My favorite moment from the last session of A Portcalypse World
Giullia the Maestro’D and Hooch the Chopper are facing each other in the dark of night. Giullia woke up from opening her Brain (trying to find out who has murderous intentions torwards Naya) with a dying Naya, an empty syringe in her own hand a paniced Mox (Mox belongs to the Angel’s Infirmary). Giullia to blamed Mox for what happened in front of her whole crew and then they rushed Naya to the Angel to save her.
Hooch is still in debt of the Angel and therefore he and his Despoilers went out to get Mox back.
So Giullia (with two of her people) and Hooch face each other. They talk about what the fuck just happened and at that moment it starts to snow heavily. Instant Blizzard.
Both are threatening each other. Giullia says she could just rip open Hooch’s throat with her scissors if he doesn’t give Mox back but the Despoilers will just shoot them if they don’t let them pass.
Both players Go Aggro on each other.
So we have this nearly Samurai movie type moment where both are ready to strike. Just waiting. Like Gunslingers at high noon. Snow is falling around them like cherry blossoms. Then Giullia strikes and Hooch’s blood mixes with the snow. Hooch falls to his knees.
That is the Despoiler’s moment to fire. Gunshots break the silence and peace of the blizzard.
There is a flash of light as the guards up on the wall point their searchlight on the scene. Giullia is still standing but badly shot, her entourage lying dead behind her.
The Despoilers scream and rush the Maestro’D.
