Since it will take Riker some time to find the old man, I'll respond to that later. I'm busy now. As you can see, I constantly update the NPC list.

Please make a AGI+REA - test to avoid bumping into the thug. If you hit a second score, you can even avoid running down that dude who sells fruit on his bike-store. Those two don't look like a serious threat (well, to you they are, but not in general). Just two bored youths who're looking for some prey to make their evening worthwile.

First Aid: 5d6t5 1
We can skip the scene with Sharmila. She's not gonna die. In RL, I'd have roleplayed the scene, but if you want we can fast-forward to the point when you have explained to M.B. dai what happened and waited for Musaa to wake-up. Tik chha?

Time for a power slide

followed by a less gracious but impressive dive roll

[Volker]

Have you lost Edge already? I don't think you can regain some, since you never used it, did you?

I'll try and get a post up tomorrow.

@Volker

Had to spend Edge to not get shot to death on the first page 

[Volker]

Ah, yah, you did. Nope, I wouldn't say it qualifies (yet). But I'll keep it in mind ;-)

Riker

Since the spirits described in Street Grimoire don't really fit the description of Hindu magic, or my impression of Hinduism in general, I took the liberty to allow them spirits of Men instead of spirits of Plant. Hindiusm being a tradition which is focussed on the mastery of mind and the ever-lasting cycle of rebirth in the form of animals and humans, I saw that fit.

The others

As soon as you have discussed what to do, you can fast-forward to whatever location or point of time you have chosen to start your investigation any time.

[Volker]

@Jack: I'll give the others a day to react/discuss before Baba Rajesh and you return to the hive.

[Volker]

Novocrane, you still with us?

[gilga]

What kind of respect was the baba expecting?

[Volker]

Greeting, for instance. Bowing. Appreciating his help. Giving him the feeling of being the respectful person he is. Stuff like that.
I hope you took no offense. Maybe it's just me not being used to pbp. It's my first time I'm a GM in a pbp. Usually, I only play in real-life, and in real-life you wouldn't miss to greet him or show respect. Since he was about to walk away anyway, this kinda concluded his visit. I hope that's fine by you.

@all: I really like the setting but I'm afraid the whole thing might die. There hasn't been a post for quite a time. I offered you to fast-forward to the point where Musaa wakes up but I didn't get any reply. If you like this thread, too, please try and keep it running. I will set up Musaa's waking-up post after work (i.e. in one hour, approx.).

After Friday, I'll be in the mountains for one and a half weeks. I don't know how much I can post. There's someone who could continue it for me in my absence but only if you decide which branch of investigation you pursue today or tomorrow (do you go to a street doc to ask about the slot, ask in the streets about the ash on his forehead, drink yourself to death, etc.). It would make it a lot of easier, if you could decide quickly!

Thanks!

[gilga]

You can assume that unless otherwise stated Lucky behaves with the ettiqute.
I just don't want to RP every bow, smile or nod - especially when the phase of the game is a post a day or worse. Basically lucky is waiting for the child to awaken.

[Volker]

Well, I'd ask you to roleplay that anyway, since this is what a roleplay game is about. But of course I will consider this in future. But you know, the atmosphere relies heavily on everybody describing their actions in a novel-like fashion.

But what's more important: Musaa is awake ;-)

[Volker]

@all

I'm with you, but there's nothing I can react to at the moment. Just keep on playing, I'm watching you closely hehe

@Jack_Spade

Since you made up the place you lured them to, could you share your idea about it? What sort of place did you think of?

[gilga]

Hey guys... I am traveling right now... will do my best to post.
