Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Administrative note: Tory's card draw has exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeeeeah, baby, give me that Political Prowess!

Those cards are confusing me. I guess my Destiny count was off. New Destiny deck now, correct?

That is correct.

Was Destiny created before or after the Politics deck was reshuffled? I REALLY WANT POLITICAL PROWESS.

Destiny was created after the reshuffle. Technically, it should've been done as soon as the old Destiny deck was depleted, but I didn't notice immediately. All shuffles are random, so it doesn't really matter. (And either way, Destiny plus Tory have taken the same number of cards, so we're 3 cards into the reshuffled Politics deck either way.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Okay, I play CS3 to capitalize on the fact that I can't move. For my movement phase, I play CP1 to draw 2 yellow.

For my action phase, I activate the Brig to try to get out of the pokey. I play IC-3 as an interrupt to get a better feel for what my odds are.

The Brig, she is activated. The check is a 7 YP. Possible interrupts: IC (played!), SR, Reckless, Political Prowess. Everyone, please pass or play. You can send me COs for your play into the check too. The Chief will be first to play, Tory last.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Tory can only play one card into this check?

Eta: I pass on interrupts.

She is thus limited, it's true. Kat too.

I have passes on further interrupts. An IC is in force, so all cards except Destiny are played face up. I even have a couple of COs:

Destiny: 2 cards
Chief: 0 cards
Kat:
Cally: (COs received)
Tigh:
Tory: (COs received)

Kat is up next.
