Re: Interpreting the Real World for IN
@tHEhERETIC: You have a point with overlooking the obvious... there should be a Saminga possibility in there. Also, Azel's point about the sorcerors should not be neglected. How about the following as a plot line-up (I've added names that would fit, for flavour):

Re: Interpreting the Real World for IN
I know, double post - but it was slightly too long to put everything in one.
@ISNorden: Yeah, I heard of that even here on the other side of the pond... Kobal definitely had a hand in that one, it certainly made me chortle (and then feel slightly guilty) when I heard it - sounds very much like a joint venture... Although, perhaps it was not actually by, but aimed at Nybbas? Thinking about it, Nybbas likes painting happy-fairy-disney pictures (or similar equivalents), making people enrapt and stopping them from thinking too much. Putting porn on would certainly disturb that picture as much as it would disturb Christopher. Maybe it was an angel of Janus having a go? Actually, I can just see an Angel of Christopher sitting in an angel bar somewhere in NY, shaking his head, downing one beer after another... Angel 1: "Gimme another!" Angel 2: "Jeez, what's up man? Since when do you Children guys hit the booze?" Angel 1: "How was I supposed to know?! I just asked if he could give us a hand..." Angel 2: "Who, what?" Angel 1: "I just told him, hack into their servers, make the whole shiny thing crack up a bit while we move in and scrub their drives, and what does he go and do..? He only friggin goes and..." (downs an entire beer in one chug) Angel 2: "Ok, whatever you're talking about, I think you need more than a beer - hey, keep, give us a shot of your best stuff, would ya?" Angel 1 (looking up): "Shot... yeah... now that's an idea..." (gets up) Angel 2: "Hey, you may wanna..." Angel 1 (serenely calm): "No, I see clearly now... this is about content... he wants explicit content? I'll give him explicit content..." (vanishes in a Song of Celestial Motion) *Newsflash* Gruesome murder: The body of a vagrant was found in the Hudson river this morning, having been shot several times, stabbed and subsequently drowned while being simultaneously beaten to death with a copy of the Motion Picture Association of America film rating guidelines. Reacting to an anonymous tip, the police retrieved the body at around 5 o'clock, before media representatives could arrive on-scene. The police spokesperson announced that no pictures would be released, saying "we should think about the children watching the early morning newscasts, and think this is for the best." |

Heh heh heh...I can easily see the following Wordbound involved in the prank:
All in all, the whole event sounds like a good hook for players in a light-hearted campaign with high contrast--whether the GM casts Heaven or Hell as the "good guys".

Re: Interpreting the Real World for IN
This is either a Kobalite's plot in action, or else the beginnings of a potential Dark Humor Tether:
PORT RICHEY -- Deputies said a man walked into a bar and ordered a beer, then vanished for about a half-hour so he could rob a bank. John Robin Whittle, 52, then returned to the bar and finished his beer, deputies said. Full story here: http://www.baynews9.com/article/news...CukGM.facebook

Re: Interpreting the Real World for IN
This has to be a celestial who hasn't gotten the hang of this Role business yet.
Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop, 30, was arrested Thursday afternoon on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and a violation of probation in Madison, Wisc. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1190410.html

Re: Interpreting the Real World for IN
Either a Creationer on the brink of Falling, or a servitor of Drugs (considering the charges this weirdo faced); I'm betting on a Djinn of Drugs who took one hit too many. Either way, Kobal is probably having a field day: "Hey, guys...a wacky news story from Madison's real police blotter, not the Onion this time!"

Re: Interpreting the Real World for IN
One other possibility -- a Servitor of Dark Humor who lost a bet Downstairs. "I have to call myself what?"

Re: Interpreting the Real World for IN
Yup, I agree with Rocket Man; if this guy's a demon, then there's probably a lesson to be learned... Something like "don't use a third-rate geas to get hold of a new role. No. Really. Don't."
But with that name, I think he's an angel of Creation all right. And maybe when he said to the cops that he would "get even" he was in fact talking to the Shedite inhabiting the cop who busted him... The big question is: what choir is this guy? |
