I really don't know what possessed me to make that topic description, but it amused me so I did. Anyways, feel free to start your speculation, communication, and ruination here.

Are you approaching this as if the runners have never met eachother?

Yes, unestablished team brought together for this specific task.

Would you like basic char descriptions and obvious abilities now or rather wait for when we actualy meet?

Wait till they meet.

My apologies for the mediocre starting point, but it's been almost a year since I've run a game. Quality should go up significantly when we get to the parts I've planned out.

Its fine, its enough to tell us where to start.
Do you want everything ooc here? or would you like combat info and dice rolls and such to be placed with the relevant post in spoiler tags?
Will you be rolling or do we?
Hemlok
Nov 14 2004, 12:15 AM
IC combat posts should have a corresponding OOC post detailing all pertinent info. You'll roll for all your actions.

Notes:
Aswolf's currently wearing his FFBA, pair of boots, jeans, a longsleeve shirt and that cheap, 1960's looking, jacket. His bracer is under the shirt on his right arm but if someone looked could probably see a small buldge.

A quick list of Wildcard's current equipment list:
[ Spoiler ]
He's driving a Eurocar Westwind 2000, modified with a Datajack Port, Rating 6 Anti-theft system, Photovoltaic Chameleon Paint, and Morphing License Plate, and Infared Smoke Launchers.
Currently loaded into the 1000Mp optical chip DNI linked from his had are the following rating 6 active softs: Demolitions, Biotec, Drive Car, Athletics, Electronics B/R, Computer B/R, Ettiquette. He also has Bargaining (specialization of Negotiations) 5.
In his bag are an electronics toolkit, rating 6 Medkit, Thermographic Binoculars, Rating 6 Keypad Sequencer, Flash Pack, and an Ares Alpha with Gas Vent IV, Shock Pads, Personalized Grip, Rangefinder, and Grenade Link, currently loaded with 8 Offensive High Explosive Minigrenades and a clip of 42 regular rounds. Spare ammo in the bag is 3 clips of 42 Regular Rounds, and one clip of 42 Ex Explosive Rounds. In his belt, on the small of his back, is a Weapons World Infiltrator with Internal Smartlink 2, loaded with 15 standard rounds.
In his pants pockets are 3 more clips of 15 regular rounds for the infiltrator, as well as a currently detached silencer. In his jacket pocket is his Pocket Secretary.
He's wearing a Form Fitting Full Body Suit with the hood tucked under his other clothes, a secure Ultra Vest under a a standard synthetic jacket, and a Secure Long Coat, plus black cargo pants and black work boots. He's also got a subvocal microphone on his neck and a micro transciever taped to his back.
If he doesn't get through to Network, he'll assume something bad is going on, and drive up to the club with his rifle out of the bag, next to his right leg below his seat (similar to how cops keep their shotgun, but slightly lower down). If Network responds, he'll ask what's going on there and behave accordingly.

Angels comment about Winter Nights, is this in reference to something I should know, or something I might know?
Hemlok
Nov 16 2004, 01:11 PM
It's a fairly major Norse holiday from my understanding so I'd assume you'd know about it.
Tashio
Nov 16 2004, 05:18 PM
*chuckle* time to do some reading up.. I spent more time reading their rune and general god/godess info have not seen much on the holidays.
Oh yea quick question. In the begining when you started recruiting you mentioned small karma award might be issued based on background, that gonna happen or decided against it?
General Nordic/Asatru Info for those who are interested.
[ Spoiler ]
Usefull Norse Info Nordic/Asatru BasicsOne thing that is interesting is SR lists Odin/Wodan as the SkyFather though some other records say Tyr is or was the Skyfather prior to Odin.
Odin- The Allfather of the Aesir, God of Royalty, Battle, Wisdom, Runes, & Death. Husband of Frigg.
Tyr- The Skyfather. Sacrificed his arm to bind Fenrir. God of Justice, Loyalty, Sky, and War.
Winter Nights October 31Winter Nights or Vetrnætr marked the beginning of winter as well as the beginning of the New Year, according to the Norse calendar. The Celtic people called this night Samhain eve, a mid-autumn festival. Like the Celtic counterpart, the people used to celebrate this night by lighting large bonfires to frightened spirits and demons, because on this night they freely roamed the world. It is also on this night that Odin was supposed to lead the spectral horsemen and hounds in the Wild Hunt. The Wild Hunt lasted throughout winter, peaking at Yule's night before ending the following year on May Eve (Walpurgis' Night).
The last night of October is celebrated by some modern English-speaking countries as Halloween (All Hallows' Eve), which is the eve of the Christian All Saints' Day, where children dressed in costumes, going from door to door in the neighbourhood, demanding trick or treat. The treat that was usually given were candy.

I sent an e-mail to the guy that got it, but I never got a reply back so I don't know if he received it. I'd all but forgotten about it after the day I posted who was in, till you just mentioned it. winner of an almighty three karma was DH. Honorable mention should go to Jaron though.

I think I've tied up all the loose ends aside from Patch who seems to be MIA. Go ahead and post anything else you want to and then show up at the motel.

What time is it in game when Wildcard gets the information from Network?

Let's say somewhere around 18:30.

There we go.
Wildcard is of course slotting Drive Car on his way to the hotel, and he switches to Ettiquette when talking to the man.
[ Spoiler ]
Ettiquette roll to get the guy to go for the deal, plus three pool dice: 13 9 7 5 3 2 1 1 1
Complimentary Psychology: 17 7 4 3 2 1
He's offering the man the cost of a stay in the hotel plus 30Y for tomorrow, on the condition that the guy has to stay in room 69 of the Coffin Motel on 17th and MacCarther, and that if anyone bothers him, he should tell them to call a phone number (which is Wildcard's of course). If it's more appropriate than ettiquete, he could be using Negociations (Bargaining), though I've always thought ettiquette would be more appropriate here. If a seperate roll for the price is needed, here it is.
Negociations (Bargaining): 20 5 4 3 2 (No CED because Ettiquette is still being used)
Complimentary Psychology: 9 8 7 5 4 1
He's offering to buy the room now, but pay the rest after that night.
JaronK
Nov 23 2004, 03:07 AM
Okay, to move this along, I'm going to assume Wildcard has successfully convinced the homeless guy to take the room (since I rolled pretty darn well). I'll make an in character post accordingly. If you decide it wouldn't work, I'll edit.

Digital Heroin will be leaving us for 12 days as of Monday and I'll be NPCing him until DH returns. Yes, what I said in the blurb about Boom-boom was a poor joke. I'd like to get everyone in the motel and ready for whatever comes their way Monday evening. I'll try to get one more post in before I start things moving in their to tie up any loose ends that you guys might want to address.

Archer asked if the room address and room number was for the girl, and for more details from Veronica.
He can go in without info, he's good on his feet and all, but it's dangerous to do it that way...

I'm not entirely sure what Wildcard's going to do after giving the bum the key so I'm going to fill in your part after you give a bit more to go on. If you plan on staying in the other room you rented, just nevermind the "except Wildcard," part.

Heh, looks like Wildcard's bet may not have worked out so well. Oh well. He doesn't know his past so he'd suspect an enemy out to get him... you have to admit the coffin hotel thing sounded kinda like a set up. Now to figure out a way to get him back in the story...
