my brave and cheerful galliard coggie spent the whole game terrified that the other gaian garou were going to kill her

the warleader took her aside and asked if she was a sympathizer or had fallen to wyrm

and has no idea how to prove she hasn't

so she was miserable thinking they didn't trust her

because she spent too long in aa BSD's head

but she was doing her job, even though it was scary and hard, and now they're mad at her?

sad sad puppy

then, later, we needed to get some information out of everyone's minds

and she's the only one with mind speak

the warleader asked me how many people I could link together and I answered that was based on spending willpower, so five

turnd out the player has a free willpower refill card

so we spend all of mine, refill and then spend more

and link together 9 people instead of the normal max of 5

with my character holding it all together. everything any of them sees or hears, she does

so we do that andshare memories and figure out the puzzel and the war leader wants me to keep the net up for the combat

all the while, my character can feel her mental walls being eroded

the Sts set a timer, and if I had it up still while it went off, her mind woul dhave exploded and her phobia would have spread to everyone in the link suddenly and violently

but she was observant enough to notice it was happening and disciplined enough to hold it together long enough to get stuff done before dropping the lin before she exploded

there was a philodox she'd talked to earlier, expresisng how aweful it was being in the BSD's head and how afraid she was to go into minds again

and he totally saw her do the mindlink even though she was obviously scared

and he pointed that out later, that she did her job even though it almost drove her crazy
