Our GM (Joker) cracks us up with his portrayal of spirits....he plays
them depending on type and force...a force 1 watcher spirit is a little
funny looking creature that pops up, salutes *tonk* and says 'yes
boss...' and talks and acts in a kinda stupid little puppy dog
way... the higher the force...the smarter they get. He also has cool
ways of portraying their powers too...like the
time a spirit did confusion on our team...it popped up in front of us,
and says "hey guys...watch this!" and then starts spinning around real
fast...until we all got really dizzy and confused...

It's really funny to see the facial expressions and hear the voices
*chuckle* and makes the session so much fun...
