O.K. I know you guys have been waiting an eternity for this and I thank you for your patience. Having said that let’s get started…
What I would like to see next is a “first impressions” post in the IC. Below you will find contact material I would like to see incorporated, as you see fit, into the post. It is not necessary to copy verbatim what I have written. Feel free to change semantics but not information given. Give us a glimpse into your character’s life, a description of what we will see when we see your character, and of course, tie in your contact material.
To keep things orderly, at least until I get my dumpshock legs, I will handle actions in order of post (exceptions excluded). Remember your guidelines, post regularly, and have fun.

Fat Charlie contacts you around 1900.
In sloppy Sperethiel “Ah tanna U laestho fuatha … Oh, sorry old boy I forgot to whom I was speaking. An acquaintance of mine, solid fellow, contacted me about a job. Naturally, I thought of you. Do be a chap and be on time, he’s a rather sensitive fellow. DeClerry’s, 15th Ave. and 38th St. Seems he’s looking for some bodyguards for a couple of days. The compensation is rather generous as well. Ask for Tamburo at the bar. Take care of yourself, I have need of you when you are done.”

Shirley contacts you at 1900.
“Hey doll, how’s things? I’m good, Tony and I split up, the cheat’ in bastid! I shoulda listened. Anyway, I got a job if your interested. This guys connected so stay on your toes. It’s a small job for a big fish; bodyguard work for three days; escort the mark to a meet and return him to the safe house and your done. Johnson is paying very well, he’s already got a safe house set up and, to sweeten the pot stocked it with real food. Yeah, you heard me. I almost took the job myself girl! You have to at least go and listen. It’s good to know “people” who know other “people.” You get a good rep in those circles and you could be set. But, like I said, watch yourself and keep the contract clear. Oh, I got another call, gotta go. Shi… “ click. Five minutes later you get a text message Names Tamburo

A call comes in around 1800. The screen shows a beach at sundown.
“Prive't, Kak de'la comrade ? How have you been? Are you thirsty? Matchstick has two for one shots”
Matchsticks is where the “cool” go to hang out. A smoky place with some light jazz playing in the background. The bar is mostly empty, a few early birds at the bar, some roadies sitting at a table near the double doors to the back room, and Rook sitting in a corner booth reading, of all things, a newspaper. He sees you across the room and waves you over.
“Os, I have some work for you. The job isn’t the important thing. It is who the job is for that is important. Do you know who Ambrosi Tambor is? Let us say that he is “connected” to power and privilege. He needs some reliable help to sit on a mark and some merchandise. He called me and I called you. Three days in a safe house, escort the mark to a meet and back and get paid; well paid. No problems right?” he smiles like the shark that he is. “Declerry’s on 38th street. Do this an we may go far in this biz. Oh, do you like your steak rare?
I have posted for everyone I have a fleshed contact list for. If I do not receive lists from the rest of the group by 0000 on the 28th, I will flesh them out myself and post contact material for you here.
Let's play...
