You are a Half-God Detective, a nWOD-based adventure

[BlueMagic]

All around you lies the detritus of last night. Vomit, urine, and toilet paper are everywhere. You have your clothes on, thankfully. But you have a marker beard...on your forehead. And you're snuggling your blonde friend who is a girl, Gania. You hope to whatever god that helped birth you(You can remember that in between splitting headaches, you have a god as either a momma or daddy somewhere), that nobody took lesbian pictures of you but then again the reality is probably that the pictures are already on the internet. Well, at least the werewolves kept themselves in check. You don't need new furniture, although you just tripped over a dullahan's head. God, those Dullahan's heads' grins are creepy.

You hunt around for a brush to brush your scruffy brown hair.

Le sigh, you can't even remember your name!
What is it?

>Your name is now JANIE PIERSON.

You are a SUPERNATURAL DETECTIVE who should be FAMOUS for all the crap they're put through on a daily basis. You'd like to say HARRY DRESDEN has nothing on you, that the things you pull off would earn a PAT ON THE BACK from DR. BRINNER, that the ANHK-MORPOK WATCH would QUIVER IN THEIR BOOTS at the things that threaten the TOWN you unofficially PROTECT, but a TINY VOICE in the back of your mind reminds you that WHAT YOU FACE ARE USUALLY SMALL TIME compared to those. Also the WATCH are NOT SUPERNATURAL DETECTIVES.


Gania is already cleaning up the place. She's LUCKY that she NEVER GETS HANGOVERS. Which is good for a SECRATARY you contanstly party with. the DULLAHAN'S HEAD has even been moved someplace else! Such a NICE FRIEND. But what do you expect from someone's who's FATHER was BALDUR? Too bad like BALDUR, she recieves the worse parts of the JOB you do. Mainly GETTING KIDNAPPED BY CREEPY FAE PRINCES, willfully getting a 100 YEAR CURSE meant for you(Thankfully it was repelled) and also CLEANING YOUR TOLIET WHEN A TROLL TAKES A HUGE SHIT IN IT. Also GETTING STABBED IN THE FACE WITH A SHARP STICK MADE OF MISTLETOE. All without a GRUMBLE or COMPLAINT.
She's a bro.

You step in some THROW-UP. Lovely. Eww, is that a used condom you were lying on?
You survey your room.
It's a DUMPY FLAT. The PARTY ROOM has FLUFFY BLUE CARPET(The guy whoyou BOUGHT IT FROM was a pimp DOWN ON HIS LUCK), with TACKY BRIGHT YELLOW RED POLKA DOTTED WALLPAPER that was TORN UP in the PARTY, a DESK WITH DRAWERS with a DUMPY MAGICAL TV THAT'S FIFTEEN YEARS OLD, the TRASHY WHITE COUCH, and finally an OPENING TO THE KITCHEN.
Your LAPTOP was VANDLIZED with weird reproductive parts you can't name, stupid words, and finally some phone numbers you're not even going to try to call.

Wat do?

[Stripe]

Try and clean off your laptop. When that fails, just go ahead and check your e-mails or something.

[Nust]

>Eat fluffy blue carpet

>Barring that, attempt to search up the numbers on your laptop for interesting clues.

>Examine MAgical television

>Grab Gania and dance the night away

[BlueMagic]

>Eat fluffy blue carpet

That's gross. No.

Try and clean off your laptop. When that fails, just go ahead and check your e-mails or something.

Welp, better clean off your beloved Vimes, your laptop. Your head is a little clearer now, thankfully. You drag yourself over to the kitchen. Genia is cleaning off the counter with some orange-scented cleaning fluid. That counter looks spotless, but you're too hung over to appreciate her hard work. You grab a rag from the sink and some sprau. You wet the rag in your hand slightly and run it through the water once. You shut it off. Gotta conserve water! You use the window to take a look at your face. Wow. That beard is really something.

You tie your hair up in a ponytail to keep it out of the way.

You walk back to the room and begin to clean the top of the laptop. You spray it and rub it. Please no permanent marker please no permanent marker you paid a lot of money for ol'Vimes, please don't ruin Vimes!

>Barring that, attempt to search up the numbers on your laptop for interesting clues.

...



wwelp first image and it sucks oh well

>Examine MAgical television

You put that deep in the recesses of your MENTAL QUEUE right after TAKE A NICE CLEAN SHOWER

>Grab Gania and dance the night away

You're too hung over to TRY.

[Nust]

>Go ahead and take that shower. Take pics

Use your detective skill to work out what happened during the party.

Also, if it's not imposing too much, could you tell us if by supernatural detective you mean you're a private detective, or do you run with some members of the Vigil? If so for the Vigil, what group? I mean, I can imagine the Loyalists of Thule being interested in a supernatural detective. Also, any supers as contacts? Because a member of the Mekhet clan would come in especially useful for a PD to know; you know, with the spirit's touch and astral projection and invisibility and such

((Well it's based on WOD. It's a lighter and softer version but True Fae are still nightmarishly scary in this, for example. Tents fingers?))

Ah yes, you didn't feel you established what sort of detective you were. You're a private detective who specializes in the Supernatural, so you guess you are a Supernatural Detective?

You HATE the Loyalists of Thule. They normally don't bug Scions of benign or small gods like you. Normally. But woe be to the Scions of the gods of death/chaos/debauchery/insert word with negative connotation here, who are constantly hunted by Hunters on a daily basis. You tried to join the Loyalists of Thule. Then you saw their cannibalistic diets weren't balanced. Fruit loops aren't very healthy for you. You decided to leave the Loyalists of Thule by doing a real-life version of "Thriller" with actual zombies and monsters. During the ensuring chaos you snuck out and flipped off the building

You know a few clients who were the victims of crimes traced to Hunters.
There's a almost painful ton of legal nonsense associated with them, as technically they aren't part of the supernatural justice system, being a mostly human-associated group. Stupid Masquerade for requiring a loophole that says humans aren't under whatever the hell the supernatural Constitution is called, and stupid loophole for saying that Scions don't count as humans. Not like the legal system is enforced much. You suppose there's no equivalent of the 14th amendment in it yet, which would explain why Vampires and Mages and Changelings and Geniuses and Sin-Eaters and Promethians are running around committing crimes at such a fast rate. You're not too sure on werewolves.

Yes, you have supers as contacts. Another reason why you left. Because the Hunters tried to kill them. You have Mekhets as contacts, indeed! They're kinda creepy and don't like the sun. All vampires are kinda creepy and don't like the sun but these guys are the worst when it comes to that.

Where you were you? Oh right, trying to figure out what happened in the party.

It seems as though you had a party for some reason. You guess it was because you foiled the evil schemes of those weird New Age Hippies, in which they tried to murder a prominent Mage who was locked in a coma, by attempting to break into the hospital with crazy weaponry involving a gun that shot mice with rabies, a gun that was probably stolen from Deadpool if he existed. However through cunning and Changeling debts you got some Ogres to stop them. To think that it started when you were hired to find said rabid mice-shooting gun and crazy weaponry from a Genius and it ended up stopping hippies who had stolen them was amazing. This is probably your most epic moment yet, so of course you threw a party.

Now then, seems as though the party members partied too hard, because of the graffiti on your laptop. Someone wrote some crazy nonsense about "Five Birds and a Fairy" on the walls.

NO PICS TOO BAD.

It could be THAT GUY'S handwriting. You never know, really. It's curvy and shit, so maybe he's trying to seduce you? What?

Are there any Loci, Hallows, or Sacred Ground nearby that you know of? As well as Elysiums? And do you know of any access points for the Hedge? It always helps to know exactly where to take injured clients so that they can be taken care of by their own kind. Don't need a hungry vamp waking out of torpor and nomming your neck.

Make a note that you need the following things (if you don't have them already):
Mace: because it blinds your opponents and gives them serious penalties to attack, defend, and, if they are a werekin, scent you. Works on everyone except the proper undead, like vamps, prometheans, gheists, zombies. If you can't get real mace, soak chilli peppers in high percentage alchohol and then use a squirt bottle with the resulting liquid. It works nearly as well.
Stakes: because they work on EVERYTHING. A stake to the heart paralyses vamps, and kills everything else.
Peppermint or aniseed essence in small test tubes: If you ever feel that you're being hunted by werekin, scent bombs used in a busy place will make it impossible for them to track you by smell.

Review your current case list.

You already have that stuff except for peppermint. Which you ate all of....ugh.

You have no files of which to speak of, so you decide to think about................HIM.

That DAMN True Fae....

Wait, you do have a case list. It's filled with shit about Slashers, Vampires, and Mages.

SUGGESTIONS:
>Investigate "Five Birds" grafitti
>Look into the Slasher Case
>Look into the Vampire Case
>Look into the Mage Case

((lol, a half-godling who hangs with changelings being harassed by a member of the true fey? Genius!))
>Remember to not piss off the True Fey, even if he is really annoying. Because having something angry at you that not only lacks empathy but has had thousands of years to perfect the art of sadism is never a good start.

>Go for the Graffiti, and then the Vamp case. Graffiti and Vamps go together sometimes, because it's a useful way to mark territory in a non-masquerade breaching fashion.

That Fae. He is a fruity, fun-loving dancer who dresses like Count Bleck. He's in love with you and is almost adorable about it. You have learned from experience that True Fae shouldn't be described as cute, because they aren't. They're horrifying. Oh, how you hate him so much. He always slows you down with his inane and mundane challenges. You wish you hadn't taken that Case with the nightmares. A Mage was accossted by nightmares they were nibbling at his soul. It turns out that the nightmares made a deal with the Fae for protection from interference. You slew the nightmares, but now the contract was broken. The Fae, pissed at you, swore on the Wyrd to bother you until your death.

Now he's an annoyance that wastes your time. You could just ignore him, but doing so causes him to escalate his annoying presence to a dangerous one by his threats to do horrible things to your friends.

You wish True Fae were killable in a manner that didn't require you attention.

They feed on attention. They are magical attention whores, you think.

Off the top of your head, this doesn't look like any clans you know. Then again, five birds could refer to anything. Five assassins, Five clans, Five mages, Five anything.

You check the vampire case. A close Mekhet contact has been accosted bothered by a strange woman with icy features, like "cold eyes", "freezing skin", and a "snowflake crown", as well as "dark bluish grey hair that was long enough to be touchable". She likes to take the form of birds and favors attacking from the snow. Literally. She becomes snow and attacks her.
She also tries to stab her in the heart with a never-melting icicle.

This is odd...

>Wonder if there's an Ice Rink nearby...

[BlueMagic]

>Wonder if there's an Ice Rink nearby...

You stare into the swirling crystal ball gifted to you by HIM. He gave it to you on a whim, and it's never not been useful. Only scions of your god can use it. You do see there's a rink, and that same mysterious snow symbol.

You're starting to wonder about that snow symbol.

[Navigatorblack]

Sounds like the changeling winter court is getting uppety again. Muse of winter? Queen of winter? Depends on how they define themselves around here. But totally go to the rink.

[Nust]

>OFF TO THE RINK TO RUMBLE

[BlueMagic]

>OFF TO THE RINK TO RUMBLE

Sounds like the changeling winter court is getting uppety again. Muse of winter? Queen of winter? Depends on how they define themselves around here. But totally go to the rink.

You highly doubt the Winter Court getting uppity at all. They try to be ninjas and hide from attention, not spotniasoly attack vampires who don't care about them. Even if they did have some issues with the vampire, surely they wouldn't try to do frequent and often ineffective attacks on them outright. But you cannot predict the supernatural.

You bid Gainia goodbye, take your car, and drive over to the rink. It is amazing how the rink is so hueg. You are standing in the lot.

Wat do?

[Nust]

>Break a car window
>Spraypaint everything
>Curse out people from the sidewalk
>Jump on your car and fortell The End
>Get into the rink, ready for fighting.
