[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4114869, member: 3087"] [sblock=OOC: Stealth]Since this basically involves slipping past someone who is sitting right there looking around I'd assess some sort of penalty. Frankly, I think this borders on the edge of really really difficult, like a -4 or a -5. Conveniently your left most dice are an 8 and a 9; freeing me from having to think about how hard it would be (since even at -5 you'd have 2 successes).[/sblock] The man rings up his purchases. [B]Diego [/B]crouches lower and slips out of the far aisle and slides over and behind the counter. The girl stands up on her stool, "Hey! Your receipt!" "Thanks doll" [B]Diego [/B]scuttles along the behind the counter, nimbly slipping past the girl as she tilts forward on her stool to give the man his receipt. The back room is cavernous and poorly lit. A rattly locker sits in one corner, several names are written on it. Liv is the only one that could belong to a female. There is a fire exit partially covered by a bunch of white comic book storage boxes. [B]Diego [/B]leans against the wall nearby waiting. A few minutes later he hears the sounds of the girl, Liv presumably, locking up the front door and the cash register. She comes in through the curtain, a few minutes later, a fat stack of comic books clutched in her hands. She looks up at [B]Diego[/B], startled. [B]Diego [/B]tries to reach down to pull something up, but he doesn't have to. It's already there, sitting under the skin, ready to bubble forth. The girl blanches in fear but [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1531499/]holds her ground.[/url] Diego feels something inside of him turn nasty. It wants very badly to do horrible things to this girl. It's like a second pair of eyes open inside of his and he shows her [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1531502/]his true self[/url]. The girl hits the cardboard boxes in front of the fire escape at a dead sprint comics scattering in her wake. The fire alarm goes off, but the batteries are mostly dead, instead of a deafening ring a muted wail fills the air. [B]Diego [/B]can hear her on the metal stairs outside, she's lost her feet, tumbling head over heels down the iron. [B]Diego [/B]reaches the doorway in time to see [B]Gorilla[/B], hauling the girl up to her feet by her sweatshirt. [COLOR=Yellow]Last chance to get smart.[/COLOR] The girl stares wide eyed at him for a instant. Then she's caught sight of [B]Diego [/B]again and she's thrashing free of the sweat shirt in a blind panic. As soon as she's squirmed free, she bolts down the alley and across the street, and into a brightly lite doorway filled with beads. [COLOR=Red]Girlz![/COLOR] blares the neon sign above the door. [B]Gorilla [/B]tosses the sweat shirt away. [COLOR=Yellow]Aces.[/COLOR] The simian Nosferatu grins at Diego. [sblock=OOC Willpower points and other things] It was fine that you pushed forward a bit. It gave me an idea of what it was you wanted to do. Easier for me that way. As I said I don't normally spend Willpower points for people, but since you'll regain one tomorrow night (and you haven't spent any on the third night anyway).[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
