You ugys are fucking hilariouis biggrin.gif
Callidus
Planning on Luigi helping move Helga onto the gurney, if he's fit for it, alhtough someone might well have to wake him up first and with the gobs of physical and stun he has he's probably asleep *8->
fistandantilus4.0
Luigi is healed by the Doc for three boxes, and by the magicla healer that arrives while he's under for another 5 physical healed.

Rayo fairs better under the Doc having 5 boxes healed. Apparenlty he's familiar with how to fix you up.

And we get to the next day.. when? indifferent.gif

busy weekend (and monday). will post later today, once i have completed my semi-daily ritual of lying on the bed unconscious for too few hours.
fistandantilus4.0
biggrin.gif good for you, get some rest.
fistandantilus4.0
OK fellas, it's been a few days with no posts. Let's keep this moving. Figure out your business as a group so we can get to the meat.

psh, post on the IC instead of the OC and that won't happen! nyahnyah.gif

@Galedeep - one hour of game time is when you're finished with Lucky and contacting J. I know mfb's been a bit busy lately. Hopefully a PM will get his attention.
mfb
yeah, sorry. i'm trying to keep up, but if i miss posting on one day, i'll generally forget the next day... and the next, and the next, and the next. please do PM me if and when i fall off the wagon.
fistandantilus4.0
No problem, I know how it gets. I tend to dread getting caught up if I fall behind a day or two my self.

Deva, wake up! biggrin.gif
Deva
Yes.. mom. wink.gif

Callidus, looks like you're the tie breaker on the IC. You know, assuming you guys are voting. biggrin.gif
Callidus
lol *8-> post coming as soon as brain functions again..... damn work making me go in on Saturdays as well as all week *8->

smile.gif Thanks. Sorry for the slave driving.

Exactly.

I would've been worried if you had gotten it. smokin.gif
fistandantilus4.0
Ok folks, if we're all good to go on the plan as is, please say so, or your arguements , so we can move on.
Deva
We have a plan?
I think we just got a bunch of suggestions for a plan.
fistandantilus4.0
That's my point. Let's get a set plan, or decide that one of these suggestions is a plan, and move the game along. We've been sitting in a meeting in the doc's office for two weeks now.
mfb
this is why i hate in-character planning sessions, haha.
mfb
here's a list of activities J will undertake, if left to her own devices.

-ask Manusco about more permanent arrangements for Jeremy, starting with a nanny or something, but also making some inquiries into private schools (especially with regards to costs, and ways to offset them)

-hire a taxi to drive her past the boat, if possible. she'll ask to be driven to an address on the same road as the boathouse, then say she got the wrong address and ask for one further past the boathouse, then "give up" and have the taxi drive her back to Lucky's.

-get ahold of a few clips of stick-n-shock for her pistols and her SMG.

-also ask Manusco about local tattoo shops that might be looking for a part-time artist.
fistandantilus4.0
Feel free to supplement the IC planning w/ OOC chatter. Because I compeltely agree, it lags horribly.

- The Family owns a nice apartment building or three. There are apartments available there for certain important associates and made men. Frankly, normally J wouldn't be important enough for it, as their space is limited, and they use it for safe houses as well But Mancuso is kind of over the barrel on this run at this point, so he can arrange a few things. As mob families tend to have real families as well, a number of them go to the same private school. He can also arrange for a very easy payment plan. As in, you plan to pay by working. There is a day care at the Franklin Heights building as well. Plus, Julian has it on good authority that one of Luky's bar tenders, a 20 - something named Jenny, baby sits Lucky's adopted son at all sorts of all hours. Sort of an on-call sitter, just expensive for the convenience.

- I'm a big believer in automation in 2070. There's an autocab service ran completely on autopilot drone brains. Don't even have to make up a good excuse, just pay the tab. smile.gif

- Roll for Availability. We'll do this the easy way.+3 modifier fo being "connected". Guns are easy to get through the family, as is ammunition.

- He'll get back to you on that wink.gif

Deva
Rayo is going to take a boat, anchor it somewhere near the boathouse and discretly keep eye on it, while fishing of course.
Also he calls to his military contact and tries to get hold of some explosives, maybe trading them for a not-so-much-used combat drone.
Callidus
Okay I thought we had about two days before the scheduled meet time or am I dribbling again? Thought we knew the exact time (at least to the hour or so) but prolly wrong *8-> Ah well guess Luigi lost a day or so somewhere *8->
fistandantilus4.0
QUOTE (Eve pg48 IWTF)

Eve doesn't answer for a solid minute. Her expression stays unreadable, making her escort tense as well. Finally, she looks at Lucky again. Alright. There's on old boat house on the lake, a big crappy brown thing. Used to be used by some tour company before they went under in the Crash. Now it just sits there. It's off exit 46, in Jefferson Parish. it was called Gerber Tours.

Blake knows something's gong on though. He's meeting the Gianelle's Saturday, not next week. And he's hired a couple runners for security. He's coming in by boat.

Understand this, Blake is going to be there. Kill anyone else you want. But if you kill him, I'm coming for you. Both of you. And you won't die slow. Leave him alive and as unharmed, or you'll both die.


Hopefully that will clear up the confusion. You did have a few days until all sorts of things started going down against the krewe, so Blake moved up the date of the exchange. It's currently Friday Aug 17th. The exchange is on Sat Aug 18th. And she didn't give you a time. Luigi wouldn't know this as this was information that Lucky and J got while Luigi was being totured for information.
Callidus
Hehe, playing in character even when I wasn't expecting to *8->
fistandantilus4.0
Keep the posts coming please guys. OOC planning is fine

So far we have Bennet picking up a drone, and J doing a quick scouting run of the place.

Rayo seems to be leaving, to do what though is unknown

Luigi's intentions also unknown
Deva
What do you mean "unknown"? I think I clearly wrote what he's going to do, four days ago.
fistandantilus4.0
Ah, yes you did. Groovy. Sorry, I was looking at the IC and missed that bit.

Callidus?
Deva
Also Rayo calls back to Dr. Tell asking about how Sleeping Beauty (or Sleeping Horrible, if you like) is doing, before going to the meet at Lucky Strike.

And he would be really, really happy if he could somehow get a new combat jacket for himself. Dwarf size, please. Not pink or orange. And couple of clips of ammo (regular and explosive) for his automatic pistol. And maybe a ring of protection for shotgun slugs.
fistandantilus4.0
He can get all those (except the ring nyahnyah.gif) through Benny easily enough. Tell says that Helga is in rough condition, but she's hearty, and should recover. She'll likely be concious in a day or two.
Callidus
Sorry was away this weekend... I'll put a post up inna sec but Luigi's gonna take a look in on the troll that helped out and then go trolling (pun indended *8->) for info on this boathouse.
mfb
sorry about the long hiatus. i'm back in black, now.
Callidus
Wb mfb *8->

Oh and thought I'd actually spend some karma and CSPs.... think this might be the first time ever in a DS game *8->

[ Spoiler ]
fistandantilus4.0
It would be 13 for initiation without an ordeal or a group.

Generally I don't allow Initiation without some time being taken for it. However, I'll make an exception with this one since we're nearing the end of this run.

I will, however, require some sort of IC post as to the initiation. Whether it's an introspective growing of self awareness, a ritual of some sort, whatever, just post something IC about his growth.

Go ahead and raise the skills as listed

mfb - welcome back, you're just in time. smile.gif Things settle down a bit for you?
Callidus
Was just enquiring on the initiation for later as I don't have the karma atm *8-> but yes he'll be chatting to Bear more in the future to get his horizons expanded *8->
mfb
heh, yeah. i wish the control panel would get fixed, it's a lot easier to keep up when i can quickly check my subscribed threads for new posts.
fistandantilus4.0
New software should be rolling around soon. I know I've been saying that alot, but the beta version is together and running.
fistandantilus4.0
Deva - Sorry Chummer. That's one up side to being "In the Family". Easy connections to top gear.

At least you get a free steel lynx with a LMG though! biggrin.gif
Deva
*comes to the open grave, wearing the suit of catholic priest. It says "IWTF; Never finished, never forgotten" on the tombstone*
Ahem.. friends, from around the world, we have comed to say our last goodbyes to our friend the mob-game, who was brutally annihilated by a group of anarchist biker elves-game. The game had many participants, but one by one they silently drifted away leaving only less and less of us wondering - not IWTF, just WTF. Still, you will be remembered and honored and.. oh, what the hell.
*kicks the coffin in to empty grave, throws his priest collar after it and puts the black and red biker jacket on*
Take care, bye bye then..
*drives away to the sunset with good ol' Rapier*

*undead voodoo zombie game rises from the depths*

Thanks Deva for giving me a kick. I haven't done half the things I should be oding on any game at the moment. Just other things giong on. I'll get some more posts rolled out tonight.

As IWTF stands, I need posts from mfb and Callidus in response to the recent posts.
Galedeep

Poor, poor Bot. He's never going to come back.

Also, poor, poor Serenity game. It's never going to come back.

*sigh*

Callidus
I'm still here, think I'm needing a response from someone, but I'll check inna sec *8->
