Damn! I always forget the +3 for Observe in Detail.

Hey, I nearly forgot it. And my PC's built around Perception.

There's a lot of stuff I explain after the fact.

No problem. I got a ton of Perception dice. But if it takes 39 dice to get the same sort of effect in combat, then I'm totally outclassed.

It looks like at this point we'll be taking a short break in the action until Doc gets back. Please no posting IC until he's able to participate. If you have questions about the circumstances, PM him or me.

Sorry for holding the game up.

Why? Wouldn't be the same without you.

Fisty, could we get on with the game? Or are we waiting for someone else?

Most certainly. Will be posting this afternoon. Sorry for the wait, and thanks for your patience everyone.

I ain't worried. Just don't take anything personally.

Me? Never.

I love this game. Best. Meet . Ever.

New SR Quote: " It's not a shadowrun until the satyr leaps on the banquet table and kills a fly with a dinner plate."

Methinks the GM needs to read up on Universal Nantidotes.

Oh Jesus, is this gonna be one of those "I'm immune to alcohol" things? This is me, rolling my eyes at you.

Hmmmm. Not sure I deserve eye rolling.

How is that any different than the Detox Spell? Or any of the other things in the game that have a similar effect?

The good thing about having them in a Hive though, is that if you want to be affected by the alcohol, then you can be, and then when you don't want to be, you aren't. Much like the aforementioned Detox spell.

Hey, Fisty, are you allowing complimentary skills now?

I thought they went out with SR3?

A suggestion for how to use 'Complimentary Skills' can be found in (I believe) the surgery section of Augmentation.

Big black box right near the beginning of the Advanced Medtech chapter.

Fir those observing,, the only observation devices you see are the hotel se ccams, most of which are trained on your group.

Am I the only one who has a problem with the re-appearance of Sam? I mean, she left the initial meeting only to show up again, wave her hand and say "Hey boys, here I am"?
I don't think Charlie's gonna work with her if she comes up with a good reason for her actions.

Personally, I don't like this "I'm the coolest runner in the world and all you ever get from me are either bullets in the head or cryptic answers."

We did get a message from the Johnson.

No. Cloud is ok. What the Johnson wants the Johnson gets. Everyone got a message from the J telling us that Sam is in, he is fine with that. He might be suspect the message is a fake but he acknowledges that he is no great shakes in the Matrix.

I would still prefer to hear it from herself.

The team is supposed to be professionals who gonna work together on a not so easy run. A little trust would be cool.

Hmmmm ...

Whatever!

Ooh, you done been served.

*does the charleston*

Unless I miss my date, it's Doc's birthday today folks.

Doc, you have a choice between birthday Karma or an OH SHIT! card.

I'll take a "self-loathing card" and turn it in for a "erase all mention of that, please" favor.

Well, if that's the case, Happy Birthday wishes from me and my wallpaper.

Edit: Too late for your wish to come true, but you didn't mean it anyway.

Happy Birthday Doc!!!

BTW Doc, I got that Professor reference, you can't slip that one by me.....I am in a cast that is shadowcasting the movie made off it right now. That game is fresh in my mind.

What time is it in Miami as we are talking on the beach now?

I think I'm going to back out of this game. I asked nicely to have the above removed, and now one of the little pricks here is using it as an insult. I play the game to have fun, not to tolerate that kind of shit. My apologies. Do as you will with my character until a replacement can be found... or whatever.

Doc, there's no need for you to back out.

Doc I'd rather you take a day or so to reconsider. But obviously I can't force you to stay in. I'd prefer everyone set aside their differences and move on.

In answer to toturi's first question, it would be appx 2 pm.

If everyone is satisfied with their plans for action, I would like to move forward from here. If you're not, please post what you're going to do, or work things out.

Toby wants to talk to Rita Abbott at the Crystal before going anywhere.

What's up with Doc?

Yeah, what's up with him?

Guess Sam and Charlie will ask around their Miami-contacts (damn ,still have to post Charlie's background and stuff) to get the stuff they're supposed to get.

Fortune - Go ahead and post the contact IC.

Grinder, move for contacts . Just make sure you both post appropriately ( ie - 'hey guys I gotta make some calls' or whatever).

As far as Doc goes, well you pretty much know what I know . I'm still waiting to hear for sure from him one way or the other.

Will do ... in a while.

I'll have Toby take Scratch with him, as originally planned.

Grinder I expect you'll be posting something slightly more helpful in regards to waht you're doing than "contacts a contact: soon yes?
