Really? I thought it was a good "futuristic dystopic cyberpunk" look, something that would fit in in the 2070's? Maybe I'm wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Anywho, that's just his day-to-day look, on runs he'll have on different stuff...still looking for a good pic for that, kinda gun-shy now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

its cool. the pic works fine for your character. I was just making a point that the color scheme is... well... bright (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Mach_Ten]

First of all, what're you doing up at this hour? Go to bed man!

And secondly, hmmm. I only knew of the one pic that I put on my character sheet. Guess I gotta go look...and I have a sneaking suspicion that SOMEONE is gonna regret pulling this prank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Prank? Moi? No no no, it's surely just an echo in the 'trix, reasserting it's material form and imposing itself upon you.
An echo of a future you, reverberating through time and.... Yeah fraggit, t'was me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Had the week off, so am up playing shenanigans

[phlapjack77]

Hehehe - well played sir, well played. Hadn't even thought to do something like this. Well, ok, the game is on!

For everyone else, please download the autowired.zip file and look at the pic inside. THAT is what "the kid" looks like

I opened the zip and put the pic in drop box for your character (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@Twitch_, I missed the commlink search part in your IC post so i added a quick spoiler edit to my next IC reply regarding that.

[Twitch_]

Gotcha.

[phlapjack77]

Finally saw the pic...

First called roll for the game...

Artemis, please make a Visual Perception test with a -1 modifier due to the weather conditions.

Ummm.... maybe that is why you are in debt... you can't see the dealers dealing from the bottom of the deck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Defaulting, -1 visibility, +3 contacts

BOOM!

I'm starting to draw a parallel between Artemis & Lobo, neither of us are any good at keeping money in our pocketsies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

**EDIT**

Yeah, this guys gonna snap me like a dry twiglet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Are you saying Lobo will snap you like a dry twiglet or the guy in the Mercedes? Or both? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm not sure how Lobo and Artemis will get along. Lobo is mostly philanthropic, and although originally enjoyed living the high life, both the tragedy with Lisbeth and his enforced penury have shown him how little those trappings mean (although he does miss the pleasures of hot water and real food).

Artemis seems (I could be wrong) a little more shallow, and depending how that plays out, that may rub Lobo the wrong way.

Not suggesting you change your character at all, just speculating (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You are not wrong, he's as deep as a puddle in the sahara at noon!
That doesn't mean he's a bad person, in fact he's come from the 'plex and swindled his way to mediocrity.

Just working on the next BIG thing, but he draws the line at stepping on people,
Considers himself a modern day robin hood, only In this version, Robin gets his cut! 70/30 sound fair?
Hey 30¥ is more than you had before right? Amirite? Or amirite!

He may not be very perceptive, but will avoid, or try to avoid angering those that can aid him, he's all about making friends, lots of friends, but hes as good at maintaining those false frienships as he is at keeping his ¥ in his credstick.

Artemis - Look out! It's Michael Weston!

If he pulls out duct tape, you are in trouble.

LOL. I must say he rocks the suit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[LordArcana]

Unless i have missed something currently this is roughly where everyone stands:

Sage (18:25:00) heading out the door of her place to catch the bus en route to the BBQ Pit. Estimated arrival time 19:12:00 with the bus drop off across the street from the BBQ Pit.

Artemis (17:10:00) sitting in the drive thru of Jack in the Box. Without any distraction its just a hair under thirty minutes directly to the meet. If he goes to meet @Autowired at work its 18 minutes there from leaving the parking lot and another 18 to the meet. Artemis remembers @Autowired gets out of work at 18:00.

Lobo (18:10:01) the cab arrives to pick him up. The ride is less than ten minutes putting him at the BBQ Pit no later than 18:20

@Autowired (18:00:00) gets out of work. The plan i believe was to race home get cleaned up and changed and head over to the meeting. Its only a short distance to where he keeps his clothes so he should be all cleaned and ready to leave his place by 18:45. He can be at the pit easily by 19:00:00.

******************

With the exception of Artemis, who has some quick decisions to make, feel free IC yourselves to the BBQ Pit. Once we have everyone there i will put up a generic IC describing the place and let all of you interact from there.

[Twitch_]

I edited my post to get Sage all the way to the BBQ. I also rolled Perception to look around once she gets inside, but I only got 1 hit.

At a birthday party. Will post later

[LordArcana]

At a birthday party. Will post later

No problem. We are getting ready to celebrate my sons and my wifes party in about an hour. I will catch up when everyone leaves. I'm just writing up the IC for the meet now.

[LordArcana]

I'm going to post IC up to the point of seeing the BBQ Pit. For those who arrive earlier than 19:30 feel free to IC actions if there is anything you want to accomplish before the meeting. Otherwise I'm going to hold off the actual conversation with Burn-out until all the runners get there so we are all on the same page.

[Lobo0705]

So, should we take into accounts the times you posted?

I'm just checking, because Lobo and Artemis are getting there over an hour before the meet (almost 2 hours early in the case of Artemis) - when does Burnout arrive?

It will affect my post (and potentially Artemis's)

I'm going for a chilled out drive and will arrive maybe 10-5 minutes early, just to help ya out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

A rough estimate i would say is that Lobo is the first runner to arrive which he is in the parking lot over an hour early. Second to arrive is Artemis but he stays in his Jackrabbit until a little before the meet to the second person to actually walk in to the restaurant would be Sage (about 19:12:00), then Artemis and followed lastly by @Autowired.

Burn-out is at the booth when Lobo arrives. He appears to be busy focusing nearly all of his attention in the AR as his hands move back and forth manipulating ARO's. The waitress brings him several glasses of what appears to be Ice Tea. As soon as he realizes you are there he smiles and motions you to come over and sit down.

Feel free to post up conversations or actions you would like to do while you wait. You have plenty of time before 19:30

[LordArcana]

Speaking of Autowired.... sorry phlapjack. I didn't mean to step on your toes moving your character ahead. I just figured you had already given a plan of what you were going to do so i just moved things ahead in the time line a bit. If you want to change or add anything feel free to make some mods (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[phlapjack77]

No worries about the autopilot. I don't seem to be posting as regularly as the other players, so do whatever you gotta do to keep things moving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I know we had quite a bit of momentum yesterday and I am fairly certain that was in part to having the day off from work plus it being a Friday. As winter gets here most of my hobbies tend to turn indoors so gaming comes to the forefront a bit more. I have small blocks of IC already prepared that occur at certain times or when certain events trigger the situation so it won't always be go go go... Once the meeting with Burn-out is over the story will return mainly to the players hands and move at your pace.
