@Andromeda"Can Habu's kitchen make us some popcorn?"

yep it can, microwave is standard in the moving houses, and Habu is a luxurious one.

Damnit, have to admit that at the moment I have no idea what to do, other than just have lunch

Asking for a nearby bathroom for a diaper change won't get us into the hotel itself... Could ask if I'm allowed to take a look around, but that's a bit weird. Might disguise it as interest in the hotel's architecture or something if it's an old/chique building.

a) The drone might see Aki at the restaurant, then we can time it so that you run into him somewhere.

b) We can fake a call from your Shiawase House Bank, telling Silk that her assitent run into some trouble (car crash, shadowrunners, spontaneous ignition, etc.) which is why b.a) nobody called the current hotel and also b.b) Silk's cover doesn't have a hotel reservation --> ask in the current for a room as a backup in case her former hotel hasn't any room left by now.

c) If we don't see Aki at all, just ask for him at the reception and leave him a message. And blame your assistant that Aki wasn't informed of your comming.

d) Allow LJ to start shooting.

e) Ask Hank to enter the hotel and start a fight with LJ. That should be interesting at the very least

The assistant thing is a good idea, but we don't have much people available  that be good for this kind of thing I think...

[Larzarus]

What kind of people do we need, except for Silk? The assistent is dead or something near.

[Xzylvador]

Something like that was what Silk was going to say if they'd mentioned not having a reservation for Oren.
That option's still open later

Gotta love Google translate:
Did you mean: 疲れた
And then clicking it, it works...

Hummmm closest I got is Illegal Fight Clubs :-s

[Larzarus]

Maybe you notice some notorious gamblers among those Japanese who often visits the Clubs? Or do you mean Fight Club just fighting and no gambling on the Fights itself?

[Artighur]

I mean Fight Clubs as an Illegal gambling activity where Hank is mostly an attraction and not really a customer

[farothel]

I have gambling and mercenary units.  I doubt any of those will work (and I sincerely hope my insect spirit knowledge doesn't work either).

Sorry I'm being so slow, busy at work and even busier at home...
I'm thinking the IT guys are trying to block my access to this site too; I spotted an editted host file redirecting shadowrun4.com to localhost, but they put it in the wrong directory. *shrug* But if they continue trying...

Not sure we should be acting out each and every line though. Might be a way to write things (and combining with rolls) so they can be sped up a bit...

[Larzarus]

Then give us a summary what you are going to do. I will write a short IC post right now, but send Space only observe the commlinks and waits what Silk is up to.

[Xzylvador]

For now, observation. Act normal, look around. If there's really nothing special to see, that's that. She's not going to do anything risky here, inside a well secured place with half of the team outside.
Might try to find some excuse to have a look inside the hotel part if you guys thinks that could be worth something, but if that doesn't go easily she'll drop it and just go.

[Larzarus]

I think, priority is to make contact with Aki (either in the restaurant or by leaving a message at the reception) and only second, to find thinks out about the hotel itself. The very top thing is to find the location of the illegal casino, but I don't see how we find that in the the restaurant.
