Raining as usual, the glow of your commlink as it receives a message contrasts sharply with the gloom of outside.You recieve a message from your respective fixers reading "Hoi Chummer. I've got a job opportunity. Theres a guy looking for some runners to extract someone from somewhere. I know it's not much but if you want the job you have to meet him at Fair Lady Gentleman's club, dress appropriately, at 8pm tonight. Should you decide to find out more just say Elephant to the bartender. Have fun Chummer." You look at your watch and see that it is just half past 5pm.

@CS You know that the place is in a nice part of town and you should probably wear a sports coat at the very least and even that will get you some odd looks.

Ah crap, that's that swanky bar. Suit it is then..
Wheels takes a shower while the food processor knocks up a convincing effort at a Kielbasa, before wolfing it down in front of the trid screen in his comfy chair to kill some time.
It wasn't that far from his nice apartment, the generously appointed living room/kitchen on the 14th floor had superb views out over the city and he'd had to fight off a good few corp middle-wagers to secure it.
The secure underground parking had been the swinger though. Decent wheels needed a decent home, his baby would have been on bricks by sunrise had he left it on show near his old gaff.
Donning his suit, he slips his taser into his concealable holster and gathers his kit into his duffel bag before locking up and catching the small elevator down to his parking bay.
Slinging the duffel bag into the boot of his car, he switches his fake SiN to broadcast mode, fires up the engine and guns it noisily onto the main road, heading for the meet.

Contacts in, earbuds in, monocle on. Driving in AR for +1 dice if tests required.
rest of B&E kit and drone etc are in the boot (trunk) of car out of sight.

'Dammit who is calling at this time of day' her hand smacks against the small cheaply made wooden table next to the bed. The blurry glow of the Novatech Airware's display is pulled before her eyes as she stretches. Glancing at the time on it, '5! What the hell...' She rubs her eyes and gets out of bed hearing the message left by her fixer. "Hoi Chummer. I've got a job opportunity. Theres a guy looking for some runners to extract someone from somewhere. I know it's not much but if you want the job you have to meet him at Fair Lady Gentleman's club, dress appropriately, at 8pm tonight. Should you decide to find out more just say Elephant to the bartender. Have fun Chummer." Stumbling towards the doorway to the hall connecting the the bathroom and kitchen to her room she heads in flicking the bathroom light on, she heads and turns on the shower. Taking off her sleeping shirt and shorts she steps in and cleans up for the night ahead.

Drying off after her shower she head in to dress in a form fitting body suit under a nice dark colored shirt and skirt. She grabs her AR glove, buckles her knee high boots and heads back in the bathroom to put in her iContacts into her blue-green eyes, syncing it with her Novatech she walking into the kitchen to eat something light before she heads out to the meeting point. She browses a couple of her favorite sites, checking forums, and catching up on any interesting news from earlier in the day she chows down on some cinnamon suger-buttered toast. After she finishes she pulls up the HUD on her contacts, '7:03', she shrugs to herself, 'might as well grab some stuff and head over, its a bit of a drive anyway.'

Assuming I know the club, Bars and Clubs (3) + INT (2). Roll, 4 successes. if not... I'll look it up.

Stepping in front of the mirror she puts on a woven tungsten and damascus chain holding a small ametrine stone at the end. She fixes her multicolored hair to sit just right. She grabs her ceramic knife, power focus, and her streetline special loaded with stick-n-shock rounds off on the table and steps out of her front door lighting a cigarette after she locks it up. after reaching her Indian Pathfinder she puts her piston in the side bag where her license for it is. She makes sure her knife is hidden in her dress. She continues to smoke as she pulls out of the garage onto the busy street, revving the engine she bolts out into the traffic heading toward the Fair Lady Gentleman's Club.

Navigating through traffic, she hits nearly ever red light along the way. 'This isn't my day, better have a stiff friggin' drink here.' She pulls up to the Fair Lady Gentleman's Club. her iContact displaying 8:06. Killing the engine, he makes her way toward the door.

For GM:
Equipment on her:
Form fitting body suit
Clothes
Ceramic Knife
Novatech Aireware
AR Gloves
iContacts
Fake Sin (Elsy Callahan)
Cred Stick
Power Focus
Pack of cigs (12)

"Hoi Chummer. I've got a job opportunity. Theres a guy looking for some runners to extract....

Perfect timing. My mother should killing me if I can't get enough money to the freaking renta. But what a fu**ing is the "elephant"?

He is send a searching order to the commlink. What the freaking monster. He isnt read the article so he thinking the elephant is a carnaviors predator. But he knows how is look.
He is streching hes back while seeing hes yakuza tattoos dancing in the shadows on the AR displays electronic light.The tattos moving as movie called Red Dragon. He is check the the cyber systems status on image link.

He's watching the running characters, usally pure data and binary code. No any red alert. After 3 seconds the system finished the work and write in the middle of the hes viewpoint:

Ares C6 Move-by-Wire System _____ status OK

Connecting online....                               Failed

Check system parameters                    Y/N

Hes choosing the NO, and walking to the AR window (hes living in the middle of a complex, so no real window). The weather as usuall. I fu**ing love this town. Well, lets see whats suit available.

He has only one suit what is fill up in a gentlemen club. It is a neo japanese style black burial suite. Soo runner style. He is clen hes body (no shower, he uses a chemical body cleaner looks like a hairdryer) while check some map information about the club. He is saving the gps coordinate and send the data to the motorcycles  board computer.

He is packing the equipment and going to ride.

   +Fake License (Driver) Rating 4, Ammo: Regular Ammo (Heavy Pistols) x45, Ammo: EX-Explosive Rounds (Heavy Pistols) x15, commlink (hidden mode),, , ceramic knife, Predator (concealble holster), Form-Fitting Half-Body Suit4/1
 and the burial suit, he also wear up a coat


He makeing the make-up also. He always wearing a white make up on hes face with black circles around eyes.

The constant rain in Seattle formed the perfect auditory backdrop in Jades apartment. Her blue-green eyes scanned her reflection; her Evo FOCUS attention coprocessor adding details and highlighting specific details of her. Her black hair sat down just above her shoulders, and her eyes couldn't help but examine the transition from human being to machine at her collarbone, where her right arm was replaced by her customized arm. Her black tanktop showed the actuators and connection points clearly. Sometimes when she went to the clubs, she'd leave her shoulder bare just to accentuate it.

Her Transys Avalon chirped; she smirked knowing it was her 'work' link. Simon, Mr. J, or one of her other associates might have some work for her.
At the same time, she hesitated as she reached for it. Tonight was supposed to be her night out on the town; pop some eX and dance the night away. Funds were alright, but at the same time, a little extra nuyen never hurt.

She gripped the Transys tightly, drawing its cable into her datajack into her neck. She was grateful she'd gotten a model that didn't pinch anymore.
Simons cool voice edged through. As usual, his measured baritone voice was charming even in the brief voice message he left. Evidently, he wasn't in the mood to chat tonight.
"Hoi Chummer. I've got a job opportunity. Theres a guy looking for some runners to extract someone from somewhere. I know it's not much but if you want the job you have to meet him at Fair Lady Gentleman's club, dress appropriately, at 8pm tonight. Should you decide to find out more just say Elephant to the bartender. Have fun Chummer."

Well, Ghost was smiling on Jade tonight; a chance to get to party it up AND get paid? This was too good a chance to pass up.
3 hits on "Seattle Bars and Clubs (5d6) I'm assuming is enough to tell me this is a higher end establishment.

The Fair Lady's Gentlemans Club was about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. Jade began quickly picking an outfit, deciding on a nice, ordinary suit jacket with a dress shirt underneath, then her half-body suit underneath for some level of protection if something happened. Granted, who was really dumb enough to pick a fight that would make her worry at a strip club? She assessed herself in the mirror, judging that she looked good, yet attractive. She slid her customized Fichetti into a holster and slid it into her jacket with a spare clip. The joys of having a gun with a clip of 30 rounds.

By the time she was dressed and ready, it was just past 6:15. She laid out the tools of her trade and made sure they were ready for a quick pickup from her apartment in Tacoma. Her armored jumpsuit and accompanying kit, spare pistols, ammo, and ceramic knife in a non-descript backpack, with her vibro-sword and HK-227 next to it, ready for a quick dash and grab under her bed.

Jade grabbed a rain-coat and helmet; rain was never good on clothes, but it beat using public transportation to a meet.

@Crazy Ivan: You know the location of the bar and that you should wear nice clothes like no t-shirt and jeans.

Toshi try to find a good parking place of the Contrail. Maybe close to the club, but not too close. 100 meter is perfect. If he find a place, hidden the predator in the trunk, pay the parking bill, and being shadow. He is eyes is open, scan the ground.

@Cram: You find a few spots to park but all are less than 100 meters from the building. As you look around you see two human bouncers in black suits. You also see various people of the richer variety coming and going.

Puppeteer was just deciding to close shop. He didn't have too many customers today, only two people came in besides the guy who had an appointment. And he better started to prepare for the Ritual of Dusk. When the message came in, he read it with a resignated sigh, then spared a few minutes to copy the name of the place into the browser and check the club for its address and the pictures on the site for the dress code. He took some notes then got on with preparations.

--o--

After finishing the Ritual, he still got enough time to get ready to leave. He dressed with care, making sure that his body armor didn't show obtrusively under his clothes. He took his gear with him, at least those items that he could put into a taxi without inviting too much notice - that meant his skeleton vessels reamined next to the altar. Finally, he grabbed his raincoat and called a taxi beforehand, they didn't really tend to just appear in Puyallup too much. He arrived to the club about 15 minutes early but it was more than OK. He opened his eye to the astral world briefly, just to get a feel of the place, still from the outside, then walked up to the door.
[spoiler=assensing]INT(5) + Assensing(3) + Mentor(2) (10d6.hits(5)=3); really just want to get the feel of the club before entering[/spoiler]

For RenThe aura of the club is upbeat. It looks like a happy place compared to the places around it which look gloomy. It looks as though they may have hired mages to enhance their aura for their magically inclined customers.

You all arive at the club at varying times. Those who arrive before 7:30pm will see a large party enter the building. Other tan that it is a steady trickle of people coming and going. You notice that a few people are being stopped and are handing weapons over to the bouncers who secure them in a lock box. Other than that a few people are turned away because of what they are wearing.

If you want to sneak weapons in you will have to make a palming test. Other than that declare what you do once you enter.
