"Any special qualities, anything that could make taking them down harder. What tradition is the shaman, and his typical kind of magic, what the other members do. If the client knows where there going to be, what time, and what they are doing, i'm assuming he also told you about the group. Also, what's the are ther summoning is taking place in like?Are we going to be able to pull this off in the open, or do we need to worry about security jumping us if we act to openly?" Lizzy said.

One gives you a look of disappointed confusion "Aint you listenin? She's a RAT shaman and the client DOESN'T know where the ritual is going down, otherwise your first job wouldn't be to figure that out. You sure you got your head in the right place for this, girl?" He takes a look around at everyone else like "The hell?"

[ProfGast]

"So, Rat shaman, from the beach, disrupt but no killing.  Got any description or name for the finger sparkler or should I just look for someone with shifty eyes and work it out from there?"

[Poindexter]

"So, Rat shaman, from the beach, disrupt but no killing.  Got any description or name for the finger sparkler or should I just look for someone with shifty eyes and work it out from there?"

One smiles at you, a big goofy grin as Shortstuff passes you the spliff. "Yeah, actually. Name's Twiss. Crazy wild woman type a vibe. Ballheaded dwarf chick in her thirties. I hear she done got herself some kinda apprentice or some shit bout a year or so ago, so ole boy probly gon be there too." He turns his attention back to Lizzy an continues. "Far as her crew, it aint that deep since she aint really good company to keep, so the rest them mugs is probably some hired help. If you can find the fixer she hired em through, you might could learn more about em, but I dunno."

He watches with a raised eyebrow to see if either of you hit it.

[Ravensoracle]

Patch watches the spiff being passed around and motions it past him. He returns One's raised eyebrow with his own You know me better look.

"This Crazy Rat woman got a place she likes to hang? Maybe somewhere we can pick up her trail." He looks to the others, "If she's really from the beach, she ain't gonna go anywhere else besides that neighborhood to perform the ritual. It definitely makes things easier in narrowing the location down."

[ProfGast]

QT waves the spiff on as well…

You know I don't toke if I'm going to be working Sam

"True, I think we may have most of what we can get without having to do our own legwork… Unless anyone else can think of something?"

[Poindexter]

He looks to the others, "If she's really from the beach, she ain't gonna go anywhere else besides that neighborhood to perform the ritual. It definitely makes things easier in narrowing the location down."

"Hmmmm..." One rubs one hand down the stubble on his cheek as he hits the spliff again. "I don't think she really does much hangin out, but I hear her boy gets into some ski-ball. Only two, three spots left at the beach with ski-ball anymore. I aint know his name though, just that he's younger than her and he's flip."

[ProfGast]

"Well that's a good place to start as any."

QT glances around at the rest of the team. 

"We can pull up addresses and look around for a filipino kid who's hitting up the ski-ball and figure it out from there yeah?

[Poindexter]

"We can pull up addresses and look around for a filipino kid who's hitting up the ski-ball and figure it out from there yeah?

"WORD!" says One as he finishes off the last little bit of the spliff and stands up, stomping its burning embers under the bottom of his slipper. "Aight, now I'm finna go back up top an show these mugs what the fuck is really really good up in this piece, yaMEAN?!" the final syllable echoing through the empty space. "Yall can chill here and party and shit if ya want. Otherwise, I'll holler atcha come sunrise day afta morrow, yall can come through, get that jing, wiz?" Noticing the stunned and loopy look on Shortstuffs face, he chuckles and says, "I forgot you got such a fast metabolism and things, yo. Little hits next time, wiz? F'real, you good?" He pounds fists with each of you before headed back upstairs.

[Zweiblumen]

Short Stuff is obviously blotto.  Seems like it's possible the gnome missed out on his dwarven heritage of durability between the light bruising he took and the straight to the head hit from One67's spliff.  With his head bobbing a bit and a goofy grin replacing his perpetually friendly one, he looks up and says "More than good omae!  I'll find that place!" while pulling up countless AR windows.  As he's going through local social media and advertisments he quickly finds the Arcade.  Effortlessly snatching the rest of the team's comm codes while creating an AR object with the location and relavent information, he sends them all the object... along with about a dozen trideo objects of paracritters doing ridiculously adorable things.

The gnome is obviously looking at multiple trids at once and starts laughing uncrontrollably, rolling back and forth on the squatters couch they were on.  It seems like he's set for the next 15-20 minutes or so.

[ProfGast]

QT pulls her commlink out as it beeps and quickly flips past the vid files with a smirk to look at the address being sent.

"Well that answers that question.  I want to follow up on this lead, anyone coming with?  Or have better ideas?"

[saithor]

"I got a talismonger friend, even if she's a recluse he mayhave dealt with her. Next bit I'll have to have someone watch my meat-body. I can astrally check the place for the two, maybe assign a spirit to watch them and keep track of them, but I'm not going to do it and have somebody rifle or steal my uncounciouss body. So does anybody have a place where we want to set up?" While she waits for a reply Lizzy open up her comn and sends a message to Jokan.

>>To: Jokan
I got the job. Do you know anything about a bald female dwarven rat shaman named Twiss, extremely anti-social? Or how about a fillipino mage running around, likes Ski-Ball?

After she sends the message Lizzy made sure the rest of the group was paying attention. "Anybody have any ideas how they want to hold this down. We don't know the spot yet, I know that, but we might as well starting listing our options. One thing though, this is going to have to be completely in our control. Things starting getting chaotic in there, someone liable to end up dead, and even if it's the targets we don't get paid. "

<<@Lizzy [Jokan] The dwarf yes, the ski-ball no.>>

[Zweiblumen]

When Patch checks on Rudy, the gnome smiles up at him and for no good reason responds to the large ork in German. "Hoi chummer.  Was ist los?  Wir werden eine gut Zeit, ja?" What's up? We're having a good time yeah? while giving him a big goofy grin.  The gnome is obviously enjoying himself while playing in AR.

As the effects of the Zen wearing off, Rudy fires off a few more matrix searches.  Now that he's got everyone comm code, he does another group message. <<<@Team [Short Stuff] I can cover wireless security if you'd like, just slave to device ID 7A739S362AGU682 and I can keep your gear safe.  Not much out there about Twiss, but what little there is says she's a 'good' person, but a crappy negotiator.  Maybe we can talk her into standing down for a day?  As for the fixer, might have a lead in a guy that goes by the name 'Set-Up' possible real name of Randy.  He's down on the beach here <AR location link>.  I'm happy to ride with QT and anyone else to go check out the arcade.  We've a few options for anyone that doesn't want to ride down to the beach.>>>

[Ravensoracle]

Patch gives the gnome a quick once over just to make sure he isn't going to have to worry about an overdose.

He grunts and responds, "Sie müssen nicht das Körpergewicht und Medikamentendosierung zu verstehen?" (Translation: You don't understand body weight and drug dosage?)

Patch sits on the couch next to the dwarf and turns to the others. "So when are we headed out to the beach? I know a little about the area but not much since I've only been a short time."

[Zweiblumen]

"Es was gut Scheiße!  I habe keine Probleme sehen!"
Translation: It was good shit!  I don't see any problems!

As he continues to do the searches on Twiss and any possible fixers he starts to curl up into a small ball on the couch.  His hands moving almost rhythmically through AR windows as he scans things and dismisses others, or he stoned out of his gord an thinks he's a cat.  You each have your doubts until about 30 minutes later when you receive a very coherent message from the gnome explaining what he's been doing.
