Two weeks waiting for the MC to post? Stick a fork in it, it's done.

I think I'm really just waiting for Ruke's or Q.Q's response to my actions

Yeah, I'm waiting on Q.Q

Please provide a motivation for Summer not to take the trip, MC. Summer cautiously follows the hulking attorney toward the exit. "No, I'm definitely not feeling quite like myself today," she says. "It's been a strange 24 hours." She's tense, ready to run in any direction; the ne...

"Who else is looking to…'retrieve' me?" Summer asks nervously. "And where are you 'retrieving' me to?" She doesn't especially want the school secretary to hear the answers, but she doesn't want to be alone with Man-Mountain Esq., Attorney-at-Law, either. Manipulating the lawyer ...

The man waiting for Lucinda/Summer in the office looks to Summer as though he might have been a Mafia legbreaker earlier in his career: a clean-shaven gorilla in a thousand-dollar suit. ("Clean-shaven" in this case including his head—he has no visible hair except eyelashes and bushy blonde...

Summer gets up, bows her head for a long moment to Mrs. Meecher, and turns to make her way officeward. You're starting to get some idea, she says to Lucinda on the way. I always hated you. I feared you. I felt pity for you. I wanted to be your friend, and you never let me, because you never really w...

No, actually, you don't have to. In fact, you shouldn't. Never drag anything anywhere.

Treat your NPCs like stolen cars, by which I mean let us play demolition derby if we want, and play to find out what happens.

Clark didn't commit murder! Human sacrifice isn't murder, it's just—it's a—um… OK, so Clark committed murder :D Totally legit response to the situation, though. Don't beat yourself up, Rukellian. One of the laws of Monsterhearts is "Play to find out what happens." Turns out that what happe...

Summer's old phone is presumably wherever Summer's old body went? Oh, Lucinda, sweetie, this is not what I wanted at all, Summer coos mentally. I didn't want your body, I just wanted your soul. Wanted to know what it was like to have a soul. Wanted you to feel what it was like not to have one. And ...

That doesn't leave me with much of an opportunity for a move, so I'll have to screw myself over instead. What is it with the pink boots, anyway? Summer asks Lucinda internally. So ridiculous. They clash with everything, they're totally impractical—and they are cosmic-grade slutwear. Nothing about h...

Skipping Summer forward an hour or so to school. As Summer entered the building, she was already aware of a difference. Where before people had looked at Lucinda with envy, deference and fear, now most of them, the ones hooked into the grapevine, looked at Summer/Lucinda with scorn, if not outright...

For the second time in what passed for her life, Summer prayed. Prayed for guidance. Prayed that she would be equal to this challenge. She didn't know what she was praying to, but she prayed. Gazing into the Abyss: https://rolz.org/embed?10918177 (InvisibleCastle is dead) Visions show her what she m...

Indeed…on the assumption that you all are in the US, Happy Thanksgiving.

Summer stands, shakily, gaze still on Mrs. Meecher's feet. The collar around her neck feels strange. Not that Lucinda hasn't played Bondage Barbie with her before, but this is different. "If Mother can't protect me," she says quietly, "and I certainly can't protect myself, then I'm in...

According to my records, he has a String against Summer. You could burn that to come in with a Hard Move out of nowhere.

Q.Q Elf wrote:Okay... Kate & Seth... you could go on exchanging Strings (1 String to each of you against each other for the prior actions, which was great), but someone's going to fail a roll at some point! :lol:

Nope. Singleton rule. You cannot gain more than 1 String on someone per scene.

MC, waiting for Clark to catch up before handling the result of Summer's move?

PCs have 4 Harm capacity. NPCs don't necessarily have the same amount. Someone's kid brother might take 2 Harm and die; the big monster in the woods might take 8; the Big Bad might not stay down for long no matter how much Harm you hit it with. I would not bet on being able to kill an angel permane...

Max 1 XP per highlighted stat per scene. If you have any Skin moves that give you XP under certain circumstances (such as the Hollow's "Better Than Nothing"), max 1 XP per move per scene. Also, you can't get more than one String on a given character per scene, no matter the combination of ...

The tears streaming down Summer's face are completely unfeigned as she kneels to put on the collar. "You know, when I was little, my mother made me wear one of these whenever she let me out of the cage," she says, choking back sobs. "Just like old times." On her knees, collared, ...
