Into the Chaos (OOC) Options

[Mulcarn]

The goal post keeps getting moved anytime we make any headway and a new arbitrary challenge is thrown at us. Nyx (and everyone else) had already negotiated with Casa earlier in the story. In fact that's why we were supposed to be paid such a weighty sum for our efforts. We do our part in full and prove that they are selling pixies clones to vampires via smugglers in the sewers and subsequently capture the farm by force. But that changed with the Mafia wussing out at the last second and the Alliance basically just telling us to go away. Leaving us having to fix their shit for them. Or Just Nyx depending on how you want to look at it.

My point being is that we are consistently blocked from achieving any meaningful progress and railroaded immediately after when we try to remedy that. We thought that the Mafia lawyers would settle the legalities of the affair once they arrived. Except they were blockaded by the Alliance as a last ditch effort to stall for time long enough to regain control of the farm. We fix this problem and let them through only to discover that all of our efforts didn't matter since they aren't going to pay us till we perform this new contrived side objective. Namely, in the form of finding a magical gardener and overseer. Else the farm is worth virtually nothing. Which makes zero sense in any logical and reasonable form.

[Gilga]

Well - you secured the farm and then found a buyer pro bono - because your overall share (Casa included) is 30% of that property. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Gilga]

I'll need a medicine roll for Simone. Threshold 3.

[Mercy]

Simone First Aid

First Aid: 15d6t5 6

Above the threshold.

[Gilga]

@Kurim - to remind you-you stole a payload from the farm - orders and shipments. Now might be a good time to try and sell it (or in a few days) I am remaining because it was long ago IRL.

[Imladir]

Maybe I should avoid answering for some time, no?
With Nyx being in the morning (somewhere around 10 I think?) it's becoming a bit confusing with the rest of the group being early in the night (if not earlier).

[Gilga]

Well, I think it is for the best like this - because it won't be very exciting RPing sleeping late. This way ost of the characters have something to do.

[Kuirem]

Sorry people I was away from home for a week but looks like we are still near the Joke so I guess it's fine.

For the karma we've got previously I checked again and it was 23 karma not 21 (I had it saved in Chummer).

You are right to remind me about the payload completely forgot about it. Does Wheely have any idea how much it would be worth?

[Gilga]

I think that Wheely got a bonus karma for fetching the payload. He has no idea how much it is worth and it worth different for different people. Just have him work his contacts for that, I think that both the Finnigans would like the client list of the former owner. (to keep the biz running as smooth as possible.) and perhaps Grail would like to know the 'other' client list as he now owns a large number of pixies.

Not that I guarantee that these would work - but just of the top of my head what Wheely might think.

[Ennui]

So how do you want to play the border crossing? Does my fixer hook me up or will I have to trek over the border and trade cars that way? How much do you want to RP it or do you just want to handwave it and say it takes x hours/days?

[Gilga]

My idea was to send you with a truck of cigarettes to meet with the Coyote which will then make the arrangements to cross the border. Giving you a new contact if you behave - but ofc Irris can just try to sneak into Seattle. However, since it is a city-state - it will definitely involve getting over some barrier I think. A fence or a 'wall'. I believe that Irris is capable one way or the other.

[Ennui]

Irris isn't really keen to play along with a scheme of someone who betrayed the group. She'd like to get back as soon as possible.

[Gilga]

Obviously - though if he wanted her dead he could just have done so. At any case, Irris is not in her own car. That one is still where she left it. She is a few hours away at best.


At any case feel free to RP stopping the car, doing whatever you like with it and then getting your equipment. It will take you a few hours to get to the borders and there you need to defeat a smart fense. You can try and hack it - but it has powerful protections - other than that you can either climb it or somehow destroy it hop over it... you name it. Its height is 3 meters. (figuring out that worlds with trolls build higher fences...)

[Ennui]

My fixer doesn't answer or he just can't help?

[Gilga]

Did not see you texting him, he'll want 2k to 'fix' this.

[Mulcarn]

Sorry for not responding IC. I was detained by the police for "suspicious" behavior. Meaning - They were bored and saw me walking downtown and wanted to fuck with me.

[Gilga]

Just tell them that you are not really a pyromaniac mage with a trail of dead bodies in his past... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

but yes, that is awfuil - how long were you delayed?

[Mulcarn]

They stopped me on Monday and took me to their precinct for questioning. After a few hours they let me go. Downside was that I was on my way to work and I had to explain to my bosses why I didn't show up and why the cops were interested in me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

[Gilga]

So who is getting dirty in the sewers.

[Ennui]

I'll trade him for a car full of cigarettes =D

[Mercy]

Kynos, Sovereign, and Simone are going into the sewers, to my knowledge.

[Kuirem]

Welp if Wheely ain't invited I guess someone has to stand guard. And he was SO looking forward paddling into sewage, not.

[Jack_Spade]

@gilga

Now I'm confused, why is Wheely suddenly down with us? We only have two hazat suits (for Sovereign as the patient and Simone as the physician). Kynos wears his FBA with chemical seal. Wheely would have to use a gas mask and trudge through raw sewage

[Gilga]

I don't know - it is not recomended to enter without proper protection. I'll wait for clarification from Wheely.

[Kuirem]

I have no idea either, at first I thought I wasn't down there and suddendly I was added. I was a bit busy IRL so I just went with it not really thinking but yeah I'm probably watching the cars.
