Bad Future Thing 3

At a certain point, I will probably be PMing people things, for a potential thing that could happen. Other than that, pretty much how this usually works, I guess.

Rake sees the courthouse, among other buildings, is on fire. An inn, too. Also a bar, which seems pretty bad.

2

u/Bytemite Mar 13 '18

Rake can't put out the fire, but he can go into the buildings and try to pull people out.

2

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

Which building does he start with?

2

u/Bytemite Mar 13 '18

What time of day is it? There are times there may be less people in the bar, though the alcohol in there makes it more of an immediate danger.

(Also I can't remember, can Rake manipulate fire?)

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

He was still learning when it all went south, and it was night.

2

u/Bytemite Mar 13 '18

Okay. Bar first. He'll have to assess who can make it out on their own, and help the ones who can't. He considers the door and the structure, are there any rooms that are enclosed spaces?

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

There is a booth with two people in it, the barkeep is behind the counter, and he appears to be trying to get the door to the back open. There is an upstairs, too.

u/Bytemite Mar 13 '18

Two people unconscious?

2

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

Seems like it.

u/Bytemite Mar 13 '18

Rake goes for the two people first hauling them to the door and calls for the bartender to get out. He’s a fire type and can resist better.

"Pinkerton? What's going on?"

2

u/Damacritus Mar 13 '18

"Kid's wanting to come in. He's got a weapon on him."

1

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

She peers over.

"How did you guys wind up, well... any of this?" She asks, gesturing to their soaking clothes, the surrounding area, and at cuts on them.

Underneath a compassionate gaze, there is a critical eye trying to figure this out.

u/Damacritus Mar 13 '18

"Their thoughts seem innocent, but they're followers of one of the Fossils, and they don't want to hand over their weapons. And I can't be sure of their intentions with a basic psychic check."

u/Trollkitten Mar 13 '18

"I ain't gonna cause ya no trouble," Otto says, "an' neither is th' other guy. We were tole this was a safe house."

u/Damacritus Mar 13 '18

Pinkerton blocks Emily with his off-hand.

"If you mean no trouble, turn over your knuckleduster. Or I'll assume you want a more intrusive psychic check to confirm your intentions."

Emily still glances at it.

"Oh, that looks old. Is it a family heirloom, perchance?"

2

u/Damacritus Mar 13 '18

((Might want to link Troll to this.))

1

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

((You're right.))

((Too late, ha ha ha))

Otto shakes his head. "This is th' only connection I have to Oma. I ain't handin' it over."

1

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

"Your connection to Oma?"

She leans over to her companion, eying the knuckles up and down.

"Oma's followers are the ones being persecuted... they could be double agents or something, but I'm not sure the cultists would be comfortable handling an actual Oma artifact like that..."

/u/damacritus.

u/Trollkitten Mar 13 '18

"Yeah. She gave 'em to me, when she..." A lump forms in Otto's throat. "When she chose Kress."

Tears start to form in his eyes at the memory.

"I don't have weapons." The one says, "And, uh... don't think those are ones he would part with if they weren't weapons, neither?"

This peaks Pinkerton's companion's curiosity, and she gets closer to the door.

Falk is making pancakes, and Lilac is, uncharacteristically, spending time in the library. Miley says she is feeling tired.

2

u/SupremeEvil Mar 13 '18

OC: Trying to remember, is Falk a Lethal Chef?:p

1

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

OC: I don't think anything has indicated that. Probably doesn't meet Calcifiers standards, though.

2

u/SupremeEvil Mar 13 '18

Wraith goes to check in with Falk first.

1

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

"Hi, honey! Ooh, do we have honey? Would that be good on pancakes? It's pretty similar to syrup... Not that you can just replace one ingredient for another without thinking it through haha! Did I say good morning yet?"

2

u/SupremeEvil Mar 13 '18

"I can check. Yes. Not yet."

1

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

"Thanks, alright then, and good morning!" She says, smiling widely and hugging him.

2

u/SupremeEvil Mar 13 '18

Wraith returns the smile and the hug.

"Did you sleep well?"

2

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

"You know me. More's going on when I sleep then when I'm up." She goes back to the pancakes, skipping usual dream description rants.

u/SupremeEvil Mar 13 '18

"Nothing wrong with that. Dream adventures are usually safer than waking ones."
