@Antarctica Your reply to Marion's last post has me stumped. The NPC speaks sensibly—if there's a no loitering sign, there's a no loitering sign—and as far as I can tell you've given her no due cause to find any of this dubious. She presently has no good reason to distract herself from her personal quest to assist with this missing persons search, for instance; but nor would she arouse attention and possibly suspicion by openly flaunting the town's statutes, even the small, frivolous ones.

It's unlike me to ask a GM to throw me a bone OOC but I'm genuinely unsure whether I'm supposed to try and Charm this character, or whether this whole library setup was a convoluted way to move me to the diner locale from the beginning.

@TokyoPewPew

Libraries might contain records about the surrounding area. Marion seems the type to want to search for information regarding the region, especially with the area surrounding Lamplight. This person, perhaps evident through his age, might have lived here for some time. She could try to charm him into letting her into the library, could ask him questions about the town or about Lamplight or even about the disappearance of Clara Mathews. Hell, if she's skilled enough, she could just try to break into the library after he's already gone inside. There's always some sort of information to find, a lead to chase, a choice to make.

To address, no, the library was not a convoluted setup to move her to the diner. If handled in a right enough way, Marion stands to learn something very important. Now, if she moves to the diner after or later, that's on her, but this is the janitor pushing on her existence in this spot as a way of wanting to be left alone. How Marion parses the type of person he is and what she does about it, we'll see soon enough.

Passable Writer is still aiming for Sunday/Monday to post. I want to give it at least a few days for Tokyo, just in case their ban gets lifted. As for the others that haven't seemingly been around, again, I'll give it some time. It is the holiday season, so I'm being more lenient on responses. We'll see if that becomes a detriment.

Lamplight

Also am I seeing it right that Tokyo is banned right now?

@Tally Dor

Didn't see that until you pointed that out. That's... something.

Lamplight

So what does your roll do? Just to make sure I’m on the same page haha

@Tally Dor

To quote the book: "On a miss, things go to hell."

In this context, if we're handling both her finding out your transformation and trying to stay unnoticed by you, then you've discovered her. However, you've already dashed off to hunt down the source of the scent, so I don't know what can come of that particularly right now.

Tiffany, I would say, did see your body morph and tear itself apart to grow bone blades. How she handles that sight is up to her.

Lamplight

We can leave it to a roll, then.

Lamplight

@PatientBean I would say make a roll for the initial encounter; preferably either Act Under Pressure—up until he morphed and sped off, he was still walking, so you could've followed close behind—or Read a Bad Situation, because you likely might've noticed his transformation and the fact that he isn't as human as he looked.

I leave whether or not Alexander noticed Tiffany up to Alexander's discretion, but if Tiffany is trying to not be discovered, that might make the roll fall more into Act Under Pressure.
