yeah, Persephone doesn't realize it, but she desperately wants forgiveness or absolution from this man for her crime. Also, this is how her Debt is manifesting

Apologies that Persephone isn't being entirely forthcoming with Benji just yet, oopsylon! And did I forget anything that Persephone would have wanted to bring up?
Mar 24, 2025 3:38 pm
Yeah, Pers is trying not to just be an open book; she just started sharing this fact about herself earlier today for the first time, to Emma. She’s still not even clear if it’s safe to tell a vampire that she’s a demon! What if they’re like mortal enemies? Clearly she needs to talk to Wentworth…

I’d like to have that occur ASAP as well. We don’t need to RP her constantly being shocked each time she meets a new supernatural being.

I apologize; I should have had her learn this stuff as a part of her backstory. I’m enjoying her learning process, though, so I hope it’s not too tedious for others.

Not tedious at all! Emma is pretty much in the same boat, and I'm having a blast meeting new supernatural beings.

ASAP as in before seeing Zhiyu? We can easily do that. Or before you and Emma (et al.?) look for possible loopholes (we are unlikely to find any real loophole or ways to break your contract till that is appropriate in the game, but we can find fake news).

For smoother use of the rules of the game, probably. But I think it is more fun this way (except where it fights the system).

I think it is great.

No worries at all! That’s completely okay with me

Yes, she would like to see Wentworth immediately after her time with Emma, Benji, and Bev. She plans to barge into his office and demand his immediate time. Then she will go see Zhiyu.

And yes, she plans to work on finding a loophole, but I know she won't find one any time soon. Or, if she does, it will be the kind of thing that takes a very long time to come to fruition.

And I am glad folks are enjoying it!

FYI, I have a surgery in a few hours that may prevent me from posting for a day or two. No worry, though-- the surgery is a happy thing--it's a gender affirming procedure.

Congratulations and good luck!

Exciting! Wishing you happy results, and a quick recovery (for selfish reasons ;P).

If you need to delay, let us know when you are back. Persephone can either find Circe by the door (or the lift or whatever) and come back immediately, or we can waste some time on that if need be.

The food you ordered arrives promptly. If you think about it, you may notice that you were not prompted to pay for the order, or you may notice this discrepancy later, when you deal with credit cards statements (or not at all). Somehow it was just 'taken care of'.
Just wanted to say I didn't miss this part, but Emma will probably only notice it sometimes later.

@Drgwen; hope everything went well with your surgery, and wish you a quick recovery

Even if Emma does not notice, it still happened, and will come back later.

Also: Sierra Leone is 'West Africa', I knew that, but second-guessed myself while posting [ref] because of how far north it is. We can pretend Bev said 'West African'. :)

I can play and post occasionally. My posts will likely be shorter, maybe?

We will be happy with whatever you can give us, but focus on rest and recovery.

I'm back and ready to play. I've tapered off the heavy pain meds and am just mildly uncomfortable now.
Mar 29, 2025 4:51 pm
That's great news. (How strange to be celebrating 'mildly uncomfortable':)

Go ahead and roll it, the result can shape her reply.

Whelp. Sigh.

lol I must say I kind of love the way the dice can inject trouble and failure like that into a narrative. I am looking forward to seeing how Persephone spectacularly fails at understanding her sister.

Sorry for the delay, been a busy few days.
