He turns down the cigarette"No thanks, though if they fight I call first dibs on the losers toys."

[umraefein]

Ignazio turns towards the latest addition of this ragtag bunch of miscreants. "Tech support, huh? Nice job... safe? I'm Draco by the way... we haven't been formally introduced. Also, I wouldn't bet on getting anything from the loser... The winner would probably either keep it or sell it. Plus, some of us don't have anything you'd want."

[Retrokinesis]

Richter nods to Jimmy and finishes his cranberry juice. "No problem. When the time comes, I'm with you". He hopes that point was clear.

[odd]

"They call me Daedy (die-dee) around here and I like all kindsof toys, plus I called dibs.  So who'se everyone else and what do ya'll do?"

[umraefein]

"Well, as for your 'dibs' I think the classic 'to the victor goes the spoils' kinda over rules you there. Plus, you couldn't play with my toys if you tried... Don't have the juice. I do, which is kinda my trick. As for the rest, well... The loud mouth is Three Star. Seems to be a street sam from my estimation. So's Marduk, but he has the added juice of being a big black hole where magic is concerned. He stays well enough away from me, we all stay happy. The last guy is Shark. Seems like a pretty smooth talker, if our little show was anything to go on. Outside that... well, your guess is as good as mine."

"I'll still do the job, but after all this, I'll do it pro bono. You can either take my cut to cover your Knight's fee's Steelfish, or give it to the rest of the team." he stands with one hand in front of his face, looking through his fingers at Steelfish.

[Retrokinesis]

"The pay is the pay. Not my problem nor my concern. Up to y'all what to do with it but no way am I skimming off a team I helped assemble. Bad for business". Steelfish places a datachip on the bar and pushes it towards the group. "Here's the time and location of the meet as well as necessary account information. Johnson wants to go virtual so he's set you all up with access to the Casino de Monte-Carlo's 'Trix node. Very swanky. Try not to blow all your pay before you actually take the job, hmm?"

[odd]

Tink will pick it up and read the chip and hand it out towards the next closest person.

[Chrona]

Three Star takes the chip but just tosses it over to Shark, not checking i yet. "I don't do VR, will they accept AR guests?", He asks Steelfish.

[Retrokinesis]

"The casino itself does, if you're up for some gambling, but Johnson requested a full VR meet only. Anyone who's not comfortable in the 'Trix should probably sit the meet out. 'Course, that means you need to trust whoever DOES go isn't cuttin' you out..."

[Chrona]

"Considering what I just said about the pay, I don't need to fear that."

[Retrokinesis]

"I don't do casinos or VR. Bad history with both. I'll make sure nothing happens to your defenseless meatsuits while you're negotiating my pay". He hoped the (semi)implied threat was obvious.

[umraefein]

"Guess it's you and me, Tink." Ignazio walked over, and grabbed the chip, reading it quickly. He didn't enjoy VR, but if the job called for it... He wondered what Marduk's problem with casinos was... at least VR made sense. Still, if he decided to share, that was up to him. "Also, Steelfish, did we get a time on the meet, or just a place?"

[RHat]

"Oh, don't count me out.  I ain't been to a proper casino since I left home.  This is damn near nostalgic.  Besides, I don't much trust in you lot to handle the negotiation." 

[umraefein]

"Hey now, chummer, I don't much care if you come or not, but it's a little harsh to assume we'll hose it. Way I see it, we all better put a little trust in each other sooner or later. How else can we work together?
