The fuckers want 12,000 nuyen.gif??? Are you kidding?

Any chance to figure out if this the usual amount of bribe?
Lady Door
It's nuyen.gif 1000 a month, so not unusual. It's clear that the KE cops in this area are working their own protection racket. Whether you pay or not is up to you, however you have the added advantage of knowing just what they'll do if you don't. You used to be on the other side of the line, remember? You may have never done this, but you did do your own shady dealing.
Grinder
Ah, it's for one year. That's a completly different story then.
fistandantilus4.0
that was my thoughts exactly. It could acutally be a good deal at that rate
. Hell, I think Cash'll buy that too. biggrin.gif
Grinder
Great, now I'm gonna have to fight. And I just wanted to go off and get some sleep.

If it's any consolation, you're kicking his ass.
Grinder
Hehe, yep it is. biggrin.gif

I'll dream of it when I fall asleep during lecture.

The cop looks at you with a mixture of concern and guilt. You know that look, you wore it yourself at least a hundred times on your careening decline into unemployment.


Sorry, I don't get it...
Lady Door
He knows you just paid a bribe and he knows his co-worker just accepted it but there's nothing he can do about it, cause he's on the take as well. If he talks he'll go down right along with the other guys. He's guilty but he feels bad.

Does that make more sense?
Grinder
Much more. I wasn't sure if he's on the bribe side or not. Thanks for clarification. smile.gif
Lady Door
@ Grinder: So, where did you get the bribe money from? Was it the resteraunt safe or your own pocket?
Grinder
Sunny's own pocket. Guess he's without any money now and needs a job. biggrin.gif
Lady Door
Excellent...

*does the Mr. Burns fingers thing*

Funny, I happen to know of a job coming up...
Grinder
Now that's a surprise. biggrin.gif
Lady Door
I can leave it there for tonight so you can get some sleep, Grinder. smile.gif
Meriss
Ack I always think of more stuff AFTER I go to bed.

Not that I'd got any sleep until I logged off...

fistandantilus4.0

No thankfully, that freeway is farther south. Thank God. We used to drive that freeway quite a bit when we lived in the Bay Area and I would not want to be any one of those commuters trying to get into the city. It's going to be a nightmare.
fistandantilus4.0
Yeah we used to live down there. You have no idea how bad traffic s going to be. That one thing is going to have a serious trickle down. Gives me an idea for a shadowrun actually.

Si in game ,I'm ready for the meet.

I think Grinder is just about there.

Haven't hear anything from Fastball after his intro.

Callidus, hope you're gonna get some posting in and cattching up soon.

Tasio, are you about in the spot for the meet?

Meriss, where are you at in terms of 'arriving for the meet'?

Meriss
I'm hoping that the meet/job will be on the shadowland node, if it isn't I just need to wrap up my job and My fixer will call me or something. In other words I need to post my char sheet.
Lady Door
As far as I know:


Charlie - need to roll Data Search for Shadowland search
Neit - having dinner w/Felix. Waiting for your response.
Tony - a@ your apartment and waiting to leave for the meet.
Grinder - @ the restaraunt. Waiting for your response.
Shell - @ Twiggy's Girls Galore: waiting for your response
Dean - @ your apartment. Waiting for your response.
Meriss
Yup Charlie's just scanning the shadowland node looking for work.
Lady Door
That's right... too many games in head.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*head pops*

I hate matrix biz w/ Cash. Can't use a bunch of his dice for social stuff.
Meriss

Sorry I should've said, I have no book remember, no book + NEWB = no stats and prices on gear eek.gif
fistandantilus4.0
ahhh... ok, that makes a bit more sense. I can help you with that. Give me just a bit here. I glanced over your list and nothing super pricey jumped out, but I'll double check.
Meriss
Well My brother is moving tommorrow so I'm for bed. Fist don't blow a gasket looking for the gear prices. smile.gif Just anything in the sheet that doesn't have a price next to it. Also don't worry about the cyber I'm fairly sure my character generator has the prices.
Grinder
Edited my "First ideas to Sunny" post and write down the names. Sunny got a nice Evan Solson one. biggrin.gif
Meriss
Fist I got Charlie's cyber done so that's one less thing you need to look up.

FYI, I won't be at home from May 7h to 11th and I don't know if I'll have the time for longer internet sessions. I'll be on vacation with four of the people I'm working with, visiting lovely Dresden. So please be patient if the game slows down a bit in that time.
fistandantilus4.0
I went in and edited the first posts for the IC and OOC threads, putting in links to each other, to make jumping over easier.
Grinder
Cool. smile.gif

What about posting all characters in the first OOC post too?
fistandantilus4.0
I could move copies over there.
You couldn't alter them though. Remember that glitch , ,where it drops everything after the first spoiler?

What we could do, is I or Plan B could post all the characters under one spoiler, than any char updates would be sent to PLan B who would update it there.
Thoughts?
Grinder
PMing or posting the char updates here and you update the first post is fine for me. And yeah, I remember the glitch wink.gif
Can't you insert some new posts after the first one? Like one post for every character? I mean, is it possible for you as a mod?
fistandantilus4.0
Unfortunately shuffling order and inserting new posts is one of the things I'm not able to do. I can edit another posters posts, or delete one if necessary. I can also move them to another thread, but they'll also automatically go in to chronological order.
Meriss
Sounds good to me Fist.
