Karl looks at your hand a moment, considering. Then he reaches out and takes it,
"Karl, but you already know that."
Amber looks at Brad and smiles,
"Amber."
This was the first tim I've had to do rolls based on stats. For Brad, it was Appearance, but Vlad rolled on Charisma, because they were already engaged in conversation. This is fortunate, since for Amber to want to talk to you, it was difficulty 8. For Karl to accept Vlad's handshake, however, it was difficulty 9.
On the positive die for Brad, I rolled a 5, and on the negative, 4. Add to this his Appearance, and we get an 8. Since equal to or surpassing the difficulty counts as a pass, Amber accepted it.
For Vlad, however, I got a 1 on the positive die. Convinced he was going to fail, I then rolled a 3 on the negative. Add to that the +1 of his reputation, and it's a grand total of 10. A pass as well! It was a good choice to have such a high charisma. Apologies on the lack of posts this weekend - a lot of revision for GCSEs.
Rachel looks up and down at Vlad,
"Um... Hi." She obviously isn't pleased you're talking to her. Nor does she seem impressed with Brad, but that's not her choice.
I won't do this every time, but now Vlad had to make a difficulty 12 roll on Appearance. He got 9+2-3. 8. A fail. No real ill effects, though. Anyway, I have to go. Sorry guys, but I'll be on more constantly after my exams (which are next week).

The arrival of another student interrupts you conversationa. He's a little weedy kid who visibly pales as you all turn to look at him. Miss Wainwright gives you an inane smile,
"This is Steven. He only arrived in town this morning but he didn't want to miss school," at this Steven winces, but Miss Wainwright continues, unnoticing, "So he needs to get his timetable like you."Three others come in pretty soon - a Goth called Karl and two fashion-conscious Preps, Rachel and Amber. Ten minutes or so later a kid dressed in really baggy jeans and longish hair kept under a baseball cap saunters in. He introduces himself as Alex with a smile.
"New in town?" Joe asked Steven, feeling sorry for the kid. (I assume he's a nerd...)
(You assume right! I have character profiles for all these people, as well as a bit of a chracter description. Some are more important that others, in the school scene.)
Steven replies to Joe, a flush blooming across his face,
"Yes. My parents moved here because my dad got a new job in the company," he paused, "Have you lived here long?"

Alex laughs,
"No harm in it though, I guess. Rachel's cold, plus she only gets up for guys on the football team."

Vlad, Rachel tells you,
"Yes, I guess I probably am. What's it to you?"

"Yeah, it is," Amber blushes, "My sister is in senior year, so I came here to see her play in the band once."
Brad takes a glance over at Vlad and starts to laugh discretely, turns to Amber and says quietly;
"I think your friend is in a bit of trouble, being harassed about the party, poor girl"
