I hit the highpoints, Doc.
</Charles Winchester 3rd impersonation>
OK, Doc... Just to add to this, we have 8 players (7pc's and the GM's NPC
mentioned above) *6* of them are what most would consider magicaly active in
some way... 2 pys-ads, (doc, and a person who's concept is based of Buffy the
vampire slayer) 2 other Magical types (they seem to be limited spellcasters) 1
really WIERD shaman (This guy usues illusions and familiars to carry on a
conversation) and the GM's NPC who I assume is magicaly active. Oh, and
between the two of us did we mention the building was warded as well??
Add to this a Rigger from CFS with a love of old time TV and a street sam who
has a dislike of corps and is in general a conspiracy nut, and I think we'll
be posting more of our missadventures on a regular basis.
For example:
HM on meeting Buffy for the first time:
Buffy: She flips her just-past-shoulder-length hair out of the way as
she turns to appraise you when you walk in. "Hi, my name's Buffy," she
says, in a perky voice that you almost take to be genuine until you look
into her eyes. The eyes are an unremarkable blue, but around them is
cold and hard; faint stress lines speak of seeing things Man Was Not
Meant To Know.
HM: (My charecter, short for Howling Mad) HM slips of his headphones (and the
faint sound of really oldies music comes out... like 1960's beach stuff).
"Whoa, Hows the Vampire slaying Biz?" (HM has sevreal dice in Old TV shows
and the like)
Buffy:<After blinking off the initial shock - how does he know about it,
anyway?>
Pretty good, but I've been branching out lately. Given what we just
heard, I'm thinking of adding Blood Mages to the list.
HM:This time its "HM"'s turn to do a double take... and after he picks his jaw
up off the floor he gets a far off look and murmers "Naa... couldnt be. We
CAN't be talking about the same thing here..."
Dunno if it qualifies for DUMB things, but I thought it was hilarous when it
happened. Maybe it would fit on Jett's Shadowrun quotes bit?
And of course, the quote from my sig, which Doc said to me after having seen
HM change from Tres Chic clothes into a black hawaiian shirt with dark grey
flowers and stick his music player in a pocket of his lined coat.
THere are a couple of others if you want to hear them.
