Talk:An Taniwan

AN's in-Character Notes

From Session 1

• Remember to get more Oyster cards bought by random people. Avoid overusing clients at the bar in case some analyst with too much time decides to connect the dots.
• Figure out why the Joint Intelligence Police Military Task Force is involved in Technostuff. Besides the obvious part where they control everything.
• The hell is SCEPTER?
• Woman in suit saw me in the tube station, probably a mage based on how she protected herself form the sewer animals. Get info on her in case she becomes a recurring problem.
• Give Naga some treats. She did good today.
• Check on those two guys from the utility tunnels.
• Supply the wombles with humanitarian supplies. Also, take a shot every time you have to combine the word wombles with a serious geopolitical term like "humanitarian" "guerilla" and "terrorist".
• What do they even EAT?
• Buy Elizabeth some history books, also absinthe to down with them. Junkie.
• Get a source for opium. Who smokes actual opium anymore, though?
• Update Elizabeth's wardrobe, grooming habits and diet. Mostly the diet. Jesus she's thin.
• Send her to some community college courses for new immigrants? Oh gods, she doesn't even have ID.
• Get her ID. Maybe falsify in... no. Fuck it, I'll ask one of the VAs.
• I guess she can sleep in Boas' basement since it's only storage and our cellars are walled off. I'll take her to IKEA and let her pick out furniture she likes.
• ...remember to set ground rules. Like no smoking in her bedroom.

Goals

• Get Elizabeth settled in.
• Get contacts in the police.
• Get info on Techno activities in the city, given they've gone on the offensive for some reason.

From Session 2

• Oh my good gods Misaka is adorable. If I ever get to open that cat cafe I'm hiring her.
• David, relax on the gas. If I had eaten breakfast this morning, I would have emptied my stomach.
• Holy crap I just saw a huge plane crash.
• Space plane. Gosh this sounds silly. Who in the world decided the future should look so stupid?
• Holy crap this entire thing is like... whoa. I know what it's like to fly a space plane.
• Aliens! I knew it was aliens ever since just now.
• Slightly more sober. Find alternative drug for visions other than LSD, it lasts too strong and hits too hard.
• Naga likes to snuggle up to Ferne and Misaka. Good signs. I like them already.
• I should learn how to fly a helicopter. They look cool.
• Though I should learn how to drive first. David was happy to be treated to lunch bit I think chauffeuring me everywhere is going to be a strain on him.
• ...that Misaka girl sure can eat. Her plate was piled higher than David's, and he weighs easily twice as much as her. Fernande takes care of herself, surprisingly.
• All this has taught me to wear a raincoat and always carry an umbrella.
• Reporters work for the Techncracy! Why am I not surprised?
• ...ouch. That looked like a nasty spill. Clumsiest Technocrat.
• Ah, shifty car dealers, where would I be without you (if I drove a car)?
• Get Ferne a date! Ideally a guy date, although we'll see what her type is.
• Mmm. So the storms and flooding are because of damage to London's spirit world. Better get busy.

Goals

• Get Elizabeth settled in. Done! Now we need to buy her clothes and furniture.
• Get contacts in the police.
• Get info on Techno activities in the city, given they've gone on the offensive for some reason.
• Talk to the wombles about alien incursions and how they're doing in the war effort. (Also, take a shot! :3 )
• Think about opening a cat cafe. That way I can offer Misaka a job at the cat cafe.

From Session 3

• Hawsie has good taste in bikes and bad taste in bike-driving weather.
• Does David like Hawsie? If she's still single when he's a bit older, maybe I can set them up. It could be cute and he prolly needs a mature partner to keep his shit in check.
• Ughn. Rainy weather, endless stretch. The M4 looks the same all the way to Cardiff. So boring.
• ...oh dear, minor accident. Boy trying to get a ride with us, I'll check to see if he's trouble.
• Sketchy lad, but we should probably take him ab- WEREWOLF.
• WEREWOLF.
• CYBORG WEREWOLF.
• VAMPIRE CYBORG WEREWOLF ON FIRE AND TRYING TO KILL US.
• Oh god my car!
• Oh gods all my MDMA!
• Oh god Hawsie stabbed it in the face.
• Ruuuuuuuuuuunnnnnn.
• Oh gods the Technos are sending gunships to blow it up.
• And they're not winning.
• ...ughn acid flashback, everything's so colorful again.
• This Peter boy seems nice but he's also literally a font of incredible magical power and all my poking around his past show he's in love with a very sketchy possibly-mage named Serena.
• Seriously, self denial? Gross.
• Calmed down, going to Avesbury after Hawsie made my car look like crap.
• I feel bad for messing with the Christians, but Christ am I tired of hearing people badmouth Naga just because she's a snake! So mean!
• Aww... Paul Peter (oops, spelling error) and Naga get along. So cute.
• We have the herbs and a belly full of the local lager. Time to head home, and get a stronger drink and maybe sort out this business with Paul by morning.

Goals

• Deal with Peter's weird fiancee who's kept him as a perfect virginal power well. Investigate, locate, assess. She's prolly not the type to talk over drinks but hopefully she's not going to sacrifice him on an altar made of onyx and human skulls.
• Get Elizabeth settled in. Done! Now we need to buy her clothes and furniture.
• Get contacts in the police.
• Get info on Techno activities in the city, given they've gone on the offensive for some reason.
• Talk to the wombles about alien incursions and how they're doing in the war effort. (Also, take a shot! :3 )
• Think about opening a cat cafe. That way I can offer Misaka a job at the cat cafe.

From Session 4

• Oooh, house call from Ferne. I don't think I've ever been to Ferne's before.
• Saw a cute guy get on behind me at Bethnal Green. I think he lives in my area...
• Whoa, she lives in a fancy area.
• ...in a fancy house.
• Awww, Misaka's in a maid outfit. This is adorable.
• Pretty woman just stumbled in? Well that's not suspicious at all (sarcasm in case someone else is reading this)! I wonder if Ferne's intentionally surrounding herself with attractive girls or not.
• Ghouls. Bad news. She's not gribbly and covered in tentacles, so she's at least not one of that guy's.
• Awfully flirty with Misaka, aren't you? I need to touch base with her sooner before this city eats her up!
• ...ehe. So they kissed? I have to admit that's kind of funny to imagine.
• Oooh. I've heard about these classy ladies-only clubs. I should get in sometime and bring David along to tease him and show him off to the rich old ladies.
  • Kidding.
    • Mostly.
• Another hot one? A vamp, to be sure. Also a massasa. Masassa?
  • Ask Hermetics how to spell that.
• Talk talk talk talk talk. They're being awfully high brow. I almost wish I studies studied something cool like art history or philosophy to be able to talk with them instead of sitting here looking really pretty.
  • Sometimes I wish I'd finished law school, too.
• Okay! So she's a 'good' vampire? A parasite instead of a predator, anyway. Works for me.
• Also, remember to take notes on names. You got sloppy, An.
  • NAGA, don't vandalize my personal journal!
    • Vandalism is ruining nice things.

Goals

• Do whatever favor the vamp lady wants us to do.
• Deal with Peter's weird fiancee who's kept him as a perfect virginal power well. Investigate, locate, assess. She's prolly not the type to talk over drinks but hopefully she's not going to sacrifice him on an altar made of onyx and human skulls.
• Get Elizabeth settled in. Done! Now we need to buy her clothes and furniture.
• Get contacts in the police.
• *PRIORITY INCREASE* Think about opening a cat cafe. That way I can offer Misaka a job at the cat cafe. *PRIORITY INCREASE*
• Get info on Techno activities in the city, given they've gone on the offensive for some reason.
• Talk to the wombles about alien incursions and how they're doing in the war effort. (Also, take a shot! :3 )

From Session 5

• These fancy auctions are kinda nice. The air smells a little mouldy, but blame that on all the fancy old books around.
• Ooooh, masquerades! It's just like when I was in Venice.
• The old man had quite a collection, lots of eras and styles. Are we sure he wasn't an immortal?
  • Quickly Naga, check the corpse to see if it was beheaded or not.
    • No.
• Interesting group too.
  • The dandy is something, even if all I can see are his eyes and jaw. He reeks faintly of booze and his aura feels fuzzy, but I could say the same of my old bunny slippers and I still keep those.
  • Gothloli is adorable! Her manservant looks like he ate a trash compactor though... stay away.
  • One of them looks a little out of time. On edge. Like he's painfully aware of his own mortality.
• Bought a hookah. So fancy! Might be an excuse to experiment with tobacco again.
• Oooh, I'm being flirted with. And who says I'm too old to have young men after me, hm?
  • Your parents, for one.
    • Naga!
• Anyway I have a party invitation. Seance of some kind. Might bring Liz! She loves seances and being sloshed and she could use some exposure to the modern party scene.
  • Mrghn, that means getting her into clothes, though. Oh well, could be fun!
• Auctions are boring. I had more fun picking my outfit and doing my disguise earlier.
• Whelp, zombies. Time for a drink.
• Okay, so while Ferne and Misaka deal with this curse business, I'll pour myself a drink.
  • The dandy flirted with me some more. Oooh, and a party. This'll be fun.
• Naga did well today. Remember to give her good treats when we get home.
  • Also, remember that she can bite through someone's leg if she has the right drink. Drunk rage is scary when snakes do it.
  • The dandy (who as it turns out is royalty of some descent!) thanked me for saving him from the twitchy man out of time who didn't want to be killed by the curse (probably playing right into it given how these things work out).
• Guess I was right about Gothloli! Her servant is literally some sort of extra-large Terminator.
• Well, we have everything we need. Time to go before someone else flips out.

Goals

• Do whatever favor the vamp lady wants us to do. Done!
• Attend that party with that mysterious dandy I saved from being sacrificed to sate an evil curse (are there even good curses?).
• Deal with Peter's weird fiancee who's kept him as a perfect virginal power well. Investigate, locate, assess. She's prolly not the type to talk over drinks but hopefully she's not going to sacrifice him on an altar made of onyx and human skulls.
• Get Elizabeth her furniture.
• Get contacts in the police.
• Think about opening a cat cafe. That way I can offer Misaka a job at the cat cafe.
• Get info on Techno activities in the city, given they've gone on the offensive for some reason.
• Talk to the wombles about alien incursions and how they're doing in the war effort. (Also, take a shot! :3 )

Loot

Engraved Horn

The engraved horn of some kind of alien beast. It is set with gold, platinum and other things. Long and thin it could be used as a walking stick. It is surrounded by a magical field.

Platinum Hookah

A decorative but well used Hookah of great beauty. It seems enchanted with life magic, and woven around with images of dancing men and women amid flames.
