lol, in my experience ideas rarely survive contact with the players no matter what their powersets are, I'm in no way upset about it

going forward I will remember, all caps when you spell the man's name
i'll let this sit for bit so that @Digmata and @Guardian Angel Haruki have the chance to chime in if they want to. If no one does anything, tho, I think I can say that we'll be moving on to the next scene. Planned to have a fight here but you all did a good job of talking your way out of it =O
"When it comes to who we are, you may think of us as the Reader, the Writer, and the Reveler." Luka spoke, gesturing to the respective owners of the pseudonyms as he introduced each of them. "As for why we have Eidolons, like the Writer said before, we died in an alternate timeline as a result of an explosion you caused. On our way to the afterlife though, a Shade intercepted us and offered a mulligan with the added bonus of also having Eidolons this time around."
Simonsen's gaze locks on to Luka. He narrows his eyes; that might be out of suspicion, but he could also just be shielding them against the dazzling light that hides the Reveler's face. "An alternate timeline? And you got your powers from a Shade? Who brought you back to life? I've never heard of a Shade having that kind of ability. Hell, I've never heard of anyone having that much power." He chews on his lip, and you can hear the gears turning in his head (with flakes of rust coming off, and squealing with protest, but they're turning nonetheless).
Until that train of thought is violently derailed by the spectacular arrival of the Crow.
Simonsen takes an instinctive step back as something flies through the diner window; as it crossed the threshold, its colors change in the same radical way as everything else inside the diner before it lands behind the counter. He stares at the preening bird with a slack expression as it speaks.
"And I am the Crow!" he said, adding onto Luka's introduction. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, man who works on behalf of fields..." He paused, tilting his head to the side as he considered something. "Or... maybe not pleased to make your acquaintance? I'm actually not sure what's going on right now."
A pause.
"Ok, I think you're all fucking with me," he says. "I've never seen this many all in one place, but it makes a lot more sense that you're Shades trying to fool me than it does for you to be people I killed in... another timeline? Thought that doesn't explain the rainbow shit..." His tone is mild; his eyes, however, are no longer on the four of you. Instead, he seems to be looking around the diner for something. Is it an explanation for what he's seeing? A way out? Or is he looking for something to even the odds?
Hm, this brings up a minor grammatical point--is it still defenestration if someone comes in through a window?
@XxFellsingxX it does in fact--if all you want to do is break a window I won't even make you draw for it, doesn't sound like something that would be difficult
@XxFellsingxX Currently all the normal exits are being blocked by buffeting winds--I'm not saying you can't get in, but you'll need to figure out some way around that if you want to.
"We'll start, who are you? What is this IDLN? What are you doing here?" she started, her hands is still on the fire extinguisher.
Temperance - Neutral - You are met with an equal and opposite reaction
Ashley, Simonsen doesn't move to sit. However, he does take his hand off his gun, and looks at you for a handful of seconds. Clearly he's reaching some sort of decision; you can tell when he finally makes his choice because he nods at you, the gesture one of acquiescence.
"I already told you, my name is Agent Ray Simonsen. I work for the IDLN--that's the Inversion Defense League, North American branch. I'm here doing my job and hunting down that thing that just through." He jerks his head in the direction of the hooved, winged thing that Luka has lulled under his spell. "I'm just a field agent--not an egghead or an REMF--so I don't know all the specifics, and I don't know what you already know. The short version is, there's a world outside ours, and sometimes things from that world cross over. When that happens, we call it an Inversion, and they're dangerous. That thing is a type of Inversion called a Shade. My job is to hunt it down and destroy it before it can hurt anyone."
His eyes narrow and meet yours, Ashley, then scan across the shrouded faces assembled in front of him. "Now, my turn. Who are you, and how do... all of you? have Eidolons? I've never heard of anyone outside of the IDL having one."
In this case, your "equal and opposite reaction" is that he's prepared to answer your questions--but you can tell that he's only going to play ball so long as he gets some answers, too.
Temperance it is! @rush99999 has a point about risk, but you're all still undamaged and those negative cards have to get played at some point =D
@Digmata ope, you posted while I was responding, but yeah--you have been setting this up, Reveal Your Master Plan is perfectly appropriate. 3 GEN, so from the bottom of the deck you get:
The Hanged Man - Negative - You must make an impossible choice
Temperance - Neutral - You are met with an equal and opposite reaction
The Devil - Negative - You get what you want at a price you can't afford
Temperance is the Crow's dissonant card.
