IC


Before we get started I would like to take a "roll-call" to make certain who is still in the game. Sound off!

[nick012000]

Still here.

How will we be rolling dice here? An online die roller?

[Frater Inominatu...]

No, unless it becomes necessary to do otherwise, we'll use the honor system. You roll them, in your preferred manner, and post them in spoiler tags.

[Foxx]

Ready to go, have the fixer info by the morning

[Tziluthi]

Yeah, I'm still doing contacts. Be with you soon.

[Foxx]

Here's Dawns fixxer info

[ Spoiler ]

Shirely "Trix" McLand, Fixer(Level 2)
*Apperance: A pretty older woman in her later thirties with dark blonde hair, she dresses in whatever street clothes that pleases too and still posesse some of her athletic build from her times running in the streets and the shadows.
*How you met: Trix was a fellow street walker like Dawn that took the woman under her wings after she was 'recruited'. Like Dawn she was free from the biz after their pimp got taken out of the business permanently. Though she took on and learn the trade of setting up jobs for shadowrunners and Johnsons in the seattle underground.
*The basis for your continued relationship: Trix considers Dawn a friend and helps the growing Face with jobs to build her reputation and experince.
*Sphere of Influence: Seattle shadowrunners underground and criminal spheres.
*Area of Operation: A small two story building where just outside the Barrans thats well secure and keeps the gear she orders for runners and meets with those that she trusts. Which are far and few.
*Pesronality: Trix is street tough and takes no bullshit from anybody, rather shadowrunners, gangers, or organized crime. She works hard to get good talent togther and expect that talent to owe up to the standard she sets for them. She's still connected with the sex trade, but mostly to protect the girls from predaters and rivalry criminal organizations moving in on each others turf.

O.K. I know you guys have been waiting an eternity for this and I thank you for your patience. Having said that let’s get started…

What I would like to see next is a “first impressions” post in the IC. Below you will find contact material I would like to see incorporated, as you see fit, into the post. It is not necessary to copy verbatim what I have written. Feel free to change semantics but not information given. Give us a glimpse into your character’s life, a description of what we will see when we see your character, and of course, tie in your contact material.
To keep things orderly, at least until I get my dumpshock legs, I will handle actions in order of post (exceptions excluded). Remember your guidelines, post regularly, and have fun.



Bob Cavalier

[ Spoiler ]

You are contacted by John around 1830

“Hey, Bobby boy! Listen, I got a job, last minute kinda deal. Nothing fancy. A little bodyguard work. More like babysittin actually, safe house is set up and, to sweeten the pot, the Johnson will throw in real, Arco-grown, food for the duration. He’s payin’ at the high end of scale too. Whadda ya say? His name is Tamburo, Ambrosi Tamburo and he’ll be at DeClerry’s on 15th Avenue and 38th Street NE at 10pm. Listen, the guy‘s connected so show some respect, you hear? Let me know when you‘re back, later chummer.”

Razz

[ Spoiler ]

Fat Charlie contacts you around 1900.

In sloppy Sperethiel “Ah tanna U laestho fuatha … Oh, sorry old boy I forgot to whom I was speaking. An acquaintance of mine, solid fellow, contacted me about a job. Naturally, I thought of you. Do be a chap and be on time, he’s a rather sensitive fellow. DeClerry’s, 15th Ave. and 38th St. Seems he’s looking for some bodyguards for a couple of days. The compensation is rather generous as well. Ask for Tamburo at the bar. Take care of yourself, I have need of you when you are done.”

Stein

[ Spoiler ]

Shirley contacts you at 1900.

“Hey doll, how’s things? I’m good, Tony and I split up, the cheat’ in bastid! I shoulda listened. Anyway, I got a job if your interested. This guys connected so stay on your toes. It’s a small job for a big fish; bodyguard work for three days; escort the mark to a meet and return him to the safe house and your done. Johnson is paying very well, he’s already got a safe house set up and, to sweeten the pot stocked it with real food. Yeah, you heard me. I almost took the job myself girl! You have to at least go and listen. It’s good to know “people” who know other “people.” You get a good rep in those circles and you could be set. But, like I said, watch yourself and keep the contract clear. Oh, I got another call, gotta go. Shi… “ click. Five minutes later you get a text message Names Tamburo

Os

[ Spoiler ]

A call comes in around 1800. The screen shows a beach at sundown.

“Prive't, Kak de'la comrade ? How have you been? Are you thirsty? Matchstick has two for one shots”
Matchsticks is where the “cool” go to hang out. A smoky place with some light jazz playing in the background. The bar is mostly empty, a few early birds at the bar, some roadies sitting at a table near the double doors to the back room, and Rook sitting in a corner booth reading, of all things, a newspaper. He sees you across the room and waves you over.

“Os, I have some work for you. The job isn’t the important thing. It is who the job is for that is important. Do you know who Ambrosi Tambor is? Let us say that he is “connected” to power and privilege. He needs some reliable help to sit on a mark and some merchandise. He called me and I called you. Three days in a safe house, escort the mark to a meet and back and get paid; well paid. No problems right?” he smiles like the shark that he is. “Declerry’s on 38th street. Do this an we may go far in this biz. Oh, do you like your steak rare?

I have posted for everyone I have a fleshed contact list for. If I do not receive lists from the rest of the group by 0000 on the 28th, I will flesh them out myself and post contact material for you here.

8) Let's play...

[Frater Inominatu...]

Stravogin

[ Spoiler ]

1830/ “Wherever you are”

You receive a text message:
INFERNO, 30 MINUTES

Sergei
“Hoi chummer! This place is da bomb no? Ha! I heard someone say that earlier, is cool no? Let’s get a drink.” He takes you to a table lined with young women. “I have job for you. A comrade of mine needs favor. Body guard work three maybe four days. Deliver the mark where he says and done. Everything is set up so you just need to show up. His name is Tamburo. He will be at some hole in Tacoma at 10 tonight. Place called DeClurry’s or something. Do a good job and I might have more work for you. Das vidania comrade.

[nick012000]

Just for future reference, Bob is a Totem's Way adept, following the Gargoyle totem (which is in MitS).

The main difference between him and a normal shaman is that he follows Gargoyles' ideals in the same fasion as a Gargoyle shaman, and he can go on astral quest initiation ordeals.

[Frater Inominatu...]

O.K. I've not heard from Mushashi Forever or Sicarius yet. HobbeGoblin and Flipshow are working hard to catch up and will post soon.

I do not know if you (Mushashi and Sicarius) have been following the thread but, in an effort to give you time to post, I will wait until 0000 on the 29th to post before we move on.

Foxx - I am going to guess that this "Tamburo. Dawn let the name bounce around in her head for a moment to see if anything registered about it." part of your is a search for information, perhaps using a background skill? From now on post any skill use you want to use in the OOC thread. If it was just part of the storythen there isn't a need.

Tzilutui - The lack of a time was an oversight. I edited the post for you.

Nick012000 - Same comment as for Foxx. Any skill use you want to perform post here, otherwise I will assume it was story fluff.

[nick012000]

[Frater Inominatu...]

Foxx, Nick, I need Etiquette(4) tests from both of you...

[Foxx]

Here's Dawns ettiquette test results

[ Spoiler ]

Sorry if my absence has fouled things up. I got out of touch last week when I was away on bsuiness.

I will do my best to stay on top of things from now on.


And I know that this sonds stupid, but how exactly do you do the spoiler links?

[Frater Inominatu...]

Just type [ s p o i l e r ] (without the spaces) in front of and [ / s p o i l e r ] behind your post.

[Frater Inominatu...]

Have I been excluded because of my late start? I apologize for it, it was really unavoidabled. If there is anyway you can work me in Frater I would appreciate it.

[Frater Inominatu...]

I need your contact info Sicarius. Either I haven't recieved it or I have misplaced it. EIther way I need it again. PM it to me and I will post your info in the same place I put everyone else's.

Check that, I found it. Your info is up.
