Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:31:40 AM)
they go out to Xander's house, which honestly is too big for two people and, probably has way more stuff in it than they need. She lets them in. "Booze?"

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:32:44 AM)
No, no, I want to retain focus. So... are you ready to hear about what happened? *He moved into the place and looked around...* And I need something of yours Tarra, something you don't mind leaving with me for a day or two but you will keep on your person habitually...

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:33:00 AM)
She takes off her necklace and hands it to Craig.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 1:34:08 AM)
She looks around with wide eyes, "It's big."

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:35:42 AM)
"My fiance believes in flaunting his wealth. too big."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:36:24 AM)
*he took the necklace and examined it, then nodded* I am going to ward this for you if you are all right with that. My intention is to keep your mind masked, your thoughts will be slippery and hidden from scrying...

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:36:41 AM)
"I am alright with that."

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 1:37:09 AM)
"How are you going to hide it and her from magic scans?"

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:40:20 AM)
By giving her a rather vapid surface thought pattern. Something along the lines of... "He tossed his head like a ditzy girL" I really like vanilla, ya know? So if someone scans her? Trophy wife. Anyone who is close enough to really know better is either *us* or already going to be on to her.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 1:41:03 AM)
"Okay, so that'll protect her mind as long as she wears the necklace?"

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:41:39 AM)
"Ooh. Trophy wife. I like that."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:41:41 AM)
*He nodded* Yes. Or at least keep it hidden. And really, if someone knows to look more closely at her or you or I? Our cover is already ostensibly blown anyway.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:41:52 AM)
*He glanced at Tarra and chuckled* Total trophy wife.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:42:22 AM)
"Am not!"

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 1:42:52 AM)
She grins at Tarra, "I could see it."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:43:11 AM)
*he giggled. Yes, giggled* You and Kay, total trophy wives.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:43:29 AM)
"Alright, what qualifies me as a trophy wife?" she proceeds to give them a tour of the house.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:43:57 AM)
Craig, who has been here before, can see that she's starting to re-decorate it into an actual home, instead of a mega sized man cave.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:45:01 AM)
Well, one, you're cute, two, you look hot in a bikini, and three, you're totally presentable in an evening gown. Trophy. Wife.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 1:46:04 AM)
"Hey, that's one up on me. People would just see me as a faker if I dressed up."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:46:58 AM)
Oh horse puck Janelle. You might be always in old jeans and t-shirts but your an Akashic, you are built like an athlete and a gymnast, all it would take is the right cut of evening gown and you could conquer men and boys.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:47:47 AM)
"Janelle. What part of that are you going to put to the test?"

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 1:48:38 AM)
"I take it back! You're both scaring me!" She retreats quickly a few steps away with wide eyes. "You look way too ambitious!"

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:49:03 AM)
"Nono. You said it. In the order, we have this phrase. put your money where your mouth is. so are you going to model the bikini or the eveninig gown?

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:50:07 AM)
*Craig blinked* What? *He shook his head* I wasn't going there. Janelle is my student and a good kid but she's also so obviously not the kind to get dressed up....

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 1:50:16 AM)
"Neither! I have a kind of pride, y'know." She says more quietly, walking ahead of them to continue touring the place.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:50:24 AM)
Hell she's got a firmer grasp on some of this shit than *I* do.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:51:54 AM)
"Still waiting to hear if you're willing to see a different side of yourself"

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 1:52:38 AM)
"Not really the time for it. I want to know where I can sleep safely." She says quietly again, walking ahead of them.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:53:06 AM)
Banda Aceh....

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:53:31 AM)
*He paused when they came to the kitchen* Does X have this place warded Tarra?

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:54:33 AM)
"Not yet. I don't think he knows how." She leads them to the spare bedrooms. "You can stay here, Janelle."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:55:05 AM)
*he nodded* I can do so if he wants... or give him a primer on it.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:55:34 AM)
"Until he gets back from his business trip, I'm giviing you permission to."

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 1:56:06 AM)
"I can help with all this stuff."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:56:45 AM)
*He nodded* I need a piece of paper. PLain old paper.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 1:56:51 AM)
And a pencil.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 1:57:22 AM)
"Done." she finds the required items for Craig.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:00:06 AM)
*Craig paced out the house. He did so from within and it took him about a minute, but then he sat down somewhere - probably in the kitchen, and began to write in chinese, a long elaborate doodle with both Han and geometric shapes* I will ward it with correspondence so it will hide from scrying, it will always look as though only mundane things are going on, and I will hide it from mental scrying, so that it will also always seem mundane from without... but I will need to find some way to gather quintessence before this is done... to make it permanent... I'll. *he paused, looked up and seemed lost in thought for a moment...* I'll scour my pattern.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:00:50 AM)
"If I did it the same, would I be able to give it to you?"

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:02:05 AM)
*He nodded* But don't. Let me handle that. If I get in trouble with some wounds I stand a better chance of fending off physical attack, you on the other hand I need playing heavy artillery to my meat shield.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:06:40 AM)
She sits down at the table to listen.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:07:14 AM)
"Let me help." she look sad, frowning. she gets them something to drink.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:07:33 AM)
So, here's my idea. I've got this Chinese ideogram, a triangle to represent mind and correspondence and at his base point, you. Your location. THis home. Tarra, do you know Correspondence and Mind?

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:07:36 AM)
Even a little?

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:08:06 AM)
"Yes, I do. I know a little correspondence. mind?"

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:08:10 AM)
(let me check my sheet)

(This user has moved to OOC Room) (IP = 24.15.241.228)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:09:02 AM)
*he nodded* you can help with the correspondence portion of the ward, but if you don't know any mind we'll handle that.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:09:14 AM)
(I was about to whip out my grand klaive and go Crinos on his ass...)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:09:14 AM)
"I've reached the first level of attainments in both correspondence and mind."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:09:30 AM)
*He grinned,* You can help with it. In fact, I know EXACTLY how you can help us.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:10:00 AM)
(Okay, check this out, as per page 154 in the book:

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:11:27 AM)
(we have to set up the intended affect, but Tarra, Kay, Craig, and Janelle can ALL get in on the ritual since we all have at least 1 dice in mind and corr. When we do this, we roll, each of us, and we Pool our total successes toward the total ritual completion. In order for us to botch, *everyone* has to get no successes and someone has to actually botch for one of our combiend rolls.)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:11:40 AM)
(right now, the only sphere tarra doesn't have is life. and i have justification for that one)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:12:21 AM)
(Group rituals are amazing that way.)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:12:52 AM)
(Craig has 3 in prime, mind, and forces, and 2 in corr, and I am requesting corr 3.)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:13:05 AM)
(And someone is teaching me life, and someone else is teaching me time)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:14:33 AM)
(I'm teaching you Life!)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:14:45 AM)
(and there is no word from Toh on when tarra can seek for arete 3)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:14:53 AM)
(so she's stuck. until he gets help.)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:15:21 AM)
(yep, you are.) Okay, so, here's the idea. Tarra, I need you to be our focus for the - for the fake out. YOU know what goes on around here when it's just mundane living, so when we get together Kaydence is going to focus on how we're going to fool electronics while me and Janelle focus on hiding what's REALLY going on, and YOU will provide us with that mundane facade we'll be putting up in it's place.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:16:29 AM)
She nods slowly, putting her hands together lightly and learning on the table.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:16:40 AM)
Should i focus on how we have hot sex for long periods of time, and then I spend time picking out new drapes? *beyond dry*

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:17:37 AM)
"Maybe stuff they wouldn't want to watch. A perverted drape technocrat I can imagine pretty well."

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:18:10 AM)
"painting, furniture, wedding planning?"

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:18:29 AM)
"I can imagine those too. They're really boring."

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:18:52 AM)
"You have no idea How boring. Painful."

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:20:31 AM)
She frowns, "I have no idea what we can show them that'll make them not watching. Maybe, like, just TV watching?"

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:21:19 AM)
*he nodded* seriously? The important thing is not whether it's hot or steamy or boring or droll, just that when we get ready to do this, you're job is to focus on a plain, non-magickal day for us to use as a guide. I'll be working on a rice paper scroll that will remain here, kind of like when we did the ritual with Pa... *He looked at Janelle* A long story basically, about what Tarra is imagining as her boring day, and in the meantime, Janelle, you will be helping me make the story appear as what's going on to anyone who scries us. You're part is to help me hide what's REALLY going on, Tarra can make it doll, we have to make it the heavy curtain that hides the truth.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:21:48 AM)
"Okay." She stretches, "I'm ready."

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:21:52 AM)
"Ok." She starts to imagine her most boring day: just talking to people on the phone and re-decorating the house.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:21:57 AM)
Kaydence with her electronic know how and command of all things technomancer can help me make it more... resilient against electronic attacks...

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:22:43 AM)
(We gotta get Tohunga, but we could do say, a nights worth here and then when we've planned we can FPM him for a scene anD do Tarra's place AND Craigs...)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:23:02 AM)
(Ok)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:24:06 AM)
(So. hang on, lemme see how long each roll is going to be...)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:28:33 AM)
(Okay I damn well can't find the time, but Toh had us rolling once every like 3 hours...)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:28:57 AM)
(so let's just make a single pass - we'l say it's our trial run and do the extended thing later on for hours on end.)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:29:05 AM)
(Okay)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:31:13 AM)
(SO, we're all using Foci and well, this place DEFINATELY resonates with Tarra, so that should keep our dif down. Wards are a 2 dot thing - so base dif is 3, +2 for the sphere used, +1 for the area we're affecting, - 1 for the resonance and -1 for foci if we all uses them, that's dif 4. ROll arete and we add our total successes.)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:31:41 AM)
*Ok. roll now?)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:32:23 AM)
(Yeah. We'll redo this with an ST later. I got a whopping 1 sux spending willpower, but meh, it shall be better when we're doing the prolonged ritual and we can take alllll day wardning out stuff.)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:33:52 AM)
(2 suxx)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:34:01 AM)
(2 suxx)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:36:49 AM)
(so five sux. Not too bad for a single hour. NOw, what that would mean is we could sread it out and essentially there's a ward that will have 3 dice of efficiency for a day. In order for us to make a ward permanent, we'll hav eto decide how strong we want it to be, then get *double* the number of successes - in other words, if we want a ten dice ward, we have to get 20 successes to make it permanent.)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:37:38 AM)
(Also, if you want, you can dedicate successes to make an effect subtle, so it raises the difficulty of detection by awareness.)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:38:12 AM)
(Yep, which we should definately do...) *Craig did as he said he would. He spent the hour focused in his mind, his hands flying as he drew and wrote out the mundane day Tarra held in her mind, the whole time using that and Janelles combined force of will to weave a temporary ward around the home..>>*

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:40:39 AM)
She stand in quiet complemplation, adding her force of will to whatever Craig was doing.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:41:22 AM)
(Here's what I think: 10 dice ward - mind and corr - shoot for subtle and permanent. Someone will have to spend a quint to make it permanent I believe, although we *may* be able to do that with Prime alone... and do this place, plus Craig's place, plus the VIP room at Primeval. it may mean a couple of *days* of work, but I think it'll be worth it.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:41:49 AM)
(I have five quint, waiting. Losing a quint would be good for Janelle for hiding purposes.)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:42:19 AM)
(It would also be nice to figure out a way to reduce the difficulty to 3.)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:43:12 AM)
(Foci, resonance, in this case we HAVE the resonance, and quint...

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:43:30 AM)
(I used all of mine to bring the diff down when we were undoing Pa's mental block so... bone dry.)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:43:57 AM)
(We'll have to make a river raid to refill, after this. Any donations, Tarra?)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:46:03 AM)
(sorry, I was zoning)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:46:41 AM)
(I haven't spent any quint. I can donate at last 3)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:47:42 AM)
(When we do the real thing, maybe.)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:48:03 AM)
After the ritual is done, she opens her eyes and asks, "So we're doing this here. What about elsewhere?"

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:48:38 AM)
(sokay.) *He nodded* We're going to get Kay and REALLY put some juice to it. Here, My place, and the VIP room at primeval.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:49:14 AM)
"What is primeval?"

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:51:56 AM)
That's the club we were in earlier, I own part of it, Mercedes runs it and owns the lions share, but originally it was meant to be the... awakened gathering spot. We nixed that when it became obvious some people were too stupid to be subtle.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:53:39 AM)
"The usual." She says dryly. "You know what we could do, though? Amp up the difficulty of doing magic there. That'll quit them."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:56:11 AM)
*He blinked... then grinned* Reinforce the blue fuck out of reality? It could work. But the problem was people were too stupid to not talk openly. There's private rooms in the VIP lounge because we couldn't be sure about who *might* want in and people just did not and still do not get that a forces mage can sit on the other end of the fucking superdome and eaves drop on you.

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:56:51 AM)
ANd people were still being fools and talking openly in the main VIP lounge about shit they wanted to keep private. Which I finally got pissed off about. I chewed up Aisling and Cas over it in front of Jareth and that's why he left.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 2:57:36 AM)
She listen to them, just taking it in.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 2:57:51 AM)
She laughs softly, "I can see that too. It's time to really get paranoid, but I think it's too late to hide our identities."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 2:59:47 AM)
*He noded* They won't though. For the record Jareth is a decent guy, but I'm sick of him getting a bleeding pussy every time social stressors arise. Kay starts talking about sex, he gets all emo and starts acting like he's got a headache, then he pisses off. Kay, Tarra, fuck, anyone says shit he's not comfortable with and he runs with his tail between his legs. I got tired of it and the other nihgt I flat told him to his face he was a chicken shit. ANd he is. *He shrugged* We won't be able to hide who we are anymore... no... at least not all of us, some of us maybe.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 3:00:42 AM)
"Which'll be hooped as soon as they start doing things with us. Just by hanging out they're, uh, revealed?"

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 3:02:17 AM)
Possibly. No one has known *fuck all* for too long and now it may be too late. *He thought for a moment* God what I wouldn't give for a few masters and some strong libraries...

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 3:02:45 AM)
"We're going to be the masters soon." She says quietly. "Just give us some time."

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 3:04:13 AM)
IF we can stay smart and strong and alive long enough... yeah.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 3:04:30 AM)
(guys, I am so tired it's not funny. I have to be back to work in six hours.)

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 3:05:04 AM)
"She looks tired. Maybe we should put her to bed?" She asks Craig.

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 3:05:11 AM)
(goodnight)

Tarra Shapiro (Mar 19, 2011 3:05:13 AM)

Craig Killian (Mar 19, 2011 3:06:11 AM)
*he nodded* You two get some rest. I'm heading home to stand vigil and begin preparing. We have a lot of warding to do and I need to add my own perceptions to the pool to keep an eye on things.

Janelle Timberland (Mar 19, 2011 3:08:10 AM)
