Gang HQ
Raven
Turning towards China Doll, Raven says: “You wanted to work on my commlink? Eh, sure. But I don't think it's broken.” Then she hands it over to her. “Here, take a look.”
Afterwards, she hops back on her comfy seat in the HQ to relax, but when she wants to turn the music on, she realizes, that China Doll has her commlink, so Raven settles with watching curiously, what the more tech-savvy one is doing with it.
“I will need a few hours later, to get the materials from my flat and to use them for the summoning and binding ritual. Hopefully it will work out. It's a pretty difficult ritual.”

On the Street, en rout to The Zo e
Tao-Fighter
Tao nodded, he wasn´t waiting for her invitation, to take his seat on the bike, behind her.
Aziz comment echos in the back of his head. How are things? How's your little flower? She's such a sweet girl. The intention behind this comment had been clear to him, or so, he thinks.
Thus he does lean back slightly, to hold fast to the bike behind him, instead of it´s driver. Despite his lether jacket, he feels cold in the airstream. For the first bumps, twists and turns, he manages to keep his body stable on the seat, but when Halo accellerates, to test the machine and begins making sharper turns, to evade other traffic participants, he has to sling his arms arond her slender waist rather tight, least he would fall off the bike. Despite the cool airstream, he feels warm.
Seconds later, he has forgotten his worries, he is just given a ride. He leans close against her back, tightening his hug slightly and rests his head on her shoulder. Closing his eyes through most of the ride, he enjoys the sharp curves.

On the streets, en route to The Zo e
Halo
Halo didn't waste any time once Tao was situated on the back of the bike. She pops the garage door and relocks up the garage. Once she's triple checked the doors are down and locked (JAX would murder her if anything happened to the place) she guns the engine to a high pitched whine and shoots into a small opening in traffic W. Main heading away from The Zo e and finds herself amused when Tao chooses to hold on to the back of the bike instead of her.
She shifts gears smoothly on the bike, it's stickiness seemingly gone as she picks up speed. The faster she goes the more she feels like an extension of the machine below her, the vibration of wheels over ferrocrete feels like the racing pace of her heartbeat. She weaves in and out of traffic, cutting some close enough to elicit long horns and angry swearing from other drivers.
"Hang on!" She finally yells out to Tao before she takes a curve at a good clip and really leans the bike to the left for the turn onto Hunt. She laughs into the wind as she feels his arms go around her waist and hold on tightly. If she could she'd love to close her eyes and just lose herself to the speed, the sound, the feeling of the bike beneath her. At that very moment she didn't have a care or a concern in the world. Bliss had done it's job beautifully.
She winds through the streets on the border of their turf, taking Trafffic up to Maple and across the tracks. She eventually makes her way back up onto Main St. and starts toward The Zo e. She didn't want to keep Auran and JJ waiting too long because she needed to get her thrills on the bike.
21:23:09 Saturday, April 12 2070
In front of The Zo e
They pull up in front of The Zo e and she comes to a clean but quick stop in a spot close to the door. She's sure her arrival with Tao on the back raises a few brows. Perhaps even more once she takes off her helmet and the blonde hair comes flowing back down again. But that was the intended effect. She lets Tao off first before she swings a long leg over the bike and re-straps her helmet to the back. She's positively glowing, her heart's racing and she's got the rush that most people get after sex, without that thrill.
"Oh hell yeah that was intense!" She hi-5's Tao before engaging her security on the bike.

In front of The Zo e
Tao-Fighter
When they pull up in front of The Zo e, Tao jumps off the back of the bike, before she comes to a clean but quick stop.
He grins, like he´s allready had a line of Coke or two, his eyes lit up like stars, beneath his tinted glasses. Yeeha! He feels the urge to yell out, but keeps it cool. Though he has allways been a miserable driver himself, whithout using trodes, he enjoys a fast ride any time.
When he watches her, take of her helmet and swing a long leg over the bike, his grinning intensifies, but before she´s facing him, he restrains it to a happy smile. When they started, he got the impression, that she was high on something, or just had too many beers, but now, he whitnesses something else. The look of real happyness in her eyes, enhances his mood in turn. Though he´s slightly blushing, it would be associated with the heart hammering, the ride induced. She´s positively glowing, looking like she just had sex. Tao wonders what the strangers and maybe the other gangers inside the parlor would think. Better not have any of Rachels friends present. Not even this thought can hamper his positive mood anymore. He´s out for some fun.
TF: "What a ride!"
Halo: "Oh hell yeah that was intense!" She hi-5's Tao and he receives it, tempted to hit her ass with the momentum, but retains his courtessy and only pats her shoulder.

Tao-Fighter
Finally, Halo and Tao-Fighter enter the Fun Zo e, more then enough time, to catch a shower and redress. She looks sexy as hell, with her deeply V-cut, formfitting, purple top, black jeans and knee-high, black boots, clearly overshining the escort to her side. While he would fade away to the background normally, with his gray and black attire, he sticks out a bit in the neon sorrounding of the game machine parlor. Both of them look like they are coming straight out of the destert. Not dusty and drained, just a bit overheated and slightly exhausted, but happy. Drugs maybe, maybe something else.
Tao nods to all the right people, before aproaching his friends at the pool table. Doing a quick scan with his sensor array. Exchanging elaborate handshakes with the people, he had last seen less then half an hour ago, just for show.
TF: "So what will it be, 100 maybe?" 250
was his normal stack for a regular business game, but with his gangmates, he would even play over a drink or some menial task, as long as there was any stack, at all.

China Doll expostulates, (in Mandarin), "Cursed device of the torturered souls of the hell of bleeding ghosts and hopping vampires. I am no more use then a 8 beaded abacus."
With a crooked little grin she looks at Raven, "I'll need to take to crack the case, or do you want BronzeWyrm to whisper to it?"

Gang HQ
Felix
For the past few minutes, Felix had been pacing around the Y. The building was simply too big for him to ward it completely. Even if he only did the outside walls, he would only be able to cover a small portion... which any intruder could simply go around. He didn't like it, but he'd have to concentrate on a few rooms. The mage settled on the lounge and lobby, for now. If he still had some strenght left, he'd try to do other rooms.
When Wyrm's voice came booming over the PA, Felix was already on his way to the lounge. When he got there, the young mage couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. Most of the gang was gone. They hadn't waited for him. With a sigh, Felix dragged himself towards one of the couches. He had been so giddy and content when Halo had invited him to party. She had noticed him, seen him, talked to him. But now she was gone... Without a word.
Felix stretched and yawned.
He still had a lot of work in front of him.
Calling forth his Fire elemental, Felix tasked him in patrolling the grounds of the Y, to warn him and then engage any astral intruders. Of course, he made sure to add that neither Raven's nor Tao's astral form were intruders.

JJ
JJ pulls in to the back alley of The Fun Zo e after a wild ride, which occurred mostly off of the main roads, and slows Auran's bike to a stop. "Hope you don't mind parking in the back. Should be better, plus the two people that would steal it are already subscribed to it."
He gives Auran a crooked grin and laughs, "Kidding of course."
Moving to the rear door he calls, "Come on, let's play some pool and talk to Treeno."
Once inside, JJ nods to and acknowledges a couple of the kids playing either pool or the odd machine that is in working order. JJ's fun loving attitude and outlook on just about everything makes him a favorite of some of the younger kids in the neighborhood. Of course, the other half hates him, but he either is oblivious to the fact or simply chooses to ignore it.
Treeno is keeping his usual vigil, watching everyone and everything for signs of shinanagans.
JJ walks over to him and after a brief hello, starts in with a couple of questions, "Did the Star come by here? You tell them anything?"

Aziz loses his last ball, and angrily smacks the machine.
"Stupid tilt penalty...", he growls. He turns to see Tao, vaguely nervous about something, and Halo, who looks like a model, enter. Tao begins saying something about pool, and Aziz walks over to him.
"I'll take you on for 100, Tao.", he says, pulling a cue off the wall.

Auran quickly rushes inside the HQ, shouting, "One sec." Almost forgot the best part of the night! She runs back into the fridge, fills her helmet with a bunch of beer bottles, and lightly jogs back outside, careful to not "jingle" the beer bottles too much. She hope on the back of the bike, securing the helmet under her arm, she holds on for dear life as JJ takes control.

Never should have agreed to this, but at least it wasn't a scary ride. "Heh, JJ, you're probably right" Auran takes in her surroundings as the pair enter the Zo e, scanning the crowd for anyone peculiarly interesting, or someone that looks desperate. Maybe I could find us a lamb in this herd. After taking in the atmosphere for a bit, she starts searching for the nearest open pool table. In a rather loud voice she says, "So who wants to be my first victim?" Her voice turns sultry and slow as she poses, with a cuestick in hand, and swiping her 'stick making the balls roll down.

With quick, trained motions, he sets up the table with meticulous accuracy. Placing a bundle of bills on the side and explaining.
TF: "The rest will be there in a second."
Drawing a cue from the wall reg, he carefully waights it in his hand, looks down it´s length and fially at the tip. rotating it in his fingers with a smile and a disperaging sigh, he puts it back to the wall.
TF: "You know Aziz, if you want to keep this title, you should really get your own." He states, while wandering over to Treeno, to obtains his personal cue.
catapulting a coin into the air and catching it in flight, he smashes it down on the green bag stack.
TF: "99 fresh green UCAS Dollars and an almost silver dime." He anounces in a theatrical tone, a broad smile on his lips. "Heads or Tails, your majesty?"

Waking her way through The Zo e, she's quick to say her hellos to those she's familiar with, ending her rounds with those of her crew. Halo is far too happy to let Aziz and Tao have first dibs on one another at the pool tables as their stakes tended to be higher than she was willing to play for, considering she knew their skills. Instead she made her way over to stand behind Auran before whispering something for only her to hear.
"What do ya say we pick out some lazy bottom feeder and see if we can't lighten their pockets tonight?"
She was flashing a mega-watt smile and for the moment life was good.

"But," he says as he brings the beer bottle up to his mouth, "He didn't say nothin' to the Star."
"Let's finish these beers and head out. I don't think we need to stay gone too long."
JJ has a serious look to him. Unusual for a Saturday night.

"JJ, you're such a buzzkill." She smiles brightly at first, but it starts to fade as what he said sinks in her drug-altered brain. "It's good Treeno's on our side though, and that he won't rat. Sucks about Sarrah though."
She sighed slightly as it looked like their chance to pick up some extra cash tonight was foiled by responsibility. Not that going off and buying a bunch of Nova was responsible exactly, but then again the 410's weren't mama's little angels anymore. As quick as her mood soured, it was sweetened up again by another wave of Bliss hitting her. She closes her eyes as she smiles a dreamy smile.
"So where are we gonna do the score anyway? You guys decide all that yet? And who's riding with me down there?"

He pulls out one of the fresh packs of smokes, he had bought earlyer this night and rips it open. These where filterless russian imports, very strong and not to the taste of many, but they reminded him of the Amur river, the town of Mohe and his familie. He places the cigarret behind his right ear and puts the pack back into his jacket. No smoking or drinking during the game.
Before he turnes back to the table, he looks at his companions and, thinking for a moment, says.
TF: "Rahim? Don´t worry, we won´t take long. But if you´r edgy JJ, you can go ask him if he´s got what we need and then come back to us, it´s not like he sits in California."
Then he turns his focus back to the table. Now you´r gonna die.

Before he turnes back to the table, he looks at his companions and, thinking for a moment, says.
TF: "Rahim? Don´t worry, we won´t take long. But if you´r edgy JJ, you can go ask him if he´s got what we need and then come back to us, it´s not like he sits in California."
Then he turns his focus back to the table. Now you´r gonna die.

JJ
JJ walks in to the brightly lit pharmacy and waves hello to the woman behind the counter. She smiles back and chides, "Boy, what are you doing here? Up to no good, I'm sure."
"Yeah, yeah Stella," he starts back, "I'm always good, and you know it." He goes over to the mag rack pauses in front of it, but doesn't waiver long enough to have read anything.
"Where's Rahim?" he asks.
"In the back. Probably watching yo ass on the monitors."
"Thanks hon," JJ smiles at her as he starts back towards Rahim's office.
Before he can reach it, the door opens and Rahim sticks his head out. "JJ. How are you doing? Where is your shirt? Didn't you see the sign? No shirt..."
Before he can get any further, JJ interupts. "I know Rahim. I'm sorry, but that crazy lady you have working the counter ripped it off me."
Rahm stares at JJ for a second, looks towards the front, frowns, and looks back to JJ. "Why would she do that, JJ? I don't understand it."
JJ sighs and unsuccessfully tries not to laugh. "Rahim, we need to hook up with something that I think you could help out with."
Rahim once again stares at JJ with only his head poking out from the crack he's opened in the door to his office.
JJ shuffles from one foot to the other.
"Come in to my office."

When JJ asks if Auran is going she blinks a couple of times and wonders if she suddenly became invisible.
"Why yes, JJ I'd love to join you guys and try to help score a better deal." She mutters some more in Spanish before she looks at the two again. "If you're going to Rahim, might as well hoof it over there now already." She shrugs and just follows after JJ shaking her head.

Halo slips into the BaBa just behind JJ, but far enough she can see the expression on Stella's face once she recognizes the usual tomboy. She waves and keeps silent, for now, but starts laughing as JJ starts up his amusing reason for not having a shirt. She nods a silent hello to Rahim's eyeball, the only part of him save for a shock of hair, that she can see through the crack in the door.

When JJ butts in, Auran gives him a playful shove away. "Oh we were just talking about finding you a girlfriend who would actually appreciate your company." She giggles a bit, before settling down and regaining composure. "Hmm, maybe we should apologize to some of the locals, and try to reassure their safety. Hey, we can use all the protection money we can get anyway."
As JJ heads on over to the BaBa, she follows suit. Entering the store Auran nods to Stella, and walks right to the back as if she owned the place. As Rahim greets the crew, she smiles politely without saying a word, until they enter the secure back room where Rahim's "real" business is run. The office is small and cluttered, with a few padded chairs around a conference table, but it's functional. Auran waits for Rahim to sit first before seating herself. "Rahim, you know who we are, but we're here today for a slightly different reason than normal. We need weight. Serious Weight. For Nova. If the stuffs good and the deal is better, this might become a regular thing, catch my drift?"

They worked well together, some weird girl-bond or something, or kinship in the way Halo joined up with the gang.
She sits back studying Rahim intently, sizing him up, waiting for his response and readying a counter if he had the balls to tell them to "fuck off."

Tao-Fighter
Aziz had called Heads, the dime showed Tails, so Tao gets to start the game. Standing on the far side of the table, he concentraits for a moment, pushing aside all the worries and concerns, the sheaming and planing as much as he can. If I win, I win, if I loose, I win! he thinks, still grinning slightly due to the euphoria the ride had triggered in him.
He rubbs some chalk to the tip of his pool stick and blows off the excess, visualizing the balls trajectories in his head. leaning forward he aims along his cue, pushing it back and forth three more times, while steadying his breath. When the seconds in his display turn to 00, he hits the white ball. The table explodes into chaos, two odd balls in. So he goes on.
TF holes in some more balls, befor he can´t do anything, but bring the white one in a dificult position and leave the field to Aziz. His oponent kicks in the turbo and manages an impressive trickshot and goes on for the full ones.
This is when Tao finally notices, what had probably caused his focus to stagger. JJ is gone, but so are Halo and Auran. He had not assumed, that they would pull the whole deal without him, so he beems his partner a message.
[21:36:04] C410: Tao-Fighter@Auran <<Hey Snowtop, when you´r at the table, try to get as much as we can afford. I can drop in another 500 or so, if necessary! If we manage to pick up Rahims entire contingent, we might get a cut back and we´d be abled to corner the marked for some days. Everybody will be happy. While you´r at it, you might as well purchase some Cram on top of it, we could use it, if the shit really hits the fan. Oh, and tell Stella, I said "Hallo", will you?>>
He feels a bit dirty, advancing the gangs involvement in drug trade, but tries to concentrate on the game again, when Aziz presents him with a difficult constellation. He gets two balls in, but the others are shielded so he has to hand over again. He brifly considers cheating, but drops it. Kinking it three time, he lights his smoke instead. At least I´ll have an easyer time, to score some reall stacks in the time to come, with him taking the spotlight from me. For him, the game is over.

Watching Aziz´s ball-by-ball progress almost straight to the end, not having much to do, other thoughts slowly take hold in his mind. Fuck, Felix! He suddenly feels like an asshole. Poping up the window with the camera feed from the Y again, he watches his friend working in the lounge. He should be helping him. Even worst, Tag would feel realy bad, being left behind, after Halo had asked him to come along for some partying. Shame and guilt arise in him. He knows, they would be back soon, baring any complications, but still his fallow mage must have fealt a real hit when they where all gone. Clenching his jaws and taking a deep drag, he sends a message to BronzeWyrm. He wasn´t in the mood to fake code-talk however.
[21:37:24] C410: Tao-Fighter@BronzeWyrm: <<Hi pal. Did you speak to Tina? Is she still going to stick? When you are done sorting this out, could you keep an eye on Felix? He doesn´t look that happy and I had no chance to talk to him yet. Maybe the both of you can chear him up a bit, this would be realy sweet! I´ll be with you in a few minutes, least there are any complications. See You -- TF>>
When Aziz finaly took the prize, he gave him an apreciative smile. He had really put some affort into this game and earned his moment of glory.

"Looks like the others left to go score the drugs. I'll leave you to your pool table, with your fancy personal cue.", Aziz says, replacing the cue he took off the wall. "Maybe you can score off some of the other patrons." With that, he goes back to a pinball table and begins play.

JAX flinches as CD's chopsticks stab at the terribly thin box holding his dinner. In his lap. What is it with these women and my crotch? I must be doing something really right... or something really wrong.
He opens his mouth to save something and CD stabs again. He closes his mouth, closes it. "I uh... I was going to save some for tomorrow."
The pork floats expectantly in front of him and he sighs, "Thanks." He takes the chopsticks from CD's outstretched arm and fumbles it back into the box. "Shit." He looks down, "Ah wel, I wanted to save it anyway. It was good, thanks for bringing it by, Mer... CD."
He leans back, swiping an abandoned beer and trying to find a comfortable spot in the ragged cushions of the couch. China Doll goes to work on a commlink and JAX scoots over on the couch, hoisting his leg clear of her and the gear. He leans forward so he can better see down her blouse and what she's doing.
"Man, give me a bike engine any day," he shakes his head watching her work with the delicate circuitry. The others head out on the drug run and JAX calls after them, "Don't get shot at again."
The door bangs shut giving him a fleeting glimpse of JJ's one-finger salute. He chuckles and looks back at the table, his eyes grazing a box on the table. Oh fan-fragging-tastic. I guess CD and me have the box.
He is absorbed watching CD work, and starts when his comm buzzes. Cutter's ID appears on the screen and a picture - a bike.
"No way!" JAX jumps to his feet. "No WAY!" He grabs CD under her arms and lifts her up off the ground, spinning her around before putting her back. "Guess what?! Remember when you got your bike that Cutter said she had a line on its twin...? She's got it!"
He stands over her nearly vibrating with excitment. It's rare that the grim young man is so expressive. Oh man, oh man. He grins down at China Doll, "Would you take me to get it?"

She gathers any items she'd set aside to do her exercises then heads to the lounge, hoping that Wyrm paging Felix to the lounge means Wyrm saw Raven there. She thinks, "I don't want to have to hunt around The Y for Raven since it would be best if I can get a ride home soon to get those supplies from Dad's clinic."

Backing off, she watches carefully as each of the numbers rapidly flip through a set of hundreds of characters and numbers, moments later settling into a steady set of characters. Comparing this to a scratch window, she frowns, then punches a button on her control console. The ten key pad vanishes, along with the floating whiteboard displaying a complex workflow process. Several other large screens move into prominence, displaying images of the streets and interior of the Gang HQ. The ground minimap over which she towers updates, shifting the locations of several green and silver personal icons, and some red and yellow blinking markers.
Startled, China Doll highlights a display.

China Doll, very disoriented, tips over when put back down. She blinks rapidly, looking up at JAX vacantly as she drops out of VR and multiple image overlays shift in and out of focus. Settling her focus on JAX huge smile, she repeats, "Get it?..."
Replaying the scene in X10 triggers, "Oh cool! Euro imports are pretty rare even though they obviously perform well in the championships. Everyone wants cheap over quality."

"I can give you a ride to Cutter's yard... right, the vans not rigged for remote, probably not the bike either, so no point taking the van, can't drive both home."

"I be getting you 8 more by tomorrow night, but you be giving me half the cred now, another hundred." He looked sure of his deal, not expecting the group to object.
But he obviously forgot just who he was dealing with. Halo gave a quick glance to both JJ and Auran with her brow raised before she spoke up.
"C'mon Rahim don't jerk us around like that. She said heavy weight and I know you've got product you need to move off your shelves. Besides, you know we look after the BaBa for you. You can do better than 25 nu a line for us. Let's try 15, and we'll forget you just tried to screw us." She completely low-balled him on purpose, if they wanted to the three of them could drive into downtown and pick up some for 20 but the quality would be suspect. Rahim's shit was quality and reliable so she didn't want to blow the deal but with the way Auran put it out on the table he should know his interests were protected and the fact that they were willing to move product for him would be the beginnings of a profitable relationship for everyone involved.
She sat back and closed her eyes for a moment, waiting what would almost assuredly be a counter-offer.

Tao-Fighter
Tao smiles at Aziz´s gesture, but gets distracted, when the 'King of the Pool' replies, as he has an incoming comcall.
As he turned his attention away from Aziz, to receive the call, he spotts Mindy Hwang, Rachels best friend and a known antagonist to her involvement with Tao, sitting on a couch and waving her hand at him, smiling sweetly. TF nodds back to her and offers a fake smile, that freezes in his face, as he notices who´s calling him.
TF to himself: "Hi Mughnghwa!" He flinches slightly at the reply only he coan hear. Afther a moment of listening, he raises his voice. "I did what? No way, who.." He casts his eyes on Mindy again, who has a hard time, disguising her amusement in a friendly expression. "Listen, plumblossom, I was just.." He pauses again, biting his lower lip. "I was just playing a round of pool with Aziz!" He cast´s a helpless look to his gangmate, trying to keep his voice low. "Pictures?" But it doesn´t work. "What pictures?"
He looks at Mindy again, who aims her comlink at him and takes a snapshot, now flashing an amused grin. bitch
"No, we did.." He struggles for words, turning away from Mindy and Aziz and lowers his voice again. "She just gave me a ride." Looking around, to ease his feeling of having the whole Zo e´s undevided attention. His voice turns whiny for a moment. "Poppyflower." Bringing his pool stick back to Treeno and listening to his girlfriend. As he hands over the cue, he suddenly bursts out. "We´r not even on the same floor!" Shooting Mindy a deadly gaze, which she documents with her comlink, Tao-Fighter strides to the exit. "That´s just silly and you know."
Leaning at the door frame, he continues his conversation subvocalizing fore some time. Slowly regaining his comfort.

Aziz lights a cigarette, as he notices Tao being hassled by some girl. When Tao glances at him nervously, apparently having a nervous conversation with his hyperjealous trollop of a girlfriend, he shakes his head.
By Allah that boy is just a lapdog for that girl. She's not even that good looking! Guess I should help him out..., he thinks. He comes away from his spot at the pinball table, and steps in front of the girl, blocking her commlink from taking more pictures.
"Is... there a problem, you self-satisfied bitch?", he asks harshly, glaring down at Mindy. "Wipe that smile off your face. You seem to be taking a lot of pictures. Documenting something?" He quickly reaches out and tears the commlink out of her hand, and drops it the floor, to crush it under his boot. He turns to Tao, and points at him.
"And you! Grow a pair, you spineless pointy-eared fuck! You're making me sick.", he says angrily.

Auran
Rahim sits there very still and quiet for a short moment, almost as if he wanted the tension to build up for the situation. He manages to stay calm, showing years of experience at these situations. From Auran's view in the astral, she could see the slightest redness boiling up through his calm blue demeanor. Was it rage? or fear? Auran stays calm and cool staring straight into Rahim's eyes, her face masked in a small smile.
Rahim sighs... "Very well, I have heard of what you have been doing around here. I was frightened at first when the Star had asked me if I had seen any '410 Crash.' But I saw footage on news, a bunch of Ork Poozers that weren't from this part of metro. I would be happy to take extra good care of you, if you take extra good care of this little shop." His heavy Indian accent makes some of the words a little more difficult to understand, but he speaks fairly articulately. He pulls out the bag containing the four doses and places it on the table saying, "You want look?" Auran checks the stuff out, making sure it looks legitimate and rockish. She looks at Halo with her pinky stretched out almost waiting for a nod either way, but she dips the tip of her finger in and tastes it anyway, waiting to feel it's numbing effect.
Auran smiles wide at JJ and Halo while nodding her head in approval, almost as if she was grooving on some unknown rhythm. She then turns to Rahim and says, "Thanks alot, Rahim, in fact, with this amount we might need a few extra perks tonight" She smiles widely at Rahim now and continues, "Preferable Cram and Bliss. We might take Haul if you got it too, but that we'll nead a steal." Auran gives the bag to Halo and signals for her to get out the Stuffer's Cash.
Standing up, she stretches and waits for everyone else to exchange money other drugs and whatnot, before shaking Rahim's hand and going out the door. She smiles at Stella and buys a carton of cigarettes, a lot more soycaff, and a lot more kool-aid and a big bag of sugar. As Stella starts scannning the items, Auran runs around and also grabs a few candy bars, snack cakes, and a small pint of Chocolate Ice Cream before apologizing to Stella and paying for her stuff.
As they prepare to leave, Auran sidles up to JJ and asks, "Hey big stud man, mind flexing your muscles and carrying this big heavy box of soda to our ride?" She winks at Halo and giggles at JJ awaiting a response...

He shakes his head and cradles the bag under his left arm like he is carrying a football.

Halo
She reaches into the inner pocket of her jacket and pulls out the cash scored from the stuffer. She's quick to count out the 120 nu that they now owe Rahim and places it on the desk in front of him, but keeps her fingers on it for one more moment.
"We'll be back tomorrow night, same time to pick up the rest. You be good to us, we'll keep being good to you and the store. Besides I think JJ likes Stella." She flashes a smile and a conspiritorial wink at Rahim guessing he wouldn't get the joke any better than JJ's missing shirt.
"Can you do anything for us on the Cram and Bliss side while we're here, or tack that onto the rest of our order in 24? I'll give ya 15/hit of Bliss and 20 per shot of Cram. Whatever you can manage. And like the pretty girl out there said, if there's Haul in there too, we'll pay."
She drops the remaining 30 on the stack as a down payment towards the Bliss and Cram and then lifts her fingers off the nu and slides it closer to him finally offering her hand to shake on the deal. She had a feeling that Rahim would pull through for them, he almost always did.
Rahim said nothing more but nodded before shaking Halo's hand and watching her closely.With the business concluded she slipped out of the office and joined Auran at her side in time to hear her request JJ's help.
"Sounds like he'll come through on the rest of it for us too if we give him the next 24." She smiled and looked at her two companions. "So, what now? Back to The Zo e for more pool, or are we headed back to the Y with munchies and the score?" Once Stella had finished ringing up all the goodies, Halo passed Auran a bit of cash and grabbed one of the bags from her to help carry shit back.

Tao has his back to Mindy and Aziz, as he aproaches the girl. She stays cool and prepares to offer a sly return to the rude speak, but her expression turns to a silent outcry, as he snatches away her comlink and crushes it on the ground. Her eyes show her thoughts clearly even through the vail of fear. You will pay for this! She´s thinking to her self.
Treeno is watching the situation with rising concern, only inches away from speaking up to his patrons, as he takesover the cue from TF.
When Aziz adresses his gangmate, Tao mutes his subvocal for a moment, to reply in a calm voice.
TF: "Play it low, champion, I get this situation smothed out.. in my way! You don´t want to caus Treeno any trouble right?"
He cast´s a look at Mindy, who´s still glaring at Aziz with fear and anger, then returns to his comcall.
After talking for some moments, leaning out of the entrance, he adresses the other crasher again.
"Girls are ready, Aziz, so stop flirting and let´s roll!" The Elf obviously had regained his cool and even his happyness. He shoots some nods at the right people and even Mindy, again and turns to walk out.

"Alright Tao. Sounds good.", he says, and turns back to Mindy, his boot grinding the shards of her commlink against the ground more. He looks her up and down, with her staring up at him with a mixture of rage and fear.
"You know...", he says, "You're a lot cuter when you smile." He leans in and kisses her on the forehead. "You should do it more often." He winks at her, then turns and follows Tao out of the Fun Zoe.

Halo is fiddling with the bag and trying to send a message at the same time she's trying to peek in the bag to see if there's anything non-soy based inside for her to munch on. She could feel the cravings coming. At least she had the Triple Happiness China Doll scored for her earlier. That was gonna come in handy when they got back.
C410: Halo@Tao-Fighter: "Well I can't exactly leave your ass sitting here now, can I? Seriously though, I'm game for heading back and if Auran is cool with it to grab your stuff... Whatever, I'm just starving!"
She nods to Aziz and Tao as they come out of The Zo e, and casts a protective glance to where she parked her bike. Happy that it's still where it was left and looked like no one was stupid enough to touch it she smiles to the guys.
"So who's the current King of Pool?"

That done she brings her legs up, resting her chin on her knees and watches Feix work with whatever he's doing... The process is clearly wearing him down... Unless one of the others can cheer him up, he's probably going to be too bummed out from all this to do anything.... Wyrm sighs, and finishes off her beer, wishing she could do something to cheer the young mage up.

"Eh, Slam! Got an idea to run past you. After this little bit of work is over, why don't we start a brothel with spirits the whizkids summon? They'd be immune to disease, so the patrons don't need to use condoms; and since we can just summon another one, we can also go charge a slight fees for the folks with... violent tastes, if you know what I mean."
