Have we just run across someone who is ready to be Awakened but hasn't had the guidance? What a cool thing to roleplay if we have!

And of course, Professor, created by the whiz-kid Shadowrun player Peter, is a former university professor with NO Instruction Skill. Well... that actually could sum up a lot of university professors I have known, come to think of it. But still! *heel of palm to forehead*

Maybe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I can see what you will be spending karma on next time. There are afterall so many skills to pick from.

Besides professors do not instruct they lecture (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

So far I've lined up the Data Search and Instruction skills, and the Psychometry metamagic. They're piling up way faster than the karma!

Peter you're hilarious and Laurie. Stop encouraging him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Dang those maps are hard work. It's taken me about three weeks to work out that the right hand edge of the architectural plans is West.

Where were we when this 'scene' started and which rooms is everyone in now? I'm assuming everybody started in the Great Room. Any rough idea of scale? How wide are these units?

Actually, the unit we are in is 32'9" according to the front plan...

edit - or 9.98m in 'real' money...

edit II - which makes the main building 25m long by my estimation..

Professor is currently close to Larry the Unawakened elf. Somewhere outside near the truck?

Believe Larry is somewhere in the Foyer. One of Laurie's post mentioned the painter working on some sketches in the living room with the paper and pencil. Toreador then tried to read his astral signature, which in turn caused Larry to leave that room.

Assuming/Hopefully he's now in the main foyer with Cruze so she can put a bullet through him, just kidding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

*sighs* gets her coat.

Pedro. Have to give it up to your boy. Despite all of Toreador's shenanigans, The Professor has been a pro.

Hoo-rah.

He gets it from years of dealing with petulant students, with ego greater than intellect and sense of entitlement greater than common sense.


Professor's first pass at organizing the team (Alpha and Omega seemed kinda cool names) appears to have dissolved, as he and Cruze are in the unit beside Karkoff's and Toreador is back at his hideout. I'm not sure about the placement of the other PCs, or who is currently watching/watching over Karkoff.

I believe Blackie is nearby working on hacking the local network. That leaves Warrior and Dick, who I guess have taken it upon themselves to stay close to the subject we are being paid to protect, given that the rest of us are mucking about in our own little worlds.

Players, fill me in if this is not what your PCs are doing.

To be honest, I hit that period of minimal activity, and was left far behind. I've been trying to figure out where to reinsert myself into the game.

Following the target as a dozen different people seems like as good a place as any. Dick's doin that.

I'm still trying to get my head around who said what on team comm's and solely in Astral.

Cruze is biding her time until the Orks leave and then she can worry about how to get rid of or neutralize Larry.

She is uncomfortable having the Prof in the building. He's already tipped their hand somewhat with his mere presence and is limiting her options for dealing with Larry.

She may tell him to clear out shortly depending on how things develop.

My responses have also been slow as I am too having a bit of a challenge in figuring who is saying what and when.

If you notice at the bottom of my signature there is a little PBP guide. May I recommend we use that?

Furthermore, when talking in different modes can we use:

**Speaking on the astral** (as in like stars in the sky)

<<Speaking on the commlink>> (those funny pointy things)

"Speaking normally" (quotes like most people use)

If you are going to speak in a foreign language

And then Lauri said in Finnish, "Alakko nää mua?"

I also like using:

why would anyone do that to another human being , I thought.

Is that better?

I will lurch the story on on Friday. I have been notoriously lazy the last week and I have not done anything in terms of packing stuff or work wise.

I've been the biggest perpretraitor of confusing people with the dialouge. I'll go back sometime tonight (USA, NYC standard time) and tinker around with PBP Guide to revise the previous posts.

I'm not confused. I know exactly what's going on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I will give Chrysalis' text coding a try. I still wanna use the pretty colours!

In her last IC post, Chrysalis tells us the unit is empty, and the orks won't return until called by the electrician telling them the electrics are done, so Cruze can go ahead and start doing things. Larry is a bit of a wrench in the works, because he is buddingly (?) Awakened and seems to catch glimpses of Toreador and Professor. The orks are gone, and I would have thought Larry would have gone with them, but he is out back having a cigarette, looking like he needs a break. I can't say I blame him, seeing 'ghosts' and all.

Dick is out tracking Karkoff, Blackie is network-busting, Toreador has retreated to his hideout, and Cruze is in the unit setting up electronic surveillance. The necessary equipment for her work has been unloaded into the condo. Warrior has not been involved in the online conversation, and is not able to change appearances the way Dick can, so unless this is an issue for bmcoomes, Warrior is with the vehicle that he and Dick used to get close to Karkoff, and is staying in contact with Dick. That places two of our people, with good firepower, close to the guy we are supposed to be protecting. Warrior can maintain contact with all parties as needed.

It would appear as if things are progressing in the direction we need them to go.

Since Larry is bothersome and seen as a threat by both Toreador and Cruze, Professor will take it upon himself to deal with Larry, in a non-terminating way, one that hopefully will get everyone out of Cruze's hair. If Cruze needs physical help while Professor is out, she can call on Blackie.

Check the IC thread for Professor's actions.

Gosh. Balls in the wind....

Incidentally when did the IC threads start multiplying?

The Toreador thread started yesterday. Chrysalis may have other threads in mind for the rest of us, considering how each of us seemed to show active history going on when we first met each other at the job meet.

Professor is in the Shadows at all because he is looking for somebody (hmm... sounds like Toreador?) who shafted him royally. Part of the attraction of this job was that Mr. Johnson said he could get Professor in contact with someone who knows the guy.

Fearless Leader inspired me to choose a new avatar.

I'm sticking with the creepy doll.

Use an elf boys. Join the movement.

For that kind of movement I eat fiber.

You had to say that while I was eating!....

I once succeeded causing someone to have pot noodles come out of his nose with the simple phrase "But I am innocent! *blink* *blink*"

-Chrysalis

impressive

That's terrible.

Friends don't let friends eat Pot Noodle....
