Ok. I don't think their stories actually contradict each other, so lets keep it as is.
And goodnight!

Okay, so for Debts I’m thinking:
Lady Ravenhall owes Benji a Debt because Benji discovered that one of Elliot’s underlings was secretly reporting to Ravenhall and did not tell Elliot about it.
Nicholas owes Benji a Debt because Benji helped Nicholas hide from a group of vampire hunters when he got himself into trouble as a newly turned vampire.
Sound good?

Playing both sides on both counts, I see. :)

I rolled a 'Let it Out' to 'Spot a previously overlooked clue or advantage in the immediate area', because it seems more relevant than a general 'Keep your Cool'. I hope it's fine. Anyways, it was an atrocious roll (don't want to start breaking with tradition, do we), so I guess we will have to wait and see if Pers manages to find some clue...

I hope it's fine. ...What about this would have led to Corruption? Let It Out is specifically about 'tapping into the darkness inside you' (a dismissed thought about stealing a sexy outfit does not come close:). It is tricky with the Aware, I am not sure what but I think we need a little more, don't you? Hard to judge the consequences otherwise?

I figured sneaking into the club under false pretenses was dark enough to justify corruption? Emma has no intention of going on stage - she just wanted access into the locker rooms to check things out and search for clues. That's kind of shifty, no?

... Emma has no intention of going on stage ...Committing to the bit and actually going on stage, maybe to give Persephone more time to search, would definitely be a valid cost for this miss and carry Corruption, but that is not something I would demand of a character without checking with the player first. Aside from the fact that you can always say no to such an offer, I would not even make it without checking first, 'hard choices' need to actually be choices, so if one is a 'guaranteed no' then there is not a choice involved.
• How far is Emma willing to go?
Mar 2, 2025 6:52 am
It's not that I have any issue with sexual themes, per-se, it's more that it is something I can't see Emma doing. Flirting and some light teasing, sure, but that is where she draws the line.
Right now, she figures they could just leave after spending a few short minutes at the changing room and chalk it up to the club looking too downtrodden and they don't expect they will make any money dancing there. Whatever clues they manage to find will have to do. There are still other avenues she can think of exploring outside the club. Even if there weren't, she still won't go up stage and compromise herself.

Posted! With my own Keep Your Cool roll, which Persephone absolutely did not do! Two misses... this is gonna be bad/interesting. Which is to say, fun and exciting!

(in RP) ... she was still disappointed to come up empty-handed."Well, that was a bust" she muttered under her breath, and with a nod to Pers, started heading toward the door "- Let’s get out of here."
I don't really have strong ideas about the double-cost here. Do we want to get away free or get caught snooping? Getting caught could burn some bridges, but might lead to 'clues', it could also just slow things down.
Do we have ideas about what we are going to do next? That might affect what I do.
Mar 2, 2025 3:24 pm
Getting caught snooping would mean they would need to do a bit more then just look at some outfits, and right now, I don't see Emma willing to risk more than that. I want to see them leave the club, and since they passed on the opportunity for employment, returning would look mighty suspicious. Emma would want to double back to Sarah's apartment, now that Gene is no longer there they might have better luck cajoling Chablis out, or, think of something else.

Yes, I did consider breaking in, in fact. But first Emma will try to call Chablis from outside the door (she does have her number), and hope she picks up.

Mar 2, 2025 3:41 pm
So yes, Emma will break in. I'll wait to see if @Drgwen has anything to say before we leave the club before heading to Sarah's apartment.
Mar 2, 2025 4:10 pm
Don't forget, Chablis is missing too, (ref) after pulling a double to cover for Sarah's absence. So she either quit because it was too much work, or, worse, whoever had been preying on Sarah took out their frustration about her absence on Chablis.
And Persephone would definitely be comfortable just leaving! With consequences to be discovered later....
