@Joshie Went ahead and rolled for Assess the Situation. Gonna go with: What here is the most vulnerable to me?

This one would be quite obvious. For now Dragoon is blinded and if she would attack anyone, it would be Network who is currently closest to her. Combine that with the fact that Lux just threw a car at her, and yeah... obvious.

btw, I'm a bit behind, but I'm slowly catching up. Caught a bit of a surprise cold mid Sunday.

Awww what a shame, no fire ants running around to chew up coincidentally exposed SATCOM wiring or amything equally odd.

I can't preemptively use the Defend move on Network, can I?

Riley marks a condition for unleashing her powers to save the civvies. What's the condition?

@Hyper HarlequinYou get to choose the condition yourself, actually.

Well, she's unleashing to hulk herself out so why not Angry?

Besides, she was already be a bit pissed that we were forced to run this particular sim anyway.

@Hyper HarlequinSeems legit.

Actually, would this be considered defending someone from an immediate threat? If so then I failed the roll >_>

@Hyper HarlequinDepends on what you're trying to do, exactly. Also, can you put links to the rolls here so the GM can see them.

I did link it. I rolled a 6 for the unleash roll, which I linked, but I have +2 Freak so it was an 8. If instead I were rolling Savior then I have a +0 and thus failed the roll.

And she was going to jaws of life open the SUV doors.

Ah, I missed that somehow. Anyway, sounds more like an Unleash Roll to me, so I say go with that, but you coukd also wait to see what @Joshie says if you're still unsure.

Depending on what you do narratively, you might get away with an unleash.

What Riley is doing would classify as an unleash.

guess swarm's just gonna live la vida loca

NOTE: You guys did nothing wrong, just posting so all of you can see this. This is a response I gave in a PM and after re-reading it, decided that it would be fair if you all saw it.

So, based on a PM, a heads up/reminder on how the game works:

In a tabletop setting, the flow of the gameplay is based on 'doing' things. You don't propose an action, roll for the results, then narrate like a traditional game. This is a narrative based game. Here, you narrate and based on what you do in the narration, you roll to see what happens next.

In short, you don't tell me that you are going to throw your shield at Red Skull, roll the dice, then I determine if the shield hits or misses... You 'post' that you sling your shield at Red Skull, thus meeting the requirement of directly engaging a threat, which you roll. If you roll below a 7, then that doesn't mean that you didn't throw the shield. It doesn't even mean you missed. It just means that I have a right to narrativly turn up the heat on the player who rolled the low number. That 'could' mean you missed. But not always.

When you think about it, you are trying to write your character to be as cool/interesting/dramatic as possible. And my job, even if I sometimes have to drop the hammer on you, is to help you in that goal. If you are stuck in wondering how you can write a post so that you can roll a move, you're missing the point. Instead, post what your character does or is doing, and if you are in doubt if you activated a move after posting, then ask. )

What I'm saying, in general, is that rolling first, then posting is heavily restrictive and you are handcuffing yourself and the game system in general.

Don't worry about thinking of moves and die rolls if it will hold you back. Just narrate. Add to the story at large. This game gives you A LOT of storytelling power (as most have already realized) If you have questions about the setting or if a certain action is possible, etc, ask questions as that will also help flesh out the setting.

EDIT: Also, if you require me to narrate something to help clarrify the narrative situation a bit better, also feel free to ask. For example, if you are waiting to see what is going to happen to Network.

Been quiet. Anything needed from me?

I think we just need a post from @Grey and @Hyper Harlequin.

Or, at the very least, just one of them. We technically need a post from@Ermine to, but given Andrea's situation, it isn't as urgent as the other two.

My post, if I had one, would be SUPER short. ><

"Andrea moves around some sliders and submits the data."

Given our extremely heavy narrative focus, I didn't think this would be beneficial. ^//^

Okay, now that we know more about our characters...

...who are our pairings? And what are they called? AND DO WE ALL SHARE AN OTP?!

I think we can all agree in SwarmxFaust being a thing. Not a canon thing, but still a thing.

Aside from that, not to sure. From what me and Liliya have been discussing, Morningstar(LuxuriasxPolaris) has the makings to be a thing
