Time 7:00 p.m. Location: A cafe in North Point.] <@Brett> [You're at a Chinese cafe in North Point, drinking coffee or tea probably and eating sweet buns.... probably... as you wait to hear from Ice. Sonia made her an offer yesterday after the race, but no response has come yet. Also, Nigel and Montana are no longer doing anything important.] <@Brett> [Start] <@Brett> [You're outdoors, too. Did I mention that? Yeha, outdoor cafe.] (Did we get our betting money back?) <@Brett> [It's a clear evening, sun's low in the sky.] <@Brett> ( Gimme a soul roll Gordo ) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 10. <@Brett> [By the time Gordo got back, the man he'd given money to mysteriously vanished.] * Montana is there! He smiles at the person giving him the coffee, and then asks the obvious because his player doesn't actually know: "So, how'd it go?" * Nigel drinks his tea. Tea >>>> Coffee. Duh. And waits for the answer to Montana's question. Weeeeell, other than the helecopter attack an the bookie running off wi m'and Shiho's wagers not so shabby. * Shiho answers distractedly while looking around for the bookie. "I had to hotwire a car." * Sonia shrugs. "I got a draw in a street race. Don't get too many of those." (or not looking for the bookie, since we're in the wrong area for that!) * Montana processes all of the information and settles on: "A helicopter attack?" (*while eating her sweet bun.) <@Brett> [Shiho spots the bookie at the table directly across from her nah not really.] Yeah. Someone wasn't a fan of a fair race. One of Sebastian's, right? Two actually, Brick and one of the ninjas. May've been a few more about. Figure they're lookin' for the same thing we are? Have to be. Probably, yeah. Unless yer friend Ice's got more secrets, it'd have ta be this one. <@Brett> [Just then a semi-familiar Asian woman in a mini-skirt and thin shirt staggers up and falls into Montana's lap. "Help..."] <@Brett> ( Gimme mind rolls :D Montana, Sonia and Nigel get +2s ) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 8 for a result of 13. * Sonia says, slightly sarcastically, "Every good woman has secrets," and then Montana gets lapmbushed. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Sonia and gets a natural 6 for a result of 13. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. * Montana catches her because that is the thing to do. "Whoa there." * VonZeppo (cfholser@96.50.84.157) has joined #MC5 (Hello?) <@Brett> ( Hey, that's Colin, a friend of mine. He'll be joining MCCoL ) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Shiho and gets a natural 10 for a result of 15. hello peeps <@Brett> ( Anywho! ) (Welcome) <@Brett> [All of you recognize the woman. No surprise since most of you just saw her a few days ago. It's Natsuki Kirishima, the ninja you met in Africa.] <@Brett> [She looks up at Montana and gasps, "They've got Tilda."] * Sonia looks at the woman with a slight frown, then offers up a, "Guess the direct play wasn't so great, huh?" * Gordo looks back the way she came to see if she's being chased or something. <@Brett> [Gordo doesn't see anyone menacing.] (Ah, hello! :) Please talk in parens for OOC comments.) * Montana blinks. "They? Who?" He looks around. "Someone get her a chair." * Shiho raises an eyebrow and quickly finished her sweet bun. * Gordo steals an empty one from the next table over. "Here ya are." * Montana stands, easing Natsuki into the chair. "There y'go." <@Brett> [Natsuko grimaces as she's moved to the chair. "Brick.... And the others. I barely got away." A couple of pedestrians look at you as they pass by, but no one stops. People seem even less likely to get inolved here than in America.] (Yeah, that's culture for you.) <@Brett> ( 'Specially when it probably involves Triads ) ("Where can I find some sailors?" :P) * Sonia leans on the table, looking at the woman through sunglasses. "What were you trying to do." <@Brett> [She glances at Sonia. "What do you think?" Then back to Montana. "They took her out to sea. They've got a ship out there."] * Gordo turns to Shiho. "Seems it's for the best we stoped at the docks then." <@Brett> ( You have to hurry. They're forcing her to watch this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgZNLbbS5WQ ) Well, better to do it with all of us. (ewww) Are you going to be okay, Natsuko? <@Brett> [She nods. "I think so... But I don't know what they're doing to her. They know about what happened in Stockholm."] * Nigel shrugs and downs the rest of his tea. (Trying to remember Stockholm.) <@Brett> ( It was when you and Nigel got laid ) (Right! That was fun.) (dem Swedes) * Montana sighs. "Fuck. It was a damn good replica, too. Who's got her? I kinda need details." * Nigel sighs. (Brick = Team Sebastian.) (I know she said Brick and others, but he's kind of hoping for more details than that if she has them.) (Right.) (Shiho and Gordo's people they saw were the same team.) (So whoever they saw jaunt off to the sea last session.) (Are also involved.) (Montana... wasn't there?) ( *opens the log and find the relevant line) (Opens other files to try and remember who any of those people actually are.) <@Brett> ( :| ) (To be fair, it's been a while.) (Yeah, I'm uncomfortable mentioning names as Shiho when I can't personally remember any of them from last times) (They haven't shown up for, like, a year and a half.) <@Brett> ( You could try http://besm.sandwich.net/MC5/logs/mc5-038.txt ) (Thanks!) (Anyway, someone mention something in character! Like for some reason Montana thinks there may be more/less people than you do because he knows nothing.) (Also he doesn't know that anyone saw people leave on a boat or something.) * Shiho pulls out her phone. "I can't remember their names, give me a second." <@Brett> ( There's always http://besm.sandwich.net/MC5/dossiers/MC5Characters.txt too ) * Shiho flips through her phone for a moment, then says, "Nyssa Nhkan, Julienne Stone, and Leonard Warwick." Alyssa gave us brief bios a month ago. Brick met with three of the other's so it'd be safe ta assume the who team's here, yeah? The one with the dreads and mods, telepath, and the ... I've forgotten what Leo's got. * Sonia blinks, then says, "That was a ten person list. If they're all here, we're gonna be pretty outmatched." * Shiho flicks the screen down. "Month and a half ago. Fire powers and appearance changing, unstable powers, reliant on some kind of drug." * Gordo rubs his forehead. "Ach, this is going to be a right mess." * Nigel nods. "Yeah, well... that's all we ever seem to do. Get into messes."] That's why we get the big bucks. * Sonia shrugs. "Boat's easy enough. We can try and get a bead on 'em in the Wave before we go in with everyone." * Sonia looks to Montana. "Since you probably want to go and get her?" <@Brett> [Natsuki's being pretty quiet throughout all this. Probably because she's passed out.] * Montana frowns. "Yeah. Been a while since I had ta take somethin' from a boat. And if Tilda can't get outta this situation..." He looks at Sonia. "Weren't we waitin' for someone, darlin'?" * Sonia shrugs. "I don't need to sit here. Ice knows how to get at me." (Is it Natsuko, or Natsuki? And how does that typo keep happening?) <@Brett> ( It's Natsuki, though I may have said Natsuko more than once. ) * Montana nods and stands. He reaches into his pocket, pulling out some money and putting it under his mostly-full cup. Apparently dining and dashing is not something he does. (he respects the service industry) <@Brett> ( How strange :o ) (Okay, so Sonia and Extra Capacity 2 # of people can get on a boat so we can scout the boat!) (Sounds good!) (That'd be two people who arn't Gordo.) * Montana then scoops up the passed out Natsuki. "Let's get her somewhere safe." (Maybe three if they were all Shiho) (whoa there, buddy) * Gordo drops some money on the table and takes the bagel he hadn't even started to eat with him. "Sounds like the starts of a plan." * Shiho pays as well. <@Brett> ( Can I assume you take her back to the hotel? ) (You know what they say about assumptions? When you assume.... you get punched in the face. True story.) (Also, I'm fine with taking her back.) (Just make sure she can't do any damage when she wakes up.) (cuffs, ropes, bagels, etc.) <@Brett> [You take Natsuki back to the hotel, then head to the docks.] <@Brett> [Time: 8:00 p.m. The sun's gone down, and water's dark beyond the harbor lights.] <@Brett> [It toally is yo <@Brett> [Fo'sho'] * Sonia has a boat. Where did she get it? Nobody knows. It's pretty sweet. If only someone had night vision of some sort, then they'd be able to scout with her. OH WAIT. * Sonia takes out people for romantic interludes and scouting. Brmbrmbrmbrmbrm ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctBU8km42zA ) (I was expecting Lonely Island.) (cliche) <@Brett> ( Should probably decide who's going with and get into #ScoutingChannel ) (Whoever wants to!) (I'm scouting. Two someones can easily see in the dark.) (Is this for scouting or is that for scouting?) <@Brett> ( That's for scouting ) (*checks math again. "Actually Gordo will fit, and he has night vision goggles.") (He also doesn't have amaizing rolls to notice things) <@Brett> ( This one's for sitting around on the docks doing nothing while waiting for you guys to come back. And possibly procuring a boat for the rest of you. ) (Get he into the scouting channel, where all the cool people are!) (Sorry, Shiho and Nigel. <3) (blubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblubblub) * Montana climbs into the boat, already difficult to see due to gray-on-dark, as he's left his outer clothes at s/home/hotel and the mask is over his face. (Awman. Uncool table again.) (it's okay) (We're splitting up once the boat leaves, I'm guessing? (you can talk about fashion) ) (Hey, at least he probably won't awkwardly hit on you again?) (YOU SAY THAT) (don't tempt fate) (you jerk) (So wait.. I'm confused. Who's going in the boat?) (Not the two of us.) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Sonia and gets a natural 3 for a result of 10. (Aha) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 8 for a result of 15. <@Brett> [Nigel and Shiho are left alone on the docks whilst the others take off into the night waters.] <@Brett> [What a drag.] 2d6+4 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+4 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 10. * Nigel stands there and rocks back and forth on his heels with his hands in his suit pockets. "So... How are you?" (Time for awkward conversations!) (not dead) (It's a start!) <@Brett> ( Frankly this couldn't have worked out better, from my perspective :P ) (Right? XD) Fine. * Nigel nods a few too many times. "Good. Good. That's good." * Shiho is looking up at the sky. "I forgot how bad the fucking light pollution is here." * Nigel nods and looks up. "Yeah. Isn't it crazy to think that we used to be able to see the night sky perfectly clearly from anywhere on the planet? Now... There's almost no where with zero light pollution. At least not in this realm."] (Why did I do GM Brackets? Kill those) (This is the problem with playing games on friday. My brain is still in GM mode from Thursday) (break your fingers) (problem fixed!) (I'm pretty sure... knowing myself... I would just type anyway and just keep going "Ow! That hurts! I forgot... Ow! That hurts... I forgot") (Just like nail biting.) (Yep) Mm. * Nigel nods absently. "What have you been reading lately? Anything good?" * Shiho lowers her gaze to the skyline. "No." * Nigel nods and sighs. "Hey, by the way... I'm sorry about your eyes. I really wish there was another way. I would have gladly given mine up instead of yours, but Fae like to fuck with people like that. Make them screw their friends over and cause chaos." 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 10 for a result of 15. <@Brett> ( They do. They so, so do. :D ) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. Hm? Oh, I don't really care. It's not impeding my ability to do my job or anything. Pretty small-scale price, as far as things go." * Nigel shakes his head. "In the long run, sure... but it's still a permanent price... and just because it doesn't impede your functionality doesn't mean it's not important. You aren't a robot... and your eyes were pretty." He shrugs quickly to recover and moves on. "Anyway... I did my best to bargain with her. She really wanted to make it so you couldn't fix them. She wanted all future color, * Nigel too... So at least there's that." * Shiho side-eyes Nigel. "You're making me uncomfortable with your focus on a physical aspect of my person that I've already expressed apathy towards. You can drop the subject." * Nigel nods and sighs. "My appologies. I just feel bad because it was me who had to make the decision and I disliked forcing others to give up aspects of themselves." He takes out his phone and taps at it a few times. "Are you feeling better about the whole dealing-with-the-supernatural thing?" ("because it was I who had to make the decision" Nigel would have had proper grammar there) * Shiho looks back to the skyline. "I hate Hong Kong." <@Brett> ( Hong Kong hates you too >:( ) * Nigel nods. "I know... Anything I can do? I don't mean like... nevermind... anyway... I'm here if you need... like you know if someone needs a crossbow bolt through their shoulder or something. I have been trying to get better at fighting the non-supernatural stuff. Even have a weapon that was invented after the 15th century now." He nods and tries to grin a bit. Thank you. <@Brett> ( Still don't have an explosive goo gun though :< ) * Nigel nods. "You're welcome. So... why do you hate Hong Kong so much? I mean... you don't have to tell me details, if you don't want to... I know how pasts can be rough to talk about. Hell... there are definitely things I would not talk about..." Nigel actually looks pretty intensely pained for a moment and then shrugs it off... 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. 2d6+10 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 16. I mentioned the reason back at the laundromat. I don't like to discuss it. 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia and gets a natural 12 for a result of 17. (i'm a master) (We've been schooled.) <@Brett> [Sonia and Gordo return! With no Montana.] ...You seem to have forgotten someone. * Nigel nods. "Sure." He looks out at the boat. "I had a feeling that-" He pauses. "What happened? Is he just invisible... or..." (gonna need a bigger boat) * Sonia says, lowly, flatly, "Montana's scouting. Get on." * Shiho gets on the boat! Gonna be a wee bit of a squeeze though. * Nigel shrugs and gets on the boat. Yeah. Get chummy. (I stand by my earlier comment) 2d6+9 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+9 for Montana and gets a natural 9 for a result of 18. * Gordo tries to squeeze himself into a corner. * Sonia turns and heads back towards the ship, keepin' sneaky. * Nigel smirks at Gordo. "Come on, Gordo, I know I've been eating a few extra scones at breakfast, but I haven't put on THAT much weight." (The boat only seats three. You get one person besides the pilot per level of extra space) * Shiho starts to relax a little as they head towards the boat. <@Brett> [You head back toward the ship! No sign of Montana though.] <@Brett> [The ship is a fairly big one. It looks like it could have been a whaling ship. There's no lights on.] <@Brett> [It almost looks abandoned. But we know better than that, don't we?] 2d6+4 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+4 for Montana and gets a natural 3 for a result of 7. <@Brett> [You sit in a boat beneath the bigger ship, not doing anything.] * Sonia comms, to Montana, ~We're back.~ (Actually, can we stop here? I think people are falling asleep.) <@Brett> ( I was planning to once you got on the ship. ) <@Brett> ( I don't want boarding the boat to take half the next session :| ) (We can board the boat when we've got a plan, we can have a plan when Montana's done scouting.) * Sonia replies, ~About.~ <@Brett> [A rope comes over the side. Must be a hint.] ~You boy?~ * Sonia , once Montana confirms, nods to herself and gestures up the rope with two quick hand-movements. * Gordo would complain about how many years it's been since he had to do this, but he's trying to be stealthy. (AND THUS THE PEOPLE WERE LOADED ONTO A SHIP) <@Brett> [One by one, you climb up the side of the boat, where the session ends abruptly.]
