Yes.

Also as you can see above, there will be one new player joining the team. Anything you all feel you are missing with the team that is assembling?

A quick Data Search on Underground 93 -> 4+3+4=11 hits

Underground 93 comes back null results.

A search for Underworld 93 however.... Results from 11 hits:

Underworld 93 4819 96th Avenue East, Puyallup District, Seattle.
From the outside, this mostly unassuming building appears as a ferrocrete warehouse retaining many of the industrial elements of its initial design. Only the tall AR-enhanced marquee outside blazing its name betray its true nature during off hours. Last year, its long-time manager, Al Costanzo passed away and was replaced with a dwarf named Vince O’Halloran. The club is a fixture in the nightlife of Seattle and has been for well over twenty years. Mercurial. DarkVine. JetBlack. Shield Wall. CrimeTime. Melody Tyger... The top names started here and still come back here. One of the top ten night spots in Seattle; tickets are hard to get and sell out fast.

Yep. Welcome, Chunan! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hmm... no, not really.

Heh. No, certainly not.

But that wasn't what I meant there... it was the response from Jazz's sophisticated Browse Program. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Did you mean <corrected query>?

[Grinchy McScroog...]

Yep. Welcome, Chunan! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks! After running solo for the past couple months, I'm really looking forward to rolling with a group cuz it's a lot more fun that way. And Redjack has proven that street muscle ain't got no charisma. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/embarrassed.gif)

"CU@Java Joes@10?"

I was suggesting we meet up at the Java Joe's coffee shop near Underworld 93 an hour before the meet.
Oh well.

[Thanee]

Whoops! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/embarrassed.gif)

I retroedited a reply to that message into my last post. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Couple of quick questions: I know when Jazz arrives, what time does everyone else arrive.

I know how everyone but Kit gets there. (Too bad no one met you for Coffee. I'll post in a little sequence with Jane in my catch up post.)

I'm not sure how far away Chunan is from Underworld 93. I'm guessing no more than an hour away. Chunan needs to hit up a Stuffer Shack not too far from Underworld 93 so he can freshen and grab some food. I'd like to have him walk to Underworld after he freshens up, but only if that won't make him late. If there's a chance to grab fresh clothing without being late, he;ll take that too. I'm aiming to have him get there by 10:50am if possible.

I can write another post filling in the time, if you give me an idea of how it'll take him to get there and which of the options I described is available and/or within the time-frame.

He is probably a 20 minute walk right now. Round trip to a stuffer shack and down to UW93... less than an hour. Plenty of time to kill.

Okay putting together a short post, including Chunan's visit to Akbar's Stuffer Shack. If you have an address you'd like me to use, let me know. Otherwise, it's just gonna be a random address in the vicinity.

[Grinchy McScroog...]

For choosing the correct clothing:
Intuition + Disguise [defaulting] = 4 - 1 = 3 --> [6,3,4] = 1 hit

Jumped back to the 5 minutes between when Kit arrived at the table and Jazz arrived at 1058.

Glitched the roll.

Smell Perception Observe in Detail - check out Underworld 93, the shotgun wielding human, Tiny, and Chunan. P1 + I5 +3 smell Vomeronasal Organ with Eidetic Sense Memory I'll roll it unless you want to make the roll. Eidetic Sense Memory An adept with this power has the ability to memorize all types of sensory input. Besides perfect photographic visual memory, the adept can recollect sounds, textures, tastes, and smells - and any combination thereof. The adept can recall these sensory impressions at will, and will remember who or what they have memorized in future encounters. The adept can also photo-read, greatly increasing their reading speed.


Checking if being followed (note time at Java Jane was so she could check the scents of those around her plus she likes to smell the coffee).

Please link rolls and post all rolls. To link, select "Insert Special Item" and select "URL".

Trying Again
A character may attempt a task she has previously failed, but each successive attempt incurs a –2 dice pool modifier.

Kit:
Disguise roll - Disguise(1) + Intuition(5) [3,1,2,2,4,1] = 0 hits
Disguise roll, trying again - Disguise(1) + Intuition(5) + Second Attempt(-2) [5,6,6,5,1,6] = 4 hits

Also from a story telling perspective, it would be cool to see your IC post contain descriptions about the disguising.

While feeling slightly rebuffed by the Japanese greeting

LOL, that was my first thought... "dude, he's chinese!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks! I felt it would be really odd if my character didn't react to it, at least internally. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif)

BTW I should mention that I work nights (EST), so with a quick sequential posting thread like you guys had this morning, you probably won't see anything from me right away (depending in the time of day of course). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif)

That's cool, as for the greeting while chunan is Chinese Revan doesn't know that and being of Asian decent himself he was only being polite for his heritage and greeting him in his own fashion.

I figured it was probably something like that. Historically, SR (and Cyberpunk in general) has always had a strong Japanese-focused theme. Any character unaware of the differences would automatically greet an Asian in Japanese. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
