#38: Confusion ensues
(2)
So we now have a character named Blue and a blue character named Slade.
Lazarus (IC): "So I explain to Slade-not-Wilson and Blue-not-in-skin that we have two jobs..."
#37: Regrats
(2)
Before starting, everyone is giving the player of Wheels a bit of a hard time. Eventually....
Wheels (OC to Lazarus): "You know, I wasn't quite sure if you really WERE annoyed at me for being not stealthy."
*Silence*
Lazarus (OC): "Nah, I wasn't, I was just keeping to the character. I was trying to decide if I should give you a hard time again, because I'd already ragged on you a bit hard earlier."
Blue (OC): "Wheels was a great character.... too bad you were playing him."
#36: Ah yes... vans.
(1)
The team decided to buy a new car after the old rigger (Wheels) wisely decided to skip town. As the talk of car availability comes up:
GM (OC): "You know... I'm pretty sure that vans are considered forbidden gear now..."
#35: The PLAN
(1)
Lazarus has begun asking about how Slade usually operates. After hearing the brilliant plan of leaving no witnesses...
Lazarus (IC): "You're acting like this is normal for you! That's not how this usually works."
Blue (IC): "Well... that's actually exactly how this has been going..."
Lazarus (IC): "And that's why you've been having problems! If you could just disguise any of.... this."
*Lazarus indicates all of Slade in general*
#34: Shadowrunning is HARD!
(1)
Lazarus has decided to talk to Slade to find out what he can do.
Lazarus (IC): "Do you know anything about subtlety?"
Slade (IC): "Subtlety? What's that? I'd love some tea though."
Lazarus (IC): "And those swords! Have you ever thought about taking martial arts? Maybe getting a small gun?"
Slade (IC): "Guns? No... I hate guns. They're too noisy!"
Slade (IC, annoyed): "Do you have ANY experience with subterfuge? Stealth? NOT BEING VIOLENTLY BLUE??"
#33: Discreet Duffel bag
(1)
Lazarus calls his contact, Gerard, and asks for him to get him a duffel bag.
GM (Gerard): "I will have it there soon. It will be under the small rock formation on the west side of the Gazebo"
Lazarus (IC): "Gerard.... It's a DUFFEL BAG."
(It ended up under the rocks anyways)
#32: The new runner speaks!
(1)
Slade (IC): "Are you the guys I'm supposed to meet?"
Lazarus (IC): "oh gosh...."
Slade (IC): "I'm so excited to meet you guys!"
Blue (IC): "Lazarus, you're looking a little ill..."
Slade (IC): "I have healing rock!"
Lazarus (IC): "Please tell me someone didn't buy it for you."
#31: A new runner on the block
(1)
Lazarus and Blue are waiting for their new runner to show up and join the team. The taxi shows up, and a blue Oni steps out. He's immediately accosted by law enforcement and asked to show his license for the swords on his back. He then jauntily runs towards the Gazebo in the middle of the park. As he's on his way, Lazarus gets this sinking feeling...
Lazaurs (IC): "Wait.. he's blue??"
Blue (IC): "And with two large swords too..."
Lazarus (IC): "Good grief.... what did we get into this time?"
#30: Attempting to be sneaky
(1)
Scarlet sneaks up behind a guard and breaks his neck.
Scarlet (OC): "Alright, I grab the body as it starts to fall."
GM: "Ok, you're holding onto a dead body."
Scarlet (OC): "I should have thought ahead a little bit... I have no idea why I'm holding onto a dead body."
#29: Grenade Football
(1)
In the middle of a firefight, someone threw a grenade at Scarlet. Scarlet promptly kicked it back and then snapped a selfie of herself with the explosion in the background.
Frazzle (IC): "What was that?"
Scarlet (IC): "Someone threw a grenade at me."
Frazzle (IC): "You just kicked a fragging grenade? And then took a selfie??"
#28: Decker Problems
(0)
Jack, the decker, plugged into a data jack and was promptly zapped by some weird black IC. After he came to, Scarlet had a few choice words for him.
Scarlet (IC): "Maybe you should have asked for consent before you went and plugged into it!"
#27: Cold shoulder
(1)
Scarlet (IC): "Alright, take off his jacket."
Frazzle (IC): "I don't like where this is headed."
Scarlet (IC): "Just give me his jacket!"
*Frazzle shrugs, takes off the unconscious ganger's jacket and hands it over*
Scarlet (IC): "Thanks, I was cold."
#26: Gang fight aftermath
(0)
Frazzle (IC): "I think we need to send these guys a message not to try this again."
Frazzle (OC)" "I shake the one guy awake, tell him to never come after us again, and then break his knee."
GM: "He looks very confused when woken up, and promptly passes out from pain when you break his knee."
Scarlet pulls out a sharpie and starts drawing on his face. Adds in mustaches and writes a warning message on his forehead. Then writes "Kitty was here" on his neck.
Scarlet (IC): "There. That should do it."
*Calls over her hellhound sparky*
Scarlet (IC): "Let's get sparky to pee on him too!"
#25: A commercial break
(1)
From time to time, the GM posts things like news articles. Not today...
GM: "A loud man in an even louder suit and orange tie is chewing up the set, shouting the following commercial:
Here at EVO-corp, we're always looking to bring you the best quality equipment for the lowest cost. In this vein, we're proud to present the J-Razor, named so because that famous UCAS hero Jesus WOULD have used this had be actually been from UCAS. And not dead for several thousand years. The J-Razor lets you be just like Jesus... Jesus shaves! And so should you!
For the ladies, we have a special brand of J-Razor just for you called the U-Razor. It's just like the J-Razor, but unlike Jesus, this will touch you where he'd never be willing to! And believe me, he'll be missing out... But everyone else you meet won't!
Buy it now!"
Wheels (OC): "Think we need to get you to stop watching commercials, its affecting your brain"
GM: "I.... haven't been watching any."
#24: This is what resignation sounds like
(2)
Blue (OC): "You can just throw some of Blue's terrorist acts in her face if you want."
#23: Fallout from "The train job"
(1)
Lazarus (IC): "So.... business time I guess. What in the hell were you thinking?"
Blue (IC): "Well, at the time..."
Lazarus (IC): "Which time?"
Blue (IC): "Well... there was the time when Wheels decided we should kill the Mayor..."
Lazarus (IC): "No no no, before that. This has been an extremely long series of fuckups. You have no idea!"
Blue (IC): "Erm... which one are you considering the first?"
#22: Arguments over whether or not to bring the Van escalate
(2)
Wheels (IC): "Alright, leave your decks at home, and I'll leave my van."
Blue (IC): "The deck... is surgically.... implanted into my head!!"
Wheels (OC): "This is why Wheels will probably be taking a break..."
#21: We haven't even started yet....
(1)
Gandalf (OC): "You know, about a mile away from where you exploded stuff."
Blue (OC): "Which stuff?"
Gandalf (OC): "Downtown where you exploded stuff."
Wheels (OC): "Again, Which time? We've exploded too many things!"
GM: "I hate to say it... but they are correct."
#20: Compromises
(0)
Wheels (IC): "Ok, fine, you don't want me to bring the van, I won't bring the van! If you want me to come, find me the VTOL semi. I KNOW it's out there! I saw it fly over!"
#19: Things go awry
(2)
Wheels (OC): "Well that plan sucked."
Blue (OC): "It looked nice on paper at least."
