Leonardo Rehcsif known as Leo to everyone except maybe his mother. Ex CAS special forces "retired" after his team all perished except for himself and one other. They fell to a group of toxic blood mages who were powering their magic with human sacrifice which summoned up a particularly nasty spirit. After recovering from his injuries under the care of a suprisingly nice shaman he returned home to find everything topsy turvy as the second crash had happened. This brought him to the decision it was time to go freelance.

Okay, now I can put the first post in. Some of you may know my style, I like to put a 'cut scene' post in as it sets the stage/mood/ambiance/tone that I'd like to get across.

Just be glad we didnt start off seeing a priest walk down a long flight of stairs (As in the Exorcist)

have any of you ever actually been to Pike's Place Market? I live in Washington State and have in-laws in Bellevue so I've been there several times. Honestly, the setting for this type of start couldn't be any better.

When i was younger we lived at Ft. Lewis and went to Seattle alot. My step dad was from Idaho so we moved there and went every once in awhile. I loved Seattle as a kid...the curio shoppe is more akin to the one on the pier (I'm taking some artistic liscence here)

Mekalus

I like it. Nice setting very nice in fact. I am really looking forward to this.

quick update: my gf is visiting this weekend. might not have much time to post until monday night.

ARKARY

Sep 10 2006, 07:59 PM

Crap! I just realized I forgot to get a gas mask. That'll make it a bit difficult to use my gas grenades.

Since we havne't really started doing stuff yet, is it ok if I add one to my sheet? If not, no problem, I'll just pick one up somewhere after the meet.

JackRipper

Sep 11 2006, 03:35 PM

Duh!! sure, that isnt a major upsetting piece of gear so go ahead.

JackRipper

Sep 12 2006, 02:07 PM

I'm having a problem logging in at home, so for the mean time i'll be posting between classes in the library.

Cedric Rolfsson

Sep 12 2006, 03:03 PM

Can we look at adding TimeStamps to our posts, i'm having issues working our arrival times in together. Obviously I found a way to post my arrival time in the IC but I think it would work better to have some kind of time stamp.

JackRipper

Sep 12 2006, 08:11 PM

yes, we should start that. I was looking at after this meeting though.

ARKARY

Sep 13 2006, 02:38 AM

Yeah, we can wait until after the meeting. After all, it's kind of neat and magic-y to have people seemingly arriving at the same time, yet somehow not seeing each other until the meet starts.

G.NOME

Sep 13 2006, 04:15 AM

Are we planning on posting our "arrival" in order, then?

Mekalus

Sep 13 2006, 10:55 AM

Well for my in character refference to Arkary(?)'s beat up van already being there I will wait until after his in character post to do mine.

Cedric Rolfsson

Sep 13 2006, 02:59 PM

Just FYI I reviewed my character sheet last night and realized I'd shorted myself one point of Atts, I added it to Intuition.

DireRadiant

Sep 14 2006, 03:18 PM

I think we are just waiting on Switchs entrance to the back room.

JackRipper

Sep 14 2006, 06:44 PM

Still have computer problems so, I'm throwing a post in while I can. It can be tought of as happening after everyone is there.

G.NOME

Sep 15 2006, 11:21 PM

Sorry for missing a day. I'm out of town at a conference and the battery on my laptop is kaput.

DireRadiant

Sep 17 2006, 03:06 AM

What does Switch look like at the meeting?

ARKARY

Sep 17 2006, 03:21 AM

I'm guessing clown pants, a pirate hat, and a tutu.

G.NOME

Sep 17 2006, 03:56 AM

Thanks.

I put a detailed description in my first IC post. He's a average-sized, young-looking elf with silverish-white hair. He's wearing a old-looking leather jacket, jeans, moccasins... it's all there.

edit: He also looks very uncomfortable, standing there in a roomful of strangers.

Its official my home connection is fried, so its all posts at school for me. Expect a major bump tommorrow as i'm going write it up and post here. By the way, i'm not a fan of Embarq.

Mekalus

Sep 21 2006, 05:38 AM

Bummer. I know if my home connection went down I would be going bonkers. Hope your connection gets fixed soon.

DireRadiant

Sep 21 2006, 12:50 PM

What is in the ezine article? I can guess, but it might be nice to know for certain.

Cedric Rolfsson

Sep 21 2006, 04:18 PM

Taking what is in the articles, looking for dates and times particularly, and if any specific locations are given I'll begin a running log, creating a file on my commlink to store this information.

If that is enough information to get an idea of the type of ritual that could be preformed fine, if not once I have more data then use this roll.

Logic + Blood Magic Rituals

JackRipper

Sep 21 2006, 10:18 PM

There are a myriad of rituals that come to mind, but the numbers are insufficent at the moment for any real powerful ritual. (and that point sticks out to you)

There seems to be no set location for the abductions. Most likely due to the randomness of the nature of being awakened.

The ezine's (legitamate) tell of the parents or parents seeing a shulking figure earlier in the area, then the child is found missing. Ages of children are 10, 12, 13, and 14.

The tabloid tells of a fantastic tale of the children being abducted by a vicious ghoul or sadistic vampire.

DireRadiant

Sep 25 2006, 03:24 PM

Well, what do we know about the 162's?

[ Spoiler ]

Probably not much, sounds cabbalistic almost. Or some highway in the metroplex.

JackRipper

Sep 25 2006, 03:27 PM

They lie outside those particular circles. (little more low rent than you're used to)

A little short notice I know but, due to coller weather and no homework or tests looming on monday I've decided to take my daughter camping. So, see you all monday.

Welcome back

JackRipper

Oct 4 2006, 03:33 PM

Thanks.

You all get the sence from your verbal 'tit for tat' that Nigel doesnt know anymore about 162's.

DireRadiant

Oct 6 2006, 08:22 PM

So we can plan ahead. Sweetness will be catching the Bishop after morning Mass and dropping the whole legwork task on to him. Someone in the Diocese must know about the 162's. Also ask about the Church taking an interest in the victims, perhaps starting reward and support funds. This will also give us a cover story when we go asking questions. Sweetness will be happy to go talk to people the Bishop points him at to get more info, but need some names and introductions to get started. Of course I'll owe the Bishop a couple favors in return...

ARKARY

Oct 6 2006, 08:45 PM

Similarly, in the mroning I'll go to visit Buzzsaw, my arms-dealing fixer contact. Although less likely to have a whole lot of info, if the 162's are doing anything major, there's bound to be large enough trasnfers of equipment/weapons that he'd be able to locate.

Mekalus

Oct 8 2006, 04:45 AM

Pretty much the same as above Leo will make contact with his fixer(2/2) Slider after catching a few hours rest. (Slider wouldn't be up anyway) Other than that he will simply await the next meet.

JackRipper

Oct 9 2006, 02:45 PM

I'm giving you all a free pass this first time. Your contacts are available to talk, their knowledge on the subject may not be.(that part we'll roll)

G.NOME

Oct 11 2006, 06:08 AM

Switch is new to Seattle, and plans on checking out the lay of the land. He's planning on checking out Route 162 and seeing what he can find.

Cedric Rolfsson

Oct 11 2006, 04:14 PM

Jack, I'll be contacting my only contact person and asking about hiring a hacker to look into the victim's test scores. I've got my starting cash to work with. Then Zu will hit the virtual libraries himself to research the various and sundry rituals that might apply here and which tradition is most likely to make use of such ritual materials.

In my research I'll check the approximate times/dates of the deaths to see if there could be any kind of connection there too.

DireRadiant

Oct 12 2006, 07:10 PM

Bah, now I'm going to have to drag it out of the Bishop!

Mekalus

Oct 13 2006, 04:37 AM

Making an assumption that my contact will not be all that helpful Leo is going to join Switch on route 162.

ARKARY

Oct 13 2006, 04:47 PM

As indicated in my post, I'll be talking with Buzzsaw to see what he knows while I myself am on my way to Switch's location.

DireRadiant
