I would get dizzy watching the movie of this scene.  Cutting back and forth from face to face to oddly rippling collar and sleeve to face....  Mixing up all the silent communications....

There's a scene in the first season of Young Justice where most of the cast are speaking through a telepathic link in front of someone who is not part of it. And someone put up a cut of the scene on YouTube where all the telepathic dialogue is removed and just how awkward that scene would look from outside it.

Ha!

That's great.

There's also a funny cut of Death Note where they removed all the internal dialogue when L and Yagami are going back and forth with mind games at a diner having breakfast, I think.  It's like two solid minutes of silence followed by a single sentence, then another minute and a half of silence, followed by a single word reply.  Honestly, there's probably several edits like that on the internet for various things.

I just want a show to lampshade it in the show.  Like, it starts with the audience taking part, then cuts to the face of someone present who should be part of the conversation but isn't telepathic/whatever and just looks between everyone with this confused expression before saying, "Is it always this awkwardly silent with you guys?"

As for the game itself, I like the implication that Meara and Freyr hadn't just developed some sort of personal connection due to knowing one another for so long, but actually speak some sort of Venusian/family subtle face language akin to sign language.

Oh, no, it's very much a case of "we know each other too well" but Meara being able to pick up on it just feels very Meara appropriate.

Oh good!  That amuses me greatly.

Because it seems very fitting, I'd like to offer a FP or Compel for Brun, based on however Boss wants to play it...

Tag Time and Tides - Eppagelía, their child, would be a very strong trigger for shifting perspectives.  Falling town rabbit holes of future possibilities strongly associated with them.

I understands that it might be hard to detail any of that, so we can imply/handwave details.  But, a perfect moment for helpful Future Insight from a Future Brun (Pay a FP) OR Troublesome Future "Insights" or a less helpful Future Brun shift (Compel)

Boss, want to take the offer or skip?  I'm good either way, it just felt like a good moment!

Yes. I will take that sweet sweet Fate Point and offer you some insight: Brun never experiences a future where he's truly old. Older, sure, but if he follows all of his visions as far as he can, he sees the stars going out, leaving an empty void and then nothing...

Holy Crap!!!  That's the HELPFUL insight!?!

Sure, it's helpful. It lets you narrow down a time frame somewhat...

So...  How long does he guess before his sight goes dark?

Before the stars go out? Give or take fifteen years...

Euryleia will hold and respond later.  I wrote enough!

Also, I've experienced trying to make sure my OOC knowledge doesn't creep into character decisions in games.

But Brun is the opposite!  IC, he has more information than ME and I'm having to keep information I don't have out of my player decisions!

FP for the excellent post, Brun!

*Nomnoms* Yay

I will let you guys react/respond to Brun before I GM post again as it feels like his post is a mood shifter.

Reminder, nobody outside you guys actually saw anything. There were security lock downs because of what happened, but that didn't stop people from doing their best to keep partying. As far as anyone on Avaluna for the wedding is concerned, these are just normal security functions.

No one's freaked out by the sudden city-wide lockdown immediately after dinner? :o

Maybe initially, but after Meara convinced Auntie Val to roll with it, they just played it off as "routine security procedure to ensure the enjoyment of our guests" and everyone was just happy to get back to partying and making money. Probably assumed two of the Jovian lords duked it out or something. Happens somewhat often at these things. Gwydion would know, he caused a few of those incidents in the past. ;)

Hey, hey now! I caused nothing! I finished them. :P

Can't show weaknesses in front of the ravenous piranhas other lords.

Piranha is apt.  Fun Fact: They are known to eat each other when times are tough.  *snaps teeth*

Ironically, I posted Brun and Euryleia out of order and don't know how to easily fix it!

Also, there's no need to detail Euryleia's conversation, she's just sticking to light topics to get to know Eppagelia a little.

Would you like to repost them in the right order and once you've done that I will remove the originals? That should fix everything.

I can try if I get the chance today!  I snuck them in before everything got started for the day!
