OK, at this point, you have a couple leads.

1- You know the ritual leader is an anti-social dwarven rat shaman with a bald head who goes by the name "Twiss" and rarely if ever leaves the beaches area.
2- You know she has a Filipino apprentice who lies ski-ball. You also have a lead on at least one place at the beach that has the game.
3- You know Twiss more than likely hired outside help from a beaches area fixer.

it definitely seems to me like headed to the arcade to look for the apprentice is something yall are gonna do, but are all of yall gonna do that?
Is anyone following any different leads, perhaps through their own contacts or knowledge skills?

Matrix search for info on Twiss and then another one on beach area fixers
(Drugs aren't slowing him down mentally, just physically.  I'll be sure to play it up until they wear off.)
Oh, and lets get a data sprite to do one search while I do the other:
Compiling Level 6 Data Sprite (Res 6 + Comp 6 = 12): 12d6t5 1
Sprite resist compiling (level 6 = 6): 6d6t5 1
0 net hits no sprite
Soaking Compliation Fade 4dv (Resonance 6 + Will 6 = 12): 12d6t5 5
no fade

Oh well, just my searches then.
matrix search for Twiss (Comp 7 + INT 5 = 12): 12d6t5 4
matrix search for beach fixers (Comp 7 + INT 5 = 12): 12d6t5 4

1- Twiss. Nothing much comes up that you don't already know. Only a mention on a talismonger board that she occasionally dips her toe into the industry for side money from time to time. Also, that she's a horrible negotiator. The few people who claim to have done business with her mention she does it out of a shopping cart AND that they got a far better price than they should have. Despite her rough edges, she's described like an honorable sort who genuinely cares about the people of the beach.

2- There's mention on one of the Red Five boards of an former Dixie Sisters dope cooker who runs a no-tell motel at the beach. The Fivers try to be slick about it and use code, but it's obvious they go to this guy for a wide variety of illegal services. They refer to him by two names; Randy, presumably his real name, and the more common, "Set-up".

the salmon colored building. The area is FAR more run down that it appears in google maps today.

Qt is going to want to investigate personally.  Though If we don't have a solid lead she'll recommend splitting up

[Poindexter]

we got any thoughts of actions done come up?

[Zweiblumen]

I'm kinda waiting for folks to do something IC so that I'm not just running things back to back.  Depending on the thresholds for those search, SS could be chillin' on that couch for up to an hour.

It's about half an hour.

1. What time is it?
2. What are the hours at the arcade?
3. We gotta tear down the boardwalk on our motorcycles as the new badass go-gang in town!

1- Bout 7pm.
2- noon to 11pm
3- I'd be careful about that. There's already a sizable go-gang that considers the beaches THEIR turf.

I was 99% joking, but I think the sight of a gnome on a moped/scooter would quickly reveal the humor of the situation.

In all reality, we are 4 folks on 2 wheeled vehicles.  The moped with a little boy on it making it look almost like some kind of dreanged family.

Anyway, SS is down for a ride to the Arcade... Is it just gonna be Qt and SS?

and if so, what are Lizzy and Patch gonna get upto and is there a plan for where/when to meet back up?

[Poindexter]

1- Bout 7pm.

WHOA! I'm utterly trippin. It is TOTALLY not 7pm. It's about 9. whoops. sorry.

Fianlly back, Lizzy is going to hit Jokan for some information on Twiss and her apprentice. After that she's going to astrally scout out the beaches area looking for awakened (Let me know if I need an Assensining roll for this.)

The beaches area covers many square miles and it home to tens of thousands of people. You will find many many awakened.

Could always conectrate on the Ski-ball areas to find the apprentice. That probably wouldn't be as hard. Maybe we could even get Twiss' location out of him. Easiest way would be t kidnap Twiss and the apprentice and hold them till the time runs out.
