GET OUT!" * <Navajas> <c> "Pope, make your drone take point!" <Navajas> "Lets go, fast as we can" <GM> * The drone begins moving down the hall. * <GM> * You retrace your steps to the 200m air shaft. * <Navajas> "You say the 4th guy is dead?" <Nova> "Which 4th guy?" <Navajas> "..." <AnneMarie> "John" <GM> * Nova, it dawns on you that they'd be looking for Johnathan. * <Nova> "Oh, yes, he was quite dead last time I saw him." <Navajas> "K" <AnneMarie> "Is this rescue coming out of our pay?" <GM> * You all head towards the airshaft. Four orks come into view armed with SMG's. * <Two-ton> ((as much as a troll can duck)) <GM> * The drone dispatches two of them immediately. * <GM> * Anne and Glitch are armed with rifles. * <GM> * INIT! *

<GM> * No one falls. * <GM> * You all continue to climb -- no orks follow -- eventually reaching a maze of sewer tunnels. * <GM> * You stand there in bewilderment as Embers blows past you all. "Follow me." * <Glitch> "Here, lemme help you." <GM> * Tony, Grubber the troll helps you. * <Two-ton> ((I like how these guys who don't even know me, help me.)) <GM> * You see light at the end of the tunnel and all emerge out into the fresh air. * <GM> * You step out of the tunnel onto the muddy shores of one of the Seattle Sound's many inlets. * <GM> * A VTOL hovers underneath a nearby bridge and moves up to the shore, pushing water vapor across everyone.. * <GM> * It's dawn. And the sun actually looks like it might break the clouds. * <Nova> "Nice weather, huh..?" *cough* <Navajas> "Have to remember never to go down there again..." <Two-ton> "Beautiful." <GM> * The VTOL pulls up and a hatch opens, lowering a pad to the shoreline. "Welcome back to the real world," says Pope's voice from invisible speakers. * <Glitch> "We gotta get these two to a street doc, fast." <Nova> "Hey, nice to hear you." <GM> * "Get in the fucking VTOL, kid," says Embers." * <GM> * Judas says, "Where the hell is Fenix?" * <Navajas> "Fuckin Wendigo killed him... about the time this bitch shot me" <Nova> "Fenix died.." <GM> * "..." * <GM> * "Damn," says Judas, "...I gotta tell Nikky." * <GM> * He gets aboard. *

<Fenix-RIP> ((No you dont)) <GM> ((ROFL)) <Two-ton> ((I still think its kinda funny that you are letting giant mystery troll wearing armor climb aboard)) <Glitch> ((hey, you helped us, we help you)) <GM> ((they already said you were with them, and they were paid to rescue 4)) <Fenix-RIP> ((ouch))

<GM> * The VTOL pulls away. * <Glitch> "I can't believe we really made it..." <Nova> "You're not the only one. What the hell was that thing back there anway.?" <Glitch> "I'm not sure i want to find out." <Navajas> "It must have been a wendigo, I've heard stories about them" <Two-ton> "I never thought I was going to get out of there." <GM> * On board sits an older man in a wife beater. * <GM> * He tells you to call him 'Doc Johnson' and he begins with the most wounded person first, laying his hands upon them. * <GM> * He goes to Tony first. * <GM> * Embers says, "Do the elf." * <GM> * He stops and turns to you, Nova. * <GM> * He frowns. * <Nova> "Yeah, I know.." <Two-ton> "Why him?" <GM> * Embers just sits there and watches you, Tony. Anne, you're cold as hell in your bikini. * <Two-ton> "Whatever, just make sure I get my turn." <AnneMarie> "..Anywone got a jacket?" <GM> * Anne, Roy gets up and limps over to a locker. He hands you a jacket and a wool blanket. * <GM> * Nova, your wounds begin to itch. * <GM> * The wounds begin to close as Doc Johnson's brow breaks into a sweat. * <Two-ton> "Thanks for haulin me out of that place, I know I wasn't the one you were paid to save." <Navajas> "Sure, no prob, couldn't leave someone to be slaughtered down there" <Glitch> "Hey, you scratched our backs, we scratched yours." <GM> * Embers, a stocky amerindian man with buzzcut salt and pepper hair, looks at you, Tony. Judas, a large, bald human with tattoos on his skull does as well. * <GM> * You all get healed by Doc in turn. * <Navajas> "That's better..." <GM> * The last person Doc heals is Embers, who peels away a plate of armor on his left side, revealing a gaping chest wound. * <Nova> "Thanks Doc, I know how hard it can get to heal me." <GM> * Doc Johnson has two black eyes and a nosebleed when he's done with you all. He mumbles something about going lay down, and departs to another area of the cabin. * <Navajas> "Gets sweaty in those helmets" <Glitch> "Gah...I might as well forget about becoming a shadowrunner....I lost my deck and my credstick's empty..." <GM> * Nova, you're at 3L. Same for you, Tony. * <GM> * Glitch, the short amerindian man picks up a duffle bag. "Thought you might want this." * <GM> * He tosses it to you. * <GM> * He leans back and clutches his side. * <Glitch> "I can't believe it! MY DECK!" <Navajas> "Your what?" <Glitch> "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouvthankyou..." <Nova> "Umm.. that bag was in the van.. do you know what happened to the wreckage?" <GM> * Nova, Arden speaks to you. "Yeah, your van...We picked that up." * <GM> * Roy smiles at you, Anne, "Of course, sweetheart." * <Nova> "Thanks, thank you for everything." <GM> * He holds up a hand. * <Nova> ?to me? <GM> * Yes. * <GM> * Roy looks a little surpised. * <Nova> ((people change..)) <GM> * No, he looks suprised because he was holding up his hand to silence you. * <Nova> ((hehe..)) <GM> * "You saved my family... I consider this a debt repaid." * <Nova> "So it is." <Navajas> "No worries, just try not to do it again" <GM> * Judas looks down at the deck of the VTOL. * <GM> * "Damn, Brillo..." He pulls a flask from his armor and takes a long pull. * <GM> * "One for me..." He pours a little onto the non-slick deck of the VTOL, "And one for my homeys." * <GM> * Grubber seconds that with his bottle of tequila. * <Navajas> "Don't you know how to use any real weapons? Like a sword or an axe?" <Nova> "Who, me?" <Navajas> "Nah, this guy that shot me" <Glitch> "No." <Glitch> "I can barely defend myself in a fight." <Navajas> "Too bad" <Glitch> I'm not a killing machine like you guys, I'm a.....I used to be a corporate decker." <Glitch> "Now I guess I'm just a decker..." <Two-ton> "Just a two bit criminal like the rest of us" <Navajas> "Stick to deckin' then..." <Glitch> "Apparently, that's not going to be enough if I want to stay alive." <Navajas> "I ain't 2 bit... haven't you noticed?" <Two-ton> "Three bits tops." <Navajas> "Anyone know if ork blood is more acidic or something... I need to clean half of these." <GM> * "Who are you, anyway?" Judas asks you, Tony. * <Two-ton> "Wondering when you would ask" <Two-ton> "Name is Tony Two-ton, or just Tony, or just Two-ton for that matter" <GM> * "..." * <GM> * "Cute." He tips his flask to you. * <Two-ton> "Thats what the girls say" <Two-ton> "I met the elf and the whiny one when they were in a cell with me, and the girl in the bikini was going to kill the whiny one, so thats when I met her" <Two-ton> "I was on a job from a Mr. Johnson (maybe you know him) and it all went south, so south infact that I ended up underground with this lot." <GM> * Judas nods to Navajas. * <Navajas> "He was with them... the 4th guy died before we got there." <Nova> "He actually died in the van, haven't you found him?" <GM> * "Found who?" asks Arden. "Johnathan?" * <Nova> "Yes, John, he died in the accident." <Nova> "He was badly messed up." <Navajas> "Bah, gunz..." <GM> * Navajas, Judas looks at you. "Don't start, redskin." * <GM> * Arden frowns. * <GM> * "I thought Johnathan was with you?" asks Embers. * <Nova> "He wasn't, he died in the crash, I've seen the body." <GM> * Embers: "Oh." * <GM> * Arden: "Looters I guess." * <GM> * "..." * <GM> * "Let me pull that out of my ass," says Arden. * <Two-ton> ((so where are we exactly?)) <GM> * In a VTOL flying over Seattle. Piloted by Pope the security rigger, you presume. * <Two-ton> "So where are we headed?" <GM> * You are all taken to an undisclosed location with showers and cots for you to rest on. There are also clean clothes. * <GM> * You rest and recouperate for a day and then are taken to the back room of the Silver Tongue, where this whole debacle began. * <Nova> ?how many days passed? <GM> * The current date is February 3rd. * <GM> * You were held prisoner for almost three weeks. * <Glitch> ((goddamn)) <GM> * Your first warm meal tastes incredible, even if it is soy-based. * <GM> * Glitch, it's the same as you left it. *
 * Glitch lets himself collapse, finally relaxing
 * AnneMarie plops down in a corner and hugs herself
 * Two-ton stares at Embers then lays his head back
 * Nova has only pants and boots on him
 * Navajas fingers his bullet wound, waiting his turn.
 * AnneMarie slips it on and wraps the blanket around herself tightly, "Thanks."
 * Nova refrains from scratching them
 * Nova looks down on his chest
 * Two-ton says to whomever is listening.
 * Navajas almost forgot he had a helmet on and rips it off.
 * Nova breaths easily again
 * Two-ton takes off the armor that he got off the dead troll once he is healed.
 * Navajas removes his beanie, revealing a shaved head with a tattoo on the top. The tattoo is a pinwheel shape of three knives with curved blades, hilts together in the center and blades pointing outward.
 * Navajas itches his head
 * Glitch 's jaw drops as he catches the bag.
 * Glitch hugs his bag tightly
 * Two-ton smiles at Glitch's excitement, then turns to the others.
 * AnneMarie looks over at Roy "Are you ok?"
 * Nova shakes his hand
 * Navajas looks around
 * Glitch turns to Navajas. "Sorry about that arm..."
 * AnneMarie looks around at everyone before putting her head down and resting her eyes.
 * Navajas is talking to Glitch
 * Two-ton rests a bit, being glad to be out of that place
 * Two-ton smiles
 * Nova sits silently
 * Navajas pulls out 3 blades and toys with them in one hand
 * Two-ton chuckles
 * Navajas puts the blades away and starts looking at the 2 swords he got off of Fenix
 * Two-ton extends a hand to the man
 * Two-ton smiles
 * Nova frowns
 * Navajas mumbles in japanese
 * AnneMarie yawns and lifts her head "That reminds me.. are we still getting paid?"
 * Two-ton hopes there are troll sized clothes when he gets out of the shower
 * Nova takes a pair of levi's and a t-shirt, black or gray preferably
 * Glitch stays in the shower well over an hour, trying to get the stench of the underground off of him.
 * Two-ton does some excersises when he wakes up and enjoys the cleanliness of being out of that dank pit
 * Nova eats it anyway
 * Navajas plays with the hole in his coat.
 * Two-ton uses very good manners when he eats, not the ravenous beast that was in the prison.
 * Glitch realizes he hasn't checked his deck's condition since he got it back, and takes it out of its bag to take a look
 * Glitch puts it back in the bag after a satisfactory inspection and begins to eat again, pausing occasionally to glance lovingly at the bag.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THE AFTERPARTY ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <GM> * So later on.... Nova, Tony, Anne, Navajas, and Glitch find themselves back in the conference room of the "Silver Tongue". * <GM> * Arden sits and Embers stands. They are flanked by Judas and Grubber. * <GM> * Arden speaks first, "Well, I'm sure some of you might have some questions?" * <GM> * "For either of us," adds Embers. * <Nova> "Just one, how did you find us?" <GM> * Nova, Embers speaks to you. "Pope knew where you had been last. That's where we found the wreckage." * <GM> * "I'd been keeping my eyes on you all, so the news got to me too." * <GM> * Arden nods, "I got contacted by an ork about a week ago, he dropped Anne's name and showed us to the entrance." * <GM> * Arden: "I really wasn't going to pursue the matter, but Roy here insisted. And I owed him a favor or two." * <Nova> ((one big happy loving family)) <Two-ton> "So who put up the money for this?" <Glitch> "Who cares? We're out!" <GM> * Arden looks over at Embers. * <GM> * "Oh, that reminds me." Embers tosses a credstick to Navajas, Judas, and Grubber. * <GM> * 100% genuine credstick. * <GM> * 15,000¥ as agreed. * <GM> * "Tony, I guess you just happened to make the right friends," says Embers. * <Two-ton> "Yeah....it seems that is the case indeed." <GM> * Anne, probably not... * <GM> * But at least you're fully clothed! * <Two-ton> "So tell me..." <Two-ton> "The man who set you guys up with all this..." <Two-ton> "He pay well?" <Nova> "We were supposed to snatch this guy and some info.. Glitch, do you have any information for them?" <GM> * Nova, Arden looks as puzzled by your question as Embers is by Tony's. * <GM> * Arden: "Nova, you were paid to liberate him. He paid me to pay you to get him out of there." * <Glitch> "Right." <GM> * Embers: "What exactly are you talking about, Tony?" * <Two-ton> "Just wondering if there would ever be a need for a big boy like me on a job?" <Navajas> "Yeah, so, will you be needing us anymore?" <GM> * "No, Navajas, you are free to go," says Arden. * <GM> * Judas and Grubber exchange looks and leave. * <GM> * "Hey, nice tits, Anne-Marie," adds Judas as the door closes. * <GM> * Embers speaks up, "I wouldn't mind any of you staying." * <Two-ton> "To what end?" <GM> * He looks from Nova to Tony and back, questioningly. * <GM> * "Right," says Arden. He leaves through a back door. It is now the four of you and Embers alone in the conference room. * <GM> * Embers: "What happened down there?" * <Glitch> "It was hell." <Nova> "Do you want the whole story or just the last minutes?" <GM> * "Whatever you feel like telling me, Nova," says Embers as he has a seat in the vacated chair. * <Nova> "Well, after the crash I started recovering everyone from the wreckage when some orks came and put me out." <Nova> "We were taken to a cell, deep underground, with several other men." <Nova> "Then, they forced us to fight against each other, which was mostly like training your moves against a living opponent." <Glitch> "Roy! I have to see Roy!" <GM> * Embers blinks. "I'm...right here..." * <AnneMarie> "sshh not you, his crazy orc friend." <GM> * Embers still looks confused. * <Nova> "Finally we were taken.. Can I finish?" <Glitch> "I'm sorry, I don't mean you, I'm talking about a my friend that got hurt because of her." *points at Anne* <Nova> "Can't you two deal with this later, I'm telling the man a story here." <AnneMarie> "His crazy orc guard friend named Roy who got in the way when we tried rescuing him." <GM> * "I...see..." * <Nova> "Can I continue now?" <GM> * Embers steeples his fingers, "Continue, Nova." * <Nova> "Thank you." <Glitch> "He was doing his damn JOB and he could have been reasoned with if YOU hadn't gone berserk on his nads!" <GM> * Pope's voice comes from the speakers, "Can it, Oscar...Roy is on sick leave recovering from his flesh wound. Renraku gave him a Commendation for Bravery and a raise." * <GM> * "So enough bitching," finishes the rigger. * <Nova> "So, we were taken to their.. well, leader of some sort, who told us basicly that he's the ruler of their *New* Underground, which meant he made the surface dwellers fight in front of his own people." <Glitch> "Really? That's great, he always deserved a raise!" <Nova> "CAN I finish?" <Glitch> "Thanks for the update, wherever the hell you are." <Glitch> "And don't call me Oscar anymore." <Glitch> "I'm gonna shut up now." <Nova> "GOOD." <GM> * Roy Embers looks impatiently at Glitch. * <Nova> "And then they made us fight that thing. It was big and ugly, and regenerated, even immune to poison." <Nova> "And then the cavalry arrived, and the rest you know." <AnneMarie> "Geez you guys had it easy while we were staying there.." <GM> * Embers: "What 'thing'?" * <AnneMarie> "An abominable snowman" <GM> * "..." * <GM> * "A Yetti?" * <Glitch> "The old guy in the copter said it could be a wendigo." <Nova> "Yetties are supposed to not exist, so I've heard." <Nova> "A wending-o?" <GM> * Embers: "Oh, they exist. But they don't regenerate....I think you're talking about a 'wen-di-go'..." * <Nova> "wen-di-go.. whatever it was it died eventually, we chopped it pretty good." <AnneMarie> "Thanx to me" <Glitch> "If I never see one of those again it'll be too fraggin' soon." <Nova> "You know.. nevermind." <Glitch> "Shut up, slitch." <AnneMarie> "it only got it's head sliced cause i shot it in the face!" <Two-ton> "Well, I think I am going to head back home, its been a while since I have seen it." <Nova> "It got shot several times, I think it was cutting his spine that killed it, he fell apart when I stabbed him." <Glitch> "What Nova said." <GM> * Embers speaks through all of your bickering: "When an ork is infected with HMHVV he goes through a tranformation...Into a Wendigo." * <AnneMarie> "...." <AnneMarie> "thats not good..." <GM> * "It isn't good..." * <GM> * He watches Tony. * <Two-ton> "I hope to see you all again, but if I don't, it was a pleasure" <AnneMarie> "No drugs for you tony!" <GM> * Embers: "Have a seat, Mr. Two-Ton." * <Nova> "Sit Tony, this might pay-off." <AnneMarie> "Hmmmmm... now that you mention it, you did get a little INTIMATE with the monster didn't you?" <Two-ton> "...Well since you put it that way" <Nova> "This infections.. it's not spreading, is it?" <GM> * Embers: "How many of you were attacked by the Wendigo?" * <Nova> "I was, and Tony over there.." <Two-ton> "Well I was all over it" <Glitch> "I was too far away for it." <Nova> "Those wounds we had when you came for us was solely from it's claws." <GM> * "..." * <Glitch> "Yeah, it almost tore them apart." <Glitch> "Was scary drek." <AnneMarie> "I got out smellling like flowers." <Glitch> "That's kinda funny, coming from an ELF." <GM> * Embers: "So just you and Tony, correct?" * <Nova> "Well there where some orks and humans who got torn apart by the creature, if that counts." <AnneMarie> "Maybe we should get you guys tested.." <Nova> "What do you mean 'tested'?" <Two-ton> "Want me to pee into a cup?" <Two-ton> "Because I kinda need to go anyways" <GM> * "No, a blood test." Embers produces a cell phone and makes a call. * <GM> * He speaks in low tones. * <Nova> "I don't want to turn into a damn wendigo." <AnneMarie> "Are you a troll?" <Two-ton> "Nah, he isn't pretty like me, can't you tell the difference?" <Nova> "Eeer... okay so what does an ELF turn into?" <GM> * Embers is on the phone. He hangs up. "A banshee." * <Nova> "A what?" <Two-ton> "I dunno, but it sounds bad" <GM> * "Elves become banshees... or worse." * <Nova> "Worse?!" <GM> * Embers: "I have someone on his way here, now. We can get these tests done." * <Two-ton> "And if we test positive?" <GM> * He puts his briefcase on the table. * <GM> * "Hmm?" * <AnneMarie> "I get your credsticks." <Nova> "What if they come out positive, can this be cured?" <Two-ton> "I mean is there a cure, or will I be tearing this place apart when I turn Wendigo?" <GM> * Embers: "If you're infested then it's up to you. If it's caught early enough gene therapy can help you." * <Nova> "Perfect." <Two-ton> "How early is early enough?" <GM> * "I'm not sure...Maybe 24 hours? 36 maybe." * <Two-ton> "Well your man better hurry then." <Nova> "Huh, we're running out of time then." <Nova> "What happens to your concience when you turn into such a creature?" <GM> * Embers: "Who knows." * <Nova> "Huh." <GM> * "Who's to say what happens to your conscience," clarifies Roy. * <GM> * You all wait for about 45 minutes.... There is a knock at the door and it opens. * <GM> * An older man with red hair and a van dyke looks in. * <GM> * "Oh, good," says Patch. He enters. * <Nova> "Hey Patch." <GM> * "Oh, hi..." * <GM> * He looks at Tony, Nova, Anne, and Glitch. He then looks at Embers." * <GM> * Embers nods. * <GM> * "Patch is my name," he puts a med kit on the table, "Medicine's my game. I'll be administering blood tests for...." * <GM> * Embers points to Tony and Nova. * <GM> * "...The both of YOU." * <Two-ton> "Yeah, that seems to be the case" <GM> * Patch: "NOW..." * <GM> * He draws out two needles, takes one and approaches the troll. * <GM> * He sticks you, Tony, at the same time handing you a small white business card, "Nova, right? Here's my card." * <Two-ton> "Actually the name's Tony" <GM> * "Tony, that's what I said." * <GM> * "Keep still." * <Glitch> ((lol)) <GM> * Patch: "Like I said, Tony, my card." * <GM> * He finishes taking your blood. * <GM> * "There". * <Two-ton> "Thank you sir" <GM> * He produces a lollypop from his breast pocket and pops it into your mouth, wrapper and all. * <Glitch> ((ROFL)) <GM> * He goes over to Nova, and sticks him between the webbing of his fingers. * <GM> * Patch: "You haven't called in a while, Nova." * <Nova> "I was busy.. and that's good we don't meet too often." <GM> * He shrugs, "Good for you, maybe." * <GM> * "Where's Johnathan?" * <Nova> "Oh him.. he died." <GM> * "Oh, that's too bad...I just did some work on him, too." * <Nova> "He liked it, never had too much time to practice it, but he liked it..." <GM> * Patch slips a card into your palm as he removes the needle. * <GM> * He turns to Anne, "You are...?" * <AnneMarie> "Disease free." <GM> * "Nice to meet you. Name's Patch. My card." He slips you and Glitch one as well. * <Glitch> "Thanks, it should come in handy soon enough, with my change of careers and stuff..." <GM> * He goes over to his medkit and fiddles around. "Alrighty...Should be about a minute..." * <Two-ton> "So can you test the blood right here?" <GM> * He looks down and seems to be reading something. * <Two-ton> "So, how soon will we need treatment if we have it Patch?" <GM> * Patch: "Treatment? Oh, immediately." * <GM> * He gives you a fast smile. * <GM> * He reaches over and produces a snub-nosed revolver held in his palm, he puts it on the tabletop and gives you both another fast smile. * <Nova> "You are not going to use that, are you?" <GM> * Patch looks back down and fiddles with some more things. * <Two-ton> "So whats it say?" <GM> * "And...." * <GM> * "We're done." * <GM> * He looks down at his screen, then back up at you, Nova. * <GM> * He looks over at you, Tony. * <GM> * "..." * <GM> * Patch: "All clean." * <Two-ton> "That's great to hear." <GM> * He slips the gun back into his medical kit and messes with some more things, then shuts the top. * <Glitch> "So they're both negative? That's great." <GM> * Patch: "Neither of them have HMHVV...But you, Anne....You have ghonorrhea." * <GM> * He tosses you a bottle of pills. * <Glitch> ((ROFLMAO)) <AnneMarie> "..." <GM> * Patch: "Take those twice a day with food for a week. You'll be fine." * <GM> * Embers chuckles. * <Two-ton> "Well since I'm clean I guess I will return home now." <AnneMarie> "I told you you guys had it easy with your little 'Mortal combat'" <GM> * "Thank you, Patch," says Embers. Patch nods and departs. * <Glitch> "Take care, tiny." <Two-ton> "You too whiny, and it was nice meeting all of you." <GM> ((some team )) <Two-ton> ((I figured someone would tell me to stay)) <Two-ton> ((or something)) <GM> * Nova, Embers tosses you a set of keys. "She's parked out back." * <GM> * Embers: "You kids stay out of trouble." * <GM> * Anne, it's an antibiotic. * <Nova> "Parked? Last time I saw it it was.. well, a wreck." <GM> * Embers: "It wasn't that bad. She doesn't have any rear doors and we had to replace a tire. The suspension's a little fragged and she needs a ton of bodywork, too, but nothing that can't be hammered out." * <Two-ton> "Until our paths cross again." <Nova> "We'll call you Tony, you proved usefull." <AnneMarie> "I think i'll take a taxi..." <Glitch> "Personally, I'd rather have what you have than do what I had to do." <Glitch> "But I sure am glad I didn't get it." <GM> * Nova, you realize you don't HAVE Tony's number. * <Nova> ((oh.. YEAH.. fuck)) <GM> * Glitch, you realize you have no place to live. * <GM> * Nova, you don't have Tony's number and he's just stepping out the door... * <GM> * And Anne, you have the clap. * <Glitch> "Hrm.." <Nova> "Tony, do you have a number we could call if we needed your assitance?" <Two-ton> "Oh sure" <Two-ton> "Lemme get yours too while we are at it." <Glitch> "Hey Nova...." <Glitch> "Mind if I crash at your place a while? I have nowhere to live anymore.." <Nova> "Glitch, I don't really own a place.. I just stay here and there... you might be better off in a hotel." <Glitch> "I see..." <GM> * Roy Embers: "So let me get this right...You have a thief, two muscleboys, and a decker?" * <GM> * "All you kids need is a magician and maybe a rigger, and you could make an actual Shadowrunning team." * <AnneMarie> "Who's a thief??" <GM> * He looks at you, Anne. * <Two-ton> "And I don't really like muscleboy" <Two-ton> "Something more elegant perhaps" <Two-ton> "Face reconstructor, organ rearanger, etc." <Glitch> ((lol)) <GM> * Embers: "We'll call a spade a spade...In both your cases." * <Nova> "A mage.." <Two-ton> "Glitch if you really need a place, you can stay with me, but I like to keep it clean" <Glitch> "That'd be wiz, thanks." <GM> ((lol)) <Nova> "Anyone of you need a lift somwhere?" <Two-ton> "Actually that would be grand, since I don't have my wheels here or anything" <Nova> "Glitch, Anne?" <Two-ton> "And if anyone else needs a place to stay there is always floor room at my place" <Glitch> "You got wheels, roomie?" <Two-ton> "Of course. I am a working man" <Glitch> "Wiz, let's roll!" <AnneMarie> "A taxi will do fine" <Nova> "Suit yourself, Anne.." <GM> * Anne, you realize you don't have any cred on you at all...And there's not a cab in Seattle that'd take you on 'your word'. * <GM> * Nova, the rear driver's side is dented up, and the whole passenger side is scraped and pocked. You have no rear doors, and the tire is bald. * <Nova> "I wonder where they got that tire.."
 * AnneMarie sighs. "I need a vacation.."
 * AnneMarie asks, "And you both loved me to bits and couldn't imagine leaving me there, right?"
 * Nova nods to Arden. "That's all I wnted to know."
 * Navajas takes out a throwing knife and plays with it
 * Glitch mock-coughs "*cough-nadkicker-*cough*"
 * Navajas tests it with his teeth like a gold coin
 * Navajas checks how much is on it
 * Navajas tucks it away
 * AnneMarie wonders if she has enough to get new equipment and pay her due rent.
 * AnneMarie sighs
 * Nova remembers something
 * Navajas nods.
 * Navajas puts his knife away and heads for the door.
 * AnneMarie mutters
 * Two-ton shrugs and gets ready to leave
 * Nova stays.
 * AnneMarie yawns and sits on the corner of the table, stretching.
 * Glitch jumps up.
 * Nova rolls his eyes
 * AnneMarie shushes Glitch and plops down in a seat to add commentary to Nova's story.
 * Nova takes a deep breath and looks at the ceiling
 * Glitch shudders
 * Nova finishes his story and leans back
 * Glitch clears his throat in a "shut up bitch and make me a sandwich" kinda way
 * Nova gives a more detailed description
 * Glitch shudders again
 * Nova glares at Anne
 * Nova listens closely
 * Two-ton gets up to leave.
 * Two-ton grins at Anne's remark.
 * Two-ton sits back down
 * Nova looks at Anne.
 * Nova looks back at Embers.
 * Nova tries to remember.. "Yes, that is correct."
 * Two-ton nods
 * AnneMarie eyes Nova and Tony...
 * Nova looks at Anne.
 * Nova smiles to Tony a bit
 * Nova sounds worried.
 * AnneMarie examines the briefcase...
 * Nova takes a deep breath and relaxes; waiting for the 'someone'.
 * Two-ton twiddles his thumbs and stares at the ceiling
 * Nova waits quietly for the blood test
 * Nova looks.
 * Nova nods
 * Two-ton rolls up his sleeve to expose a good sticking point
 * Two-ton points to Nova. "He's Nova."
 * Two-ton reads the card and slips it into his pocket.
 * AnneMarie leans on the table and dosen't watch, never having liked needly things much.
 * Two-ton rolls back down his sleeve
 * Nova puts out his hand knowing Patch will find a space between his armor plates
 * Two-ton spits it into his hand and looks down at it, then up quizzically at Patch.
 * Nova sighs
 * Nova takes it
 * AnneMarie takes it and tucks it away. "Likewise."
 * Two-ton glances from the gun to Patch and back again...
 * AnneMarie scoots her chair out of the way..
 * AnneMarie phews.
 * Nova makes a slight sign of relief
 * Two-ton sighs with relief
 * Nova stands
 * Two-ton fights back his laughter
 * AnneMarie hangs her head and sighs again..
 * Glitch doesn't even try to hold back and breaks into uncontrollable laughter.
 * Two-ton stands up
 * Nova catches them.
 * AnneMarie is busy inspecting the pills
 * Two-ton motions as if he is tipping his hat.
 * Glitch wipes away tears of laughter as he collects himself.
 * Two-ton ducks through the door and heads out.
 * AnneMarie waves to Tony.
 * Glitch barely manages to burst into laughter again
 * Two-ton is walking out, but he doesn't walk too fast
 * Two-ton looks around for a piece of paper and a pen and writes it down
 * Nova gives Tony an LTG
 * Nova looks at Roy, "Well.. yes, basicly."
 * AnneMarie makes a face
 * AnneMarie looks at Glitch, "Did you ever get those teeth replaced?"
 * Nova socializes.
 * Glitch looks at Tony.
 * Two-ton looks at Glitch
 * Nova walks out to the back after saying 'bye' to Embers
 * Two-ton walks out to where he heard the van was parked
 * Glitch too.
 * Nova inspects his van

---

<GM> * Embers sits there and looks at you, Anne. * <GM> * Anne, Embers shakes his head. "I have plans, dear...And you have three very capable young men out back with a van." * <GM> * He hugs you back, "Tell Nova that you're invited for dinner any time." * <GM> * "...And bring those other two with you." *
 * AnneMarie turns to Roy with a pouty face, "Can you help a girl out?"
 * AnneMarie sighs and gives Roy a big hug, "See you later, say hi to your family for me."

---

<Nova> ((the 3 other costly runflats are okay?)) <GM> * More or less. * <GM> * You have no more seats in the back either. The corner where John was killed is also shredded slightly, although someone did a little bit of a weld job on it, it seems. * <Nova> ((so the van has only two front bucket seats, otherwise it's bare metal)) <GM> * Nova, she sputters to life. * <Nova> ?How's the engine running? <GM> * A little rough, but nothing a tune up won't fix. * <Glitch> "Hmm..." <Nova> "Well, it looks driveable, more or less." <Glitch> "Hey...maybe i could come up with some wiz stuff for the van..." <Nova> ((There was a first aid station in the back of the van, what happened to it?)) <GM> * It's intact. It's on the passenger side. The driver's rear was affected by the rocket blast. * <GM> * Nova, as you let the engine warm up Anne comes outside. * <Nova> "You forgot something?" <Glitch> "It seems we're the ones stuck with you..." <Nova> "Death Chariot.. I like that name." <Two-ton> "Get it painted on the side..." <Nova> "Hey, I'm doing my groceries in this thing, I won't paint 'death' all over it." <Nova> "Home it is Anne, we don't have any cash." <Nova> "Okay, grab onto something everyone." <Glitch> "How's about you take your pretty lil' elf legs and WALK home? If I never see you again it'll be too soon." <GM> * Glitch, not 48 hours ago, this woman spared your life. * <GM> * You pull the Death Chariot out into the street, your suspension grinding and grunting. * <GM> * You all drive back into the free world...As Glitch and Anne bicker like children. * <GM> * Nova, you return to the garage in Redmond where you and John spent countless hours working on the "Van of Idiocy". The sun sets tonight without him to keep you company. *
 * Two-ton climbs in through the back and makes himself comfortable
 * Nova hops into the drivers seat, starts up and revs the engine
 * AnneMarie nods and waves, going out to find the others.
 * Nova eyes her.
 * Two-ton is in back and can't see anything
 * AnneMarie sighs and looks the van over, "It seems i'm stuck with you and the death chariot again"
 * AnneMarie sighs and climbs in somewhere. "Just take me home, or pay for my cab ride"
 * Two-ton laughs.
 * Nova takes her onto the street
 * Nova gets to Anne's place first, then drives Tony and Glitch where they want and finally gets into one of his hideouts.
