"Haha. That's where I come in. Brave probably isn't the right word, honestly. So, Seth OK'd my Capitol Hill mission. I'll assemble a crack team. If all goes well, we can try Fremont next." Richie- "I've heard bad things about Capitol Hill..." Alex took out an itty bitty notepad from his pocket."Bud, is there anything specific we should look for? Best I can think of are relics and candles from St. Ignatius or another chapel. Could also visit that weird-ass pagan shop on East Pike. Hm. What if it's cursed, though? Your shop's probably safer." Nat- "St. James Cathedral. It's n-next to SU. Hm. Sorry. Ashley says holy water didn't work like he'd hoped. So... candles, beads, uh, maybe a relic, whatever you can find. Um, if there's a library, especially one in the archbishop's office. Look for anything that, eh, looks magical? Symbology and stuff inside.
Also, uh, for the p--pagan shop, if you think you can tell the, uh, difference bet-tween something that is really hand-made and s-something that, uh, is more mass-produced... Stuff handmade with m-magic intent I think... Maybe it won't work, but it's more likely."

Micah was somewhat relieved by the skank stop, he'd been getting a little green around the gills for a second there. As punk as it was to throw your guts up at a concert, somehow he didn't think anyone would have been impressed.
He patted Nora on the shoulder friendfully, only to be jabbed in the palm with her spiky shirt. He shook his hand out to dissipate the temporary pain.Micah- "Hey, shit happens. We don't want Patti to burn out like Sid, she'd be coked up in a dumpster somewhere drinkin' fuckin' battery fluid. Nobody wants to see that. Maybe she'll punk out again later, yeah? So anyone you want to triviatize while the music is slow?"

Nora- "Thanks, mate. Er, where would we be if Patti went Vicious? Good point! ... Hm. I don't know. They're an intimidating lot."

Micah- "Come on, they're not so fuckin bad. Except maybe Lashonda or Luke, Basil or that other guy..."
Nora- "Or the fifteen foot bloke or plague lady or..."
"Alright I'll pick someone and we'll do this shit. What about the Emmett guy? He likes soft rock, he can't be too intimidating. Just don't mention anythin' about your parents or dreams an' shit."
Nora- "I suppose... Usually he asks the questions. It's high time he got a taste of his own medicine."
Micah walked over to the guy with a little of his own apprehension. He wouldn't analyse anyone off job, right?Micah- "Hey, How's it goin? I'm Micah and this is Nora, you're that counsellor dude from the fuckin twinkie tribe, right?"
Emmett- "That I am. I already know all the names, but I guess it isn't true the other way around. I'm Emmett."
Nora- "I believe you."

Ashley decides now is not time to give up, and besides this is pretend money. He decides to try to make it back from the short stack and play ball with this asswipe. "I'm still in." He reminds him, frowning.

"Thanks for the intel, Agent Nat. Richie's right, though. It'll be dangerous there. I may not come back in one piece. Or at all. Hey, but if I DO, will you make me hot chocolate then? Grande, extra whip, sprinkles. No soy. Ha. Haha. Sorry. It was a joke ..." It wasn't really. Nat- "I'm not a magical coffee leprechaun. I only know how t-to do it with, mm, electricity? And all that kind of stuff."
"For serious, though, let's expand our Magical Investigation Team. Rituals are better with numbers, I figure. You meet anybody in 403 with a ... I don't know. Super spiritual aura? Besides Luke, obviously. He's one hundred percent lone wolf."

Nat- "I don't s-see auras... I wish I did... You should just try to get tough fighters to go with you, y'know?"
Richie- "It ain't me, whitey, but maybe I'll go. Alex will have to figure out a way to entice me, haha."

((Jara- Gaming the poker that specifically was more work than I'd prefer to do until, maybe one more time later on. For now, the game proceeds "generically" ... ))
Ashley picked up some more money again and Kenny's fortune began to wane. On another tense hand, Ivan pulled in a haul without getting called. Kenny seemed to suspect it was a bluff... Kenny- "Dude. Seriously. What was that?"
Ivan- "Four tens."
Tyrone- "Bad form, Kenneth."
Kenny- "....Tch. Right."
Susie- "Why does it matter? Isn't it the point of the game?"
Kenny- "I guess, if you wanna play it that way. "
Monty- "It is the point, isn't it? You don't know what the other guy's got and everyone can play off that or get played by it."
Kenny- "..."
Ivan- "I shouldn't say, but really, that was four tens, bro."
Susie- "You don't have to explain yourself, Ivan."
Kenny- "Sure, fine. Let's move on."
Tyrone- "Hokay then..." Things chilled out, at least for a little while...

Micah- "No worries... So what else do you know apart from our fuckin' names? I mean, the whole bloody point is know if we're demons, an' they know their host's name trust me."
Emmett- "I guess it's a pretty serious agenda for a party, but I know what you mean. I helped Dr. Melange figure out as much as we could about the possessed that night, and it was frightening."
"So then we should do some fuckin' trivia, yeah?"
Emmett- "OK." Micah racked his brain for a tricky question to ask the counsellor dude that would catch him off guard. He grinned at the idea that popped into his drunken skull. Micah- "My question to you Emmett is, what are you most afraid of? Bar anything fuckin' supernatural...an' not twinkies! "
Emmett- "Easy enough. I spent a lot of time working with my fear of rejection and loneliness over the years. It's mostly not a problem now, but that's not a feeling you can ever completely forget."
Nora- "Said with a smile, it was."
"What do you wanna ask us? No Psychologin' shit okay?"
Emmett- "Same thing?"
Nora- "Snakes? Or giving honest answers to personal questions."

Ashley doesn't bother telling Kenny what a tool he was, though if he was intent on spoiling a good fun game, he was doing pretty well at it. He tried to avoid glaring at him and instead fixated on somewhere behind him. Or maybe to the side...No, it was kind of at him. He waits, and decides to bluff on his next turn. He didn't bluff often, nor did he suspect anything other than good luck from Kenny so far. "Tyrone, how is your arm doing?"

Emmett had to pause to cheer Patti. TMBG! Woo. Then Patti drank some water and went into her next song.Some people liked this, but from about two notes in, Kerry got a sour look on her face. Kerry- "Gad. Fuck this fucking song. Jesus christ."
Sharma- "Bhat did joo say?"
Kerry- "Nothing. Want to go get a drink again?"

Tyrone- "Jus' fine, Ashla. How's your everythan'?" Ashley couldn't seem to catch any good luck on deals or turns, but after a few rounds of rather bold bluff betting, he totally took down this pot.

Seth stalked the floor dragging Bryce, looking for awkward situations to thrust him into.
Bryce- "People are totally into these mandolin jams."
Seth- "Yeah.... Patti has weird taste. Reminds me of stuff my older cousin from Pennsylvania was into. He's like 35, tech support for a wireless router company. Isn't she in her fifties?"
Bryce- "You know you aren't supposed to talk about a lady's age, man. Anyway, no one wants to talk with us. Might as well go call it a night."
Seth- "Aw ya cute little introvert, that's our task tonight though! Gotta chat everyone up. Gotta know everyone here. Like for instance, what's her name?"
Seth gestured at a young lady skulking around the dancefloor, trying to find someone willing to dance to the bizarre mandolin jam.
Judy- "Come onnnnn, I'll be your best friend!"
Cathleen- "God, no, duh, ugh..."
Esi- "Hello, pretty lady. I believe you accepted an invitation to dance from me earlier tonight...?"
Cathleen- "Oh, uh, that I did..."
Judy- "Really?! Who's your best friend, Cee? It's Judy, that's who."
Cathleen- "What the heck is with people tonight?! Esi, you will get your contractually mandated groove on, OK?"
Esi- "Yay?" Your Judy was surprised by two homosexuals. Loses initiative.
Seth- "Hi! It was Judy, right? We haven't talked much yet. Have you met Bryce?"
Judy- "Yeah, he's great. Me and Bruce go way back."
Seth- "You must really love dancing, huh? You were really cutting a rug earlier. This stuff is probably kind of hard to dance to though, isn't it?"
Judy- "I wouldn't know, because no one wants to dance!"
Bryce- "Um, Seth would totally dance with you."
Seth- "Haha, I might have to take a rain check on that. So Judy, have you been getting to know everyone tonight?"
Judy- "What are you, my mom?"
Bryce- "He's the president."
Judy- "Whut"
Bryce- "The party, we're supposed to..."
Judy- "Sheesh. So that's for real, huh?"
Seth- "Well maybe this is a good start, Bryce, why don't you ask Judy a question?"
Bryce- "... What happened to your eyebrows?"
Judy- "What happened to your fat caboose, white boy?"
Bryce- "My what?"
Judy- "You heard me, bubbles."
Seth- "Eheh.. um, anyway, I don't think you two will be forgetting each other any time soon...!"
