OOC: Shadows of Conflict Options

[Buddha72]

Run 1 - The Skeeze
With no real proof gathered for the set up Kimi would go with the other plan suggested and frame him for leaking company secrets or conspiring with a competitor.

Run 3 - The Hitter
At this point it seems the landlord is sick and is as responsible as he can be for his actions. Kimi will agree to Azzo's request to get him treatment somewhere else. She will ask Azzo if he is going to take responsibility for Townsend to make sure he stays in treatment and if not, then try to arrange to have him committed in such way that he can voluntarily leave the program until he is better.

Azzo has no problem with tough love for a brother Marine. Commit him to a tough program, move him to another city if required. When it comes down to brass tacks, getting Townsend help in a way that he keeps his kids (long term) is actually a best case scenario; a short term hardship is far better than the kids becoming orphans or Azzo turning his back on a down and out Marine. A relative who can look after the kids for the short term is a best case solution for them.

Charles would be more looking for the sure fire option of getting him fired, i.e., leaking company secrets. Not that Miko's idea isn't great, but it requires whoever the evidence goes to to care about a little double entendre and hinted suggestions. Leaking company evidence is, objective, more likely to get him fired in a permanent way.

Charles would be willing to go with that route if it seemed important to Azzo. Runner's should care what about their team members, right? Nothing short of helpful, and he's happily willing to help subdue Townsend if necessary to get the process started.

No reason to not do both, right?

Assuming Miko getting caught is a minimal risk, then no, no reason not to do both.

@All
In the interest of character development and building a sense of esprit de corps, something obviously important to Azzo, and something I would like to ingrain into character creation to provide a bond with the other team members, I'd like to add some historic team building things into his interactions with each team member. Azzo started off brash and very rough around the edges: Very low charisma, but with Etiquette R1.

@Thanee
Azzo has recently begun to be fascinated by other languages. Something {adept ability linguistics} draws him to spend some downtime with Miko. He is fairly fluent in Italian (his grandmother required they speak it at her house) and captivated by Japanese. He would be curious, though strangely somewhat shy, about his curiosity. I was thinking a trip to a Japanese tea garden and perhaps another outing (as team mates) would make some good bonding back story.

@Fenris
Following forward from my dialog with Thanee, Charles fluency in French would make a good segway toward commadre. Charles' enthusiastic support for a solution with Townsend along lines that Azzo seeks will cause Azzo to cement a degree of that in that a non-marine would take up the cause openly. This could lead to some off-time bonding between the two following the last run.

{Battery is dying. Will add more for the other characters later.}

Miko, being fairly new in Seattle (or America in general), only being around for a few months, would be interested in learning some more about the city, getting shown around, stuff like that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Giving Azzo some lessions in Japanese would certainly be doable, though Miko is not a trained instructor, and her english isn't perfect either (it's pretty good, though, R3).

@Satyr
With Mel being more of a physical asset (being a street sam), he and Azzo would have some common operational ground. Mel's police background vs. Azzo's criminal background leaves little common background, but their addictions might be a common ground.

If Kimi speaks fluent Algonkian, that might be an in for them. He is more than a little paranoid about the matrix and especially Black IC. One thing she would be able to learn is that there was some issue during his tour where his squad was hot SIM'd and it went bad; he changes the subject quickly though.

With a Seattle Area Knowledge skill R3, Azzo should be able to serve as a reasonable guide.

As he as the Adept Linguistics Power, she will be amazed at how good a teacher she is!!

[Buddha72]

Kimi does speak it fluently and would be happy to teach anyone willing to learn.

@ redjack, mel has a mild addiction too booze so they might share a drink now and than. Being a crminal now himself mel would be ok knowing a friend with a shadowrunner with a past, might find mel might have arrested some of azzos friends if they were in seattle though.

Drinking partners at least.

IC post is up. Please give a post describing what you are doing when the call comes in and let me know if you are taking any actions before the meet.

[Redjack]

Where is Falcone's ranch?

Edit: Errr... yea.. Where is the Top Side?

[Buddha72]

Is Top Side a place where we have met him before? if so, where and what kind of place is it?

[Redjack]

Top side: Street Knowledge: Seattle(3) + Intuition(5) + School of Hard Knocks(1) [3,4,1,2,3,5,1,5,3] = 2 hits

[BishopMcQ]

Buddha -- You have not met Falcone at the Top Side before.

Redjack -- Azzo will recognize it as a restaurant in the Snohomish area.

[Redjack]

Anyone on the team own a car? Azzo has a leased one with his lifestyle, but keeps that separate from work.

[Thanee]

Miko has a car (two actually, as her lifestyle also includes a leased car).

[Buddha72]

Kimi uses a motorcycle for working so if you're gear light she can pick you up. Out of curiosity where does the option or choice come in to lease a vehicle with a lifestyle?

[Thanee]

From Runner's Companion:

VEHICLES
Lifestyles totaling 20 LP or more include the cost to lease and maintain one vehicle. ...

Where is her doss? Downtown perhaps?

[Thanee]

Yep, Downtown. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@Satyr

Collins Pub. Is this [ 5th Ave & Olive ] correct? Downtown Neighborhood, Downtown District, Seattle?

[Thanee]

Miko's place will be near Kobe Terrace Park (Map). That seems rather fitting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
