Salvation OOC Options

[paul_HArkonen]

ok, I'm going to be doing all the posts for things like this in the world IC now, including the magic test.

[WinterRat1]

Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am around; between graduation from grad school, moving into a new apt, and trying to get adjusted to being in a new state by myself, RL has been extremely hectic. I realize it's me who's holding up the hunt for Melissa, I apologize and will get on it ASAP. Should be in the next day or two. Thanks for your patience!

[Sedna]

For the look, think drow meets "The Matrix"-style sleek black leathers, but with sneakers. All it's missing is a sword -- and right now she looks as though she'd know how to handle one.

[WinterRat1]

Assume that Tin Star and Dice will not show up to the meet, unless you want them to, in which case feel free to write them in, or tell me here in this thread, and I'll write them in. Otherwise, proceed as you will. You're supposed to use the same password as last time, in case you forgot: "Mutual Interest"

[Sedna]

Fast-forwarding through about half an hour, if that's okay ...?

[paul_HArkonen]

fine by me, I don't think there's anything else you need from me, at least not till the actual meet.

[WinterRat1]

Go ahead, I'm just waiting on you two

I'm working on the assumption that the three of them feel genuine in what they're saying to every sense Sal has.

Btw -- this wouldn't happen to be the ork from the Paradigm Shift, would it?

[WinterRat1]

Yes they feel very genuine, straight up to Sal. And no, this is not the same ork from the club. But since no one's asked him his name, he hasn't volunteered it, just fyi.

[paul_HArkonen]

I realize I should have done this long ago, but here's an asensing test to study the emotions of the other people in the room.

[Sedna]

For now I'm counting on one of you, Blaze (or Tin Star), for that deposit :) Of course it'll be compensated once the run's complete. Pick this up via her body language or not, as you see fit: if you don't, it's something she'll tell you afterward.

Actually, under the circumstances, it might not be inappropriate for Tin Star to make the offer afterwards ...

Gah, it's hard to write a negotiation from a purely Leadership approach! :D

[WinterRat1]

Indeed. Well it's time to roll that Negotiation (or related default) please. :)

[Sedna]

Partial default, since further upping of Leadership awaits assigning of karma :)

" 'base", short for "database". Decker slang.

[Digital Heroin]

I just couldn't stay away... think I'm caught up on my reading...

[Sedna]

:)

Don't know, maybe this will help, for quick searches at least.

[WinterRat1]

I have nothing to add in this particular aspect, assume you make it to the new location and meet up as you all see fit. Whoever wants to post as arriving first to the location and begin from there may do so, assuming that none of you takes any detours or does anything else in the meantime.

[paul_HArkonen]

second to last post editted to help with continuity and keep the time flow and info in Sedna's correct. (in case for some reason it winds up mattering)

[WinterRat1]

Is anyone waiting on me for anything? I didn't think so, since you're just planning and conversing, but I just wanted to check.

[Sedna]

Just fyi: the direction I'm heading with this, in case anyone else follows it, is that one of the most common ways of smuggling illegal immigrants (for whatever purpose) into a country is by boat. If we happen to run across word of such a boat, we could "kill two birds with one stone" -- free them and acquire water transport. But that's just a heads-up: I recognise that this might go nowhere.

[Sedna]

Just fyi -- we've already got everyone's number, this time ;) Remember, Alleycat had been trying to call up help last night?

[paul_HArkonen]

Ok I've finally gotten a chance to write up a decent post. I'm sorry if it's causeing a lag in the story. I likely won't have anything substantial until late next week but I'll try to get at least something in before then.

[WinterRat1]

No worries, I'll get to you and Digital later today. As an aside, I'm assuming we're all ok with the pace of Salvation since from my POV you're all still planning and setting your plans in motion, correct? I'm not going to toss something in just to mess with you all and have something happen for the sake of something happening, so otherwise I'm just managing your plans (where my involvement is needed) and letting you all work on getting all your stuff in order.
