Do we recover any hitpoints from that night of rest? I lost 1 BODY after crashing the moped.

Valeriya, normal healing even without medical attention is 1 point per day.  If you get down to 1 point left, 0 or -4 very bad things start to happen.  At 1 point or less you need a hospital; at 0 you are unconscious and at -4 dead.

V-trodes are basically like a screen monitor, they let you see things in virtuality.  They don't provide any function beyond that ability.  you can interact with virtuality things without them, if they are interactive, but you be able to see what you are doing.

Thanks, Referee, updated my BODY accordingly.


And a v-term is the actual computer/phone, am I right? The v-term does the actual computing and produces the interface into virtuality, and the v-trodes allow you to see/perceive that interface/any other thing in virtuality. You need both.

Ohhhhh. You dun goofed.

Hi, i was reading the latest ic posts, so if tailgate found his byke and is going back at the place that means that at least one of us outside will go back walking. Am i correct?

Probably Shin-Ji. He's got a go go of 1: never even owned a bike.

Jai is not currently out with team bikes. Just saw that he was referenced.

In reply to Jai (msg # 230):

Ah, ok. Sorry, for some reason I thought you were with us.

In reply to Shin-Ji Han (msg # 229):

Val has a GoGo of 3: knows just enough to crash it.

If someone needs a ride, he can give one. =)

Just as long as someone else agrees to take Val's bike, otherwise Shin-Ji will just have to risk it and take it slow.

In reply to Valeriya (msg # 232):
Nikola has 4 for Gogo, so since she was not able to find something to create an excuse she can bring the bike back to Val, that way everyone who ventured outside has a ride.. i think

Maybe Val should just admit defeat, sell the bike and hitch rides - safer for everyone...

That moped's song just became...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gLVqjIvokc

I'm a little confused?

Quick note about the scene between Vamp and Val: Vamp never actually raised her voice. There was no yelling involved.

That makes it even scarier.

I will post an update/montage and change the scene to the Mall later today.  I have to travel until Saturday and won't be able to post, though I can read.  Please continue until I return

So, two questions...

1) Do we get the usual recommendations in the book (I.E. Get camping gear, buy at least some kids stuff to throw off shopping trackers for a bit).

2) Does our contact tell us about Hot'Za's weapons? (I'm imagining our resident Mallbrat knows about them anyway).

3) Do we want to meet at Za to discuss our plans and maybe what to buy? Or just do our shopping now and write out a list?

Shin-Ji is willing to recommend combat gear (most of which involves buying concealable or camouflaged armour and small concealable weapons).

Some people would probably appreciate the advice, others not so much.

He would really like some assistance in picking out some kind of transport device, probably at least a smartboard.

4) Remind me if we got some extra money please?

5) I see there's a swimwear store. Will there be an actual chance for that/onsen episode? How much is an actual bikini, e.g. half the top/pants prices? :P

No one has called Minerva yet, the answers to 1, 2 and 4 would come out in that call.  Minerva will not make specific recommendations, other than to be practical and camouflage a specific purchasing trail.   As for 4, yes, she will give you each an extra 1,000 euros.

For bikini, price is entirely dependent on the label: a designer bikini will cost way more than casual top and bottom combined.  Use 15 euros as the base cost, there are modifiers in the book I believe for style and fashion.

I believe this is called "creating a necessity" :D

For the moment the game has a specific course that it must run, but once you have your cyberevolved abilities (the scene after the mall) it becomes more sand-boxy.  In that respect you get a fair amount of say as to what you guys want to do.  These early scenes help to bring disparate yogangers together so you have a reason to stay together after.

So an onsen/spa trip is there if you guys want it!

Ironically, when you create a new necessary thing in a game, my friends refer to that as a "Water Breathing Mermaid" problem :)

I have a preliminay list made.

I was going to suggest we try and pool some cash for the all in one appliance at some point, but unsuprisingly I have like two bucks left to contribute, and forgeting basic shit is very IC for teens.

Current Plan

Memorial Tatoo 25
Techmax Skinwatch 20
Heavy Armorjack 400
Mondo Pizza with  (Vegetarian) 16
Hunting bow 150
6 Spare arrows 12
(24 arrows)
Sleeping Bag 20
Sleeppad 20
Striptape Binders 20
Outdoor Backpack* 25
Nylon Carryall 5
Spare Generic Loafing Gear (Shirt, pants, generic) 45
Smart Board 200
998 Euro Total.

*  I just made this up on the fly, it sounded reasonable.

I am open to suggestions as to changes from other players or the GM.

I didn't see non-perishable food/water anywhere.

Does anyone think I'm overdoing it with the heavy armorjack? -2EV is painful, but so is gettnig shot.

Won't anyone think about shoes? Not to mention underwear...
