10th Random Encounter - 50% Droning
[Action; 1765 Beaver Street]
[Red Mage wakes up in his bed just like usual, but today he's feeling rather... different than usual. Still, everything looks normal during his morning routine. He puts his bathrobe on, takes a shower, heads downstairs, gets the paper, lights up his pipe...
Wait.
Since when does he smoke a pipe?]
Well, this is silly. Why would I want to force a Fortitude save for something as incidental as this?
...Oh well. It's a holiday, after all. A man deserves a good smoke every now and again. Haha!
[Just continuing on with his smoke.]
[Action; pacing around Mayfield]
[Red Mage's memories are evenly split between Mayfield and home, and it looks like he's started to notice. The problem is, he's not entirely sure what to do about it. So he's currently pacing nervously around, eyes closed and fingers pressed against his temples as he quietly mutters some inscrutable mantra to himself.]
I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve, I attempt to disbelieve...
[Phone; unfiltered]
Happy 4th of July, neighbors! Would anyone like to go to the fireworks display together? The more, the merrier, after all! I've heard the craftsman responsible for this year's event rolled a natural 20 on his Craft: Explosives check! I think the wife and kids are going to be really impressed. Just make sure you're all wearing equipment with at least Fire Resistance 5 just in case someone botches their check to light those things off. It sure would be a shame if a peaceful little town like ours got a reputation for negligent fire safety, after all. Why, we'd never hear the end of it from those snooty Westporters.
[Action; at the fireworks display]
[Red Mage can be found alternately watching the fireworks and desperately scrawling something down on a notebook he's brought with him. If anyone looks, the excerpts are all things like the elemental weaknesses and strengths of demons and devils, a list of all available equipment in the town of Corneria sorted by price and weapon or armor bonus, a faithful re-creation of his own character sheet, and so on.]
No... can't... forget! Must... succeed... Will save...
[But then, after a few moments, he's back to serenely enjoying the display. He bounces back and forth between the two the entire time.]
