Ice Cream (OOC)

Go for it. (Unless the others are doing something more 'tonight' that you want Circe to end up being a part of.)

Finally got around to updating the ol' debt ledger.

One wonders...

• Does Persephone Owe Benji for taking care of Circe?

Or is Circe enough in the game enough to start Owing people? I don't think we are quite there yet.

@Morphling and @Drgwen: Do you two want to do something before you enter (just wondering if there was a reason we 'run into each other outside the door')?

Or shall I assume you enter and narrate that?

I'm fine with having us enter, I just wanted to have that little moment that I already described. If @Drgwen wants to do something more though, then of course that's alright too.

Cool. You narrated it, so I was mainly checking with you. Drgwen can always add a 'before they entered' vignette if they want. :)

I don't think she should be a full PC, but on the other hand I don't mind having the plucky younger sister go on the occasional adventure.

While it is not a offered option in Urban Shadows, many other PbtA games have an Advancement choice that lets you make a second character to play at the same time. I have used this and never had a problem with it, though it is not a common choice, possibly since many find it strange or too much work.

I have no problem with any of you piloting an NPC, as much as you like (so long as it does not break the story). If anyone else wants to try similar, we can arrange it.

On the other hand, if anyone is not satisfied with Drgwen playing two 'characters', let me know and we can phase it out.

Circe is not a PC, she does not have Stats and can not roll dice. They are also not fully under the player's control, since we share narrating with her.

If she ever does need to roll we may have to revisit this issue, but I think it is fine as it has been so far. Giving her a Playbook would be a big deal, the Urban Shadows playbooks are rather impactful on the story, so we would need to talk about it first if we want to. Giving her a few Stats and a Move or two down the line may be interesting, if it comes to it, but those could also play out much like most NPC abilities.

Does moving the bird to another room shut it up or at least mute it enough that we can ignore it, or is Max still going to have to deal with it and perhaps risk wolfing out?

Oh! Interesting. Persephone hasn't met the bird yet, too.

And yeah, unless I hear differently, I'll keep playing Circe as I have been -- when it feels natural for the story, but not as centrally as I will play Persephone.

Though honestly it is fun to have her experiencing her first girl crush on Max. Circe thought she was the 'straight' sister. Nope!

It was part of the Establishment and the loophole of our Imp PC who left. Jacob asked Benji to look after it since Benji likes animals.

There are some details in the posts, so these are not secrets, so let me know how much detail you want now, since none of the current PCs really know what the deal is, not even Benji.

There are reasons it does not like Max.

Awesome I will post briefly her arrival there then
