       LBJ Talks Honest: Dr. Hertz

       OOC
       Okay, so let's be blunt, this is LBJ's last ditch effort to get
       Hertz back on his side. As such, he's not pulling punches like
       he has been. He is going to hammer 10HD of Charm down
       repeatedly.
       But, for the sake of slight abstraction and fairness, here's how
       we'll handle it:
       LBJ is going to hit Dr. Hertz with full tilt 10HD Charm 7 times,
       one for each Loyalty+Passion, and once more to convince Hertz to
       make a thing for him (we'll get to that). Each time Dr. Hertz
       can roll defense (good luck, since you need width higher to
       start Gobbling), spend WP or BW to make up the difference. Every
       failure (or one you chose to skip) converts that motivation to
       something LBJ chooses (and, let's be direct, he mostly wants to
       turn all your Loyalties to him, your Passions may be more
       complicated). Of course, a clever solution might also work
       (like, say, running away... just watch out for the fallout of
       that).
       I'm front loading all this so we can have it done by session
       start.
       That said, there is some roleplaying here I want to get in as
       well.
       [hr]
       The president arrives with surprisingly little fanfare. He meets
       Hertz in his office.
       "I guess the cat clawed through the bag," the man says. He looks
       tired. He looks old. He hasn't looked that way since the
       Progenitor arrived in his life. He keeps a distance from Hertz
       at first. "You knew, I'm sure. It's why you kept running off to
       see that good for nothin' cunt Hoffman." He shakes his head.
       "That boy has no idea what he's been given, what we've been
       trying to give him. Civil rights and education are only the
       beginning. There's health care and retirement plans, and so much
       more. That big ol' tree of yours, for instance. That thing's
       going to change the world! Every little whine and sniffle these
       young bastards have is right there, right in front of us! But
       they don't even realize they're standing in the way. Ungrateful
       children, the lot of them." His gaze is distant.
       "You still believe in it, Wally? The world we talked about?"
