So, just finished up with a session that I think was the best one yet:
The setting was a haunted hospital, and I used horror movie logic to split up the characters and put them back together for plenty of dramatic scenes.
Through it all, the Janus stayed in her secret identity. She’s not out to any of her teammates and worked really hard to stay that way even in the face of a provocative Bull who suspects that his masked rival and the girl he knows from school are the same person.
It’s clear from the way this session was going that her reluctance to share her identity with any of her teammates is a great source of potential drama for us to explore going forward–So i ended with a cliffhanger to highlight that. As the four other members of the team were hanging out with the Janus who they didn’t know was their teammate, enjoying their triumph over the ghostly hospital, the Janus’s masked identity shows up, greets her teammates, and apologizes for missing the fun. Cue in-character surprise from Janus and out-of-character surprise from all of the players.
I”m looking forward to next week as they unravel the mystery of this doppelganger.
