Spare me some dignity, at least And no, I didn't get into trouble: but this is a no-talk zone; so laughing is sort of implicit. Still grinning though -- and thanks: I seriously needed that!

Oh, Bastard, I liked the dropped-in Quik-E Mart Just hadn't had a chance yet to write it in IC.

Sedna - Yah I noticed that too.

Bastard -- we've gotten into positions such that we can get the general external layout and visible security of the building, as well as hopefully in-out patterns (loading docks? shifts? security/warehouse workers/clerical/other?), as much as are visible from outside. If necessary, we'll split up to cover different lines of sight (we've got potentially three "people" to cover), but still staying outside. Kai's looking at this especially from the perspective of how a person could get into the place and out again.

I assumed so, but figured you would move around more after a bump post from me. Last, of course I could have missed something, you were sitting together on a roof near a vent for heat. Dont worry you have all night. I will use my Paint Shop expertise to draw you a sorry ass representation (complete with stick figure squatters) later this week.

We're moving, we're moving! It's Kai, after all!

I will post something tomorrow about Glide's movements.

I'll follow your lead here, Slipshade.

Sedna,

Go ahead and post, I am a bit busy with LiTS today and that will likely take up my lunch hour. I was just going to suggest that Pike conceal Kai and have him move around with the added stealth to get a better view. Pike may be able to get Kai a lot closer than I would be able to get. Glide is not the most stealthy of people.

Sorry I would update myself but I have a number of things I need to take care of today, though if you want to leave it until tomorrow and then I will definately post.

Slip

I'd best leave it till tomorrow then, since it's Kai's first job of this nature, and we probably don't want him falling through any more roofs.

Japanese, obviously: "Shit and die, addlepated loafer."

I don't want to sidetrack, so I'm being guided by you guys: someone asks, I'll answer ... but we're not losing sight of the current task and The Job. So by all means do interrupt as needed!

Yah, more idle chit chat than anything else, if you think it will affect our ability to watch the location, then Glide will clam up.

"You" here meaning our intrepid GM

Me, I don't see any issues with idle chit chat -- and know far too much about Kai for such chit chat ever to be exhausted -- but we're a group of players, not one; and I'm automatically leery of anything that could monopolise/sidetrack.

Sorry I ment the GM not you Sedna.

The chit chat is interesting and gives me time to think.
Just take Steve’s silence as still trying to adjust to the changes.

Sorry...didnt get to making a map this weekend...busy putting up drywall and insulation.

So Glide is still on the roof with Liddy, and Kai is sneaking around?

Actually Glide is on the roof with Pike, and Kai is sneaking around.

Trust me, you don't want Glide to sneak around.

What Slipshade said and there's lots more chitchat to be had, if there's curiosity and time that asks to be filled. (In this particular case, the practical difference is that Liddy was Force 3, and Pike is Force 4.)

Posting is going to be slow for me for a bit. Work being busy, but I will chit chat as much as I can.

Slip

Same here Slip, all 12 hour days next few weeks, and my weekends have been filled with home improvement projects and helping my friend build on an extra room. *Joy*

I will try to make quick posts from work if I get the sham job o'mine




How close is Kai getting? He is walking around the entire estate correct?

How do I set up a web page so I can give you the sorry ass map?

Im am computer unsavvy

Do you have a map picture/file? If you have a scanned picture, you can e-mail it to me, and I'll temp-web it (see LitS addresses). If you don't have anything yet, you have three major options:

• Draw something and scan it (I can deal with webbing if necessary)
• Use the [ CODE ] function here to try to get an ACSII-type layout similar to what's midway down this page
• The grendel option: find something that's similar to what you want that's already on-line

If you do go for the scan, try for either a jpg or gif format. Bitmaps are death on space and loading.

I drew it using my sorry ass art skills on paint shop.

Toss me the file then (litsproject@yahoo.com)

ok...it is away

Sedna-need Stealth and Perception rolls for Kai

Have the e-mail and attachment, but on the wrong computer to upload it instantly. Asked a friend for something faster -- if no luck, then I'll post a link in eight hours.

Requested rolls:
Stealth: 5, 5, 2
Perception: 10, 8, 2, 1

Friend came through
Link

my picture was bigger....i dont know why it shrank so much...ill have a post up tonight and tomorrow morning, dont have to be to work until noon tomorrow.

Can I get a perception check for Glide as well

Bastard - I am changing jobs and pulled all of my character info off of this computer. I think Glide's Int is 3, but could you verify that for me?

Anything to come of Seta trying to contact Xion for info about gangs in the area of the warehouse?

Any further rolls needed, Bastard?

I just need Bastard to verify my Perception Roll then I can give it to him. I am in the middle of a job change and I don't have my character sheet available.

Bastard, could you PM me the sheet?

Slip

Sorry everyone- Computer down, again. I was loading updates when the cat decided to unplug the computer-cause he is a bastard. I am now reformatting the computer, again,but this time I have all my drivers. However, I have been working long hours, so I havent made the time. Hopefully I will be up Sunday night, and will catch up Monday.



For now, no rolls needed except some ett from DH. Did you make an IC post for the contact yet?



Wilco Slip.

Perception Roll: 05, 04, 02

DH-still need an ett roll

Sedna-another perception roll and stealth roll


Sorry if it is going slow everyone, do you have any suggestions for me to speed it up? First time gm-ing on forums, so if I am missing something, just virtual slap me in the back of the head.

Stealth: 5, 5, 4
Perception: 11, 3, 1, 1

(consistent!)

I will post IC when I get home from work tonight around 1030 pac time

I guess I will bump the game...can I get a role call?

Still here, still wondering if Kai's managed to manoeuvre close enough to determine if these streeters are really streeters or not.

Still here.

On the slow question, I don't think it's anything you've done wrong... it's just that most of the team is waiting on the two members on the first watch. Shadowruns can be like that sometimes - the muscle is sitting there while the face schmoozes the Johnson, or the decker is huddling behind cover while the sammies and security guards blaze away at each other. And we can always have our characters talk, or go to a nightclub, or meet with a friend or contact, etc. Usually I'm a bit better at those kind of posts, where I just have my character do something, but my creative juices were in a bit of a dry spell for a while.

New job is going to keep me busy for a while. Looks like you may have to go without Glide. Sorry. Finding very little time to post.

Shall I NPC cover for you, Slipshade, as we did earlier? That would leave you the option to step in again, once work situation eases up.

I have not seen DH around the forums since the Canadian navy was put on alert post Katrina. Some of the ships are already on their way south. He might not have had much warning prior to shipping out, this time.

Go ahead Sedna. I'll let you know if things let up. I won't know for another 2 weeks though.

Slip

At that rate it seems you'll be far ahead of me, Slipshade, considering I'm only just getting free (again, again) ...? Sorry, all: posting now.

I'd be willing to start up again with this one. Viper was one of the more fun characters I've played, and I've still got her on my hard drive.
