So as is known, borrowing HEAVILY from the FF7 storyline.
Why: it is a good story, and I think it'd be fun to play in tabletop format.
So last week was the whole thing where Cloud gathers stuff for a girl's outfit to get into Corneo's place.
This is how it played out:
Using Aeris as a plot device, she suggests going to the Honey Bee Hive (local burlesque house) as Corneo buys flowers for the girls there all the time and brings them by. Dixit in particular has a good layout of the place.
The heroes get past the bouncer with a pretty good story, meet up with Dixit, and she tells them Corneo's mother is forcing him to get married. Corneo has been bringing in 3 groups of girls every week from the club (who is always accompanied by protection) to scope out potential wives.
They go to the dress maker and find out he is drowning his sorrows as he has not gotten job satisfaction in a long while
Eventually they convince him that making a dress for a man would be a challenge.
The target of these shenanigans always wears cologne, so to complete the ensemble, they need to pick up a wig (from Big Bro) and get a bath/good smelling lotion from Jorge's Spa.
Big Bro will only give up his wig if someone challenges him. The ronso challenged him to a climbing contest and totally kicked his butt.
Jorge would love to give out his new lotion, but the pharmacist (super flirtatious woman) stole it and the recipe.
The suave guy distracts the pharmacist, while the sneaky viera breaks into the office to steal the recipe.
With the ensemble complete, the party go to Corneo's, where the guard leads the women up to the party room and convinces the "protection" (our ronso) to play some pool. The Ronso tried to go upstairs when the guard left him to escort the ladies, but critically failed on his jump check and tripped. He was able to play it cool, but the guard is on his.... well guard.
All in all, it was a fun night. Everyone got to play to their strengths skill wise. I am getting "better" at keeping a good 50/50 mix between combat/rp.
So next time: rescue the old man
