 *** GAME ON** *

 * It's your typical Thursday afternoon in Seattle. Grey, overcast skies, and a light drizzle coating everything in an oily slickness. *  * Where do each of you stay? *  ((staying in an apartment near where lynnwood used to be))  ((going try get a nice apt if possible))  ((basicly 20 mins north of downtown))  ((forget everything you know about your home, johan....my seattle is diff than the real world's...old seattle is buried under rubble in SR anyway))  ((damn))  * Yenne, you're staying at a shithole motel while your nice apartment gets bombed to kill all the vermin living in there. *  * Johan, you're in a small flat in northern Downtown, which covers everything in Seattle if it isn't Renton, the Industrial Zone, the Docks, Everett, or the Barrens. *  ((sweet))  * You both recieve telecom calls around 2:30pm. A grisled troll tells you each that Mr. Smithers requests your presence tonight at around 7pm. He makes it clear that the meeting is not optional. *  * A job will be involved, and you will be paid accordingly. You're instructed to go to the "Pink Pussycat" club on the outskirts of Puyallup. The meeting is at 7pm. Give the bouncer your names and purpose to avoid any holdups, then ask the bartender for further information once inside. *  (( do me and Johan know each other?))  * No, you do not know one another. *  * Let me know what time you arrive, what gear you have on you, etc. * <GM> * Hold on there people. * <GM> * Johan, you arrive shortly before Yenne. The "Pink Pussycat" is a single-story strip club with a lot of pink neon. It's red plasticrete with the most noteable feature being a huge neon cat-woman with a tail that moves and an eye that winks sprawled out above the name of the club. The name is written in pink cursive neon. A large ork stands guard at the door, wearing a form-fitting black long-sleeve top that accents his muscled physique. * <GM> * He has blue denim jeans and sawed-off shotgun in a thong at his left thigh. * <GM> * Parking is available around back. * <GM> * Johan, as stated before, you arrive first and I presume park your bike in the designated lot. * <GM> * Five nuyen. * <GM> * You pay the toll and find a parking spot. * <GM> * Yenne, how are you arriving? * <Yenne> ((By cab)) <GM> * Cab runs you 35 nuyen and drops you off outside the club while unbeknownst to you, Johan parks his bike in back. * <GM> * Yenne: The ork watches you as you pay the cab driver. * <GM> * You stand there as the cab leaves...Doing nothing. The ork watches you. * <GM> * Yenne, the wind blows. The ork watches you. * <GM> * You continue to stand there. * <GM> * D-o s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g. * <GM> * "Yeah, so? They call me Harvey. Twenty nuyen cover-charge." * <GM> * Johan, as you round the corner you see the ork bouncer talking to a large human. * <GM> * He hands the ork some cash and goes inside. * <GM> * The ork looks at you. * <GM> * "Twenty nuyen cover, buddy." * <Johan> "iz shere a mishter Shmizehrs in zere?" <GM> ((LOL)) <Johan> ((he's german)) <GM> "This is his place, yeah." <GM> * "Who wants to know?" * <Johan> "He iz exzpechtink me." <GM> * "Your name?" * <Johan> "Johan Bukokenspielhoffernicht." <GM> * He looks at the back of his hand. * <GM> * Ork Bouncer: "Go on in, talk to the bartender." * <Johan> "Danke." <GM> * He goes back to watching the street. * <GM> * The inside of the Pink Pussycat is lit red. Various stages surround the place with strippers doing their things. Mostly skanky humans, a few elves, and a couple dwarves. There's an ork or two as well. * <GM> * Johan, the sleazy club music makes its way in past your tunes. * <GM> * There are a few bouncers inside. There is a bar with green neon trim along the Western wall. A skinny guy with a black ponytail stands behind it cleaning a glass. * <GM> * Johan, he looks up at you, "What'll it be, chummer?" * <Johan> "I am lookink for mishter shmizehrz." <GM> * "You're his seven o'clock, huh?" * <Johan> "Ja." <GM> * He points at a door across the room. "Go through there, second door on the left." * <Johan> "Danke." <GM> * Yenne, you see the bartender talking to an ork. * <Yenne> ((i wait for them to finsh talking)) <GM> * They have, the ork leaves. * <GM> * You approach the bartender. "What can I get for you?" he queries. * <Yenne> "I am here to see Mr. Smithers." <GM> * Yenne: He gives you the same info that he gave Johan. * . ..
 * Johan puts his guns back together, and goes to store his guns on his bike.
 * Johan arrives at 6:45 on his hog, with his submachine gun and pistol, opting to leave the big gun at home.
 * Yenne put his rifle under his bed and tapes it up underneath, and sets a small booby trap for if anyone touches it; and puts his hand gun under his jacket, making sure it's not seen.
 * Yenne arrives at the meeting by 6:50.
 * Yenne walks in the bar and tells the door man his name.
 * Johan pays.
 * Yenne is a tall Native American standing about 6’3 in height about 245 in weight, with long black hair, real deep black eyes, and a cinder tan skin tone. Wearing a long black trench coat, a wife beater T-shirt, a pair of army issued combat boots and a pair of black jeans. He hits like a truck and steps on anyone who ticks him off.
 * Yenne walks over to the door and tells the ork his name.
 * Yenne pays the 20
 * Johan is a large ork, looks closer to human than many (though he still has the signature orc tusks). Wears black, silver studded leather pants and jacket, a black shirt underneath, and black sunglasses. His hair is black and greasy, a pair of headphones on his head, with the wire disappearing into the jacket.
 * Johan goes up to the ork.
 * Johan looks at the ork.
 * Johan walks in, for free, and finds the bartender.
 * Johan bobs his head to the music piping in from his headphones.
 * Yenne looking for a bouncer.
 * Johan fights the urge to break out in off-key metal, and walks up to the bartender.
 * Yenne walks over that bar.
 * Johan goes through the door.

<GM> * Johan, a dwarven woman in a red bikini asks you if you want a private show. * <GM> * "What do you say, mister?" * <Johan> "I vill meet you later" <GM> * "Alright, sugar..Whatever." * . . . <Yenne> "And I'll have a bud ice too " <GM> * The bartender whips out a bottle of Soy-Bud Ice. * <GM> * He cracks it open and slips it to you on a napkin. * <GM> * "Eight bucks." * <GM> * He takes it and doesn't even offer change. * <GM> ((everything is soy in the future, real anything costs a lot of money))
 * Johan decides to put the prospect of killing something before the prospect of having sex with something tonight.
 * Johan goes through the second door on the left.
 * Yenne hand him 10
 * Yenne and walks through the door.

. . . <GM> * You both enter a short hallway and go through the appropriate door. Inside are two folding chairs and a synthetic oak desk. * <GM> * The desk is against the far wall, with an ork standing beside it. He's dressed in a maroon leather suit. A door is in the corner next to the desk, and an old-fashioned clock hangs on the wall. * <GM> * Yenne, you stand by the door as the ork you saw earlier has a seat. * <GM> * "Sit," says the maroon-suited Heavy next to the desk. * <GM> * The door opens up and a balding, middle-aged man with a pot-belly and a sweat-stained business shirt walks out. He's short, probably about 5'4" tall, wearing a tugged-on black tie and grey slacks. The sleeves of his business shirt are rolled up and a large stogie is clenched between his teeth. * <GM> * He steps behind the desk and looks at you both. * <GM> * "Well, is one of ya gonna close the fraggin' door? Or are you waiting for a written invitation?" * <GM> * The door to the outside hangs open. * <GM> * "WELL CLOSE THE FUCKING THING!" * <GM> * "Christ...Joe-Han, right?" * <GM> * He pronounces your name in an annoyingly incorrect fashion. * <Johan> "Ja." <GM> * He looks at Yenne. * <GM> "And Yenn-ie?" <Therror> ((can I.. join in?)) <GM> ((yes)) <GM> * The door creaks open. The man looks up. * <GM> * This fool walks in. * <GM> ((Nova, description...)) <GM> * "WHADDAYA THINK YER DOIN'?! YER FUCKIN' LATE," snarls Smithers, pointing a stubby finger. * <GM> * "SIT!" * <GM> * Smithers looks at his ork muscle in the suit. "Chair, now." * <GM> * The ork steps through the second door and brings out another folding chair. * <GM> * He sets it down for Nova. * <GM> * Nova, you recognize the ork as 'Mr. Hardcore' from your previous job, only he's traded in his silk suit for a leather ensemble in the same color. Freelance muscle for Johnsons on-the-go must be a busy gig. If he recognizes your face, he doesn't show it. * <GM> * Smithers: "Now that everybody's comfortable we'll get this show on the road, eh?" * <GM> * "You're all here for a job. The job is to remove a few thorns from my side." * <Johan> "ve travel?" <GM> * Smithers looks at Johan. * <GM> * "What the fuck is this? Amateur night?!" * <GM> * "This here's my dime, I do the talkin'! Your job is to sit there, look pretty, nod yer head, and shut the fuck up!" * <GM> * "Got it?!" * <GM> * "Good!" * <GM> * The short Danny Devito-looking motherfucker continues to rave and talk with his hands. * <GM> ((...)) <GM> * "I SAID SHUT IT, YEENE!" * <GM> * He slams his fists down on the desk with a thud. * <GM> ((i love smithers)) <GM> * "These thorns are a couple of deckers that've been givin' me grief." * <GM> * "Yer all gonna solve my problem for me, got it?" * <GM> * "Pay is 2 grand a head for a total of 6k. * <GM> * "Yennie and Joe-Han, you boys are mine as per our telecom arrangement -- so you can't refuse." * <GM> * He turns his surly gaze to the freakish black elf, "Noe-vah, right? What about you?" * <GM> * He chews on his stinky cigar as smoke billows from his lips. * <Nova> "Sure, why not, I'll do the job for you." <GM> * "Good." * <Johan> "vehre do ve go?" <GM> * He picks up a remote and a hidden projector throws an image up on the wall to his left. * <GM> * Three faces, all boys in their early 20's or late teens. * <Yenne> "How well are these deckers guarded?" <GM> * "SHUT YER FRAGGIN MOUTH AND LEMME FINISH THE BRIEF, CHIEF SLAPAHO!" * <GM> * "You don't say shit till I open the floor to your scraggly asses for questions...GOT IT?!" * <GM> * "GOT IT?!" * <GM> * He stares at Nova. * <GM> * "Good." * <GM> * "As I was TRYING to say..." * <GM> * "These are my t'ree problems. Their names are Moe, Larry, and Curly. These smartass little punks have been messin' around in my business...And NOBODY fucks with my business!" * <GM> * "You make them go away. All of them. It's that simple." * <GM> * "They go to the University of Seattle and live in the dorms. Which dorms and what room I ain't got a stinkin' clue about, so don't ask." * <GM> * "The security on campus, MISTER YETTIE, is all yer gonna have to worry about." * <GM> * He reaches into a desk drawer and draws out 3 datachips, then tosses them onto the desk and blows a huge cloud of smoke from his cigar. * <GM> * "That's got their vital info like full names and what-not. Holographs too." * <GM> * Smithers looks at you all. "These punks fucked with the wrong man's business!" * <GM> * "You got until Monday to finish the job." * <GM> * "NOW..." * <GM> * He scans the room, "...Are there any questions?" * <Nova> "No." <GM> * He looks at Johan and Yenne. * <Johan> "Nein." <GM> * "Good." * <GM> * "NOW GET OUTTA HERE!" * <GM> * He starts waving his hands in the air and throws an ashtray against the wall where it shatters. * <GM> * You're all back in the small corridor leading into the club. * <GM> * There's another door on the left wall, one on the right, and a door at the end leading back into the club. * <GM> * The firedoor to the outside looks welded shut. * <GM> * Johan steps back into the club. * <GM> * The same nasty strippers do their thing on lonely businessmen inside the "Pink Pussycat". * <GM> * Johan, the dwarf in the red bikini steps into your path, "Didn't forget about me, did'ya sugar?" * <GM> * She chews her gum with wide chomps from her ruby red lips. * <GM> * She frowns. "Listen honey, Smithers is just an angry old fool. Your fucking me IS his business....Mine too." * <GM> * "Besides, sugar, I'm a stripper, not a fuckin' hook-ah." * <GM> * She cups your balls and starts walking off. * <Yenne> "Johan and Nova, wait a second..." <GM> * The bartender with the black ponytail looks at you. * <GM> * "Yes?" * <Johan> "i vill be goink now" <GM> * "..." * <GM> * "Uhhhh....that's....nice....buddy..." * <Johan> "i vill have beer first" <GM> * He raises an eyebrow. * <GM> * He gets a mug and pours some amber liquid into it. * <GM> * He sets it on a napkin and slides it to you. * <GM> * "Six bucks." * <GM> * He frowns and goes back to cleaning his bartop. * <Nova> "You're on a job, and all you do is have a beer...?" <GM> * Nova: Yenne has a beer in his hand as well. * <Johan> "zis is svill" <GM> * It tastes like piss. * <GM> * You drink up anyway. * <Nova> "Svill..? what the hell does that mean?" <Johan> "zis beir ist habengubenfagensucht! bergarbfen schlause kafutka!" <Yenne> * Johan and Nova, lets get a table before we say anything *

 * Yenne stands by the door.
 * Johan turns up his tunes.

 * Johan looks at the door.
 * Johan stands up and walks to the door.

 * Johan returns to his seat
 * Yenne look at him in the eyes.
 * Johan looks at the door.
 * Nova is a muscular male elf with a striking appearance. 6'4" tall and approx. 200 pounds, his skin is almost perfectly black, opposed to milk-white long straight hair. Deep-blue, snakelike eyes burn with hate and anger. He's dressed in a light-grey long coat and Levis. An armor vest of the same color covers his chest.
 * Johan is a large orc, looks closer to human than many (though he still has the signature orc tusks). Wears black, silver studded leather pants and jacket, a black shirt underneath, and black sunglasses. His hair is black and greasy, a pair of headphones on his head, with the wire disappearing into the jacket.
 * Yenne is a tall Native American standing about 6’3 in height about 245 in weight, with long black hair, real deep black eyes, and a cinder tan skin tone. Wearing a long black trench coat, a wife beater T-shirt, a pair of army issued combat boots and a pair of black jeans. He hits like a truck and steps on anyone who ticks him off.

 * Yenne drink some of his beer.
 * Johan stares perplexed at Smithers.
 * Johan nods.
 * Yenne says, "What or who are the thorns, Mr Smithers?"
 * Johan nods.
 * Nova nods too.
 * Yenne remains emotionless and motionless.
 * Nova rolls eyes..
 * Johan nods.
 * Johan nods again.
 * Nova nods sligthly.
 * Johan decides not to pursue that dwarven stripper.
 * Yenne picks up the 3 datachips, hands one to the orc to his right, and hands one to the elf.
 * Johan shakes his head.
 * Johan walks to the door and opens it a little too firmly
 * Nova walks out to.. whatever is outside the door
