OOC: Emerald City Nights, We're not in Kansas anymore... Options

[Sedna]

Spare me some dignity, at least :P And no, I didn't get into trouble: but this is a no-talk zone; so laughing is sort of implicit. Still grinning though -- and thanks: I seriously needed that!

[Sedna]

Oh, Bastard, I liked the dropped-in Quik-E Mart :) Just hadn't had a chance yet to write it in IC.

[Slipshade]

Sedna - Yah I noticed that too. :)

[Sedna]

Bastard -- we've gotten into positions such that we can get the general external layout and visible security of the building, as well as hopefully in-out patterns (loading docks? shifts? security/warehouse workers/clerical/other?), as much as are visible from outside. If necessary, we'll split up to cover different lines of sight (we've got potentially three "people" to cover), but still staying outside. Kai's looking at this especially from the perspective of how a person could get into the place and out again.

[Bastard]

I assumed so, but figured you would move around more after a bump post from me. Last, of course I could have missed something, you were sitting together on a roof near a vent for heat. Dont worry you have all night. :D I will use my Paint Shop expertise to draw you a sorry ass representation (complete with stick figure squatters) later this week. :)

[Sedna]

We're moving, we're moving! It's Kai, after all! :D

[Slipshade]

I will post something tomorrow about Glide's movements.

[Sedna]

I'll follow your lead here, Slipshade.

[Slipshade]

Sedna,

Go ahead and post, I am a bit busy with LiTS today and that will likely take up my lunch hour. I was just going to suggest that Pike conceal Kai and have him move around with the added stealth to get a better view. Pike may be able to get Kai a lot closer than I would be able to get. Glide is not the most stealthy of people.

Sorry I would update myself but I have a number of things I need to take care of today, though if you want to leave it until tomorrow and then I will definately post.

[Sedna]

I'd best leave it till tomorrow then, since it's Kai's first job of this nature, and we probably don't want him falling through any more roofs.

[Sedna]

Japanese, obviously: "Shit and die, addlepated loafer."

[Sedna]

I don't want to sidetrack, so I'm being guided by you guys: someone asks, I'll answer ... but we're not losing sight of the current task and The Job. So by all means do interrupt as needed! :)

[Slipshade]

Yah, more idle chit chat than anything else, if you think it will affect our ability to watch the location, then Glide will clam up.

[Sedna]

"You" here meaning our intrepid GM :grinbig:

Me, I don't see any issues with idle chit chat -- and know far too much about Kai for such chit chat ever to be exhausted -- but we're a group of players, not one; and I'm automatically leery of anything that could monopolise/sidetrack.

[Slipshade]

Sorry I ment the GM not you Sedna. :)

[Thomas]

The chit chat is interesting and gives me time to think.
Just take Steve’s silence as still trying to adjust to the changes.

[Bastard]

Sorry...didnt get to making a map this weekend...busy putting up drywall and insulation.

So Glide is still on the roof with Liddy, and Kai is sneaking around?

[Slipshade]

Actually Glide is on the roof with Pike, and Kai is sneaking around.

Trust me, you don't want Glide to sneak around. :)

[Sedna]

What Slipshade said :) and there's lots more chitchat to be had, if there's curiosity and time that asks to be filled. (In this particular case, the practical difference is that Liddy was Force 3, and Pike is Force 4.)

[Slipshade]

Posting is going to be slow for me for a bit. Work being busy, but I will chit chat as much as I can. :)

Slip

[Bastard]

Same here Slip, all 12 hour days next few weeks, and my weekends have been filled with home improvement projects and helping my friend build on an extra room. *Joy*

I will try to make quick posts from work if I get the sham job o'mine :D




How close is Kai getting? He is walking around the entire estate correct?

[Bastard]

How do I set up a web page so I can give you the sorry ass map?

Im am computer unsavvy :wobble:

[Sedna]

Do you have a map picture/file? If you have a scanned picture, you can e-mail it to me, and I'll temp-web it (see LitS addresses). If you don't have anything yet, you have three major options:

• Draw something and scan it (I can deal with webbing if necessary)
• Use the [ CODE ] function here to try to get an ACSII-type layout similar to what's midway down this page
• The grendel option: find something that's similar to what you want that's already on-line

If you do go for the scan, try for either a jpg or gif format. Bitmaps are death on space and loading.

[Bastard]

I drew it using my sorry ass art skills on paint shop.

[Sedna]

Toss me the file then :) (litsproject@yahoo.com)
