Fighting a trio of vampires in an abandoned glass foundry to free my younger sister while wearing nothing but a Black Sabbath T-shirt and panties was the last place I expected my Mortal to be in last night's Monsterhearts session. But that just means it was awesome, right?

What I want to know is how those details came to be. You are in a glass foundry... Did you go there dressed thusly? If not, how did you lose your pants? I'm picturing some kind of teenage shenanigans which ends up in nudity. Then something happens and said character scrambles for clothes, getting half of someone else's and missing various pieces lost in the dark. Either way, kudos. It's hard to be a bad ass when you have no pants.

It's also pretty hard to be a bad ass when you're a teenager in MonsterHearts.

It's also pretty hard to be a bad ass when you're a teenager in MonsterHearts. This is very true. What I want to know is how those details came to be. I meant to get back to this sooner, but real life has a nasty habit of getting in the way of game-related stuff. Even something as simple as making a forum post. :\ Here's a how events unfolded. It's long as shit, but everything's interconnected. This took place over three sessions, but was only a single night of game time. - There's a party at the local hangout spot tonight, a pool hall.
- Deirdre, my Mortal PC, agrees to meet her lover Daniel there so they can talk.
- Arsen, the Infernal PC, agrees to pick Dee up, then goes off to score some weed with Miriam, the police chief's daughter.
- Arsen and Miriam go back to his basement room, and knock boots while waiting to get a hold of Chad, his dealer.
- Dee goes home to get ready, but is forced to bring her 13 year old sister Cindy along to keep her quiet (mom works nights).
- Chad agrees to meet Arsen at the party, he and Miriam boost a car, and then head over to Dee's.
- Miriam gives Cindy something on the ride over, but Dee doesn't notice.
- Arsen spots Chad and goes out back to make some deals.
- Dee discovers Cindy took something, and confronts Miriam about it.
- Daniel shows up, and Dee goes over to talk to him; Miriam heads to the bathroom.
- Dee confronts Daniel about sleeping with guys since they're supposed to be dating.
- Miriam stumbles out the back door and collapses next to the dumpster, interrupting Arsen and Chad.
- Miriam enters a drug-induced seizure, and Chad bolts.
- The Butcher, Arsen's Dark Power, says it needs a heart; Arsen cuts out Miriam's with a chunk of glass.
- Back inside the bar, Daniel walks out on Dee ignoring her demands to the contrary.
- Dee turns to see some dude making out with her underage sister; it's that douche bag Rob.
- The Butcher it needs Miriam's heart inside Arsen, and he begins to eat it.
- Dee storms over to knock this asshole flat, then notices Cindy is pale and has blood trickling from her neck.
- Dee grabs a pool cue, snaps it in half, and goes for Rob. Unsuccessfully.
- The bar explodes in panics, people flee, and Arsen comes back inside because of the commotion.
- John, Rob's friend, goes for Arsen, trips, cracks his head on the side of a pool table, and lays with his neck at an odd angle.
- Rob has Dee by the throat, but has dropped Cindy.
- Arsen grabs the dropped pool cue half and pins Rob to the wall through the shoulder with it.
- Police sirens sound in the distance, and Arsen and Dee grab a dazed Cindy and head out the back door.
- Dee trips over Miriam's corpse, landing nearly face first into the gaping hole in her chest.
- The trio stumble off into the woods, taking a shortcut to Arsen's house.
- Back in Arsen's basement room, Dee lays an unconscious Cindy on a beanbag chair.
- Arsen cleans up (he's covered in blood) in the upstairs bathroom.
- Dee sends Arsen to watch Cindy, cleans up, and puts on the Black Sabbath T-shirt as she has nothing else.
- Dee uses a pair of nail scissors to cut her inner thigh, using the pain to learn what Arsen is scared of (The Butcher).
- Arsen tries to seduce Dee just as she exits the bathroom, but ends up puking human heart into the sink instead.
- Dee tries to turn Arsen on by wiping away the blood puke, but he sees the blood running down her leg as asks if she's OK.
- Humiliated, Dee runs downstairs and Arsen follows. He points out the bean bag chair is too small for two people.
- Dee joins Arsen on his bed, where they eventually get it on.
- They wake up some time later to police sirens and an empty bean bag chair. Cindy's gone.
- Arsen and Dee make it out the back door and into the woods just as his aunt opens the front door.
- The left without grabbing anything; including Dee's clothes.
- After a bit, Dee borrows Arsen's pocket knife and cuts herself again to find out where Cindy is. (She goes up to one Harm.)
- Dee sees visions of Cindy, surrounded by glass and an orange fire glow, Rob, John, and Daniel's faces around her.
- Arsen breaks into another car, and the two head off to the abandoned glass factory.
- They sneak in through a hole in the chain link fence, and make their way inside.
- They hear Aerosmith's Walk This Way and voices coming from one of the rooms.
- Arsen grabs a length of chain and they push the doors open.
- They see Rob holding a pale Cindy, Daniel and John (who is now in a neck brace) nearby, and a pale terrified Taylor (John's sister and Rob's ex) in the corner
Edit: I realize no one give a shit about other people's PCs and I usually roll my eyes when people post long narrative about their characters. But I enjoyed typing that up. I'm really hoping we get to see Deirdre and Arsen again after a break playing something else.

I always enjoy monsterhearts stories. But I'm me.

I do too. But I think a big part of that is because I love playing the game.
