Touched by a Devil (intro)

OK, I am still determined to a run an Ars Magica game, but I have had this idea for an Angels and Fallen Angels game percolating in my brain for a while, and I thought I would send it out to the unwashed masses to see what they thought. This write up is long, I know. Think of it more like the first (badly written) chapter to a book than simply a game teaser.

Players will be playing regular people (well, regular dead people) that are used to working well with others during their life, so if you want to play a cop, you can't play a Dirty Harry type, but you can play Det. Sipowitz (from NYPD Blue) type. This is because the devil chose you to work as a team, and he did not want to chose anyone that would not fit in.

Days it might be played on:

Monday Nights
Wednesday Nights Every Second Thursday Night
Saturday Afternoons

People interested so far:

Garrick
Shelagh Antoine (friend of Shelagh's)
Cass Hila
Caroline You?

Here is the game intro:

You died before your time. Because you believed you deserved to go to Hell (for whatever reason), that's where you ended up. You have been there for what seems like an eternity when you get summoned to the office of the CEO, Satan (Esq. BSocSci?, MBA, MCSE, AOL).

You walk in, and your first thought is "That's not what I expected to see... where are the horns? The tail? The eyes of fire? Where're the damn hooves?"

Your next thought is "Well, this is Sammael, also known as Lucifer Morningstar. Brightest and most beautiful of God�s early creations, bringer of light, Messenger of Love and Happiness and first Fallen Angel. Emphasis on Angel. So that's why there are wings... and a halo."

Of course, that thought makes you think "I wonder how I knew all of that all of a sudden... and I wonder when he is going to notice me."

You look around the room and notice a few other bedraggled souls standing around, or walking aimlessly about the room. You wonder what they are there for, and if you should try talk to them, but you think better of it, and decide to keep silent.

After a moment, you decide that you are tired of standing, and walk over to the table that you swore was not there a moment ago, and go to sit down on one of the seats that are situated around it. This seems to be noticed by the other people in the room, and they too move to sit down, though everyone seems to get to the seats at the same time, as if they had gotten a similar idea that you did at about the same time.

Lucifer does not seem to notice the people moving and does not look up.

You are worried that you may have done something wrong, but then you think to yourself "Nah, I'm ok, he doesn't mind, Sport."

Then you wonder "Since when do I call myself Sport."

You then apologise to yourself for being so rude.

That leaves you a bit confused, as you are not sure why you apologized to yourself. You then remember, "For being rude".

Against your better judgment, you open your mouth and utter the words, "Um, ok. Apology accepted."

You look up and Lucifer smiles, and waves a little wave in your direction.

"Great", you think to yourself, "Now I can continue"... though you are not sure what you are going to continue...

The rest is continued here if you are interested in reading further...
