Violetta, how many fuckers were left for you to chop down after they took out Kiyo's crew? Kiyo and her girl Rubble were both fair badass, they must have put up some kind of a fight with the rest of their crew. Kiyo, can you tell us about Rubble? Leon, what was in that shipment and how did you find out? Jasmine, who was the message that Violetta delivered for? Who sent it? Seraphina, someone survived Violetta's punishment. Who? Are they still alive or did they slither off to die in the arms of a lover? If they're alive, did you help them or is there some other powerful healer out there? If they died, how? Who knows their tale?

My bad. I'll check that and get you your answers.

So, Violetta, Kiyo and her crew got murked while on a sketchy escort job. How do you fit in all this? Were you part of the crew that smoked them? Lucky opportunist who happened upon the carnage and scored some jingle-jangle off the cargo and corpses? Something else entirely? Someone not named Kiyo or Violetta where was that cargo coming from, where was it going and what was it, really (unless Violetta knows)?

Seraphina, sure answer if you want. Leon, just to be clear, I don't have any problem with you building a harem, but that's NOT my focus as the MC.

Well, let's find out, shall we, Violetta? Kiyo, what was the situation when Violetta left you bleeding? How did you come to be bleeding?

That's how the game works. Those are the conversations that define it. I will ask you for a lot of information about the world - it tells me, and everyone else - what's important to you, what cool visions you have. "Fight shoulder to shoulder" could mean a lot of things. Maybe there was a shoot out and everyone except you ran away, leaving Kiyo alone, outnumbered and bleeding and you patched her up enough that she got away alive. Maybe that fight is what you're an angel now. It's not a game where we need a DPS, a buffer, a shield and a healer. The fiction drives the game. Almost all of what we know about the world has come from the players.

Hx doesn't measure how much people like each other, it measures how well they KNOW each other. You can hate someone and know everything about them. You can love someone and know almost nothing about them .

Each question gets asked and answered once - Violetta just asks the same question multiple times.

And we're simply taking turns until all the questions are asked. Once an Hx question is asked and answered someone other than one of those two people ask one of your questions.

When they use the move "Open Your Brain" "Sixth Sense" applies. "Healing Touch" is a separate move that can trigger "Open Your Brain" which would roll +sharp if you have "Sixth Sense", but "Healing Touch" rolls +weird.

No one really knows what the Maelstrom is. Maybe it's the screaming anguish of the dead world, maybe it's the hopes of all the people living in the grave of what used to be. Maybe it's all of our minds. What we do know is we can reach into it and sometimes it shows us things we want and how to get them. Sometimes it leaves us screaming and crying. Healing touch allows an angel to lay their bare hand on another person's skin and heal them. You roll 2d6 + weird (in your case -1) on a 6 or less bad things come from the Maelstrom, on a 7-9 you heal the person for 1 and make an "Open your Brain" move and roll. On a 10+ you heal them and connect to their brain. As you have -1 weird, I would NOT take healing touch.

All right, @Warning, pick your angel moves and gear and tell me what you were doing during Jazz's gig last night. Did you see where Yuka went?

Not guilty. Not a working ranch, anyway . I have tended sheep and cattle and the daily work of it is hard, but not unbearable (except sheep, fuck those suicidal curries with legs) until it gets cold and the wind picks up. Or beef prices drop.... A recreational ranch that I lounge around in a million dollar log chalet and show off my collection of rare and expensive rifles though... I could be convinced. Next poster has considered veganism.

Don't you like my thong?

Are there other ones that are cute?

You mean the one with the really cute shoes and killer ass, right?

Has anyone seen Carol Anne?

Could it be both?

Whom are we eating out?

How did you all get in my BUTT!?

Whichever character has the highest Hx will pick one highlight for you, then I will pick another. So, Leon: you have Jasmine's leash, tell me about where her gig was last night. Jasmine, there was someone who caught your eye in the crowd, who was it and what made you notice them. Violetta, did you go to the gig? If you did who else from your little settlement was there? If not, tell us about what the venue looks like from outside and how the settlement feels about it. Kiyo, we're you at the gig? If so who runs the venue and what are they like? If you didn't go, what were you doing while Jasmine's music thundered through sky and sand around you. Oh yeah, and did anyone see Bozzman's squeeze Yuka last night?

Yes, please.

What's the issue with weird? The Maelstrom exists and is a kind of risky psychic resource. For the Savvyhead it's a relationship with machines.

@Warning What is it that you want your character to be about in this crumbling, urban wasteland? Let's see if we can't find a playbook that suits what you want to do. The character can look like pretty much whatever you want, so let's work on finding a playbook. @DreamsnThings as for Show vs The Skinner (or some other playbook, The Maestro D'?) What is it about either playbook that interests you?
