How pissed are the 25% who escape the trap gonna be?

Considering the trap is supposed to trap intruders, probably not very.
They should know the dangers to expect when breaking into a facility that works with/against unnaturals, the ones who don’t are most likely the ones who die.
A little bit of exciting news. I am looking into comissioning an artist to make a sculpture of the female Azure protagonist as featured on the new updated cover for season one.
Not only am I considering having one for myself I also want to get a second one to use as a prize for a new art competition. Seeing all the new arty folks on the forums could be an exciting thing to do.

But if some creature did decide to break in, get caught, then escape the trap, what are they going to do? Say my bad, I shouldn’t have done that?
My assumption is that anything escaping the extra deadly trap is going to be a) already after us b) powerful enough to survive/escape and c) extra mad for the inconvenience.
I have a more devil may care Shade using MC who would be fine with it, but it’s good to be aware of the risks. (I’m assuming that trespassing muggles will be stopped by more mundane means before the trap engages - otherwise that’s just careless if it can’t be tuned to Unnaturals).
Victor wouldn’t sweat the details. He’s literally the type of guy who would cover the entire floor with mousetraps just for one mouse…
Other people’s suggestions are a lot more better to my MC. Lakota for instance can come with one that is specifically targets negative thoughts about the group. And the response is tailored to the level of negativity. For example a reporter who wants to write a smear campaign would be prevented from entering the building whereas a intruder who wanted to cause harm or mayham would be deal with more swiftly and hands on.

“Do I have to?” even from the other room you can hear the embarrassment in Victor’s voice.
“Yes. It’s Christmas so you have to wear a jumper. It’s the law!” you tell him trying not to laugh.
“Fine, I’m coming out…”
You hear the door open and you turn as Victor stomps into the room a look of displeasure on his face.
But you look down at the fluffy red jumper with a penguin dressed as Santa and you grin.
“Aw, you look adorable…”
You have no idea where he got the knife from but it thuds into the wall next to your chair.

Victor, you need to stop talking bets. It’s hilarious having you dress up however we want but it can’t be good for your self esteem or your reputation.
This time it isn’t a bet. A Christmas scene before the SCI scenes start.

Question my fellow CoGgers.
I’m working on the framework for christmas day players can choose to spend it with their family (aunt and uncle) with their LI (LI, aunt and uncle) or by themselves (alone). Would anyone who has a LI choose any option but the one with their LI? I’m debating whether it’d be worth writing a scene where the MC spends it alone but thinking about their LI?

You frown at the short cryptic message so you check to see a missed call. Curious you listen to the message.
"Hey ${name}," Victor says his voice crackling a little. "Sorry about the quality but I've got the phone on loudspeaker."
Victor pauses when someone in the background growls. The snarling quickly turns to a whelp and you hear Victor snap "Bad boy."
You hear the whelp again and an audible thump of something hitting the floor. "Sorry about that I'm a little busy currently, but wanted to say I'll come and spend Christmas with you, its not like I have family of my own anymore...laters!"
The phone cuts off and you sigh. Well at least he was coming round you suppose.

It would add bit on immersion… it prob wouldnt be most popular choice so if you have some spare time you could add it
Perhaps if you choose the alone option, the LI could force the MC to spend Christmas with just just the LI, leaving the aunt and uncle out of the scenes. It is up to you, thought, as it’s your story.

Could work. I could see some LI coming to spend time with you. Others might drag you along to hunt something…

That’s a brilliance idea, if MC want to spend time alone …i suppose they have a valid reason , but i would think the LI would be insecure about MC not spending time with him/her… so LI could pay us a surprise visit and willingly spend time with us…if we still reject their offer, they could demand we either pay them more attention or break up with them ? 
I’m a bad person. Been thinking of this today and all I can think of is Victor would probably dump a vampire down the chimney just to stop you moping…

I mean, there are probably worse ways for someone in the unnaturalverse to try to stop you moping.
It’s kinda friendly, like a cat bringing home a half dead mouse. “Cheer up, I brought you something to kill!”

Victor just told me to like the hell out of that comment. But did say he is more of a tiger than a cat…

Looks like nocturnal has gone mad everyone. It was bound to happen eventually when one person starts predicting how everyone in a world would act. (I’m joking btw)
Gone mad? I’ve always been there dancing on the knifes edge of insanity. It’s how I discovered the UnNaturalverse
