DreamsnThings

... I guess as a complete aside I have other character concepts I came up with well panicking about the "manipulate a PC" move no longer existing, so now that everyone knows a little more about the game we can look at doing a restart in a more college town/spring break style thing, possibly with new characters, possibly with aged up versions of our current ones? I personally saw how "queen" has options for how supernatural you wanted to be and thought of making an actual princess from another world, with her followers being actual knights sent with her! that or I was eyeing the ghost ever since character creation, thinking it could be interesting to explore playing... well someone along those lines! vampire has been interesting flavor wise from the get go, and ghoul interested me more once I sat down and read it I think I can cope however we want to play things... im litterally interested in playing every playbook here the more I look at it XD

... oh shit I missed some stuff o.o Im personally 110% fine with ageing up characters to be in the 18~19 range, was not super fond of having things be under the 18 mark honestly but was loving the story we had/have going... ...was about to reply but wind kinda got kicked out of my sails with that

basically Mr ascar wants her to do as you just said, velvet after seeing robins reaction is possibly wanting to warn her, im wanting to kinda leave it to chance and make it a "keep your cool" roll but was not 100% sure if it fit as a "roll" for this gotcha, Ill just... flip a coin IRL xwx sorry for all that

well yes but actually no... I have some kind of deal with mr ascars and.. TBH OOC I dont know what that is exactly quite yet :D but what I DO know is that normal mortal people are the kinda people on his list... like robin... and I have multiple things im trying to gauge in terms of... what exactly is going on? part of this basically boils down to how I approach this, especially since theres a shared story telling aspect, im trying to figure out the exact... edges of that box so I both know how to think outside it, and avoid crossing lines I should not if that makes sense? Im trying to gauge how much power I have to tweak the story well also trying to gauge the mechanical side of it being a TTRPG TLDR I dont know what im doing and Im trying to know what im doing

mr ascars is not... actively watching at the moment as far as velvet can tell, which is important for what I have in mind right now. I do agree that keep cool might not be valid but at the same time... is? I made a weird character and I just want someones final say on if I should roll or not XD It determines like... half of how I approach this next bit

that was my first instict but then it occured to me that the way experience works that feels... bad to assume? I dont want to assume i just... can?

@roll to seduce I am waiting to hear one way or the other on that qwq

@roll to seduce Can I roll to keep my cool here? the way robin is looking at velvet is making her absolutely feel like she... shouldnt do what she is planning...

oh sweet baby girl.... I feel so bad ooc for playing a manipulative bitch XD

... oh damn their is something so bittersweet about the good christian girl compairing the goth girl who signed a deal with an actual devil friendly old man, to an angel

I have been so wrapped up over in monster hearts I totally blanked about over here x.x anything I need to do here?

4+5+1hot just barely a 10

I... poured my heart out a little bit there, let me know if you want me to roll "turn someone on" for that, im like 50/50 there, kinda depends on how robin would take it

"sorry about that guys, had to take a call really quick from my.. old man" velvet walked back in, she had been looking through makeup ideas with lizzie but something had... come up for a moment making her step away. she was only gone for about 3 maybe 5 minutes, and it looks like well she was gone, things had already happened. spectacularly. great. Sigh Velvet had allready gotten changed, switching over to what at first glance seemed less revealing than her normal outfit, being a white T shirt with a black skull, and a cute bottom with a matching little skull itself covering her little cooch... on closer inspection though it became a little too clear that bottom was basically a thong turned into a bikini bottom, with hardly any fabric on the sides and very little in the back. well the white T shirt for the pool party hid a risqu~e little secret... with a pool party being what it was she knew it would get wet, get see through, and reveal that rather than a proper top she had a mix of black fishnets lining her torso well her nipples themselves where simply covered by two crosses made of black duct tape, with a hand full of little accesseries on her wrists, neck, or ears.. usually with a matching little skull motif depicting a cartoonish skull. ..but back on track, now that she had returned from her mental conversation with mr ascars she came back to robin seemingly having second thoughts, holding that neon green little thing as it spooked the poor thing in all its glory seeing how... hesitant robin was in all this velvet chimed in "izzy, sam, you have some wigs you like to use when your throwing together a cosplay right? maybe let her use one for the photos with the medical mask you used last Halloween liz, when you dressed up as the slutty nurse? make her a little harder to recognize but still lets her be a cute shy little model?" sneaking a little closer velvet whispered to robin "dont take it to heart, when they get like this they loose any filter, last week they let slip that they wanted to swap out my skank look for something a little more retro gothic, they mean well. really" at that velvet went back to look at the makeup options Liz had grabbed well she was away... ... a little time had passed, and robin had changed outfits. looking up from the phone velvet planned to give a compliment to robin regardless... but hot damn... the little holy girl was worth worshipping for, given a chance Vel would absolutely get on her knees. "Robi, I can say with certainty that you are going to be the cutest little lady Derek has seen all night~ if your not careful your going to turn a few heads other than his" It became clear that robin was... hesitant to go through with it... pausing long for a few seconds... seeming to think, a whicked glint in her eyes as she had... an Idea. Velvet grabbed robins hand, pulling her over to a plush pink bean bag the size of a small bed the twins used as a couch. before pulling her down onto it, sitting next to her hip to hip. "Robi... let me tell you a story a little birdy told me once, a friend of mine grew up in a... very strict home... a very confining home... almost like a bird cage itself. that friend spent all of their time listening to rules, following what others told her to do, believing that she had to do that to make others happy... the problem? trying to force herself to be what others wanted her to be... stopped her from being herself. soon all the stress and pressure others heaped onto the poor little thing built up and up... and up till she was... sick of it frankly, she fought with her folks and cut them off entirely... last I heard she had not spoken to them since, to make matters worse. her sister that she looked up too ended up kissing a decan at her church! that sister was a youth leader and it crushed my friend when she found out what happened... my point is this. If every choice you make is for someone else, or about someone else... then who are you? I wont force you to do this, but you like this guy... and ever since you helped me out I wanted to make sure I did the same... now, do you feel like being the sexiest girl this side of the Neck? or do you feel like going home and hiding yourself because you think someone else wouldn't like it? live for yourself sweetheart, be happy."

@WickedCadrach I... was going to save using this on PC's for a bit, but this feels too juicy not to... I would like to use my infernal move "uncanny voices" to realize a secret about robin... it can be a fear, a desire, or a secret strength your choice P.S. to all, I plan to use this on all PC's given the chance early on, so players keep this in mind :3

Its worth mentioning for your first level up you can grab "unresolved trauma" from the ghost playbook, its actually sounding like it would fit well regardless and fairly consistently put you under the traumatized condition

Ok... few questions, are there any strings being given/pulled between robin and velvet here due to helpingwith the makeover? probably should have brought this up sooner but... ah well I have something im planning that will involve giving a string mid scene to robin and wanted to check if helping with the party prep was her pulling the string on me from her helping me awhile back, or possibly giving a string now since she didn't mention the situation (we kinda glossed over the transition)

Oh fuck... i have plans for jocks, band, nerds, goths, an loners as is... your saying each of them can backfire spectacularly? Luv it<3

Ahh gotcha! Also thank you! E pect me to channel randome bullshit go a little with throwaway characters, if people like any of them ill make them stop being throw aways :3

@WickedCadrach all that sounds good to me :3 I think this is a pair of twins, they want to get different jobs in fashion from one another, the older twin Samantha adores clothes, fashion, and design. Well they younger twin lizzy is majorly into makeup both for practical beauty purposes, and for "trick" makeup, including things like special effects makeup in movies, as well as more optical illusion style makeup Velvet... has a little bit of a deal with them, they love doing makeovers for their ticktok and youtube channels (one sister manages one, the other sister manages the other) so velvet brings someone now and then who she thinks would make for a good "model" for a makeover, and for a good video... velvet also has popped in for a vid a few times both as a random guest and as a makeover candidate... and is a semi regular, which she likes since she seems liked despite mr ascars not actually being involved at all with the viewers I... cant place who jenny was ooc xD im assuming that was one of the cheerleaders from my opening scene?

Que brief hot lesbian action scene before a "20 minutes ago" pops on screne showing something mundane All seriousness though im assuming velvet is pulling Robin in the direction of some friends she has who want to go to beauty school or otherwise want to get a job in fashion

If I can roll a D20 for anything, I did!... its in the spoiler!!

...i mean your sex feature is about making sex odd, so if ya want to be someone with both sets of "gear" in one form or another i wont mind :3

Ooc have you decided those? Or is it something you have yet to choose?

Le gasp! Velvet would never! She would simply try and ruin the offending parties social life through other means that seem totally coincidental!
