conversations.value: Internet acquaintances, perhaps new to the game, or perhaps referred by their previous experience battling ghosts and/or temporal anomalies, have received an urgent request for assistance.
  
  The setting seems so utterly prosaic - whatever the crisis is, it's said to be ongoing in or around a suburban high school in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains - but the request has come with a promise of generous rewards.
  
  Too generous.  What's *really* going on here?
  
  *Characters are welcome to be drawn from the We Are All Broken games, but are by no means required to be.  You can be your online persona, or anyone else, although they should probably be the kind of person or thing that can exist on Earth and interact with people.  This is not an 18+ game.*

conversations.prefix: Mundane Background:

conversations.prefix: Delusion:

conversations.value: Your host for the current festivities.  He seems to be a high school teacher.
conversations.prefix: Jacob Niewitzski:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Did someone seriously send a private limo to pick you up?  It's no flying steamboat, but it's still thoughtful!
conversations.prefix: Limousine:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: Chauffeur:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Hey, wasn't this place supposed to be connected to the New World Order or the Illuminati or something?
conversations.prefix: Investigate Conspiracy Theories:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: All you really need to do is *wait* until your ride gets here.  Wait and not cause any trouble.  You're...not going to be able to do that, are you?
conversations.prefix: Try Not to Make a Scene:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The source of the writing on the card is probably whomever decided to zap a security guard at the airport before they could cause you minor inconvenience.  This may be relevant information!
conversations.prefix: Whose handwriting?:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Why is there so much crap left behind in here?  Is any of it useful or interesting?  Is the remote control to *turn down the blasted stereo* anywhere in the pile?!
conversations.prefix: Investigate Rubbish in Limo:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Small, durable, and well-made, their intended purpose is not obvious - but why limit yourself to the intended?
conversations.prefix: Strange Metal Tools:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: They're lozenge-shaped, a little squishy, and you found them under the seat of the limousine.  Are they for closing the hearing or opening the doorways of consciousness?  Or maybe they're just vitamins.
conversations.prefix: Novelty Earplugs or Maybe Just Drugs:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: They're sort of egg-shaped, and about the right size...do jackalopes *lay* eggs, or could this be, say, a thunderbird egg?
  
  Or maybe it's just a rock that would hurt like the dickens if thrown hard enough.  But who would keep rocks in a mini-fridge?
conversations.prefix: Cryptid Eggs or Maybe Just Rocks:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Not that you were short of knives or anything, but someone had a whole matched set of these tucked away in that panel in the limo.  Why were they placed there?  Did they get these off some infomercial?  Are they still sharp?  Only the answer to the last ("dammit, ow, yes!") is clear.
conversations.prefix: Matched Set of Throwing Knives:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A Jesuit institute for college preparatory education, a few hours north and west of Denver.  How completely normal!
conversations.prefix: St. Xavier High School:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A perfectly serviceable deck of tarot cards that was confiscated from the previous owner for their occult purposes - or maybe just because they kept trying to use them in class.

conversations.value: A re-appropriated garden shed on the north side of the main building filled with chemical equipment and an array of surplus computer hardware wired together in dubious ways.
conversations.prefix: Investigate the Science is Fun! Clubhouse:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Underneath the stage in the school theater is an area meant to be a green room, as suggested by the apricot sofa smelling faintly of cannabis, but also filled with boxes of decidedly non-theatric props.
conversations.prefix: Investigate the Alien Fighters Hideout:

conversations.value: On the roof of the school, there's a few benches shielding a strange apparatus from easy view.

conversations.value: Why only take Jacob's word that nothing is wrong?  Take a poke around Classroom 203 and see what he was up to!
conversations.prefix: Investigate the SANDS Clubroom:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's a scrapbook full of spells tested and assembled by high school students.  Surely, if you consulted it at every opportunity, you might eventually find an incantation that actually did something useful!
conversations.prefix: Master the Grimoire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Time to pretend to be substitute teachers.  Subjects to include Physical Education, Chemistry, Civics, Literature, and Home Economics.
conversations.prefix: Teach Classes:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Who's Legit?:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A junior in high school with a forceful personality, she's openly protective of everyone she identifies as "hers".  How she comes to decide that she owns certain people is quite unanswered.
conversations.prefix: Stella St. James:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Explain what all happened, trying not to get too sidetracked on irrelevant details unless they're really quite entertaining, and yet with an uncanny eye for the minor details that turn out to matter greatly!  Easy-peasy.
conversations.prefix: Debrief:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: "Squamous" is the preferred terminology.  Between the pincers, the horrible jaw, the barbed tongue, and the marble-crushing claws on its feet, it has a startling number of ways to hurt you.
conversations.prefix: That Monster:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The gate is important.  Natalie probably knows something.  Try to protect both, if you can!
conversations.prefix: ...save Natalie?:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's gotten a lot of after-market modifications that should somehow make it suited to manipulate gates or even certain sorts of monsters.
  
  It's so...bad.
  
  It's also in rapidly decaying shape, and probably can't handle many more uses.
conversations.prefix: Modified Power Glove:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are entering a dimension not of sight or sound but of mind...
conversations.prefix: The Gate:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This place both affects and is affected by your thoughts.  Can you find your way to the other side?
conversations.prefix: Navigate This Strange Space:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: If they're human, they don't belong here.  Get as many of the faculty and staff as you can together and get them to a safe place!  And if you can find the bad kids, too, well, it'll probably make someone's paperwork easier if you bring them back home too.
conversations.prefix: Round Up the Innocents:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: While they're rounding up the innocents, someone has to keep the monsters from chowing down.  By combat, distraction, terrain modification, divination, demolition, or any other means, keep the things in the darkness from attacking the civilians!

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can have difficulty understanding rapidly changing situations or excessive stimulus.
conversations.prefix: Confused:

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's hard being a girl living on the streets.  Even harder when you're expected to face down muggers and Jamaican zombie cults.  Harder still when you met your boyfriend in another reality and he may not actually exist.  
conversations.prefix: Stay tough:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your approaches to science are certainly innovative. It's just so d__nably hard to actually find what you need for them. How can a laboratory call itself well-stocked without a few flasks of abominable salt, ripe cheese and a bat-coop?
conversations.prefix: Eccentric Methods:

conversations.prefix: Wild:

conversations.value: You're a dark and mysterious stranger. Emphasis on the strange. What mysteries do you conceal?
conversations.prefix: Mysterious Stranger:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Of course aliens are invading the hollow inside of the Earth to steal unicorns, who would make something like that up?
conversations.prefix: Credulous:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: One man's trash is another scientist's treasure. If you can't take your equipment, you'll just have to find replacements, and nothing - neither good sense nor hygiene nor considerations of personal safety - will stand in your way.
conversations.prefix: Needs Resources Badly:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You know what's exhausting? People. You know what's worse? People *and* noise. It needs to stop. It really needs to stop.

conversations.prefix: Art Critic:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's nothing that some loud music and a good pep talk can't accomplish.  Mel's ready to run through walls if she needs to.
conversations.prefix: Pumped Up:

conversations.value: When someone presents a good plan you're more than able to follow it.
conversations.prefix: Follow The Leader:
