Yakitate!! Japan

I love the lengths you have to go to in order to parody serious business anime.

Yeah, you probably will. It went for 4 years and got a 69 episode Sunrise adaptation. Like I said, there's a fair chunk of loving parody, but since it's shounen parody that means people wank to technique, which in this case means stuff about yeasts and locally sourced ingredients.

I am a fan of Hikaru No Go for "ridiculously long series about EPIC _____ ACTION!" It's about Go. As in, the game where you place stones on the board.

We're using roll20.net, right? If so, I think we have to PM whoever creates the game our email addresses so they can invite us, or something.

Prak just needs to post the link somewhere where we can see it, or PM it to us, or something like that.

So, given that Amelia got a pretty good scan of Spirit activity on... well... the entire student body and the faculty, how much does she know about the supernatural-ness of the various teachers/club advisors? Specifically, the Mage-ness of certain club - and sports - advisors. Science club in particular would be VERY different if run by a mundane (good cover for some of my gadgetry), versus run by a Son of Ether (SCIENCE) versus a low-profile Iteration X cyborg (either "assassinate my own club advisor and harvest his prosthetics for their Primium" or "stay away at all costs").

The presence of someone who might be able to teach Do is also a significant factor in determining which Sports team to join :P

Well, there were three Avatars on stage, if you keep scanning after Orientation, maybe working on suspicion and such, the head Science teacher, and and adviser for the Science club, Rowles, has an avatar spirit. The computer teacher, and adviser for the Magic club, Ms. Lilan, has an avatar spirit, and there's something definitely up with Mr. Smith, he seems to have a sort of Avatar spirit as well.

Working with Megan, you can figure out the other PCs pretty easily, especially since you guys can pretty much just keep working away.

Anything more is going to start requiring extra rolls and such.

So, will next session pick off from that point, or was that "the adventure for the day", and next session starts with a new day or week?

Only relevant for sake of planning - whether I can leave "what to do between today and next time" to next session, or go through the various "talk to the others re: the transformation, getting the Supernatural Team together, starting on costume-design with Amelia, begging money off parents to get more Sirin products etc" via here over the next week.

That was pretty much the adventure for the day. The next big thing is Sports try out day the next week. If people want to use this, or another thread, for IC chat, I'm good with that, and had been thinking about it.

Yeah, Resonance and Quintessence were never particularly well defined. So I'm going to say that, Vampires are strongly static, with a bit of entropy.

On a semi-related note, the guy who attacked Thomas on Friday had a lot of little bit of each resonance, Dynamic, Entropic and Static. Mostly he resonated with Stasis and Entropy, but there was definitely a bit of dynamic Res. there.

Okay, first off, how powerful are these dudes on average? More specifically, if I want to put the mask on and shake this guy down for information (i.e. "what's wrong with you?!" in gravelly Batman voice or something) can I just put it in the IC thread or should it be played out as something that might actually fail?

Second off, here's a list of my other three retainers, tell me if there's a problem with any of them:

The butler. He technically works for Lord Silmoore, but is strictly loyal to Michael. He's the only other one (so far) who knows that Michael is Lightning Kamen, and his main function is to help keep the secret from his sire.

The landlady. Lightning Kamen saved her son from a vampire or something, and now she can offer shelter to him or his allies. Basically she has a totally normal suburban house and no one else knows that she's connected to Lightning Kamen at all, so it makes for a good safehouse. Lightning Kamen keeps backup weapons/masks/etc. there in case he ever needs to use it, other gear can be added once he properly meets up with the rest of the party.

Heavy weapons girl. And by "heavy weapons" I mean, like, a submachine gun and molotov cocktails or something. I'm kind of seeing her as a Casey Jones to the rest of the party's Ninja Turtles: Enough of a help to be significant, but clearly inferior to any main characters. Totally mundane and most definitely has some kind of anarchist or revolutionary background. Slightly idolizes Lightning Kamen for his fight against local corporate bigwig and also because idolizing vampires is what mortals do.
