Another Merry ChrisMASKS love letter I’ve sent out to a player, the Beacon named Fletcher Loxley (who recently upgraded his codename from Captain Bowmaster to General Bowmaster).
Dear Fletch,
All right, big shot. You’re alive and out of jail. And you’re a general now, apparently. But what will you do when the battle comes home to you?
Fletch wakes up at Kevin’s parents’ garage, and gets a confused recap of the rescue mission from Kevin—and Craig (?) and apparently Katya was involved but also Red Cent turned up (?!) and something big happened with the mayor… but the biggest thing Fletch hears is something disturbing about his parents. What happened in the mayor’s office after he jumped into the painting? Fletch races home to find out.
Back home everything seems…weirdly unchanged. Bart is reading the paper, Evelyn is making spaghetti. But it all seems a little too normal, like that one film of your grandfather’s, “The Stridebridge Husbands.” Tell us about some very usual details here that now strike you as disturbing.
Of course you want to get to the bottom of this…but also a part of you doesn’t, since your parents seem totally unstressed and fine for the first time in a while and your dad isn’t even taking issue with your superheroing. Roll +Savior and -Mundane, that is, +1.
On a hit, ask the GM a question that he will answer honestly. Then tell us how you uncovered the answer.
On a 10+, take +1 forward on one of your parents. How are you preparing for facing off with them in one way or another?
On a 7-9, you get your answer, but it costs you. What aspect of normal life can’t be the same for Fletch anymore? Why is this important to you?
On a miss, you give away a teammate’s secret while attempting to investigate. How? Whose secret? Mark an appropriate condition. What grand gesture are you now planning to make it up to them?
Merry Christmas, Fletcher Loxely.
XXOO,
Your GM
P.S.: Waiting to find out if you’re on the naughty or nice list, other Salvatores? Sit tight, you’ll know soon enough…
