I'm going on a vacation tomorow and won't be back till next saturday, so I won't be able to post much next week.

Ok, I've skipped straight ahead to the funeral. If someone was going to post something else before it, please do so, I was just setting the stage for the rest.

Panzergeist: no problem. I don't know if I'll be able to post much this week either. Lots of things happenning in the next few days.

Oh, just in case you're wondering: Yes, it seems Navarro's family was from south of the Rio Grande.

Well, the blonde seems likely to be a girlfriend. Since Navarro is Hispanic, his blood relatives would most likely have black hair. Of course, in the future, ethnic intermarriage is probably very common, so she could be a daughter or niece. Or even a stepdaughter.

In the seven years that I've known Professor Navarro, has he mentioned any of these other people?

Navarro did mention Vicky Rivers in the past few weeks. Seems he was helping her with some legal issues or something. Blame liquor for not remembering more about it.

The professor was also something of a religious man, although you never knew much about his spirituality. Navarro never mixed that with his law classes.

You have abso-fragging-lutely no idea as to who's the big guy, but that could change in the next few posts.

Panzergeist's right about the fat suit.

@ Wailer: Now that I'm reading your file again, I don't see any contacts listed. Is she one of them? (oh, and please send me the list)

Dear Lord, did McBachus bring a date to the funeral? This has great comedic potential.

@ JongWK: Had the contact list attatched to the same email that I sent my character with, with basic contact info. I'll send it again, with addt'l info

@ Panzergeist: She's just a friend, there for emotional support ... really ...



(*grin*)

Jong? Anyone?

I wanted to give the others a chance to post before I did again, but got tired of waiting ;P We can keep it rolling with Acton and Hank 'Mcbacchus' until the others get back online, Panzergeist.

Also, JongWK - What kind of rating are you shooting for on 'Not another Teen Runner?' (*grin*) Does the script call for 'the Drek hitting the fan'? Or will the shit be hitting it?

My apologies for the delay.

Wailer, I've seen that PbP games can take a long time, so I'm trying a rather simple adventure. Yes, there will be drek flying through the thread, give or take a few scenes.

Jong, I think you missed a post of mine....

He didn't miss it. They are just ignoring you.

(*grin*) I wasn't being impatient I was asking if you wanted to stick with the Shadowrun 'Cussing System', or if RL swearing was kosher? This also goes out to everyone else, since I don't know the general age range or sensitivity factor.

Wailer

Oops!

Shadow, I completely missed it, sorry. I'll address it ASAP.

Don't listen to Panzergeist


@ Wailer: I like to use the SR style, but there's no problem if you use something else.

*BLAM-BLAM-BLAM!*

There, a three rounds burst of post. ;)

Oh, anyone seen Digital Heroin/Angel?

The spoiler tag is for those of you who know Spanish or find a way to understand it.

@ Phelious: What's Dan's last name?

Um.. good question... Smith... Yeah Daniel Smith..

Back from the dead.

Ok guys, you have about two hours at the University before Navarro's Will is read.

Tsimshian, eh? That clinches it; it's almost certainly pollution. It's bad enough that they are dumping shit in the water, but they are also doing it right offshore from Seattle to kill our fish and ruin our scuba diving. Bastards!

@ Wailer: Got your contacts' mail, dated March 18. Is that the one you were talking about?

@ Digital Heroin: Judging by your post, I assume you're skipping the Will?

@ JongWK: Roger that

Ok, so who's going to the funeral, then?

You mean will reading right?

I am, Acton and Daniel are...

Errr... crap... nope, not skipping the will... she'll do the messaging and such at a friend's dorm instead of commuting home... *nod*

Uh, yes, Will reading! Messed up with that Funeral reference.

Ok, so you're all going? Good.

Perception check (TN 6) for those present. Check the spoiler tag if you succeed.

3 successes. So, she doesn't hate regular metas? Guess that makes her pretty liberal for this day and age.

Ok, I'm back. My sincere apologies for the delay in posting. Life has been pretty interesting lately.

@ Panzergeist: Yes, it seem metavariants and SURGE aren't her type.

Just in case: Only Daniel had the professor as a level 2 contact, right?

My mind is blank right now; can't remember when dia de los muertos is. And what is the date as of the will reading?

Día de Muertos is November 1 and 2 (All Saints Day). It's still a few months away, probably because it has to do with the second run (hint)

So, we're letting this die a slow death?

Well it looked like Phelious (Daniel) was the main character so I was just sorta following his lead. But he hasn't posted in a while... I will post something today and try and get it back on track.

Pretty much the same that I was thinking. I'm still ready to rock, as well.

Phew!

As to Daniel, I named him in the Will because a) I needed someone to get the house and b) he had paid for Navarro as buddy so I figured he could be it. No real favoritism. *scraps Daniel's new mech*

I could use some direction here then Jong. What should we be doing, or what direction should we be going?

Well, you could:

-Talk to people (choose)
-Visit Navarro's/the park/the piers/other
-Have a frat party

If you need, I can be more specific.

The most productive thing to do right now would probably be to comb Navarro's house for clues as to what he was on to before he got whacked. We should also see if he had other friends among the faculty whom he might have told something. And of course, interview the people from his funeral. As for me, I will be trying to track down that ship. If I get something concrete enough, I may be able to convince the harbor patrol to "randomly" search it next time it comes to Seattle.

While he's doing that, I'll take care of the difficult part - The Frat Party!

Are any of your characters magically active?

Some are. Check the first posts.

So who's going to resume posting in the IC thread?

Jessie's not.

Ah yes, Angel is a gecko shaman. Do I know that in character? Also, does she have aura reading? I am thinking that Jessica could help Daniel search the house, while McBachus interviews the school faculty, and Angel assenses them for lies, since it's been made painfully obvious that most of them didn't like him as much as we did. Acton, of course, would look up that ship.

People?

Still here, but waiting for you guys to post. I'm about to PM Daniel's player to remind him we're alive.

Heroin seems to have abandoned the board. Phogg definately has. Shadow is still here. Don't know about Wailer.
