You want to wait on mentioning all the new players until I catch up on all the Freaking Writing I Still have To DO???!
And I mean that in the nicest possible way (says the GM of the Blimp of Doom) smile.gif

We're just mentioning that we'll be getting some new targets...er, players in after the SR 4 conversion. Don't worry Sedna, you'll get your share of new victims too. :)

I shudder to think about what Cosmo would do to Max. It may be fun, but Max would likely be damaged for the rest of his life

You know who we should have meet Cosmo? Eyes. Heh heh heh.

Scrapheap: since you're the one who most often (and oh so well!) writes up situations in their entirety and including details of NPCs, just asking that at least through the initial introduction, you leave descriptions and reaction entirely to me? I promise I'll be monitoring through most of tomorrow -- only one talk, that day!

Beautiful woman... railgun... beautiful woman... railgun...

Decisions decisions. :D It's not like Eyes would last five seconds with either one.

Of course noone's saying that it's a choice between one or the other, either. :S

Oh snap. If Cosmo's breaking out the white suit, then Dragon is definitely gonna show up, vaguely humanoid-shaped things be damned. :love:

Sedna-

Well, at the moment he's downstairs at the bar -- almost exactly on time, as it happens -- and it doesn't look like Miranda's sending him up, although you're fairly sure (and can confirm with Finn, if you want to write it up in-post) that she's both got instructions to send him up, and that he's sent down a signal to remind her.

Bear in mind that what you can get from Max directly are astral impressions only. You will get that it didn't look like the guy was saying much at all, the initiative here seems to be entirely on Miranda's side.

What actions do you take? Ask me OOC if you want, I'll give OOC responses, and then you can write up the entire thing in-thread if you want, to his entering the room.

Let me know if you need me to edit.

And he did! and she acknowledged briefly -- but then apparently didn't act on it? On Finn's screens, looks as though she got distracted again.

Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 534 Joined: 25-January 05 From: Bug City Member No.: 7,016	Ok, edited. Let me know if you want to leave it like that, or if I should continue. If needed, John would go introduce himself and lead the shaman back to Max.

Dragon Group: Members Posts: 4,289 Joined: 20-April 04 Member No.: 6,260	Sedna- [ Spoiler ] OK I confess, I spent a long time trying to come up with what I considered a profile that a decker would put together regarding a target, and everything I came up with ran the risk of being either excessively ridiculous in terms of the sheer volume of writing/info I’d have to do as a GM, or most likely not specific enough for your purposes. For future reference, I am going to email the GMs and ask what they consider information a ‘basic’ profile should have. Until then, would you please just post in the OOC thread under a spoiler tag any questions you have regarding any or all of the following individuals: Alex Wong, Cynthia Wong, Mr. Fan, and I’ll answer IC as best as I can. It would make things a lot easier for me, and probably a lot clearer for you. Thanks for your help, I do want to give you the information you’re looking for (that would be available in the report of course) but I don’t want to create a ridiculously detailed profile and background for a character that may or may not be playing much of a (direct) role in the campaign, especially when I already have tons of other more important characters I have to compile personal information on. Thanks for understanding, and let me know if you have any questions. Hope this day is a little less busy for you than all your recent ones have been! :)

Shooting Target Group: Members Posts: 1,582 Joined: 6-August 04 Member No.: 6,546	Slipshade [ Spoiler ] You really don't want to know :) I'm trying to play it carefully -- given the themes I'm touching upon, let me know if I overstep. Oh, WinterRat: thanks for letting me take creative charge of Firebird Security and its employees :grinbig: Re dossier: go with grendel's e-mail for the moment, focus on which parts of life most call upon the SIN/credit card/credstick. Timeline overview also requested -- and we're needing the same thing for the (still anonymous) sister as well.

Running Target Group: Members Posts: 1,031 Joined: 23-April 04 From: Cal Free Member No.: 6,278	Sedna [ Spoiler ] Just trying to figure out if I should modify the way I write Max. He has a charisma of 7, though I am guessing Silverbird is well above that. Don't worry I am a big boy and secure enough in my sexuality not to be worried about the slightly homo-erotic episode you are putting Max through. He is heterosexual though, just so you know and can play up the discomfort if you like. Oh, and I have no idea how Silverbird is planning to help us. I don't have any books here at work and it has been a while since I looked up ritual magic, but Max is a novice anyway, so you may have to explain it to both of us. :)

Shooting Target Group: Members Posts: 1,582 Joined: 6-August 04 Member No.: 6,546	Prepared for just that. (Had to look it up myself.) And yes: definitely higher. You've probably already guessed it, but he's also clean of any kind of 'ware.

Shooting Target Group: Members Posts: 1,582 Joined: 6-August 04 Member No.: 6,546	Also, Slipshade: [ Spoiler ] It's less CH as such, rather the constant astral dual awareness that is bringing across the effect so much more strongly to Max. Outside that, most people do respond to aura but nowhere near as strongly; and Scrapheap's among those who seem least responsive: at least, he doesn't really seem affected at all.

Running Target Group: Members Posts: 1,031 Joined: 23-April 04 From: Cal Free Member No.: 6,278	Nope, I would be screwed as an dual-natured being if there were wards. :) Besides walls and ceiling are likely warded by the security company, but I have left the roof top open. [ Spoiler ] I haven't put any up yet. Kinda hard to take the time and spend karma in LiTS. :) I tend to put spirits on watch at night and since Max has an affinity for City Spirits free spirits and the like tend not to bother him to much.
