Hah, awesome! Jason isn't an ork though... I love the sneer on Sean smile.gif
Tarantula
Yeah, Jason is a human, just a very ugly one. Other than that, your stuff is looking good so far.
Redjack
We still on for Thursday?
Backgammon
Hmm, actually I don't think I can. I am coming back from a business trip laaaate Wednesday, I don't think I'll be up for GMing on Thursday. Since I think Jason it was can't Friday, we're down to next week. I won't be able next Thursday either, but Friday should be ok. Busy couple of weeks for me, sorry!
Redjack
Friday the 18th? Looks ok so far.
Tarantula
AFAIK this friday is ok for me. Maybe it was someone else? 18th also works for me. 25th won't.
Redjack
Well I am unavailable on the 11th, so that's me.
Tarantula
So, 18th it is then? biggrin.gif
Redjack
Updated render of Sean & Jason. Man is Jason UGLY!
Still working on adding the others.
Backgammon
Ah yes, looks much more like Jason. Right down to the bulging crotch twirl.gif

18th is still the target date, yes.
Redjack
He needed a place to keep his sock.
Backgammon
Of course.

*cough*
Tarantula
Well, come on, its gotta have some kind of positive. Besides, it probably doubles back on itself or something like a Z.
Redjack
Here is my second take on Arilus.
This one is pretty close to the photo reference.

nyahnyah.gif Time for some new ware, it seems. And yeah, I checked the cash, got some beetles to slot.
Dantic
Since the last session ended with it being late in game, will we be starting out with the next day, on the 18th? Just wondering, so if the night has passed in game and Max got drunk, passed out, had nightmares, all that jazz. spin.gif
Backgammon
Yup.

smile.gif
Tarantula
Playing on this friday right? Just reminding everyone...
Backgammon
I'm still good for this friday
Redjack
Ditto
Redjack
There has been a negative development in the last 24 hours and I will be unable to attend this Friday. Sorry for the late notice. Wouldn't bail if I didn't need to.
Tarantula
Ugh, any chance for a quick reschedule for thursday? I'm free.
Backgammon
Negative, I will be on ze plane. Although a funny though of playing Shadowrun on a plane and making everyone think I'm a crazy terrorist talking about killing this guy and breaking into that place just crossed my mind.

We're looking at next Friday. My month of nomadism continues though, and there is a possibility I will again be on a plane at that time. I will let you know should that occur, but for now next Friday 25th works for me.
Dantic
frown.gif Sigh, Oh well, 25th it is.
Tarantula
Righto, I guess that'll have to do...
Redjack
Ok, sorry for the continual back and forth... I am going to be home on tomorrow. If everyone is still game, a game is just what I need. wink.gif
Backgammon
Yup! biggrin.gif
Tarantula
Huzzah, especially since i came back to the thread to post that i forgot my dad was in town next week and we are doing dinner on friday, so thats out for me.

Tomorrow though? All good!

Ok, here are Sean's notes for the run so far:
-------------
On Wednesday evening (January 28th, 2070) I ran into Rocko down at Mikey's Cub. Never seen Rocko that serious before, I was taken aback but curious. Seems he'd been charged with finding an info broker who goes by the handle London. Problem is that's all he had. Not who. Not why. Not even details about her. Talk about a frigging needle in a haystack!

We started by tracking her down, online. That meeting didn't go too well though. She wasn't interested in the knowledge that people were out to kill her, she already knew she had enemies.

So we started tracking down more information about her. She had ties to neo-anarchists and to the Triads. We tracked down a fixer called Tornado. Our new hacker Max was able to hack his com and get some information. He found out that Tornado hired Victor (mage) and Chonobug (Sam) to air her brains out to dray. By early morning we were exhausted, Max was looking worse for wear and we were all frustrated. Time for shut-eye.

The next morning Arilus showed back up. We put him on the neo-anarchist angle, those being his people and all. We spent the day chasing ghosts as the Doctor provided update on sightings of the hit team. It seemed they were having no more luck than us tracking down London. Hell, we didn't know for sure if she was even a she and if so what she/he might look like.

Evening found us at some neo-anarchist bar in Manhatten. We let Arilus handle that one. Leg-work being what it is, we were referred to some place in the Bronx. That was a fun trip, ending up cutting through a collapsing building, getting chased by zombies.. Jason and I headed out when they started popping up, but of course Arilus wanted to expend some ammo. I thought we were gonna be recruiting again, but I thought that in the alley with the Vory as well. Arilus is one lucky bastard.

So we get to this place well enough, but they're not just up to giving us what we want. They want a favor first. Seems there has been an issue with their wireless. They think some back to native wanna-be tribals are interfering with it. Ok. So we reluctantly agree to check it out and deal with it. Then they break out AK's and grenades. Frelling grenades! These are just some wanna-be tribals?

Arilus grabs up both. I declined deciding no contact is a better policy. That done, the three of us head out. We move quietly enough sneaking up on their 'home' cave. However, while watching a trio head in, Jason used his mojo to tell us we'd been made. We looped wide and headed in while the trio were looking for us.

Now I've seen some sick dren, but this ranks up there. Some ork was slapping around a dwarf girl. She wasn't a kid, but neither was all grown up either. That had me fuming. He was gonna die on the way out, but then this sick goat-lover over by the fire was chewing on something... Or more appropriately, someone's hand.

That was it. I screwed on my silencer and put two rounds into his. We worked our way through the room, but the time Arilus was throwing grenades Jason and I had already geeked the ork. While I covered the entrance, holding off the trio who went looking for us, Arilus went further in and found some sort of real nasty.

Anyway, when it was done, we figure that dwarf girl is one of those technomages or whatever they're called. Those people who can cast spells or whatever in the matrix. So here we sit.

@Backgammon
What is the name of the neo-anarchist bar in the Manhattan?
What is the thing in the Bronx? A policlub? A bar?
What info is it that the neo-A's in the Bronx are gonna give us?
Dantic
Umm, WTF? over frown.gif

1) The bar is called Volta!.
2)If by "thing in the Bronx" you are referring to the Neo-Anarchist base, it's technically a server farm that supports many Neo-Anarchist databases, Matrix sites, comm relay, etc.
3) The Neo-A in the Bronx called LiveWire knows where London is, and is going to tell you.

You missed a game Friday. There was some last minute back-and-forth so it's understandable. In general I recommend subscribing to the thread to know when its updated to take a look. But no worries - we just had your character sleep off a particularly strong dose of sleeping pills. You will awake just in time for next game wink.gif
Redjack
Are we on for a Thursday game or is Friday August 2nd the next game?
Backgammon
Friday no cause Tarantula has something. Thursday I may be on a trip. I will let you guys know when I know.
Tarantula
Yeah, I'd be free thursday, or thurs or fri next week also.
Backgammon
No go for me this week. On a plane again frown.gif

Next week looks free though.
Tarantula
Friday is free for me, so is thursday.
quentra
I'm 18 tomorrow, and I'm gonna be getting drunk, clubbing, strip clubs, etc, that weekend, so I can't show.

Happy Bday man. We're talking about the 31st/1st though, can you show then?

Tarantula
Awesome with the render, though I do miss my sock wobble.gif
Redjack
Two days to a game?
Backgammon

Dantic
Friday is good rotate.gif
Tarantula
Friday works.
Tarantula
Quick update I forgot about, Internet at my house has been shut off, as the service ended the 31st and we hadn't found a new provider yet. I'll be on if I can manage to find a neighbor to borrow the 'net from. Should be there.
Dantic
A little extra flavor for Max, spoilered to save room, but for all eyes. grinbig.gif

Backgammon
Ok, so looks like Jason didn't get any successes on his datatap roll, so with that we decided to cancel tonight's game.

However, we are playing for certain next Friday the 8th with whomever shows up.
