I will be traveling for a few days over the holidays, but I expect to be able to post normally.

I will be around and should be able to maintain normal posting, but I am flexible with whatever is needed to reduce stress for others.

Hey Wyn you might have missed it but Brassa got an 8 to figure Kinklaw out. She's asking Who’s pulling Kinlaw’s strings? and How can I put Kinklaw in my Debt? and keeping one question in the pocket.

Dang, yes, I did miss that, thanks for pointing it out.
And because yours was a partial success, he gets to ask one of those questions as well about you. Remember that OOC, these questions must be answered honestly. It seems obvious that Brassa will want to be coy about the answer to the question "where are you from". So you don't need to answer that. But you do need to explain what it would take for her to open up.

Im easy regarding the holidays. I understand taking a break or maybe 'posting slower than usual' but I am not going anywhere special that I know of.
On the other hand, I may struggle to get my next post up in a timely fashion with Iron GM finale -- I'll do my best but it's my priority and I'm not sure how long the 3000-word adventure I have to create before Sunday will take me.

Hey all. I have been completely knocked over by the flu. I am going to do my best to get something in this round, but if I am the one lagging the pace, please just press forward.

This fell a bit by the wayside, but I haven't forgotten about it: Intimacy move. I am going to bring the discussion to this thread rather than buried in the game thread. Maybe it is valuable to have more in-depth discussion maybe not, but I think this is the first Intimacy Move of the game? And maybe it is helpful to newer players in the genre?
I am going to officially invoke Victor's Intimacy move (so he marks corruption). The way I have always interpreted intimacy is that it does not need to be reciprocated, so Brassa is in no way obligated to also have a moment of intimacy in order to validate Victor's. For Victor, it was all just a game ... and then Brassa gave it that little extra realism. Whether she meant it or not is irrelevant because, for someone who is desperately trying to engage and explore the shadows, having someone that he is beginning to trust in that world actually engage with him is above and beyond. And especially with the Aware's consequence for intimacy (corruption) this totally makes it fit better because it just sucks him into the shadows deeper than ever.

I think it's fine if Brassa doesn't experience the moment in the same intimate way as Victor. But the move does say that "Intimacy moves require both parties to agree intimacy occurred." In the current moment, where the intimacy is public and initiated to a large extent by Brassa, I don't expect this will be very controversial. But it would be best if Vis would 'confirm' in once sense or another that the scene is consensual in this way.
We did have one Intimacy move already, with Anne and Andre under the bridge. That is probably contributing to Anne's current dudgeon, given the way that Andre has other things on his mind than Anne right now.

Apologies for the delay, been traveling to the east coast for the holidays so it’s been a whirlwind of family visits etc.
Re: Victor’s Intimacy Move I'm totally fine with him invoking it, tho I would note that it wouldn’t be particularly intimate from Brassa’s view. That being said it makes perfect sense to me from a narrative perspective that Victor and Brassa have different feelings in the moment and the impact that it would have on them. So I like it ! |

@Elanir and/or Wyn - Could Farhad hear Anne's whisper? I am uncertain on how the manifesting mechanic works.

Manifesting just means that Elanir selects the aspects of Anne that can be perceived in the mortal realm. But once they can be perceived (as Anne’s sounds can, right now) they work like plain old mundane sensory inputs. So… the tabletop question is: Elanir do you have a problem with Farhad overhearing? If not, then it can just happen as far as I’m concerned.
If Anne would prefer to not be heard, and it makes sense that Farhad might possibly hear, then we probably need a roll from Farhad. This system doesn’t have perception checks, so Keep Your Cool seems like the most plausible roll, functioning as sort of a catch-all. I’m open to other rolls (are dragons known for magically powerful hearing?) If you want to propose something.

So I guess the real question is, how good is Anne at whispering? Since Farhad is sitting beside Cassandra.
Let me know what you think Elanir, and since Farhad isn't actively trying to find Anne or anything, Keep Your Cool is fine by me.

I think that dragons have excellent hearing, so Farhad probably heard everything Anne whispered to Cassandra!
