Paying the Price (OOC)

Sure. How do you to that? This is not normally a Move that can receive help, but it can make sense in this case.

'Tis true, numerically speaking. :)

Looking at the Move, though, (Persephone failed to keep her cool) he is likely to want to get away from you two and want nothing to do with you, losing you this lead (plus other badness (clock) you will discover soon), so, if you want to keep Gene as a useful contact, it may still be worth trying to get this over the hump into Partial Success territory?

No extra complications. :)

Nice save, @delirium. Sorry to have botched that up.

Oh! In that case, never mind about Joe. I was hoping he would be just outside but, if he’s not, there’s no reason for Benji to ask him specifically.
Cute :)
True! It’s kind of a big ask for anyone. Maybe I’ll focus on the ‘protection’ aspect then. Presumably Teddy knows people he could find and feed on himself if he weren’t forbidden to do so by Ravenhall’s people, right? Or was he relying on Elliot to find him prey?

Also, I’ve just now realised that I forgot to roll Put a Face to a Name for all those Vampire Lords that were brought up in conversation. May I make a few rolls now or have I missed my chance?

Go ahead. Add those rolls and let's see what sort of relationship Benji has with these encroaching vampires.

Nice! Looks like Ravenhall and Nicholas owe Benji a Debt (or he knows something useful/interesting about them). That’s going to be very helpful! Give me a moment to think about what the Debts might be for or what might be useful to know…

Did we roll a miss on Put a Name to a Thread? :)

Go ahead and copy this to the RP. Strikeout the oopsie OOC.

I just wanted to check in with @Delirium here. Emma was clearly annoyed with Persephone for not following her lead, for going in hot and aggro. I just wanna make sure that wasn't representing any frustration on the player's part. And if it was, I wanted to apologize.

Yes. Thank you for checking in. I did not get the impression there were OOC hard feelings, and I would hope everyone is mature enough to address them out of character if there were. But checking in is good, it normalises this sort of conversation and makes things easier.

OK good! I just wanted to make sure. I always like to check in when I'm not 100% sure. Around a table, it's often easier than via text, because you can guage non verbal expressions, etc.

And yes, I am also a big fan of normalizing check ins, and not just once, but as an ongoing thing.

Agreed, on all points. :)

If you need to, though the two of you talking over each other and contradicting each other seems quite in character for this scene, no? :)

Sorry about that! I do think it's interesting to see their very different approaches here simultaneously. I won't post again tonigh,though -- it's past my bedtime!
