Weasel and Kid Sinister - a solo RPG, session 1

Setting the tone, outside Nemo's Nook Bar, in the City



Weasel looked from Kid Sinister to Rook then back again, he sighed and poured himself  a glass of whatever alcohol  was in the bottle the bartended had given him.  Feck, was it his fault Shona had walked, she was their sister, okay, maybe only metaphorically speaking, but Shona, Kid and he were family, they stuck together, at least he thought they did till Shona split.


Weasel poured the blue green nectar down his neck, boy did it burn his throat, but as the  viscous spirit meandered through his veins the pain of losing Shona began to subside. he looked back at Kid S, then at Rook again, he rubbed his face with his grubby hands, then scratched his scalp through his greasy brown hair, why in the name of the dead did Kid have to pick up Rook, another pretty young face he would use then throw away when he had lost interest in her.  Maybe had Kid S not brought Rook on the scene Shone would still be here.  Weasel sighed and scratched his neck, no Shona was already on her way out of the city, it was neither the fault of Kid Sinister nor his new plaything, Rook, but that didn't stop Weasel missing Shona nor did it stop Kid S from blaming Weasel for letting her go.


Weasel poured himself another green blue drink, what is this stuff!  He vaguely heard Kid S say something, something like "maybe Shona was right, maybe its time to leave the city, maybe it is to dangerous for us to stay in the city, maybe we will swing by our  necks, maybe...


Weasel thrust his chair back and stood up, he heard himself snap, "Feck Sinister, shut the feck up already, you wanna fecking blame someone for Shona fecking off, fine, just don't blame me.  You wanna find her, fine, come on them, lets fecking do it, lets leave this hole and go after her", pointing at Rook. Weasel shouted " feck man. you can even bring that thing with you".  Grabbing his bottle of poison, Weasel kicked his seat out of the way and headed for the bar exit.


Weasel steps out in to the street, glancing back to see if Kid Sinister had followed but all he sees are the neon lights above the entrance to Neros Nook bar which buzz like fly's above his head, maybe a walk in the night air would help clear his mind.


* Is there anyone else on the street - Yes



I get a random icon from Game-icons.net, it is a picture of a skirt, so I decide whoever is in the street must be female.


* is it Shona - No But


so its not Shona herself but it could be a friend of hers


* is it someone who knows Shona - Yes


Weasel recognises Lavanya Ashterka standing at the corner of the street, one of Shona's closest friends after Kid Sinister and himself, he strolls up to Lavanya and says something stupid about girls standing on street corners.


(I am using the d6 demiurge protocols for solo play)

I see the Environment (the street outside Nemos Nook) as Neutral, rolling d6 to see if there is any change to the environment 

* Roll : 3 = no change

I roll d6 twice to see how Lavanya reacts to Weasel 

* Roll : 6 = Violent and furiously

* Roll : 2 = Willing to assist


Lavanta grabs Weasel by the scruff of the neck and starts hitting him, calling him all the names under the sun and asking how he could let Shona leave the city on her own, if he is interested to know why and where Shona went, she will tell him.


Weasel asks why everyone is blaming him for Shona leaving the city, like he could have stopped her, all he wants to do is find her and bring her home.


* I check again to see if there is any change to the environment (the streets outside Neros Nook) and get

* Worsens and a distant and vague boon begins to materialise.


* Checking to see if Lavanta's reaction to Weasel has mellowed I get

* Violent and Furiously/eager to assist (again but eager this time)


The sound of vehicle sirens, can be heard in the distance but seem to be getting closer.

Lavanta grabs Weasel by the collar and pushes him up against a wall, she tells him that he is not a little street child just doing what he can to get by anymore and Kid Sinister isn't a kid no more, Shona told her that they had got on the wrong side of more than just the law and that it was getting too dangerous for her to stay in the city.  Shona wanted Kid and Weasel to leave with her but Weasel had said no to her.


The sound of the sirens is getting ever closer and blue/red lights begin to appear dancing in the air not far away, Lavanta loosens her grip on Weasel and tells him that the city is changing, the law is cleaning the place up and the crime lords are looking for someone, anyone to blame, Shona knew this, knew it was getting too dangerous to hang around here, that's why she left the city, if Weasel wants to find her he should get Kid Sinister and head north out of the city, go to Coldhaven, Shone had friends there, thats where she would likely be heading but this place wasn't their home no more.


As the dancing lights get closer, Lavanta tells Weasel she has to head home, she tells him he was wrong, she did not blame him for Shona leaving the city, she blamed him for letting her go on her own.


Weasel didn't look to see where Lavanta went to, he runs back to Neros Nook, Kid Sinister and Rook are still there at the table, Weasel tells them that he knows where Shona is heading and if they want to find her they need to go north but the law is on its way to this district and they need to go NOW!
