(lost my original post to the digital void...)

Hey Shadow,

What do you require from me for this and how soon do you need it?

SR13

Just a friendly reminder to use the time/date/location stamps as a header for all posts so Sedna can easily put the posts in their correct order when she webs them. If you have forgotten in any of your posts, please go back edit for her. Thanks!

So it looks like Erebus is joining us, excellent. I will wait to post till he gets caught up to Tenmou.

Play nice boys.

Yep he is. I'd like to take this oppurtunity to thank both you and SR13 for helping to make the synching of timelines possible. I know that SR13 was inconvienced by having to slow down his playing so that Cedric and I could get Erebus onto a similar timeline. Now I think we are going to see some excellent RPing as a reward though. Game on gentleman!

Shadow: A quick question. In the original job specs quoted to Tenmou, and then to Erebus, the job was supposed to start at 21:00. Is the job starting at 20:00 now, consistant with Tenmou's arrivial?

Perhaps I am confused and the time of actual delivery is supposed to be 21:00? Could you clear this up for both Cedric and I? Thank you very much.

Probably a desparity caused by me. I have a bad memory for details. We will go with 20:00 hours.

Thank you Shadow.

Cedric: Can you run with this accordingly?

Yup, I've posted my arrival within seconds of SR13 arriving at the door. I cleared the area for approx. 2 minutes to give Tenmou time to clear the doorway without me crowding him and will approach the door directly at 20:01:00 approx.

I also wrote in additional space for Tenmou to notice my arrival and have PM SR13 with a generic description of Erebus so he can write in my character's arrival.

Sorry for my lack of posting gents... my home computer went up in smoke and I'm limited to posting from the office for a while.

I'll try my best to keep up.

Shadow or Bandit, for future (near future) use, how common are weapons detectors? Some sort of explosive detection equipment?

I know nothing of this sort of thing so I don't know if they make those security wands that detect explosives or if I need to set up some sort of X-ray machine etc.

It occurs to me that I am going to want to scan the package before taking it to wherever I'm supposed to deliver it, and I want to know if something like that could be picked up at the Radio Shack or if I'd have to special order it and wait. (Erebus slaps himself in the forehead, hard, for not thinking of this prior to getting to the meeting site. Why on God's green earth didn't I question the need to hire TWO security types to deliver a simple package when the job was offered? Erebus mentally pokes at the huddled mass of paranoia inside his head "Where were you when I needed you?")

I'm planning on writing in Erebus' sudden thought that he might be the delivery boy for a bomb rather than a simple love note once I get a look at the package etc. But I thought I'd lay the ground work now to determine whether or not Erebus is would have ready access to a solution or if he's going to have to consult with Tenmou on how to check etc.

ACK! In looking at a more detailed street map of Auburn instead of 320 SW i was looking at 304 SE street. Would it be okay to edit the posts to reflect that? Or is it important enough to worry about? If I'm getting too detail obsessed please let me know.

I'm working off of Goggle Maps mapping function to get street names etc. Sorry about the earlier error.

Don't worry about it Cedrick. I tend to go abstract on things. Like "north Auburn" or "South Auburn" if a map is required I will provide it.

On Weapons detectors...

I would think a hand held metal detector or MAD scanner would be readily availible through a fixer. To buy them legaly you may need some kind of permit or biz license.

However, since you have just seen the package you are deliveing, I think it is safe to say you wont need one.

Etiquette roll for Erebus;

I took the liberty of describing the florist and florist shop, if I missed points please let me know and i'll edit.

I would prefer you didn't describe things unless I give you the details. If you would like more detail please ask.

Initiative please :)

Initiative for Erebus: 26

Shadow, details please.

Are the three Chinese persons Trolls, Orks, Humans, etc?

Any obvious cyberware?

Please describe their jackets and clothing, does it look like it is armored gang clothing etc?

Do any of them appear to be carrying handguns?

How far into the room are they, how far away from Erebus are they?

Are any of them wearing fetishes or obvious signs of arcana? (fetishes, wands, glowing orichalcum pendants etc.)

Are the three Chinese persons Trolls, Orks, Humans, etc?

> Human. I tend to say Men to mean human. If they were orcs or trolls or mixed I would say (for future ref).

Any obvious cyberware?

> No

Please describe their jackets and clothing, does it look like it is armored gang clothing etc?

> Black leather Jackets with stylized red eastern dragons on the arms. Red Bandanas.

Do any of them appear to be carrying handguns?

> None that you can see.

How far into the room are they, how far away from Erebus are they?

> They just walked into the room, standing right by the door. The room is about 6 meters in any direction so they are no further away than that.

Are any of them wearing fetishes or obvious signs of arcana? (fetishes, wands, glowing orichalcum pendants etc.)

> Not that you can tell.

> This requires an action, is that what you want to use your first round for?

No, I'll save my first action, I thought I would be able to do that prior to initiating combat.

No, my first action is to ready my Predator III. Can I say "Hold it!" once I have my gun drawn?

I'm not going to shoot right off, but I want to draw the gun just in case. I believe that getting the gun out is a simple action, the statement is a free action, and if memory serves that would leave me with one additional simple action, I don't want to shoot to start things off so I'll just hold that action.

That should take care of my first initiative pass. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't had to go through combat in so long I'm not sure if I remember all of the rules for it anymore. I'm going to brush up when I get home tonight.

Initiative roll = 15

Tenmou will remove the duffle bag from his shoulder. He's going to hold the bag in his left hand while drawing his katana with his right.

He will allow the gangers to see this ornately decorated blade and say, "You may wish to rethink your current course of action..."

If that doesn't count as an action in combat, then I will hold my action.

If the gangers get things going before Tenmou acts, anyone threatening him or the shop owner will be attacked. He will throw his duffle bag high, towards the ganger's head and attack low, using Karate (try and avoid making a bloody mess, if I can).

I hope that covers my bases... :)

SR 13- It would, except that all your bases are belong to us!!!

Sorry Shadow, I just couldn't resist that one. :D

I may have to ambush your characters again very soon for that one, WinterRat.

Whats that from? My wife says it all the time but neither of us can remember where we heard it.

I'll post IC soon with the resolution.


@ Winter feel free to interupt anytime.
