Orion's world view is straight from the Sons propaganda leafleets - magic is corrupting, it destroys anyone it touches and so forth. He hasn't given it much thought actually, just been listening to what is said at the rallies. Ok so they don't say "shoot them!" but the sentiment is there, it's not that hard to extrapolate what the speakers are really thinking. But who knows? This might change if he was actually to speak to a mage :)

High Rise's view on mages is that they are people like everyone else, but they are people who are born with the ability to summon a tank or can enslave others with a thought. There must be a serious temptation to do that as several mages have shown over the years, so they must be monitored. Registration lets the government do that, all the others are under the jurisdiction of whoever happens to be passing by. What's the saying, "In God We Trust, In Everyone Else We Monitor."
If a mage avoids registration, that is "probable cause." If they avoid registration and never use their abilities, bonus points for the effort, but they should have registered. Registered or not if they use magic to the detriment of society.. Goodbye mage. |

@2bit:
Regarding last IC post (I don't know how to link directly to a single post..) when Alfred shows us the security cam footage - is it as he says, Malcolm, who handed it to Alfred or did he really say it was the manager, Jessie Reynolds? Cause if it was M.Jackson I'm curious about how he managed to get hold of this tape... thought it was Reynolds the manager who had contacted Alfred after Jackson came to him. This could also be me misunderstanding things :) |

The footage was from a camera that Jackson set up and recorded himself. I'll edit Alfred's dialog to make that clear.

Null's views on magic would also be almost straight out of their propoganda. Their power comes from hostile extradimensional forces, so they are, at best, unkowing collaborators who slowly (and inevitably) get corrupted by their powers. They can be "cured" by using drugs or cyberware to sever their link to their unholy power, but only if it is done before it turns them completely evil.
In a way, he views "normal" mages the same way that they would view insect shamans - as thralls of extradimensional beings with an utterly alien mindset who are hostile towards metahumanity. Also, as a former addict, he sees magic as another form of addiction, one that, like his, leads to inevitable moral and mental decay. |

lol :) love it.
I just want to say I'm happy with everyone's character so far and it's great that everyone has a different view on the subject. They're all valid in the world I've set up and in no way am I trying to press you guys into a one-dimensional mold. I hope you're enjoying the game so far. If you have any feedback, I'd like to hear it. Alfred has left the room. . . it's your show now! Get in there and take the reins. |

Malleus will have to leave the room and physically get Tinman's attention to order drinks. The paint in this room is blocking wireless signals, and Tinman is far too distracted to notice a text message anyway. |

Aww, a suit from a local vending machine won't cut it? :) What will the price be, just so I can deduct it? Otherwise I see us going into slight legwork phase until the breakfast monday morning.

To avoid OOC confusion, though IC confusion is fine Alfred is also the name of Tariq's (High Rise)'s 9 year old Steel Lynx.
btw, ¥1700-¥10+¥1000=¥2690 |

@Cakeman:
Let's say 300 :nuyen: will get you a basic off the rack suit. For 500 :nuyen:, you'll look like you make more money than these wageslaves. |

Seeing as it will be Malleus tailor, I'll deduct 600 :nuyen: from my money. There goes more then half the regular pay for the run... :)
Orion: 1500 :nuyen: starting money + 1000 :nuyen: pay - 600 :nuyen: suit = 1900 |

By the way: instead of using the :nuyen : tag which on subscribed thread e-mail and when pictures don't load right ends up displaying the tag text try using alt+0165. It uses the actual ¥ character instead of a .gif and is usable everywhere ascii characters are (I think). So it works on .txt character sheets as well.

Yes, sunday around 10 o'clock. I wasn't really planning on playing it out IC though unless it's considered good form. |

yoippari - thanks for the tip, but i have no idea how to use any ascii characters that don't appear on the keyboard. Malleus and Orion are getting a suit on Sunday. And no, I wasn't planning on running that scene either. Quick prep scenes for Saturday night and then fast forward to monday morning. The YBR scene may take a little longer, may not, depending on what Malleus wants to get out of it.

Hehe, nasty turn of events :) Still, it's best not to upset the regulars...
(Money for Orion: 1900¥ - 30¥ drinks = 1870¥. He's not going to drink as classy beverages as Malleus) |

Just to let you guys know, my posting might be a little sporadic until Thursday (the 5th). I have 3 papers due between now and then so finishing them up is going to take up a significant amount of my time. Sorry to inconviniance everyone but after this week I should be pretty much free.

Malleus has a data search still (electronics skill group) of 2 and a (newly purchaced) rating 6 browse program. Total dice = 8, Figured you might want do do the rolling since it's an extended test.
Previous funds = 6980¥ - 100¥ google subscription (rating 6 browse program) = 6880¥ |

What a waste of hits. Could you archive that roll for a disguise check or something? :)
umm, isn't browse ¥50 up to rating 3 or ¥100 up to rating 6? How do you get ¥300? |
