Paying the Price (OOC)

We will make a plan to get the PCs together once you get back. Persephone knows very little about the supernatural world, so it makes sense for her to seek out a guide, and who better than Emma's guide. :)

I like this choice! It will also give her strong motivation to consult with Benji, once she learns about him. And it will be fun to RP

Cool. You can add to the narration in any way you like.

Looking at the sheets:

@Drgwen: Remind me why you have +2 Mortalis and +2 Wild? You seem to have one more point than you should? Did something give you that? You start with Mortalis 1, Night -1, Power 0, Wild 1 and then get to add 1 to one of them.

@Delirium: Don't forget to update your sheet. Increase your Heart, clear the Corruption and Mark that Advance, and Mark Mortalis for calling in Bev.

Also, if you want, you can put the images in your gallery in a column block for more flexible layout:

I have no idea! An errant click, perhaps? Apologies; I'll fix.

No worries. The downside of easy-click sheets is that they are easily clicked.

We need to do something in the fiction first before we can roll. Any rolls would be based on what you do.
It is an difficult situation. There is no guarantee you will be able to 'get it under control'. The many Misses leading up to this resulted in a Chablis being a vampire (though that was always probably the case) and her being desperate and starved, and, and most importantly, nice, as in not someone you wanted to kill... even if you have to.

It is not a neat, controlled situation. But it also is not hopeless.

• What would your characters do if they were real people in a real world and Chablis was a real person too?

Sorry that I was not clear. She is lapping up the blood as fast as it comes out, but she is a vampire so she wants to bite what she eats so she is chewing on the tube and the blood-covered door. Sucking on the tube could cause the vessels to collapse, so it is better this way, as Bev would point out. :)

What you are doing is working, you just have to keep it under control long enough for Chablis to get enough blood in her to calm down a bit. But the act of feeding is not a calm thing, even Benji might do you 3-Harm when he feeds (and that would kill someone like Bev), so there is a clear lack of control in the act.

You will need to impose that control.
Not passively cooperating. It is taking too long.
Absolutely. Emma's instincts have proved correct every step of the way. Not to hurt the vampire because it is Chablis, to use fresh blood not the bagged stuff Bev brought, to not allow a bite, and so on.

If Emma keeps trusting her instincts she may be able to pull this off.

At its most essential you could Keep Your Cool to avoid losing control, but that is a base-case and you probably have better tools at your disposal.

Maybe you use the threat of taking away the blood to Persuade her to behave? Maybe you threaten her with the return of the scary demon lady?

Persuade would require your getting through to her, though. Maybe your words are persuasive enough? Or maybe Persephone needs to get her game-face on and pin Chablis down for the duration? (poor Bev)

Options abound.

Whatever you do, we will probably need to talk about Sharing a Moment of Intimacy between everyone or some subset of everyone here.
