[QUOTE="kelots, post: 9088036, member: 7036799"] In other news, I'm a little stumped on how to react to this interaction: One of my players, Mason, had evidence planted in his property by Kell which was uncovered in the Audit. He was picked as he also had the most dodgy record across the constables (stealing wands, pushing for deals with kell, making friends with Cippiano, planting evidence for Cippiano to get a lead on the dragonborn brothers etc, killing one of the dragonborn brothers with a knife in the back on a busy street etc.) He got upset at the Audit but managed to talk his way out of it with the help of his team, but they were officially On Thin Ice. Fast forward to the end of the session, Mason's player wanted to crash IRL so went back to HQ by himself, I included the a hint that Saxbys house had been robbed as a lead for them to possibly investigate. He then got really excited, and did the following: 1) he skipped through the office, singing "i'm walking on sunshine" 2) he made two coffees and walked to Saxby's office, kicking the door in unannounced 3) he drunk both coffees back to back (referencing a earlier interaction between the two) 4) he laughed and shouted "HEY SAXBY I HEARD YOUR HOUSE GOT BROKEN INTO, THAT SUCKS DOESN'T IT" 5) he then skipped out of the room singing walkin on sunshine again I described her turning beet red, face a mask of rage and that her grip on the edge of the table was beginning to splinter wood as he got up and left before she could shout, and then we paused that er... scene there and switched to wrap up what the rest were doing. Me and the rest of the players were pretty shocked and talked OOC asking wtf the player was doing. He seemed confused at our reaction expecting everyone to find it hilarious and said he was playing it like some characters from brooklyn 99 (holt/wunch).... Another player pointed out they're peers he just went to her two up boss and mocked her for being robbed. He obviously saw it as payback for the evidence plan in his home... but as other players in his party pointed out she was just doing her job following up on that investigation (which is still ongoing). I'm honestly stuck on how to react here... would Saxby just fire him or bust him down to an office worker? Seems like an un-fun but probable real world repercussion for something like that, but effectively the player would be out of the squad and it'd be like he died. The wording he used... she's going to suspect he's the person who robbed them now right? Do I put them in for interrogation/official questioning for all the stuff they already talked their way out of? Basically trying to think how I penalise/react to this player for his behavior IC without the rest of the party (who were OOC shouting "DUDE NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING" and IC on the other side of the city so couldn't stop him) being impacted.
