01:20:12
Speaker
Y'all give me one second. I'm so sorry. I'll be right back. All right. So yeah. So what are you up to? And what do you look like? So real quick, I sent a link to the Discord. For those of you at home, it's a cyber goth industrial dance music. It's a chick just dancing the cyber goth.
01:20:40
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I actually kind of enjoyed this industrial like music sometimes, like, especially if I'm like really pissed off, it'll just like really thump. I'm not going to play this because it'll record onto my audio, so. The one that's on there is not super like upbeat. It's probably something like a little stronger than that, but a little more uptempo. So you're asking me what I what I look like.
01:21:09
Speaker
Yeah. What are you up to? What, you know, what do you look like and what are you up to? All right. Um, so I'm of Irish descent. So I obviously have the red hair. Um, it's not like ginger, but it's like, it's like Auburn, I think is the more accurate term for her hair that I'm looking at. Um, and.
01:21:34
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, you don't have to go completely off the picture. I just kind of like me like literally googled. Well, I don't want Okay, I already told you. I don't want the audience know. So nevermind. I googled
01:21:49
Speaker
No problem. But yeah, and so I kind of like the idea that she does have like tattoos and lip piercings, or at least piercings on her face. She definitely has one up in her eyebrow and one in her nose. And so, but besides that, she's probably just out there dancing around trying to bump in with as many people as possible.
01:22:21
Speaker
because she has some nice abilities for stuff. Oh, by the way, all three of you, just so you know, on the details tab of your character sheet, if you scroll down to equipment, each of you has one or two pieces of equipment. Where?
01:22:46
Speaker
So on your character sheets for that character, on details, if you scroll down to equipment, each of you has one or two pieces of equipment, which may or may not come into play later. So, yeah, you're down in the crowd. You know, I don't know a crowd. There's like there are specifically 13 members of the club. So a crowd of other details. It should be under the details tab.
01:23:16
Speaker
I'm pretty sure I get something. Lawrence Williams, let's see. I got something. Character sheets, details. Yeah, so you've got something. I mean, yours is just... So yours says leather jacket. You know, interpret that how you want. Your clothing is thick. So your clothing counts as armor. Leather draping shoulder pauldrons. Yeah.
01:23:46
Speaker
Um, since Bill is not here, we won't ask him what he's up to. Uh, so, uh, Lawrence, you know, your friend, uh, from back home in London, Dexter is supposed to be showing up to this party. Um, you've been waiting on him to show up. Uh, you knew him from back when you were kids, you know, y'all kept in touch and stuff. He's not a, uh, a believer. Um, you know, he thinks the movies and the books and stuff are cool.
01:24:17
Speaker
Sure, but he's not a believer. He's a law student. He goes to Cambridge back in London. And I think Cambridge is in London. But he's definitely not a believer, but he wanted to do something fun this year for New Year's Eve. And so he came to America to hang out with his good old friend Lawrence Williams.
01:24:45
Speaker
So you've been waiting on him to show up and Dexter Chapman shows up on, you see him as he arrives in a taxi. And by that, I mean an Uber. An Uber drops him off, he hops out and walks in. He's really- Does he see me on the balcony upstairs?
01:25:12
Speaker
He does, he spots you on the balcony and it gives you the finger guns. And then he like, in the most cliche way possible, makes his way up to, well, to the door, to the house, like, you know, like pretending to dance and stuff. I don't know if you can see me on camera, Frank, but I just did a dance. I missed it. Do it again. Oh, I just did the, you know. Okay.
01:25:40
Speaker
You know, like moving your arms back and forth and stuff like she danced, you know, cliche, the most cliche way of like some dude moving through a crowd at a, at a party, um, and makes his way to the front door, comes inside. You don't know what happens while he's inside, but obviously nothing interesting happens. A couple of seconds later, he's, uh, he's up on the balcony with you. Yeah. And it's like, Hey, oh my God. Hold on.
01:26:09
Speaker
Let me get into British mode. I can't do a British accent. Uh, uh, hello chum. How are you doing? Yeah. Hi. How are you doing? This, uh, this, uh, a really, uh, uh, a dapper party you're throwing here.
01:26:50
Speaker
I think Frank meeting himself to laugh. You're still muted, by the way, Frank.
01:27:02
Speaker
All right, I'm back. Oh, Bill's back.
Accent Adventures and Humor
01:27:05
Speaker
He wanted Frank, not you, Bill. Frank has muted himself as he laughs before he attempts a British accent. So here is Frank attempting his British accent. I keep doing Australian accents when I try to do it. Go for it. Just do whatever you do. I have to pee, so hurry up and respond so I can run off first. Can you do that in my mouth?
01:27:30
Speaker
No I'm giving out my blood and you won't pee in my mouth. What this is messed up, man. Look, I'm I'm the I'm God. Okay, so, you know, it's I'm God and I am way off the second. I did say at the very beginning of this recording in version 1.0 and 2.0 that it was raining tonight. It's
01:27:58
Speaker
Uh, it is light is cloudy with light rain. So, you know, open your mouth to the sky. Hayden, that was Indian. Hold on. I'm getting close to Jesus. You can do it. Frank. Hello, governor. Bill, stop. You're distracting. You're distracting him. Just go for it. You just got it. It's going to be terrible. So go for it. None of sir. Actors.
01:28:29
Speaker
You're muted. You're muted. We can't hear you. Cannot hear you. Oh, okay. He's making hand gestures. You know what? When Dexter asks, you know, how's it going or whatever the hell I said. Scene flashes. Bill, what is your character up to? Describe what you're doing, what you look like tonight. And I'm going to go to the bathroom.
01:28:57
Speaker
So I'm going to miss this all, and it's going to be a mystery to me. OK, I'm looking pretty douchey. I'm trying to fit in as best I can, except I'm not at all. College bro, like the kind of air, you know, the spiky college dude bro hair. And no frosted tips. A little classy, at least.
01:29:28
Speaker
And I'm wearing a black polo with a color. Frosted tips, like, diaphragm frosted tips, or, like, toned down a little bit? No, no frosted tips. I'm a little bit classy. I'm not entirely a dude, bro. But I do have the color of my black polo flipped all the way up. Yeah, yeah. And I'm kind of, you know,
01:29:59
Speaker
kind of I'm honestly I'm here for Lauren because you know she's she is she's the apple of my eye but I'm also kind of looking around and check out some of the other some of the other fine fine-looking individuals at this vampire club party looks like
01:30:24
Speaker
Make my way over to the punch bowl, I'm sure they're serving something douchey vampire club related like Bloody Mary's or some stupid shit like that. Like beer and clamato. I just kind of pop it, pop in on random dance groups, just like grind and just like start grinding, you know, entirely, entirely unwanted, unrequested. Wait, you're grinding on people?
01:30:53
Speaker
Yeah, just kind of jumping into like dance into like dance groups just like grinding, you know, like Yeah, and I'm you know, and I've got like like a Michael motto I'm sure is that she vampire club college vampire club drink. I'm just like Tops mate. I tops No Hello
01:31:25
Speaker
You sound like you're like milliseconds away from jizzing your shorts. Do any of you know what a Chicago accent would be? What do people from Chicago sound like? What's, you know, a Bostoner? Boston. Probably some gunshots involved. What are you doing? All right. I just noticed that
01:31:50
Speaker
Forget about it. That's where vampire girl Olivia is from. Anyway, I'm from Chicago. She's from Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago. Chicago.
01:32:20
Speaker
I missed everything that Bill was doing. Bill, were you done? Yeah, I'm done. I pretty much described a typical college dude bro douche that is like vampire movies, but that's about the extent of like vampire. Yeah. And mostly here for Lauren or any other girl, he might be able to. There's lots of goth people around. Well,
01:32:43
Speaker
I say lots. There's 13, specifically 13 people in the vampire club and then guests. So there's more than 13 people here, but, but only 13, you know, only 13, 13 is allowed in the vampire club. Um, and then there's, then there's the, uh, the guests, which, you know, range, you know, to several more than that. Um, and, uh, um,
01:33:11
Speaker
Yeah, so the party's going, people are dancing and stuff. Dexter just showed up and he made his way through the crowd and went upstairs to go meet up with Lawrence. Frank, were you ever ready to respond to this question on how's it going, Nate, or whatever? Yeah, fuck it, I'm good. Let's go. You're good? All right. Yeah. Was that your response? No, it would have been something along the lawn, but it's bloody good to see you, Nate.
01:33:41
Speaker
Bloody good, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. You hit Southern real hard. Oh, you're talking British. I didn't know you were talking Southern.
01:34:09
Speaker
Uh, sorry. I've been watching those, uh, those Western flicks. King of the Hill. Um, I love that boy. Oh my God. I just said that. Yeah. Okay.
01:34:40
Speaker
Yeah. So if we have any listeners, we're not actors and we're terrible at this. Um, so yeah, honestly, we're, obviously we're like three brain cell brain cells short of a whole person. Yeah. Agreed. Um, so, uh, Dexter, you know, we each have three brain cells and they're all competing for second place. Yeah. I guess he's going to go enjoy the party. You know, I don't know if Lawrence is.
01:35:07
Speaker
gonna stay up on the balcony surveying his kingdom. But Dexter is like, after a while, he finds it awkward to just stand on the balcony. And so he goes downstairs to like, dance like Batman. So Dexter, he's here to have a good time. Like he's he just wants to party like, he's tired of his like stuck up lawyer friends. His mom really didn't want him to go to America for this party. So obviously,
01:35:37
Speaker
That meant he needed to go for this party. He came for solely this party and that's it. He's here for three more days. Like he's, yeah, literally he came for new years and then he's staying for, um, so Lawrence, you would know this Dexter is supposed to fly home on the second. So day after tomorrow. Um, okay.
01:36:05
Speaker
Yeah, so he's like here for tonight and then the whole day tomorrow and then and then he's flying out sometime on the second. You know what I find funny is like Nina can do voices like across the entire board of everything. Well, you're like every time I try is a goddamn master's degree in theater. So yeah, she can do voices.
01:36:26
Speaker
Every time I try to do a voice, it either turns into some weird combination of like Australian and Southern. Yeah. Or it turns into Indian or it turns into Irish. Yeah. Yeah. I, you know what? You were doing this one elf. You did this one, like, I think it was a dwarf voice one time and he almost sounded Jamaican. I remember that. I asked her one time and she wanted to like be on our podcast and
01:36:56
Speaker
She was interested and then I was like, this was a mistake. She's of a much higher caliber than the rest of us. Yeah. She would, she'd be like the fucking straight into the voice acting. Like, I mean, honestly, we could get her in here and do like voice acting lessons from her. And then we would be like so much. I feel like people are going to appreciate our shittiness. So, um, uh,
01:37:25
Speaker
Where what? So he went down to the party. The party's going home for a little while. You know, is anyone doing anything specific in this party?
Party Dynamics and Relationships
01:37:34
Speaker
At some point, I pause the music and I like lower it down and I look out on the very small crowd and I say, are you not entertained? They cheer most of them. They are into it.
01:37:52
Speaker
And then I turned the volume like, after you hear the main, the main group of everybody cheer, you hear one Australian man going woo. So a bulk of these people, essentially they worship you. Like you are their vampire Lord. Who's not actually a vampire. You're their vampire Lord and they are your, you know, your, your, your, you know, thralls you're their vampire. Yeah. Um, so.
01:38:21
Speaker
Yeah, next year. They fully drank this douche Kool-Aid. Oh yeah, now they're into it, at least for this party they're into it, like maybe in real life, they're like, we don't know this man. But like, when they're like, they're at a vampire function, a quote unquote vampire function, they're like, yeah, this is our vampire lord. He's, you know, you know, whatever. Drink our blood, blah, blah, blah. You know, that kind of stuff.
01:38:50
Speaker
Now, to be fair, only Lauren actually offers upper blood to you. But, you know, anyone else there, that they're just, you know, they're there for the fun of it. They're there for the fun of pretending that you're all like, that Lawrence is like this big vampire dude and they're his minions or whatever. And then, of course, we've got Hugh here who, you know, he likes vampire stuff, but
01:39:21
Speaker
This whole, you know, like you're dancing, like you're enjoying yourself, but man, every now and then that, like you catch that red in the distance and it holds your eyes for a minute. You know, Lauren, Hugh, you know, this might be the night, like do you have the courage, Hugh? I see your eyebrows, but our listeners cannot see those eyebrows.
01:39:53
Speaker
Yeah, that red I'm seeing, is it a certain red hat? Well, yeah, yeah, that's what I was alluding towards. She's an interesting party. Is this your night? Is this your night? Are you going to chicken out like you've been every single night? Nope.
01:40:14
Speaker
Nope, nope, my education, hey, I've only got six more months in this country before my school visa's out, okay? This is, if I wanna find out if I'm gonna be, if this is gonna be serious, I gotta find out now, now or never. So, you know, I'm kind of just gonna dance through individual, individual groups of, I'm sure, like, goth dancing individuals, you know? And, you know, me just 100% not fitting in, just coming like, but never taking my eyes off the target, you know?
01:40:43
Speaker
like the hunt Lauren uh Hugh is approaching you know he's dancing his way towards you Lawrence I hope I see him Lawrence you see this you could give a shit well damn buddy
01:41:09
Speaker
It would not. It would not. You know, why don't you tell me how you really feel? You're damn so smart. Hold on. Let me look at some stats real quick. Lawrence, give me a this is just for later. What is an ego? What what do you what stats do you all think would have to do with ego? How how like egotistical is Lawrence?
01:41:37
Speaker
I think it would probably be... Awareness plus charisma. I feel like that sounds right. Sure. Uh, so Frank rolling awareness plus charisma for Lawrence. Let's see just how egotistical he is. Why do you have a boot knife in your mouth, Frank? I don't know. I have a bunch of stuff on my desk and so I'm playing with everything.
01:42:05
Speaker
OK, so Lawrence. Wow, you really min max this. Yeah, with three successes, I'm going to say you're fairly egotistical. You could you could honestly give a shit if about Lauren emotionally, but. She is a hobby. She is. She is yours.
01:42:31
Speaker
So, you know, granted nothing's happened yet, but just keep that in mind. Lauren, Lauren is yours. Okay. Yeah. So Hugh, you're approaching Lauren.
01:42:43
Speaker
in your, you know, dancing way. And you know what? That's, you know, at some point I'm just going to realize, wait, what the fuck am I doing? I'm just going to kind of walk up to her. Okay. You have a moment. You're like halfway dancing and then you just like go straight armed. No, no, then I just stop and think I'm like, I do like that thing where you, that you, you sometimes see someone become aware of how douchey they're looking.
01:43:09
Speaker
You don't see it often in the wild but occasionally when you're in a group of people you see that one douche making his way across the room and occasionally you just see him stop like in their tracks and then just like do like a double take and like half close their eyes like look down at themselves like, what the fuck am I doing? Walk up to her. She's right there. Shit. All right. So you do that. You walk up to Lauren who currently she's dancing with another dude. He's like,
01:43:39
Speaker
wearing um a leather jacket with no shirt underneath or a leather vest with no shirt underneath and tight leather pants and they're dancing you know guys up on each other guys yes yeah uh in in real life today is uh may 17 2022 and the mexican pizza is back at taco bell uh okay i didn't know whatever left but okay i didn't know i never liked the mexican pizza to begin with so
01:44:07
Speaker
That was like the only thing in Taco Bell I ever ate. Like the Mexican pizza was good and all, but it wasn't like something I would go to order. Like when I worked there, I never actually ordered one for myself, but when there was a mess up, yeah, I'd be the one to eat it. It's a glorious day. Let's stop playing and I'll go get a Mexican pizza. All right. I'll see you guys later. Hey Hayden, be sure to tell Daniel that's the Mexican pizzas back at Taco Bell. I'm sure he would be interested.
01:44:34
Speaker
But no, we all eat the bean burritos with... Good man, good, good, good, good man, good man. The beans, cheese, onions, and red sauce. Yeah, I'm making those of those. I'm so horrified by that. Daniel straight up just milks the cow's teat of it and he's like, I'm surprised he even eats the tortilla and just doesn't... A bean cow? Okay.
01:45:04
Speaker
Uh, what the hell is happening? Um, she was basically, uh, you said a dude is already dancing with her, but he's got like more in who's dancing with a dude. He's like, he's like, God's like a four pack and, uh, wearing a vest, a leather vest with no shirt underneath and tight leather pants. And, you know, and some like eyeliner, you know, vampire, you know, cause that's what ours look like as we all know. Uh,
01:45:34
Speaker
She's, you know, she's dancing with him because, you know, she's there to dance, you know. Yeah, of course. OK, so as I walk up, I kind of tap the guy on the shoulder. And he kind of like he's still dancing, but he looks at you. Well, what the fuck, man? Good day, Mike. See those girls over there by the by the by the climato ball?
01:46:03
Speaker
Yeah, what about them? Yeah, yeah. They said they've been watching you all night, and those two girls over there, they are hot for you. I literally just overheard them talking. They want you right now. Straight up stops and goes limp for a second and turns his head towards the girls, looks at them. They're over there, I don't know. They're by the Colomato Bowl, because that's where he said they were, and getting whatever that is.
01:46:31
Speaker
I've heard the word. I don't actually know what it is. Getting Clamado. It's clam, it's clam tomato juice that you both people will spike with liquor with liquor, but a lot of the low key sounds disgusting and I've never drank a day in my life. Thank God. I've never, that sounds awful. Okay. But they're, if you've ever had a michelada, it's very similar, but it's a kind of like a white trashy version. All right. Well, they're getting that.
01:47:00
Speaker
Um, and, uh, he's like, he's like, no shit, you serious? And, and this is happening right in front of you. Um, he, he turns away from you cause he's been dancing you for, with you for like the past, like, I don't know, seven minutes and you haven't shown him your tits. So he turns away from you and goes over to those girls.
01:47:28
Speaker
I turn to Lauren and be like, great choice in advance. Great choice in advance, Paul and I. Yeah, Hugh, you now find yourself face to face with Lauren McDonald. And I will be, as a gentleman, I'm going to offer her my hand. Would you care to give me a dance? I look at him and go, oh, you're so sweet. And I like give him my hand.
01:47:57
Speaker
Oh, yeah. OK, I take I take your hand, you know, politely and like I take so how reading my backstory. Yeah, I know how every vampire movie knowing my backstory. Do I know how Lauren so Bill's Lawrence Bill is Hugh Hugh. OK, sorry. Do I know how Lawrence feels about me?
01:48:24
Speaker
Yeah, I'm reading my backstory and I let Lawrence feel essentially the same about each other. You're okay. You're fuck buddies. Oh, they're only. But so just so I'm clear, they're only fuck buddies. You you don't really know that. I mean, you know that there's something going on between the two of them. But but as far as Lauren's feelings towards Lawrence, she could give a care. She she could give a crap about him. And as far as she can tell,
01:48:53
Speaker
Lawrence, y'all are just friends with benefits or whatever. But your backstory does have notes about you. So at one point in King of the Hill, Hank Hill takes out a large W40 can, and he can't get the lid off, so he takes out a smaller W40 can and sprays it on the large one to get the cap off. Whoa!
01:49:19
Speaker
All right. So where are you? Where are you going with this?
01:49:30
Speaker
I'm aware of this, I've seen every episode, so, okay. It showed up on my Facebook timeline, and I saw it, I was like, I have to mention this. Actually, what it says is, best TV joke is when in history, Hank Hill joke can't win WD-40 when the TV joke is when is the smaller WD-40 can when the joke can to lubricate. But that was a great- WD-40 meme is the highest of qualities.
01:49:59
Speaker
All right, so, yeah, Hugh has just asked you to dance, Lauren. I like I said, I say, oh, you're so sweet with like. You can probably see like the hesitancy in that and I give him my hand. OK, Lauren, I mean, you make a insight plus wits role. Difficulty three.
01:50:29
Speaker
Okay, give me a second. Let's do this difficulty doesn't actually affect your role it just you know you need three successes to succeed All right, so pretty pretty par for the course right now Character sheet is not coming up. Tell me what dice what dice I need to roll. Okay. Let's see pew You need to roll
01:51:00
Speaker
Let's see here. Inside is one and wits is two, so three dice, three d10. Let's throw in three d10 in there. Four, a seven, that's only one success. Yeah, you take her hand, you're into this. Don't notice the hesitancy or any of that.
01:51:31
Speaker
Um, so YouTube dance, what is this dance like for you, Hugh? In your mind, like in the mind of a man, smitten, what is this dance? Okay. So once she takes my hand and again, I've seen every vampire movie that there is in particular, two of my favorites are queen of the damned and, uh, interview with a vampire. Okay.
01:52:00
Speaker
Hmm great movies great movies if anyone's never seen either of them watch both of them like now If you have work fuck work No, not really so I Take her let me bring up the camera real fast. I can make sure I'm in frame for this so when I take her hand I kind of instantly twirl her Like you know in a kind of
01:52:29
Speaker
So not like not like a violent like not like a sudden sharp like flamenco twirl, you know, more like a. So like a soft, gentle twirl. And I kind of. Like I like this right, real close, like a real like real close, I'm kind of I got my hand on her waist and we're just kind of. Kind of going with the flow.
01:52:57
Speaker
Okay. So I was going to, you know, obviously your character sheet, you can't load it, but I was going to ask you to do a performance plus dexterity. So you have three dice for that. Now roll me a three D 10 and Lawrence. Um, this is how epic this diet. Okay. One six, no, two six.
01:53:27
Speaker
Um, two successes is considered a straightforward success. Just, just for your opinion, Lawrence. Um, do you think Lawrence Frank would be bothered by a straight forward dance? Knowing that a straight forward dance. So, so just talking about the, um, the, the difficulty levels are, um,
01:53:57
Speaker
you know, one through one, two, three, four, five, six, one through seven. So, you know, essentially this is a difficulty level two dance as it describes it as straightforward. So not particularly, you know, impressive, like he did it successfully. So do you think Lawrence would be bothered by the fact that you did a, you know, in other words, a an acceptable dance with
01:54:27
Speaker
uh lauren down there i mean considering we're listening to some cyberpunk goth emo techno rave music um that is a little and we haven't we haven't changed it from that music yet and he's doing a slow dance i think it's kind of hilarious i'm just doing a slow dance i'm going with the rhythm i'm just okay i said i'm going with the rhythm you're like i twirl her and then we just kind of do this
01:54:55
Speaker
I do twirl her. I do twirl her. But I'm just saying, it's not sure. There's no twirling. There's always twirling. This dance is... You can get twirling everywhere. This is a slow dance. He's doing it every other beat. You know? We'll say, you know, considering this scale. Okay, so Frank.
01:55:22
Speaker
And I'm leaving this up to you. How much of a douchebag is Lawrence when it comes to his and I and his eyes. You keep in mind you're playing a douchebag and his eyes. Lawrence or Lauren belongs to him. She is his property. What would it take the throw? And this is a simply two out of seven dance. So it's not an aggressive dance.
01:55:49
Speaker
What would it take to throw not a can, but like a Dixie cup? Is it Dixie? No, it's not Dixie. What's the solo solo cup? What would it take to throw a solo cup of like beverage at them? I'm going to say that you can do that. But I know what would it take? Nothing hit me and not her. I'm going to say that you can do that. And the solo cup, you know, hits Hugh now.
01:56:19
Speaker
This is a question for both Hugh and Lauren. Considering, you know, what you think about Hugh, that he's like a sweet guy and all, but you're not what you think about Hugh. Some douchebag that you happen to be sleeping with just threw a solo cup at him. And he's not doing a very impressive dance.
01:56:48
Speaker
You're gonna help them out, or are you just gonna, like, do you agree with the douchebag? This is your decision on Lauren. I feel like, since I honestly... What the fuck are you listening to? Since I really don't, like, care emotionally about him, I would probably just call him out. Alright. What do you say?
01:57:18
Speaker
like hit him with whatever. Okay. Do you want to do something additional? And hopefully you get my innuendo in that with considering the bottom part of your backstory. No, I'm curious about her backstory.
01:57:45
Speaker
because I just want you to keep in mind that you've got that in play anytime you want it to be in play. Now, unless you do the things that are on that list, it's at a minus three, but you've still got a decent dice pool. Silence. Yeah, just keep in mind, you, unlike other characters, have some bonus options. And...
01:58:13
Speaker
as you describe this, keep it as, you know, you're welcome to be as vague as you want to, you know, just screw with the minds of Bill and Frank if you want. But yeah. Anytime you want to do a role with that specific dice pool I described, you can do that role and if it succeeds, whatever you describe happens. So yeah. I guess I just kind of look at
01:58:43
Speaker
Hugh is Frank, right? Hugh is Bill. Jesus Christ. Yeah. And Frank is Lawrence Lawrence. OK, so I look at Lawrence and I just kind of give him like a sneer. OK. And then I.
01:59:02
Speaker
Grab Lauren's... Sorry, I grab Hugh's hand and I try to walk over... Because Dexter is friends with Hugh, right? Dexter is friends with Lawrence. Ah, shit. Yeah. So, Dexter is Frank's friend. Frank, hold up. Show me to that again. Is that literally the same thing I'm drinking?
01:59:27
Speaker
It's literally the same thing you're drinking. I saw you pick up the bottle a minute ago. Oh, no. I've got some of that. I'm drinking limelight. Is it not the same, though? Oh, yours is the jalapeno one. Mine is the mine. Oh, mine is. I almost want to see if I go if I have that, because, you know, we could sync up and drink the same thing. But, you know, I've still got.
01:59:56
Speaker
this much left, so we're not there yet. Why is it spicy? Because it's freaking jalapeno. I guess in that case, I
02:00:14
Speaker
I apologize to you that Lawrence is being a dick. OK. And then I say I'm going to go talk to Lawrence. All right. So you're going to go upstairs and talk to Lawrence, who's on its balcony, so very surveying. I have a lot of I've had lots during people.
02:00:42
Speaker
So yeah, I'm getting tired anyways. Yeah, real fast. We're just stopping points, but yeah. Yeah. Cause we're real fast. Just before she goes, I do want to just say that I would just take her hand. I'm not like forcefully to be like, you don't have to apologize for that for that shit head. He's nothing. You don't know. You know how to do nothing. You want to get out of here?
02:01:11
Speaker
I don't know why it's jalapeno. It's so bad. Why is it spicy? Yeah, my question is, are we tired enough to stop or do we keep going? I'm I could I could go for a long nap. I mean, yeah, I'm tired. I'm having tough times remembering who was who now. OK, yeah, we can finish this up. So I have fun side note. So go upstairs and talk to Lawrence for a minute.
02:01:41
Speaker
Yeah. And then my, my real goal is to get him to introduce me to Dexter. Okay. Yeah. Cause Dexter's there. He's, you know, off doing whatever it is he's doing. So yeah, you, uh, make your way up to balcony, you excuse yourself. You, you. I mean, she was like, let me go deal with this guy. So it's not like your heartbroken by that, by this. You think that she is now. Yeah, you think she's defending you.
02:02:11
Speaker
So she goes up to Lawrence and Hayden slash Lauren. You're now talking to Frank Lawrence about what he just did. And you also want to get introduced to Dexter. Who combines jalapeno and honey, that is so bad. Frank, you're going to have to plug that and drink it next.
02:02:37
Speaker
And I'm going to see, I'm going to pour this down the drain. Cause that is fucking terrible. Yeah. Okay. I thought I grabbed honey. Apparently I grabbed honey, jalapeno. Yeah. See Frank, that's the epitome of what we, of what we amongst alcoholics call an asshole drink.
Olivia's Entrance and Session Reflection
02:02:55
Speaker
Frank, there's a clear to someone that you, there was an asshole that'll just drink it. That you're like here it's alcohol drink. You clearly did not drink enough first.
02:03:05
Speaker
so your mistake was starting with the jalapeno um so well i didn't i started with crown and then i did crown and coke which was what this was as you didn't yeah anyway um so uh lauren she's talking to you i'm gonna interrupt this just so y'all know um so that we can end the night but lauren you you are up on the balcony with lauren's frank um because he just threw a solo cup at hugh
02:03:38
Speaker
Oh, I thought you were going on. But yeah, and so I say, you know, you don't have to be such of a dick. But I'm I'm sorry, darling. Rich. Jesus. That's that's how a boy came out. And straight out of New Orleans, that's where. Hmm.
02:04:04
Speaker
Mmm, shit, I completely lost it. It's alright. Go for it. Go for it. It's fine. You don't have to be an accent. You know I, you know I can't, you know I can't stand watching you with other guys. That works. Fuck, that's like Irish. What the hell was that? It was good enough. That was good enough. It's good enough. It's a caulk in the accent.
02:04:33
Speaker
Maybe. Technically, technically, I think you're pushing more Scottish than Irish. It's it's the same. I drink Scotland is the same island. OK. All right, go ahead and say, well, aren't you the man? Well, it really doesn't matter because there's nothing between us anyways. You both we both know that. We just hook up now. At those words,
02:05:03
Speaker
uh, Lawrence make a, what the hell would this be? Um, Oh, hmm. Awareness plus wits roll. That's two things I'm not very good at. Hey, okay. You got it. That was two successes. Um, and to be fair, I didn't tell you, but you had a plus two bonus.
02:05:34
Speaker
Um, a woman, you don't know this woman, never seen her before. She's dressed and, you know, appropriate attire for this party. I just clicked show to everyone. Um, a woman, uh, on the block and, uh, that's what Olivia Taylor looks like. That's Olivia Taylor. She arrives on a block, almost everyone.
02:06:04
Speaker
Uh, is, well, now you're all mortals. Everyone is drawn to her. You all turn your heads as she steps out of, I don't know, she came up and she came up in a limo because she's a vampire. She's got money. She came up. She's a like over a hundred year old vampire. She better have some money. Otherwise she's been failing at her, you know, job. Uh,
02:06:30
Speaker
So she shows up in the limo and steps out and all of you turn towards her. You are it just like creepy like, yes, like all your heads go towards this woman who just stepped out of limo. And, you know, you can't take her eyes off. You can't take your eyes off her she, you know, kind of walks into the
02:06:57
Speaker
Crowd necessarily wouldn't be the right word. It's only like 20 people, but she walks into the group and makes her way to the front door. And that's where we'll end this session as she enters the front door of the two-story house. And you can't see her anymore. Except for the people who happen to be in the front room. They're the lucky ones.
02:07:26
Speaker
You all turn your heads when she arrives and watch her until she's no longer within your eyesight. And that's the end of the session. I am Ron Bjork. You can find me at RonBjork1 on Twitter. We had Frank tonight.
02:07:47
Speaker
Frank is drinking. Still drinking that honey jalapeno bullshit. Not water. You know, after a while it stops tasting like jalapeno and starts tasting a little bit like tobacco. Save it for next time Frank. Who are you and where the hell can we find you?
