(OOC: Hey Walks, I was actually headed out of the bar as well, if McPherson stopped at the door, that's fine, but I woulda brushed by him coming back or at the door and kept going to my ride, just pointing that out.)

After looking over his bike, Smiley will call Cheri Ostler, his only magical connection and see if she can help him some of his questions.

[Kontact]

"No, we haven't met, and, I suppose, based on the direction of your walk, that's something for another day.  Maybe, when you're not too busy to enjoy yourself.  I'll make sure you get something enchanting.  So long, juggler."

Dizzy turns back to the bouncer.
"They all such stiffs back there?  I thought this place was supposed to be fun?  Only one I seen having a good time was that guy doing backflips on the dance floor, and it looks like he disappeared  some time while I was waiting around."  She drops her back against the wall on the opposite side of the rope from the bouncer.  "It's like I can't find a place where people live with the kind of urgency I grew up with - Where half the kids in your hood never make it to their teens.  I been knifed, raped by guards, and kicked the shit out of more times that I want to say, but these people wanna see me get drunk and wild before I'm good enough for their little fraternity?  I get wild, I will break a dude's jaw.  Then it's just more work for you.  I'd rather skip it, yeah?  You seem more interesting than any of them.  Maybe I'll see you later, after I wash the taste of douche out of my mouth."
With that parting word, Dizzy pushed off the wall and walked towards the door.

OK I want to reset the scene to make sure we all agree where everyone is at this point.

Dizzy is leaving the bar going into the parking lot
Rat is still hanging out in the bar though kind of just loitering around at the moment
Kickz is in the back alley perched up somewhere
Kage is a couple blocks away  we'll say in a stuffer shack parking lot having just checked himself over for nanos or RFID tags

Inside the bar the music starts to pick up and a couple more people are venturing out onto the dance floor now. A few guys are trying to imitate some of Kickz tamer moves and you expect that someone is going to do something stupidly beyond there ability and Doc Wagon will end up called out before the night is over.

The parking lot is fairly empty except for the elf who just left the bar. You kind of discretely watch him as you make your way to your car and he drives off. When he goes by the corner you see a couple gangers hanging out. Their Green and Silver colors glitter in the headlights as the sedan goes by. You see one of them talking on his commlink and the other is watching traffic going by.

<<@team: Looks like this Notalli guy has a gang tail.  If we want to use this 11 o'clock appointment as an in on McPherson, maybe we should make sure nothing happens to Notalli?  Smiley, you wanna talk to these guys?  You're good up close.  We'll cover you and I'll be your out.>>

Dizzy idled by the front door for a second, thinking about railing a line of betameth.

[Crossbow]

@team: What kind of talk you want me to have with them?  Friendly or bloody?

Smiley gets on his bike and idles down the stret in the direction of the elves.

[Blue]

(GM): You are correct about Rat - he was in the bar, hanging out and got scanned by McPherson.

Since everyone's headed out of the bar Rat will follow, hanging back for just a moment so that it's not *that* obvious that they are leaving together.

@Team: Smiley - If you're going to go talk to some gangers, hang out for just long enough that we can back you up.

[Loki]

@team: They could be his security, what's their flag? Who is Notalli, should I run his data down tonight? I'll move so I can flank if things get ugly. Getting instructions on the street corner from Smiley, Kage moves so that he's up the street behind them but out of sight, around the corner.

[Walks Through Walls]

As you are trying to decide who should approach the gangers and what the best approach is  you smell soy dogs and your mind wanders to where the nearest vendor might be. Then you watch a young ork walk up to them from down one of the side streets. He stuffs the last of the dog in his mouth and starts talking while still chewing. There is a brief conversation then it appears they give him something in a vial though you are too far away to tell exactly what happened.

You also notice that they haven't made any move to follow the elf that left the bar a little while ago.

<<@team: It's just a couple of punks.  I'll go see what's up.>>

Dizzy walked up the two guys.
"What up.  You guys working this corner?  Handling the money or the gear?"

[Walks Through Walls]

The one of the right looks down slightly  and smiles at you. You see that several of his teeth on the right side of his mouth are black and the smell tells you it has likely been months since he last brushed his teeth. He chuckles as if you just told a funny joke though his black eyes hold no mirth. His crew cut is too short to tell if it is brown or black. "Jacob, she thinks we are dealing. What you looking for? I'm sure I can take care of you."

He elbows his friend who is looking at you without emotion. You smell the scent of gun oil coming off him as you look over. He blinks his purple eyes waiting for your answer.

[Kontact]

"Well, if you got other biz, I  don't wanna step in it.  Just looking for an eight of betameth.  If you got a line on more, I'm not against a larger measurement, so long as I know your backers.  If you're moving more than candy, might even be more on the table.  "

"See, I just busted myself out of a Lone Star mental institution and I could use a new ID to get around in the central neighborhoods.  They seemed to think that I'm nothing more than a living weapon on the world.  Little brains.  You and I know better, right?"

[Walks Through Walls]

The one who has been talking says, "We don't deal in that. We got a better product. Tell you what girly I'll give you a free sample."
He pulls a vial in a pressure syringe and hands it to you. You notice his fingers on his left hand look like a couple have been broken several times and haven't quite healed correctly over the years.
The other ganger is watching the street as if he expects the sting to go down any second, but hasn't done anything to intervene. You watch his casual observation of the scene and know that he is either very stoned or very confident of his abilities.

[Boer_Kommando]

Boredom was quickly overtaking Kickz as he perched looking at nothing.

@Team: Yo' we leaving this locale or what? [Spying Dizzy and the Gangers]...What in Gaia is Diz doing?

[Kontact]

"Sample got a name?"

[Crossbow]

Smiley hangs a one eighty and heads back to the club.

@Team:  Why would we be leaving?  MacPherson is still inside.  You have been up there all of five minutes, what you gotta take a leak? 

Kage, get yourself where you can track the mark's vehicle when he leaves, and be ready to feed real time intel.  If this guy can fool cameras with his magic we are going to need to keep a REAL close eye on him.  Kickz, you are the only one he hasn't probably made, so you need to be ready to follow him.  When Dizzy is done with her business she can be ready to ride with Rat and try and track by magic.

Everybody cool?  I am gonna pull into the alley and if he pops out the back I am gonna put him on his ass.
