You sat down in your chair, watching as your new recruits settled in their new spots.
Nina was a small woman but she blazed with passion and heat, her every word said with fact and unashamed honesty. Luke was looking like he was here against his will as he furiously wiped down every surface with a cloth, the dust fled in terror. Helping him was Patricia, the youngest recruit, she was cheerfully putting up with Luke's waspish attitude as he cleaned.
Watching them all from his desk with an assessing gaze was Vincent. The man, from the reports you had been given, was supposed to be a wise cracking, line pusher. So far, he hadn't shown these qualities. Perhaps, being around those like him made him shy?
Standing, you walked out, ready to begin the first official day of SOB. God, help you.
You shut the door behind you with a blast of air that made everyone stand still.
"Welcome, people, to the Supernatural and Occult Bureau, you are the first of many to come. I expect great things from you people. We are the pioneers of a new system to deal with things that do not like systems," you said quietly into the silence.
Vincent stood and shoved his hands into his pockets.
"Groovy," he clicked and stuck a hand out. Amused, you took it and felt his skin was hot. Right, pyromancer...
You cleared your throat as the others nodded at you.
"There's no time to waste, we need to make an impact yesterday and work hard, a lot of eyes on us, folks. Don't let them stop you from doing your job. Welcome to SOB, the dark department."

Morale increased by 1(4 passes)+3 from leadership roll.
Morale goes down by 1 every turn. The grind of an endless job can turn the cheerful to the grim.

You gave them all a simple activity of introducing themselves, their previous department and a sample of their magic or knowledge of the underbelly of Gotham. Nina and Patricia both calmly showed off their powers and stepped back as Luke listed another wizard he knew and a pub where others gathered. Vincent cooked his bread as he waited.
It wasn't a deep soulful meeting but it served its purpose in creating the first links of a successful department.

Luke spent much time trying to talk to different people from different departments. Sadly, his idea of talking was to call their shoes ugly and to critically insult their growing paperwork. Many doors, just shut on him before he could learn anything.

Perhaps, it was your glare at his failure of being a decent spy but somehow, Luke managed to not only dig through a large amount of paperwork that had been sent to the office. Luke did it all with one cup of coffee and a glint in his eyes. Sometime later, Luke had emerged from the pile of paper and smiled. He knew exactly how the department could request aid from the others. You blinked at him. His hair was even messed yet the paperwork on the table had been meticulously dissected by some lawyer or devil.

You walked to Patricia's desk where the woman wasn't to be seen.
"Has anyone see-" you began but the woman in question appeared from nowhere, a book in her hand.
"Sir, sir, look!" she squealed and you had to push the book out of your face to see the picture of a snarling wolf that stood on two legs. Patricia looked like she was high or very happy.
"There are so many cool things about things that live here in Gotham, Luke was telling me about the time he saw a vampire!" she breathed and clutched the book closer.
She ran off and slammed the book down on Vincent's desk where the man let out a little screamed in surprise.
You looked over at Nina who was doing her paperwork.
"Don't give me that look, she's a nice girl," Nina said with a point of her finger at you.
Due to beating req roll on first turn, the vote auto wins. Patricia will be free next turn.

You hadn't seen it but the stories came flooding in a bit later. Nina had knocked and when the officer tried to ignore her or shut their door, Nina stuck her foot in the frame and just smiled as she explained exactly why their departments were going to be good neighbours from now on. One particular man tried to move her but she just leant in said they were going to be "best friends".

Roll: 98 +4(combat) +5(morale) +1(Monster knowledge) = 108, req roll 40 = Passed/Crit! The sound of screaming echoes out...
Vincent reported to the alley where the assaults took place, with Vincent's attitude, it didn't take long for a translucent shape of a man to come lunging towards him, drunk even in his afterlife.
Vincent cracked his neck and the alley was engulfed in a wave of flames. Including the small knuckle bone of the ghost's remains lost under a dumpster that hadn't been moved in years. Vincent labelled this in his report as...fun.
Patty(Patricia is so stuffy, call me Patty!) scoured the alley afterwards and found the bone, not only matching the bone to person but figuring out why it's destruction caused the ghost to fade.
When asked how, Patty showed a tagged ring that was remembered by one of the older cops. Drunk David was a sort of old joke back in the day until he was found dead in that very Alley, cut to pieces.
You could see why, the ring was so gaudy with a giant ruby that it was hard to forget it. It would be returned to now happy ex-wife, who still dreaded the mere memory of the man.

Quick question @Stewart92, I just did some checking and our White's combat stat should be 9!!!
Just checking if that obscenely high early stat is correct

just checked the stat page and yes white is 9 like it was
but votes chose Vinnie to do combat

- Mists of Albion
Vinnie seems to be doing well, don't get me wrong...
But if he can Scorch a whole alleyway with his pyromancy at his combat score, we must be able to level several buildings. I mean seriously, if we ever have to fight a major Batman villain White is taking the lead.

it was burned but the bone was already pretty bad with Gotham elements eating at for years. It doesn't take more than to crack the bone for a weak ghost. if Vinnie had done real damage it comes out our paycheck XD I think he was mostly trying to scare the ghost away. So the buildings had some steam and some rubbish smelled really bad but not exactly melting the windows and dumpster level.

SOB loses 1 Morale due to natural time. 54>53
SOB gains 1 money point, SOb loses 1 money point to pay for it's members. Total: 3
You looked at the name of the office door as you entered.
Captain Marcus White
It still was unbelievable you were here. Sitting down, you cracked open the first of the files and reports that began to flow towards your department. The numbers were troublesome and the hints behind the factual "we don't know" statements made Gotham seem pretty bleak from where you sat.
Batman was, in your own private thoughts, a hero, doing what he could to arrest those that were either too dangerous or protected without stepping too far over the line. A man who refused to kill to make his life easier was a man you could like. Self-defence and saving a life in a split second? Yes, shoot the crook but a sheer cold planned murder? No, that could and never should be praised.
Dismissing the odd tangent, you began to read.
-The mafia gangs were mostly stable. A cold war as it were. It would never last.
-Something in the east waters of Gotham, somewhere between Gotham and Bludhaven was attacking boats or people who got too close to the water's edge. No victims yet.
-A small apartment complex tenants have filed several pleas for help as their building apparently keeps trying to kill them. An elevator drops from third to first floor, electric sockets keep overloading when a person is touching them. A man even said that his vacuum cleaner was trying to kill him.
-In a nearby dark pub, The pipe, a dispute happened between two Wizards, there was a lot of cursing and now a man was dead. The corner can find no cause of dead. If it wasn't for the location of the murder then this wouldn't be on your desk at all.
Leaning back, you pondered these events. Nothing good.
You called your lieutenants into your office, your expression determined and must have shown.
Nina stood straighter, all hints of strict sass gone, Patricia managed to look serious, Luke stood with his arms behind his back and Vincent...
He nodded once as if reading your mind.
"People, let's get to work. Now, first I want..."
Plan of Action: Choose Marcus or one of the new four members to do what task in each section. Marcus can do diplomacy if you feel the option suits him more than others at any given time. Some options will require certain skill but you don't want to send your diplomat into a vampire's den if they have zero combat. Until a new member is found, Marcus or one his Lieutenants must pull double duty to cover an unfilled duty.
Leadership: The state of SOB was a little sad. A leader with under five people. It would need tender care.
Plotting: SOB had no connections and no influential power to even make a pixie sweat. Fix this.
Admin: SOB is in a somewhat...chaotic mess.
Learning: SOB knew enough to bang coconuts together to make horse noises. It was bad.
Diplomacy: SOB was the new kid on the block. No one liked him.
Combat: SOB hit like a bad smell. Not dangerous and could be dealt with a stiff breeze.
Personal: It wasn't just the department that needed to grow. Marcus had to become a better leader.
SOB gains 1 money point, SOb loses 1 money point to pay for it's members. Total: 3
