Silly Stennerman, you can't logic your way out of mass hallucinations, that's just a fast track to losing your shit! Into the maw of the beast! And by beast I mean incinerator!

With the immediate threat of Dr. Goonaro avoided, we continue our exploration of the improbable station Hard Light. What new horrors will we find!?

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Epic goo battle part 2. We need a medic! No, a real medic. Where's Ferne?

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Epic goo battle. A notable lack of crabs, though.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

What are those pesky spec ops guys up to? No good, no doubt. Wherever could they have learned such shenanigans? But they're actually the least of our problems. There are mad scientists about!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

The goo is not forklift certified, and is therefore not allowed in enginee--[MULTIPLE OVERLAPPING ALARMS]

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Goo bad, we should avoid goo. We should equip ourselves to better avoid goo. By avoid, I mean burn our way through.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

The team gears up from what's available and finds a secret tunnel to, I dunno, meowsville, probably. SAVE THE CAT!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Station Security will have arms and armour for us. Hopefully. Please. I miss my power armour. Just gotta get there! I'm sure there won't be any complications on the way!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Consequences!? For my actions!? IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK! Stennerman has to come to grips with having blood on, well, not her hands. Far as she's concerned, she's blameless! Not her fault someone made a stupid tactical decision given the information at hand. Good thing the rest of the team sees it that way too, right? RIGHT?

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

We receive our mission brief from Dr. Genaro, and are told to enjoy the party until our ship is refueled for the return trip. Is what happens next the fault of Stennerman and her lack of Holiday Cheer? Well at least we got to pet a cat before [REDACTED]

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Close Encounters of the cute kind! Each of the team has our own mysterious experience with felonious feline. Stennerman never worked retail, but if she did, the music would've had her behind bars before the season was out. Ba Humbug!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Mystery solved! Lets do a terrorism!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

A Fed !? I don't believe that person's ever been to Fed school.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

We discuss what we need to pull off a kindred's fake death, and further the plots of the Cam dissenters back home. Maybe the feds will help?

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

ACTION! DRAMA! DIABLERIE! It's justified! Promise!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

We got Honor out of Anarch clutches, but what the heck do we do with her now? And will they really let her go this easily?

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

The human help dons a guise of a gay couple to do a daylight STAKE out. We finally find our quarry, and they're a whiny bitch. AND! THE THICKEN PLOTS! Jane shows a remarkable amount of restraint.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

The coterie has a discussion on just what exactly to do with Honor. Should probably find her first, though. Good thing we know people who know things!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Despite what the title might imply, the Preacher is still the least worst person in Indianapolis.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Victor wanted to name this episode.

The aforementioned allies arrive unexpectedly to continue slowing our investigation, despite their insistence they're helping.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

As all Vampire are expected to do, we check in withy the local leadership. Lo and behold we, the Coterie of the aggressively independent, have a bad time! At least we got fashion tips. So not a total loss.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Prince Jackson has WORDS for us. Well, I've got two finger, buddy! Count em! For once, Vic and Jane are in agreement. We've got an investigation, and we'd appreciate being allowed to just investigate! Our next lead takes us to Indianapolis! Surely nothing will go wrong here!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Jane goes on an adventure, and makes new furry friends while the rest of the Coterie attends a meeting with the higher ups! Vic gets a whole revelation out of it!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

We've got a lot of goals, but how do we get there from here? And just how many bridges can we burn on the way there?________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

The Coterie tracks Sundown, and the mystery deepens, even as we unravel it!________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

We finish at the Elysium, then track SUNDOWN all across town. What are you up to, ya damn Nos!?

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Court continues! I hate this Vampire BS. Things were so simple back when I was still alive!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

We continue dealing with the lupine. They say they have my smell now. Teen spirit?

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

What the hell are you up to, Anton? In gumshoe biz we call 'em WAGs. Wild Ass Guesses. They don't always pan out, but when they do, I look really smart! Thankfully Lupine induced brain damage will make Vic forget I was wrong this time around!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Split the party? Split the party. I don't even like these people.________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

We finish our sewer conversation with the vamps, and plan our approach to the Court. Surely lying to the Prince wouldn't have any consequences!

(My apologies for the short episode. We had to cut the recording short for family matters)

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Last animal I saw: Rat.

Last thing I smelled: Indescribably bad.

Last thing I read: Thin Blood Rune.

Last person I talked to: Terrorist(?).

Skye and Jane are in the sewer talking to some thin bloods. Can we make even more enemies? Or perhaps! Friends?

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

The Coterie comes across a gathering of vamps in violation of Decker's Laws. Good thing none of us are cops. Or whatever the vampire version of that is.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

The investigation would go much faster if JW and Decker would get off our backs! We've been invited to court. I'm told "invited" isn't a suggestion. Sure. I'll run right over. Nowhere I'd rather be. That's wrong. The sewers. I'd rather be in the sewers. LETS GO THERE.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

The investigation continues! We're going to a gay bar. For the investigation. Decker's investigation. The investigation for Decker. Which leads to the gay bar. We have a lead! Despite Vic's best efforts.

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Decker's pet Nos adds to the coterie's annoyance! Please! We're allegedly professionals! Let us work! Also we made a friend! Could they also be a witness? I hate this vampire stuff!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

A lead! We found Honor's friend in her backup haven, and she has clues that furthers our investigation. Surely there won't be any hang ups in the final moments!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

How did the feds get involved so fast, and why does one of them seem to know about Vampires? I'm sure that won't be a problem! Not MY masquerade breach!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

We're not the only ones on the hunt for the Prince's Childe. Good thing the Prince is there to get in the way of the investigationhe asked us to do!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

The Coterie begins exploring Milwaukee. There are mysteries afoot, and we'll have to do a little more than scratch the surface if we're going to unravel everything Milwaukee has to offer!

________

It was brought to our attention that we made a bunch of references to Willerton without actually mentioning what the heck happened there! We played the Willerton arc before we decided to make a podcast, so no recordings exist of that. While it's tempting to simply hand wave a "what happens in Willerton, stays in Willerton" James and Sammi recorded a discussion episode to give some context to Willerton! Enjoy!

________

Blue Sky: @fwc-actual-play.bsky.social

Kicking off the Vampire the Masquerade arc! Having survived the unraveling of mysteries, the coterie have found themselves in the good graces of Chicago's Camarilla. Unfortunately, the peril of being known is being assigned tasks. Who better to solve a missing vampire case than two private detectives, and two of the richest vamps this side of Lake Michigan!
