If mashing the down button does nothing to Slog on the Illborn Exchange, then try adding Stolen Christmas

-1; I'm telling you, we have better things to use Festive reagents on than Slog!

Actually, wait, Al's Photorestomeditation skill can make any weapon deal Earth damage, so if Cherish won't do it Al can just hit himself in the face!

Maybe later.

Prepare for eternal winter.

...

Am I seriously planning to freeze the (fictional, minimalist RtD) world just for a bet?

((Selina got dragged into this?))

((Dammit, my bad. Fixing.))

"Um... I can summon some meat or if there is some already around I could try something with that..."

"How the hell is meat gonna help?"
"Um. Don't think that there'd be any meat here."

((-bump?-

((Been meaning to update this for a while, just haven't gotten around to it.))

Also, despite French being the second language of Canada, I know about 40 words tops. I know more Japanese than I do French.))

((That's interesting.))

"...Alright, no protests. And who from the normals wants to stay behind?"
One volunteers. Soon enough, the others are paired up and searching.
[Kuroe's team:4]
[Logan's Angel's team:2]
[Selina's team:2]
[Finna's team:2]
The guard with Kuroe points out a few crates out of place. Checking them, they discover a bunch of illicit goods stowed away.

Set what product that can't be quickly taken to be destroyed and then begin the process of doing that before escaping.

Kyle and the other crooks begin working on making their escape. They didn't keep all their stuff in one place, but they still manage to save some of the high-paying stuff.
"Guys? Problem. They've got a bunch of guards, and I saw Svensdottir."
"Who?"
"The crazy witch hunter dame. I'm not sure we can break out. Not without being caught."
"...Hey, Johnson, think you can magic us out of this or something?"

((IIRC, I think that they reproduce by asexual means, and they absorb DNA from hosts, thus not having genders and then not needing sexual reproduction.))

((They still do have genders. It's certainly not asexual. If it was, the kids would be genetically identical to the parents.))

Personally, I view xenomorphs as gendered creatures. On a mental level, at least.))

((What does that even mean?))

((Oh, well, I see them as souless begins even worse than the Zerg and the Tyranids fused. I guess that it is just different visions))

((Objectively? Tyranids are worse than either, and I'm as sure as I can be that Zerg are worse than xenomorphs as I can be without actually knowing the first thing about Starcraft.
...Well, I know the first thing, but definitely not the third one. Probably not even the second, but I'm not sure.))

((From what I remember of the movies, xenomorphs can be divided into facehuggers (which can arguably be either gender), queens (definitely female), and the "normal" 'morphs (roughly analogous to the sterile female workers in many insect species, especially since the queens were stated in one of the posts to be formed from the "workers" (which I'm not sure if any insects actually do, but that doesn't matter much.)))

((Indeed. I am leaving the decisions about basic alien biology to the Alien players first, then the rest of the player second. If you want to be a girl, be a girl. If you want to be a boy, be a boy. It doesn't affect actual gameplay unless you decide to flirt, which is creepy and weird, so please don't do that.))

((Could be worse. I hear the fourth movie included a weird half-alien half-Ripley hybrid.))

I don't have much time right at the moment, so I won't be doing an action update at this time, but I will do one tomorrow night. Please have your actions in by then.

((Acceptable. Action posted.))

Neat. I might get in.

...Great, I need to remake my character sheet.

Riddle me this.

EHY WOULD KYLE HAVE DONE MORE INVESTIGATION? There was no reason that it would have neen unreasonable that Angel was still visiting her parents at the hospital.

She was there for an excessive amount of time. And she didn't have her bracelet!

It's more unreasonable that demons could have taken her away with NOT A SOUL to have caught the incident and put it on national news.

The only demon that took her away was Nuriel. The deal was made, and with only two witnesses, neither of which is terribly keen to even think about magic...

It's a movie about a boy in college who refuses to give up in arguing his case that God's not dead. There are also a few sup-plots about christain characters going through hard time though they ultimately do not end up very meaningfully resolved.

...You have no idea how hard I'm trying not to make jokes about that.

"...You've necer heard of Star Wars?"
Kyle says completely deadpan.

I'm also surprised. What, did Selina's mom keep her under a rock?

Bartimaeus shapeshifts into what appears to be Shakespeare and picks the skull up.

"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest..."

"...which is one of the more notable differences between Yorick and Bartimaeus," I wish Will was able to reply.

"You have merged with this mortals soul. If he dies, you can never return. You will go to hell, and be tormented until this creation is brought to an end. then you will cease. Unless...."

Okay, what's going on with Bartimaeus? Is he a demon or what?

Sen teleports back into the castle [25+83], probabably into the games room, "Thirty six thousand seven hundred forty nine copies of the Order of the True Cross' Guide to the True Demon's Name destroyed and dealt with and this is the last copy left to destroy," Sen says as she holds a white book with a red holy cross adorning the cover in her hand as she walks back to her room.

If Will was functional he would be so flipping out right now.
As would I. Destroying books? Not cool, Sen. Not cool. Especially not destroying all copies of a book.
