OOC: Another Day, An SR4 run... Options

[Buddha72]

Along the same lines of info on Fixx, what do we know about the club? Interior and the crowd? Is it a runner hangout? The usual. :D

[Tashio]

LOL Buddha would have though you would know the place inside out by now :) This is what the 3rd game its showed up in? :) Of course what Widget knows is anouther story :) Probably does not help I'm playing in all 3 have enough trouble trying to keep which is which in the other 2. At least our furry friend has not showed up YET.

Anyway back to the plot. How well known is The Looking Glass in social circles.

[Buddha72]

Well the story is this....

The Looking Glass was a roving rave that popped from place to place. Iblis (my furry decker character) was managing it but then she hit a jack pot in Fenris's thread and was able to buy a permanent home for the club. Then McQuillan (who use to play with my regular table top group before he moved) wanted to use the localein the SR4 thread and he mentioned that the club has undergone some changes since the old SR3 world so I know about as much of the club as the rest of you at this point.

But I am extremely jazzed that homebrewed content (locale and characters) has made it into someone else's game world. :D

[BishopMcQ]

Ok folks--

General info on Fixx presuming you have done your homework or have him as a contact

[ Spoiler ]

Former-runner, he got started as a combat-oriented Face. Strong ties to Club Extassis, Fixx has a good relationship with the known manager Stephan. A little of five years ago, Fixx transitioned from shadowrunner to fixer. He started by contracting work through runners that he had personally worked with, and began a grassroots expansion through the shadow and corporate world using his connections inside Extassis to be put in touch with the largely corporate clientele and his own career in the shadows.

He is meta-friendly with a "big brother" approach to the Changeling community. Known to have an awakened lover who is also a shadowrunner. Most of his jobs are clean of the entanglements that come with syndicate work.

Rumors abound about some level of phys-ad ability to regenerate, though all assensing tests have come back as mundane.

The Looking Glass is a changeling night club and rave spot. There is a subterranean parking level and the ground floor is the main party floor.

2 hits on Data Search or attending a few raves

[ Spoiler ]

The 2nd floor is a crash pad where the staff drops attendees who have over-indulged themselves on their candies of choice. Occasionally attendees will go there voluntarily to sleep everything off until the next morning or later.

4 hits on Data Search or attending several raves

[ Spoiler ]

The day to day management of the club is run by a young Changeling male named Izzy. His head of security is an imposing Simian (troll variant?) called Mr. Bobo who carries two small handcannons (Respect and Courtesy) wherever he goes.

6 hits on Data Search or a regular at the raves

[ Spoiler ]

The third floor is a long-term living area setup like a youth hostel. Small rooms with communal living areas and utilities. (Equivalent of Low lifestyle accomodations) Living there seems to be by invitation only from Management.

[BishopMcQ]

Any other info must be learned through additional investigation or IC interactions.

[BishopMcQ]

I'll do a general bump to the meet, after we find out if Copperhead takes the lead.

[Buddha72]

So help me out here, who has Fixx as a contact and we may know each other?

[HeySparky]

I have Fixx. We're tight.

[cx2]

I've got Fixx rtoo now. Just business, and PU is only recently taking runner work (few months), but has probably been in touch with Fixx as a street doc for a while longer. If you have spent much time with the gangs in Redmond PU probably knows of you by name at least as well.

Edit:
Would it be possible to look the other team members for cyber? I think it was intuition+cyberwares kill (part of biotech group) but I'll check, that would be dice pool of 9.

[HeySparky]

Heya Tash - I wrote BW's entrance into my latest post - which she hasn't quite done IC yet - I'll alter as needed. I figured she'd show up sooner or later... hope you don't mind the liberty. And (in case anyone is wondering) it's not something I make a habit of doing.

[HeySparky]

Heh... cx2 I think Tash/BW meant that she was delayed onsite, that she was only moments late... But Tash can clarify that.

I'll stop meddling now.

[Tashio]

Yea she was onsite around an hour before the meeting. I would have posted earlier and been seated when the meeting started but unfortunatly I was out of the office during the day and got home late so had to explain why she was not there as it started otherwise she would have been.

Ta Sparks :)

[cx2]

I only meant a quip about someone possibly needing medical attention. If my post still doesn't fit I'll remove it, like I've said to Sparky this is my first time roleplaying.

[Tashio]

Ah lol. Don't think he'll need medical attention, maybe some psychiatric counceling.

[HeySparky]

Assensing:
Int 3 + Assensing 2 = 5 dice
03 03 04 04 04

No hits. A very cursory assensing indeed.

[BishopMcQ]

Hey team--It's Monday. I'll usually do a bump early in the week, but it looks like you are trying to figure out what you are going to do. Holler if you have any questions for me.

[cx2]

Cyberware checks

team

[ Spoiler ]

3 2 3 4 2 3 3 1 6
I think I need a new dice roller app...

TAO

[ Spoiler ]

2 1 4 5 4 1 3 5 1
A little better, but my dice roller app still seems to dislike me.

I don't mind if you rule that I can't use the AR image of the TAO for a cyberware check, or if you apply a penalty.

Edited because I screwed up the spoiler tags.

[BishopMcQ]

CX2--TAO is a corporate program not a person. If you're looking at Finn, then he has a datajack.

For the team, 1 success will notice obvious cyberware such as datajacks and eye covers. (both Black Widow and Copperhead have obvious datajacks.)

[cx2]

I meant Finn, sorry. I wasn't expecting much, just hoping I might have been able to glean something more about his capabilities. Doesn't matter, they're probably bioware anyway.

[Tashio]

We are in a booth open to the club right, not a closed room?

[Buddha72]

I think so which is why I threw out the post suggesting going upstairs to somewhere more private. :D

[cx2]

lol Buddha72, you make it sound like something really wierd...

Just kidding. As far as I can tell from the posts we're still in Fixx's booth, I guess how comfortable you are depends on how well you know Fixx (or trust him), how paranoid you are (very, extraordinarily, or should-be-locked-up), and how concerned you are about people in the club.

I do think moving it somewhere else is a good idea, but I don't think PU would have a preference. He's not paranoid to the point of wanting a white noise generator for everything, but I wouldn't be surprised if some characters would be.

[BishopMcQ]

For general reference, anyone bringing in firearms/explosives or weapons that deal physical damage would be asked to take them back to their vehicles or check them.

Patch-Up was the only one I saw mentioning weapons. If you want to attempt to smuggle them in let me know and I will make the tests to detect them.

CX2--The best way to scan people for cyberware is to use a handheld cyberware scanner (will detect weapons and cyberware) or micronized sensor pack.

[HeySparky]

I made a mention of concealed weapons because I didn't realize the policies. (Vadeux would know).

I will edit my intro post accordingly. How reputable is the gun/coat check?

[cx2]

I just thought the SR4 rules said the Sting was immune to detectors because of its construction. I could see them picking up my cyber though. I didn't mean anything by my post, that's why I just made it sound like the security was really good.
