Because of the excess concentration of the Moth Principle, in a small period of time a special action is performed:

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:28

[X] Trying to paint a picture. Focusing on the knowledge you discover, the memory of the Wood, and the quiet buzzing in your head, you cut off a strand of hair and use it instead of a brush, letting lead your hand. This can both turn a painting into a useful object and irrevocably ruin it. (1d100 for the result, no bonuses)

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:29

Required: ???. Roll: 47.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:30

Result: 20<47<50 - Half of the number is added to the original Creation of Art result.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:30

Required: 20/40/60/80/95. Roll: 30 x 1.5 (Emotional Fountain) + 5 (Vivid Imagination) + 5 (Painter) + 23 (47/3 from trying to finish painting) + 2 (1d6 from A Barber's Warning) + 5 (Buzzing in the Brain)= 85 Passage of 4 grade!

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:33

Ignoring the rustling of wings that exists only in your head, you step away from the easel, looking at your creation with a skeptical eye. A moment later, though, you nod contentedly: The moths look alive, and the scissors stuck in the trees draw the eye and create just the right contrast. Even with a close look, it's hard to focus on anything in particular, and if you look away, it's easy to believe that the moths are moving, changing their position while no one is looking.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:36

You didn't have the necessary pigment and skill to create a true Masterpiece of the Hour, but what came out from your brush can definitely be considered a successful draft. It is, after all, an ordinary painting, but no one with eyes would say that this piece does not have a certain vibe...

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:37

Obtained item: Picture with the mood "Moths". Is not an artifact and therefore cannot be used in rituals, but is capable of creating the right mood. (A new voting option is available: "Observing Moths")

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:38

The "Buzzing in the Brain" influence is depleted!

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:39

Because of reaching the limit of Enlightenment, which the fragile human mind cannot handle, a throw to the consequences is made:

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:39

Required: ???. Roll: 96.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:39

You blink sleepily, pulling your head away from the surface it was lying on.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:46

You have a closed notebook in front of you, awakening vague memories, and it's barely dawn outside the window. It looks like you fell asleep at your desk, barely finished with... what?

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:47

Covered in a cold sweat, you frantically try to retrieve the memory of what you were doing after you left the painting to dry. It was definitely some thought, an idea that came suddenly, and you had to write it down urgently before the understanding was lost.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:48

You picked up a notebook and a pen, and then... Then you woke up in the morning on your own desk in front of a notebook filled to the brim with not very clear musings about some kind of revelation that had come upon you. Besides, that fleeting feeling that had filled the mind for the past weeks was gone. In return, all that was left was a sense of your own mental inferiority.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:49

(Received "Mysterious Revelation," a notebook with incomprehensible notes strongly resembling the ravings of a madman, marked with a drawing of a moth in a circle, the top of which is crossed by four lines. The influence of " Enlightenment" is completely depleted).

The sick leave is over, and you have to go back to school. In the case of Winslow High, it's a snake pit of fodder from various gangs, informals of all stripes, and generally aggressive, and in some places intimidated, teenagers in the prime of puberty.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:50

According to unofficial statistics, one in two has a knife, knuckles, or other means of harming his neighbor in his pocket. (-1 mind action per turn for study, +1 pocket means every 2nd study week (To be gained at end of turn))

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:51

You have two! body actions (B), three mind actions (M) (-1 to study) and three feeling actions (F). You have 16 funds at your disposal (all available savings).

Drumming the fingers of your left hand on the low tabletop, you write down in your personal diary the results achieved over the past week. Despite the obvious successes, a few thin spots have been identified that threaten problems in the near or distant future.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:55

Once you'd set the point, the only lamp in the room flickered, only to stabilize a few seconds later.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:56

A minute later, the sheet with plans for further projects was adorned with a new terse entry: "Wire?"

[X] (B) This body is mine. All of these rites and rituals are quite traumatic, not to mention sacrifices. Yes, and some knowledge, as well as much more than some practices, hurts the one who learns and performs them. You need a much sturdier and stronger body so that you don't have to go to the emergency room after every vein you open. Exercise should do you good, and the dumbbells dug out from under the rubble in your room are already helping in no small way. Requires 4 passes, 80% chance of success. (On completion, +1 body action, increase vitality.)

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:58

Required: 20. Roll: 29 + 10 (Decreasing Growth Burst) + 5 (Vitality) = 44 Pass!

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 11:59

"Forty-nine... Fifty!" You breathe heavily, falling to the floor, having finished your fifth set of push-ups. Repeating the exhausting exercises over and over again exhausts your body but the tangible results are worth it. Not so long ago you could do barely half of your current number in almost every kind of exercise.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:00

With the little space you have and the limited tools you have, there's not much you can do. Probably a couple or three sets of exercises from the depths of the Internet could help with building the right muscles, but it's hard to know what benefit or harm they could do.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:01

We can only hope that the repetition of the usual school exercises will not screw anything up.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:01

[X] (T) The abode of dust and junk. Now that you've got something as valuable as this suitcase in the attic, what else can you find if you dig hard enough? But first, you have to make general cleaning and replace the light bulb, otherwise you risk staying there and waiting for the next treasure hunter. Requires 1 pass, 80%/50%/10% chance of success.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:03

Required: 20/50/90. Roll: 34 + 5 ( Vitality ) = 39 Pass of the first degree!

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:03

By spending an order of magnitude of time, you remove the age-old dust that covers all attic surfaces. A sprayer of water and a huge amount of wet rags are invaluable in preventing a dust storm that could have rendered the entire room uninhabitable.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:06

At last, the last corner of the ceiling is stripped of its dusty cobweb cover, and the last piece of furniture cover sewn from sheets is sent to the washing machine. You remove the remaining cleaning supplies from the attic, plug a new light bulb into the socket, and for the first time in an inconceivable amount of time, the room lights up.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:08

Rolling up your sleeves, you start sorting through the things you find in the attic, sorting into two piles what can still be used, and what you would be ashamed to haul to the trash even on a moonless midnight. The latter mostly consisted of overly broken furniture, moth-eaten clothes, and a couple of jars of something unrecognizably disgusting. Just in case you checked, you made sure this stuff had nothing to do with any of the Principles you knew. But you could probably get a lot of jail time for possessing it: the smell alone is enough to be a chemical-biological weapon of mass destruction.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:11

Among the useful items remained a few quality pieces of furniture, such as a worn and battered by time but the still strong antique sofa, an antique coffee table with an indelible suspicious stain on the lid, a pair of elegant chairs with broken backs ... And of course a memorable four-barrelled closet.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:12

After going through the smaller things, like cans and empty boxes, you slipped the red wig over the mannequin's coat-clad torso and went back to the closet.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:13

A thorough search yielded nothing, as the inside was completely empty, but you didn't give up hope, and after a while your diligence was rewarded: in a pile of waste paper lying around, a small handwritten magazine with a blue cover was found.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:14

The title had faded long ago, but you could make out the outlines of the letters that formed the words "something" and "mysterious". Inside, unfortunately, was not the Secret Knowledge you had hoped for, but low-grade porn with too many references to pantaloons and frills, interspersed with whining about the obsolescence of modern morality. Considering that this is probably about the century before last, you might even be inclined to agree with the author.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:17

After a quick flip through the ancient graphomania to the end to make sure that further text is unchanged (and useless), you notice a dark circle resembling a coin drop out of the notebook. After wiping it on the edge of a soiled T-shirt, the surface reveals an intricate scene of three people having sex. You smirk: It's not every day you get paid for cleaning with silver.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:18

(Received: "Something something DEEP MYSTERIES something," a late nineteenth-century pornographic graphomania. Useless on its own, but you can try to sell it to some connoisseur; Silver Spintria, the currency of the secret world; A cleaned-out attic to which you've dragged everything related to the mystical arts except your diary. - Bonus to stealth when attempting to incriminate yourself in the occult).

[X] (F)Way: The Wood.I've learned the path to the Wood, tangled darkness that grows around the walls of the Mansus (thought the Mansus has no walls). I can Dream with this to return to the Wood. Requires 1 pass, 90% chance of success.

Camrad_RIP 10.06.22 в 12:23

Required: 10. Roll: 18 x 1.5 (Emotional Fountain) + 5 (Initiate) + 6 (1d6 from "The Watchman's Secret") + 5 (Vivid Imagination) = 43 Pass!

//...Now I pass between scar-barked trees. The moon passes behind branches, though her fingers remain in my hair. I am stumbling over roots, now. It is tempting to drop to all fours, to avoid the low branches. Pale wings move, deep in the night.
