Understood, I was simply filling in events from Dragon's POV since he probably was responding to Tiffany in some way, shape, or form, before the events of your post. Yours is the correct one, mine is just Dragon's perception. Understood.

Sedna- Is it reasonable to assume that the clinicians have detoxed our car yet as per Virgil's instructions/request?

Yes.

I'll also (quietly) point out that IC you haven't yet asked a question you've been wanting to ask in this clinic. Don't know whether that means it's just been overlooked, or whether priorities have changed.

Oh, I didn't explicitly mention it, but the means of communication between the various areas of the clinic are in-house extension comms. There's one per floor area (figure maybe 8-10 or so in total), so you know there's one in the reception area, you passed one coming into this area, and so on. There isn't one per room. Quite apart from the hardwiring questions, it's already so tight in this (typical) room, there almost wouldn't be "person" space to use it. (Which indirectly tells you that Galina mostly deals with trauma and triage rather than longer term care, although Virgil would know she also acts as the local counsellor/psychologist.) In SR Seattle as now, although more sophisticated systems are designed with other "break-in" codes, the most common default to reach a (meta)human being in basic in-house telecom systems is "dialing" 0.

fyi: At this point, Virgil has what Cindy has. Powerpoint summary :

* The former gaming place was controlled by the yakuza, but not directly run by them
* What Jonah looks like, where his home is, likely haunts, but nothing really personal about him
* If he did go to ground, you've got no more idea than Cindy how to flush him out
* That he's been talking with a cop (ex-cop!), but Cindy's never met him, doesn't know what he looks like or even his name
* More about the oyabun of this branch of the yakuza than you really wanted to know. On the plus side, it's not the same person to whom Virgil gave the katana, before.

Oh, and some parts of her personality probably still are going to surface almost as Virgil's own at odd moments, but not to the same extent: he has that mostly under control now. Let's just say this was very different than the much more usual use of a mind probe to seek for a specific piece of information which the person does know, but doesn't want to tell you.

Cedric Rolfsson:

bandit, if you and WinterRat agree to postpone the Inleat meet and you choose to write the call, just don't sign off on it, okay?

Or course not Sedna. Virgil was going to call him to explain the situation and give Inleat and update of what he'd learned so far. I will leave that conversation open for you to write some return conversation.

Bandit;

This is something of a test so work with me.

A couple of questions about the search results:

1) Is this Nora's handwriting?

2) What was the magazine that contained the note, and was there anything significant about where the note was inserted? (ie-did it mark the place for a specific article or picture).

3) Have I heard of The Underworld? (Shadowrunner Haunts 3 = 13, 4, 2)
(I also have AK: Redmond and Local Neighborhood if needed)

4) Have I heard of Twiggy? Seen him?

Scrapheap:

1. Yes, it's Nora's handwriting

2. Random trashy magazine, inserted right in the front cover to look like an advertisement postcard or something.

3. Roll AK: Redmond and Local Neighborhood as well please

4. No and no.

There. As close to caught up for now as it gets, these days. Will be off-line through the rest of this week, return somewhere between late Thursday and Sunday (sorry, paul). No one get themselves killed while I'm gone!

AK: Redmond 3 = 5, 2, 1

Local Neighborhood 3 = 7, 5, 4

I'm going to be out of my area for a while, I have a laptop, but I can make no garuntee of having internet access while I'm away, so I may or may not be here for about the same time span as Sedna (wednesday - late saturday) kinda odd how those things work out actually.

Seems the time of year for absences.

For the record I`ll be away from the 15th March untill the 23rd March as I`ll be in NewYork for Luna Con (plus travelling times included in dates given)

Paul and Sedna- Well how about this then. Since you'll both be gone and God knows I have tons of Dumpshock related projects to catch up on anyway, we can just pause until you return. I'll respond to Sedna's latest post and then wait for one of you to come back and post a response to that, at which point we'll resume. How does that sound, it seems reasonable to me since you'll both be gone anyway, so no point trying to move forward without my players.

Scrapheap- You've heard of a club that sounds like or has the word or involves 'Underworld' (or something like that) but you can't nail it down exactly. Sounds familiar though, definitely a Seattle locale though, nowhere out of the Sprawl.

makes sense to me.

It is the time of the year for spring traveling . . .

From March 12th - March 19th I will be doing a bit of traveling to visit my family, my girlfriend's family, and an old friend (you know who you are ). During that timespan my internet access may be a little spotty so posts might be slow in coming, but I should be able to respond to most important stuff.

Enjoy your trips everyone!!

Edited - Doh sorry old house rule from an old game! Re-rolled drain

Erm, you can't use spell pool for conjuring. All you get are Conjuring dice and Charisma dice for conjuring tests, plus totem mods and such of course. Conjuring dice can be shifted over to help deal with drain if you like.

Just thought I'd say hello to all involved in the game, I'm looking foward to joining your world.

Sorry for my posting delays everyone. I am swamped in lab today trying to finish some experiments before I leave for vacation.

Glad you could join us Ecclesiastes.

Welcome, Ecclesiastes.

WinterRat1-
Yet more questions:
1) Do I know if there is a pay-terminal inside the Shak? Nothing fancy, just enough to do a search.

2) If not, do I know where the nearest library would be? Other likely location of such a device?

Thanks, and just let me know if you need any rolls.

Welcome to the shadows chummer!!

Scrapheap- No pay terminals, and library? In the Barrens? Are you serious? Likely locations would be a nicer area of Seattle, pretty much anywhere NOT the barrens

Well, Touristville isn't as bad as the rest of the Barrens. Thought I'd see.

BTW, in case it wasn't clear, I was joking around with you, no offense taken I hope?

Of course not! I saw the smiley.

I swear I saw a seperate page somewhere with supplemental info for LitS, other than board threads. Where might I find it?

Blonde, I think if you go to the first page of the IC thread there are links.

Just finished updating that (the url's also in my profile ); and fixed all the prelude links at least. (The inter-story links are still being worked at ... at the moment, about the only page that works almost absolutely perfectly is Avalanche's, which might give the sense of what I'm working toward, slowly.) I'm about a page behind, a bit more with Shadowland; and the guidelines are missing one amendment and aren't up yet in Word format.

Anyone I missed? Anyone got any (non bitmap!) pictures they want to share? Anyone know how to create small temporary mouse-over pop-up windows with pictures (à la ALT)? That's what I'm working toward, where you see a linked-in picture. A bonus karma point if you get me the exact code!

I cannae help but notice but while reading through the idividual stories of the chars on the LiTS supporting site my own (Knight) seems absent (well the link doesnt lead to anything).

um... I have one that I would like to send, however, due to my personal computer illiteracy I will have to send it by email, or something like that to you. Would that be acceptable?

Moirdryd: fixed, and thanks! that's exactly the kind of check I'm looking for. Originally those links led directly to the stories. Now, for active PCs, they lead to individual index pages, and I'd forgotten to set up one for you.

Anything anyone wants to send to me via e-mail: talia_invierno@yahoo.com . Bear in mind that there might be delay in my being able to open it: not all the on-line computers I touch have linked and terminal-accessible Office, or even floppy drives.

In general I'm limiting backstories though -- trying to draw a compromise between PC confidentiality and the just sheer good reads. Within that proviso, anything PC-related you guys want to send, I'll be happy to add. I'm currently working on adding in floorplans! You'll also notice some very light edits I've made, things like fixing typos, a bit of grammar, and in one case conflicting timestamps: another reason why the original posts are always linked in. Shadowrunner: I gave acknowledgement under the name you gave on that fanfic ... if that's not okay or you didn't want it copied here, let me know?

Sedna,

The January 8-14, 2063 link for Max is broken. Just thought you should know.

Slip

Only one PC's current time is ahead of Jan 7, so in general Jan8-14 files don't really exist yet. I just blocked in the link so I wouldn't forget later.

Okay, I'm an idiot, and I didn't realise until just now that two PCs were posting post Jan 8 -- and you were one of them.

I've fixed it now

No problem Sedna,

I wasn't expecting a quick fix.

My existence does not depend on having a link to my posts.

Slip

A general note to my players (notably Scrapheap, Slipshade, and Digital, who's been out of the loop for a while; Paul and Sedna have things figured out I believe)

Given the workload I've got going for tax season, I generally post only in direct response to when it's needed, or more if I have time.

translation- if it's not clear that you need me to reply and you seem to be reasonably self-directed, I will probably let you continue on your course until I see fit to intervene. If you want to be sure I get the message that you're waiting on me, just send me a pm or post in the OOC thread and I'll be sure to get to you as soon as I can. Thanks for helping me out, after april 15 I promise things will return to a slightly more normal state of affairs.

The thread for LITS:IC Jan 8th-14th is up. At the point your character begins Jan 8th (if they haven't already) please begin posting in that thread. The threads are organized like this to make it easier for everyone to keep track of everything. The OOC thread will remain the same for both threads (this one). Thanks everyone! We're on week 2! Great job!
