Everytime at the Table: Spacers 180° 'Asteroid Fixes'

 Tales of the Arcadia "The Asteroid-End of the Solar System"

Well Robin (Peryton) had a date with Joe-Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail-Girl, but Ben (Just Ben), Curtis (Iron Curtis), and Brett (Kal Luin) wanted some Spacers last night. While the work week, over 36 hours!, has been tiring, I was glad by the end of the session that they insisted. The Characters were Alezander Deju, Odo Maximus, and Steev Sagus

The Arcadia accompanied the Hop model craft, Stardust to its base of origin SGS-7 grouping of asteroids. This being the homeland of Steev Sagus, the fourth son, and ninth child of an even dozen, of the Sagus Clan of Rix humans, we got to meet my cast of his family. Great-Shown (Sean for short) the fiefdom's Patron. Hilda-Mom, the Lady and mother. PedXing (the oldest brother), then One Stop (Steev's closest sibling), Phreddi (Steev's rival sibling) and a cast of dozens which I didn't give names to. Throughout the game, the player-group's NPCs, Nextremi 37Gal QixtarChief Bloom, and Doctor Orlando were in the mix. I think that all the NPCs, whether of note or not, were handled quite well as well by yours truly, ME. Too long an intro already, by the end of the scene, the PCs were shacked up in decent digs, if a bit chilly, and our Manatee-class spaceship was in a repair bay. A big social gathering at Dinner was twelve hours away.

Rix days are 30 hours long. 0600 being breakfast. 0900-1800 Work. 1900 Dinner. 2300-3000 Leisure. 0100-0530 Night shift. Our Spacers showed up at 0700 hours or there about-- I know, I rolled a D30. Now I had notes for the scenario filling up all 30 hours, but only four paths would be taken. My PCs did not disappoint. 

Steev would help form how a Space-Sage meditates. We played with the SHRUG mechanic.
Alezander got into some steam in the kitchen with an older man. 
Maximus refined his roll as kick-ass while being a babysitter. 

In short, boundaries are meant to be crossed. 
Alezander Deju would make out with Steev's father. Steevimussus "Steev" Sagus learned that his family were siding with the UK (the Panni) versus EARTH CENTRAL in this 812 War. Maximus would kick some ass, finally, after trying to follow Nextremi into bathing areas but not in a sexual way, getting everyone back to the Arcadia before the HULCHERs showed up.




The fourth path, ever forgotten player NPC Stewart Medium-Sized would use up all the hot water in The Arcadia during the events of play. He was "Shower-Bath-Shower"ing (See Cowboy Bebop).
