[QUOTE="Graf, post: 3991461, member: 3087"] [sblock=OOC] The events that follow (in the blocks for Archer and Beth) unfold over about 8-10 minutes or "real" time. I've arbitrarily decided that means "every PC posts at least once". Until everyone has posted once Nice's phone conversation is not done. [/sblock] [sblock=Archer]As you wipe the blood from your face you have a chance to "tune in" to Nice's conversation. You focus and manage to [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1460702/]overhear most of it[/url]. [INDENT]Nice: [COLOR=Red]What do you mean it's missing[/COLOR]?

Suddenlly she's having a full on [B]out-of-body-experience[/B]. She's standing where the man with the neck wound (Archer) is standing. She sees what he sees, feels him rubbing his throat. His hearing is all weird, and so is hers. She can see people around her speaking, but their voices sound distorted. It's like her hearing is a radio and somebody else has control of the dial. After a moment the person with the dial "finds the radio station" they're looking for. And she hears the conversations above, about as clearly as if she were Nice, and on the phone. She also hears the conversation, of the PCs as well (though from Archer's standpoint). It's like she's riding in a car, Nice's conversation is the "radio" and the PC's conversation is the conversation of the passengers. ig, How Beth reacts, if she reacts at all, is up to you. She may be stunned, OR her brain may go into overdrive and she may multitask perfectly (i.e. listen and speak in the conversation normally without giving anything away.). Whatever you think works for you. Beth has basically developed Auspex *. Though she make lack fine control for a while.
