i am more than willing to sign up for a game, since i absolutely love the metro universe. i'm also a very finicky gun nut and would be more than willing to pore over pointless minutae such as ammunition and barrel calibres and the feasibility of the bastard gun.

Hoo boy, that was some game last night.
Trying to organize a log of 6 different chats together into one coherent and readable thing is no easy feat, especially when everyone kept grouping together and buggering off. I'll get one up soon for the 1 of you that actually read the damned things.

Disco you have some very deep seated issues with anything masculine and it's very troubling.
Like, it's really fucking weird. Valerie Solanas didn't have as much of an issue with men as you do.
On another note, I really hate how weeks only have seven days, because running a game every 14 days is too sparse and every 7 days is too short.
10 days would be best.

Here's part two of my game session from last Friday if anyone is following it. My furnace came on during the first few minutes of the recording. I'll be moving my group to somewhere else in my house to avoid that problem in the future.

No, you won't. Ascended Devil Tigers become Titans via the charm 'The Face of the Titans'. They're wholly more powerful than Primordials, if given the time to amass experience, as they have the ability to learn charms from other creator beings- Whether Primordials, Yozi or Neverborn.

I still think a pyromaniac stuntman who survived his movie career, the apocalypse, 200 years of wandering around the wasteland, his own driving and love of explosives by sheer dumb luck is the best character I've had.
[B]Magical Burst: Session 4: Love in an Elevator[/B]
[url]http://pastebin.com/Lvb1fBns[/url]
I'm going to apologize in advance for the ridiculous length of this. Nobody's even going to read this, let alone the damned log.
[quote]We begin our session with our heroines in their respective homes (except Satoya who was probably in a box somewhere because she's homeless).
Things are going to jump around a bit, so try and keep up.
Starting from Eve's perspective, she heads to the ruined retirement home from the previous session. The retirement home where her last remaining family member, her grandmother, lived. There she meets Enomatia, the magical raven, that they've talked with before.
Eve asks Eno if she could use the one wish granted by collecting the 13 Oblivion Seeds (gems dropped upon a demon/youma's death) to bring back the retirement home and everyone in it. Eno says it can be done. Eve thanks Eno and starts to walk away before Eno flies over and gives her one of his feathers, saying she can contact him through it by focusing on the feather. Eve thanks Eno and makes her way to Ally's house.
Jumping to Satoya's perspective for a time, she makes her way to Ally's house to apologize for being a complete fucktard and carrying her into melee combat. Satoya, having proven her intelligence before in these manners, climbs a tree and taps at Ally's bedroom window. Ally opens it, and they share a few words. Ally is hurt, upset, and angry with Satoya, to say the least. She slams the window in Satoya's face.
At this time Eve shows up, shouts at Satoya, then enters Ally's home (the normal way) with the thanks of Ally's mother for being such a good friend to her daughter. Eve consoles Ally, I completely forget about the 10 pilfered rabbits from the first session that Ally had, and Ally and Eve watch Gurren Lagann. Satoya had buggered off to find a warm place for a catnap.
Now jumping to Eri, the new girl's, perspective, she's at home, cleaning and watching the news. Some news of the retirement home's destruction, the damages at the mall caused by Ally and Satoya, and several uninteresting other stories appear as she cleans and walks the dog. Then, the magical overcharge she built up from the previous sessions expels itself in the form of a neighborhood-wide EMP blast. The neighborhood's gonna be out of power for a while. Whoops.
Now jumping to Sarah's perspective, she decides to find a large and secluded spot for some magic practice, since she is completely clueless about what she can do besides swing her polearm really well and run fast. She enters a section of a nearby park that is empty and walled in with tall hedges. A bit of swinging with her weapon later, and out of a bush pops Hakurobe, the magical cat. They share some snarky comments as Hakurobe avoids some questions with clever banter. Sarah gets sick of Haku's shit, picks him up, and starts sprinting in circles, much to his displeasure. A few words later, and in walks Eri. How she got here I'll explain in the next paragraph.
Jumping back in time a bit, we go to Eri, who after EMPing her neighborhood decides to go to the mall to investigate the damages for any magical and nefarious origins (she is unaware that it was caused by Satoya and Ally). On her way, she passes a park, and using her special magic ability, detects a "Lawful Neutral" presence, as well as a presence whose alignment is shifting and unreadable. She enters the hedge-walled part of the park and encounters Sarah and Haku.
These three share some more words, when the bushes rustle again. Some hiding checks on one player's part, and search checks on two others', reveals the bush-rustler to be none other than Satoya, having previously decided that the park would make a lovely napping spot.
The four converse for a while, then Eri leaves for the mall, Sarah goes home, and Satoya curls up on a bench with Hakurobe.
Eri at the mall purchases various camping supplies and a gift bag, discovering nothing of interest in regards to the burned arcade, smashed paintball gun display, and smell of animals everywhere.
We'll cut back to Eve now, who has now left Ally's house after a few episodes of Gurren Lagann and decides that a walk in the park would be a good thing to do. Her walk takes her by some familiar hedges, but she decides to walk onwards after hearing some indeterminable voices from within the walls.
Eve, suitably distracted by any number of things, bumps into someone else. Some profuse and ineffectual apologies later, she looks up to see a girl about her age with pink hair pointed and shaped like flickering fire. The pink-haired girl is overly aggressive, getting on Eve's case, and generally being a bitch. Pink-hair knows that Eve is a magical girl, and knows that there are magical girls in the park (you should know who [I]that[/I] refers to). A conk on Eve's head later from the irritated pink-haired assailant, and they part ways, with some less-than-friendly parting words:
10:11 PM - The Contractor: "Just remember, and tell your friends. All the youma here are MINE."
Eve investigates the park now, and finds nothing but a sleeping Satoya and Haku, then goes home.
Cue soft twinkling piano sleep scene transition music, when suddenly they're all jolted awake from a terrifying nightmare, with a feeling of bad mojo. They instinctively know that the location of this bad juju is from an apartment complex currently under construction.
Through ridiculous anime convenience, they all (minus Satoya) arrive outside the building at the same time. Entering, they immediately see the entrance to the youma's nightmare arena labyrinth realm place. The doors to the elevator in the apartment lobby are open, and there's a swirling black vortex of despair and misery.
Sarah changes into magical form and charges. Eri follows suit. Eve goes last, cautiously.
The vortex puts them in the back of the elevator in crazy nightmare land. Those two who charged out ran unwittingly straight out the nightmare elevator's open door, and enter a freefall in a bottomless elevator shaft. Sarah grabs onto an elevator cable, and Eri digs her sword into the wall to slow her descent. Eve sloppily jumps out of the elevator and onto the cable Sarah is on.[/quote]
DISCLAIMER: There's more to come, but I've got to go now. I'll finish this up when I get home.

I don't understand how the PnP thread considers things like this to be too long to bother reading. I've seen it a lot here and I don't get it.
It might be because posting anything that long anywhere else usually results in dumbs or people asking for TL;DRs, but that's my guess. I know that for some things that I've done people would get overly aggressive over the length of my post, telling me to pack it up and leave the thread. [sp]And it wasn't even anything particularly dumb or long, it was just me posting my half story/ half "lets play" (it was in a comic book esq format that didn't take itself very seriously) of Pokemon Crystal.[/sp]

And now, part deux (my god this is even longer)
[quote]I'll elaborate more on the "arena" they're in before I continue.
From an overhead perspective, it is two elevator shafts wide, with shafts spaced infinitely next to each other to the left and right, while the shafts stretch up and down endlessly as well.
For a very quick and sloppy picture reference, this is an overhead view:
...[][][][][]...
...[][][][][]...
with each set of brackets being an elevator shaft, and the periods symbolizing the infinity left and right. Each shaft has its own cable, and the shafts are all separated by pipes, wires, supports, etc, but can all be crossed with ease.
Occasionally beneath them and some ways to their left, they hear a sharp cracking noise and see a burst of flame.
Moving on, Sarah slides down the cable and stops at the next "floor" that has a set of elevator doors. She pries these open, revealing another series of elevator shafts in the exact layout as before. The three enter this and make like Tarzan, swinging across elevator cables with varying degrees of passing Physical rolls.
Then, a ways to their right, a set of elevator doors explode outwards in a burst of fire, bringing with them a massive white snake large enough to swallow a person whole, at least.
Following in that snake's proverbial footsteps flies a familiar (to you and Eve, anyway) pink-haired girl with a whip.
To describe her outfit in detail:
"Even from this distance, you see that her dress is a gradient from red to orange, starting red from the bottom and leading up to the top of the dress. A tiara shaped like flames with orange jewels embedded in it rests on her head, and her pink hair flickers like fire. Yellow stitch laces make patterns of flames along the seams of her dress."
She cracks the whip at the retreating snake, and a wave of fire follows the whip's path, covering the snake.
Eri calls out a friendly greeting as Eve shakes her head vigorously in an attempt to get Eri to do anything but that. Polite as ever, Pink-hair (now referred to as Pinky), gives the pleasant greeting of
11:05 PM - The Contractor: "Who the fuck are you? This is MY kill!"
Distracted by the exchange, Pinky fails to notice the overgrown snake lunge at her and throw her (along with itself) back into the previous lineup of shafts.
At the moment, they're all stacked on the same elevator cable. Then they hear a rumbling from above, and notice that an elevator is speeding down towards them. They make Physical rolls to hop to the next cable over.
Eri nails her roll, swinging onto another cable and out of the speeding elevator's path.
Eve completely loses her grip and begins to slide further down the cable. She manages to more or less pass the other two rolls that let her grab it again and hop to the next cable.
Sarah attempts and fails miserably at jumping to the next cable over. Then fails the Finesse roll to grab onto anything at all as she plunges. Conveniently, though, her fall is stopped by her landing on a support beam, taking a wee bit of damage (that being a little over half her health :v: ).
Then they hear the ever-pleasant voice of their new magical acquaintance
11:16 PM - The Contractor: "BURN, YOU FUCKING LIZARD!"
11:16 PM - The Contractor: the snake once more crashes through another set of doors, lower down
The snake slithers over to the cable Eri is on, and wrapping itself around it, begins to climb upwards towards her. Its breath comes out in puffs of steam and its fangs are like icicles.
Eri pulls out a campfire starting log that she had purchased and tosses it at the snake as it lunges. It bites the log instead of her.
Initiative rolls, then combat starts. Pinky jumps through the doors the snake exploded out of, practically running up the walls with a little help from some swinging on cables, then strikes the snake, scoring a solid hit.
Eri goes next, swinging out of the snake's path and attacking as well, scoring a halfway decent hit:
11:33 PM - The Contractor: with some smooth swings, you slice off a few more scales
11:33 PM - The Contractor: The snake hisses
11:34 PM - Eri Motai: I wink at the firey girl as she runs past me.
11:34 PM - The Contractor: She is not amused
11:34 PM - The Contractor: If anything, she is furious
Eve uses her turn to heal Sarah a bit.
Sarah gets up after the fall she took and swings her way back over to the snake.
Pinky's turn now, and instead of attacking the giant monster ice snake, she cracks her whip at the cable Eri is on, wrapping the whip around it and pulling it and Eri towards herself. She then tries and fails to punch Eri in the face.
The snake goes next, blowing an icy breath at Eri and Pinky. Eri passes the roll to avoid the debuff, but Pinky does not.
Eri goes next, attempting to be nice and using her microwave burst attack to thaw Pinky out a bit. She finishes her turn by swinging to another cable.
Eve then goes, attempting to move in for an attack but failing the Physical roll just barely, managing to swing close to the snake but sliding a way down the cable unintentionally. She then casts her magical equivalent of the Pokemon move Razor Leaf, and shoots a cloud of razor-sharp four-leaf clovers at it, scoring absolute piss damage.
Sarah now goes, slice and dicing the snake some more.
Pinky's up next, not bothering with Eri, and opting to hurl a fireball at the snake, dealing some fair damage.
The snake goes, launching itself at Sarah, with a shit attack roll which would be virtually impossible to fail a defense challenge against.
Sarah fails the defense challenge. At first, anyway. Opting for some Overcharge points to match that, Sarah manages to avoid getting chomped and kicks off the snake's face, jumping to another cable.
Another elevator begins to drop on Eri's cable, but she swings out of the way with little effort.
A different elevator, meanwhile, slowly chugs its way up from the blackness below and stops, making itself available for use as a platform.
Eri swings over to the snake, failing a physical roll and ending up too low to attack. She then starts a buff move for her sword.
Eve's turn, and she launches more razor clovers at the snake, dealing some decent damage this time.
Sarah cuts once more at the snake, hitting for some good damage.
Then,
12:32 AM - The Contractor: Pinky swiftly uses her cable to guide herself along a wallrun, ending with a jump that lands her on the snake's head
12:33 AM - The Contractor: it thrashes and swings, but she uses her whip as a sort of reign to stay on
12:33 AM - The Contractor: Reaching a hand into the beast's mouth, she pries off one of the icicle fangs, and stabs it repeatedly in the head with its own fang
12:34 AM - Sarah Salem: ((edgy))
12:34 AM - The Contractor: Its struggles becomes less active as it finally loses all grip on the cable, falling with her still on it into the abyss
12:35 AM - The Contractor: You wait with bated breath to see if anything happens, and the only thing you see is Pinky shimmying her way up a cable
12:36 AM - The Contractor: In the reddened hand that held the icicle fang is a white jewel (the Oblivion Seed)
12:36 AM - The Contractor: "You cunts are so in for it."
12:37 AM - Sarah Salem: ((she mad))
Pinky hops on top of the elevator that stopped. Some brief conversing is had. Pinky tells the others to piss off. They start to, but Eri just [I]has[/I] to say something back to Pinky. Pinky is not pleased, and launches a fireball in Eri's general direction. Eri uses her light-bending magic to enshroud Pinky in darkness.
A poor decision.
The elevator shaft begins to heat up, and they make Physical rolls to get out of it before the entire thing goes up in flames. Eri and Eve pass, but Sarah does not.
Here's where it gets fun.
Sarah fails to climb out of the shaft in time as the entire thing is completely filled with fire. The damage puts Sarah over the edge, and she can't keep up her magic anymore, untransforming from her magical form as she starts to fall down the bottomless elevator shaft.
She passes a roll to stay conscious as she falls. She fails a roll to grab the cable. She fails [I]another[/I] roll to grab the cable. She passes a roll to grab a pipe, and just barely passes a roll to not lose her grip as her falling momentum and her single-handed grip on the pipe she grabbed collide and pop her shoulder out of its socket.
12:59 AM - The Contractor: you are now dangling several floors below the others, by one hand, with a dislocated shoulder
Pinky is panting from the exertion, kneeling and out of commission for a minute.
Eve attacks Pinky because damn, dealing some eh damage. Initiative rolls, then combat starts in full as Eve goes first again, using a special move to bind Pinky and prevent her from attacking or moving.
Pinky attempts and fails to break the binds.
Eri slides down to help Sarah before she opts to absorb the Oblivion Seed she had gotten previously, gaining some ridiculous buffs in the process as Pinky swears up a storm.
Sarah's turn now, and she attempts to pull herself up.
She fails.
Eri attempts to catch her.
She fails.
Eve is Sarah's last hope, and she uses the special move she used before to create magic ropes of clovers strung between pipes and supports and such to create a net that catches Sarah. She [I]would[/I] have failed if she didn't Overcharge the roll.
Pinky's turn, and boy is she not happy. She Overcharges her roll and breaks out of the binds and can do nothing else.
Eri's turn, and now shit gets real.
2:04 AM - Eri Motai: "Tonight, you won't fall at the mouth of a demon, but BY THE HAND OF AN ANGEL! LORD I CALL UPON YOU TO SMITE HER!"
Eri has some massive buffs from the Oblivion Seed absorption, using a special finishing move that deals +4 damage. For the chance to hit attack roll, she scores 27 or so if I remember correctly. That is some serious overkill as it is and absolutely wrecks Pinky's defense score.
Then, the damage.
1d6 + 4 from the finisher move + 4 from the OC dice chained + 6 from the Oblivion Seed + x (I don't know the number) from half the attack stat (also buffed) + 1 from class ability.
23 damage. Average damage has been about 8. Eri manages to almost [I]triple[/I] that.
Eri's unfathomable rage completely takes over as she defies physics and hops across the elevator cables, slicing at Pinky with her MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE attack. The attack hits with such force that it drives Pinky completely through the elevator she was standing on. The last thing they see of her is her untransforming from her magical form as she rockets downwards into the bottomless abyss.
The three of them leave the place and reenter into the real world. The portal to the Nightmare doesn't close, so they can only presume that Pinky hasn't struck anything in her bottomless fall and died yet.
Eri decides to camp out in front of the elevator, while Eve carries Sarah to a hospital because seriously she's probably got internal injuries, not to mention the dislocated shoulder that she failed a roll to pop back into place herself.
In the hospital, Sarah is carted immediately into the care of some doctors while Eve's magical overcharge expels itself in a reality distortion that makes it so anyone who answers the phones hears their loved ones getting brutally murdered.
And that's where we left off.[/quote]
