Operator Moves

Moonlighting: you get 2-juggling. Whenever there’s a stretch of downtime in play, or between sessions, choose a number of your gigs to work. Choose no more than your juggling. Roll+cool. On a 10+, you get profit from all the gigs you chose. On a 7–9, you get profit from at least 1; if you chose more, you get catastrophe from 1 and profit from the rest. On a miss, catastrophe all around. The gigs you aren’t working give you neither profit nor catastrophe. Whenever you get a new gig, you also get +1juggling.

Reputation: when you meet someone important (your call), roll+cool. On a hit, they’ve heard of you, and you say what they’ve heard; the MC will have them respond accordingly. On a 10+, you take +1forward for dealing with them as well. On a miss, they’ve heard of you, but the MC will decide what they’ve heard.

Worm

Bristo remembers his first encounter with Worm:

Having become somewhat of a spy, Bristo was aware of a Brainer in the parts who he needed to be really careful of. On his was back into town after an uneventful errand for Grunty, Bristo happened upon a man who had apparently been robbed and beaten, left just off the road to die in the scorching heat. Looking back, he can't remember how the man looked, just that he pitied him deeply, and felt compelled to help him.

Bristo assisted the man back into Mudwater, people gaping at him as he did. What were they looking at? He just carried that man to one of the inns, where he paid the innkeeper for a room and took the man to the bed to recover.

After that, days are blurred in his memory. He remembers being commanded to reveal everything he knows about someone in town, and also that the interrogator wasn't learning anything useful. All he remembers aside from that is pain.

When he woke up, the room looked unused except that he had been laying in the bed. He bolted up, and ran from the room. "Where's the man I brought here?" he asked the innkeeper. To Bristo's horror, the innkeeper asked "You mean the brainer?"

Bristo had been tricked by powers unknown into believing that Worm was a distressed traveler, but in fact it was a ruse (probably an idea planted in his mind by the Brainer) to get him somewhere where he could have his mental way with Bristo undisturbed.

Bristo, in shock, made his way back to Grunty's. When he told Grunty about all of this, Grunty's brows furrowed and he said "Worm's been working for Baron. I wonder what they think you know. And what they're up to."

'Effect - Worm gets -1 HX from Bristo.
