"We need to work on your name later, I'll go call you Crow for now." Ashley decided as she conversed with the group, it appears that K-Pop guy and the crow have a history, something she should inquire for later.

"That's coffee, think of it as a surge of energy in liquid form. It seems it is more effective on you since you typically don't drink one."

She took a glass of water and placed it near the Crow.

"Drink up, I hope this could help you."

@Guardian Angel Haruki, bond looks good!

I'm down with your in-character actions too, but Pick Locks, Hack Consoles isn't the right move for this--you're kind of trying to do the opposite lol. Let's call this a Challenge Fate: ELE? It'll be the same draw, you'll just use the forecast from the card you pick instead of the ones from Pick Locks, Hack Consoles.

@Guardian Angel Haruki No roll necessary--I have a real, physical tarot deck here and through it I can push my mastery of that I'll draw the cards from, and you pick from the draw.

Your ELE is 2, so you get:

The Moon - Negative - Something unknown or unknowable interferes
Temperance - Neutral - You are met with an equal and opposite reaction

@Guardian Angel Haruki Good deal, I'll write something up in just a bit!

@Digmata Ope, you're right >> hope you don't mind me giving you the next three cards off the pile. Your GEN is 3, so your Ready For Anything cards this uptime are:

The Fool - Neutral - You become who you are needed to be in this moment
The Hermit - Neutral - Your actions isolate you
The World - Positive - For a single moment, the world bends to your will

@ctrlsaltdel

Since Emily has a Tie to Luka now, what do you think of this as Luka's Tie to Emily?

1 "Emily must be shown that I am something far grander than some fraternity tribesman." 1

@Guardian Angel Haruki i didn't see the metatextual angle of Scheherazade coming, but that's very fun

also, both of you, make sure that you're recording both the maturity and the affinity on your ties. everything should be set to 1 at the moment since you just formed those ties, but when your ties change, your maturity and affinity will increase. both are important because maturity gets cashed out as experience, and affinity can be used to supplement draws that use your weaker stats.

The rulebook recommends you write them like this, but as long as you record both maturity and affinity I don't mind if you do it differently:

(Maturity) Bond description to Person (Affinity)

So for example:

1 Diana takes charge when there's a crisis 1

@Digmata, that sounds like Investigate to me. I'll give you a good bit of detail here--you played The World--but what question do you want me to focus on?
