Living in the Shadows: OOC, never relax... Options

[Scrapheap]

WR1-
As Max is asking his questions, John is going to see if he can get closer to the kitchen w/o being too obvious. Then he'll listen for the tell-tale clinks and so forth of tea-making... or for the sounds of Mrs. Wong calling the Star! (thanks for adding to the paranoia, Slip!)

Let me know if you'd like some rolls or an IC post to reflect this.
-S

[Slipshade]

Scrap - No problem, this is Shadowrun after all. :)

[Scrapheap]

Here we go...

WR1, any chance either of us remember the name on the administrator's office door?

[WinterRat1]

Scrap- As per my IC post, Mrs. Wong made tea and brought it to you, and you could easily see and hear her making tea from where you were (it's a condo, so you can see the living room from the kitchen and vice versa).

[Slipshade]

And the BS is getting thicker...Max is so going to jail. :)

[WinterRat1]

And you're smiling about that? :spin:

[Slipshade]

Well, it could be fun roleplaying Max trying to survive prison, though as a player I am trying to avoid that. :D

[Slipshade]

They are stalling. Do you by any chance have a commlink/radio Scrap.

[WinterRat1]

Slip- Don't forget to adjust the time on your time/date stamps. You didn't change them on the last two posts now. Just a reminder.

[Slipshade]

Doh, sorry!

[Slipshade]

LOL! I kind of thought you might react that way. :)

[Scrapheap]

WR1-
Let me know if you need other rolls.

[ Spoiler ]

I don't have intimidation, but I do have interrogation/torture at 4:
08 07 02 01

I'm not sure what the target number would be, or if it is even applicable.

I don't know if Etiquette/corp, negotiation, or leadership would be applicable in any way.

Also, if Mr. Wong makes any sudden moves or calls out, John will quickdraw a pistol.

[ Spoiler ]

11 05 03 03 02 (05 04 03 01)

The rolls in parentheses are my modified reaction. I can't remember if those count or not.

[WinterRat1]

Scrap/Slip- Robert is sitting there calmly, and Marina is doing exactly what I said IC. Slip, you detect no hostility or intentions of violence or sudden moves from either of them. Interestingly enough, they're amazingly calm and composed, not just outside, but their auras as well. Your guys' move.

[Slipshade]

Perception test if needed.

[WinterRat1]

Slip/Scrap- I'll get you guys tomorrow

Sedna/Paul- Are either of you waiting on me? Sedna, was my answer to the calculations of the prices from my last reply sufficient, or was there something else you needed from me that I missed?

[paul_HArkonen]

I think we're waiting on me... I had run into a few things IRL, I should be back to it more so this week, sorry about that.

[Sedna]

I know the feeling. Tried to get some major catch-up work on Sunday. Can scarcely spot that anything was actually accomplished.

Now that you've cleared that up, paul, I should have something later today to fill the gap until 5 pm. WinterRat, absolutely it was sufficient. It's just that it was a particularly hectic Friday-Sunday ... if far better than for many people.

Karma tomorrow.

(Oh, and pet peeve for the day: through, not "thru", fast food drive-"thrus" notwithstanding :))

[WinterRat1]

Slip/Scrap- Sorry for the delay, I was debating what would be appropriate given your IC role-playing and the Wong's personalities and background, and I came to the conclusion another etiquette/interrogation/intimidation roll is in order before coming to a reply that can be posted. So, each of you pick one of the above skills and give me a roll, and I'll let the dice be the deciding factor here, since the role-playing is too close to call.

Use etiquette if you're trying to take the 'good cop/soft sell' approach (seems like what Max has been doing) or interrogation/intimidation if you're taking the 'bad cop/hardball' approach (what John has mostly been doing). Of course, feel free to switch roles/approaches, that is just to give you a picture of how you should choose your skill. Don't worry about posting anything IC though, since you've already done that. After I get rolls from each of you, I'll post the Wong's response.

Sedna- OK, just wanted to check and make sure that I had given you enough information to go thru...er, through until 5pm. :)

[Slipshade]

WinterRat1 - I will use my ettiquette, I know you said Ettiquette (Corp) before, but since the Wongs seem to run in some of the same circles that Max did would Ettiquette (High Society) work without a penalty?

Either way it is the same roll for me just different modifiers.

[ Spoiler ]

I think I may be spending a lot of Karma on Face skills soon. With a 7 Charisma, I may as well.

Ettiquette (High Society: 03, 03, 02

I will use a Karma to re-roll any failures. (I am guessing all of them)

Ettiquette (High Society) : 10, 05, 09

Wow if there was ever a time to roll that good, I think that was it.

If that is still not enough, I may burn the Karma for an automatic success.

I am on vacation this week, but I will still try to stick my head in often to post.

[Scrapheap]

WR1/Slip-
Sorry for my delay.

[ Spoiler ]

I think John softened a bit at the end, so I'm going "soft-sell." I can always harden if needed

I don't know which etiquette, so I"ll post rolls for both.

E: Street (5)

E: Corp (3)

Basic Rapid Transit heavy jumpsuit was legal and popular and had a reasonable Availability, yes? No book, working from memory -- just tell me what to roll / what's appropriate. If you rule it's not, revise to securetech clothing of a similar cut.

That puts Alleycat at the same location and time as Blaze and Klaus.

[grendel]

Conc Ball Imp Wt Avail Cost SI
Light Jumpsuit 8 1 2 1 4/24 hrs 250¥ 1 Legal
Heavy Jumpsuit 6 2 4 2 4/24 hrs 500¥ 1 Legal

[WinterRat1]

Paul- Did you have anything you wanted Blaze to do between dropping Alleycat off and the meeting later that night with her and Klaus? If so, let me know in the OOC thread and post as necessary. Until I get the 'all clear' from you, I can't move Alleycat forward since I won't know what Blaze has done (if anything) before he showed up.

So let me know if there's anything you need to do first, otherwise I'll take over and post with Alleycat and Blaze meeting up with Klaus at the Paradigm Shift.
