Okay, here goes.

Roll(2d10)+0:
6,2,+0
Total:8

Not sure of my STREETWISE SKILLZ, could you add them to the total plox?

FJ edit for quote and colour

do you not have your character sheet? lol

I'll ask a random vendorperson about KT hangouts as well as do my own streetwise roll.

Hey there man, I might have a line on some stuff that KT might be interested in, do you know where I could find any one representin' around here?

Streetwise: 5,5 + 3 = 13

Grimmie: You've no social skills at all so the best you can do is roll agains persuade with a -3 modifier for being unskilled. That gives you a score of 9, which does cock all. However, he's no intention of concealing that information so he tells you that they were here about ten minutes ago.

Tezz: Your streetwise skill is 7, so a total of 15. You know quite a bit about Krosstown Traffic (KT) regardles of it with a skill of 7.

KT are the third biggest gang on Mort, and consist of a large collection of biker gangs led by an elusive character by the name of Hurrell. The stereotype is of big beardy bikers in leather riding chrome hogs, but in reality they also incorporate Orientan style Bosuzoku gangs, and sports bike gangs in racing leathers.

The locals around here, from what you can see, are members of The Spectres, and they fall firmly into the Bosuzoku category.

Oh, also, you only need to use quotes if your character is speaking.

Yeah, think of them as speech bubbles.

I'm awesome, I am.

You reclusive, video game playing shit, Grimmie!

Dirk wrote: 10 minutes ago eh? Any idea where they were heading? We need to catch up with them as soon as we can.

Also, whilst we're here, I don't suppose you're friendly with anyone from the KT? Don't worry, we're not looking to bust heads or anything, in fact we're actually looking to propose something that would be mutually beneficial.

Persuasion roll:

9,4,+4 = 17

Stan wrote: They headed off that way, asking about Mamma Krutch. Heh, good luck with that. As for the KT, it's The Spectres round here. You'll probably not get so much as a word out of the arrogant bastards, but you wanna try then check out the Neon Hook over by the Crawford Mall.

Dirk wrote:Cheers my man.

Spindle, reckon you can head over to the Neon Hook and do your thing? Schmooze some of the KT over there and get a feel for how bad they'd want to help someone knock off Mama's Boys.

Right, if we finally catch up to these other two Ops we'll probably need one either you [gestures to Grimmie] or Deej to make an impression first. If I know Brain Wasters, and trust me I wish I didn't, they probably won't take to me. Frothers I can work with, but Wasters are volatile little sods.

Wasters don't bother me at all. They're vulnerable to lead and steel like the rest of us.

I'm getting bored. Someone make a detect roll.

are we just trading water right now?

Detect: 4,7 + 3 = 14

Well, I'm waiting on you and Grimmie to go looking for the other Ops or Tezz to go looking for KT.

In the meantime you didn't notice what just happened.

I'll off after the other ops then. I'll make a tracking roll, looking for signs of SLA armor type things as tracking normal people in this bazaar is rather difficult.

Tracking: 3,7 + 7= 17

In this case it's probably more like watching people and their demeanour to see where they might have been recently. Either way, you reckon you know where they went and not very much walking confirms your suspicions as you see a pair of Ops consulting a trader. One Brain Waster and one Frother.

The Waster is leaning over the stall towards the trader

As he talks he stubs out a ciggy on some of the traders goods, and pulls out another almost immediately. As he lights it up, he blows out the smoke into the traders face.

I'm obviously trying to be intimidating, so here's his roll:

Intimidate: 8,5 + 6 = 19

Toast is tallish, even for a waster, and more wiry than bulky. He has typical big waster hair, which is a complete mess of split ends and all manner of different lengths. His face has a passing resemblance to Jack Nicholson, with the arched eyebrows and huge, slightly sinister grin. All he has on other than the Deathsuit is an old leather jacket that's covered in holes and burn marks. Its tatty as hell. In stark contrast to that is the Deathsuit itself, which is practically gleaming. Something that looks slightly out of place is a suspiciously familiar looking Fedora perched on his head at a jaunty angle.

Stallholder wrote:Umm, look. I don't ask no questions as to where this stuff comes from, and I don't ask nothin' about who supplies it. Them kids coulda been anyone, don't hafta be Mamma's Boys. Shit.

He looks extremely nervous, his eyes flicking between you, the Frother, and various people in the crowd.

He leans further in. He holds the cig in his teeth, and hisses out between them:

Toast wrote:Speculate

The end of the cig wobbles just in front of the other guys face

I don't suppose he has a TV does he...

I'll just stand nearby and watch the proceedings.

The trader starts to back away.

Stallholder wrote:Fuck! Look, I ain't sayin' they were and I ain't sayin they weren't, but you might wanna ask that kid over there...

The last bit is nervously whispered, and he nervously gestures toward a dirty looking child who appears to be trying to carefully pry a weapon from the maghold of a nearby armoured Wraith Raider.

Toast exhales smoke into the guys face.

Toast wrote:Ahhhhhhh, why you have to get all cooperative? Shit.

He then stalks off towards the kid. If he gets there before anyone else does anything, he's just going to loom until the kid notices.
