>Rolling rules
When I call for a roll, I'll select the highest of the first three rolls made for that. Natural 1's and natural 20's within the first three rolls count as automatic failures or successes, and those within the first five override the first three roll rule.
>Previously...
"That sounds like her, alright." Your uncle replies, a small grin forming on his face. "Anyway, if you want to eat something, feel free to do so. I've set up a room for you upstairs, too, if you just want to get to sleep. Just be quiet about it, since Nanako fell asleep early. "

"The transfer was already dealt with for school, too, so you'll need to head out in the morning. I'll give you directions before either of us leaves,"

"Thanks." You return, looking around the house as you walk further in.

"Welcome to your home for the next year." Dojima says, patting you on your shoulder.


=========

After grabbing a bite to eat, you have some time before you strictly need to get to sleep...

>Talk to Dojima
>>
>>27244567
You decided to talk to your uncle a bit.

"Hm? What is it, Yu?" He asks, looking up from the newspaper he was reading as you approach the kitchen table where he's sitting. "Can't sleep?"

"That, and I wanted to see about getting to know you better." You reply, shrugging as you pull out the chair across from him and take a seat. "I'm going to be living with you for a year, after all."

"Hah. Well, there'll be plenty of time for that later on." Dojima replies, chuckling. "Anyway, you looked like you had something specific on your mind. What is it?"

You pause, wondering how to phrase this...

"Your partner mentioned a missing person case, but not much more. I was kinda curious about that, and a bit worried too." You say, shrugging.

"Ah, that. Yeah, the announcer woman involved in that whole Namatame scandal went missing a couple of days ago." The man pauses, probably figuring out his own wording to keep from saying things he shouldn't. "Normally, we'd write that off as her trying to get out of the public eye for some time, but since she had requested some police presence to discourage the worst of the media... Well, we suspect foul play."

"Wouldn't there have been an officer there with her, then?" You ask.

"There WOULD have, if there hadn't been the car wreck nearby. Since there hadn't been much going on there, the officer assigned wound up being called in to help with that mess, leaving her alone. I guess that's when whatever it was happened..." He trails off, looking into his drink somberly. "Well, no point dwelling on it. It'd be best if you get to bed. You had a long trip here, and have school in the morning."

You nod, getting up.

"Well then, good night." You say, heading upstairs quietly, preparing to unpack what you can...


=======

That took longer than expected, you think, as you look at the clock nearing midnight and your stored belongings. But you still aren't tired...

>Watch TV
You sit down on the small couch in the room, turning on the TV as you do so.

Flipping through the channels, you pass several that seem uninteresting- a news report, some special on Japanese mythology, and some new harem anime among them. Eventually, you come to something that catches your eye...


A rerun of an old Pheonix Ranger Featherman episode, of who knows which season.

The episode is nearing the end, where the heroes have summoned their robot to do battle with the enlarged monster of the week.

As expected, the battle is going poorly until the robot draws its sword, slashing through the monster with one hit and looking away as its fallen foe explodes.

The show drifts back to the moral of the episode, and the ending theme plays shortly after.

As the clock ticks to midnight, though...

The TV shuts off, and static fills the screen, before it slowly resolves to a blurry view.

A woman, running for her life as a number of shadowy monsters with white masks chase her. The area around her seems similar to the shopping district that you were in earlier, though twisted horribly...

The chase continues, until the woman trips, and the monsters begin to descend...

Suddenly, the screen goes blank, leaving the room quiet.

>>27245996

Vague sense of having done something before are acceptable, but any outright doing things based on stuffthe character shouldn't know will be ignored.


For example, focusing attacks on something you know will be stronger, despite looking weaker? That's fine. Vague sense of foreboding, ect.

Not saving Yukiko because that means Namatame will stop? That's getting ignored.


Also, are you the /m/ Moose?

...That can't be normal.

You rush over to the TV, taking a careful look at it. Nothing's out of place with the wiring or the case, but as you brush your hand over the screen, it...

Ripples?

Touching it, you feel the cool surface give way, parting like fog around your arm...

Something's grabbed onto your hand, and is pulling you in!

but he didn't link it to the Op properly so it doesn't count. By that logic, he also rolled a 20, which cancle each other out.

goodness i'm confused

also how do i roll, no one answered me.

>>27247240
So his 20 doesn't count because it wasn't in the first three? Okay I understand the rules now.

He rolled in response to the post that asked to roll

>>27247261
Cosgrove did connect his 1 to the correct post, where I asked for a roll.


To roll, just put dice+[Roll requested] in the e-mail field. For this, mostly dice+1d20

>Pull it out/let it pull you in
You latch onto the thing pulling on you- time to smack the crap out of i-

>1

...You suddenly regret that decision as it pulls you through the screen in a highly uncomfortable manner, sending you tumbling through a void...

And landing on your ass, in the middle of a white room. You can barely see the point where the floor stops and the walls begin, but that isn't the biggest problem.

What the biggest problem is is the person standing in here, a grinning teenage boy... Who is almost a carbon-copy of -you-.

"Why hello there, Yu Narukami." He says in your voice, his yellow eyes taking a maniacal look. "How are YOU doing today? Because I'm feeling FANTASTIC."

"Feeling abandoned and neglected by my parents, thanks." You reply offhandedly. "But the real thing I've got to ask is, who IS this handsome devil in front of me?"

"I'm Yu." Your yellow-eyed clone replies, his grin widening more. "And you? You aren't me."

"What."

"Oh, you know. I'm all that Yu Narukami doesn't want to accept about himself. His loneliness, his constant reinventing himself to suit those around him..." The other you says, yes, still grinning. "Call me a Shadow."

"...Alright... Now, where AM I? Why did you pull me in?" You ask, looking around. "You aren't going to try and kill me or something, are you?"

"Where we are is the world of the unconscious. I pulled you in because I thought you were me, and that I could kill Yu." The Shadow says, seemingly taking delight in his crypticness. "But you? You aren't the guy I was looking for."

"So, you're Yu, and I'm Yu, but I'm not the Yu you were looking for?" You ask, taking a moment to go over the phrasing in your head.

"Exactly, buddy." The Shadow replies, giving you a thumbs up.

"Then who am I?"

"Eh. You're Yu, too. Other than that, I've got no clue."

The infuriating grin is still there...

"So, is there anything I can DO in here, or is it just talking to you?" You ask, breaking the momentary silence.

"Weelllll.... If you go outside, there are PLENTY of weaker shadows you could fight. But you DON'T want to do that right now. What with them being whipped into a frenzy and all." The doppleganger replies, waving at what now seems to be a vague outline of a door. "It happens every once in a while. Something just makes 'em snap, and go crazy eating each other and whatever poor bastard gets caught out there."

"...Why aren't you in a frenzy, then? You said you're a Shadow..."

"Oh, that's something for me to know, and you to figure out on your own." He says, chuckling some.

>You're me, right?

"Two things, before I go." You say, catching a look from the Shadow. "If I'm Yu, and you're Yu, doesn't that mean that I'm you and you're me?"

"Nope! You aren't me. I can't be you. " He returns, shrugging. "Don't ask me what the hell that means, 'cause I don't know. I just know that I'm Yu, and you're Yu, but we aren't both Yu. Now, what was the other thing?"

"Before I came in, the TV showed a woman being chased by monsters, probably those lesser Shadows you mentioned. Know anything about that?"

"Ahhh, THAT'S what the commotion outside was. All I knew before this was that someone dropped in a few days ago, and had been drifting aimlessly since." The Shadow replies, nodding. "About half an hour ago, her presence vanished. Pretttyyy sure she got eaten."

...That's depressing.

"Anyway, ready to leave, Yu? " He asks, shrugging at your response. "Let me get this exit set up, then..."

He seems to concentrate for a moment, before a pillar of TV sets falls from the ceiling, somehow, and slams into the floor.


"Walk right in, and you'll fall right out." He says, pointing to the sets. "If you want to stop in for a chat sometime, knock first."

"Would you be willing to try one more time? For curiosity's sake?" You ask, looking to the door. "I want to be sure I'm not leaving someone to their death here."

The Shadow nods at that.
"Yeah, sure." He says, closing his eyes and pinching his nose.

...

...

"..I got nothing. She's gone, man." He says, sighing. "Sorry."

"That's... A shame." You manage to say, before stepping towards the sets. "Say, care to leave with me? It's gotta be boring here alone."

"Hah. Thanks, but no thanks." He says, shaking his head. "I've got no clue what'd happen to me in your world. Hell, I'm pretty sure being here is bad for normal people."

"Well, the same offer is extended to you. Feel free to hop through if you want to talk, but knock first." You say, offering a handshake.

"Hah. No problem." He replies, accepting it.

You walk into the tower of TVs, giving a short wave as you fall.


==============

...You find yourself on your bedroom floor, sprawled out.

That was a rough trip.

Looking at the clock, you see that it's past 12:30. Seems you took your time talking to that Shadow...

>Tuesday, April 12th, 2011, 6:30 AM

You wake up to your alarm going off next to your ear.

That's right. After the supernatural weirdness of last night, you have school this morning... Best be getting ready.

=======

Less than ten minutes later, you're downstairs, walking in on your uncle eating a bowl of cereal.

"Ah, you're up early." He says, giving you a look. "I got a call for another missing person case this morning, so I'll be heading out earlier than I expected."

He pauses for a moment, looking at the clock.

"Though I really should be going now." He says, standing up. "There's some lunch money on the fridge for you and Nanako, though she usually takes a boxed one. Her school's on the way to yours, so if you walk with her, she'll guide you most of the way."

"Alright, thanks." You say as he tosses his dishes into the sink, picks up his jacket, and leaves.

...Your school starts at 8:30, it seems. Looks like you have time to kill.

>Make lunch
Something inside of you sparks!

You busy yourself for a while, before you hear a thud from upstairs, like a small child sleepwalking into a door.

Ignoring it in your singleminded inspiration, you continue your cooking escapades, eventually...

Creating an odd looking slop, though one that smells heavenly.

A simple taste of it proves it's not just the smell that's good, but the taste, overwhelming your senses and leaving you dazed for a good minute.

You hurriedly pack the ambrosia you created into a few containers- it seems you've made more than enough for yourself inadvertently.

Significantly more. You think you have enough for as many as FIVE people...

"H-hello?" A quiet voice comes from behind you.
Turning around, you see a small girl in a pink schooldress, with pigtails.

This must be your little cousin, Nanako.

"Oh, hello." You say, turning to face her. "I was up early, so I thought I'd make some lunch for myself. Sorry about the mess..."

"Um..."

"Oh, right. I'm your cousin, Yu. Your father told you about me, right? I'm going to be staying here for a year." You realize why she seems so nervous.

"Oh. Um... I'm Nanako! Hello!" She says, perking up. "What's that?"

You realize she's pointing at the three tubs of glorious ambrosia you crafted.

"The source of the smell, actually. It may look horrible, but it tastes great, and seems pretty filling." You say, resting your hand on one.

She seems unconvinced...

"Sorry that we didn't meet last night, I'm sure it must be startling to wake up to what amounts to a stranger cooking in your house." You say, before taking one of the containers and offering it to her, along with a... Hm. Guess fork is the best choice for this stuff. "Want to try some?"

"Um... Sure!" She says, taking the tub and opening it, before taking a bite.

"It's good!"

Her expression changes to a sunny smile, and you can practically see the flowers floating around her.

"I had hoped you'd like it." You say, grinning. "Feel free to take the whole thing."

"Thanks!" She replies, closing it up and setting it aside."I was going to make breakfast, though..."

You look at the pans, utensils, and cutting boards in the sink.

"Want to try making something together, then?"

"Sure!"

==============

You and Nanako successfully made breakfast, then set out for school, yourself with the four remaining tubs of glorious ambrosia stowed safely in your bag.

"Keep going straight here. " She says, as you walk through the rain by the Samegawa river's flood plain. "My school's this way. Thanks for the food!"

With that, she turns off walking on cheerfully under her umberella.

You continue walking towards your school.


=============


About five minutes later, an idiot on a bike barrels past you, screaming what amounts to "OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP" as he does so, before you hear a thud, like a moron hitting a concrete pole.

As you walk on, you see the student standing, clutching his gut or crotch in pain, and his bike on its side next to him

Seems you know where he slammed into the bike.

"Alright, then. If you don't want any help..."

"No... Please.."

You help the idiot up, and manage to get him to start walking.

After a few minutes, when his... Pain... dies down, he begins to speak.

"Thanks for checking on me back there, man." He says, extending his hand in an offer of a handshake as he guides his bike. "Name's Yosuke Hanamura."

"Not a problem." You reply, accepting the handshake. "Only a real heel would have left someone down like that. Yu Narukami."

"So, new in town?" He asks, as the two of you continue walking.

"Yeah. Just moved here last night." You start, continuing through the rain. "I'm staying with my uncle for the next year because my parents got a transfer."

"Ah, I get you." He replies, looking at his own feet. "My dad's a manager at the new Junes here, and I moved here 'bout six months ago when he got the job."

"Huh. Must be nice." You say offhandedly, before you notice his expression change to a more somber one.

"Yeah, I guess." He says, rubbing his neck. "Well, looks like we made it to school. See you around."
With that, he rolls his bike off and you walk into the school...

As you wait outside your classroom for the teacher to introduce you, you hear people quietly talking inside. Something about 'King Moron'...


...Seems you have a few moments to yourself before-

Oh god. Those... THOSE TEETH

"You the new kid, then?" The man asks, the whole combination of buck teeth, cheap suit, and ugly tie stunning you momentarily. "Follow me in there."

He opens the door, stepping through, and you follow. You notice a familiar face in the classroom, sitting a few seats back, who seems to perk up a bit when he sees you.

"Awright, shut your traps!" He yells, catching everyone's attention.

"I'm Kinshiro Morooka, your homeroom teacher from today forward! First things first! Just 'cause it's spring doesn't mean you can swoon over each other like-"

...You blank out for a few moments as the teacher rants.

"-as much of a loser here as he was there, so you girls better not get any ideas about hitting on him! Tell 'em your name, kid, and make it quick."

As he seems to be sputtering for a moment, you turn to the rest of the class.

>Charm

"I'm Yu Narukami. Nice to meet you all. You all must have the patience of saints to deal with him daily." You practically sparkle as you do this.

...At least one girl swoons.

The teacher seems to find himself as you continue to beam at the now adoring class.
"THAT'S IT! You're on my shit list, starting twenty minutes ago!" He yells, glaring at you.

"NOW LISTEN UP! This town is miles away from your big city of perverts and assholes, in more ways than one. You better-"

He continues to rant, until a short haired girl in the middle row raises her hand.

"Excuse me, but is it alright if the new guy sits here?" She asks, looking directly at Morooka.

"Yeah, yeah. Go siddown kid. I'll deal with you later." The teacher mutters, waving you off.

...From the expressions of awe you get, it seems like you just did the unthinkable in front of your classmates.

This will be a good year.

After a few hours of lecture on the value of respect for your elders, and for not whoring around, the class finally ends.

"That's it for today. Normal lectures start tomorrow." Morooka says, glaring at you. "Now I'm going to be talking to some people about someone."

With that, he stomps out of the room, obviously still angry over the insult.

"Holy CRAP, you are THE bravest guy I've met!" Yosuke says, walking over to you. "I haven't seen ANYONE stand up to King Moron like that before!"

A number of murmured agreements and nods can be heard and seen around the classroom.

"You know this guy, Hanamura?" Your neighbor, the short haired girl, asks, giving both you a lookover again, as though trying to figure something out.

"Met him on the way here, after he... Helped me up from a fall." The Prince of Junes says, wincing as he recalls earlier.

You raise a fair point.

I suppose I can reduce it to a +2 range extension, to a total range of 7.

Is that more acceptable to your math?

Rolled 1

>>27254991
A little, what happens if we increase the fortune arcana?
>>
>>27255027
More 7s, of course.

I was planning a "Negate 1 once per thread", a "+7 to one roll", and a few other things.


Also, wow.
>>
>>27255035
*to one roll per thread"

Damn forgetting to put things.
>>
Rolled 14

>>27255035
That doesn't count right?
>>
>>27255097
I called for no rolls. It doesn't count.

>>27254991
Normal 45.87% crit, social 64.18% crit. Not really much better, in my book.

The underlying problem, in my view, (I guess it's not a separate argument!) is that increasing the crit range equally on both ends of the scale is a firm and unambiguous net loss for the players. Things don't cancel out: bad rolls will generally have worse and more permanent consequences ("Life is truth, and never a dream...") than good rolls will have good consequences.

(An actual separate argument would be "so, how is that related to the Wheel of Fortune card?".)

What if we were using a d100?
>>
>>27255027
>>27255035
... although I hadn't noticed the "Rank 1" there. If Rank 2 is something like "your critical success range is the first seven rolls, while your critical failure range is the first six" -- things notionally becoming more controllable as the power of the alien Fortune Arcana becomes more comfortable to us (or similarly fluffed)... well, that's a different beast, isn't it? Still not very Fortune (X)-ish, but that's admittedly even more subjective.

>>27255178
Changing the die size does change things significantly. I'll run the math assuming criticals only on 1 and 100 in a minute.

>>27255108
Oh, also: more die rolls per roll-request means each thread reaches autosage faster. (You may or may not care about this.)
>>
>>27255140

I'll try to keep the consequences roughly equal for both successes and failures, I'd like to note.

(As for how, it IS the card of luck and varying opportunities. I see critical modifications as suitable for the theme.)
>>
>>27255265
Hm...
I'll just go with the planned Rank 2 ability, I suppose.

And I think I'll call it a night, as well, due to a lack of response at the moment, and being in autosage. I'll write up the next thing when I start the next thread.

Later, all.
>>
>>27255441
SHIT
When's the next time?
>>
>>27255441
Okay, bye.
>>
>>27255456
Probably a night when I'm not exhausted from work/have work at 6AM.

Most likely Wednesday.
>>
>>27255268
>I'll try to keep the consequences roughly equal for both successes and failures, I'd like to note.
Yeah... that's probably bad. The problem isn't just individual rolls, it's successive rolls. Gambler's ruin: if on average you break even, you'll always lose in the end.

(A high probability of criticals devalues skill and circumstance bonuses, so there's less motivation to play to your strengths and more motivation to do something completely fucking stupid. And my experience has been that no quest needs to give its readers _more_ motivation to do something completely fucking stupid.)

>>27255178
With 1d100, crits on 1 and 100, normal is 12.81% critical, social is 23.48% critical. For comparison purposes, 3 unmodified d20s (as used in Fate/Stay Again) give a 25.75% chance of criticality.

>>27255441
Alright. Have a good night.
