After a short ride Yoshiro arrives at the Noc Noc and parks his bike at the usual place The parking fee of 5 Nuyen is charged automatically when entering the lot. At the entrance of the club a lonely Orc in a black suit standing guard. An ugly but familiar face. His name is Al if Yoshiro remembers correctly. Before entering the building Yoshiro checks the surrounding if there is any sign of the elf yet, but nothing. He decides to wait inside, where it is much cooler and the drinks much easier to get. Yoshiro goes through the entrance, nodding to the security Orc (Yoshiro is unarmed, only wearing a protective armor vest under his normal clothes, making the heat outside even more unbarable). The entry fee is 20 bucks, but with one free drink and some nuts included. Electrolyte is always good. Inside the coldness coming from the AC embraces Yoshiro like a welcomed jump into cold water. Instantly his AR floods him with special offers, menues, ads, and the usual overdose of virtual information. Yoshiro checks the AR for empty seats in a calm corner before he switches to passive mode. He instantly finds a nice niche far away from everyone else but from where he still can observe the entrance. As expected at this time of the day the club is still empty and only a few guests sit at the bar.

After sliding into the niche with it's black artificial leather seats he picks a cold nuka coke as his free drink from the menu. While waiting for Siren he already starts to work and tries to find something about Delirium - the place where this Juno guy hangs out - in the matrix. We don't have so much information. Hopefully the commlink will give us more when Siren arrives with it. Waiting for her he nibbles the nuts standing in front of him and searching the matrix for information.

Yoshiro gets access to the matrix using his Renraku Sensei commlink. He searches for the name "Delirium" but has some hardness to find anything useful. Actually he gets too many hits with this search. He tries to narrow down the term a bit and adds "Seattle" to the search, maybe this will help

10d6.hits(5) → [1,5,6,1,3,1,3,3,3,1] = (2). I still cannot register at Invisible castle and I also could not find our game there

The results cascade into your AR feed, ordered by assumed relevance to your search parameters.
The first hit is a link to the Delirium Nightclub's site, Its broad description telling you to expect a wild party, open most nights till 4am, with a 24 hour license at weekends.
It plays host to a wide selection of international talent on the DJ circuit and displays a list of upcoming gigs, several popups asking you for permission to upload these dates into your calendar and whether you would like to purchase advance tickets.
There is a small link for requesting access to the VIP area, available for private bookings, personal events and corporate meetings. "Details available on request"

"Oh, I assure you, it's all natural." Slipping past the Ork bouncer with catlike agility Abigail smiles wickedly at the security guard past the entrance. She'd taken a short detour to change, and gone was the dull wageslave appearance, and in its stead stood an Elf in a tightfitting matte black bodysuit, armaplast padding in selected places, kneelength combat boots (steelcapped of course), and a somewhat battered-looking UCAS armored combatjacket (Currently dialed to a dark green camo pattern). She still wore her hair the same, loose and jawlength, but it'd been ruffled by her bikeride from the meet, and now looked wild and free. Finally, Abigail had a Predator in a quickrelease rig under her left arm, and a tanto combat-blade under her right.

"I'm not messin', Chica, I need info on a dealer, celénit's name's Juno. Hangs at the Delirium. Hit me back when you got something." A message is blinkclicked and sent to one of Abigail's old goganger contacts, a serious adrenalinejunkie by the handle Vector. She'd rode with Abigail in the past.

Spotting Bo in the back, Abigail strides across the near-empty club and slides into the seat opposite him. She favours the asian man with a brief nod and a faint smile. "I apologise for the wait. Traffic's a killer." She orders three fingers of scotch from the AR menu, whilst fishing out the battered comlink the Johnson has given them. "I've already sent out a few feelers, and I assume you have as well, so I think we should look this thing over."

Celénit = Nonelf, insult.

"You disappoint me, Vect. This is biz. Don't make me regret saving your ass that time with the Halloweeners! And you damn well know I'm good for the Nuyen." Abigail frowns for a brief instance. Her eyes are still on the old comlink, fingers prodding at buttons.

Going with Intimidation 6d6.hits(5)=1 which failed. Dagnabbit! ^^ (I also can't register/login on Invisible Castle)

Flicking through the commlink, you can see it has been used primarily for games, browsing and mesaging.
Most of the history is pretty banal; trix nodes of j-pop bands, DJ's and Trix shopping sites.
The gaming section shows an active subscription to VR pilot 3, but it hasnt been logged into in over a week.
The diary section shows several entries over the past few weeks,
Each one reading like a lovesick 15 year old wrote it.
It was faily clear that anastacia was obsessive about juno, she was wowed by his pull, he knew the DJ's, knew the bouncers and was generally recognised wherever he went.
Being the girl on his arm had propelled her to new heights, and although not explicit, she reffered to "new experiences and feelings"' maybe she was referring to drugs? Maybe it was to sex, perhaps both? Either way, you expect she wont be too happy to return to daddy.
The last entry mentions that she is looking forward to seeing MC Callixo tonight at delirium and that Juno had got her and two friends on the VIP list.

Looking for known DJs


knowledge DJs 3d6.hits(5)=1

Yoshiro also has a look into the diary and the contents of the commlink. As expected. This won't be easy, I can handle Orcs shooting at me but teenage girls who think they just found their true love is maybe more I can handle. [Siren do you find any comm number or anything else about Juno? We should also get onto the VIP list for tonight's show of MC Callixo. Any idea how we can extract her and make Juno a miserable business day? MAybe we should observe them first and hit later when they are at a calmer place?

You recognise a few of the better known DJ's on the upcoming gig list. Clearly Delirium has some status to pull big names like that in for performances.

___Ecthelias___
Oddly enough, there are no commcodes, previous messages or any identifiable methods of contacting juno on the commlink.
INT + LOG test please

Yoshiro orders another coke and looks curiously over to Siren. In the meantime he gets back to his own comm and tries to get more information about VIP access at Delirium. There was a link to the VIP area and something about more information on request... He also tries to find out anything about the Delirium and its security

When the waitress is back with his third coke he asks her: Hey.... he looks quickly at the name tag at her shirt, frowning ....Mandy.... do you know if your boss is already around here? I would like to ask him something. Yoshiro adds a tip of 50 Nuyen to the bill for the coke.

Yoshiro wants to ask Sayid, the owner of the Noc Noc (connection 2/1) if he knows something about Delirium, the security and possible drug scene over there. He knows it is a long shot but hey, worth a try

Sure thing darl, he'll be in in five minutes, I'll send him right over
Mandy looks at you with flirty eyes when she sees the size of your gratuity couldn't think of another way of putting that phrase without hitting innuendo lol
Can I... get you.. anything else in the meantime? Mandy plays with her hair, making solid eye contact, clearly wanting you to ask her something..
