99- The Grandmaster

Dane: [GM] One of the permanent structures in the middle of the camp is a small two-story house. Jenise steps inside and instructs you to wait for her to come back.
Soo: [OOC] Okay, how are we doing this. We should probably figure out who is going to do most of the talking with this guy.
Ian: [OOC] First impressions are important.
Joe: [OOC] I thought we were going to have Bailey seduce him.
Soo: [OOC] I think that was a joke or, at least, my subconscious decided it was to keep myself from leaving.
Kyle: [Bailey Hunt] Bailey unbuttons a couple buttons on his shirt just to be ready, showing off some chest hair. You know, just in case.
Ian: [OOC] Great now me AND my character are sick.
Kyle: [OOC] Figure I'd show this grandmaster a little bit of the Temple of Elemental Evil, if you know what I mean.
Joe: [OOC] If I were going to name my love-jungle after a DnD module, I would have picked Tomb of Horrors.
Soo: [OOC] Thank you, I now forever will have the term 'love-jungle' in my mind like a festering lesion on my soul.
Dane: [GM] As you stand around outside the building, a robed figure approaches you.
Joe: [GR-210] "Ugg, it's probably an old man looking to send us on a side-quest."
Dane: [GM] The figure pulls off her hood slightly and you quickly recognized her as that Shadow's Watch technician who installed GR-210's new parts. "Listen my cover here is really not all that great so I just need to pass this along to you quickly."
Soo: [Kali dVostog] Kali looks around quickly to make sure no one is watching. She lowers her voice to a whisper. "What is it?"
Ian: [OOC] Hey it's Techie! She's so cool.
Dane: [GM] For the last time, stop naming my characters.
Joe: [OOC] I bet you don't even have a name for her and you're just pissy we came up with one first.
Dane: [GM] Am not!
Dane: [GM] The technician holds out a small metal box with lots of wires and knobs on it. "This is a listening device. I need you to plant it in the Grandmaster's office when you meet him. It will let the Watch get more information on the Order's operations."
Joe: [OOC] The Watch, the Order, the Grandmaster. You know if you capitalize too many words in a sentence this is officially a White Wolf game right?
Ian: [Mari Shasho] Mari takes the device and stuffs it in her pocket, letting her baggy clothing hide the object. "Okay, we'll do our best."
Dane: [GM] The technician nods and smiles. "Good luck." She makes a brief gesture with her hand involving a fist. "Ever in the shadows" she mutters, reciting the traditional motto of the Watch before she slips away.
Joe: [OOC] Dane called her the technician twice. I really think she doesn't have a name.
Kyle: [OOC] Easily tested...
Kyle: [Bailey Hunt] Bailey hollers "'ey! Fer'got ta ask yer name."
Dane: [GM] She's already gone.
Soo: [OOC] He soooo does not have a name for her.
Ian: [OOC] Techie it is then. Long live Techie.
Dane: [GM] Jenise sticks her head out the door. "Come on inside." She leads you inside. Danielle closes the door before I forget she was in that scene. A man is sitting on a comfy couch across the room from you all. He is an older man with a large belly, a bushy Wilford Brimley mustache and round features. Jenise bows deeply. "This is Grandmaster Trant, show 'im the utmost respect. He's the visionary prophet of our Order."
Soo: [Kali dVostog] Kali bows deeply. "Grandmaster..."
Dane: [GM] Grandmaster Trant waves his hand in a very... camp... way. "Heyo! Don't let miss all-business over there get you spooked! Welcome to little slice of the new world order kittens! Sit! Sit! I was going to make some coffee and such!"
Kyle: [OOC] Maybe that whole unshirting thing might have worked.
Soo: [OOC] I feel like this is offensive to someone. Maybe everyone.
Ian: [OOC] I know Dane well enough not to trust anything he does overtly. This guy is probably straight as a ruler.
Joe: [OOC] I don't really care! I automatically love this guy!
Dane: [GM] Why would it matter if he's one way or the other? Society has progressed enough.
Ian: [OOC] Think inclusive social progress only works with good guys. It's still offensive to make people villains. I'll have the check the rules to be sure.
Kyle: [OOC] We're not complaining that this guy might bat for the other team Dane, we're just trying to figure out who was going to seduce him.
Dane: [GM] WHEN DID THAT BECOME THE PLAN?!
Ian: [OOC] Take this seriously guys. If anime has taught me anything, the less masculine a male villain is, the more dangerous they are.
Soo: [OOC] Yeah, this guy is the head of a deadly, world-ending cult.
Dane: [GM] Trant begins to make mixed drinks. "Who likes marshmallow-flavored vodka besides me?"
Soo: [OOC] Alternatively, we could pull this campaign out of the exploitation movie it's becoming by killing him right now.

    I think you might be missing an "I" and maybe a "to" in there.

    "Joe: [OOC] The Watch, the Order, the Grandmaster. You know if you capitalize too many words in a sentence this is officially a White Wolf game right?"
    No typos here. I just love this line!

    1. Nah, just going for a sense of conversational tone. And yeah, of all the things White Wolf games contain, nothing ever stood out to me quite like the sheer amount of proper nouns. Not that I disliked a lot of them. Quite a fan of Scion when it came out.
