Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (IC)

[Truwar]

Bastion blanches at Harry's comparrison. Ugh! Don’t EVER use the P-word around me again. That is somewhat akin to me comparing you to the drummer from Hansen. And I think Jenna is right, none of us should ever patrol alone, EVER.

I have a bit of an idea of the things we are going to end up tangling with and it sure as heck won’t be a charmingly animated hat. If we make one mistake out there, we are going to end up short a fully intact throat, if we are lucky.

[Yawielas]

Jenna's brow furrows in a worried frown. "Let's go find Craig, make sure he's allright. Those.....vampires....jumped us awful close to the pub last night. They might try again."

[Prustan]

(All going to try find Craig? Okay.)

Back at the pub, you see Craig and Doug standing in a corner, talking quietly, but intently, completely unaware of your presence.
What will you do?

[Yawielas]

Jenna waves as they enter and spot their bandmember and songwriter. "Hi, guys, how's it going?"

[Prustan]

They quickly stop their conversation. "Oh, hey. What brings you all back here? Did we set up another practice session?"

[Yawielas]

"Nah, I just come for the booze and the women." Jenna smiles, blushing a little when she looks at Craig.

[Truwar]

Bastion rolls his eyes at Jenna. We were just coming to see when you wanted us to practice again. We were talking and realized that we all have pretty busy schedules and decided it might be a good idea to do some longer term planning. His paranoia ramped up a bit by the confrontation with the vampires, Bastion wonders what the two were talking about that they did not want overheard.

((Notice Check: (1d10+6)[13] ))

[Prustan]

Bastion - all you manage to catch before they're interrupted is something about a meeting tonight that they really don't want to be late to.

Craig kind of stares momentarily at Jenna until he gets the joke, and lets out a bit of a sheepish laugh. "Well, what time did you guys want to practice? Can't speak for Doug here, but I'm usually free all afternoon and on Saturdays. Evenings and nights aren't usually good though - writing songs and going out."

[Yawielas]

"That leaves Saturdays, then, since I have school on week days. Saturdays and Sundays? Sound good?" Jenna looks from Craig to Doug, then to the others.

[Prustan]

Craig and Doug look at each other, then at each of you, and nod. "Weekends are good for me."
"Me too," says Doug.

[Adlan]

'Any time and everytime' Harry says, Ain't like I have somthing better to do.....


He says, but trails off, as he realises that stopping the forces of darkness and evil, might just be more important than a solid drum beat.

[Prustan]

"What about you Bastion? What time suits you for practice?"

[Truwar]

Bastion shrugs and answers a bit distractedly. Saturdays and Sundays are fine by me. We might want to practice at least once mid-week or we may end up forgetting everything we learned on the weekends. His over paranoid mind can’t help but wonder what kind of meeting these two young men would be worried about being late to on a weekday night.

[Yawielas]

"Good, that's settled then. So, uh.....What are you guys doing?" Jenna looks at Craig and Doug, suddenly having no good excuse why she would want to walk them home.

[Prustan]

"Well, I would love to hang out you, but we're going to be late if we don't go now."
Almost on cue, Craig's cellphone starts ringing. He answers it, with a look approaching dread. "Yes Coach?" He holds the phone away from his ear. You all can catch the gist of the yelling. When the stream slows, Craig puts it back to his ear. "We should be there in about ten minutes."
He hangs up, and says "See what I mean? Gotta run, but I'll be here Wednesday night if you want an earlier practice." He and Doug start for the door.

[Yawielas]

"Ok....Well...Can we walk you there?" Jenna looks from Craig to the others.

(OOC: I won't be able to post during the weekend, can only access the internet from work for the next 14 days because of moving.)

[Truwar]

Coach? Neither of them struck me as exactly the exercisey type… He grins impudently at Jenna and Harry. Want to tail ‘em? I am curious to see what kind of team they are on.

[Prustan]

As he starts jogging, Craig turns his head around and says "Wish you could, but Coach is really paranoid about team security. He'll boot us both off the team in a second if we turn up with someone else, without his express permission."

[Yawielas]

Jenna answers Craig:"OK. See you Wednesday, then!" When they've gone, she nods at Bastion. "Yeah, let's tail them." She grins.

[Prustan]

(Okay. Those who want to try tailing Craig and Doug, roll Dexterity and Crime - or Acrobatics and Crime - and hope you get more successes then their detection roll.)

[Yawielas]

(I can only post from work, and I don't have my sheet with me. Could you roll for me?)
Jenna heads out without waiting for an answer, and tries to sneak after Craig and Doug.

[Truwar]

Bastion slips along behind Jenna, hoping that he will not be to fumble-footed and alert the two mean heading to see their “Coach”.

Tailing Check (using a drama point): (1d10+13)[19]

[Prustan]

Jenna's roll is 5 + 5 for a total of 10. What happens will depend on whether she wants to use a Drama Point or not...and how well Harry rolls if he joins in.

[Yawielas]

(I'll use a drama point.)

[Adlan]

((Prustan, think you'd be up to doing all the rolls?)

Harry quizically raises an eyebrow.

'You reckon he's our mysteryman?'

[Prustan]

(Harry's roll is 10 + 4 = 14, Bastion's is 19, and Jenna's is now 20. Harry - drama point, or no drama point?)

[Prustan]

(No answer from Adlan, so I'll continue without spending his Drama point.)
You all follow Craig and Doug without problem as they take a rather roundabout route to their destination - as if they suspected that someone was following them. But you were all quite surprised to find yourselves at the back of The Grumpy Mole, watching as they press something on the wall, and open up a secret, secure entrance to somewhere (complete with retina and handprint scanners).

(You now have about 10 in-game seconds where you could act, or not, before they enter wherever they're going.)

[Yawielas]

Jenna glances to the others in surprise, mouthing:" What the...." Then she moves forward as quickly and quietly as she can before the secret entrance closes.

[Prustan]

(Hmmm, how evil do I want to be... New Slayer, entering a secret lair/base, not knowing who owns it or what it's for. I'll keep thinking while we wait for Bastion and Harry's actions.)

[Yawielas]

(Hey, I trust those guys:) )
