OOC : STARDUST, Out-of-Character discussion for Stardust Options

[Shadow]

Yeah, Gun isnt the kind of man who is used to having to wait in lines, or bother with doorman. He is a made man after all.

[Slacker]

Wormwood is going to try to fiugre out the best place to do surveillance from. Whatever he decides he will test it, if possible. If the spot is already occupied he will simply enjoy the music until it becomes free.

If the bartender says they don't have absinthe, which I am pretty sure they don't, he'll just take the house special, whatever it is. He'll nurse a single drink for most of the evening.

After he finishes testing out the best place for him to be during the meeting, he will relax a bit and just enjoy the rest of the evening listening to Celia Starr.

One thing he will make note of is anybody that looks like they are checking the place over like himself

Just tell me if any rolls are needed.

Unless you want to add something odd into the mix, I think that is all Wormwood will be doing this evening.

[FrostyNSO]

What equipment/methods is he going to be using for the surveillance? That will prolly determine the best spot.

[Slacker]

Well for photos and such he has his cybereyes w/camera. To record audio he'll have to buy a micro-recorder or something, should have plenty of time for that.

Actually, since he was originally built using the priority system and not the point system, would you be opposed to me trying to fit in a bit extra surveillance equip in his character?

[FrostyNSO]

Eh...Something inside just says no, but I'll think on it. For now, I'll just run with the camera and recorder for now.

Shit* Emergency at work, gotta go!

[Slacker]

Eh...its no big deal, I was just curious, i've got enough money for the micro-recorder and there is enough time to buy one so it's cool if you don't want me redoing him.

[Slacker]

Oops...I just realized that I never bothered sending you the complete info on Wormwood's contacts. I just sent you a pm with a link to his character sheet that has their complete info on it. It's the exact same character sheet, I just added a link to a page with complete contact info.

[FrostyNSO]

Gun and Worm, I was going to ask for some perception rolls, but I kindof let you both "take 20" since you were in no rush, and could pretty much take all the time in the world that you needed.

Hope that's alright. If not, we'll do it different next time.

edit:

Gun, my writing took a dump in there. The door to the right of the stage in the back of the club leads to a short hall with an exit door at the back, restrooms on the right, and private rooms on the left. Really sorry about that.

[Shadow]

Don't sweat it. I am suprised when players know what the hell I am talking about after reading my descriptions.

[Qillin]

Jack brings out

AZ-150 Stun Baton(CLB) TrMod

and a bit of ammo

Ludmila will bring Jacky (and Hank?) to a small abandonned storage depot, out on the docks (her "squatter" lifestyle). From there, they'll start cooking up a plan while laying low.

[Slacker]

The next night I'll go back to Matchsticks, but this time I'll be wearing my Armante suit and have my pistol in its concealable holster to see if they give me any problems about entering.

During the day, I'll also do a cursory search on the Matrix about the Johnson (can't remember if his name was ever actually given to Wormwood, but Wormwood was given his address, so his name should be easy enough to find out).

Computer/Search Operations Roll:

[ Spoiler ]

11 10 02 02

Based on what, if anything I learn from that, I may use a contact to try and find out more. This really isn't anything important, just SOP for Wormwood when he takes a job.

[FrostyNSO]

Ok, I'm assuming Ludi, Jacky, and Hank are going to take Hank's van? Someone other than Hank will have to drive. Also, he will need a chiropractor to be of any use in less than a week or two.

Worm, do you want to RP out that second visit, or want me to give you the rundown OOC?

Gun, do you have any business you need me to address?

[Mister Juan]

Well, Ludi also has her pickup near by... but Jacky might be to big to fit in it. Guess she'll be driving then, and off to drop Hank over at Roland's. He can probably take care of him. Then, its off to the safehouse to sit, eat, think and wait.

[Slacker]

An OOC rundown is just fine for the second visit. I am just testting to see if I could get a weapon inside without a problem as it appears is the case.

[FrostyNSO]

You get it in no problem. In fact, the bouncer doesn't even know you're carrying it.

[ Spoiler ]

03 03 01

You see some corporate gentlemen in line ahead of you with their bodyguards, who are obviously packing. The bouncer pays them a little more attention, but doesn't stop or hassel them in any way.

[FrostyNSO]

Any pressing business for Ludi or Jacky in the time before Varya and possibly Ludi's Lonestar contact (forgot his name) gets in touch? Or is it pretty much lay low for a few days time?

[Mister Juan]

Lonestar contact = Alec

Well, they're laying low and trying to figure out how they'll "borrow" Stone.
Also, Jacky's decker friend was going to look for more info on Stone, as well as maybe get us a detailed floor plan of Matchsticks... and do a search on that guy who apparently was a Kote's house.

Ludi will get in touch with Miki to see if his driver, Esquire, is still availible (in case they need a getaway driver)

[FrostyNSO]

Ok, I'll try to get all that. I have to do actual work in about 10 minutes, so I'll do it after that hopefully.

[FrostyNSO]

Nobody ever contacted Jacky's friend's decker friend. He hangs out at a netbar called the "Blitzkrieg"

[Mister Juan]

Shit... I forgot that.... Guess Ludi will have to strap in some matrix café later during the day.

[Shadow]

Sorry for my absence, I was abruptly tasked out to do a Win2k to Win Xp migration. Professionally it is a lot of fun :) but I have little to no access to my games. I will try to catch up and post today. But I suspect this will go on through Friday. Sorry :(

[Mister Juan]

Concerning the meet with Alec, Ludmila will go armed and ready to roll, with Hank in the getaway van, and Jacky somewhere in the rush hour crowd. She'll try to diguise herself a little. Once she spots Alec, if everything seems clear, she'll wait for a train to arrive at the station, and she'll walk up to him, grabbing him by the arm and push him into the train at the last minute. Jacky (if he likes to cooperate) will follow them, in the next car.

If something goes wrong at the station, its off to the getaway van. If everything is fine, Ludi and Jacky will drop Alec at a random crowded station and make there exit.

[FrostyNSO]

I need to know if you guys are going to that meet early, late? What Jacky D is carrying since he will be in the crowd? I need a perception roll from everyone who is checking to make sure everything looks clear.
