Question regarding the skill! Does the secret have to be actually factual? I'm assuming that 'genuine' means 'something that is actually legitimately on the low-down', so if for example Skye has some incorrect information that he thinks is fact (but is actually false) and is a genuine secret, and he shares that - does that qualify for the skill?

[powersthatare]

As long as he is acting in good faith, and the other player is aware of the possibility for error, that is fine!

[cloudpotter]

Another question on the skill!

So say Skye's been given a message, and it's heavily implied that that message shouldn't be shared - does that message count as a secret?

icon because i have nothing generic for these questions

[powersthatare]

Yes!

For next week: a sinkhole will open up in town, providing access to some of the burned and buried ruins beneath town.

In light of that: what's been up this week, and what plans for next week?

[cloudpotter]

He will livestream he and Kris exploring those ruins with their dog.

This week, the important things he's done are a broadcast of Maria's possession of their dog (providing information on Zed, Bernkastel, and Sinister Plans to anyone with an Internet connection) and made sure everyone he can wrangle knows about weird things happening in Harrogate.

Next week, he's going to continue buddying up to all the strangers in town to find out why they're so weird and also continue trying to make everyone in town aware of the Ghost King and his Vizier. While also continuing to put on the Internet absolutely every strange thing that happens. He may try to hold an open forum night at the museum to get people in to talk about those ruins + everything else happening.

Starting in week 3, there will be far more ghosts everywhere, the living and the dead can communicate directly in dreams, and MI6 will quarantine the town.

Let us know if anything else significant has happened this week / any other plans you have for next week!

Nothing big happened last week! Went into the hole, uploaded a bunch of footage to the Internet, went into the theater, uploaded a whole... 15min of footage to the Internet (including creepy children ghosts singing).

This mingle, he'll be putting out on every blog, channel, and Twitter account he has that Harrogate is being shut down and cut off from the world. He'll put out a bunch of British politician's contact info and urge the Internet to flood them with mail demanding answers for why Harrogate is being cut off, and he'll be putting up a post drawing parallels between what records say happened in 1897, what Alcuin suggested in Week 1 on Yolotube, and what's happening now. He'll also be printing this speech out and stuffing it in everyone's mailboxes in Harrogate.

Exorcising the sinkhole/theater is over here. Preemptive blessing of cameras and other objects can happen during the meeting part or can be handwaved as having been done, your choice.

[cloudpotter]

Oh, and he will also be very quickly calling some Properly Qualified People to come and investigate and catalog those ruins. Gotta keep that sweet, sweet history intact.
