I'll be away from later on today through Tuesday or Wednesday. DH and everyone: just NPC me until then, so it doesn't hold up the action. Just assume that if there's trouble to be gotten into, Kai will be flirting with the edges of it.
Oh and DH, sorry about that link: it was a matter of a single capital letter. Fixed, now. |

Mr. DH...Where are you? We are so sad and lonely without out you.
Is anyone in the game interested in a chat based game once or twice a month? |

It looks like something unexpected probably came up for DH. I would post more IC, but at this point we really need Hermes' reaction before going on.
By the way, DH, since everyone else is guessing, I'll take a stab at your favorite book. I guess Target: Matrix, because it's got that sweeeet pic of that hot troll chick dressed up like a Catholic schoolgirl (Yowza!). Right? ... or maybe that's just me. :D |

I'm going to take your word on how sweet that pic is, and not check... 8)
Appologies for the delay, been a bit hectic... plus I just got a car, so I've been driving more... that's wearing off now, so focus I must, like Yoda I talk. If y'all want to skip to the meet, just let me know, and let me know what you're up to in the interum with a brief bit. |

I should end the suspense with the book... and I shall, or I'm afraid someone will drive themselves mad guessing... :D Favorite book is SOTA: 2064, 'cause it's the book where Digital Heroin first makes a Shadowtalk appearance...

HE IS BACK!!! OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! WE ARE TRUELY BLESSED, FOR TODAY, WE RUN. SHADOWRUN THAT IS.
I personally want to do the meet, cause thats all my character is good for. Plus I have loved the RP with the other players so far. I think our group is FKA! Team Bike Couriers Rule! EDIT-What time is it in game? |

What does Kai know about Merciless Ming's? Three possibilities I can think of, toss out any you don't think apply.
City Knowledge: 4 Odds and Ends of KN: 5, 1 Courier Company Stuff (ever heard of it before around this place? or delivered there?): 3 And yup: it's Johnson that Kai is calling "boss". |

Oops -- DH, when you said "rolls to a spoiler", did you mean you wanted those rolls spoiler'ed in the IC thread?

Not that Steve would know anything about Ming's unless the team has already done some business there - I suppose he might look up the place on the home computer when he goes to get ready. Mostly interested in the strictness of any weapons policy or dress code and where the place is located.

Glyph - Well, it depends on what type of place Ming's is - IMO a goth elf chick wouldn't stand out too much, sure, maybe in a crowd of corp suits - but this is 2064, with surge and all. I don't know, but I just think that with everyone trying to be different it would all look the same. Like Hawaiian shirts - at a black tie function they stand out, but on the beach it's just another shirt.
So, it depends on the type of place Ming's is as to who would be giving whom fashion tips. ;) |

You've hit the nail on the head, Thomas. Mass-marketing individualism! But anyway, Kai's already got his fashion statement, and he's sticking to it. Some places it blends, some places it sticks out. Btw does Kai know where "The Shore" is? (Kind of important, that!) [ Spoiler ]

If it's that same Merciless Ming's from that full-page picture in the main book, no one will stand out. There's a guy with two grenades on his chest, and a troll carrying an axe over his shoulder, and no one's even giving them a second glance.
Viper is definitely not very inconspicuous, though. Distinctive style is one of her flaws. She will generally stand out one way or another. For a date, even a pretend one, she would probably insist on giving Steve some kind of makeover, either to look like a fellow punk or goth, or to look like a slightly tacky slumming suit. She's a bit vain and shallow, so she wouldn't want an "average Joe" on her arm. By the way, if Viper doesn't know where Ming's or The Shore are, she will boot up her telecom at home, just to get the directions. |

Rolling clarification: If you're asking for knowledge, post the rolls here, no spoiler needed, but rolls that are blended with IC action, spoiler at the bottom of the IC post, for ease of sorting things out.
Ming's isn't exactly familiar to any of the runners, aside from them knowing it's a restaurant. No mob ties, only word of mouth to advertise, and it's too low rent for one of Johnson's prior meets. Clarification on The Shore? I don't recall setting that one up, was that a player chosen spot? |

Yeah. Bastard's character, Johnson, wanted the team to meet there after Kai and Glide checked out Ming's.

Ok, would be a case then where I've got no relevant knowledge, unless it's in a sourcebook, eh.

Mmm. Are we to self-rule on anything not directly run-related, then? It's fine by me either way -- just need to know for flow purposes. (And when you are able, I'd still appreciate an answer to that last PM, DH.)

[ Spoiler ] Kai will be able to go to the Sand Bar there :wobble: |

No. Sorry :) I'm also going to assume, for flow purposes, that
still means that we know where it it, just nothing about it. If I'm wrong in this, please correct me and tell me what to change. [ Spoiler ] |

If it is the place on p. 315 of BBB, we’re hosed. How could any meet go down at a street vender’s counter? Maybe they have an indoor facility, or, as I intend to play, the illustration is only one of many Ming’s street-sides, and there is one main indoor restaurant.
