That could be, and might mean that Benji knows more about Alara's history than Max does.

... I feel like this scene has gone off the rails a bit, but I'm ok with it for now. ...
We could resteer it in a different direction, and I agree, it is a bit strange how much Viviana is accepting things, but we need to move it along, so I made her a bit more curious than expected.
Drgwen says:
(in RP) ... they can work together to escape the contract? Maybe … ...
That would be marvelous. I can see her agreeing to join for your sake, to help you... this could turn bad, of course, if she later has doubts about if it was worth it, but you are forming quite a cabal against your Dark Patron. :)
Drgwen says:
... considering a display of demon power to "impress" Viv, ... This is what my Patron wants ... "Let it Out" ...assuming the dice cooperate ...
Maybe we know it will work, but a bad roll means your Dark Patron needs to step in?
Then you Owe them for the help or some other cost? This may make your plans for teaming up harder, so roll well?
Drgwen says:
... as a first step to having her maybe thinking that working for Persephone's Patron isn't a bad thing. ...
Yeah, that sounds like how they work, making it look appealing and too good to pass up, then you find the fine-print later?

oopsylon says:
... I think I would like Alara to owe Benji a Debt. ...
Cool. Done.
(I resisted having Alara comment too much about Benji till we knew how well they knew each other.)
oopsylon says:
... Maybe he helped her figure stuff out//taught her a bit about being a vampire when she was newly turned? ...
Fine by me.

Though, did Alara come to London and then get turned, or was she a vampire before she came?
Both can work. Either you helped her with being newly turned, or your helped her with being newly in London, or whatever.

Morphling and oopsylon: You two can decide between the two of you.

In addition to the Debt from Put a Face to a Name above:

Max came to Benji for help, this triggers the Vamp's Web feature:
Quote:
When someone comes to you to ask for a favor, seek advice, bargain for info, or threaten your interests, they enter your web and owe you a Debt… even if you don't offer them anything in return.
So Max Owes Benji a Debt.
Alara Owes Max a Debt for arranging the meeting with Benji and getting her fed.
Alara may, later, end up Owing Max another Debt for this as well, if the 'permission' comes back to bite Max in the proverbial.

Record those new Debts if you agree.

Yes, this sounds good! I guess I should roll a Let it Out then? I'll add it to my most recent post, and then narrate the result once I see it. It will succeed, but the roll determines if it incurs a Debt to my Patron.

What is Yasmine's circle? I guessed Power and made the roll.

@Drgwen: Sorry for the weekend-delay, right before your surgery. Reply whenever is convenient, and good luck.

I expected Viviana to freak out at your display ... but that's not what happened when I got to writing it [ref]. Apparently she is more analytical?

You have your Demon Form, no need to roll to use it further in this scene. You can use it to impress her further (I don't know... take her flying, or something?:).

The Effect was 'limited' but you can build on it.

Morphling says:

Correct. Power.

With an 8 on Put a Name to a Face [ref] you know what most people know:

Yasmine Deneuve (Power) is a 50-something French woman with the look of a librarian, but covered in occult tattoos. [ref].

She runs a 'bookshop' Cecil Court [streetview]

She is an occultist, and is rumoured to know things about things.

Has Max heard anything different? What? This may or may not be true, we shall see.

Good luck, @Drgwen. Hope everything will go well, and wish you a speedy recovery!

@vagueGM, would Emma's Let it Out: "Gain access to a secure or locked-down location" be used to gain access to the faerie realm?

Hopefully that wasn't too much! She ight do one or tow more minor things, but that's it. And I won't keeping using the "walking through walls" thing -- that was mostly just for show here.

OK, heading in!

No worries. You can always change it later. I believe that posts should make sense without the avatars, so I seldom even notice when people do or don't use them.

On a related note: Do you know about the NPC tag feature?

Adding the below tag anywhere in a post it will appear to be from that named NPC with that portrait (keep it size appropriate so we don't overwhelm others:).

Ordinarily I would think that The Aware's Abilities should be mostly 'mundane'. But there is already a connection between Emma and the faeries, so it might be able to help? Maybe as part of a ritual, or if you can find the right place (like you did with the portal).

Delirium says:
(in RP) ... Bev didn't know any other vampires, at least she didn't remember mentioning anyone else. Except, maybe, Chablis?

...no harm in trying

Sighing to herself again, she pulled up Chablis's number and pressed dial, hoping she hadn't already retired to her 'coffin' for the day
That sounds like the start of Hit the Streets [ref], assuming you are going to go see her (you can't do the Move over the phone). If you agree, then add the roll to the post, Chablis is Night.
Oct 2, 2025 3:26 pm
Added the roll to the post. Came up as a '13'. Do I mark 'Night' for this move?

Max has heard that... Yasmine has been offering to pay dearly for werewolf blood that she needs for a ritual! Ooohhhh, spooky!

I can imagine many people could have use for such things, yet another reason to try keep your secrets secret.

Yes. Mark it.

My understanding is that it is still early in the night?
Drgwen says:
(OOC in RP) ... she'd head back to the condo, not caring if she interrupts Persephone; she wants to sleep in her own bed. ...
We can still do that, whenever you are done with the night. Whatever time you think Circe would eventually get fed up or bored.
Drgwen says:
(OOC in RP) ... She is likely to enter and see demon Persephone in flagrante delicto, much to her chagrin.
Not to mention that Circe has not seen Persephone's Demon Form... there were performance issues last time. :)
So it may be much like that time she walked in her father doing something violent-looking to her mother? Talk about confusing...
