Okay, this is the OOC thread for the Tree of Life "campaign" - all the usual stuff goes in here, dice rolling, game-related but not in character questions and comments.
You are all on floor 26 with Hiromitsu. The other stuff I posted... that... well that's important (your characters don't know it though. Consider it a prologue tease

So...I guess we just jump in now, huh?

Anytime you're ready!

Just to avoid any confusion, this is my character's impatience rather than mine.

Also, a comment on my syntax, though I'm open to changing it if people desire: <> indicates a language other than English, typically Japanese in this case. ## indicates #transduced communication or communication that is otherwise silent to those not properly equipped hear it#.

$This will indicate a matrix/drone command or, when paired with quotation marks, communication over the matrix.

~J

I was wondering about that... had surmised it to be Japanese... I tend to color code my linguistics... but I'll be stealing that... not that I'll have much call for the rest, as Billy doesn't do much over the 'trix...

Megatokyo did the <> thing, and it's been very useful for text RPGs. Almost everyone gets that I'm speaking in some other language almost instantly.

What kind of load out are carrying? I'm assuming "meet gear."

I'm wearing visible FFBA under shorts and a t-shirt, and carrying a pocket secretary. That's all I've got with me, IIRC.

The rest of my gear is in a security vehicle bay or an attached room; I'll need to coordinate with Ronin Soul what floor that's on.

~J

Uh...my character's got his securetech clothing, form-fitting shirt, and securetech long coat on, with his sword hanging quite noticeably by his side, an his throwing knives in his sleeves. His Ares Predator III is concealed in his jacket, along with his cyberdeck, his thermographic/low-light sunglasses are on, and the rest of his stuff is with his bike in the vehicle bay. Yeah...

Blaze is wearing FFBA, but concealed underneath his tres chic casual clothes. He's got a Manhunter just tucked under his belt in the back of his jeans, and is wearing his wraparound HUD shades. Otherwise, his two shotguns and other suit of armor are wherever his room is. I'll be posting after I eat, handwrote an intro bit, need to type it.

Sorry about the lack of quick replies. As I said, my internet access at the moment could be best summed up as unreliable.
I'll make sure to update, but just remember it might take a couple of days!
