After Arundel (OOC)

Talking with David in the morning and Persephone in the afternoon is perfect. And I think we decided Pers and Emma will meet in a coffeeshop, but I'm open to any other suggestion Drgwen might have.

That works for me! She'll arrive, looking a bit hungover or under-slept, depending on how it goes with her sister the night before! but yeah let's do a coffee shop in the afternoon. Say I sent you a text, finally, because I saw you in town (but maybe you didn't see me) and I felt guilty.

Would this be a good time to Put a Name to a Face for the statue of Byron?

OK. Roll and it let's see if we can make sense of the outcome.

I can see why the rule says this Move is only for when you first hear about someone. We have had some talk about it and there has been no indication that Benji has history with Byron, but also no clear statement that he doesn't. We might need to work on the trigger.

@Delirium: So the course of events is:

• In order to trigger One Way or Another you promised to serve as eyes and ears for Uskglass, this is a promise, not a Debt, so there is nothing mechanical enforcing that, but it will affect your reputation (if you are effective or not, if you follow through or not, if you brush it off, and so on, tells people about what sort of person you are).

• As a result of the above Move, Uskglass agrees to Overlook a Harm, so you Owe him a Debt.

The promise provides the trigger for the Playbook Move, the Move snowballs into Overlook, and Overlook results in a Debt. The promise is just that, nothing more.

Fair?

Completely up to you. If you want the guilt and all that.

You could just as easily run into each other right there in the scene. Whatever you choose.

The deal with Uskglass sounds fair, yes.

@Drgwen; Emma typically likes to sit down at the coffeeshop near her house and do some writing. They can encounter there by chance, or Pers knows she is likely to find her there and tracked her down. I can set up the scene if you’d like.

Sounds good! I like the idea that Pers knows Emma hangs out there and, so, arranged an "accidental" meeting.

I’ve added the roll to my post! It was an 8 so no debts either way

Presumably Emma Owes Benji a Debt for introducing her to Miriam [ref]?

This fits the level of things one can ask for when Cashing In a Debt '• arrange a meeting with an NPC in their Circle', and is therefore in line with Do Someone a Favor.

Yes, I think so! Plus a debt for coming to him for advice and entering his Web

True. I forgot about that bit.

I updated my debt ledger with two debts to Benji, and one to the Administrator.

Would this be a good time to move to ‘tomorrow’ (and the other thread)? Maybe we could skip to the meeting with Amira and Lizabeth? In the time between, I think Benji will just spend some time busking at the station to make some money but we probably don’t need to play that out
Feb 21, 2025 10:46 am
That sounds good.

The other players are already at 'tomorrow night', so, unless you hurry, you probably can't easily do that and show up at the party (to get a signed copy of Emma's book for Byron, maybe:), but showing up there does not seem in character for Benji even if we assume he knows the address, right?

We can also ignore 'time problems' and bring the characters together whenever it works for everyone.

Where does the meeting with Amira take place? Your place? Did Lizabeth agree, or are we just springing this one her? Go ahead and set that up for us.

Hahahah yeah, I wasn’t planning to gatecrash the party. I don’t think Benji would show up to Emma’s house uninvited like that without a good reason

Yeah, Benji’s place makes the most sense. He told Amira that he would have to ask Lizabeth if she would be open to meeting her, so he definitely got Lizabeth’s permission before arranging anything

Okay, I’ll do that tomorrow!
