(IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
Within Mrs. Meecher's classroom, the lesson continues to forge ahead, in fits and starts. Lucinda has moved up into Vanessa 's seat, volunteering to pass out sheets of paper, answering questions, even grabbing a lost dry erase marker that slipped from the teacher's trembling hands. Lucinda is the very image of the perfect student today. She has even forgone the pink cowgirl boots in favor of respectable patent leather loafers.
Lucinda waves Summer forward to occupy Clarence's seat. She flashes Summer a wicked smile. Still smiling, she whispers to Summer, "On Friday, this will all be worth it."

Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
ha ha, I felt like playing the thermonuclear option. The other stories have started hinting in this direction. Have we fully worked out Clarence's history? I think I will throw another atomic wrench into it.

Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
Friday. Friday Friday Friday. The sky falls on Friday.
Summer gets up and moves into Clarence's front-row seat, uneasily aware of the eyes of other students on her. Lucinda is acting…bizarrely normal. Mrs. Meecher seems to have pulled herself together at least a little, though, and that's good, even if it's because of Lucinda and her slave collar.
She's so tired…she wishes she were back home, wherever home is. Real people have a home; what could home be for someone like Summer?

It is a quiet time in the classroom as Mrs. Meecher assigned a brief in-class writing assignment on the poem she just read. The students are remarkably into the lesson this time.
Lucinda is writing notes quietly, and then she reaches over and grabs Summer's arm like a drowning swimmer grabbing for rescue. "I... don't know what just happened... I need to get out of here..." She stumbles to her feet, and then collapses to the ground.
Her eyes flutter open as Mrs. Meecher kneels down above her. Lucinda says, weakly, ""I'm sorry... I know what I have to do. Don't tell my mother..." Lucinda glances over at Summer and winks.
Flustered, Mrs. Meecher looks at Summer, "Could you help Lucinda to the nurse's station?" Her eyes are fearful and uncertain.
The door to the classroom bangs open, though there is nobody there.
okay, Clarence is back in the room. Sort of.

So... what has my dark insight shown me? Depending on the vision I recieve, my actions will vary.

Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
Seth watches Frederick, taking into account all of his scents and mannerisms, just as a predator watches it's prey. "They mark me? I'll have to take that into account... So, what kind of hunter are you then? What is your prey?"Q.Q Elf wrote:Frederick shrugs. "The way you move. Your choice of seats. Your interactions with others. They mark you...
"It's the pills, you see. My therapist likes when I can speak the music. I taste the colors, sometimes. There's something off about you. Or maybe something else in there with you."
mc voice: Okay, you can leave Frederick alone& go off to do your thing if you like. You don't need to interact with the NPCs
Well jeez Q.Q You tell me to go off and do my own then but then give me this interesting bit of info?
You fiend you!

Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
No one can see me... hear me... or feel me... I will get their attention though, one way or another.
A piece of chalk floats up to chalkboard and furiously etches out a picture of a staircase, a staircase leading up to a shining door. Making sure the chalk screeches nice and loud, the following message is written by a ghostly hand: "YOU KNEW!"
A chair is then picked up and smashed against the wall, wood splintering everywhere.
You are cowering, afraid, good! I will make you suffer a little longer, set an example, yes... you will pay for all of your horrible deeds.

Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
Summer is just hauling Lucinda to her feet when the chalk screeches and the chair is smashed. Tiredly, she says, "Really? A poltergeist? Or is one of you secretly Carrie? Raise your hands, who needs this shit?"
shutting down Clarence: 2d6-1=3 whee!

Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
From the bathroom Seth can hear the sound of breaking wood, he ignores it for now as he watches Frederick, waiting for his answer. He may have another prey worth taking down...

I had my doubts about her at first, thinking that she may have been worth letting go, but now she mocks me, even in death?! I'll show her!Metal Fatigue wrote:Summer is just hauling Lucinda to her feet when the chalk screeches and the chair is smashed. Tiredly, she says, "Really? A poltergeist?

[2d6+2] = 5+2 = 7 A chair leg floats up into the air and rushes towards Summer, slamming into the side of her legs. This was a vengeful swing and added an extra harm point to the damage. In turn though, Summer will be allowed to counterattack and deal one point of harm as well, right?
Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
sometimes, it is just misdirection...
Frederick smiles, and says, "I only chase people online. My therapist thinks it's unhealthy, but what's the harm? She deserves it anyway. The slut. There's always more sluts, you know?"
I guess I wasn't sure what you were intending when Seth went into the hallway.
Sometimes you need to hit me over the head with your intentions... Who you want to involve, how you want a scene to go down, and so on.
Of course, every one is giving me a ton of hard moves to figure out now! I don't know if that's good for me or not, but it's funny that it all is breaking loose now.
Okay, time to get back to the classroom.

Victoria somehow has a huge cross in her hands, whispering, "Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur Nomen Tuum..."
The temperature in the room drops below freezing, and everyone can see their breath crystallize in the air, with nostrils pinching with cold as you breathe in due to the frozen air.
Lucinda screams and covers her face in actual fear. "No! Not again! Stay away!" she screams, her face resembling a little girl.
Mrs. Meecher collapses to the floor. Marcus bolts from the room, leaving a wet puddle in the seat of his chair. Other students start running towards the door.
mc voice: Good stuff, guys!

Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
okay... Parsing Clarence's action. Did you pick up an Advancement? It's difficult to run it all down on my phone. I really need to write this stuff down in a notebook...
So there intent is to use Vengeance, I think, after tagging people with blame, yes? That's cool. It's what you should be doing
You need to tag them with the blame first, though. I think you can accomplish that a couple posts above, but I'll need a roll for that if only because you are tagging Summer and not a NPC.
Then you get the Vengeance thing.
Actually, take your Vengeance result (the roll of 7), tag Summer & take a consequence, and then roll the Lash Out.
Does that make sense?
...
oh, and I'll give Lucinda the blamed condition. Isn't "say Yes" one of the rules? Or is that before AW?

Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
Advancement, yes. I've been keeping track of my experience gained on my Ghost Sheet. Take a consequence for casting blame? Not sure what to pick... I don't see casting blame section in the reference pdf. I can certainly roll again for Lash out, but if its done out of vengeance, it will make use of my dark stat, just as a reminder. [2d6+2] = 7+2 = 9 Okay, same difference from the looks of things. Do I pick the consequence associated with the Vengeful attack, or does the victim do so?Q.Q Elf wrote:okay...

Re: (IC) Acrewood College Prep - Homeroom, scene 3
Seth nods his head in understanding, "I suppose there are always more. Better head back to class, sounds like something is happening." Seth waits for Frederick to head back ahead of him, mentally cursing himself at the fact that this whole conversation was pointless. He then heads out and continues with his plan for Mr. Finney.Q.Q Elf wrote:sometimes, it is just misdirection...

~~~~~~~~~~~CLASSROOM RETURN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Actually gonna save this bit for the future actions of the others, it will probably take a bit before Seth returns so I'm not sure what he will be returning to...
