OOC Lounge and Y2K Readiness Room
You're in a glassed-in control booth overlooking a huge amphitheater of
(generator powered) computers and control desks. On the wall is a giant map of
North America studded with lines and dots representing power grids, routers,
phone nexuses, and micowave links. Huge TV screens show long lines at the mall,
grocery store shelves being emptied, and sign-carrying prophets shouting in
public places. But not up here. Down below, phones ring constantly, printers hum
and lights flash but this place is an island of (battery powered) warmth, calm
and contentment, walled away from the chaos beyond. Soft chairs and couches line
the walls. Over to one side is a large (battery powered) microwave and
refrigerator, with hot cocoa mix and bean dip stored below. On the wall is a
giant plain mechanical clock. Below it is a red (battery powered) LED, marking
down the inexorable slide to Y2K.
This room is intended as a place for OOC and other meta-conversation about the
game and as a place for new characters to be introduced to it; if you're not
feeling hospitable toward new players or guests, it's suggested that you not
hang out here, as they're likely to pop up at random.

Jack decides to respond to Lexi. "I was making French onion soup. That requires
a lot of sliced onions, so I hauled out a food processor. Several items I've
discovered are: the blades are very very sharp, the onions are very slippery,
it's very hard to see through tears induced by onions, and I shouldn't unload
sliced onions from the processor when my vision is blurred by tears."
Signe has disconnected.
Dante snuggles Lexi. "I'm working."
Dante says "Then I'm going to a party."
Jack says "So now I have my sliced onions and one slightly sliced finger, and
two bandages soaked through, but the bleeding's mostly stopped now."
Leona says "Ouch."
Jack says "Hi, Leona, I see you're a +newbie. Welcome to GarouMUSH."
Leona says "Hello. Not that it does me much good. :)"
Lexi hugs dante. "Yeow Jack...be careful."

Leona has had lottle to no luck so far.
Little Bear says "Yep."
Leona says "Apparently."
Little Bear says "Streets are deserted. So is Hong Kong."
Jack missed Der and Outlaw? Drat.
Little Bear says "Its like 6am there."
You say "6am is about when I head home to go to bed."
Jack boggles at +who. "Normally there's at least one person idling out of the

You walk into the Rat and Raven.
Rat and Raven Main Room(#2828RJM)
A relaxed atmosphere characterizes this room: less rowdy than a bar, less formal
than a restaurant, the pub is filled with a friendly hubbub that spills out from
tables and the bar itself. Several tables are scattered across the floor, each
with room enough for two or three people at a time to walk between them. The
tables are a dark wood, kept clean by the waitresses bustling around to accept
orders. The patrons range from low twenties to their mid-fifties, or
thereabouts, both male and female. Paintings decorate the wall, one each of the
'mascots' of the bar, a rat to the left of the door, a raven to the right, both
depicted with a nobility not commonly offered to, at least, the rat. The other
paintings include a three-masted ship, sails spread to the wind, that matches
the tiny ship in a bottle behind the bar.
Obvious exits:
STreet
@doing Temporarily available for RP. @page_OK
Leona comes through the door, between the paintings of the rat and the raven.
Leona has arrived.
ex leona
Short and somewhat overweight, this girl does not look like she spends a great
deal of time outside. Shoulder-length jet-black hair, straight as an arrow,
surrounds a pale face and sends tendrils down to hang in dark brown eyes and get
tangled in thick lashes. A mischievous smile completes the look, when she's
smiling; more often her lips are turned down in a pout or draw a straight and
thoughtful line across her face.
Leona wears a pair of black jeans and a Seattle Mariners sweatshirt pulled over
a white turtleneck. Tall platform boots in the latest style complete the outfit.
Her face is lightly made up, just enough to give some color to her pale cheeks
and enhance the dark eyes. Judging by the rings and bracelets she wears, she
would seem to have a penchant for silver-tone jewelry.

You paged the room with 'Hello there.'.
From afar, Leona grins. You up for RP? Sorry, i may be a bit slow.
Long distance to the room: Roger is.
From afar, Leona 'k.
Roger is sitting at the bar, his usual seat if you knew his habits at all, and
is sitting infront of two glasses filled with odd looking liquors. He just sits
there, waiting, staring point to point around the room...
Backpack slung over one shoulder. Leona stalks into the Rat and Raven scowling
to herself. She shrugs the backpack back over one shoulder and glances quickly
around the room, almost as if searching for someone.
Roger looks directly at the eyes of the newly arrived a bit, with an almost
invasive seeking stare. After a moment of this he returns to gaze at the door.
Information for Leona:
Leona is connected.
Location: Rat and Raven Main Room(#2828RJM)

Race: Garou Sex: female
Breed: Homid Auspice: Theurge
Tribe: Unknown Rank: 0 (Cub)
Pack: What's a pack? Sept: What's a sept?
Position: Not Set
Info: Only 14 and already she has the most interesting life on her
block. A freshman at Martin Luther King Jr, High School, Leona has managed to
acquire a small but loyal following and about as many staunch enemies. She's a
normal kid and that fact more than anything else drives her crazy. Being normal
is boring, and being bored is bad....
Leona flinches at the stare, but the scowl doesn't fade. before she can respond,
though, a waitress bustles up to her, and a discussion ensues that is polite at
first and quickly grows heated. The waitress clearly thinks Leona came in the
wrong door, as she's obviously way too young to be frequenting a place like
this. After a few minutes, the girl snaps out, "I'm not here to drink your
damned liquor, all right? Get out of my face!"
Roger just watches the exchange with a distant non-involved expression, until
the girl's outburst, which is when a slight smile crooks it's way from the man
at the bar's mouth. The man sitting alone at the bar then simple nods his head
and pushes away the smile in favor of his passive expression.
The waitress doesn't budge. "I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave, young lady.
The person you're looking for is not here, and we don't serve underage
drinkers." She then turns around and makes a signal to the back, and a good-
sized man in a short and tie emerges from the back.
Roger turns to the bartender and exchanges a few silent words with him. Roger
then calls to the larger man walking towards the girl. "Don't worry about her
man, she's with me... I'll watch her."
NEW CHARACTER: WIZARD TO CONTACT:
Erik Xena
Maxime Maul
Desiree Xena
Ryan Lysander
Joey Tskilegwa
Carson Maul
Leona Maul
Feel free to give these players advice on fitting into the game, and be sure to
keep an eye out for them if they need help. If you run into problems with them,
or are really impressed with them, be sure to send +mail to the wizard listed as
a contact for them.
Leona, clearly about to let the waitress have it in spades, stops short and
blinks at Roger, staring uncomprehendingly at him. The large man walks up to the
waitress, exchanges a few short words with her, and the waitress casts a sharp
glare at Leona and turns her back on her. Freed, Leona walks over to Roger, and
only when the waitress has her back turned does Leona stick her tongue out at
the woman.
Roger gives the girl a stern direct look and shakes his head. "She deserves more
respect then that... She's my friend and because she's my friend she will not
complain about you being here for my sake. Now, I don't know you... and I'm at a
loss as to why I interceeded in your problem. Please enlighten me."
You paged the room with 'Elsie? I don't think you understand exactly what I
mean. What I'm trying to say is, don't assume control over a situation you walk
into that already has someone else there... until you ask those involved if
it's ok. Unless of course you eventually become a GM. But that's a different
case altogether.'.
Leona pages: Well, I apologize, then. You can tell me to fuck off. I was trying
to create a reason why a 14 year old would be in a pub.
You paged the room with 'Don't worry about it. :)'.
From afar, Leona idles.
You paged the room with 'Leona, I was not trying to insult you or make you
uncomfortable... If I did I apologize. I don't have a problem with what you did
at all, only that you did it without letting me know first.'.
Leona pages: Well then, I apologize. Maybe coming back here was a big fat
fucking mistake, if that's the way people have become. DO you want to finish
this scene out?
You paged the room with 'I was enjoying the RP, so Yes, I want to finish... I
didn't want to stop.'.
Leona pages: Fine. Just ignore what I said about Elsie, then.
You paged the room with 'Not a problem. Again I sincerly apologize if I've
offended you.'.
You paged the room with 'I think it's your pose.'.
Leona eyes Roger for a long moment. Long, long moment. "Uh....I dunno. I was
hoping you could tell me." She crosses her arms, to all appearances ignoring the
admonishment.
Leona pages: SOrry for idle, my NEw Year's plans just fell though and I'm in the
midle of a mess of phone calls making alternates.
Roger just shrugs and shakes his head slightly, letting a smile twist his lips.
"Just a random act of kindness then? I can deal with that... You are looking for
someone it seems... I'm assuming that the person you are looking for, isn't me?"
You paged the room with 'No problem. Get that taken care of first if you need
to, just don't forget me. :)'.
"My dad," Leona says shortly, chewing on her lip. She leans against the polished
wood of the bar, eyeing you thoughtfully. "Can't find my keys," she adds
obliquely. "Why?"
From afar, Vicki waves.
You paged Vicki with 'Hey there...'.
Vicki pages: How goes? Actually finding RP, I see. :>
Roger just shakes his head at this. "You seem, familiar is all. Nothing too
important. And if you have to look for your father in a place like this... are
you sure you really want to find him at all?"
You paged Vicki with 'Rp found me actually. :)'.
You paged Vicki with 'I wonder if we could resolve this whole Vicki/Roger thing
anytime in the near future? Hrm... :)'.
Now Leona seems interested, and she lets a small smile creep across her face. "I
mean, I have to find my dad if I want to get in the house." A small shrug
suggests she doesn't care too much about the rest of it. "But you said I look
familiar? From where? I haven't been here very long," she admits.
Vicki pages: Possibly. Only real problem, is that Vicki trusts you about as far
as she can throw you. :> Scary thing is, she trusts Tibor more then she trusts
you IC. And Tibor is the sabbat. :)
You paged Vicki with 'If she asked nicly... I'm sure Roger would let her throw
him. :)'.
From afar, Vicki chuckles. That would be an intresting intresting attempt to
watch.
Roger tilts his head to the side a bit and lets the smile vanish once again.
"I've never seen you before... but you are still familar. Something about you
strikes me as standing out among the rest of the people of St. Claire... Would
you know what that is?"
A small blush colors the girl's cheeks. "Other than charm and sparkling wit? I
don't know what you're talking about, though I'm flattered that you think I
stand out."
Roger continues his straight expressionless look. "Sparkling wit and charm? The
same kind you used on the waitress as you came in?", with that the smile returns
to his face.
Leona puts both elbows on the bar, turning to watch the bartender work. "No, the
kind I save for people when I care what they think."
Roger nods and 'ahs'. "I see... Well, do you see your father in the crowd then
little girl?"
THe smile fades, and Leona surveys the crowd for a minute or two. "No," she
finally admits. "Not now that I have a chance to look."
Roger nods at this and flashs a look to the bar itself. "Well, since you have no
where to go... You hungry?"
"Yeah, some," Leona replies, then slips her pack off her shoulder and goes
digging into it. After a moment, she produces a purse and peeks into it.
Roger shakes his head. "You want something to eat then? A burger perhaps? Salad?
This isn't only a bar, it's also a great resturant."
After a moment of digging, Leona manages to produce three or so rather crumpled
dollar bills. "I don't have much money. Maybe I'll just wait."
Roger again shakes his head. "Pretty... not too bright though." He says calmly.
"I'm offering to get you something... would you like something to eat?"
Leona raises an eyebrow. "Not too bright, eh?" A small, mischievous smile creeps
across her face. "If you're offering, then...just a plate of fries, thanks."
Roger nods and chuckles. "Nope, not at all." He then turns to a passing waitress
and signals her over. "A large plate of fries please, and a cajun bacon burger
for myself. Thanks hun." With that she smiles says 'No problem' and heads off to
put in the order.

Leona watches her go, then turns back to you. "You must spend a lot of time
here."
From afar, Leona needs to close down here. My fiance gtes off work in five
minutes and we're going for dinner.
Leona pages: Not immediately, but I need to start closing the scene down.
You paged the room with 'Alrighty.'.
Roger waits a moment silently before the food is brought out. "Well now... enjoy
your food, I made sure you would be well looked after while you are here when
you came in, so don't worry about being harrassed. Just don't harass anyone
else, or I'll have words for you no matter where you may go. Understand?"
A small smile crosses Leona's face. "I do indeed. I no longer have a reason to.
Thank you."
Roger returns her gaze with a warm, actually friendly, smile and nods. "Good...
If you live in this area, I'm sure we will meet again little girl. But for now,
I must be going... have a good night, and enjoy the fries, and the burger if
you're still hungry." With that he stands and walks away from the bar towards
the door to leave.
Leona 's eyes narrow, and she does not answer. Without a word, she turns back to
the bar and goes back to digging in her purse.
Leona pages: Thanks for the RP, and I apologize for the incident earlier.
Leona pages: Gotta go, though. Thanks!
Leona has disconnected.
You paged Vicki with 'Howya doin'?'.

Mr. Gone returns, or something like that.

Adele plays Uno and reads news, determinedly.
Adam says "Goner!"
Mr. Gone is back @work, prepping for Y2-nothing. :P
Julie is lurking about, really needing to go to the store and get fixings for
dinner. "I need bread, and corned beef. Corned Beef Hash isn't any good without
toast, or at least bread and butter."
Adele is still at work, not able to go home for two hours.
Little Bear takes off. Can't go home for 4 more hours.

Desiree has two dogs and two cats. :>
Desiree cackles?
Desiree gives Dante her cat. He's big and fluffy and very fat. ;)
Dante has one too many cats already.
Desiree twitches. People upstairs are blasting rap music. Ugh. Get it away.
Mr. Gone says "That would be... one cat, Dante? :)"
Dante says "Exactly. My house is no place for one of the feline persuasion."
Mr. Gone says "Why do you say 'rap' and 'music'? You give it too much credit."
Desiree laughs! I don't know.
Desiree shrugs. People think it's music? I don't think it is. But this kid
upstairs is blasting the damn thing and it's so annoying. Grr.
Dante thanks God that someone was silly enough to give his wife a mortgage so he
doesn't have to deal with living in an apartment. "My last apartment was shared
with a Chinese national. I think he was a spy."
Desiree lives in a two-level condo complex, yaay.
Dante watches Des just exude middle class.
Desiree exudes middle class quite well, in fact.
Dante only has a middle class facade.
Desiree snickers. Do you?
Dante does. "We have a house, in a small town, with a yard, a fence, a car and a
minivan!"
Desiree says "Lucky."
Desiree used to live in a house before her parents got divorced.
Dante eyes his bills. "I wouldn't neccessarily call it 'luck'."
Desiree has disconnected.
Desiree has connected.
Desiree grrr.
Dante, oddly enough, lived in a house before his folks split up, and then lived

Mr. Gone wanders off to hack the Network operations Center's machines, since
they don't have a freaking clue as to handle the mega-bazillion dollar UNIX
machines they "control". Back soonish.
Mr. Gone slumps idle.
Desiree laughs.
Dante says "Then I grew up, went to college, lived in a dorm, then in a series
of apartments and then met a woman and moved into her house. :)"
Desiree sighs loudly and turns the TV off. No evil teenybopper bands. :P
Dante says "Des, will you take it well when we tell you things like 'you'll
understand when you get older?'."
Desiree ohmyGOD. Bastard Boys are attempting to rap. Shit, this is WORSE.
Desiree nods. Yeah. ;)
Dante says "Oh good. Because Spider takes it very poorly. :)"
Desiree laughs.
Dante says "Spider's like a big ball of pure angst."
Desiree is like that when she has her period. ;)
Dante will just blame it on the phase of the moon or something. :)
Desiree laughs.
Desiree says "7 and a half hours for NYE. Woo."
Mr. Gone returns.
Adele says "1.5 hours for staying at work!"
Adam flees.
Adam has disconnected.
Mr. Gone finds a HUGE stash of party food in the company fridge marked "For New
Year's". Apparently other people will be coming in tonight.
Dante says "No, it's all for you."
Dante debates trying to ditch this party to play Planescape.
Desiree says "Ditch! Ditch! ;>"
Dante can't. "It's my wife's friends. They've all been very nice to us. Now if
it were relatives, maybe I could..."
Dante flees now. "Night, all. See you next year!"
Dante goes home.
