@B.B.:

You try to remember each of the images from the menu of girls but you can't remember all the details.

[FastJack]

Mercedes tries to remember which of the girls in the pictures had tattoos to help narrow down the search.

Mercedes can't remember every detail of the images either.  Walks's has a photographic memory but never saw the menu.

>>>>>Mercedes, reboot the link on the left down there.  Or just ask the madam which of her girls has the most tattoos.  That info shouldn't be off limits since it's not directly related to the game.<<<<<

[inca1980]

@Mercedes&Walks:
You reboot the commlink and after about 10 seconds you see the AR environment come back online and even in the basement there are butterflies and eastern dragons floating around.

@Everyone:

A familiar AR screen appears before you:  <<Welcome to the Pearl Tongue: Online Services -- In house services--Our Girls!>>, along with a few more tabs for pull-down menus

[Kontact]

<<<<<Looks like our girl is Bessie Mae.  I'll scope it out.  You inform the madam that gameboy, Olivier Sanon, has fucked up and this whole business will soon be a thing of the past.  Maybe also find out what happened to the Crushers who came in here looking for their cut.  Did they feed them to Snow White?>>>>>>

"Well, it's been real, doll, but I've gotta jet before this whole thing falls to shit."
With that, Brian hopped off the chair and scurried over to Bessie Mae's room.

[inca1980]

@B.B.:

The node to which you see Bessie Mae's AR link connected to is on the 3rd floor and you scurry up following the AR dot on your overhead and when you try the door it opens right up.  You walk in and find her also sitting on the bed in a lavender lilac colored nighty, her eyes open, staring off into space and only occasionally blinking to stay lubricated.  In contrast to how it was with the other girls in the Pearl Tongue that you approached, as you approach this lovely lady, your Analyze program, which has been on high alert the whole time, finally begins to pick up those familiar data transfers between Jeshua's commlink and Bessie Mae's PAN and they are initiated by the same type of cookie you noticed as you walked down to the pool-room at the Chalice.  You don't see her react at all as the cookie does it's thing.

 She seems to jolt a little as she's startled by you and when she looks down at your submachinegun she begins to look quite flustered, "Hey kid, you better put that gun down before I call security!  What the HELL is going on here?  I'm off the clock, so if you want my services you're gonna have to make it worth my while and if you're trying to rob me, then go ahead, take what you want in here and go....cuz ya ain't gonna get too far with it."

[Kontact]

[OOC:  Did the cookie bring up any digital info, or I am I just going to have to get it off the flesh of Miss BM?]

<<<<<Mercedes. Reconvene, third floor.>>>>>

Brian quickly makes sure his AR mask ARO is on and broadcasting to cover his head and face, and then raises his finger to show the symbol to the girl.
"Does this look familiar to you?  Also, don't make trouble.  Blah blah blah."

[FastJack]

"Hang tight, missy. I'll be right back."

Mercedes heads up to the third floor, looking for where B.B. is.

[inca1980]

@Mercedes:

You follow B.B.'s node on your AR display and go into the room and find him with his SMG in one hand and his other hand pointing out a finger showing an AR copy of the symbol.  Bessie Mae looks over at you and now looks even more confused. 

@B.B.:

From the look on Bessie Mae's face you can tell she's slowly realizing that that you're probably not a kid and she responds rather flatly, "It's one of my tattoos, and if you want to get to see it that's gonna run you at least 1500 cred!"

An AR screen pops up from both of the Yaks commlinks and you notice that she must have just mentally alerted them with a request for assistance. 

[OOC: the only thing you notice are the very evasive little data packets between the cookie on Jeshua's comm and Bessie Mae's PAN; nothing else.]

[Kontact]

"I said not to make trouble.  Are you looking to get ventilated?  You know what?  I'm not even going to bother.  Not worth the ammo.  You take care of this, Merk.  I'm going back to position 1."

Brian slips out of the room and takes up a defensive position near the doorway.

[FastJack]

Mercedes sighs as the gnome leaves the room, "Sorry hina, he's wires are a bit cross right now. We're trying to find this kid that got mixed up in some shit and need your help to make sure he's okay. If you can help, I sure we could come up with some kind of reward. Sound okay?"

[Walks Through Walls]

I'm going to try and find a place where I can see outside without being in obvious view. I will again engage my chameleon suit to help me go unnoticed.

[inca1980]

@Mercedes:

[OOC:Bessie Mae's Perception: Perc 2 + Int 3 + suspicious 2= (7d6.hits(5)=4), she sees through your etiquette.]

Apparently ignoring your comment about the boys she looks you dead in the eye, "Listen, I don't know who you are, or who he is...but you two definitely don't understand who you're messing with...Ever heard of the Kanaga-gumi?  They really don't ever forget, especially when it's a bad memory.  So why don't you slot me 1500 cred and i'll show you whatever you want and you can just go about your business?  Deal?" 

@Walks:

You go outside and it's begun raining again pretty heavily.  You see Spiderman still outside on the street and he's donned a clear plastic rain-poncho and is holding his SMG at his side seeming lost in thought.

[Sludig]

Woofer exits the madam's room, and takes a position in the lobby, <<Mercedes, if we need it, slot her the 1,500, and get the information, we can go from there.  BB, can only hold the alerts back for so long.>>
