Fuck. Because I too want to fuck an asshole. *Reaching under my bed for the toy box.*

Not guilty. As someone who has never left their home country and hasn't been to enough places inside it, I feel that. The next poster can picture what 100 miles looks like without looking at a map.

+1 Fuck. Because if it's been that long, we need to make it special too.

Guilty, though panang curry is the real key to my heart. (Side note. I actually have acorn squash read to go for this week. Not sure if we're going sweet or savory with it yet, but I'm looking forward to it.) The next person has missed an international flight for a completely avoidable reason.

Midnight cowboy

Guilty. 8 parts cinnamon. 2 part ginger. 1 part nutmeg. 1 part cloves (some allspice and the tiniest pinch of black pepper if you're zesty like that). Tweak to taste. (Whoever controls the spice controls the universe) I'm definitely making the pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls again this year. But first I want to try out croissants with a pumpkin spice glaze. EDIT: doubled up, oops! (and forgot to add my question ) Not guilty, but Apple pie is up there. I wouldn't mind pumpkin spice shouldering over and making space. The next person enjoys baked pumpkin (and not just the pie).

"Fuuuuuuck..." Emily's thighs tensed as her legs coped with the wobble running out from her center. The locked steel of her mechanical limb kept at least one foot firmly planted while the electric stimulation of Magda's fingers telegraphed ripples up her spine and out along her nerves, causing her pony-tail to drop against her bare back while her chin lifted and her eyes went vague and drunk. Coherent thought was bundled and dropped through the open elevator shaft at the back of her mind to make room for more of the raw, sensual stimulation being coaxed into her by the wiggling of her superior officer's tongue and fingers. Only a few small stragglers from the language center of her brain were left littering the floor as Emily let out small groans that sounded as if they had to shoulder their way out of her throat. "G-good... Oh, fuc-k... God..." Her athletically cut stomach tensed and the lines of her abs stood out as her shoulders dropped and her neck bent forward enough for her to meet the glances Magda threw up toward her. Emily thought she could see it in the other woman's dark eyes. She knew exactly what she was doing to her. And as her cheeks took turns against Emily's inner thigh, assisting her tongue in wriggling deeper in while the finger in Emily's ass snaked along her smooth back channel, Emily could feel the same hunger in her reflected back. Licking her lips, Emily's fingers curled spastically on Magda's shaved scalp, fingernails etching her arousal in smooth, primal runes across the skin. Her hips began to move, just enough to draw the friction of Magda's tongue more firmly to the inner walls of her now thoroughly soaked slit. She let this go on for a couple of minutes, until the heated rhythm coiling from between her legs hand begun to pull her chest along and the hands clutching at Magda began to grow so restless, she felt she must do something else with them or go insane. She knew if she let her, Magda's diligent attention was going to send her over the edge. And a part of her wanted that... yes, that part of Emily liked the idea so badly that it practically screamed its demands to be satisfied. But she wasn't here just to get off. And even with all the dressings of control and dominance, would Magda see her the way Emily craved to be seen if she just let the older woman take care of her first like that? "Come here." Emily cupped her captain's cheeks in her palms, her breath hot and her voice low and firm as she forced herself not to pant the words. She drew her up into a kiss, her tongue stealing back the taste of her own pussy from Magda's lips as she did.

Brainstorming a little, I think I may step-up the relationship die with Millie, @StarlitSiren On the one hand, yes, Missy wants to use Millie's skills for her own goals, but I think she also sees Millie as a fellow entrepreneur. They're both woman running their own businesses in a cut-throat town, so I think Missy might see it like 'If I had Millie's skills and Millie had my charm, we could both have this city by the throat'. And that idea makes her more than a little invested in the red-headed machinist with grease on her face.

@IsabellaRose I was thinking of giving Missy the Rebel path for her Youth, but I wanted to check because the text doesn't match the image of the chart in the rules reference. Rebel in the chart reads: +NEW Distinction ^ Distinction ^ Relationship, Asset, or Resource Rebel in the text reads: Step up Glory or Justice twice, or step up each once. Add a Distinction (Recommended: Impulsive, Daring, Smartass). Step up a Relationship. Which version should I be going with? Unless you picked Common-Born for your Origin, I think we've only had 1 chance to step-up a Relationship before now.

Bear trap

Did we... did we just accidentally re-found San Francisco?

Ok! I just added a link from Jane Montgomery to the Thane-Cash Rebirth Music Hall. "Listening from her family's reserved box restores her anxious heart".

@WritesNaughtyStories, you already know I'm sad... and I'm just going to have to deal with the fact that I can't handcuff all of you to the table until we figure something out. Location comments Missy's Location :: The Lincoln Palace While 'luxury' stretches the meaning of the word, the upscale hotel gives a place for more well-heeled travelers to stay in the rapidly growing town. - Missy performs and rents a room in the Palace. (If this isn't sharp enough, my first-pass backup is 'Missy owes 6 weeks back rent') Relationship Statements comments @MagnificentBastard I think we need something briefer and more actionable. I'm putting Edmund: "A viper. Do not trust him" as Missy's statement for him. I might parse your idea down to something like Izzy suggested Missy: I want her in my bed or Missy: I want her for my casino. @StarlitSiren I like what you've got, but I think to keep it sharp and actionable, maybe we can trim it to something like Missy: an itch I can't scratch. That gives us both the irritation and a little innuendo to play with. I think for you I want to adjust to Millie: I need her skills . I still like this idea that Missy wants to use Millie's machining skills to take her show to the next level and all that mechanical nonsense is perfect for pulling the wool over the eyes of gullible blue bloods who've never even seen the engines of the trains they ride. Maybe she's asked Millie to make a few small things in the past, testing the waters to see if she can be trusted with the knowledge that Missy is a con-artist and not an 'actual' medium? @AsBloodTurnsEverCold I think the spirit of what I wanted when I wrote my first idea was along the lines of Kojo's otherworldly music having a captivating effect on Missy on a psychic level. I think she's heard you play and something about it made her jaded, cynical heart move in a way she didn't think it could. Maybe, Kojo: He affects me in ways I don't understand. ? @Chiyako So I had an idea that Colette reminds Missy of herself in some ways. As a con-artist, Missy is constantly wearing masks, and but Colette can't do much to conceal what's going on with her. That vulnerability is tapping into Missy's past, and so she's started being kind of a 'pushy friend' with Colette. Maybe inviting herself over to the lab for tea and coffee, just being a nosy nuisance as she pushes herself into Colette's life to be sure she's being looked after and doing well. If that feels ok to you, I'm going to stick with, Alicia: She needs a protector... just like I did. Aaaaand... I think that's me caught up?

Vague pointing

Sorry! I'm not trying to rush you at all. Take all the time you need. I was more tripping up over whether I'd skipped ahead by writing those initial Relationship statements.

I haven't touched my statements yet, but will no doubt end up editing them. I'm a little confused on where we are in the game setup. It sounds like I jumped the gun on writing out Relationship statements for everyone when I did my character sheet. Should that have been held off until a later step or even left blank until play starts? I'll just hold here until the next step is explained.

I agree. If people want an extended sex scene beyond a couple beats back and forth, we can create a separate thread where we can all enjoy eachother's sexy prose or take it into dms.

It's under 'Roleplays' not 'Discussion'. Here

Ok. I think I've done this correctly? Missy Fisher should be fully set up in the character thread.

Abilities/Powers d4 Ability (effect, descriptor(s), limits, and SFX) Signature Assets d4 Signature Asset (die rating, effect, descriptor(s), limits, and SFX) Resources 2d8 Automaton Heiress Adelaide Montgomery (Wealth, Connections) Rich and eccentric, she eagerly drinks in spiritualism that validates how special she is. Believes she was Cleopatra in a past life 2d8 Jane Montgomery (Respectability, Sympathy) She drinks my lies like wine Daughter of Automaton Heiress, Adelaide Montgomery, Jane lives a privileged life. However, her controlling mother and the expectations of high society have left her anxious and adrift in a sea of contending voices. Private aura readings and spiritual healing sessions with Missy have given her a place to vent her fears. 2d6 Lincoln Palace Hotel (Shelter, Diversion) An upscale hotel with a reputation for discretion. Fine enough for well-heeled travelers to stay in the rapidly growing town. Missy performs and rents a room in the Palace. 2d4 Red Jenny (Secrets, Revenge) The Scarlet Lady, The Veiled Ghost, Red Jenny... Some say she was a prospector, murdered for her claim after showing off a bit of the shine she'd found in the saloon one night. Others say she was a working girl, beaten and strangled in her bed by a drunken customer. The immigrant rail-workers claim she's a fox spirit, a vengeful specter who was never human at all, here to claim the souls of prideful men. No matter which version you hear, her description is the same: a woman in a ragged dress wearing a veil that clings to her hidden face by its wet, red stains. They say if you walk the streets at night and hear her humming behind you, close your eyes and pray, but do not look back—there's no fighting the devil. And when a phantom comes to claim the sinful, the arrogant, the greedy, and the violent... who is safe in a city like this? ... When Missy invented 'Red Jenny' for her show, she thought the homespun legend would make for a compelling bit of fun. The chemically treated candles would flare and her voice would quaver as she pretended to speak for the vengeful specter. It became decidedly less fun when actual victims began to appear in the streets, and the frightened working folk turned to Missy for answers. 2d8 'Judge' Holland Buck (Intimidation, Information) A former scout for the US Cavalry, Holland took up as a lawman in one of the territories after the war. Rumor has it that it was his gambling debts that were his undoing. Others say it was a woman as wild and dangerous as the West itself that made the lawman give up his silver star. Either way, for three years, the hard-fighting and fearless gambler has lived bounty to bounty under the tried and true words "Have gun. Will travel." What Holland and Missy did in that Texas jail cell was decidedly unprofessional for a sheriff and an (alleged) horse thief. What they did in the back of the monsignor's private train car was even more so—and not simply because Missy's escape plan included being disguised as a nun at the time. But now that Missy has dressed herself in the fragile trappings of respectability, the return of the rough gunman has drawn old feelings to the surface: the fear of losing all that she's built... and the temptation to burn it all down. Portrait

I think it's just one to start? That's what it says in the pathways step in the Rules thread

I love the art for your character! I do use AI a good bit, but in this case, I was just flipping through Pinterest. You can still find good stuff on there if you tack on 'character art' or 'concept art' to whatever you're looking for.

I just realized we already have a Millicent in the group Millicent "Millie" Gearhart and I'm bringing in Millicent "Missy" Fisher. @StarlitSiren, how do you feel about identity confusion shenanigans between Millie and Missy? I jumped on because I initially wanted to see if I should change my character name, but now I'm imagining the fun of having two very different Millicents in an era of letters and telegrams, with very little to verify identify.

Ok, last one to the character idea party, lol. I have a more detailed story for her, but I think keeping back a few things to come out in roleplay is fun. "Yes-sir! Genu-INE snake-oil! Secret medicine passed down by a hundred generations of savage witch-doctors and wisemen. Professor Whitty has spent years studying the science behind this medical marvel, this cure-all panacea that he learned from a Lokonchee shaman in his forbidden medicine cave where no other white man has gone before! 50 cents a bottle! A case for five dollars, and you'll never need another medicine for the rest of your very, very long life!" -Missy Fisher, age 12 Millicent 'Missy' Fisher When Clarence Whitty—also known as 'Professor Whitty, the Scorpion Scholar and Cobra King of Houston'—found ten-year-old Missy on the side of the road, there had been a moment of mutual understanding like two coyotes scenting each other across an open field. And so even nine years after he'd wordlessly helped her aboard his rattling caravan and given her a taste of brandy to help with the pain in her blistered feet, neither had asked the other where they'd come from or where they'd originally been headed before their paths crossed. Over the years of traveling with the conman, Missy had found she could use her flair for the dramatic to put on convincing seances and spook shows in dark, candlelit back rooms. And while Missy didn't know real specters and magic from a bullfrog's fart, she knew she could play to what the average rancher and city clerk thought they knew about the great beyond. So as Clarence Whitty's name accumulated more and more mud, slowly Missy Fisher became the main attraction of their little one-wagon show. By eighteen, her relationship with Professor Whitty had become decidedly less paternal. The man had been her teacher, employer, and caregiver for eight years, and now he was her lover too. But Missy was also coming into her own, and what she learned from Clarence, she took to the other men in the towns they visited. At first, her fellow con-artist didn't seem to mind sharing a younger woman's affection, but soon he became bitter, jealous, and possessive. When he came to the caravan drunk one night, ranting about how they ought to stop all this rambling around and get married, Missy had had enough. She packed her belongings and took her spook show independent. (appending a possible portrait for Missy Fisher)
