DreamsnThings

so I am probably over reacting frankly im going to go have a snacko and brood on this a little, its a bit different from what I was going for, but it'll probably be able to work if I tweak the approach ... now how do I roll hot well trying to take advantage of the fact that he wants to be a motherfucker...

I apreciate the help ^-^... sadly its looking like our MC is... 100% right, the way I was wanting to use velvets main strength is Via a cold roll in MH2... which uh... doesnt line up stat wise it seems xnx im currently panicking to figure out how to make my mental vision line up with the mechanical side DX

so no stats involved there at all, gotcha

WIP Name: Velvet Dramour Skin: Infernal Look: Spoiled Eyes: Greedy yet vacant eyes Origin: emissary/Glorified pet Story A Drifter, having wandered for a long time she eventually made... a deal with a man, she was human once, maybe. but his touch, his power, his magic twisted her wants and self so very much. she considers herself his... because he wants her to... regardless of the fact something in the back of her mind is telling her this isnt right. he sends her out, not for her own happiness mind you, she gets enough of that from him... at least that's what he says, so that's what she feels. shes a good girl, doing what Mr. Ascars asks, bringing new friends and boyfriends to him for some fun. they are allways happier after they meet mr. Ascars... right? that nagging voice in her head is wrong... right? with no home to go back to, no family to rely on, no Self free from his charm wants or desires... Mr. Ascars is her everything... Atleast until im free... Hot: +1 Cold: -1 Volatile: -1 Dark: +2 Infernal Moves: Soul Debt You owe a debt to a Dark Power. Name it, and choose two Bargains it has made with you. The Dark Power can gain Strings. If ever it has 5 Strings on you, trigger your Darkest Self. Dark Recruiter When you bring an innocent soul to the Dark Power, mark experience. Bargins: Uncanny Voices You can give the Dark Power a String in order to realize a secret about someone you’re talking to. The owner of that character will reveal one of their secret fears, secret desires, or secret strengths (they choose which.) Strings Attached You can ask the Dark Power for something that you really, really want. The MC will attach a price to the thing you want, and hint at an undesired twist in its nature. If you pay the price, you’ll get what you’re after. Darkest Self: You find yourself shivering, needy, and alone. The Dark Power will make some daunting, open-ended demands. Every demand fulfilled brings you closer to feeling whole again, and removes one of the Dark Power’s Strings on you. You escape your Darkest Self when the Dark Power is out of Strings, or you make a bargain with an even more dangerous entity *Sex Move: When you have sex, the Dark Power loses a String on you and gains a String on whoever you had sex with. Backstory: You owe debts. Give away 3 Strings, divided any way you like between the Dark Power and the other characters. Someone thinks they can save you. Gain a String on them. Strings: WIP

. . . welp never mind, cold was the stat for infernal that starts -1... no matter what QnQ... FACK ...what does tempting someone to do what you want entail under pulling strings?.. My entire plan is kinda out of the window XD

Welp... fuck... well uh... is it too late to pick the other stat spread? Im realizing i kinda... badly fucked up x.x"

...oh fuck , guess i found the one "other" difference between 1e and 2e monsterheart x.x my whole strategy was based around a move that got removed

I thought manipulate an npc was a move? Or are you saying lying to his face to get him to owe me was a different move?

So I rolled to manipulate derek with the information about him being a wannabe motherfucker, im planning to twist the words to frame it that theres gossip going around that he said that well drunk and one of his friends let that slip well he was wasted... can i use the 5+6 i rolled +1 from hot to get him to owe me one and get a string for "letting him know"

...ohhh i have plans, cant write right now... but plaaans<3

Do i hear "makeover scene? " :3

I'd like to give mr ascars a string to use Uncanny Voices to learn something about Derek... you chose one of his secret fears, secret desires, or secret strengths A lil birdie told me some shit :3

Ps did Derek ignore velvets reply entirely? Or was that a woopsie?

I actually addressed that accidentally in my mini post :D

Velvet was... getting dragged into a confrontation... by the other side now, Derek, asking if she knew the guy who called him out, Dylan... for fuck sake yes she did, she knew everyone, that was the point. In a sugary sweet trill of a voice she started to chime in "well of course! You know me derek i like to talk a little with everyone! Its great to-" she trailed off realizing he wasn't listening to her, instead stairing down robins shirt collar at her neck... her own eyes lingering on the silver cross for a few seconds before she dropped the idea. Derek, announcing it was a joke, paid. Well... atleast we are back on track for his plan

ya know, I think your right misread it at one point that he reached over the counter to grab drinks... but no he was being a different brand of trashy my bad XD

@roll to seduce "How does Velvet know these people? Why is she hanging out with them?" in case it was not obvious Ill answer here, velvet is not quite a social buterfly, but close enough to have made friends in nearly every click. she is hanging out with them today specifically because she was asked to spend time with certain friends by a particular caregiver of hers... and he was keeping an eye on her in his own way to make sure she was doing as told P.S. for the GM only (or those with no self control ;p

Smile - Flirt - Look Happy There was a buzz in the air, Cindy was chatting about her new purse, absolutely to die for, love it. Karla Pivoting to the latest gossip, who fucked who, who was mad at who for fucking the love of their life, who got a revenge fuck in to make their love turned ex jealous so they would get back together with them... same old... same old~ Compliment The Highlights, they want someone to notice silver Eyes flick, lined with heavy black eyeliner towards one of their owners friends, going wide as she gushed "Wait a second Clair... are those highlights? subtle... but sexy, I love it girl!" there was a moment of laughter as the girl, cindy basked in the validation... the attention... later she might remember the one who noticed, Velvet, fondly. Good, keep this pace I will Check in later. Velvet was smiling happily, happy that she made someone happy... and happy that she felt something switch. she kept things happy, she kept them light, and she noticed little things naturally... or at least naturally enough to make it "look" natural... another task done successfully. sweet silence only lasts so long, the subtle as a freight train sound of two of the girls laughing was enough to draw the psudo goth girls eyes as she leaned in with a big smile, whispering to the two girls "I bet those muscles would feel great~ in a few ways" a brief little squeal left the two as she let herself join in the celebration for a brief moment. they seemed to love imagining how he would feel... then derek popped in... god damnit derek. "I think im going to say hi to a couple friends, Ill catch you girls later. Cindy, text me the details of which stylist did those lights later I need someone good to give me a cute blue one and I think you know just the one! see ya later~<3" half skipping away, velvet turned on her heel, quietly making her way to the... weiner hut... the fuck was with the owners aesthetic sense she would never know... Velvet walked into the line, avoiding the side with derek, he was an obnoxious ass... but he definitely made a few opportunities to win brownie points. she had a plan... slip the Cashier.. robin right? enough to cover the drinks, and a little extra for the trouble, and get a little appreciation she could use a little later... give a little treat to the little corndog and water girl to make another friend, it was all in the plan... ...wait a moment... did she just hear someone yell her name, well he was seemingly trying to start a fight? oh fuck that was... not in the plan. not.. in.. the.. plan... fuck she was going to hear about this later.

@Chiyakocan i take the heart reaction as an ok to know Selene could use a little honey hun? :3

Interestingly that... might be an interesting tidbit for several reasons...

Ok it'll be a few hours before i can reply but wanted to bounce a few ideas to gauge intrest. I want to set velvet up as someone oddly connected, especially for someone who presents themselves as goth. Namely leaning into the ability she has to learn secrets due to her infernal playbook to basically be... a bit connected to every social circle (IE in a given day she might spend time with the jocks, theater kids, goths, skaters, etc) without ever seeming to be... affected by the normal conflicts that come from being in multiple normally conflicting clicks... namely due to her learning peoples wants, desires, and fears and "relating" to them in one form or another to keep friends in odd places ...where this comes in is i think it could be interesting if velvet knew a minor want or desire from the get go of some of the others... IE selenes desire for real honey, robins crush, etc Im fine either way, but it depends on how i approach some of my reply

Gotcha! Ill bin that idea then @Chiyako also that sounds great!

Any added details there?

Either works for me! Though this third option seemes nice... it could be that well the connection worked for a moment... something sinister spoke in your head chastising you for poking your nose in where it doesn't belong before the connection snapped? Leading to that exchange itself being a string?

Well since it can be physical or nonphysical I can certainly see it being something... along the lines of dirt on me... aaaannnnd you happen to have a hex that lets you see through my eyes... maaaybe you saw abit of mr ascars true self or the tasks he sends me on?
