Gear&Wear:
Jeans, shirt, dark blue lined coat.
Colt L36 in a hidden arm slide, knife on right hip, 2 spare clips in left coat pocket, white noise generator in right coat pocket.
Respirator in inside pocket, Transys Avalon running silent, Sensei broadcasting R4 fake SIN (Frank Wilson). Baba has the commcodes for both 'links.

Getting there in his Jackrabbit.

I'm thinking Francis doesn't have his thermographic activated so I'm taking the -3 mod to perception

Perception: Dim light/Rain (-3): 7d6t5 4
Perception: Dim Light (-3): 7d6t5 3
Area Knowledge: 9d6t5 3
Street gangs: 8d6t5 3

Proposed handle for Francis is Hornet.

Athena basically carries her whole life with her. Her Jeans are ripped and the shirt she is wearing is stained, not so much because she is messy, but because it's old. I keep the brace of knives across my right hip and flashbangs on the left. Both are covered by the lower hem of my armor jacket which is a size too big. I will catch a ride with whomever I live with. I'm assuming at this point it's my mom. I check my horoscope before I go.

Note: I rolled assuming that my helmet is on. +3 to audio directional, +3 to visual.

I wrote my story assuming Baba wouldn't be ready for her daughter to move in on the spot. I left it open as to how long Athena would stay with me. I'm good either way, yall decide if she's still staying with Zippy. If she's staying with Zippy then hell take Taco to the meet. If not, he'll take Gale. On his person, Zippy has his combat knife in his boot, his survival knife in his belt, his shock gloves on his hands, and his sawed off gecko gripped to his right leg. He is of course wearing his biker armor and helmet. He has a dose of cram and long haul on hand, and he also has his slap patches and armorer kit on Gale if he rode her. If he drove Taco, then all of his gear is in the trunk. If he didn't drive Taco, then Taco is somewhere safe nearby with the remainder of his gear in the trunk.

Cool. One last thing, Reyjinn, i cant seem to find it. How long did we say it'd been since the Urn run for dr marques? Also, just in case you'd forgotten, (i had for a minute there) You're still getting half off bills from the doc if you took that payment option. I've decided that that IS gonna include chrome, but will only give ya 15% off on that. I winged it and decided that 30% of the cost of ware is the surgery to instal it and she's willing to give ya half off that. Also, considering the time that's passed since then, how close would that put Francis to the hearing where his visitation rights are renegotiated?

so Laereth, where DOES athena hang her hat most days? Out in the sand blasted shitville full of go gangers where zippy lives? or in the palatial home of her mother?
And why? I feel like that's kind of important as well.

She would prefer to live with Zip. A few reasons. She does not really know her mother. Plus their is something of an indoctrinated hatred of orks she is working through. Plus she is a little afraid of her. A lot afraid actually.

I believe you mentioned somewhere that the Marques run could have been a few months back and I'm fine with that. I did remember the deal with the good doctor, think I made a note of it in chummer.

I said it would be up for review right around Joshua's 1st birthday which was 7 mo in the future at the time of the Marques run sooooo... maybe 3-4 months from now. Unless you want it to play a part in the story sooner, in that case I have no problems speeding it up. Only means he has less of a chance to extend his rights since he is still living in that drekhole of an apartment with Cram cooking next door :)

Also Francis's chummer file should anyone wish to view it:

Dim Light and Light Rain (Low-Light negates Dim Light, Thermographic moves Visibility up one row. No penalty):
Intuition 6 + Perception 6 + Visual 2 + Vision Enhancement 2 + Extra 3: 19d6t5 8 [19d6t5=5, 4, 1, 5, 2, 5, 1, 6, 2, 1, 1, 5, 1, 6, 1, 1, 6, 3, 6] Mental Limit 6, +2 from Vision Enhancement. Hit my limit at 8.

There's obviously someone watching the meet. He's sitting in a taxicab about two blocks away with binoculars. every 30 or 45 seconds or so, he looks through them toward the truckstop. Human, long blonde haired white kid with a datajack. looks to be about 16. Doesn't appear armed or armored. looks to be the taxi-driver. his meter is still running. it says 56.75 on it at the moment. You suspect he is just a lookout and nothing to be worried about. There are no flashy cars in the parking lot of this place, only the pieces of shit owned by the employees and customers, so you assume the taxi cab is the johnson's ride. That is NOT a good sign as far as how much money said johnson is actually able to throw around.

Dim Light (Negated by Low-Light. No penalty.):
Intuition 6 + Perception 6 + Visual 2 + Vision Enhancement 2 + Extra 3: 19d6t5 7 [19d6t5=2, 5, 1, 2, 5, 6, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 3, 2, 6, 1, 3, 4, 5, 3]

i was wondering why everyone was making 2 perception rolls, then went back and saw the typo in my post. sorry yall. my bad. only one was needed.

Area Knowledge: Intuition 6 + Area Knowledge 4: 10d6t5 2 [10d6t5=2, 2, 6, 4, 5, 4, 2, 4, 3, 4]

Baba Yaga doesnt get out to this side of town much. No one does really. The only time people wanna meet this far out is if they're REALLY paranoid about being watched. Mosquitoes are HORRIBLE, and so are other awakened and non awakend critters out in the swamp.

Gang Knowledge: Intuition 6 + Gang Knowledge 2: 8d6t5 1 [8d6t5=4, 6, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2]

Yup, this is definitely Dixie Sisters turf.

Perception: Dim light/Rain (-3): 7d6t5 4

You notice the taxi when you arrive, and the blonde white boy in the driver's seat, but nothing else about it.

Area Knowledge: 9d6t5 3

You just so happen to know of a shortcut just east of here that can put you on 295 north WAY faster than you should be able to do so. It's hidden behind a broken guardrail on an exit ramp you have to go up the wrong way for a second.

Street gangs: 8d6t5 3

There has been a bit of internal strife within DSG leadership lately. you feel like the fact that this meet is happening in such a remote locale probably has something to do with that.

you also notice the taxi, but no detail about it.



So, zippy and athena came together and got there last. Hornet got there in his own car about 15 minutes ago, and baba yaga showed up an hour ago to scope the place out in her own car. So, once the IC thread is up, let let baba yaga get the first post in it, then hornet, then whatever happens happens.

I should have said IC thread up by today or tomorrow.

EDIT: Oh yeah, keep in mind, most of my npcs are stingy bastards, so negotiate on price, almost always.

EDIT 2: feel free to ask for any other info you need.

So Baba has been there for an hour scoping the place out. Was the taxi already there, or did she see it pull up? Also, she would have been watching the people coming up to get gas as well, making sure nobody is sticking around too long or seems to keep coming back. If the taxi has been there the entire time, then anybody in that line could potentially be working for the johnson in her mind, and even if she watches the johnson pull up, they still might get rowdy. If a fight breaks out, she wouldn't want to get dragged into it.

the taxi has been there the whole time.
no one has gotten into or out of it.

and with that many hits on the roll, you feel certain that no one is leaving and coming back to the place. You're 99% sure that this is just a regular ole night for everyone around, except for you and the man in the taxi.

So Mr. Johnson has been there even longer than she has? Alright. I'll post shortly.

Before I post:
I'm assuming Francis knows about Athena and that she is involved in this proposed run.
Quote
"Well hello there sweetheart, what’s a girl like you doin’ all by her lonesome in a place like this?"
I'm also assuming Baba will at best scoff at Francis for jokingly opening their conversation with the above phrase. That might possibly be followed by a remark about how the kid has gotten Baba all wound up and that she needs to be frosty.

Since Baba and Francis have known each other for a few years I was thinking there would be a level of familiarity between them but I don't want to take away Ryo's autonomy (correct phrase?) about how she would react.

Baba's reply would probably be dismissive and irritated. A scoff works, but she'd probably reply with something like:

"Fixing to break something smaller than me." While looking down at Francis, since she's got like 7 inches of height on him.

There's definitely familiarity there, I imagine, so she's not entirely serious, just snippy. If Francis is aware of her Jazz addiction, it probably wouldn't be hard to tell she hasn't had a hit lately. Mentioning her kid after that would calm her down a bit, though.

14 cm, so around 5 in. But who's counting :)

Heh, I'll add that in as a quote from her. Fits really well into what I was thinking about, end of my post will be Francis trying to get her focused on the meet, talking about exit routes and shit.
