After Arundel (OOC)

Where are the in-laws visiting from? (roughly).

That is all I really need.

Hehehehe, loved the scene with the in-laws! ^_^

This has the potential to go wrong. Maybe a roll of Figure Someone Out (• how can I get your character to ... open up? trust me? not freak out? with possible followup if you roll well) can guide us?

It sure is a good thing we don't roll much in this game... though you guys clearly could use the practice! :)
I'm thinking... Having her freak out is the most obvious consequence. Unless you can think of another price that makes sense in the scene.

If she does freak out, that need not end the scene with her, but you might have to make decisions with other consequence (follow her but abandon your in-laws, maybe? need to restrain her, maybe? something else, maybe, though I don't really want to 'suddenly ogres!' this:).

This sort of conversation is very useful, we can calibrate our 'prices' such that they hurt, but avoid the ones that will fall flat because they will definitely be turned down (a 'choice' with only one option that will ever be picked is no choice at all).
Sure, that was just icing on the cake if you bailed on them again. :)
We can go with that. Having her stay with you ... and David ... and asking questions about what is real could 'complicate your life' a lot. :) ... but that also makes sense.

Do you want to do this? One smooth way to handle it is for her to run off now, but track you down this evening with the request for protection/safe place, that way you can get a clean finish with the in-laws and the group. What do you think?

Oh, man, that was indeed intense. We do have a real writer with us! Clap, clap, clap.

Alright, There you go. :)

Well, yeah. It's written right there in the character sheet... oh, wait, I see, yes. :)

Thanks, Delirium! :) Happy to hear you're having a good time! I've been having a lot of fun playing with you too

Consulting the Oracle...

Taking a look at the Move... Study a Place of Power does not seem to actually be about studying a place. I would 'reveal something that is not what it seems', but that does not help you work out how to use a dimension door you have found...

Since there is no one here, it also can't really show you much about 'the Circle that controls it' nor 'their politics and schemes'... :( though I can make it work if we do roll ): But that is my fault for putting you in a situation with no people in a game that —it turns out— has no mechanical way of getting such answers.

I would think your roleplay is enough to start working out how to use this thing. Tell use if you want to make it quick, or play it out in more detail. If you want to get out now, maybe a roll of Escape a Situation will tell us what it costs you (even a Miss will get you out). Or you can try connect this to your Establishment and use Let it Out to allow teleporting from here to there, the portal-pool would allow Crowley to make the trip as well (into your Establishment, mind), so you would not be abandoning him here (unless you chose to as part of your Corruption, or course:).

Okay, I think I'm ready to Escape a Situation, if you think Jacob has narrative justification to state he can find out how the portal works.

You have already used one of these portals (or something similar), and you have inherent teleport abilities. You might not know how to work it, but, for sure, you can manage to make it work...

The roll of Escape a Situation can tell us how well you control and understand these sorts portals.
