This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Tig segues into a mambo arrangement of the Cure's "Lovecats," hoping to convince the Devilcat to seek romance -- don't matter if it's in dreams or in a back alley, long as it's somewhere else, dig?

I'll lose 1 off of "Zorro With Guns", and watch to see what the three-headed dude manages.

16 vs. 4? With rolls like that, the Devilcat looses -2d.

The Devilcat stops chewing on Marco's arm and gets a thoughtful look on its face. Then it wanders off a bit and lets out a loud YOWL! A distant YOWL! answers it. 'In the Jungle, the quiet jungle' starts playing from nowhere as it leaps over the fence and prances off down the street.

The door behind you creaks open. Should you turn to look, you'll see a blue-haired old lady with cat ears and tail and cookies on a pan. The cookies smell of dog. You may or may not want to ask.

"Hello, dears. Cookies?"
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

"Who's the fool now, hambone?" Tig needles Marco.

The triploid leans on the gate, rolling a toothpick from one side of his mouth to the other, waiting to be let in.

Sorry, I was under the weather.

Okay!  I approach the gate and whisper, "Why are YOU here?  Have you business here?  And why should I let you in?"

(No problem. :) )

The blue-haired old lady blinks a few times, then starts feeding the cookies to the cats.

"Oh!  Madam!  Your catfood!"  I walk closer with the backpack held up...

...but I eye her carefully.  Too many surprises around here.

"Tig Harpe, Singer, Dancer, All-Around Razzmatazz.  I'm here for a birthday party," I reply, speaking loudly so the old geezer lady will hear to.  More quietly, "And say, what's yer story?  You come strapped pretty heavy for a delivery boy."

(My bad - Missed that I had something to respond to)

"Oh, the cat food! Bring it in here and set it on the alter!" She says with a cheerful smile.

...Perhaps you shouldn't have taken a delivery for Bast's Holy Catfood Company.

"Eh...my contract -- " I say, digging out a little wadded-up piece of paper, "-- does not cover installation."  I put the bag over my shoulder and point to the piece of paper.  "If you'd be so kind to make the payment of 2000 credits, I'll be on my way."

In response to Tig, I look sourly at the giant devil-cat, then motion to the gun at my hip.

I shrug, unmoved by the tough guy act.  I've been around tough guys before.  

With a wink at the delivery guy I call out "Begging your pardon, ma'am, but if you could buzz me in and show me where to set up I'd be grateful."

The giant devilcat wandered off to 'have a good time' and is out of sight, but you can still look sourly in the appropriate direction. :)

"Oh, well, contracts. All that law stuff...Makes my head hurt and then I have a nap." The old cat-lady digs out five 500-credit markers. "Here you go. Keep the change. Buy yourself some nice clothes." She says with a smile.

Tig hears a *bzzzz* and then the gate opens. "Oh, we've heard so much about you and Marge went to one of your concerts once. But Marge is scandalously energetic!"

I enter and sidle up the walk, my Ultra Compact Lunar-Actuated Microampliphone in tow.  "Hey there Mo, Shlomo, Giacomo!  How you been, Little Jen?" I give each cat a nickname as I walk by, accustomed to life on the moon where, by law, sentience is universal.  "What's cookin' cats and kittens?"

"Marge never told me she had a younger sister," I say to the old gal at the door.

Marco pockets the creds and gives the old lady a wink.  Hey, it's Day One stuff from school.  He heads back to his ship and hopes for no mimes.  He can be removed from play if the GM wishes.

A surly-looking sentient Prussian Blue cat.  He wears a shabby red collar with a broken jingle-bell on it.  He desperately wants thumbs.
