Note: This is a case of not trusting any spirits. As Hondo Posted long ago, the "Wessens" were created a Spirit group doing DNA manipulation on humans and animals, creating them to be a slave race. The Spirits involved may not be the Texas Spirits, but as spirits, Karl, and many other Wessens (Tony and Zoe included) will not trust them. Mavis admitting that she is a Spirit unknowingly threw a wrench of distrust into what working relationship she would have had with Karl and the others.

Nothing to do here. If she got them in a trade, she got them in a trade. Despite being thrown back into the 1800's in terms of many technologies, people can rebuild from what they had if they have something to build from. Medical technology is iffy at best. A PET/CAT/MRI scan will be hard to do as they require a few extra things, like radioactive tracers.to be picked up by the device, but X-rays will still exist. But bandages, splints, et al - those are easy to do if they have something to copy from.

This does not answer my question. Does it matter why the request was made? Is the request approved or not? That is the question.

Note: It is established that Jeanette traded thirty self-adhesive bandages and she got a pair of Lister bandage scissors. There was more to it than that; for the sake of my request, that's all that's relevant.

My question is should something that has been established be changed without it being explained in the story as to how it is changed? If it is, I believe other players need to know what change is requested, know if it impacts other parts of the story, how and make a decision to approve the change or not.

Also, should this be added to the rules? I can write a draft of the rule before it is decided.

The bandages and bandage scissors mentioned have not been used in another part of the story. Therefore no other part of the story needs to be changed for continuity reasons.

Jeanette Isabelle

As I see the question, if any player's characters are involved in a trade of goods and services, that they should list what they traded/worked/bargained for?

The answer is yes, but it is a working list for the character to work on. The character does not need to tell the other characters what they got or how much it costed, and can even lie if they want to hide something.

In that no rule should be set as because it is how a character's persona works and interacts with others.

The major point in this, the list has to be stated so that they can not say they got/use something they do not have have from such a trade. Example:

I think there are 6 Giant Mutant Chicken eggs in the food collection, lets use 6 as a number if I am wrong. Mavis can not say that she made an omelet out of 8 of those eggs when only 6 exists. (one of those eggs alone can make an omelet that can feed everyone.) Where did those two extra eggs came from? Listing the bartered inventory prevents this from happening. But I think no update in the rules is needed for this, what ever the object.

Did I answer your question correctly?

Karl: typical! Your kind always acts innocent. Just leave me alone!

With that Karl walked away down the path a ways. He could see Valentine and the girls fairly well here. There was getting to be too many of these so called spirits. Was one a spy? Were they close to being wiped out? Should he run?? It was either Dino shit or science project, both leading to a painful death.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Mavis has no knowledge of this since it is not in Jeanette's journal. Being from Charlton, she never heard of a Wesen. The only mutant sub category she knows of is Haibane, mutants with angel wings. To her, Karl is a regular mutant.

Not that it matters to Karl. Mavis is not one of the Texas Spirits. Her family is from Wallachia, part of what is now Romania.

"Acting innocent?" Mavis is surprised as she sees Karl walk off.

Humans have murdered Mavis' mom; Mavis does not believe all humans are bad.

From my POV, I don't think it is necessary.

I think if a change is made to the continuity, it needs to be done with the approval of other players. Otherwise it opens a door to changes being done willy-nilly. Jeanette Isabelle

Fernando gets up and pops the top of the electric camper for more air which will be heated from the propane heater under it and goes back to sleep.
