"Could I get fruit juice? Or soymilk? I'm a lightweight with alcohol."

Duck cracks a smile. Least one of em seems serious about this.

"I know I can be discrete. And I'm in. But, we will need extra equipment. Plus, we may need to grease some wheels."

He nods at the mention of extra equipment.

"Also, do you have any leads on where we could start? It may save us some valuable time."

"Yeah, no shit." he says to no one in particular, continuing to roll.

[reyjinn]

When his eyes settle on Slim, he pauses, trying not to let his face give away his thoughts.

Ok, i KNOW that aint the same pixie that tried to set up a fuckin bunraku parlor for DSG while i was locked down. What was that breeder's name? Slim? That aint Slim, is it? The fuck am i getting into?

He says only, "Duckdown, wiz? Fore anything else, we're gonna need gas masks if we're goin out there. Mongrels aint playin tonight." then stays quiet and listens to what everyone else has to say while he opens up the jar, takes a few grams of zen from it, and deliberately starts rolling one up.  He just can't stop looking at the elf in the lined coat, trying to figure out if those are the right tattoos.

I might need help stayin cool if i gotta make nice. Let's see how this goes.

Slim’s jaw tightens as he notices Duckdown giving him the eye. Great, I know where this is going. Looking the ork straight in the eye, "Name’s Slim, weapons expert."

Looking away from the ork, Slim continues,

"Trance, makes a good point, folk is way more likely to open up with a few nuyen coming their way. Don’t like how vague the terms are either. Don’t get me wrong, these dreks clearly need to be taken care of and I’m more than willing to assist in that. I’d just like some clarity on how payment is defined."

"Now, most of my gear is on the mainland, I’ve got nothing heavier than a light pistol on me. I’m guessing we’re all in similar situations with that. Do you have any throw away pieces around here Andy? Also, like Duck here says we’ll need gas mask before we start running around out there."

Negotiation: assist Trance: 7d6t5 4

[Laereth]

Angel pipes up at the mention of gas masks.

Worse comes to worse we can steal the gas masks or wait until the shops open in the morning. I would like to have a bow handy but I can do without.

She flips her commlink to get local survival nut stores and martial arts/sportting shops to do some browsing.

As for the big guns,, I know we feel naked without them. But in this case they may get us into trouble. To be gassing people and bombing bridges, that's take some planning. To send Knight Errant packing, that means there is a presence in force. It's one thing to take the island. Shows initiative. Holding it is what impresses me. If we had a vehicle to store weapons on, that would be great. Otherwise going out with anything noticeable is going to draw the kind of attention we could probably do without. A side affect of guns is usually shooting. Food for thought. If we end up in a running gun fight we will not weather this storm.

She looks over to Kitty, Cheshire, and Trance.

I think you 3 will be amongst our most useful tools. You may also end up taking the biggest risks for it.

She looks at Andy.

Some contacts here on the island would be handy. Maybe some in the local gangs? Or workers down on the docks? I would like to go see where these guys were gassed as well as the bomb sites and such. Getting the locals to help get us in would be nice.

She turns her attention back to the window, but glances at people around the table to see if anyone takes offence. She doesn't want to step on anybody's toes.

[Poindexter]

I would like to have a bow handy but I can do without.

Duck raises an eyebrow.
Bow, huh?

If we had a vehicle to store weapons on, that would be great.

"I got a gopher out front."

I think you 3 will be amongst our most useful tools. You may also end up taking the biggest risks for it.

Wonder who the hell they are...

Some contacts here on the island would be handy. Maybe some in the local gangs? Or workers down on the docks? I would like to go see where these guys were gassed as well as the bomb sites and such. Getting the locals to help get us in would be nice.

"I got some people trying to make some connects right now. Expecting a message any minute." He licks the paper, careful not to tear it with his tusks, and gives it one last finishing touch before adding, "Didn't get your name there ma'am."

[Laereth]

She smiles.

Didn't give it...

Angel. You introduce yourself so many times in a night you start to lose track. If you missed what I do, they can all catch you up. I work quietly though. If that's your Gopher, any other toys with it? Drones or the like.? The further out our eyes are, the more warning we will have.


She looks everyone over at the table. The only one left is the new Asian girl. Her eyes settle on her.

So all we need now is a decker...

[Poindexter]

Didn't give it...

Duck smiles back at her. I kinda like this breeder.

"Heh, I wish. Naw, all my gear is on the mainland. I got my truck and my dick, basically."

[SlowDeck]

Trance hmmms as she listens to the conversation, noting the lack of drones mentally.

Looks like we won't be covered by drones... But he does have a contact with info. How modified is his transport?

"Have any guns on the gopher? We may need to make a noisy exit."

[Poindexter]

"Have any guns on the gopher? We may need to make a noisy exit."

You think I'd need you buncha breeders if-

Duck takes a sharp inhale, ready to say some smart mouthed shit, then checks himself. Speaking quite calmly through gritted teeth, he responds, "It did this morning before i spent 2 hours removing them, so as not to draw unwanted attention to this friendly music gathering here."

He lets out a long sigh and leans back in his chair, forcing a smile before repeating himself.

"Truck and a dick, omae."

[Celtibero]

Looking at the crowd and holding her drink Kitty kept gathering whatever info was dropped, explosions on the bridge, gas masks, gang involvement, nothing of it good in her perspective, the work would come in handy but gas and armed to the teeth gangers was not handy.... not by all means.

And that would be my queue... before you testosterone freaks start dishing it out. You can call me Kitty, <Kawaii> decker at your disposal tapping the temple with the datajack and giving the shortest of bows and a faint little smile

adjusting the bleached hair and the red tinted glasses on her nose bridge, Kitty takes a slow look down at her flowery dress stained with blood and filth, the bloody nose, the loosely tied army boots where probably the cleanest element in the whole package... Kitty just shrugged to the rest of the group You know what they say... some days you´re better off staying in bed and today is certainly one of those days...

So... what´s the plan? some of the names people presented oddly familiar to her.... and yet she could not place it exactly... or maybe it was just the throbbing in her head.

[Poindexter]

Duck nods at the bleeding woman.

"Kitty."

[Laereth]

Right now my plan is just waiting for Andy. I'm not in this for charity reasons. No offence Andy.

[SlowDeck]

Trance nods to Duck.

"So a vehicle and a melee weapon... Okay."

She tries her best to look utterly innocent.

"I'm waiting on Andy as well."

[Laereth]

Wow. It's like a ghost town out there...

Angel comments as she stares out the window.

You know, with a reduced to non-existent Knight Errant presence. We could just go shopping with a couple ski masks.

When Angel notices the attention around the room.

I'm just saying... Her voice trails off at the end.

[Poindexter]

"So a vehicle and a melee weapon... Okay."

The lanky ork looks over at the green haired woman and smiles, silently chuckling.

Ok, I like this one, too.

"So, you're Trance? What's your deal and what the fuck is with that shirt?"

[Poindexter]

You know, with a reduced to non-existent Knight Errant presence. We could just go shopping with a couple ski masks.

Yup, she's my kinda people.
