The real question is after the above stews for awhile how Graham will square his view of Rangin as a pacifist eunuch and his father-daughter issues when Rangin confronts him and tells him to stay away from his girlfriend...Originally posted by choie
I threw that in more for your benefit than for Rangin's.The real question is after the above stews for awhile how Graham will square his view of Rangin as a pacifist eunuch and his father-daughter issues when Rangin confronts him and tells him to stay away from his girlfriend...
Main thread 2818...
Now is when Graham needs to ask Kylah's location so she can answer "in the bedroom with Fastolfe...."
And with Ms. Adjetey, too. That oughtta renew Graham's speculation about Kylah's sexuality. As if he doesn't speculate enough on it...Now is when Graham needs to ask Kylah's location so she can answer "in the bedroom with Fastolfe...."
Everyone needs a hobby.
Billed as the greatest Star Trek selfie ever taken, and it is pretty good...

Nice. Is that Michael Dorn, cut off along the right edge? And who's that in the very back, in the white shirt and blue jacket? And is that Gates McFadden leaning on Brent Spiner?
I think the guy in the back is just a con goer photobombing
Graham's diary:
Mahmoud - Well, I've seen him make out with chicks but I swear he's given me a second look when I've come out of the shower
The Captain - Duh
Bennett - No. Yes. Dammit say it ain't so. Maybe she'd make an exception for me.
I would buy a copy of those diaries. Go put that in the Apocrypha!
Maybe he could check on Garcia the cryptography expert and Delaney to see how things are going with the various encrypted files, not to mention the safe?
Yorktown High alternate universe Rangin sits and starts making a list of insulting names to call Graham:
Booger Graham
The Ape Graham
Graham Cracker
EH, did you notice Kylah asking Lt. Kjwhatever for someone to take over watching Fastolfe's boudoir? Just wanted to make sure that bit wasn't lost. Kylah can't leave until someone's there to take her place.
As am aside, boy, I cannot believe it's only 10am. And the cook was already beginning lunch preparations! What the heck are they having, roast Targ on a spit?
Heh I would have said impossible but now that Kylah has gotten all aggressive and Graham-like it's pretty hot...
Heh. Yeah, don't piss her off or she'll spoil a centuries-old book for you! That's the sort of vicious behavior worthy of Mirror-Universe Kira (the Intendant).
(A mirror universe mission would be hilarious!)
Anyway both she and her player have grown fed up with defending and trying to get through to Fastolfe. I doubt any of you have played the PC game S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but there are different factions of NPCs in that game, and if you make one mistake in dealing with them (e.g. crossed into their territory without permission, accidentally shot one of their fellow faction members even when no one else witnessed it), they will never change their mind--the next time anyone in that faction sees you, you're an enemy target for the rest of the game.
That's what Fastolfe feels like. He was all over her like ugly on a Nausicaan until Kylah made the disastrous mistake of telling the guy--who was implying her arrival at the house alone could lead to 'only one outcome' (ew)--that she's not without defenses. Now no matter what she says or does, he will not listen to reason. At this point I think if Kylah literally had tried to, uh, do what Graham's brain was accusing her of , Fastolfe would probably still act all pissy and self-righteous (in other words, act like no other male rock star ever!).
So yeah, damn it, at this point Kylah's ready to play hardball. Why, next she might even tell him Citizen Kane was a ghost all the time and is actually the father of the woman from The Crying Game!

Mmmm, mirror universe Kira...
Yeah she was pretty awesome. I have a feeling the mirror universe version of Kylah would find the Intendant's wardrobe a bit prissy, considering the good version of Elasian royalty considers this perfectly normal:
:: gasps ::
I knew it!
Dr. T'Var says, "It is a topical antifungal, a very powerful one, as I recall. It is part of the standard treatment for Ithacan epidermal fungus, commonly known as the 'Ithaca Itch.'" She pauses. "Do you require a prescription, Ensign?"OMG, dying here for that last question. A thousand points to T'Var for perfect comic timing!
I assume Kylah found nothing of use while snooping around the bedroom/cabinet/dressers, etc., right?

Hmm. Gastolfe... Fastolfe?
Well now we know why Graham's so obsessed with lesbians. Even they can't resist the awesome magnetism of Graham's masculinity.
Apparently ability score on "coming up with random name" is low...
Well he is pretty awesome

Just wanted to say it's my 50th birthday. Thank you all for playing the game with me.
Happy birthday! Thanks for being a killer GM.
Eh, that was not meant to suggest killing any characters...
Congrats EH, Many Happy Returns.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Many thanks! It's been a good day. Not even the (unsolicited) arrival of an AARP card in the mail late last week has cast a pall over it.
Happy birthday, EH! My sister got one of those cards too, and it... well, she didn't take it as well as you have!But there are some good discounts. Many thanks for all you do as a GM and a cruel Botticelli questioner.
HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY!!!!

Thanks, all! It was a good day, and now I'm happily setting forth on my next half-century (or so)....
Graham + Kylah + video cameras
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Ooooh! I hope Graham lies and says Collins was watching. I want to see Kylah's reaction
What, miss a chance to dump Rangin in it, make him out to be ones of the boys, completely ruin Kylah's opinion of him....
....he'd never do that.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Quite a potential powder keg we have here. If Graham reveals that Rangin was there (and given Kylah's accusations there's no reason he shouldn't), Kylah could either think well of Rangin (who, after all, was tactful and didn't reveal that he'd seen this) or start worrying about Rangin's motives, considering he only revealed his feelings about her after seeing her slobber all over another guy.
It's all side dishes compared to the main murder event, but I'm hoping this will go in a certain direction and get Kylah on track to investigate something she's been considering for a while but has forgotten about. So don't worry, EH, it may seem like role-playing fluff but this may head somewhere, missionwise.
No worries. This is your game; I just try to keep things perking along.
Just wait until Rangin mentions Graham's line about Kylah's curfew when he gets asked about it.

Wait, Rangin & T'VAr are scanning houses for transporter signatures?
Shouldn't they be standing around shouting at each other???
I know, right? What kind of slackers are they?
Two scientists...doing science...I think not.
What happens afterwards, well who can say.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Well it's a very good find, and makes me wonder why we didn't notice those transporter traces earlier! I guess without the search warrant it wasn't possible to get into their houses, but nevertheless, there was a lot of scanning the night of the murder in that courtyard. Dang!
One question I have about this, though:
Is he implying that transporters cause the spores to lose effectiveness? Is that true?
Biggest problem up front, is that we didn't know what we were looking for.
No, its more that the likely reason for the spores losing effect is involved with whatever was transported.
I'm guessing on the people themselves.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Hmm, not sure about people--unless Fastolfe was perched on top of his night table, which is an amusing thought (and hey, who knows what positions he gets into during his romps). But yeah, that's a good point... something might have been beamed in, then beamed out, which made people lose the effect. Pretty risky, though, wasn't it? Palver was awake at the time of the murder, and any of the others could've been up when whatever-it-was was transported in.
Anyway I guess this conversation is one our characters should be having, heh. Maybe if Rangin and T'Var see Kylah's message that could be an answer re: what was beamed in/out (had to be something small if it fits on a night table).
Don't forget, the transports didn't take place at the time of the murder but some time afterwards, they happened afterwards.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
That's true! I meant that anyone might have been awake at any time during the night (especially someone like Fastolfe), so whoever beamed stuff in--assuming it was done without the guests' knowledge/permission--was taking a risk that the targets were definitely sleeping and unaware some magic-emotion-causing-thingy had been beamed in.
Ooo, aren't clues fun?
I can't tell if you're going to be mocking us for years for not getting this sooner, or if this is just an incredibly difficult mystery!
Meanwhile... your description of Jan as "Czech businessman and bon vivant" cracked me up.
