(19:08:56) hey... it worked this week
(19:09:05) Things working? That's witchcraft!
(19:11:53)So where were we.
(19:12:16)When last we left off, Dunkie was Dunkieing it up (if that's how you spell it)
(19:13:17) Dunking it up?
(19:14:21)Fuma was just starting to chat Dunkie up. Is anyone else doing anything in the meantime?
(19:14:39)(Either fundraiser- or legwork-related)
(19:14:53) Fuma chats pleasantly and, oh so casually, inquires after Miss Daviar.
(19:15:51)(Were you revealing the nature of your connection to the evening's festivities, or just chatting him up as one of the guests?)
(19:16:33) (I would think that his staff is well aware that I'm the event organizer. Whether they passed that on to him is obviously up to you.)
(19:17:04)(Of course, but it still makes a difference. If you pretend to be discreet about it, it's only polite for him to pretend not to know.)
(19:17:41) (Well I was chatting with him in the station of being the event organizer.)
(19:18:17)Dunkie thinks at you. Thinks at you with a notation which I have yet to decide, so you're going to have to put up with quotation marks.
(19:19:12)(Ever's the riger right?)
(19:19:28)"I'm afraid Miss Daviar had other obligations tonight. The campaign trail is merciless."
(19:20:38)"I suspect you'll hear from her before long, though. It's not often we have supporters like you appear out of thin air."
(19:20:56)He smiles at this and makes a gesture with a wine glass.
(19:21:54)"I'm curious, what drew you to my cause?"
(19:22:06)("Luscious gams")
(19:23:00) "A pity, she is missing a fine evening." Fuma smiles. "As for my support, I must admit that the social politics of Seattle can be complicated. I imagine you have more supporters here who cannot speak up openly, but who nevertheless will be made heard on election day."
(19:28:35) (Do we have any canon info on his actual campaign platform?)
(19:28:48) (metahuman rights, for one)
(19:29:34)(There is some. Metahuman rights, SINs for the SINless, hope, a new tomorrow, all that)
(19:33:16) "I've long been a supporter of metahuman rights, and the plights of the SINless. Unfortunately the media is full of rather offensive stereotypes. Hopefully with your election, a more enlightened attitude will take hold."
(19:35:41)"May that come to pass no matter the outcome."
(19:36:24)"Now if you'll pardon me. If I don't make a speech soon, it looks like there may be a riot."
(19:36:57) "Of course. Break a leg." Suave and sophisticated smile.
(19:38:08)Indeed, there does seem to be a growing clamor. Dunkelzahn take the podium and begins his speech.
(19:39:01) Fuma listens of course, keeping his eyes open for any signs of trouble.
(19:39:05)A little wave of activity runs through the staffers, and a few break off and head out of the event hall.
(19:39:08) Or luscious gams.
(19:39:25) Like that. Fuma goes to investigate.
(19:39:36)There are some sightly gams, but unfortunately none of them can be said to be luscious right at the moment.
(19:39:50)Give me Perception.
(19:39:58) CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 3 1 1 4 4
(19:40:06) I think I'll karma that if 4 isn't enough.
(19:40:10)You follow the… karma? Ok.
(19:40:18) CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 3 5 4 3 3
(19:40:22) Well that sucked.
(19:40:26) I follow blindly!
(19:41:21)You follow the staffers out of the room. As you leave you think someone starts turning towards you, but they turn back immediately; probably something else.
(19:42:01) #Clip, anything going on you know about?#
(19:43:44) everguard4 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 2 4 1 1 3 3 2 3 2
(19:46:06)Clip mumbles something about how he's listening to the speech, could you please talk about this after.
(19:46:41) (Why must you make absent characters incompetent? :-( )
(19:48:20) Who ambushes Fuma as he heads after the staffers?
(19:48:57)No one. Some of the staffers seem to have gone off somewhere, but there's a little knot of them talking off in a corner of the lobby outside.
(19:49:11)(I asked Seiler what his plans were for this part, and the primary thing he mentioned was oohing and aahing over Dunkie.)
(19:49:14) Fuma approaches. "What is going on?"
(19:50:01) CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 5 5 2 2 2
(19:50:10) (...Karma that if 5 isn't enough)
(19:50:52) CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 5 1 2 6 5
(19:50:54) CirclMastr rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 4
(19:50:58) (Much better.)
(19:54:25)There's some very brief changes of expression on your arrival. One of them gets an unpleasant look on his face for an instant, another flicks his eyes towards a third, who very slightly shakes his head. You somehow manage to catch all of this. The third staffer smiles. "Campaign business. No need to worry about it."
(19:56:16)"And you? Came to the fundraiser and you aren't even going to listen to the speech?"
(19:56:36) "Yes, I do need to worry about it. Spill it now." (And I 'unleash' my Wired 3 or whatever it takes so I get my Init bonus back)
(19:57:17) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 3 1 1 1 2 3 6 5 6 4 4 2 5 5
(19:57:22) Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 5
(19:57:27) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
(19:57:31) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 1 4 5 5 1 4 4 1 6 4 3 5 5 5
(19:57:36) Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 6
(19:57:40) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
(19:57:42) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
(19:57:45) Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 5
(19:57:45) Stop rolling 6's!
(19:57:59)"No. You don't." His smile is thoroughly gone.
(19:59:08)The air has become rather less inviting.
(19:59:59) Lacking a stun baton, Fuma quickdraws his pistol instead.
(20:01:30)Well, this may have just turned into something that can't be continued in Seiler's absence. Did anyone have any legwork-related actions that would have occurred prior to the fundraiser?
(20:01:56) What, I can't take three thugs? :P
(20:03:08)(I think I have what I can do for now covered don't think they have a out side conetion I can hit on the prison besides don't think I would want to go that path this early in the time frame even if they did)
(20:26:42)Ok. Here's how things are going down.
(20:27:25)You people are free for the next 33-34 minutes. We'll reconvene at 21:00 (9:00 PM EST). If Seiler isn't on, game called for the night. If he is, we finish up the last hour and a half of our regularly scheduled session.
(21:00:01) Dinnertime, brb
(21:00:25)I see no Seilers.
(21:00:29)Mass is over, go in peace.
(21:00:50)>_> we need better chains yes yes we do
(21:01:15)On a positive note, though, his ISP is rebranding itself!
(21:01:30)oh joy to a name more fitting I hope?
(21:01:49)Instead of getting his internet from Comcast, he will soon get it from Xfinity!
(21:01:52)I think it was.
(21:02:14)oh damn he has my pitty then
