I would ask what that translates to, but I'm guessing it's something like "in heat" biggrin.gif
Grinder

Really impressing. biggrin.gif
Meriss
I'm small time? Gee thanks Fist. wink.gif I go away for a weekend and can't even defend myelf smile.gif

@Plan B: Did you want to RP "Charlie's adventure with the Star" or shall I just post an IC assuming that he can fast talk his way out. Or do you want me to roll a Con test and go from there?
fistandantilus4.0
NP. Just think of it as a size thing. Cash is much bigger than Charlie. There fore Charlie is smaller. biggrin.gif
Lady Door
Charlie's adventure with the Star? I'm lost.. what is he doing?

Charlie's sitting in the bus station being questioned by KE. Trying not to lose his mind from boredom. Did you want me to roll a Con test to get past them or what?
fistandantilus4.0
Ahhhh.... I think it was the "Star" bit that confused both of us. Lone Star/KE, big diff. smile.gif
Meriss
Sorry. I was using Star as a catchall for cops in general.

Uncle Fist PMing you Charlie and Rave gear lists (just the unpriced stuff)
can I get stats and prices for them. (that way I don't have to keep bothering you or Plan B)

fistandantilus4.0
Yeah that's fine. Sorry, I tend to get side tracked easily. PMing is definitely the way to go to get me to actually do something. smile.gif
Tashio
Hey, Sorry for downtime from my side flu's had me stuck in bed most of the weekend.
Meriss
Poor Tashio frown.gif

@Fist welcome to wonderful world of ADD wink.gif
Callidus

Lady Door
@ Meriss: Sorry, edited the post to include the officer's name. Just not on top of it tonight, I guess. Many apologies. smile.gif
Meriss
NP Plan B. I wanted the name for later Sniffer, Browse work. Then comes a hand crafted long con. (never ever mess with a con man, and Knight boy just made himself fair game)
fistandantilus4.0
This should be fun to see played out. biggrin.gif
Lady Door
*giggles maniacally* I love it! You pull it off, extra karma for you! smile.gif
Meriss
This will be a downtime project for Charlie. And yes I will be RPing it. cool.gif

Also Charlie's meet ready, POed but ready.

@Callidus: I'm coming, give me a bit. smile.gif

@All: It's up to you whether or not you know Charlie. Although any one with knowledge skills in Miami Underworld or Miami Con men might know of him
Redjack
@All - Crow has worked off/on for Lincoln for a couple of years and he is also a regular in the Miami club scene.
Meriss
Charlie is in. What am I rolling for the cyber and bug sweeps.

@Plan B: What I said in the CTR thread, ditto for Charlie.

@Uncle Fist: Thank you for putting up with me. I know it's not easy sometimes. *poke* how much for a basic briefcase? smile.gif
fistandantilus4.0
So lesse, we got Meriss who is an elf, Grinder who is an elf, Callidus who is a troll... Redjack you were an elf as well right? Do we seriously have a team of all elves and trolls!?!
cool.gif

Briefcase : Good one will put you back $200.Basic closer to $75-100.

Hey can we get a physical description of everyone in the OOC so we can get an idea of what we're all looking out (and a roll call for that matter)?

Cash - Caucasian troll, 7'1", big build, but not for a troll. His build is more in line with a very tall orks. His horns sweep back across his head, starting at the peak of his fore head.His hair is black, well groomed, clean, and about neck length. Usually worn combed back, but not gelled.

His face is smooth, as are his arms. His skin seems not to have the normal bony dermal deposits sticking out. He has a datajack at his temple, wireless of course. Clothes are always clean and usually expensive. Most often he wears all black, right down to his socks. wink.gif. He also usually carries some sort of pistol in an underarm holster.
Meriss
Charlie is a Caucasian elf. He is twenty one years old, he is five feet eleven inches tall. He weighs around one hundred and forty five pounds (It varies) He has brown eyes, if examined closely enough they are revealed to be cyber, he has brown hair. His skin is medium tanned, he has a lean willowy elven build. It is as though a hundred statasticians got together and made the average elf, nothing seems to stand out.

He tends to wear buisness causal (a suit with no tie), carries a battered briefcase, and generally looks like he lives in his clothes. He has a an amused expression on his face and seems to blend into the background. He has a non obvious datajack behind his right ear. And no visable weapons.
Redjack
Crow

Crow is an attractive male elf with deep, piercing green eyes standing 6 foot and weighing in between 160# and 170#. He has a lightly freckled complexion with hair that is dyed black and he has that natural elven pose and grace that most non-elven fixers work their whole lives to achieve. He maintains an immaculate appearance to the point of even having manicured nails. He usually wearing a nice, pressed suit and does not carry any weapons.

100# and 5' 11"..? That's not willowy, thats anorexic! eek.gif
Meriss
oops! nyahnyah.gif Look who didn't pay attention in health class.<
Whats an avg weight for an elf 140-150?
Edit: Checked an old TSS. It says avg for elf is 159# so Charlie is really 145# Seems about right.
Thanks for pointing that out Redjack.
Redjack
No problem. I always struggle with the height/weight of my non-human characters as well. This one stood out because my daughter is 5'5ish and 130# and she is very athletic and lean..
fistandantilus4.0
I swear I remember reading somewhere that elves average around 6' in height and weigh in the 130 range. Being 6' my self and weighing just over 200.... yeah I got a bit of love handles, but my nominal wiehgt is 180... that's a big diff.
Lady Door
@ Callidus: "left 'til the lockout releases.... "

... huh? *confused*
Callidus
Shell

About 7'6", 285kg, looks like he was more heavily muscled but has lost weight (as in total mass reduced rather than muscles running to fat). He has short brown hair with two slightly bald patches where you suspect his horns used to be, but they seem to have been ground down at some point in the past. His skin is slightly sallow, as though he doesn't get quite enough sun, but his eyes are clear and green. He moves smoothly, almost too smoothly to be natural and is currently dressed in a good but still cheap suit (good to top quality for a wage slave, pathetic from a boardroom)
Callidus
@Plan B: I'm working on the premise that at some point in the past (and in a more lucid moment) Shell hard coded his commlink to limit BTL sessions to 2 hours and then set a lockout on them for 4-5 hours.... and he has just enough willpower left to keep putting off removing that code *8-> Otherwise I could easily see his addiction taking him out for most of a day *8->
Callidus
@Meriss: Being picky I know *8-> but Shell hasn't spoken outloud since before Charlie walked in *8->

@Redjack:

[ Spoiler ]
Meriss
@Callidus: Yeah I know, I realized that after I posted. nyahnyah.gif
Tashio
Planb I think you missed my post a page back or so in the IC thread smile.gif

Maybe just jump forward to the meet and we can resolve the dinner off the board.
Meriss
Hey Tashio You got you char for the cape town game? I'm just really curious to see what you come up with. (being a native and all)

Also I think we're still waiting on Grinder. Aren't we?
Tashio
Not yet, been stuck sick in bed, brains been too fried to think about chars, but its gonna be an Afrikaaner TM smile.gif

Need to get this game back on track first and slotted into that meeting somehow...

Kewl, Him and Rave will get along just fine. (provided he doesn't try to hack my cyber) Feel better soon. smile.gif
Lady Door
@ Tash: Just brought you into the meet. Sorry for the delay. smile.gif
fistandantilus4.0
Hey Tash, what race is your character? Tell me he's a troll! grinbig.gif
Tashio
NP Thanks smile.gif

Neit is a Caucasian male human, approx 5,9 slender build, 65kgs
(I don't do them funny pound things smile.gif Though for some reason we're still stuck with Feet and Inches for Height! Cause for some reason when someone ask your height and you go 189cm's you get these really blank looks. )
He's currently dressed in a black suit, black shirt with a black and orange striped tie, no jacket.

Green eyes, black hair, cut very short.
