Redjack, how are you monitoring Kin's conversation? If it's through the mic he doesn't have then there's a problem... Other than that, everything's cool. smile.gif

Soykaf - the way we've got it set up right now, even if you don't have a mic, if you want to say something to the team all you have to do is say it out loud - we've got the intercom on the limo set to pick up conversation from the back, and Musouka has all that networked.

Of course, subvocals are probably out, but in a pinch you can be heard.

The Kummushi drone under the seat in the back of the limo.
adamu
Yeah...that too!

Sorry Redjack, forgot about that.

I suddenly realized that to keep up this omnipresent facade I am going to have to start spreading around my micro-cams and get some micro-microphones as well. grinbig.gif

Ooooh... You a crafty grasshoppah!

I can't think of anything good to post before we get to the destination, so I might not post until we get there. If inspiration strikes though, I'll be posting away! Just wanted to let syndicate know not to wait for me, though.
Syndicate_killer
Ok, thanks for the heads up, I'll get on the arrival post
adamu
Yea! We made it!

Naturally I am itching to make an IC post, but confess I am at a bit of a loss - I sense that proper etiquette is crucial here, but honestly have no idea what is the proper thing to do. Of course, I also can't ride a motorcycle in real life - but that's what Skills are for!

Syndicate Killer - not asking for all the answers - just maybe if, based on the following roll, you could let me know the more proper of the two choices I am considering -

A) Roll in ahead of the limo, giving me a chance to report to Aniki, see if there's anything he needs from me at the moment, and be there for the meeting of him and Katchi.

B) Use more enryo, that is, social restraint, and just follow the limo in, and stand quietly but visibly off to the side, not trying to upstage anyone, knowing that Aniki knows that I and of course the rest of the team are there and standing by.

So - Charisma + Etiquette + Yakuza spec = 7 dice

5 3 4 3 4 4 1 = 1 success

This is an important moment for Match - he'd rather get killed than screw up in front of Aniki right at the most socially sensitive moment, and right as he is about to succeed at his first big mission, so...spend 1 Edge to reroll failures

3 5 6 1 2 6 = 3 successes

Total 4 successes.

I'm looking for Match to take the lead, but I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to get out of the car... When you say brothers, are these guys truly our peers or are they our betters?

I hadn't even realized the IC post was up.

My guess is that they're our betters, unfortunately.
Syndicate_killer
It'd be best to follow the limo in, then report to Aniki when all the formalities are done with.



Apologises everyone 1 cook and 3 servers have quit at the resturant I work at and, I've been covering alot of shifts

Yukika was going to stay in the limo, for various reasons... but apparently not... smile.gif

Match is going to just stay where he is until directed otherwise by Aniki - since that's what my Etiquetter test told me was the proper play.

That said, you are right that we are hosting this guy, which I think includes bodyguard service (all the higher ups must have 'em lurking around, I am guessing), so even if the rest of us go on hold waiting for orders, I agree it is appropriate for you to stick close to Katchi until Aniki (and no one else) tells you otherwise.

Just OOCing this since you cued me up IC but I don't really have any response IC but a slight nod.

Adamu

Yeah, that is perfectly reasonable. Patience is not one of Masaru's strong suits, however, so I wanted to make a post that might spur others to action. It was kind of half a cue up, and you can take it however you choose. wink.gif
adamu
I will be on road for next week. Will try to check in regularly, but no guarantee.

Match will naturally go along with anything Aniki orders him to do. He'll also go along with what the rest of the team does, provided it does not go against Aniki. If I don't check in within a reasonable length of time, don't stall the game out on my account.
If dice need a'rollin' SK obviously has my sheet.
adamu
Well, here it is a week later. I am back from my trip, but apparently have not missed anything....

Hope no one was waiting for me....

This is a really great game - hoping it doesn't fall by the wayside....
SoyKaf Adict
The other one I am in has, this is now my primary and only ShadowRun game, and I don't really know why it stopped, I'm gonna check the last post again.
Unarmed
Well, I've kinda been waiting for syndicate to further the action along, personally. I've been liking the campaign though, so far, and I don't want things to grind to a halt. This is currently my only messageboard game so without it I don't have anything to do, really.

I wasn't waiting for you, Adamu, but maybe Syndicate was and that's why things have slowed up.
Redjack
Either in this game or another, Syndicate had noted that he had been working a number of extra shirts at work and that there had been a large number of people quit.... Though I have to say that its bad form to not check in within a two week period no matter how swamped you are when you are running the game...

He makes shirts? ROCK ON!

All this time is passing while Yukika is melting in the early morning sun....
SoyKaf Adict
I'm a horrible person like that... >:)
Redjack
With each passing day I fear we are all melting away....

I actually understand why everyone's not posting right now. This is close to finals week, and I know April 30th - May 2nd I'm having all 4 of mine. So I will most likely not be posting then, but on the other hand nobody is posting, so I guess it doesn't matter, heh!
Unarmed
When should this officially be pronounced dead? wink.gif
Redjack
*sigh* About two weeks ago..
adamu
Dudes - I already offered Match, plus a lot of background material I worked up for this campaign, to another game master to use as NPCs!

This game is dead and gone.
SoyKaf Adict
That sucks some major testiclites... I enjoyed the hell out of playing my character in here, and role-playing with you all. biggrin.gif
