Smoke

[ Spoiler ]

I follow you. The spirit speaks low and dismal.
Obtaining cronies our we? Peirce says into your mind. Followed by a small laugh.

You all arrive at about the same time. Giving looks to one another, with one hand on your gun. The tension can be cut with an knife, when a voice is heard.

Welcome.
Each of you turn to the source. Standing a few yards away is a short bald man. He is wearing Blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a brown jacket. He also has one eye sewn shut.
Im glad all of you could make it. I am Calypso. The reason I've called you hear is becuase I have some work that is a bit touchy, but needs to be done. I am aware of what it is that you're willing to do and dont do. I see you've gotten aquainted. Good. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a scrawled peaice of paper.
In my hand is a list of people I need dead, and specifications on how I want them dead. Reaches into another pocket and pulls out a disc. And this is how you can prove how each of them die. I want their murders recorded onto this disc. When the job is done, call me on the number on the list. We make the exchange, you make some money. My price per kill on the list will be 5k. Split between each of you. Any questions?

[fistandantilus4....]

Cat regards the little man from behind her shades, still standing, her arms crossed.
She switches on her white noise generator in her pocket before she speaks.
Yes, I have a few things to say.

First, what sort of people are these? If you've got a list of affialiated people, or those within the same organization, it will get harder as it goes. Second, it depends on the deatils of how you want them dead. The more complicated it is, the more difficult it will be for us to perform it. Which will mean a higher likely hood of being caught.

I don't know these people any more than I know you. But they don't strike me as common street muscle. Neither am I. If you're going to offer street thug prices, I suggest you call street thugs. You can't really expect me to commit a complicated homicide for under :nuyen: 2,000 ? The more complicated it is, the more attention it will get, especially from the media.

As I said, I do not know these people, but they certainly don't seem new to this. Neither am I. I for one will need more details about the types of targets and deaths, and much higer pay, if you want me for this.

Cat conitnues to scanning the area from behind her shades for any other muscle Mr Johnson might have with him, and aits for the other "runners" reactions.

[Lady Door]

Smoke watches the woman with interest and nods slightly to herself.
Well now, this little cat has claws... interesting.
Smoke takes a step forward, joining the group of three. She's dressed in a long and flowing black silk sari. Another length of silk wraps around her head, forming a cowl that covers her face. Her hands (what can be seen of them) are covered in black gloves. Red hair spills out of the cowl and falls to her waist.
I agree with the woman. As you said, you have a "desperate need" for our services and "lack of morals"... a desperate need means a higher price. I, for one, would not consider anything less then 3000 per head. Anything less then that and you insult my abilities and my time.
I would also require details. I understand that your type feels the need to keep such information from us until after the arrangements have been made, but I really don't care. What type of targets are they and how will they be killed?
Spirit, guard me, but do not materialize until I call for you.

[fistandantilus4....]

3,000 is a semi decent price for nobodies. This had better be a list of nobodies if that's what you're paying. I don't care much if they're nobodies or somebodies, but I'm not going to put my time and efforts into homicide unless I'm properly compensated for it. Especially if you're looking for a killing spree.

[ludomastro]

Calypso, if you truly know as much about us as you say then you know that I have my own uses for those that you would have us kill ... how did you say it? In very specific ways? Yes, I agree with this young woman over here - we will need a bit more compensation.

Let's see what this mortal looks like on the astral.... Interesting.

[SinN]

Alex
Roll accensing

Smoke/ShadowCat

Smoke has the uncouth flaw, cannot roll for any Charisma based test.

[fistandantilus4....]

Influencec (G) 2 + Charisma 5

[ Spoiler ]

5,6,5,4,2,4,1=3 net successes

[SinN]

Alex

[ Spoiler ]

You see nothing. And I mean nothing. He's masking himself, you can tell that much, but on the astral, its as if he doesnt exist.

Calypso sighs, and looks annoyed.
As far as anyone else is concerned, you are street thugs...killers. The task isnt that diffacult. Either we can bicker about money, or we can get down to bussinness. If the job is done right, quickly, and discreetly, there will be a bonus pay for it. An extra 5k per person. These are my terms. Wether it suits your fancy or not. Do we have an agreement?
He looks at the three, waiting for an awnser

Smoke/Alex

[ Spoiler ]

Roll perception, or astral perception if you have it.

[fistandantilus4....]

Thugs? You have no honor, and obviously no experiece in this sort of thing. Have fun finding mroe "thugs"

Cat turns and walks out of the meet.

[Lady Door]

Assensing Test

[ Spoiler ]

Assensing 2 + Intuition 4 + Edge 3: 9, Result: 5,5,5,6,(4),3,2,4,4,2
Total: 4 successes

Smoke listens as the other woman speaks and then nods, pulling her cowl around her tighter.
Listen, I'm bored with this already. You want common street thugs, go find yourself some. I'll pass.
Smoke looks Calypso up and down again and turns on her heel, headed out the door.

[SinN]

Smoke

[ Spoiler ]

You assence 4 watcher spirits around the warehouse. Wether or not they belong to Calypso, you dont know.

ShadowCat
You speak of Honor as if you have any. Why do you think I called you hear? If walking away is what you enjoy, then walk as long as you like.

Calyspo looks annoyed, but does nothing to stop you.

[fistandantilus4....]

You are a foolish gaijin. You must have honor to be able to understand it. You've proven your own foolishness by insulting the people you say you need help from. You have already driven a wedge between two of us and your self. I suppose as for this man, the question remains. I only hope he knows the saying of following a fool.

Miko says it as she's walking out, never turning to face the man, but watching him with her fly drone.

[SinN]

My job isnt to impress you. Nor any other Johnson. Wether or not you like me I couldnt give a rats-ass about. The job is how it is. If you dont like it when the big bully picks on you, then find a new line of work, toots. If you want work, then turn around. Either way, I dont care. Take it or leave it.

Still standing, no facial expression, arms crossed.

[Lady Door]

Smoke raises an eyebrow at the Watcher Spirits but doesn't break her stride.
Spirit, watch over me. Do not let this man or these spirits hinder me in any way.
Smoke walks back out through the door she entered. Once outside, she sighs.
What a regrettable waste of time, Pierce.

[fistandantilus4....]

Once outside, Miko turns to the covered woman, looking her up and down once.

Go for a drink omae?

[Lady Door]

Turning to face the Japanese woman, Smoke smiles under the cowl.
Omae? How delightful...
When Smoke speaks, she does so in lightly accented Japanese.
I would like that...omae. Smoke bows at the waist.

[fistandantilus4....]

My vehicle is this way. I would like to stick around for a moment though. I don't trust this J, and I'd rather know whether or not the man is staying with him.

Cat walks away from the building but ,leaves a second fly spy in place outside, and sends the incoming signal from the inside and outside drones to the strange womans commlink.

I am called Shadowcat. What do I call you?

Miko's japanese accent is still obvious, but not so strong that her english comes out garbled,

[Lady Door]

Smoke smiles again at the womans' precautions.
I am called Smoke, Shadowcat. I to do not trust this... J. He is a mage, capable of spirit summoning. Someone to be wary of.
Smoke turns and regards the door to the warehouse, waiting to see if anyone else leaves.

[SinN]

ShadowCat

[ Spoiler ]

The drones detect two lifeforms in the warehouse. Aprently something is being discussed. Not sure what though.

[fistandantilus4....]

Then there's no reason to stay where he can see us.
Miko continues to move away from the warehouse, stopping to stop in an alley, and summons a pair of watcher spirits.

Watch for me, warn me of any other spirits trailing us.

To the second Watch the building, let me know when each of the men leaves.

With the drones, key in the audio sensors. Miko was the only one running a white noise generator, so there shouldn't be any interference.

[SinN]

The first spirit returns.
There are spirits following you. Four of them. And something is following your friend. Something odd. Not from the meet.

[Lady Door]

Smoke follows Shadowcat curiously, when she stops to summon Smoke's eyes alight.
So, you too have the Talent?
Smoke summons her own watcher spirit, calling it to her side.
Spirit, watch over the other watchers, report to me their movements... This is getting interesting, isn't it Pierce?

[fistandantilus4....]

I have many talents. Summoning is one of them. You do as well then? The more I think on it, the more I'd like to simply remove this arrogant gaijin.
