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

[Sedna]

[ Spoiler ]

Per "The restaurant itself i[s] open concept, seating being in a semi-indoors area on a porch, with the kitchen being further inside, as well as the facilities ..."

Does this bring any part of the place under city spirit domain? Specifically, the table where the meet's going to take place?

In this context, Kai just summoned a city spirit (Force 3), which in-thread is going to come across as him spotting another streeter he knows. The player's intent is for backup support and a way of carrying messages. Kai's perspective is going to be "Hey, Liddy can take in a message to you guys!"

Roll: 4, 3, 1 (2 services)
Drain: 8, 7, 3, 3

Sorry, did I screw everyone up? Hadn't meant to. Was trying to cut to the chase, since DH mentioned he doesn't usually spend much time on meet issues.

The discussion seemed to be that at least Viper and Johnson would go into the meet. Steve was okay with everyone going in, so long as at least one person stayed outside. Kai volunteered to stay outside, thinking that would make things easy. When communications questions were raised, Kai immediately thought he could ask one of his reliable "friends" to deliver messages. Glyph, if you haven't read the spoiler yet, if Viper assenses Liddy she'll get a surprise.

[Glyph]

Yeah, I clicked on the spoiler, read enough to realize it was information for the GM, then decided it would be using OOC knowledge to have Viper suddenly decide to use astral perception. I'll go ahead and do that now, though, since we need to move the IC thread along, and it would be the logical thing for her to do if Kai pointed out someone like that.

Assensing test: 11 05 05 04 04 03 (5 Successes).

Steve's one of those mundanes who knows drek about magic - except for what he's seen on the trid. ;)

[Sedna]

Slipshade, DH, hope it's okay I wrote Glide (lightly) out, but in such a way that she can readily be slipped in again if RL decides to cooperate ...?

[Thomas]

Umm...
I guess that we are all going to the meet with Kai doing watch and Liddy running messages.
Should we skip ahead?
I'd go for it.

[Sedna]

Does silence indicate consent? I'll write a skip-ahead in for Kai, anyway.

[Digital Heroin]

Silence was due to a few factors (Cher, the Village People, hangovers)... but it works. To the meet we go, and get things rolling...

Assensing tests:

Mr. Johnson: 04 04 04 03 03 02 (3 successes)
Bodyguard #1: 09 04 02 02 01 01 (2 successes)
Bodyguard #2: 04 04 03 02 02 02 (2 successes)

[Digital Heroin]

Johnson: There doesn't seem to be anything amiss with the room, though in a place where you find all sorts, from all around the city, it's hard to tell for sure. There aren't any more overt bodyguards, though, at the guy looks like someone who would keep them close to him.

Glyph: Neither of the bodyguards are packing heavy cyberware, smartlinks at best, no full body mods. They're both a bit frustrated at the moment.

The Suit is releived that the meet is getting underway; he's in good health, and aside from a datajack and headware memory is cyber clean.


Alright everyone... good news first. I am no longer a shiftworker. Bad news is there's a chunk of May where I'm going to be outright gone (though I may be able to snake late night access). I'll be sailing for the better part of two weeks, but there is net access on ship, it just depends how freely my bosses let me use it.

And an administrative request. Could everyone toss me a copy of their character sheet, with any Karma you were awarded for character creation noted on it. My filing system until this point has been woeful, and to facilitate gaming, I've created a new addy: dhshadowrun(at)hotmail.com

Also, for those of you who wish it, my AIM is: Enigmatic Chicken

[Sedna]

At least it's a better time of year for that sail, this time ;)

You know where to find my character sheet, DH. I'm seriously overhauling things, but that address won't change. Hadn't assigned karma yet, pending your answer to that earlier PM.

Basically, Kai's just keeping the lookout, along with Liddy; and they're catching up on the city gossip while they're at it. In case you need it and I get hung up on something again

All hail the 14 hour workday! :grinbig:

The Suit is human, and doesn't bear a discernable accent, nor any real distinguishing characteristics. He's the type who serves well as a grey man, going unnoticed unless he wishes to.

[Bastard]

sounds like me...and my character

14 hours for a job that at the most should have taken 3... much annoyance... especially since I was on ship at 0500, after dropping my roommate off early on his ship (so he didn't have to leave his car in general parking while sailing). On the plus side, my bunk on ship is hella comfortable, and I got to exercise it for a few hours...

Ok, I new this would be coming, but I didn't expect the scope of length of time of it. I'll be heading to sea Monday, and apparently I'll be out all but a few weekends for about a month... this won't mean I'm completely gone, but my access may be spotty as all hell (not that I'm on so often anyway, eh)... I don't know that I'll be so active I'll be...

[Thomas]

@DH
RL comes first, and I'm cool with that. I'll play when you can, and not bitch the rest of the time.

[Digital Heroin]

The good news out of it is I know for sure I'm not sailing for two months after that... plus I'll have net access at sea... I'm just not sure how cool with me bringing books into the CCR my bosses'll be...

[Bastard]

we got books :)

[Sedna]

Okay, this was just too tempting: anything small and irritating Kai can "lift" from Steve, maybe a credstick or wristphone? :D (I'll make the roll after you decide on the object.)

[Thomas]

Humm... Well, the pocket sec is in the left shirt pocket, the encrypted memory is in the left front pants pocket, along with a passcase containing 2 swipe cards, 30-80 nuyen in scrip and a Trauma slap patch. Right front pants pocket has some keys on a ring with the car remote and two credsticks, one certified and one gold. On his belt is a pouch with a pocket flashlight, pager, and cellphone. If you went low there's the hold-out pistol in an ankle holster above the left shoe, inner side.
Let me know what, if anything, Kai grabs - so Steve can react at the proper time.
(Not that he notices the theft, just for example Kai grabs keys - Steve notices when he approaches the car - no keys.)
GM call on success.
