Session 1: Game Summary

The Course of Events

 
* Lunar New Year social mixer at the Cinnamon Tree in Oakland, Simone, having recently been laid off again but feeling kind of guilty about it decides to treat herself to a Groupon thing. She feels bad about leaving her mom at home, but her mom insists she go alone. Simone is 65 and has never been married, and lives with her mother, so, uh, she goes.
 
* Meets Alex, is kinda distrustful of how he invites them back to his house right away.
 
* Once Alex transports us back to that “hospital,” Simone starts to remember who she is but feels desperately anxious about the responsibility she left behind in Grey: her mother. Even though she’s “A lie,” Simone is extremely conflicted about the idea that the important things in the Grey she was invested in no longer matter.
 
* Simone realizes she’s thinking of herself as “Simone,” not Alilaina, even though she remembers the truth of her younger age.
 
* Simone remembers why she left and gets extremely sulky that someone brought her back without her consent.
 
* Simone feels immediately vindicated when she finds out it was a trap, that Alex was creepy and her instincts were right, but that is immediately snuffed out by revulsion and horror.
 
* When she encounters the suffering engine, Simone screams and starts investigating rather than trying to fight.
 
* When Gwyn starts shooting the victims in the wall, Simone is desperate for him to stop, because she sees them as victims which have to be helped.
 
* She leaves, planning to try and come back when she can figure out how to help.
 
* She goes back to her childhood home, hoping a familiar face might ground her, but ended up butting heads with her Dad Dodd, who refuses to acknowledge the travesty of the war and just wants to bury it and move on.
 
* She leaves to go home, but finds it overrun with strangers. She meets Marcus, who doesn’t seem to have time for her, and he insists he lives there. She realizes she has to get to the bottom of this, but she just doesn’t want to deal with it.
 
* So she just kind of peaces out to find a familiar friendly face, and goes back to the home of her Weaver mentor, Prima, the leader of her cell.
