T-Town, A game in Alabama Options

[Meriss]

Still here. Ashamed that it's taken me this long to post.

Lessee, Rolls.....

I'm not sure.

I don't have any Search skills or relevant Knowledge Skills. Which is kinda stupid of me. Alex help? Unless you want to do a series of Observe in Detail actions or do it as an Extended Perception Test.

[ludomastro]

Well, you could opt for working your contacts. Or the friends of your contacts. Or the friends of the friends of your contacts. Roll Etiquette and let me know the total number of successes and what information you are hunting.

[Redjack]

Thanks for the check in. I think he is still doing training.

I talked to him when he got home. I'm sure he's just catching up with family time...

[ludomastro]

No worries.

FYI: I've been fighting computer viruses all day so my computer has been rebooting like mad. I'll keep you guys posted.

[ludomastro]

It's been a week for fist. If I don't see a post in the next couple of days, I'll remote him for a post or two.

[Redjack]

Alex is dealing with virus or two again... and RL ate Fisty.

[ludomastro]

OK, my computer is back and thus I can post.

I have yet to hear from Fisty, so I'm going to work something up for him in the next IC post. I'll mark time in a post to keep us on the page.

Now that I'm back, is Meriss still with us?

[Redjack]

Wow... Another game where I alone again..

[ludomastro]

It's getting to be something of a habit there, RJ. What are you thinking?

[Redjack]

I would prefer a recruitment drive as opposed to another solo game.

[ludomastro]

Sounds good to me. I'll work on a recruitment post.

[fistandantilus4....]

It's been a week for fist. If I don't see a post in the next couple of days, I'll remote him for a post or two.

I'm okay with wearing a dunce cap declaring me an "ass" for a while. Sorry about that guys. We went all 'hermit' over here for a while. I will be here. I will be around. I will keep up. Promise.

Assuming that RJ and I are enough, from where I last left off, rolled up some info on the physical site, and we were going to have a gander on the place. Catch me up?

Again, profuse apologies. I'm now set into my new command, I'm working, getting re-integrated into the human race and out of living just in our house and head space.

[ludomastro]

Welcome back!

Let me ponder on that thought. I have been running some recruitment activities so we may be hitting the fast forward button.

[fistandantilus4....]

Whatever you need. Semper gumbi.

[ludomastro]

I didn't realize the green guy was a Marine. Who knew? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Unless there are objections, I will hit the Fast Forward button once the recruitment activities are wrapped. That way we all pick up at the same time.

[ludomastro]

OK, possible conflict with the new crop. Please mosey over to the recruitment thread and check out this post.

[fistandantilus4....]

I've got no problem with having a partner in matrix crime personally. It looks like MITNick's style and the char Karoline was suggesting would mesh pretty well too. She mentioned being a bit of a shut in, Nick's socially akward out side of the matrix, and so on. And they could go along way with covering each other's weaknesses. It'd be great having a social guy again as well, since Meriss is gone.

Contacts:
Jake 'JJ' Johnson (Bartender & Street-Level Fixer) 3/4
A tall, handsome guy with short, brown hair. JJ is one of the bartenders of the Concrete Beach nightclub, who is upping his salary by working as a fixer. While he is not super successful, he gets to know a lot of people through his job, which makes acquiring new contacts and customers quite a breeze. A few years ago, he had a short relationship with Mel, but they simply weren't made for each other, at least not in a long-term sense. They did stay friends afterwards, however.
Kassandra (Talismonger) 2/1
An old amerindian dog shaman, who operates a talismonger shop in Tuscaloosa.
Ryan Kreuzer (Mechanic) 1/1
The repair guy from the garage, where Mel gets her wheels fixed.

Appearance:
Raven is an attractive young woman in her mid-twenties. She is of average height and has a slender and willowy figure, with shoulder-long, black hair, typically worn open or in a pony tail. Her green eyes are usually covered behind a pair of orange-colored sunglasses. She mostly dresses in black, but her wardrobe also includes a wide range of fancy clothes, including some rather skimpy outfits. Thanks to her job, she is quite used to wearing revealing and seductive clothes, and she doesn't really mind the attention it offers. Her typical dress consists of tight-fitting black leather pants with knee-high heeled boots, a dark purple blouse, long-sleeved with a modest cut, and a gothic-style black leather corset, as well as a black mid-length overcoat. On her left wrist she often wears a silver bracelet with intricate engravings, her power focus, and there are a few rings on her fingers at most times.

Background:
A traumatic experience in the past left her in a state that few manage to get out of. Hooked up to BTLs and with no motivation or drive left, she was basically destined to wither and fade. Noone would have cared. But Mel was lucky, and she made it out. At first, she didn't think it was real (and even nowadays, where she knows better, she isn't entirely sure), or just a figment of her drug-induced imagination. Whatever it was, it made her curious and it made her follow. It made her take the first few steps of what would become a new life, eventually.

It took a few years, while she learned a lot from her new mentor, until she was ready for a more civilized life. Time heals many a wound, and so it did for her. These things lie in the past now, buried and forgotten. The change she went through made her an entirely new person. She is now able to see the world in a different way, and thanks to her gift and the training, she can talk to spirits and even bend the mana to her will.

Thanks to JJ, with whom Mel had a rather short-lived, but pretty wild relationship, she was able to secure a job in the Concrete Beach nightclub; not the best job, but there are worse, and it pays the rent. She is still unsure, whether there was some kind of revenge for their breakup involved, that she now has to deliver drinks to the patrons in a rather skimpy outfit in front of his grinning face, but on the other hand, there wasn't much else available at the time, so she took the opportunity for what it was. As already mentioned, it pays the rent. And the working hours are flexible. JJ also managed to get her a fake identification, which was required to get employed and to rent the loft she lives in now. He also introduced her into the shadows, and an entirely new source of income, where her gift is a highly sought-after talent.

Lifestyle:
Got this nice place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Halfway between Northport and the Tuscaloosa Regional Airport. Old warehouse, now a so-called loft, top floor. Pretty fancy and laid-back at the same time. And let me tell you, it's huge. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford a lot of furniture, yet, so it's only sparsely decorated, but it has all you need. Well, most of it. And I rather spend my money on decent food, really, and to get around town, chill, have some fun. And fashion shopping, of course. While it's not the best neighborhood, it's not the worst either. And as it seems, the security has the area rather low on their priority list, but the locks and stuff are pretty much state of the art. The Matrix connection is really slow for some reason, too. But as a plus, the rent is more than fair. And it does have a nice view towards the airport through an all-glass front. Of course, that goes both ways. Had to put up some room seperators to get some privacy. While I'm certainly not too shy and bashful about myself, there are limits, understood? Underneath, there is a secure parking facility, got a big place there. Plenty room for a car and even a bike. Overall, it's been a very good deal.

Hey guys, why not drop those character sheets between spoiler tabs to save some space/scrolling down the page?) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ok, apart from coming up with names for 9 contacts, about the only thing I've got left to do is talk to Alex about a bike.
