Not THAT bad.

I DO much prefer games with consequences. It makes it all so much closer and dearer when you have real danger on the line

Which is why I rather loathe the FLB, in a way. SO BORING.

grabs two of them and SHAKES THEM "DO SOMETHING!"

Oh I think there were LOTS of consequences, if the PLAYERS choose them. Damn near everyone took serious existential hits. How they play them out is up to them. I'm not a full time ST. G

I sent poor Shades a small dissertation on how I play my characters as they would need to in my game-world to survive and succeed. There ARE things out to get you, Hunters, Technocrats etc, and they WILL notice things that are -- anomalous.

Does August have a fear of heights now? Or just "falling from them"? ;)

Just because YOU OOCly know the ST isn't sending Hunters after you, should your characters slack off and play as if THEY know that?

If you do, then the ST should send a Hunter after you. :)

L My point exactly.

Someone walks out of a hospital -- there are going to be cover-ups and firings, and word may get out to those who look for 'reality deviants'.

In my world, anyway

For August, his fall out is ... bad. The Dreaming was perfect. Now he's been there.... he wants back. BAD.

Damnit, Shades.

I want shortbread.

Awwwh, poor Auggie.

I actually HAVE Earl Grey and shortbread. Well. I ate the shortbread.

You monster!

*Hangs head*

Okay, I had scones with my earl grey this morning. Forgiven.

Sloo, whatever happened with the Willworkers who stormed the boy's house?

I'll agree to all that (Fallout) BUT I will also stipulate that a good long-term ST will let it rest. Lay in wait.2-3 years game-time goes by and BOOM.... at the worst moment. There you go. *nod*

BRB Folks

Good point, SL. They could/might/would (?) wait, possibly to collect more info before jumping. You're right.

Stormed the house?

Yeah, (as an example) August might seem fine now, but let's say in a while he has to climb a height, then suddenly out of the blue... "You suddenly feel as if your stomach drops out, and your vision swims in front of you as you cling to the ladder. Make a will check."

Fortunately....head trauma can sometimes wipe memories. 🙂

God, that was so long ago. I have the facts all muddled up.

Physically; they have not had time to be encoded to the hippcampus.

The willworker that was lurking in the yard?

You know, I don't know, and Liz never told me. Let's just say, Jer hates Jeff sleeping out in the backyard anymore, and the dog has a bell to ring at all times.

...I think Z has some fallout happening

Well, OoT, you'll note August does -not- have memories past the point of heading up to the roof.

He doesn't remember climbing, running, jumping, falling, or anything before waking up at the hospital... and that's with the HB.

nod Z is seeing some fallout sure.

The feeling of alienation might be unfounded...

Oh, I know. But I was offering an Autumn Person explanation for it, is all. G

I suspect Aug might have an emotional response to a tall ledge regardless of memory

nod More than likely. I can foresee a moment where he has to face height to gain the Dreaming.

yup

Z liked the dreaming, too. Road trip!

...though August is difficult to handle there.

wry Yeah, he's a real handful.

hey, I tried to play the appropriate reaction

You -totally- nailed it.

IMHO

....Wait, was Ice was supposed to get the hots for him, too? blink

Well, Z had a crush -before- he went all shiny

I know, I was sort-of joking. g

I am debating if Jer is curious enough to ask what the sidhe is thinking. He does sort of have that....
