Topic: Stare into the Night Q&A
Subject: Cyrene La Croix v2.1.2
Okay, so after having a little back and forth with Boo Boo over the Essence/Taint thing, I went back to do some adjustments to the character sheet and, as I was doing so, figured I might as well go ahead and work up an actual "Chosen of Azazel" Quality (much like the Vampyre Quality, etc) thanks to the chit-chat that's been going on here. To that end, I've updated Cyrene's Character Sheet using the new "template" and came up with this:

I think I've managed to edit out all of those annoying "question mark" things that littered this thread after our last crash. Our thread is looking much better now.

Topic: Stare into the Night Q&A
Subject: Character sheet update
I've done some minor tweaking on Alex's character sheet...
Changed the concept from "Survivor" to "Avenger" as, I figure, at this point in his story, he's certainly more the latter... I mean he's cooking Zazies in the streets, fer Pete's sake!!! Also, it works better with that "destiny" thing that I made reference to in my last post. (I think I may have discussed this "destiny" with most of you OOC way back when we first started this game, actually... If you want a refresher, let me know).
Also, I cleaned up/organized Qualities, Drawbacks, Skills and such... And for Boo Boo's benefit (as well as having a quick reference of my own), added the various effects that could be created/utilized with each of Alex's listed metaphysics. I'll be happy to do the same for the rest if anyone likes.
Aaaand, I think that's it for now...

That took longer than it should have for what it is. Just glad I finally got something done to get back into things.
It did get my mind spinning on some other facets of this little saga that I need to get back to, as well... Check in with Joe, etc... maybe another Lucius appearance at some point, especially considering that Cyrene's in town... I have the thoughts! lots of the thoughts!

Topic: Witchcraft: Stare into the Night
Subject: Down the rabbit hole we go
The little grey fluffball had coerced him into opening a can of tuna for her in exchange for an explanation as to what in all the hells had just happened outside and, as Smoke ate, she started relating to him all of what she'd seen in Rosie's dream. Rosie and this Alice-thing had actually been friends a long time ago, perhaps the best of friends, even. Just normal girls that did the things those normal girls do with their normal friends, Then, there was the clock that somehow wasn't a clock and, somehow, these normal girls had recognized that fact and took it upon themselves to destroy the thing, Alex felt his stomach lurch, again, when Smoke detailed what had happened, then, the clock becoming some kind of monster, killing Alice, then dead Alice killed the clock-monster and died again in the effort, If he'd been a mundane, he imagined, just the thoughts of it all would have fried his psyche, if a mundane could even bring themselves to believe any part of it was true.
Lord and Lady, Alex sighed, shoving a hand through the mop of his hair as he tried to get his mind around all of what the bast was telling him, It's no wonder Rosie's so f^(#ed up about time and clocks, that poem's making a lot more sense all the sudden, His fingers untangled from his hair and moved to fish a cigarette from his jacket pocket, reminding him, when they didn't find the familiar feel of the battered leather, that he'd left his jacket in the front room, Is that why she's so oblivious to her own potential, too, he wondered, pushing away from where he leaned against the counter and heading for the front room and that cigarette he felt the need for, She witnessed Alice's power and it scared the livin' s#!t outta her, mebbe? Some kinda PTSD?
Retrieving his jacket from where he'd left it, Alex shrugged back into the thing even as his fingers sought out the pack of smokes in its inside pocket. The weight of the jacket soothed his frayed nerves, as did the act of nestling that cigarette into the corner of his mouth, and the feel of the pentacle-engraved Zippo in his hand as he lifted it to light the tobacco. ~Ching!~ He flipped the lighter open and ~scritch~ struck the flint wheel. The flame jumped to life and, as he brought it closer to the cigarette, Alex found himself staring all too deeply into that tiny speck of heat and light. What if Rosie and Alice are two sides of the same coin, he heard a voice that he wasn't sure was his own whisper as he stood there, transfixed by the flame dancing before his eyes, A beacon of Essence on one side, a beacon of Taint on the other, And what if that's why Alice is here? Looking for her other half. Deep in the tiny flame, Alex thought he saw the silhouette of a body, just then, and he wanted to blink but couldn't.
What if those halves get put back together, the voice whispered as the shadow-form writhed miserably within the lighter's flame, in the presence of and able to draw on all of this, Did the shadow-body just scream? ,all of us?
He felt his own Essence swell and gather, unbidden, in his fingertips. Entranced as he was by the Zippo's flame, though, he couldn't stop it, couldn't even get himself to blink himself free of the fire and the tortured soul roasting inside of it, until the flame exploded into a ball of fire large enough to finally light the cigarette, singe the hairs on his face, and snap him violently from his woolgathering. "S#!t," he exclaimed, flinching as he snapped the lighter shut and, instinctively, patted at his face to insure he wasn't on fire.
He didn't feel like puking, anymore, but his heart was threatening to pound out of his chest. "S#!t," he repeated, softer than before, as he took a shuddering drag from the cigarette and allowed his eyes to travel to the staircase. Penelope was outside with Alice, hopefully not getting herself killed, or would it be destroyed, in her case?.. Rosie was upstairs, sleeping a, now, dreamless sleep given what Smoke had told him,
"And you're standin' here doin' nothin' but wonderin' what it's supposed to mean," he grumbled at himself, "Actin' like some piss-pants little twelve-year-old who's never seen a ghost." Another angry puff on the cigarette found him standing at his desk, tugging open a drawer, and retrieving his pistol from inside. "That what you're gonna do when the Reckoning comes," he chastised himself under his breath as he checked the weapon's load, then snugged the thing into the waistband of his jeans, "just stand there blinkin' at it?
What would Em say about that?"
He exhaled a cloud of smoke, then, and tried to draw in a deep, calming breath, attempting to center himself and focus his Essence. She'd say she loves you, his mind told him,and that she believes in you, Your destiny is,
"Yeah, yeah," he cut off the inner voice, rubbing his freshly reddened fingertips on the leg of his jeans as he strode for the front door, "she might've been wrong about that destiny she liked to talk about, Some warrior of the light I'm turning out to be,
Smoke," he called, reaching the door and starting to unlatch the bolts, "Keep an eye on Rosie! I gotta go make sure that Penelope's,"
It was then that Alex noticed that Rosie's makeshift ward taped up by the doorway was no longer glowing; "What the hell?" He checked the one that covered his watch and saw that it, too, had ceased to shine. Does that mean Alice is gone, he wondered. How long ago did they stop glowing? Where's Penelope? S#!t!!!
He was pulling the 9mm from his waistband and, at the same time, throwing the last of the bolts on the door open, when, suddenly, he felt a brief flicker of sadness, followed by a peculiar sense of disquieted relief, and then came the soft knocking on the door. Alex tore the door open with a little more force than he'd meant to, but the sound of that knock and the feelings that had immediately preceded it, well,
"You're okay," he almost whispered on the relieved sigh that escaped his lips when he opened the door to see Penelope standing there. He found he couldn't keep himself from looking her over, head to toe, to assure himself that she'd escaped the horribly tainted Alice truly unscathed. Nor, when that appeared to actually be the case, could he keep himself from smiling a bit and reaching out a hand to touch her cheek, When his newly seared fingertips came into view, though, he realized what he was doing and his smile went from relieved to sheepish as he quickly withdrew that hand and scratched at his stubbled jaw instead.
"I was just, uh," he realized that his gun was still in his other hand as he stepped to one side, gesturing for her to come in, "I was just coming to look for you." He returned the pistol to the waistband of his pants and shrugged. "I was,"
Shut up, Alex!
"I'm glad you're alright," he finished, closing the door, again,
((OOC: Not my best, but it's getting me back into Alex's head a bit... run with it as you will. ))

Topic: Stare into the Night Q&A
Subject: Books and stuff
Boo Boo - You might want to pick a Martial Arts style as it kind of plays into the combat moves bit. Combat moves are a series of... well... combat moves that can be upgraded/bought (punch, kick, arm lock, spinning kick, etc) to produce better than average damage/effectiveness. My thoughts are, as Cyrene is French, Savate might be a good choice as it's French in origin (it utilizes lots of kicks, so I'd whip in some specialized kick moves for the Combat section). Other than that, and maybe a physical description (although we know she looks like the luscious Eva Green) or something, and you should be good.
Nimu - Actually, there are 5 books, now that I'm looking:
- Withcraft (Core book)
- The Abomination Codex
- The Mystery Codex
- The Book of Hod
and
- Power & Privilege (which I haven't utilized much at all).
If you like, I can try and upload them all to my Google Drive and provide access. Let me know. 
P.S. The "Chosen of Azazel" bit that Nimu tucked in there is the "*Special" designator that I'd put next to Cyrene's Association entry... I was thinking something exactly along those lines but hadn't quite put it together as succinctly as Nimu did.
P.P.S. I've messaged Meri... dangled the catnip and tuna, so to speak. Maybe we'll get the whole gang back into the mix.

Topic: Stare into the Night Q&A
Subject: Nice!
I like the updates! That's exactly why I floated the character sheet for opinions; you ladies are genius!
As to your questions, Boo Boo:
Q1) Can you break down this stuff?
Skills: Level (Cost/XPs)
Acrobatics: 2 (4/0)
I understand the skill by the name, the number after the name, is that the level? Then the stuff in brackets (Cost/XPs); what does that mean exact? Something I need to be aware of during the game?
A1) Yep, Acrobatics (skill name), 2 (skill rank), Cost (this is how many creation points were used to get the skill to it's current rank - used at character creation only), XP (reflects how many experience points were used to improve/add ranks the ability - used only after creation)... Aside from the name and rank, though, you won't really need to worry about this in game.
Q2) What are the Metaphysics? Is that like spells? I assume I can find those in the book that Eol sent me?
A2) Exactly! You may not find ALL of the listed metaphysics in the one book I sent you, but I have the others that I can give you access to (or, if you have questions and don't want to skim through 4 volumes of stuff to find what you're looking for, just ask.  )
And, yes, I am magical... well, I have a magic spatula, anyway... or.... I 'm a shapeshifter and I can post as ANYONE!!!! 
Finally, work kicked my behind today and diverted me from posting... working on that now.

Topic: Stare into the Night Q&A
Subject: Cyrene
I've updated Cyrene's character sheet with the stats/skills I've come up with for her, to this point.
She's still got some points to spend, of course, but I was sort of hoping for some input from the rest of the crew (Boo Boo, in particular) as to where we should spend those remaining points. Take a look and hit me with ideas, folks.
P.S. Anyone remember exactly how many points we used to create these characters? I seem to have lost that info.
P.P.S. I've edited Cyrene's post in the characters thread so that Boo Boo can access and edit/update as she see's fit, as well.

I'm ever so glad you're still with us Reralae... now, if we could just sweet-talk Meri into coming back. 
I do have a post (and a character sheet for Cyrene) in the works... unfortunately, I also have a customer who is trying to bury herself in my ear... it may take a minute.

Subject: Okay...
...I've gone ahead and posted Boo Boo's character concept to the Character's thread. Still got to work on the actual stats/powers/etc but i figured that giving everyone a look at the concept as I received it might benefit all concerned. I listed Cyrene right under Rosie's entry.

Subject: Well, hello there, Butterfly!
Hadn't seen you around in quite some time so I figured you were "out for the count," so to speak. Entirely my bad!
If you'd like to jump back in, we, of course, would love to have you back! As has been stated, no one does weird quite like our Dire Dustbunny.
As to Alice, that's completely up to you... this is our game, not just mine, you know?
Speaking of "us"... we're picking up a new player courtesy of Boo Boo. She'll be bringing us a villain in the employ of the Azazelites... a troubleshooter-type, if you will, who has been/will be tasked with tracking down the SOB who's been roasting the cultists... I kind of think Alex might be in trouble!
Welcome aboard, Boo Boo! I'll add you to the list of approved players and such very shortly...
P.S. Expect a post from Alex and Smoke very soon.

Subject: For what it's worth...
Janelle/Rosie will be sort of staying put, as well, just as a more "behind the scenes" character for now (Alex and Smoke have been trying to keep an eye on her for quite a while, now, and keeping her blissfully unaware of the power she's got...) As we pick back up, Smoke will be "babysitting" Rosie for a bit while Alex and Penelope get down to business (no pun intended)... What happens from there is anyone's guess.

Subject: Poor Alice!
But is she really dead... or was she dead to begin with... or did the Compulsion that Penelope used to convince the poor little devilling to do herself in truly even work? We may never know...
Seriously, though, as Reralae and Meri are absent, it was kind of necessary to write Alice out (since she was Rer's character to begin with and only Rer can do Rer's weirdness justice)... Might she be back if Rer returns? Who knows?
