The Vampires of San Francisco

Jim: “Is he aware he’s being mind controlled?”
Jason: “There are all manner of ways I could answer that but the simple fact is you don’t fucking know. Normally a human would not know, but this isn’t a normal human.” *counts out a very large handful of dice, begins to roll* “This is Jawahar Singh, of the Order of Hermes.”
Kara: “Who is an apprentice.”
Chris: “And who has just had significant amounts of blood drained from him after a period of extended oxygen deprivation earlier this evening.”
Jason: *hesitates, removes a single die from the pool*

Jason: “From within your bag you hear the faint sound of mechanical movement.”
Kara: “But the dragon doesn’t have any liquid in it!”
Jason: “I know.”
Kara: “…Creepy.”
Jim: “Or maybe all the liquid didn’t come out.”
Me: *mumbles* “Sounds like my prom night.”
Chris: “Maybe the liquid is just dripping out slowly, and when you think it’s all gone, there’s still more.”
Me: “That’s my prom night also!”

Chris: “Uh, the Anarchs like Paul. He’s bad-ass.”
Jason: “Some of the Anarchs like Paul.”
Chris: “The ones with taste like Paul.”

Jason: “Our intrepid band of adventurers…are not appearing in this game. Instead, we have douchebags. Who have returned from their excursion in Northern California to arrive back in the city where nothing bad will ever happen to them ever again.”
Everyone: “Yaaaaaaay.”
Jason: “But we’re not gonna start with the people who returned to the city, cause we have other people to have fun with–”
Chris: “Dug and Bob at the therapist!”
Jason: “NO!”
Chris: “No I think it’s therapy Monday again!”
Kara: “It is therapy Monday!”
Me: “Is it really?”
Kara: “…I don’t know.”
Me: “But it’s your job to track the days of the week!”
Kara: “Yeah, well…I’ve had some shit going on.”
Jason: “Speaking of shit going on, you are on the island of Thera. Or what was once the island of Thera–”
Jim: “You should put down a slave revolt!”
Kara: “Okay! That worked out well last time!”
Jason: “…Did it end with you joining the slaves?”
Kara: “Yes. And then I had to reroll.”
Jason: “Why?”
Kara: “Because I was thrown in prison and enslaved.”
Me: “…Oh my god, is your character still there?”
Kara: “…I think so?”
Me: *stage whisper* “You should rescue her in our world–”
Jason: “Our world is not fucking Earthdawn!!”
Kara: “Am I going to be able to rescue a Windling that was enslaved ten thousand years ago in a different game?”
Me: “If you hang around with mages, hell yeah you can!”

Jason: “Something is approaching. It’s either another one of the HIT Marks or it’s a T-rex. Or it’s Indominous rex.”
Kara: “That’s not a thing.”
Jason: “Indominous rex is definitely a thing. In fact, it’s a thing in canon.”
Me: “What? Our canon!? No, that was fanfiction!”
Jason: *grins* “I have the power to canonize it.”
Me: “Don’t you dare canonize Indominous rex!”
Jason: “I’m gonna canonize Indominous rex and the Ingen-Pentex Conglomerate.”
Me: “Urrg….”
Jason: “No, I’m not gonna do that. Okay, so, something is approaching, and it’s probably Indominous rex….”

Jim: “What type of helicopter is it?”
Jason: “I don’t know. A Bell.”
Me: “What, a Jetranger? Those aren’t very safe.”
Jason: *glares* “It’s the kind you personally hate the most.”
Me: “Ew, a Robinson?”
Jim: “I actually have a hundred and ten hours in Robinsons.”
Me: “The dragonfly ones? Cause those are alright. I mean the more modern ones where it looks like the rotors were slapped on as an afterthou–”
Jason: “I DON’T FUCKING KNOW!”
Chris: “What’s a helicopter an eccentric billionaire would fly?”
Jim: “Let’s say a Eurocopter. There’s some nice ones. I flew in one once.”
Me: “Oo, an A-Star? Those are the bes–”
Jason: “WHY DOES IT MATTER?”
Me: “Because if we’re going to be very specific about the various guns used in various situations then we’re going to be very specific about the helicopters too!”
Jason: “There are no guns on this helicopter!”
Me: “Yet.”

Chris: “I like how in the last game, I destroyed a car with a sword and flew across the forest in a wingsuit. And now, in this game, I am struggling to do paperwork.”

Chris: “…Jason, I would like to use Movement of the Mind. On myself.”
Jason: “For what purpose?”
Chris: “Mostly to prevent myself from slamming into things as this goes to hell.”
