I knew it was a werewolf a page back.

Hello... 'leeches'?

My comment to CC?

Petrosjko: ...I have a very bad feeling about this. The sort of bum that could challenge four vampires AND uses the term 'leech'? Oh, wait, I'm dead. I don't care.

I thought you were using Presence.

In fact, the only reason he didn't tear you apart would be a successful and unsuccessfully resisted Dread Gaze. Therefore, you did you Presence.

*pause*

I heard presense? Did you hear presense? That's what I definately heard.

It's what I get for being unspecific/flavor texty. My immediate thought would be Dominate; It's a will to be crushed or subverted. However if, in the flavor of the moment, you as the ST decided Presence would be a better story motivator, then by all means, do what you will.

Wouldn't worry too much about it. Outside talk is outside talk and honestly funny. The whole reason for posting it was my immediate response.

Note to self. No more slaughtering of the homeless. It tends to piss off things that are bigger than me.

Dominate's a shitty choice for this situation. You need successes based on how much the target will resist the command. To turn aside a Garou in Crinos from killing vampires is incredibly hard. Dread Gaze, on the other hand, merely fills the foes with fear. It's not hard to pull off, and moderately difficult for supernaturals to resist.

Laugh now, but soon, oh yes, soon, you will be fodder for the cannon as well, once more. ~rings the bell for the Warhammer Tournament of Champion kill~ Ding ding. Next?

Understood.

Apologies for getting the two confused; I never really got into the Masquerade and currently am the storyteller for the Vampire: The Requiem venue over here in Austin. Sometimes it's difficult to keep disciplines straight as far as usefulness/power level since the lethality and pools are somewhat higher in the new game.

I'll pretend I don't know that you're involved with the Requiem.

Must... keep.... OOC hatred... OOC... Especially while said person is only reason my character is still alive.

Mmm....Requiem... Daeva ...LARP...~Purr~

Y'all should drop in on a game if you are ever this way ~smirks~ It will be a delightful time.

Mm, delicious spite!

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Tue Oct 04, 2005 11:31 pm

As a general rule, Presence is more limited than Dominate (influence feelings as oppossed to command), but easier to do.

Okay, prodding the primogen into a frenzy in the trainyard Zayne is in?

BAD KITTY!

Christ, I already had one character get waxed by a frenzying primogen. Can't we do the ONE HUNDRED FUCKING THOUSAND MEN one again?

*high five of evil with Dave*

Bratty · Post by **Bratty** » Sat Oct 22, 2005 10:31 pm

Umm...how is a high five evil? ~L~

Thumbs up of manipulation to Dave!

Wink of Doom to Robert

You've got a blood trail leading out of the trainyard, toward PCs you can interact with. Consider it incentive, which is something a good capitalist like you can wrap your head around.

Oh, use my bloodthirsty capitalism against me, ya fuckin' commie.

Can I sell you some rope?

You might want to post what your characters are up to and where they are by Sunday night Pacific time, if they aren't already clearly engaged in action. Refresher posts if your last one is a few pages back would be appreciated.
