A summons.

You have been invited to a chat. 'Invited' isn't a strong enough term, actually, and the conversation won't be taking place in a chatroom. Your screen goes black, and your vision follows. You hear a modem, as well as something rhythmic and deep. When your vision returns, you see a dark latticework of tree-branches above you and a ring of squat mushrooms around your feet. A girl stands several feet in front of you, maybe fifteen or sixteen years old. She is wearing a trim gray business suit, over-wide shoulderpads giving her figure a triangular look. "Thank you for coming," she says, in a accent which sounds as if it is more familiar with shaping commands than niceties.

Always

Always

An offer.

"You are as skilled as I have been led to believe," the girl says, her voice like breaking icicles. "I will overlook your transgressions -- those silly little hacks of yours -- and restore your signal integrity in exchange for a favor."

A man who controls rodents with a flute. It seems like a silly old story, but then that seems to be how things are these days. Aside from the well-traveled path from the stairs to the kegs, the bar's basement is filthy. A few pairs of eyes stop moving when they see you.


Not just abracadabra.

Learn about code magic.

Uses and limitations.

Sigils and scripts are typed into workstations, traced in the air, intoned -- there are many ways to practice this new art. But unlike non-magic programming, there is no guarantee you will get the same result every time. The moon phase, the proximity to the magnetic poles, and user emotional state are some of the more readily understood variables. In-sim, though, these variables appear to have either been reduced in importance or completely eliminated.

An interesting challenge.

The bartender at a local watering hole is having some trouble keeping rats out of the place's basement. He's heard there are bards who are good with this kind of thing. Whatever that means.

A man who controls rodents with a flute. It seems like a silly old story, but then that seems to be how things are these days. Aside from the well-traveled path from the stairs to the kegs, the bar's basement is filthy. A few pairs of eyes stop moving when they see you.

The rats just sneer at your attempt at an inveiglement spell. You pack up your lute and depart before the barkeep asks anything.

Skill - Muse 7 failed in a challenge! Try again and you may have better luck...

The new old forms.

It soon came to be revealed that music, if executed within very specific strictures, could cast spells. Similarities between musical notation and fey code are easily drawn -- marks on paper representing sounds and their absence. This, combined with the growing popularity of the synthesizer, prompted a new genre dubbed "neofolkloric". Most neofolk bands simply cover medieval ballads, but some make the transition from musician to practitioner.

Private enterprise steps in.

EEC manages human access to the Annwn Simulation and human safety within. The fairies don't seem particularly interested in whether or not people are attacked by virtual eldritch powers. The brave men and women of the Gatekeepers, or just 'Keepers', guard the roadways.

In addition, any sale of fey magic/technology is regulated by the corporation. Any fey boon comes at a price, and many tend to backfire in a sort of mangled poetic justice. EEC is the FDA of this new era of magic.

If you want to consider being a Keeper, build your reputation as Fighter and Coder.

Where there is law, there is crime.

Most of the magic you see around is over-the-counter. Minor glamours, tonic hexes. But some is purchased on the black market. Dealers known as "juicers" can get you that illegal love potion you're after -- for a price.

If, for some crazy reason, you want to become a juicer yourself, build your reputation as a Broker and perform actions to increase your Affiliation. A solid Wits skill wouldn't hurt either.

A summons.

You have been invited to a chat. 'Invited' isn't a strong enough term, actually, and the conversation won't be taking place in a chatroom. Your screen goes black, and your vision follows. You hear a modem, as well as something rhythmic and deep. When your vision returns, you see a dark latticework of tree-branches above you and a ring of squat mushrooms around your feet. A girl stands several feet in front of you, maybe fifteen or sixteen years old. She is wearing a trim gray business suit, over-wide shoulderpads giving her figure a triangular look. "Thank you for coming," she says, in a accent which sounds as if it is more familiar with shaping commands than niceties.

Always

An offer.

"You are as skilled as I have been led to believe," the girl says, her voice like breaking icicles. "I will overlook your transgressions -- those silly little hacks of yours -- and restore your signal integrity in exchange for a favor."

A summons.

You have been invited to a chat. 'Invited' isn't a strong enough term, actually, and the conversation won't be taking place in a chatroom. Your screen goes black, and your vision follows. You hear a modem, as well as something rhythmic and deep. When your vision returns, you see a dark latticework of tree-branches above you and a ring of squat mushrooms around your feet. A girl stands several feet in front of you, maybe fifteen or sixteen years old. She is wearing a trim gray business suit, over-wide shoulderpads giving her figure a triangular look. "Thank you for coming," she says, in a accent which sounds as if it is more familiar with shaping commands than niceties.

Always

Always

An offer.

"You are as skilled as I have been led to believe," the girl says, her voice like breaking icicles. "I will overlook your transgressions -- those silly little hacks of yours -- and restore your signal integrity in exchange for a favor."


A secret meeting place.

If you are going to find Jackyl, you'll need to follow up on a lead. From what you've been able to glean from hurried whispers and averted eyes, there is a particularly private club in Annwn. Jackyl's name often comes up in connection to it.

The thin woman has put your name forward to seal an ongoing deal with a fairy supplier. If you succeed, you'll be a full juicer for sure.

You dress in some standard civilian user gear -- a vest and leggings -- and walk around unnoticed. You find the spot near the grafted tree and set up your spells.

A haze of dandelion fuzz follows the spriggan as he moves. He agrees to speak with you.

Just as the requisite formalities are attended to, two people in armor step into your circle. Keepers!

The spriggan's not a bad fighter, but the Keepers are armed with some heavily enchanted weapons. With a few careful slashes and a forearm bash that would make the Marquis of Queensbury faint, you dispatch the EEC thugs.

"We shall deal," the spriggan promises, a thick fluid dripping from his hollow eye.

Your 'Quest - Become a juicer.' Quality has gone!

You are now a Juicer!
