Loot: N/A

Points: 8 - may not be used for magic

Comments: I especially enjoyed watching Eitan's brain moving through the Encyclopedia of Social Elitism while seamlessly navigating the messy Venn diagram of the social circles here. You did it well and made it both an interesting and easy to follow read.

Politics:
Respecting an Office

Logistics (Domestic):
Impromptu Invitations

Earning What You Have

The Power of Money
Social Contacts

Reading a Complex Social Situation

Loot: N/A
Injuries: Inebriation

Points: 8 - May not be used for magic

Comments:
Nothing seems to escape Stefan's notice. Always watching and aware, while being a perfectly polite and sociable host. True grace.

I've adjusted your House Management skill to Logistics (Domestic) to better reflect the skill guide (Logistics is approved as a skill, House Management is not). This is solely a change in name alone, as they are the same thing functionally. Please adjust your Character Sheet accordingly.

Brenner

Traversing ebbs and flows of conversation
Navigating mixed company
Delivering socially acceptable insults
Casting aspersions with subtlety
Smooth recovery
Downplaying offences
Making introductions
Charming relative strangers

Loot: N/A
Injuries: Inebriation

Points: 8 - May not be used for magic.

Comments: Galerian schnapps are far superior to all other schnapps, this much is known. Always a fan of Brenner's humor, and your writing truly helps to strengthen the scene at play here.

Dreyfus

Lores: (Eligible 8, Requested 8)

Comments: The competitive nature (or is it a desire to protect Jane maybe) of Dreyfus is most interesting, certainly helps to support his more canine aspects...
