End Session Two

AT THE END OF THE SESSION
At the end of every session, choose a character who knows you better than they used to. Tell that player to add +1 to their Hx with you on their sheet. If more than one character knows you better, choose at most two.

If no one knows you better, choose a character who doesn’t know you as well as they thought, or choose any character you want. Tell that player to take -1 to their Hx with you on their sheet.

Rolling Over Hx: Whenever your Hx with someone reaches +4, either during a session or at the session’s end, three things happen. First, reset it to Hx+1. Next, mark 1Xp. Finally, choose 1 of the following to ask or tell them:
• What’s a secret I’ve learned or realized about you?
• I’m more open to you than I was. You gain +1Hx with me on your sheet.
• Hey, I’m thinking of doing [x]. What’s your take? What do you suggest?
• What’s our next step? Let’s make a plan together for what comes next for us.

Whenever your Hx with someone reaches -3, reset to Hx-1 and mark 1Xp.

At the end of every session, judge for yourself: Are you satisfied with your place in the world?
If you’re not, get 1Xp.
If you are, cool. You can take it easy until something changes.

At the end of every session, judge for yourself: Does your Scavenge choice still hold true? If it does, get 1Xp. If it doesn’t, you have the option to change it now.

When you change your Scavenge, you can simply switch to the other option, or you can get with the MC to write a new Scavenge to reflect your current situation. Typically, you write the text and the MC assigns barter, but check with the MC to confirm.

I'm going to go with Helix as the one who knows Edmund better. While relationships with the other PCs are definitely stronger, I feel like Helix - between meeting Edmund and witnessing his behavior had the greatest change. Enjoy that +1 with Edmund on your sheet!

Am I satisfied with my place in the world? No. Better than before, but still not good. Mainly wanting to figure out the mystery of what's happening at the Tower and trying to get Princey's family back together. Taking +1Xp.

Does my Scavenge choice still hold true? Yes, taking 1Xp.

That's enough for me to level up - so I'm adding a new Medic Move - Healing Touch!

I'm also choosing Helix. Edmund would've been a fun option to choose, but Helix makes the most sense. That would put my Hx with her up to a +4, so I'm going to select this question: What’s a secret I’ve learned or realized about you?Are you satisfied with your place in the world? I'm actually going to say no. All of the physical hits Litch has taken and the toil on his body, he's feeling a bit adrift with what his role should be and whether nominating a new head of the family would be prudent. Taking XP.

Does your Scavenge choice still hold true? I'd say it does. Taking a second XP.

Little odd choice, but I'm going to take Litch. We didn't directly interact, but I think Canary standing up to join the mission tells him a lot about her without speaking.

Canary is actually satisfied with her place, though this mission is dangerous and disruptive. As mentioned in chat, she's going to put the Refuge in the hands of her crew and Dinero can do the salvage dive.

Same scavenge, so 1xp.

My Hx with Edmund went to +4, so I reset to +1 and took XP.

Edmund, I'd like to ask you: What’s a secret I’ve learned or realized about you?

I think Litch knows Helix better. Take +1 to Hx with her!

Are you satisfied with your place in the world? No - taking 1xp

Does your Scavenge choice still hold true? No, changing it up! Helix is more willing now to use her abilities to get what she wants, so her scavenge option is now: When your resources run thin, you're more than willing to use your psychic abilities to exploit or extort people. You have Barter +2.

Whether it was because of how closely you were paying attention to Edmund's actions, or simply your skeptical/self-preservation lifestyle, or maybe the voices clued you in - you picked up on something important about the way Edmund thinks during that meeting.

You know that every argument Edmund made to sway the Talons from going to the Abyss equally applies to his situation with his "family", and he knows it. He is currently split on whether or not he should try to hunt down those who have been hunting his house, or if there is more value in commitment to the relationship with Princy, Parker, and Paisley - and spending whatever time is left with those who still live. Though he didn't realize it until the meeting in the Chancel. How the trip to the Abyss goes will heavily influence whether he believes in high-risk and long-term closure, or low-risk and an insecure future.

Sorry! I didn't realize Litch was waiting on a secret from Helix still!

I think Litch, in being around Helix with her new pets, realizes that she uses the leeches to quiet her visions/"the Gray Wing." He probably also puts together that she not only asked him for them when she first arrived, but also went back to her apartment and brought them back with her herself. She relies on them and will want to keep them around.
