Just a friendly warning...

Basically I am gonna be out of pocket and mostly away from computers starting possibly as early as Wed. and until Tues. of next week. I have a local con this weekend and I have a show that I'm doing on Monday that is a really big deal for my personal business so.... yeah. GM's feel free to heard my characters along if necessary. I'll try to pop on when I can, but I make no promises, hence me stating I'll be out for a week.

Sorry for those that see this multiple times.

I dont know if I've done this before, but Hikaru is going to try and use her Magical Theory knowledge to determine the general effect the change to the fireworks would cause.

Magical Theory 3 + Logic 3 = 6 dice
1,1,2,5,2,1 - 1 hit + GLITCH

Neko Mahou - Konsaki

Guys... we have 2-3 magicians. Can someone just summon a spirit with the Guard power and have it use it on the people making the dice rolls?

EDIT: Expletives deleted.

I completly forgot about it, but even if I had, it seems like metagaming to me... I dont know. I'll have to think on it...

Game resurrection Force 5!
I hope it's strong enough...

Step one, Roll call! I am going to "write out" some characters... and if you aren't playing, that would be nice to know too, then I can do a more dramatic exit scene for that PC.

Metagaming... it's not necessarily bad. As long as we can make it work IC.

At this stage it's still essentially Legwork,
- How is the "nothing" on the Peninsular group sensor logs done?
- What effect does the previous night's work have? Probably requires more skill/teamwork/knowledge then the group has to figure out. Remember it took a team of Feng Shui experts most of the year to set up the initial ritual, the threshold and interval on figuring this out may be quite large.
- Wang's schedule, Some initial analysis, you've found likely matches for some entries, but haven't pursued it further
- Wang's commcall log, no analysis.... (hey, Mr Wang's Little Black Book!)
- Wang's position and history... obviously some effects of his demise, whether it's permanent or not, has been seen.

Back to metagaming... You've all seen how sending a powerful spirit to find and give a message to someone does seem to get their attention rather well... Not that there seems to be someone out there the team needs to get up and working on some technical stuff for them...

Most of you will notice your contacts with connection 4 or higher have already been alerted to the Mr Wang situation.

For those of you who will talk to your contacts, any with connections 3 or lower won't know what's up, they won't know Wang got hit the previous night, but will try and find out for you if you ask.

If there is other information you want to ask your contact, just post IC or OOC and I'll get to it.

BTW, you've all IC done a good job of laying low, staying in the shadows and not getting attention, so that's why nothing untoward has happened yet. No combats! However, there is the potential for lots of adrenaline pumping action, I certainly have some planned, but there are some triggering events for those.

I'm still here, and I do appologize for lax postings.

Usually I feel like Blaze either doesn't understand the language/situation, and so expects someone else to take the lead, or isn't going to come up with any new ideas, and is waiting for someone else to suggest some action - neither particularly good qualities in a shadowrunner. But I posting as much in OOC would at least let you know I'm still keeping up with the thread.

I am just waiting for the clock to advance to 12 noon.

I am also still here. Wu Xian isn't really the best in regards to legwork so he doesn't have that much to do, but he is waiting to asist in any way possible.

Same for Si Wu, though he dos try to serve in some moderator position, as the nominal head of the team, as well.

I suggest we make a jump to 1200 (unless you have planed for some other time interval, DireRadiant). Everyone can post IC or OOC, what their PC is doing till then and DR can give us the results.
This way, Fooey and the others that are still asleep can get back into the action.

Cloud is still around.

Hikaru is still around, hence the thread resurrect.

DR, my PC's contact is Wei Xiaobao Rating 3/3.

Basically asking both contacts about who could be out for Wang, and what where the repercussions of the hit.
Susannah´s 2/2, the old mystic is 4/2.

Before I go back to the safehouse, I´ll put up the mask again.

Also, a lose tail roll & a roll to put out an ear on last night´s events (not giving away anything myself, except what could be seen in the media or what I heard frompeople before) :

I'll get another IC post and responses from contacts in this week.

There will be a delay in getting Fooey back IC, for which I appreciate everyone's patience.

Feel free to post IC for what you may do during the morning leading up till the noon hour.

If you're creating a ward, let me know. If there are any other actions that any of you want to take care of, please let me know.

Hikaru is creating a R5 Ward for the safehouse. It will be completed around 1430.

Since the Magic + Willpower roll only determines how long it stays up, I'm just going to default to 2 hits on my dicepool. This means it will stay up for 2 weeks unless something breaks it down.

Drain test = 5S
Charisma + Willpower = 8 dice
2,4,5,4,5,6,3,1 - 3 hits

2 Stun left over.

Sorry guys... life's still kicking my ass at the moment. I'll try to get a post up later in the afternoon tomorrow after work.

Basically until Noon, Willow will review various footage of the celebration and try to look at it with new eyes for anything specific. She'll also check in with contacts for any ripples or waves in the underworld society.

DR: I'm assuming they'd know *when* they put the small change into motion in the overall timing of the fireworks display? If so she'd focus her efforts on watching as many versions of the footage from that timeframe.

DR... some jarring things...
11 February 2070 is the 1st day of the new year
nobody but gwailos works on the 1st or 2nd days of chinese/lunar new year, parks are fucking deserted cos everyone is visiting and everyone is playing mahjong at home. if the corps/triads/immortal elves/great dragons forced anyone to work on new year's day, there'd probably be a bloody rebellion or something. and yeah, normally the parks should be full of people, but not on New Years Day, kay? And on New Years Day, old people stay home because the young ones are supposed to go to them to pay their respects.

Thanks for the intell, man! Also edited my post, to ad a small paragraff at the end.

Make the Khan prowd, toturi-sama!

Flat D, 14th floor of Alpha House, 27 Nathan Road

The drone is a crawler emblazoned with the signs from a nearby dim sum restaurant. You've seen these drones acting as waiters in a lot of dim sum restaurants. These drones are outfitted with a small steamer to keep the wares hot amd moist. It's carrying a large stack of bamboo baskets full of wonderful smelling food.

Matrix Perception (2)


Astral Perception (2)

If anyone asks the drone...

For those who aren't in the know, it is fast approaching Chinese New Year in real life. So I am going to be very busy for the next week or so. Like, very very busy.

For the first person to post IC eating some Dim Sum.

Hikaru is too busy to eat right now, with the ward being built and whatnot.

All those food posts... now I'm going to have to go have dim sum soon again.

Sorry, I'll post right on it now... I spaced.

Asterisk commcodes, if you cross reference them against your own commlink address list.

Anyone need anything from me at this point?

I dont know if we need anything, but I can see that we have stalled for one reason or another.

It's going to be another 2 hours IC until my character can do anything other than talk.

Similar with me.
I asume my 'granddaughter' apears sooner or later and we have picknick - I´ll do an IC about it (which will probably be nothing but fluff), when I´m posting my return (which will be in something like 2 hours or so, as well - unless any GM intervention occures.

Right now the only plans my character has is to see a contact but that will be much later in the evening hours.

Okay, somtime tomorrow, Tuesday, unless someone does something IC in the meantime, I'll push us along the timeline a tiny bit.

Perception - Visual
Intuition 3 + Perception (Visual) 2 + Visual Enhancements 3 = 8 dice
1,3,5,4,5,6,3,3 - 3 hits

Assensing
Intuition + Assensing = 4 dice
4,4,6,3 - 1 hit

At the woman outside through the peep hole.

Konsaki, no big deal, but your timestamp is off 2 hours.

Ok, since we have now jumped forward 3 hours to 15:20, who is in the safehouse at this time?

Current List
Hikaru
Blaze
Cloud
Wu Xian

Blaze is. Got nowhere else to be.

Wu Xian is alos in the safe house.

I intended to be back by then, too - but I´ll do an IC tomorrow, that has Si Wu arrive at the safehouse at approximately 1525.

You going to make me let you in again?
