Absolutely. Did we learn something useful about the extent of Em's skills from yesterday's test run or are we starting off with it?

Should be good to see what has happened now that Mr. Greed has time to stumble around with his mind broken.

>>25865531
I think he pretty much comatosed.

It is Friday morning, you have one night before the party. It would seem as though you have almost run out of time. However, you still have hope because of two developments: Emily's awakening, and an alert that appeared on your phone early this morning: "Hellgle tracked tag alert: New news result for "Eric Dunham." Eric is going to be at a fundraiser lunch downtown to benefit starving children. It looks like you have at least some kind opening to exploit. However, exactly how you are going to do that is still unclear.

Last night you just practiced some basic energy manipulation before going to bed. She has a basic grasp of reading and manipulating emotions/souls, as long as you supply her with the energy.

>>25865531
He's a vegetable, after yesterday.

>>25865621
Lets get to that fundraiser then

>>25865715
You prepare to go. You straighten out your suit, and watch as Emily gets dressed into her rather informal, sole outfit of a black skirt and a red top. You have decided to take her along, see if her talents will be useful. You both catch a taxi downtown to a lobby room of a respectable hotel, the location of this fundraiser. You walk through the glass doors, and up to the man at the door of the fundraiser room. There is an "Optional Donation" box. You nod to the attendant at the door, making sure to radiate a sense of authority and trust, drop a fifty in the box, and walk through. There is a buffet table on the right side of the room, tables and chairs in the center, and a small raised platform and a microphone in the front. You find a seat with Emily, as it looks like someone is about to begin speaking. As you sit, you notice Eric in a seat three rows ahead of you. As someone who is announced as the benefactor of the event begins speaking, Emily turns to you and speaks.

"So, what's the plan?"

bump

>>25865976
First, we need to size Eric up, find out what we're working with. Any sin/emotion read on him atm?

>>25866222
Roll a d100 for sin reading, 40+ for success.

He appears content.

Rolled 61

>>25866270

>>25866356
His soul reeks of gluttony.

Rolled 19

>>25866384
Great. Unfortunately not one of the ones we've got increased affinity for, but it's still good to know. I don't think we can get over to talk to him right now so I guess we'll have to just work his emotions and watch his reactions. Let's whisper that to Em as our 'for now' plan.

>>25866384
Talk to him. Do we have to kill his soul? Or can we steal his soul and kill him?

Rolled 22

>>25866425
We need to get a ring he owns.

>>25866432
OK. Soul steal, ring, let him go on with life. Go up to him when we see him free from others.

Rolled 5

>>25866450
Yeah lets. If we can do a mindtravel screw and cash an invitation that way, it'd be great. We need Em to help distract, entertain, keep him trapped in conversation and so forth. Wouldn't hurt if he gets a tad of a hard-on for her, but it isn't outright necessary ATM

>>25866419
"For now, lets just try to work his emotions and watch his reactions. We can get up and talk to him as soon as this speech is over."

She nods, and you both wait. Eric talks with the woman beside him, laughing quietly. The benefactor speaks about the cause, encourages everyone to donate, and then tells everyone to make themselves welcome to the free food. The crowd stands up, and disperses towards the buffet table.

You see Eric get up, and walk to the buffet table. You follow with Emily, and get in line behind him. You can sense the ring on his person, although you can't see it. Its energy has a distinctive feel that you instinctively pick out. Now, a method to start things off, and you will be on your way.

>>25866513
Wonderful speech there fellow. I'm finding myself lamenting some sins, and have decided on helping out in this charity to cleanse my soul. With a bit more sentence structure, I'm drunk

>>25866563
Yeah, asking him what he thought of the speech as an idle conversation opener while we're all waiting in line anyways should work.

>>25866563
He wasn't the one who made a speech

>>25866608
Wond erful speech, don't you agree?

>>25866636
"Wonderful speech, don't you agree?"

He turns around, looks at you and your companion.

"I suppose so, although I found it a bit lacking in flavor. And who might you and your lovely friend be?" He asks, raising one immaculate eyebrow.

>>25866704
Oh, we're interested parties. I'm Nathan, and this is my life partner, em. I showed up out of an interest in repentance, as we all have regrets. You'd know about that, I'm sure. Whilst pouring our juju into his skull

>>25866704
Give him our 'mortal' name, nothing bad should come of that I'd say.

>>25866738
This, our juju in this case being trust and our, shall I say, devilish charm.

>>25866738
"Oh, we're interested parties. I'm Nathan, and this is my life partner, Emily. I showed up out of an interest in repentance, as we all have regrets. You'd know about that, I'm sure." You begin to channel charm and trust, while funneling a bit of lust through Emily.

He guffaws. "I wouldn't say I do, really. Although, this get-together does have good catering, and a few people I enjoy are here. Is that really what brings you and your friend here, repentance? For what?"

>>25866839
Oh, you know. Kids starving in Africa and all that junk.

>>25866839
Too many people beaten on our way to the top. Ah, the fruits of glory are too sweet to get rid of, unfortunately

>>25866921
Maybe replace 'the top' with just 'upwards'. Otherwise seconded. Finish it with 'so a bit of repentance every now and then it is instead.'

>>25866948
Follow up with that the good catering is, however, a very nice bonus.

>>25866921
"Too many people beaten on our way upwards. Ah, the fruits of glory are too sweet to get rid of, unfortunately, so a bit of repentance every now and then it is instead. The catering is however, a nice bonus."

"Hah, the story of my life. Except the way I tell it, you don't need to repent to keep having fun."

Emily decides to take initiative, and speaks up. "So you like having fun, eh? What kind of fun do you like to have?" She asks with a flirtatious smile.

He smirks back. "Better watch out Nathan, looks like you have a live one here. As for fun, I like to mix and match." He eyes her up and down, examining her young body.

>>25867067
Chuckle at their exchange, we don't mind and we want him to know. Not sure if the woman he was sidding beside is something to him, if she seems to be, get her into the converse. As it stands, we may be able to lure him off with the implied bait of a threesome/orgy. The easiest way to manipulate a man is often by making his dick do the thinking after all.

>>25867078
You chuckle, exuding nonchalance. From your emotional reading, you don't think he has a very strong bond with the woman.

>>25867157
going to end the thread for tonight folks, will pick it up again from this point on a later.
