Southern Hospitality, OOC for ... well, all the OOC stuff Options

[Cedric Rolfsson]

Sure, I just couldn't see the text. Sharing a fixer works for me, here's the descrip.

[ Spoiler ]

Digger (3/4) Fixer/Club Owner
Digger is a Dwarf, formerly a hacker of no small repute he worked the shadows all along the East Coast, eventually settling in Atlanta to run a semi-legitimate business, a medium sized night club called the Prismatic Cube. Digger is still up on most of the tech and does work as a fixer to help keep his night club afloat. He and Dean connected while Dean was still with Lone Star in Halifax and when Dean hit the shadows it was Digger and his connections that made Dean disappear. Since then Dean has been getting shadow work almost exclusively from Digger and most nights can be found hanging out in the Cube. Dean has done the magical wards around Diggers back rooms and will occasionally provide astral security for the club.
Digger has a paranoid issue with technomancers, almost an obsession, and has installed enough wi-fi jammers and noise generators in the walls of his club to effectively block out most wireless signals. The club itself is connected to the Matrix, but no outside signals can get through without going through the club’s node, which Digger has layered with security. This means that very few technomancers will come into the club since they’ll be cut off from the greater Matrix, and also that anyone who enters the club is limited to networking with just those people in the club. Of course anyone that hack’s the club’s Matrix security system would effectively be able to control Matrix flow, but Digger hasn’t figured out how to have his cake and eat it too, yet.

Anyone who wants can read that, doesn't bother me. 2bit if you want to make changes let me know.

I see that we are all here. I am assuming that Dean will come busting in here in a minute and that Sundown went into the shop.

I'm taking my wife out to dinner this evening so I'll make the first post and check back in when we get back.

@ Redjack

Since Book is sustaining I'll give you a spoiler should he note anything unusual.

[Thanee]

Have a good time. :)

Bye
Thanee

@ 2bit

[ Spoiler ]

Vick remembers that two weeks is the time frame for the Southern Conservative Party Primary. While Terry Fulerton is a shoe-in for the nomination, having him forced out or quietly bow out at this point would essentially prevent a Southern Conservative from winning the election.

@ Redjack

[ Spoiler ]

Book notices that the sense of the cigar smoking man has changed. He is no longer tense and is telling the complete truth.

[Redjack]

Wow... That was a mouthful....

@Alex

[ Spoiler ]

To be clear, I see in the room the following people:
Cigar Smoking Man "Mr Johnson" (male human mundane)
Jazz ([Thanee] human female mundane)
Vick ([2bit] male human mundane)
Carron ([ErrosCallidus] male human mundane)
Dean ([Cedric Rolfsson] male human mage)
Sundown ([Shadow] male human mage) + F4 Air Elemental
Belle ([Trigger] mundane human female)

Eric "Book" ([Redjack] Male Human Shaman) + Watcher

[ludomastro]

@ Redjack

[ Spoiler ]

Yes that is who you see. I just realized that the watcher forgot to tell Eric about the Air Elemental. Bad watcher, bad! :D

[ErrosCallidus]

Hey Alex,

Do you want me to let you know OOC everytime Carron's looking for something specific? I can roll everytime he scans the scene, but that seems a bit repetitive...

@Alex

[ Spoiler ]

He's checking to see if the fancy car really WAS the J's and if there's anybody around taking a little undue notice of his car and whatever car he can figure is one of his new teammates'

Not that I wouldn't do it. He's a pretty alert guy. :P

[ludomastro]

@ Erros

In general, I'll roll for you if there is something that needs to be / could be noticed. However, that will be at -2. If you have something specific that you are looking for, then yes, please let me know. In my mind, scanning the scene for a Shadowrunner come with the territory, much the same way as it does to military.

[ Spoiler ]

The car is now gone. Nothing else seems to jump out at him.

[ErrosCallidus]

Thanks, just double checking... different GMs do things differently.

Now to retrieve that pesky 'link :please:

[Trigger]

I am going to be away for awhile and I am sorry for any trouble it may cause. I will try and update as much as possible when I get a chance, but I can make no guarantees on the frequency of my posts. Thank you.

[ludomastro]

I am working on the assumption that your characters will be working out the details of how and where things go from here. Let me know when you get to the point where you need things to progress and I'll push things along.

[2bit]

Alex:

[ Spoiler ]

Need to recall anything I can remember about who was responsible for that thing with Brad. . . Vick's not one to go out of his way on a revenge kick, but I'm suspicious of our boss and who else he might hire. . .

[ludomastro]

I appreciate the tone that you are all setting. Please keep it up.

@ 2bit

[ Spoiler ]

3 successes

Vick remembers that they traced some informatioin back to the Southern Conservatives; however, the bulk was traced back to the Southern Democrats. Forner President Ivory McCabe (Southern hated that the True American coalition had unseated her and privately vowed to get back at them.

[2bit]

Alex: While Vick waits for others to join the chat room - did Smoking Man leave anything in the room? cigar butt maybe, or that bit you cut off the end?

also:

[ Spoiler ]

So no leads on the hirelings that did the job?

[ludomastro]

Unless you count the smoke, no. Cigar Smoking Man is just as clean as the Krispe Kreme.

@ 2bit

[ Spoiler ]

Most likely they were runners. No info on identities ever came to light.

@ All

I will try to post again today; however, I feel like someone much bigger and stronger than me (a troll perhaps) used me for a punching bag last night. I have a doctor's appointment here in about half-an-hour.

[ludomastro]

I was wiped out last night. After my first round of antibiotics, I am feeling a bit better. Let me know if you (or your characters) need anything.

Thanks,

Alex

[Thanee]

I'm expecting the credsticks to be just that... but if you want to have some roll or something... :)

Bye
Thanee

[ludomastro]

No, you're fine. The credsticks aren't laced, this time.... :spin:

[ludomastro]

Ok, it's late and I have Church in the morning, so I'll bid you all goodnight. I check the threads about once, maybe twice a day so if you post IC or need an answer OOC, I'll get to you pretty quick.

I am assuming that good St. Patrick kept a few people up and away from keyboards this weekend.

:read: GM eyes new toy left by USPS - Street Magic!

[2bit]

After we leave the Krispy Kreme I'll make the call to my fixer, and inquire about a safehouse.

[ludomastro]

[Cedric Rolfsson]

Just FYI for all future posting. I almost never post on weekends, that's my family's time. I will usually post two to three days a week multiple times during the days but almost never on a weekend.

[ludomastro]

I have no qualms with that at all, CR. I fully appreciate the need for family time.

[2bit]

I'm similar, I rarely ever post on weekends.

[Cedric Rolfsson]

2bit, does your character and Dean know each other?
