... can I produce a photograph of the place that looks a little bit like the dragon's demesne but is actually a image formed by incomplete recollection of that place?
Sounds interesting. Before we deal with any mechanics and complications, what are you trying to do?

Are you trying to trick Stefano into believing you have what he asked for? He is a detail oriented person, so he will notice any discrepancies, and he needs enough images to build a model from, so a single photo will not be enough. Nothing says you can't have more than one at a time? Right? But the Notes on Channeling for the Spell do say:
Notes on Channeling says:
It vanishes as soon as it has served its purpose or within 24 hours, whichever comes first.
If you are experimenting, then you are welcome to try it and see what comes of it. Do remember, though, that the last time you tried probing the effect with your magic someone contacted Shelyna and put pressure on her to call you and ask what the bloody hell you were doing. But will you roll over for whoever that was? Up to you.

What happens depends a lot on why you, the player, are doing this.

I was hoping that he won't be able to discern the details. Now, I think I will have to convince him that he has to do it based upon his memories and photography is prohibited.

I'll wait to see if Benji is catching up with us in the timeline before posting. :)

Yeah. Benji's next post can be at your place, but we can also frame a scene at the station that moves the story forward before you get together.

We can get together and then drive story; or drive story first, which might interrupt getting together. It is up to you guys.

@Stalker05: Do you want to quickly resolve the immediate issue with Josephine and free you to be able to join the others, or do you want Mark to find there is an issue he has to deal with regarding his Ward which may keep him separate from the others for a while?
Aug 8, 2024 6:13 pm
If Mark is needed elsewhere to roleplay, we can cut to that and maybe roleplay this later. I mean, I don't know if there is an issue that I have to resolve with Josephine. I thought it was a kind of clock that I will have to tick?

If you had something planned for the station, feel free to interject it before Benji leaves but otherwise Benji will pack up and head to Jacob’s

I mean, I think I will have to lie to Stephano that the area is off-limits to surveillance. I was thinking that I will say the place belongs to someone powerful and they don't want the place to be photographed. Any suggestions?

We could tell him this is an MI6 secret venue, protected with 'ultra secret' anti-surveillance tech, and he should just forget about it.

You are not 'needed'. I am asking you if you want to pursue your own thing or join the others. The story can be set up for either option.
Stalker05 says:
... I don't know if there is an issue that I have to resolve with Josephine. ...
That is my question. She did not come home last night and did not make it to school —Mark was lied to by her friends, but he does not know that until you investigate.

I am asking the player if this is an issue that needs Mark's attention now (a search and rescue, maybe?), or if you want me to turn it into an issue for later (disciplinary action, maybe?). I can easily have her arrive home now, thus freeing you up to worry about other things, or you can find your character derailed into dealing with your Ward.

It is up to you.
Stalker05 says:

If we don't deal with her now, then we will leave it for later, but she is a person, so she needs personal attention if she is to play a significant role in the story. Let me know how much screentime you want her to have, and when you want to have it.

I have no 'plans', this is not that sort of game. The players drive the story. I was asking you if you want to have an encounter before going to Jacob. It might suggest answers about the Lizabeth item, but might also just slow down the progress there if you meet someone with a vested interest, especially if it is someone like Elliot Parry [ref] who comes demanding your time.

We can decide to make it a quick scene (though promising 'quick' is naive in the extreme:) or you can head to Jacob's and we can arrange to take it from there.

That might work to put him off, but also might get him even more interested. Depends how it goes.

He will still want 'payment', though. Telling him 'that thing we promised you, it is impossible' does not absolve you of your 'debts'. :)

Modelers are patient people, so we don't need to deal with this right now.

If Mark was lied to then he will definitely investigate it and make this into a personal quest. I, however was focused on Mark's gameplay and skipped whatever was happening outside with Benji and Jacob. I am sorry, but do you need Mark now? @oopsylon,@gnomius If not then I will focus on Josephine.

They can definitely manage without you.

Okay, no worries! In that case, Benji will head to Jacob’s

We’re good right now, I think, so feel free to focus on Josephine😊

Sorry, guys, I've been just involved in a last-minute trip, and won't be available until Wednesday.

(OOC in RP) ... OOC: So is the school over? If it is like done for the day, Mark will ask whether Josephine came to school.
It was morning and you have just finished breakfast, and I was wondering how you would approach the school at such a time.

If you wanted to wait till after school that is fine, maybe you spend some time with Jena, tutoring or asking questions or something? Or maybe it was late morning (you did get to bed fairly late) and school ends early afternoon today, or something?

Up to you.
Aug 14, 2024 6:38 am
I can definitely wait for the school to be over but I would still like to know if Josephine is in the school. Then I can wait.

Have you ever heard of a group called the Night Sisters?
Is it possible to Put a Face to a Name with factions instead of individual characters? Which Circle I should roll if this is the case?

Factions are a new mechanic, I don't recall the book saying anything about this question but it seems like an obvious extension of the Move.

Roll Put a Face to a Name with Wild. (I now the 'Night Sisters' name is confusing, and we may change it, that is the name the kept feeling right when I put them together (before they had a Circle).)
