It will rain again tomorrow (OOC)

Do you want to continue this back and forth of 'pulling teeth', or are you trying to avoid roleplaying this scene? Either are fine, but I don't want to skip it if you want to play it out slowly, but I also don't want to make you play out a scene you are not interested in.

If you want to play it out, say so and I will have the sergeant take the next step and wait for your, possibly taciturn, response, and so on until we resolve the scene or you say you are done with it. Currently you have not done enough to Trigger any Moves, or to get her to allow you access for fictional reasons. Think about how you would deal with real police in real life, and how they might respond to actions such as those your character has taken. Treat the world and its inhabitants as though it and they are real.

If you want to skip it, I will assume you give answers that lead us to a point where we can move on (naming Benji, for instance), but that will mean I put words in your mouth.

Both are options, but I don't sense that you are engaging with the scene. Let me know the route you want to take

Excellent roll on Study a Place of Power, but remember that that Move (no matter you well you roll) can only reveal what you could learn from the actions you take.

Until this point you have walked around and looked at stuff, mapped the phenomenon, and not much else, I will include that in any description I give, but this last part sounds a lot more 'active' and a lot like '• detect the presence and function of magical items or spells' that is part of your Let It Out suite of abilities.

If you are just continuing to use your passive wizard's senses then I will narrate based on that, if you want to add a roll for Let it Out, you will get a lot more (with all its potential downsides:).

Please let us know after you have made a change to the post, the site does not properly notify us about edits. I cheked after you posted this OOC, but that was minutes before you did the RP change, so I had to guess and come back.

Seems like you a rolling the a boss! :)

With Let It Out, on a 12! (which is a 10+:) you get to ignore one of the costs, either the Corruption (though you seem to be collecting that:) or the Complication. I can tell you that the Complication will be of the 'Social' nature —as mentioned in the Costly Abilities section of the Options for Let It Out in the Notes spoiler, this is one of those times mentioned where 'the complications reveal new elements in the scene'.

• What is your choice?

Nah, you have just used up a few 4s and 6s, there are still plenty of 5s and such around to cover the other weak numbers. :)
Mark it on your sheet.

There is more information [ref] available from this Move, what you learn still depends on what you do in the fiction going forward.

Your sense is accurate, Jacob sees this just as an inconvenient interruption of his current schemes, and just wishes to deal with the bureaucratic part and take this lady to the bookshop, where she will be safe. You can safely press fast forward, unless you had something interesting/unexpected planned.
Perhaps I misread the situation, then. I don't see why she wouldn't allow me to just take Lizabeth. I don't have RL experience in picking up someone who has been arrested... :) ... but I thought it was enough with saying "hey, I'm taking this person" and if the person agrees, that's all.

Of course, once I get to talk to Lizabeth, then I would let her know I'm a friend of Benji's, and he asked me to pick her up.

PD: Loved the dragon surprise!!

I don't really care what Jacob wants, in a way it is my job to make his life difficult. But if the player does not want a scene then we skip it and focus elsewhere.

Because neither she nor Lizabeth know you, you have not mentioned Benji, and:

There is a dragon statue right there where the google photos glitch out. Seems like I had to take that and make it something more. :)
The dragon's face is even blurred out, see for yourself. :)

Of course.
I've added a Put a Face to a Name roll and a Hit the Streets roll to my post

The question is going to come up:

• What did Lizabeth find that caused all the trouble?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Maybe some kind of powerful/dangerous magical artifact that was lost in the Thames long ago?

Without Rhiannon we have the choice of letting the plot point with the demon bits and the members of her Hunter's Society drop. They or Shelyna can take care of that in the background.

But if we want to deal with that ourselves, and keep Charles and Jordan around, we can do that too.

Decide amongst yourselves.

I am sure that statues near the river banks know Lizabeth. Seems like this might be enough to justify a Persuade to get them to tell you more.

Add that roll, either to the existing post or in a new post with some more persuasive talking.

Sorry, yesterday was a complicated day (and all my troubles seemed so far awaaaay), and I couldn't get to post.
I'm all in for bringing in more magical artifacts from ancient times!
In my opinion, we probably have too many threads right now, so we can safely leave this one in the background. But I'm happy whatever way this goes.

Sounds nice. :)

Added the persuade roll!

I think we all know Mark's motivations. But are you —the player— wanting to get something out of this? You defined your relationship with Shelyna, but it does not sound like there is any way this will get her to... be more receptive to your amorous advances.

My impression is that she will know fully well what you are doing, but, from your descriptions of her, she will politely ignore it?
