Moves

The Clique: You're at the hear to the toughest, coolest, most powerful clique around. They count as a gang. Their strength is that they're connected (with money and designer drugs).

Many Bodies: When you promise one of your gang members to someone, add 2 to your roll to turn someone on. When one of your gang members has sex with someone, it triggers your Sex Move.

Sex Move: When you have sex with someone, they gain the Condition one of them. While the Condition remains, they count as part of your gang.

Soul Debt: Name a dark power that you have a pact with (Nitocris). Choose two Bargains that it can make with you. It can hold Strings against you. Whenever it collects 5 Strings against you, trigger your Darkest Self.

• The Power Flows Through You: You can give the dark power a String in order to add 2 to your next roll (choose before rolling).
• Elsewise Power: You can give the dark power a String to use a Move you don't have, just this once. This Move can come from any playbook.

Conditions

Obvious
Blamed
Freaky
Spoiled Brat

Backstory

Name three NPCs who are members of your gang. Gain a String on each.

First is Britney. Before Nitocris, she was the one in charge. She's a calculating social climber; gets it from her dad, who's management at the biggest timber company in town. Now, she's my Vizier.

Then there's Chloe. Her parents are crazy evangelical types, so naturally she's been doing everything she can to piss them off. She's the one who makes the deals for the stuff we really shouldn't have. Now, in Nitocris, she's found a divinity she can buy into, and serves as my Priest.

Third is Amy. While the rest of the clique maintains their popularity by leveraging power, Amy's just naturally lovable. Beautiful, stylish, captain of the swim team, and inherently friendly; it'd be weirder if everyone didn't love her. Keeping her weak academics good enough to attract scholarship offers is how I got into the clique in the first place. She's my Concubine, the trophy that says I can have anyone and anything I want.

You find someone threatening. Give them a String on you, and take two Strings on them. Who threatens you, and how?

It's Zed. We were friends back before Nichole became Nikki, before Nikki also became Nitocris. I'm not sure we stopped, so much as I just had more people demanding my time once I got in with the girls. Then she died, overdosing on the drugs Chloe brought to the party. Then she didn't stay dead, and now the part that's Nitocris says she should be ours by right, but either way, she's dangerous to us now.

Darkest Self

They've failed you. This is all their fault, and there's no reason why you should have to suffer the consequences of their idiocy. You'll need to make an example out of each of them, a cruel and unwavering example. You escape your Darkest Self when you relinquish part of your power over someone, or when you destroy an innocent person in order to prove your might.
