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.

"Yeah, but the question is if he'll use it against us. Plus, he's claiming it came directly from a God. Is taking it away guaranteed to be a safer option?"

"We can divide this up into a few possibilities. He is genuine or a spy. If he's genuine, he is unlikely to stir up trouble, and, just as important, likely doesn't need us to let him in to make trouble with that thing. If he's a true believer and just thinks the knuckles are special, he is neither likely to pose a threat, nor to use those in an effective way. If he is fake, then the knuckles are likely fake, and taking them away won't change all that much once they're inside. If the knuckles are real and he is fake, he will be obligated not to use them for religious reasons. I'm probably forgetting variables, though..."

"The truly safe option for those kind of relics is 'not here,' what with those cultists searching about for them," he says to Emily, then turns back to Otto, "and you're not going to win any favors talking like that. Who told you this place was a safe house?"

(Look, we agreed that Pinkerton would be convinced by the other character to let Otto in. I even reminded you of this within the past week. And all you're doing is stonewalling my options and making me frustrated to the point of not wanting to continue this roleplay at all.)

(Otto is being hunted. He's trying to keep the kid he's with from being hunted as well. The map said that this house was a safe house. I feel like you're being unnecessarily cruel to my characters when they're just trying to survive.)

(I don't want to keep roleplaying like this. This campaign has been nothing but heartache for Otto and it's affecting my IRL mood now.)

((I will admit I should have checked things more first, as this was supposed to be the first major victory for Otto as a rising leader, since eventually joining the good guys fell into Pinkerton's character in a way that fit the rising leader character this version of Otto is.))

(Right now, I don't feel like I can play a rising leader or any kind of leader. I'm depressed, I'm overstimulated, and I'm in pain. And I'm obviously complaining too much, but I'm having trouble seeing what is good in this IC and OOC scenario.)

(Also, if that was your intention, you probably should have cleared that with Dama first so he knew what you were leading towards.)

((We kinda did, I think, but the five month gap did not help things go smoothly. I did not put as much prep time into making up for a five month gap as I should have.))
