Powers That Be OOC
#1Yay, it's up! I just posted a little bit of a thing, to give some framework to get things rolling. The characters are on a bus, and it's late/early morning. Go ahead and intro your chars, maybe interact a little before the plot gets rolling. Moon, if you're still in, I'll bring you in later. Some of you will get some pms when the action starts.
Mwahahaha. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#2I haven't gotten the ability scores from all of you, and I need them. There is rolling shortly, and I need stats. :evil:
Muro and Andi, I've sent you your scores in PM, I need them assigned. Chaos, your scores are coming in a few minutes. As soon as you can, please assign them to the abilities and pm them to me. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#3Are we just doing stat-checks where skill-checks would be? Obviously for basic things we don't need to check, but if someone is trying to defuse a bomb, we're gonna need to make a check of /some/ sort... -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#4I'm only doing skill checks when absolutely necessary, and I'd imagine it's mostly going to be spot and listen checks, so I figured I'd just assume you would maximize those skills. What's 'dramatically appropriate' counts for a lot.
Also, opinions on character death? The way I usually do things, I'm not actively trying to kill chars, but if you do something stupid, you *WILL* suffer the consequences. Is that okay, or would you rather I let the dice decide? Keep in mind, ressurection magic is pretty much out of the question. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#5I won't go gentle into that good night, but I think it should be there as a possibility. Keeps everyone on their toes. :D -

And me! I don't wanna die yet! I'm not sure WHO I am but I'm sure I don't wanna die yet! -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#8You said fleshing out skills wasn't required, and so I was just wondering when it might come into play (I'm still doing it, just so I have a list of things he's 'trained' to be able to do decently. Helps with RPing.) -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#9Well, the spot and listen checks mostly come in when I want to see if you guys catch something or get ambushed. I'm not going to do checks when it's something massively important, story wise. Or, at least, I won't irrevocably screw the party over because of failed skill checks. If you want to flesh your skills out, please feel free (and send me a copy...) -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#10Okay, so I don't get anymore confused, I'm saying that there *is* a bar *inside* the bus terminal. It's a few years up the line, why not? Therefore, Poe and Sugarbear are in that bar, and the others are in the terminal proper. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#11Whoops! Sorry, for some reason I figured Poe walked across the street. Didn't pay enough attention I guess. But now that that point is solved, shall we have a drink? -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#12people behave better when death looms over their head
sorry I'm late for the party. Work and school :s -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#13Just cause I feel like saying: That was *not* a deus ex machina that stopped Eric from starting a fight. At least, it wasn't one in your favor. :twisted: -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#14But I was hankerin' for a fight Ma. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#15Note that I never said there wouldn't be a fight. I just said that Eric wasn't going to start one. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#16Anat was all ready to burn his eye out with her cig haha -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#17Just for fun, I need to know who's armed and with what. Poe doesn't have anything except maybe a pocket knife/switchblade, I know, and Father Mikey would have to have a hell of a reason for being armed. I think you already established Anat didn't have anything, right, Andi? The rest of you, I'll allow a gun if you want one. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#18Gun's in the car, which isn't here, so just a pocket knife.
The gun, after conversing with Ria, is in fact in the back of my pants. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#19yep, Anat doesn't have much on hand. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#21Just a knife, usually about $10 at a flea market...

Re: Powers That Be OOC
#22That's a big knife! I want one!
ok, everything I have in italics are Anat's direct thoughts. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#23
That's a big knife!
It only looks big, the blade is about 5 inches long. Pretty small without the fancy guard, but effectively intimidating nonetheless... -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#24Anything with serrations or a funky shaped blade is intimidating, no matter how big they are. :D -

I am up and in. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#26I get -4 initiative for inebriation lol. you guys better have posted by the time I get home from work or heads are gonna roll! I'm nearly snowed in and have nothing else to do but shovel when I get home. *itches* -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#27If you really want me to give you an initiative penalty, I will... :lol: You don't have to wait for your turn to post, but your action won't take effect until your turn comes up. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#28Nobody posted at all :(
I'll let Ria do the skull cracking.
I've been trying to stick to one post a day but I seem to still be posting too fast. how do we want to pace this? -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#29Well, I'm not really trying to hold it to a fixed schedule. I'm on pretty much every night, so I can more or less go as fast as you guys do. Also, I'm not sure what timezone everyone is in. I'd like to keep the pace up, and if someone is going to be away for an extended time, it would be nice if they tell me.
Just for clarification, what is everyone's average post time? Once a day, once every couple of days, once a week...? -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#30I shoot for once a day, though I try to check it in the morning when I get up and at night before I go to bed. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#31I do at least once a day. I haven't posted today 'cause I figured we were posting in order of initiative.
Oh, and I'm EST. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#32Hmm.. I've just now realized that Muro's the first one up, and I haven't seen him in a little while. There might be a slight delay. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#33Dozus, you can respond to my character up to when the guys crash the party -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#34Yes, you guys can post anything that happens before all hell breaks loose.
Also, this seems a good time to mention energy points. Unless I activate your power for my own nefarious reasons (which means that it wasn't a conscious activation), it costs energy to activate a power and maintain it. You all have an energy point pool, and if you want to know the number I'll tell you. Usually it takes one point to activate a power, some maybe more, depending on power. Getting 8 hrs sleep replenishes this pool (sort of like spells). If you have any questions, please ask. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#35Basic rules from the Paragon manual governing the Power Points? -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#36Yep. -
Re: Powers That Be OOC
#37Annual NOPD Salary: $30,000

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, use cash. It can't be traced. -
