Act 1: A Coronation to Die For

The light must have been a big help, but now you can see, clear as day that you are speaking to a very attractive, rather voluptuous, celestian. And it is DEFINITELY female.

Also, Lilith, O-Ren, I will send you your results.

Zero does not hide his admiration for the lovely creature, but continues chatting all the same. "Thanks. My aunt was a groupie for The Lollipop Guild, and pretty much raised me on a steady diet of this stuff." Looking at the CDs, he realizes he doesn't have anything to play them on, and barely any money anyway. Oh, well. Time to pay up for past crimes. "Ah, yes. Barrel Riders. Good album, that one. I think I'll take it."

Placing the money on the counter with some regret, he looks back at the light from outside. "You know I haven't had a chance to meet the princess yet, but I figured she just has to be the most beautiful lady in the realm. I mean, it's only fitting! You're not posing as a commoner to escape the pressures of palace life, are you?"

Roll for sleazebagginess. Or whatever's the equivalent. Bluff doesn't quite sound right, but neither does Diplomacy. Shall I just roll for plain Charisma? In any of these cases, that's a +4

The celestian simply chuckles a bit, having heard this line before, but still felt a bit flattered. "No, I assure you, I'm no princess. The princess is a human actually. Very nice too. She breaks the princess stereotype in a lot of ways." She takes the money, counting it out (subtract 5 gold from your funds). She places the CD in a bag, handing it to him."Have a nice day, handsome." She said with a pleasant smile.

Zero walks out of the store, five gold poorer, and one cult favorite but obscure CD richer. Spending money on food is out of the question now. "When will the wedding celebrations begin?" he wonders, then looks about for something that might look like a canape table.

Ever on the lookout for both ladies and guards, he cannot help but notice Lillith and O-Ren again. He decides to do his searching in this area so he can keep an eye on them.

Rolling +4 Streetwise for chances at free food

Rolling +4 Perception to see if he can catch anything regarding the situation with the two ladies.

Streetwise: You do happen to notice a couple people casually dining at a table outside a restaurant!

Perception: You simply notice they were talking to a local officer of the law,but nothing else of interest.

hmm i got some time to kill, lets see, what there is my perception is +2

hmm, i think i will wait till this love ritual to start. knute thought to himself.

KhurQuinn made his way toward the ceremony site, not paying much attention along the way. He asked a few people for directions and eventually stumbled upon a grassy field. Interesting. Noting that the sky was merely a representation on a screen, he was impressed never-the-less. There were quite a few people bustling around and setting things up. Apparently he had arrived a little too early. Still unsure if this was the correct place, he flagged down a servant who was on her way out.

"Excuse me, but is this the correct location for the joining ritual?"

this halfling seems to know as much as i do, thought oh dae-su, as he stood in the main hall, i will proceed to this wedding, there seems to be people of higher standing there, perhaps they may know something that could be of use to me....

Khur'Quinn: The servant, a human female in a white dress, was on her way home after setting up decorations all day. She stopped as Khur'Quinn spoke to her. "The joining ritual? Oh! You must mean the wedding. Yes, this is it, but you're a bit early. Still, feel free to look around and mingle with the other 'early birds'.", she said with a light giggle as she headed out for the moment.

Khur'Quinn, please roll me a perception check to see if you notice anything else about this place, such as the other guests she mentioned perhaps?

Perception +1,000

Or +7.

Whichever is more believable.

YOU SEE TIME ITSELF.

No, wait, you only have a +7. But it was still an excellent roll. Some food was already set out and some of the servants, dressed in snappy black suits, were preparing drinks to serve to the guests. You could clearly tell this wedding was a rather big deal. Among the guests were an older, chubby human male with little hair on his head and a white beard, dressed in a rather stunning blue suit.

Another was a tall android, looking less human and more mechanical in appearance, wearing a set of white armor and sporting a ... monocle? Yes, it was definitely a monocle, why a robot had one is perplexing.

And finally, a celestian female, her platinum blonde hair cascading down her back, wearing a gorgeous red gown with a set of white gloves. She looked to be 'middle-aged' for a celestian, but still quite a looker.

Oh, and among them was also a velociraptor in a top hat and bow tie.

A mechanical! How interesting.

The alchemist approached the robot. "Greetings. My name is KhurQuinn. Forgive my forwardness but I have an interest in necromancy and engineering. Are you a summoned soul or merely a product?"

The android turned to him, giving him a confused look. "Ah... well, er, please to meet you, Khur'Quinn... I assure you, I was not summoned, but a product... would be a more accurate term, yes. Like most androids, I was constructed in a factory... oh dear, I'm getting a head of myself! I am Model G-4570. But my companions here simply refer to me as 'Gasto'. A pleasure to meet your acquaintance, and it's riveting to meet someone so interested in engineering such as yourself..."

KhurQuinn raises his arm and taps on the metal plating.

"More then a passing interest. All of my race have replaced the limbs with cybernetic ones. A necessity, I'm afraid. However, I have taken the time to truly embrace them, learning the intricacies of the mechanical. I have always maintained and upgraded my own augmentations. I'm sure you can understand my interest in a purely cybernetic entity. Are you completely sentient or do you have limited programming?"

"Aha, I see! A sort of... cyborg, if you will! Fascinating... well, I do have my own free will, since androids, by law, are to be treated as living creatures. There was a big fuss over this kind of thing ages ago,b ut that's not important now! Come, come, let me introduce you to my friends..."

"Cyborg? Yes. Perhaps that is the best way to describe us. Not entirely accurate, however. Friends?"

"Damn place is like a minotaurs maze" Ryltar mutters to himself as he trys to navagate the packed coradors.

" Why yes, the rest of us that have shown up!" Gasto lead Khurquinn to the rest of the group. He motioned to each one in turn. "This here is Reginald Samson...", he said, motioning to the older man.

"Charmed.", he said in response, nodding his head.

"Next we have Lady Naria from Celestia...", Gasto motioned to the celestian woman.

"Mmmm, a pleasure to meet you, sir...", she said in a seductive tone.

"And finally, Sir Wolfman Kaiser Roll Stroganoff III."

The velociraptor tipped his hat, speaking. "How do you do?"
