Arm the Homeless

[gaaaaaaaaaah]

[Oh wait what the fuck when did that conversation get there]

[Too late ded]

[no
Joan fucking DIES]

Joan, Yukari
Neither of you notice anyone approaching and continue eavesdropping. You both pick up on the sound of a long sigh.
"..I know. This city doesn't have the history for that kind of teenage violence, and everyone in the department knows it. But if it isn't kids being idiots, what do you actually think about this?"
"Well, stabbings are a pretty sensitive thing in this country, but we might have to consider that these weren't murders at all."
"Then what, Sonouji? Coordinated suicides?"
"There'd have to be an accomplice for that. Anyways, whatever happened, it was probably out of the box. We might make more progress if we look at the why, instead of the who or how."
There's the sudden sound of footsteps from around the corner.
Tami, Hisako
Regeneration. Reckless movement to position two.
(Eiko) Rolled 4, 1 = 12 <2d6+7>
Failure.
Reckless movement to position two.
(Eiko) Rolled 6, 4, 4 = 21 <2d6+7>
Success. Eiko gains +1 magic overcharge. Pass to Hermit.
"Jeez, don't just.."
Eiko dashes across the snow. She appears to have trouble at first, but after a few moments, she swiftly and deftly traverses the terrain without injury.
"..leave me behind like that!" she shouts, with a bitter grin on her face.
Hermit
Burst Attack on position two.
(Hermit) Rolled 1, 6, 1 = 15 <2d6+7>
(Hisako) Rolled 5, 5 = 16 <2d6+6>
Failure.
(Tami) Rolled 4, 4 = 15 <2d6+7>
Tie. Hermit rolled 6, Tami rolled 6. Tie. Hermit rolled 4, Tami rolled 1.
Success. Eiko uses shield and gains +1 magic overcharge. Tami loses -2 resolve <1d6+2>. 16/18 resolve.
(Eiko) Rolled 4, 2 = 13 <2d6+7>
Success. Eiko loses -7 resolve. 11/18 resolve.
Hermit loses -2 overcharge. 7/9 overcharge.
Mines.
Hermit loses -1 overcharge. 6/9 overcharge. Pass to Tami.
Eiko's display is immediately cut short, however, when the youma in the distance launches another fragment, ripping up the landscape on impact. Only Hisako is just barely able to get to safety in time.
Perhaps because Tami was still dealing with the forest, she too is also caught up in the blast, but at the last second, part of the attack is warded off by a sudden barrier.

Hisako dashes through the forest to get to the youma.
Hisako
Reckless movement to position two.
(Hisako) Rolled 6, 4, 2 = 15 <2d6+3>
Success. Hisako loses -2 resolve and gains +1 heart overcharge.
16/18 resolve.
Hex on Hermit. Pass to Eiko.
You get a few cuts from the various tree fragments, but you otherwise manage to clear the edge of the forest. Quickly weaving magic, you hex the youma from afar.

Tami
Reckless movement to position two.
(Tami) Rolled 1, 3 = 9 <2d6+5>
Failure.
Once again, you find difficulty maneuvering through the obstacles and cover little ground.
Joan
Your nose catches the scent of smoke, and you cling to the wall just before the turn around the corner. There are voices coming from the other side.
"Sonouji, was there a reason that you dragged me all the way back here when we picked this place apart ages ago?"
"I'm better at putting my thoughts together when I'm at the actual site of the crime."
"And so?"
"Four boys, roughly around the age of second year high schoolers. Putting aside the unusual cause of deaths for now, a background check reveals they were certainly all model delinquents, but only to the extent of loitering around convenience stores or disturbing the general peace. No signs of any culprits. Mazuka-san, to be honest, I doubt this is the work of amateurs."

[Corv fucking DIES]

[No YOU'RE ded]

[Okay, so..
I did ask everyone except Huff (who hasn't seemed to be online at times for me to ask), so hopefully this won't seem too abrupt, but the game's been/being moved to Mythweavers. Everyone's either been sent invitations or has already accepted them. And really, sorry about the overall clusterfuck and infrequent updating. I'm hoping things will be less troublesome in the future.]

EDIT:
 
 
What a bitch

[Haha, w-whoops! The update should have been a lot earlier than this.. but there was a schedule slip? You guys are okay with a half-assed excuse like that, r-right?
..Please bear with this useless GM for just a little longer.]
Tami, Hisako
Aleister gets a bit flustered at Tami's suggestion.
"A-ah, no, it's fine. I can totally do this. The great Aleister is being asked to search out a youma? No problem!"
He seems to mutter something along the lines of "Kh! I say that, but what's with this ridiculous tyranny?" with tears in his eyes afterwards though. At any rate, after a few moments of looking about while hanging in Hisako's grip, Aleister points his paw in a certain direction.
"Um, I think I smell something over that way?"
Sen
"I did, but it looks like there were some last minute problems with production. The actual shooting is being pushed back, it seems. Well, I was in the area, so it was simpler to stop here for lunch than to head home or eat out."
As Ayako says that, you see that she's prepared a simple bowl of tea on rice.
Joan
Your father heads upstairs and leaves you to it.
Ah.. there's not really anything to do.
Aika
Mai enthusiastically nods.
"Mm! Food made by onee-chan is the best!"
As she climbs back onto the couch to watch TV while you prepare in the kitchen, the dream you had of the fire this morning comes to mind for some reason. You probably could have made it out on your own back then, but Mai definitely would have been helpless by herself.

this is the GOP chairman of my county
 

basically the program waits 1000*60*60*24 milliseconds or 1 day before outputting the current date which would be tomorrow's date by the time you execute the program

Ema confirmed for AA6 and here's hoping the de-lobotomize Trucy back to her AJ self.

Well, Blizzard shut down the most popular WoW Private Server around
 
I know, intellectual property and all that, but it pisses me off. They provide no way to play older versions of the game, and refuse to admit that some people might be justified in not liking the game in its current state. These were fans who worked for years to provide the best, most accurate clone of Vanilla WoW, for absolutely 0 profit (that we're aware of) and Blizzard shut them down.
 
Every day this company pisses me off more and more, and shit like this makes me not want to give them my money. I don't want to say that I'm never going to play WoW again because I probably will, but as it stands Legion really isn't shaping up to be anything better than Warlords of Draenor imo.
 
Sure, it was well within their right to shut it down, I get that completely, but they constantly refuse to recognize that some people don't like the game currently, and act like proper cunts when they're asked.
 
It's just sad.

Or maybe they used 9mm.

Hisako
Perhaps not expecting you to have suddenly grabbed him, you take hold of one of Aleister's tails without issue. If foxes could make human faces, he'd probably be looking at you with an uneasy expression as he hangs upside-down.
"Umm.. I guess I can track down youma, but you know, it'd probably be a helpful learning experience if you did it on your own this time.. is something that probably wouldn't convince you, huh? I-I'll do it, so please let me down!"

Sen
To your surprise, the one in the kitchen is not your mother, but actually your older sister: Sato Ayako. It's not really clear why she'd be here, but it looks like she's making lunch? Either way, she doesn't seem to have noticed you.
Joan
Your father makes a bitter smile.
"..Well, I was just here to collect a few things, and then I'll be on my way. If you get hungry, dinner is in the refrigerator.. or if you don't want that, there's money to order takeout."
He gets up and heads for the stairs.
Aika
"Mmm.. Onee-chan is home now, so Mai will forgive you."
Mai's beaming smile is blinding.

[No, I'm not saying it was already decided
I wouldn't ask you guys if there was already an agreement
This is the easiest way to actually talk about the matter, instead of just polling everyone over Steam, in the case that someone had any issues
Which there seem to be]

[Anyways, there was never any real establishment or formal consensus on the matter, which is why I'm bringing it up. You know, for people to voice concerns and issues with, and that we can all hopefully work out in some manner.
Really, now that there's already a private forum with a built-in dice roller that we're using for Country and Dissension, I just figured it'd be a good move to.. well, move. The GM doing all the rolls is incredibly inefficient, since it forces me to either make assumptions on what you guys may or may not want to do prior to or after a given roll, or stop the game to ask about what you want to do before whatever arbitrary action takes place. It also means I have to do lots of things in one go.
Also, rather importantly, I'd suspect that it's.. you know, less fun for players since lack of self-rolling removes player agency and also hinders being able to describe certain actions for their PCs. Plus there's stuff like being able to have multiple threads and a better text editor and whatnot.
The only big issue I can see is that (and I assume this is the case for Country too, since I don't really remember) Corv made everyone put their character sheets and current stats in their sigs.]

[No YOU'RE dumb]
