I'll meet you all back at Frank's - I'm gonna get some cheap whores over.

Nik' will bounce his medical seat up and down a couple times, as if trying to coax N-Zo to sit down.
Whether or not he takes the bait, I'll shuffle it back into the van and haul it inside.

I'll cast a Sterilize horse 3 (DV: 3) in Nik's van to get rid of the traces of Xa inside.

Magic (6) + Spellcasting (6): 1, 5, 5, 4, 1, 2, 6, 5, 5, 5, 2, 5: 7 hits.
Logic (5) + Willpower (4): 6, 1, 4, 6, 5, 3, 6, 5, 2: 5 hits, no drain.

Frank wrote:Good luck with that Chopper, you'll make it into mine just fine. But unless you like fucking hookers with more than the usual amount of big holes you'd better not take them near the security drones y'dig.

Frank will follow the drone into the back of the truck after N-zo concludes his business with the meatman.

I'll make my way back and meet up. I'll probably not have time for a shower, so I won't bother getting changed.

I'll give Al a lift to his limo then head to the meet.

Vroooooooom vrooom. Off we go to see the angry lady.

I'll fast forward to everyone arriving at Ticklers then.

Dae is waiting at the back-door again, and waves you back in to the same room as before. She doesn't say a word until everyone who is going in gets in the room.

Oh, btw, this is Dae:

Oh dear.. Anyone remember what happened?

Post by **Dog Pants** » January 27th, 2010, 7:30

We won, and got loads of money.

Basically this, actually. My cache fails me, but I think I can remember the basic points.

I'll put it together later, when im less "only just got up".

Righto, brief catch up from yesterday.

You told dae everything that happened (ish).
She was happy with your report, seemed to know of Caine already, but was surprised about the yaks.
She paid the agreed fee (5k each I think) plus 10k for dealing with xa and 10 for doing the job nice and quiet.
She thanked you, let you know she would recommend you and implied that you would be contacted for more work.
She then left.

I think that's everything. Run over, I'll work out karma and feedback later, all that's left is you guys splitting the fee. Fight!

Take peoples' expenses out of the 20k and split it?

Fine by me.

The Shutting Downs · Post by **The Shutting Downs** » January 27th, 2010, 15:50

seems like a plan here

for the 20k it works at 3k each with 2k left for expenses (which I don't beleive were much were they?) and we can start a rolling slush fund with it all.

Waa daa faa! I pass out on jack and codeine for a night and suddenly its all over!

Can anyone tell me what we told her with any more accuracy than

thanks plz.

Post by **Joose** » January 27th, 2010, 18:19

Not much more accuracy, but I seem to remember that you let her know Xa had been taken care of, that Alec had been trading goods with a guy called Caine and his gang, the Ragers, and that Alec had some yakuza following him. She seemed happy with that.

Right, Karma has been worked out. You all got 7 each for not dying + completing individual bits of the mission, and a further 3 for either:

Better than average roleplaying (such as Grimmies use of actual proper russian)
Pushing the story forward (a few of you managed this)
Good use of your characters skillzors. (Al's excellent Face work early in the game, lelands astral scouting, Niks sneaky drones.)
Being funny/dramatic

So, 10 each, total. Although for different things. If you want your personal break down of points, feel free to ask, but I think it might be a bit weird posting them for all to see.

Feedback from me: That was pretty well done. You managed things reasonably quietly, picked up on stuff without having to be outright told what's happening and generally did a good job. The only possible criticism is that you maybe overcomplicated things a little on the stakeout: setting up a safe house and cover stories is great, but you probably could have got by without them. But that really is clutching at straws for something to say, its always better to be over-prepared than under.

You are still a little disorganised, but that didn't hold you back any. Each of you is starting to get the hang of your role in the group, so you are just getting on with what needs to be done. You might find later on that this starts to work less though, as things will need to be a bit more coordinated, so you may want to start discussing and settling on a plan, then carrying it out, rather than diving in head first.

Get me some downtimes, and I'll start up the next run!
