Out of character chatter about Regroup can go here to avoid cluttering up the Roleplay thread.

OOC:

Use the OOC tag in your posts in the Roleplay thread, as needed, to clarify what is happening or suggest Moves.

This is for longer questions and answers related to that Roleplay. Basically: if it needs a back-and-forth, put it here.
General rules questions not answered in the Help! or Resources threads can go in General Chat or here if they are directly related to the RP.

Add a link back to the post in question so we can have context. After posting you can right-click on the orange header and select 'copy link address' (or whatever your browser calls it), then paste that in your OOC post.

Ha, I love that Emma just escaped a hell dimension where she was going to be a human sacrifice, leaving her friend behind. Then she doesn’t hear from them, and she’s like, oh well I guess I’ll work on my column. Borderline sociopathic! Brilliant.

Also, I should let everyone know, for the next two weeks I will be packing, moving, and unpacking, while also working, so I’ll be busy and tired. Thus I am likely to be a bit slow to reply, but I will do so! Apologies in advance.

(OOC in RP) ... I'm assuming Emma will hear from Benji/Pers eventually? ...

Persephone will only be back on this plane of existence tomorrow night, so you won't hear from her for a day. (large interpretation of 'tomorrow'.) We also don't know where her phone is, so she may have to deal with that, too, before being in contact. If Drgwen is out of contact for a while we can have that resurrection take even longer.

Benji has no phone signal (just like Emma had none till she 'got back and received a flurry of messages'. We don't know how long he will be 'down there', it may be a while, or not long, depending on what happens.

In that case, we can pick up when Emma goes back home? She needs to have the conversation with Sarah about moving out; she expected to make some progress on finding a place/job during the weekend.

It is probably simplest if Emma does not get contacted until after she gets home on Sunday afternoon?
The events happened on Friday night.

Actually, @oopsylon, do you want Benji to keep his rat buddies secret and gain a possible advantage from them; or do you want them to be discovered —possibly sparking an indecent— and learn something (or some two things) possibly-significant?

I don’t think Benji would make any effort to hide them so let’s say the guards notice the rats as they step forward to take the sword. Tchaikovsky is perched on his shoulder and the other two are sitting in his pockets.

Just wanna check in with you, @delirium , because my last post was intense. Let me know if it veers to hard into frenemy territory, or is too combative, or just in general makes you uncomfortable, and I’ll revise.

Don't worry about it! Though you should expect Emma to be combative as well in response

same goes for you, @Drgwen. Emma does have some narcissist tendencies (I intentionally wrote her like that from the very beginning), though she isn't really one. I dialed back some of the more malignant traits and didn't include others. But she definetly thinks highly enough of herself that it is very hard for her to accept criticism or accountability for her actions, so here we are. Still, I can write something else. She could just think all of it in her head as Pers storms away, without saying it out loud, for instance.

Oh no, it’s good! I mean honestly, both of them are hot messes who can be self-absorbed to the point of hurting everyone around them.

(OOC in RP) ... I assume either from Emma’s own stories or from when she was chatting with him in the evening that she either learned his full name or where he works, or in general enough to get in contact with him (Henry), yes?

Let's leave that up to @Delirium. Henry is a part of Emma's sheet.

@oopsylon: If you think Benji may know Alasdair's demonologist [ref], you can Put a Name to a Face [ref] with him. He is Night (vampire). (I don't know his name (or anything beyond what was written) so feel free to add one if you like.)

If you want to try flee, you would need to roll Escape a Situation [ref], but I am not sure I recommend that in your current condition. Up to you, though.

Leave what up? Do we need his full name (Henry Godfrey), or other details?

Persephone's ability to contact and associate with Henry. (Behind Emma's back. :)

He’s an NPC, so I don’t directly control him. Just keep in mind that since he’s a Relationship, he ‘demand attention, bonds impossible to sever without losing a part of yourself.’ That means that no matter what happens, the Relationships wants, or even demands, Emma’s attention and time ( for whatever reason makes sense for that character). Losing a Relationship (aside from something like the mentioned ‘bullet to the gut’) should happen because Emma pushes them away herself, usually due to her preoccupation with the supernatural. If they stop being a drain on her time by themselves, it kind of defeats the purpose. Not saying it is impossible for them to be lured away, but the playbook assumes they are very seriously invested in Emma.

As for Henry specifically, Emma did warn him not to talk to anyone about what happened, and she told him Persephone is a demon, which I think he came around to accepting, or at least took seriously by the time he left the hotel. Whether they swapped numbers that evening is up to you; Henry wouldn’t usually exchange numbers with a one-night stand, but Pers was very persuasive (mechanically as well), so maybe she talked him into it anyway.
