Liminal Space Skills
Portal Creation (Stationary):
The ability to create a portal entering or exiting Liminal Space at any time, not only at the beginning or end of a Jaunt. If you are not in Liminal Space, the portal must be within ten feet of you. If you are within Liminal Space, it must open onto your last crossover point into Liminal Space; i.e., if you portalled out of the bus stop, you must portal back into the bus stop, rather than into the restaurant a block away. You may open no more than one portal every six hours and hold it open no longer than ten seconds, but the portal can be any size (within reason). When used in Liminal Space between jaunts, a portal will connect you to a created room.
Hammerspace I:
The ability to bring up to twenty-five pounds of objects into Liminal Space at a time and have them remain present when you’re not looking at them or carrying them (object permanence). This also permits you to open a small portal and retrieve those objects from liminal space whenever you wish. Objects stored in Hammerspace do not experience the passage of time, and so do not go bad or change while in storage.
Teleportation I:
The ability to open a personal-sized portal for a split-second and step through it to another point within fifty feet, once per teleportation skill possessed every six hours.
Liminal Manipulation I:
The ability to add or subtract unreal items of up to fifty pounds per day while within liminal space - furniture, small animals, non-nourishing food, etc. Cannot create items which rely on power or create complex moving parts. This includes the ability to alter or repair the things you’ve made without recreating them from scratch, and to ‘firm up’ objects found in Liminal Space so they can be kept once the Liminal Space changes.
Liminal Power
Once per day, a Liminal skill has double the effect (choose one of duration, weight limit, size, or distance with every use), or may be used even if it is still during its "cooldown" cycle. When an ongoing effect is enhanced by Liminal Power, it can be automatically refreshed once a day, or after one day has passed, the Traveler can ‘downgrade’ the effect at any time in order to apply the multiplier to another skill, or another aspect of the same skill. Liminal Power may be selected multiple times, resulting in multiple per-day applications that can be applied separately or stacked. If a single skill is enhanced more than once with Liminal Power, its original effect is the one multiplied (so a Liminal Power x2 combo triples, not quadruples, the capacity of Hammerspace). Requires any three other Liminal Skills.
Liminal Permanence:
Liminal objects and/or structures created remain despite changes in Liminal Space or the Walkabout/Jaunt/Dungeon/Idle status of their creator. Non-permanent created rooms do not lose their contents when their doors vanish; they simply cannot be accessed again until their creator is available to 'reset' the doorway, and Liminal Permanence bypasses this requirement.
Psychic Skills
Sensory Livestreaming:
The ability to project your sensory impressions across the psychic network. OOCly: this allows you to make audiovisual posts.
Psychic Protection I:
The ability to block others from using Filter Intrusion or Investigator Mind Reading on you. This may also convey some resistance to psychic intrusions originating off the network.
Favour Skills
Moment of Clarity:
Once per month, slow your perception of time so that for one second per Favor Skill, you have one minute per Favor Skill to contemplate all your options and plan your reactions. (If you have three Favor skills, each second gives you three minutes for a total of nine minutes of accelerated thought). This pause does not allow faster physical motion, but it allows extremely efficient and precise motion due to seeing the world more slowly. For example, it would be possible to sidestep a gun aimed at you in the moment before it fired; but would not allow you to avoid a bullet successfully aimed at you.
Neutrality:
Once per week, persuade someone that you are only present to act as an observer. In that situation, you will be accepted as an observer as long as you do not interfere with any other person’s actions or choices or attempt to accomplish any objective (for example, if stealing or smuggling something, you could not invoke this ability to conceal an object and get away safely even if no-one suspected you of the theft).
Know Thyself:
Once per jaunt, examine yourself for any external influences or status effects. This may not help you shake off those influences or effects, but you will discover them, and knowing, as they say, is half the battle.

Death Eighteen: A FRIEND FROM HOME
Nov. 29th, 2011 04:27 pm[Death had not enjoyed the holiday. Not at all. However when he walks outside he finds a rather strange, rather large box waiting for him by the mailbox.
A. There is a white horse standing outside the house. No such thing as a white horse you say? Binky is odd like that. Death is patting his head. Binky is a little confused at the moment.
B. There is a skeleton in a black cloak riding through the air on a white horse. They've just landed on the ground near you.
C. High School History Class. You guys still have the best teacher. The walking skeleton whose voice just appears in your heads.]
NOW. TODAY I THINK WE WILL BE DISCUSSING THE TRADITION OF CELEBRATING THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND THE NEW YEAR. ON THE DISC, THIS IS REFERRED TO AS....
[Goes to write on the board.]
HOGSWATCH.
AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR, CHILDREN ALL OVER THE DISC ARE WRITING THEIR LETTERS TO THE HOGFATHER, ASKING FOR GIFTS AND STATING WHETHER THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD. IT IS TRADITION. JUST AS CARDS AND POORLY WORDED CAROLS ARE ALSO TRADITIONS.
NOW THEN CHILDREN. I WILL REQUIRE ONE ASSIGNMENT FROM ALL OF YOU. DUE IN A WEEKS TIME.
WRITE A LETTER TO THE HOGFATHER.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

Death Seventeen: DEATH FROM ABOVE
Oct. 27th, 2011 05:05 pm[Hello Mayfield. By now you're all enjoying the day, some people shrinking. Some people growing. It's all strange and odd. But hey at least most of them look human.
Yeah....about that.
Well there is suddenly a 30 ft Skeleton in a black robe standing in the park in Mayfield. Anyone nearby ...or a block away really. Will hear a voice appear in their head. It's even a bit echo-y ]
....OH DEAR. I SEEM TO HAVE ....GROWN A SMALL BIT.
OR RATHER....A LARGE BIT.

Sep. 19th, 2011 06:28 pm[Phone: A voice appears in your head.]
IF ANYONE NEEDS TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ASSIST YOU.
I WILL ALSO BE ASSISTING ANYONE WHOSE SOULS SHOULD HAVE MOVED ON BY NOW. I'M AFRAID THAT THIS HELP IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.
[Action:
A. Death walks the streets of Mayfield. He is looking for anyone who might need help. Stop and stare? Ask for help? Scream and run away?
B. There is a zombie hanging on his arm. Just looking at it annoyed and shaking it off. It's bone dude. You can't eat him.
C. A swish of a scythe and the now properly dead drone, falls to the ground. He sighs and checks the blade.]
NO SOUL. THAT IS TROUBLING.

[Okay Death is sure of one thing when he wakes up.
He hadn't fallen asleep in the first place. He get's up and looks at his hands. Well at least he was still normal looki....
At least he still had his body this time.
Though he was sure he would have remembered changing out of his robes into a strange...suit of some sort.
He looks around the room, and then back to the bed.
Hey, Didi. Have a skeleton tapping your shoulder.]
I'M AFRAID WE SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM.

Death Fourteen: DEATH IS NOT HAPPY
Jun. 12th, 2011 05:23 pm [After seeing the town decide to treat death so lightly, making a game of it in fact, Death was not pleased.
And then he learned even better news. And now he's doing something he knows is a bad idea.
Thinking things over.
Mayfield have a phone call. And a voice just appearing in your head when you pick up the phone.]
DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY THINGS HAPPEN, THE WAY THEY DO?
I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER REALLY UNDERSTAND LIFE.
[A brief pause. Less...contemplative tone.]
ALSO, I NOTICED THE SCHOOL WAS CLOSED. DOES THAT MEAN I NO LONGER HAVE A JOB? OR DO THEY ASSIGN THE TEACHERS NEW ONES IN THE SUMMER?
[Action: And of course you can find him in few places.
A. Walking through the park, a tall skeletal man, with a black cloak, scythe ......and a kitten on his shoulder.
B. At the library, minus the cat this time. The scythe is leaning against a book shelf as he looks through the books.

Death Thirteen: Human Again
May. 27th, 2011 07:32 pm [Death had woken up. As he normally didn't sleep, this was odd.
Oh.....well hello skin.
Phone: A familiar voice, many of you are hearing with your ears for the first time ever]
I take it, that all of our regains are gone now. Did I miss a holiday?
[Action:
A. Inside the house, looking at a hand, dressed in normal black clothing.
B. At Susan's house, checking up on the family

humandeath DEATH TWELVE: THE REAPER MAN
Apr. 11th, 2011 11:01 am[Okay so the skeleton was creepy. The addition of the black robe didn't help much with things either. Which is why anyone who's walking by Death today might be even more unnerved to see the new addition to the ensemble. Death, has his scythe back. You can find him out and about today.
A. He's cutting the grass outside his house. With his scythe. One blade at a time. Sometimes stopping to look at the blade carefully with an experts eye.
B. At school, the scythe is leaning against the desk. He doesn't seem to think there is anything odd about this.

Phone: There is now a voice in your head as you pick up.]
WOULD I BE ABLE TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT SOULS?

Feb. 26th, 2011 01:34 pm [Mayfield! Guess who got their black cloak back and is even more unintentionally creepy then before.
No....not Susan. Death. You can also find him in a few places today.
A. Walking down the street. People there is a giant skeleton dressed in black walking by you. Feel free to stare.
B. Sitting with a tiny kitten on his steps. He seems to be trying to convince it that snow is not going to eat him. ....it doesn't seem to be working.
C. Grading papers in either the school classroom, or the library. ...it's very...interesting handwriting.]
CONSIDERING THE TOWN SEEMS TO DO THINGS AROUND THE HOLIDAYS. I WAS WONDERING.
WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE, AND WHAT IS IT LIKE?

Death Ten: DISCWORLD: A HISTORY
Jan. 12th, 2011 03:42 pm[A. TEACHING:
High school students. By now you've realized there is something odd about your History teacher. The fact that he's teaching the history of another world may be one sign. The fact that he's a 7ft tall skeleton might be a better one. Still he's been here for a while now so all but the newer students would be astonished by this fact and that when he talks, you don't really hear it. It just arrives in your head.
The name Bill Door, is still written on the board. At the moment there are a few chalk diagrams on the board. There is a lot of stench lines.]
TODAY CLASS. WE WILL BE LEARNING ABOUT ONE ONE OF THE DISCS MORE.....INTERESTING CITIES.
ANKH-MORPORK.
THERE ARE MANY LEGENDS SURROUNDING THE FOUNDING OF THE CITY OF COURSE. ACCORDING TO SOME, THE FIRST CITY WAS BUILT BY TWO BROTHERS WHO WERE RAISED BY HIPPOPOTAMUS. ANOTHER LEGEND SUGGEST THAT MANY CENTURIES AGO THE DISC WAS FLOODED. AN ARK WAS CONTRUCTED, CONTAINING TWO OF EVERY ANIMAL. WHEN THE ACCUMULATED DUNG OF FORTY DAYS AND NIGHTS WAS DROPPED OVER THE SIDE, THEY CALLED IT ANKH-MORPORK.
HOWEVER, IN REALITY IT WAS A SMALL CITY BUILT TO SURROUND THE TOWER OF ART AT THE UNSEEN UNIVERSITY.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR?
[B. Walking down the street, he seems lost in thought. You can tell this because he doesn't seem to notice that he's walking through things, like telephone poles and mailboxes as though they weren't' even there. Feel free to point that out, or just stop and stare.]

[He was quite interested in seeing what the Hogfather left for him. He finds this note and opens it. And then goes upstairs to a new world.
And he had been human, with proper human emotions. And then his entire family was killed and he suddenly felt the immense loss of death properly. Grief, and sadness and this time there was nothing to stop any of the emotions from overcoming him.
A long while after that, he's back to normal. But the memories are still strong and he'll pick up the phone in slightly shaky hands.]
HOW....HOW CAN YOU STAND IT? THE GRIEF....
[Fail Filter to Susan]
SUSAN....ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

Death Eight: A NEW PET
Dec. 3rd, 2010 06:35 pm [Death did not like thanksgiving. Mostly because, apparently it was a family holiday and he didn't even get to see his Granddaughter.
Oh and also the spiders. He did not like the spiders. Because he had to get rid of them. No, he doesn't want to talk about it. Also now Misty is a drone.
So clearly to cheer himself up....Kitty. You can find him
a. Walking down the street with a rather scared kitten, oddly enough the kitten isn't so much scared of him, as everything else. Kitten is sitting on his shoulder.
b. In the park, how did his kitten get into a tree? He really wishes he knew, either way he's trying to reach it.
c. In his front lawn trying to convince a rather cowedly kitten that hiding under the stairs is not a good idea.]
