"This number never changes." * <GM> * Embers: "Consider this an act of trust." * <Nova_> "Seeing what you can just dispense out of your little armory, I think any help that you can provide is invaluable." <GM> * He laughs. "I like my weapons where they are, thank you." * <GM> * "Don't abuse this...I'm a family man now." * <AnneMarie> "Well, I could use someone to have dinner with every once in a while..." :/ <GM> * He grins, "We'd be delighted to have you, Anne-Marie." * <GM> * "Anyway, don't dispense of this number. And don't make me feel like I've made a mistake in sharing it with you by abusing the...privilege." * <GM> * You chit chat some more and have a few drinks. * <GM> * You have an enjoyable evening and the couple shoes you out around 12:30am. * <GM> * Both of you take 8 karma. * <GM> * Anne, you can now pay your rent. * <AnneMarie> lol <AnneMarie> (yay :P) <GM> * Add 'Roy "Burning" Embers (Dock Owner/Ex-Shadowrunner)' to your contact list. *
