Actually, yes, I would say Cyrus knows how to dance, although in a perhaps more rowdy way than the Lady is used to. He's seen nobles dance before, though, and he's doing his best. He is only slightly aware of what's going on with Bishop.
Cyrus is staring wistfully at the playing children when Blackbird asks him to dance.
He visibly blushes and stammers for a second. First, he turns and looks at the kids, scanning them, then he absent-mindedly looks at Kale, almost as if he's going…
Cyrus turns to look at Blackbird with sad eyes. "Is that what she thinks of me?" he wonders. "That I'll just take anythin' that's not nailed down?" Cyrus looks away, feeling a twinge of shame. "Guess I haven't rightly given her much reason to think …
Cyrus looks down at the surface of Haven indifferently. "I ain't never heard of a guild that weren't the grudge-holding type. We may want to stay clear of 'em."
"It's a big place," Cyrus thinks. "No way I'll run into her. She wouldn't even recogniz…
Cyrus stares at the intruder for a good, hard minute, then shrugs his shoulders, holsters his guns and says "Seems like a fair way to work off the debt ya' owe me fer boarding this here boat without permission. Name's Cyrus, but you can call me Capt…
As this new fella drops the two Imperials, the bottle is still arcing through the air towards Eli. Cyrus has his two pistols turned on him, and shoots the bottle as it hovers just over his head. Glass and whiskey splash into Eli's face, distracting …
Cyrus stumbles onto The Owl, half singing, half bellowing an old sky-pirate shanty. He's got a half drunk bottle in one hand and he pauses periodically to take big swigs of it. Something has been in the back of his mind all night, though: Eli didn't…
Captain Vance barks out "Unless you want an unceremonious burial at sky, move yer asses to The Owl!" as he draws both his guns and begins to lead the charge.
He's shooting his way across the catwalk, following Naomi's lead, when the whole ship lis…
Okay... So here goes:
1) Doing a thing.
2) Ex-Imperial
3) Tactics
4) Imperial War Ships
5) Naomi
6) Blackbird
7) Bonus Die
8) Bonus Die
9) Bonus Die
10) Bonus Die
Going for the 4 difficulty. I think that, between Naomi and Blackbird, we can fight …
Quick question: at the control tower, what can we do to make the lives of anyone chasing us difficult? Anything we can sabotage or turn off to mess with them? My thought is this: I want to basically throw as many monkey wrenches in their ability to …
Cool, okay. Cap is going to get rowdy.
Also, Rich: can I play it like this- 3 to defeat the guards, but with extra successes (4? 5?) can I do it non-lethally? Cyrus would prefer to not kill them, just incapacitate them and get them out of the way.
…
I'm in transit today, so I might have to post sporadically. I'll definitely be able to get some stuff on there in the next hour or so, then tonight, but in between it might be difficult.
"I always knew you would fail me..."
That damned voice rang in Cyrus' ears. "I worked so hard," he thought. "Worked my way up from nothin' to be where I was, and that no good richie, Hollas, who practically had his position handed to him on the day…
On the way here, Cyrus had both guns drawn, but he never had to fire them. The crew was working like a well-oiled machine, getting everyone through with minimal noise and minimal mess. Cyrus' key contribution was that he knows these ships like the b…
When some imperials round the corner, Cyrus reaches for his gun...
...but before he can draw Naomi is on them like lightning. Cyrus just stands back and nods approvingly.
"You know how to pick friends, Blackbird, I'll give ya' that."
After Naomi …
"Double the rate for two passengers, eh? So what's the catch? They wanted? Dangerous? Annoying? I always find that somethin' that seems too good to be true is, in point of facts, too good to be true!"
Clearly in no mood for much small talkin', Cyrus says, curtly, "She's fine, Tansy. Same condition as ever. So what's the job?
Cyrus' eyes dart around and he speaks.
Cyrus shrugs as he walks up to join Naomi at the front of the line.
"If Mary crosses us, we'll deal with her then, but I ain't about to leave someone in one of these here cells. No one deserves this."
What to we see as we press forward, GM?
Thanks for letting us know.
BTW, folks- this is my first PbP experience and I'm really enjoying it. I've kind of avoided PbP but this is actually a ton of fun.
