Nikolai stays quiet.

Better to hear him talk then ask questions later so Frank gives a shake of the head and keep his cake hole shut.

Just to be absolutely clear, once you continue, we're on the hook, correct Sensei?

Assuming he says yes, Leland will respond with:

OK then, please continue then Sensei.

Chopper just shrugs.

Jon seems very interested in the swords, and without taking his eyes from them

He seems to have totally missed what was said about the pay

Chopper also notices the swords.

Chopper wrote:Sweet. How much did these bad boys set you back, and where can I get some?

See, this is what happens when the NPC stays quiet for too long. Chopper starts talking.

Chopper wrote:C'mon dude-san, it was just a question. Don't give me the silent treatment over it - that's just cold!

Frank wrote:Chopper! Stow it or we'll get kicked out on our asses or shot to shit for breaking some yakuza code of honour or something.

He mentioned a lot of money, I want my share of that lot of money. Just park your ass and listen to what bonsai sensai here has to say! You can ask him about the pig stickers later.

Hey! Cut it out, all of you. Stop being so rude and left him continue with the pitch.

Sensei Kitsune pauses his calligraphy for a second whilst you bicker.

If there are no further questions, I shall continue. The job is what your type refer to as an "extraction". There is an individual who we require rescuing from their current position. Understand that they are unlikely to be cooperative. Also understand that we have very little information on them. We have their SIN, and related files, but they are almost certainly living under an assumed name with counterfeit documentation. Your task will be to locate the individual, and relocate them to the Seattle docks. There they will be picked up by my people, and transported to safety. The only condition to this job is that no harm may come to the individual you are locating. Any harm done to them will be returned tenfold on your own heads. I am not personally a violent individual, but if harm comes to them, I will personally feast on your still warm hearts.

He stops for a second.

I apologise. I allowed myself to get "worked up", so to speak. My aide will provide you with what information we have, along with your first payment. Any further questions?

Do you know if this individual has any bodyguards?

N-zo whispers to Leland wrote:What part of 'His aide will give what info they have', did you miss? Just wait a moment

Chopper whispers to the others wrote:Psst, ask him to define "no harm". I mean can we knock the target out? I always find that generally helps with unwilling rescuees.

And don't forget to barter this time!

As Pants is away until Wednesday (I think) is there anyone else who can do the necessary talky stuff?

I have good Negotiation skills, but that's about it. What makes me very suspicious is that 160000nuyen is a very very large sum of money. I think I should push this angle.

Yes/no?

I think choppers question (with a bit more refinement), and an increase thats easier to split 7 ways, and there is always room on top of the first offer.

Or we could ask Joose to put Dogpants on autopilot for the questions we have. The Yakuza would know that he is the 'face' and that negotiations are his realm.
