Rob - Need some help interpreting your post's tone, specifically this line:
QUOTE You ain't getting any more tonight than what you're scrapping right now In what tone is Bockscar speaking? At first read I thought it was supposed to be threatening, but in the context of the rest of the post it could be considered matter-of-fact. Would you please clarify, as his tone could influence the AK's response. |

Box delivered the whole spiel in a matter-of-fact, fairly conversational tone, the same way he would have talked with Child on the way out. He's trying to be quite polite without appearing weak.
There is, of course, a level of threat in the statement. Basically that sentence translates to "I don't think you will be able to salvage much more than these vehicles tonight, and even if you can I might have a problem with you doing so." Box is fine if the other dude is confused or decides to take offense. And box considers a level of implied threat also "matter of fact." |

@Pragma: NBD This was bound to happen eventually. Unless I miss my guess, Thumper wants to see what Theo and Ink will do, jes?
@Winter: Apologies, thought I had made it clear. "El Coyote" is usually *nowadays anywho* known to be a man or organization devopted to moving things and people from one place to another. Mostly illeagely. In our particular instance I was thinking that this is the man the LoCoS and other in their turf depended on to bring in shipments of semifinished drugs or possibly even raw. In other words I'm trying to increase Ink's usefulness to the October Ravens. |

I want to see what Ink and Theo will do, but Thumper really hasn't thought much through at this point. To give him credit for wanting to probe for reactions would be a stretch -- a more accurate read is that he's drunk and has poor impulse control.

Yah figured as much. One of those weird IC?OOC moments ain't it?
My main thing is I know about the wires, would Ink? I mean he's a lifer in the Gate, he's seen his share of nasty. Does he know what the random twitches in Thumper mean? @Winter: Rolling Peception to see if Ink can notice Thumpers activation of his wires 4d6.hits(5)=1 And adding a Kingsgate Gangs 5d6.hits(5)=3 to see if he knows what it means. |

I almost wish Bockscar was back at headquarters for the stream of shit-talking that Aziz's last announcement would have provoked. sigh...

Rob - An interesting argument from Bockscar. I enjoyed reading it. Go ahead and give me a Negotiation roll.
Meriss - Yeah, Ink's been around enough that with your rolls, he knows that the random twitches are indicative of Wired Reflexes, which are a fairly common piece of cyberware in Kingsgate. Everyone - I think I posted IC and OOC to everyone who was waiting on me, please let me know if someone is waiting on something from me. I really did intend to get to these IC posts sooner than I did. By way of explanation/apology, in addition to the aforementioned family issues, my calculus class has been murdering me (5-10 hours of calc every day) so once it's over at the end of July, I'll be able to pick the pace up again. Thanks for your patience. And the game keeps lurching onwards... |

Box's negotiations roll:
Charisma 4 + Influence 1: 5d6: [3,2,4,6,5] = 2 hits. Link to the roll. Whew! Low dice rolls like that are always nerve wracking. If there are any bonuses for having a good argument or whatever, I didn't take them into account. |

It would be nice if Bockscar was at the HQ for that, because I think the only other people there right now are Baby and the whores. Which wouldn't be much help on the mission Aziz needs to do, heh.

I'll try to get something going today. |

I gotta think about my post for you Grendel. Potentially major life turning point for Shade here, may as well do it justice. I have company coming up this weekend I have to prep for, so if I don't get it done by tomorrow, I'll get it done early next week.

@WR
Quick note, Thumpers actions towards Theodoro are predicated on him saying something about Grack's actions even though this didn't appear in the last IC post. I inserted it into my IC assuming that he would object somehow to Grack shitting in his store. If he had not yelled first, Thumper would likely have kept munching happily. |

Don't worry, it's perfectly fine to assume something that small; it created action for the scene and hopefully gave you, Meriss, and adamu something to roleplay.

And so is mine. Small very tense moment averted. Thank the Maker of Dice.
Sorry I'm so slow in responding. I've recently put my foot back in the dating pool, things went well. And now I'm moving to be closer to my lady love. *Sigh* Love, she is a harsh mistress. Harsh but rewarding. Hope everything in cyberland is going well! WOOT! DITG can never die. |

Okay - FINALLY I have managed to get my computer fixed here in the land of socialism.
Anything Grack would do IC at this point would merely restart the problem that was just resolved at the bodega, and one bit of silliness like that is enough. So he will continue to follow Ink and Thumper around with his music blasting his ears out. But I am back and watching things, and will jump in as appropriate. |
