Or she could ask Robin. That also might work. Or, look at the caller id. :)

<snorts again> Like he'd actually make the mistake of not blocking it?

Anney had a point of the fact that caller id doesn't necessarily show cell
calls anyway.
Well, shes onto plan B anyway.\

She might have to break down and ask for *gasp* help from Piotyr. Maybe.

I'm not sure. She is usppowed to be SuperWoman and all. But she is still
aware enough of the fact that she probably ought not go out there by herself,
even if she doesn't want to risk anybody else....\

She could always try to convince herself that nothing bad could
possibly happen and she's just going to LOOK after all... <grins>

Huh? You're joking, surely?
Natasha has the DUBIOUS honor of being persued by a member of the
technocracy. Something about her runing away from him in the last
three lifetimes they had together, and not letting her do it this
time. He ordered, ORDERED her to meet him in three months in New
Zealand, then threatened to come and get her if she wasn't there . . .
Once again, who started this whole damn thing? Okay, so she's all but
admited she cares, but that's not the point . . . <smirks> she's been
accused of running away from things. Not true at all, I tell ya.

Gwynne knows that all she's going to do is look. That's all she wants to do,
and that shouldn't do her any damage at all. But in case, she would like to
have somebody else there. She hasn't gone *THAT* nutso yet!

Just asking. <grins>
So, recently Lil Miss Claire took a curse off her boyfriend, Chris, the
curse's existence derailing her from noticing that he said that he had
been shot three times in three months- the Lil Miss only knows about
two occasions...
That and her kidnapping wasn't too traumatic, she didn't really know
she had been kidnapped till it was all over. Though she's rather amused
to know she's worth $2,000,000.
Oh and she needs a new hobby... Learning to drive like a race car
driver was good... but she doesn't have a good car to race in. She and
I think this situation needs to change. So Claire will become a car
geek for a little while. <grins>

Oh, that'll be really amusing :)
Natasha has learned I think, just how much people are trying to care
about her, and how much they can't stand her at the same time. It's
not supposed to bother her, but it kinda does. I mean, she wanted to
keep people at arm's length, right? Well, it's kinda working, so far.
Perhaps she's just afriad of caring too much about people, then getting
screwed (in the figurative sense, of course) in the end? If nothing
else, she's resolved to end her time in Roanoke, which she believes to
be about up, by making sure she actually leaves on a good note.
Whatever Emory told her while he was there the second time, and a
reaction from a drunken newcomer, she at least realizes she should
probably tone it down a little. 'Course, no one seems to notice that
she has of late--they conveniently forget--unless they're trying to get
down to busines and someone pulls something stupid.
And, of course, lest we forget, she's feeling somewhat hemmed in. They
haven't been anywhere lately, and teh kidnapping an shinanigans in
London notwithstanding, she hasn't had much excitement. So, in the
spirit of personal development and craving for arenaline, she taken up
Marial art-private lessons with at a very good dojo. And skydiving and
rock climbing are among her agenda items.
But, then, there is the magic side. Emory basically gave her a list of
things he wanted her to know by the next time they met, aside from some
self-examination. (Boy, who does he think HE is). His instructions?
Learn the Life sphere, or at least learn how to use it. She already on
her way to higher level mind magic (in players' terms, Mind Trois), and
Forces [4] is not that far behind. After that, maybe Prime 2 and then
the Arete Quest? In the meantime, some of her abilities and talents
have certainly gotten stronger.
Have a topic for you: People that bring their personal problems into
game. We just had an example of that Tuesday night. How would you
handle it? If anyone needs to know the scenario, either the Storyteller
or myself can give you details.

Sometimes it can work all right, but the whole point of role playing is to
be somebody different from who you are in real life. So don't go bringing
your shit into game.

Tis true, tis true . . . and most people do not. One of the ways I
have found, if it's just getting out of control, is to call a break and
let everyone go take the bathroom break, smoke break, etc., and have
the GM deal with them. Because if you try and halt game and deal with
it yourself, or, worse, try to deal with it within the game via your
own character, it may make things more complicated

Smoke break good... specially if the quarrel is between spouses.
<huffs> Currently kinda irked with my ST (not with myself though, cause
you all know I'm fabulous. ;) ) in a Mage game... But it's lunch time,
so I'll to elaborate further later... if I remember.

Oh . . . gotcha . . .Yeah . . . Annoyed, that's saying it ncely.
Really, I think it was bloody frustrating, but if we just occassionally
have separate meetings with her, it might get easier.
