Having just gone through a nervewracking, self-induced flirting session to steal a badge from Lancelot Windtree, Applejack is trying to recover from the feeling of "ick".

Krieger: "We need something to clear our memories about this."

Applejack: "Yeah..."

Krieger: "Let's go see Sleaze!"

Applejack: "What??"

Krieger: "It *will* make you forget, and we do need to talk to him anyways..."

Krieger and Applejack are trying to decide what to do about Lancelot who is currently unconscious on the ground.

Krieger: "I want to steal his sword. Docwagon is on it's way though, so we need to go quick."

Applejack: "Should I stay here? Would it be less suspicious if I tried to help?"

Krieger: "Do you have a good explanation for why he's unconscious with his pants down?"

Applejack: "Uhm.... no."

GM (as biomonitor): "Docwagon inbound, T-3 Minutes".

Krieger: "Never mind that, grab the sword and run!"

Krieger and Applejack have ended up at a dinner party hosted by the Young Elven Technologists. Lancelot Windtree, being extremely obnoxious, makes a memorable entrance. Applejack and Krieger see him as an easy mark. Applejack talks him up for a bit and then decides on a course of action.

Applejack: *Internal monolgue* "I'm going to need an good exfoliating shower after this..."

Applejack takes a deep breath.

Applejack: "Who's going to protect me better than one of our own kind? I did see that upstairs has some rooms, I wouldn't mind seeing more of you..."

Krieger (OC): *Wretching Noises*

Applejack is a little angry that someone pushed an alarm button.

Applejack: "I told him NOT to do that. Explicitly! I shoot him."

*Applejack rolls to shoot, the GM rolls to resist*

GM: "He rolls really well. In any other situation, this would be amazing. He's still dead."

Sleaze and Zerk's talismonger are at Zerk's funeral.

Krieger (OC): "So... I presume they caused problems at the funeral. What did they do?"

GM: "They both tried selling cocaine to other patrons during the service, and ended up making 10000Y worth of sales."

Krieger (OC): "They bought off each other, didn't they?"

GM: "Yep! They also got into trouble during the reception. They spiked the punch with cocaine, and spiked the cake with alcohol. It was a fantastic rum cake, but unfortunately, it wasn't supposed to be..."

Applejack's player needs to leave the session for a minute after stealthily infiltrating a building. She comes back.


Krieger: "...So, I'll be casting a deadly stunbolt"

Applejack: "I was gone for a minute! What did I miss??"

You hear a crash at the front window. You turn and see a rock with a note tied to it.


Applejack (OC): "I go ahead and untie the note, unravel it, and read it."

GM: "You go ahead and unroll the note. You see the word 'meow' written down 15, no, 20 times!"

Krieger (OC): "Were you participating in the 420 festivals yesterday when you came up with this??"

Smokes and Lead-Belt are planning on how to break into a safe house.

Lead-Belt: "We use the decreased security caused by the shipment as our opening"

Smokes: "Fair"

Lead-Belt: "We pretend to be the shipment"

Smokes: "Last time I did that, I got shot in the leg"

Lead-Belt: "And finally, one of us *is* the shipment, and the other two do a pincer attack."

Smokes: "That sounds pretty similar to option two, but it's fine if I'm not inside..."

Smokes is talking to a former coworker, and asks about a few of her old friends: Roscoe and Regina.

GM (as Grant): "I think he was talking to Regina a few times too?"

Smokes: "What?! He better stay away from her, or I'll have to do a crime."

Tank: "You're a Shadowrunner. You're entire existence is a crime!"

Smokes: "Well... more crimes then."

Smokes and Tank are preparing to meet up. Their preparation methods are diametrically opposed.

Smokes: "Smokes goes for a shower to get cleaned up and make herself presentable."

Tank: "Tank forgoes the shower. He knows he's presentable."

Smokes:"Yeah, he's got that tactical troll musk."

Tank: "Yep! So overpowering that his opponents flinch. At that point, he strikes."

Applejack has just found a package crate with the exciting label of "Vehicle mount only". She opens it up and reads the label inside.

Applejack: "Ares MP Heavy Laser Plus: Bringing your targets to you! Warning: Do not look into the operational end of the device."

Kringle (OC): "I take out a small little gift sticker and write 'to: Applejack, from: Kringle' and place it on the crate."

Applejack screams in delight.

Kringle has just dropped through a chimney and surprised the guards inside. He rolls to thwack a guard with his Peppermint stick looking bo-staff. He gets 9 hits.

Applejack (OC): "Dang, it sounds like he just lost his jaw."

GM: "Yeah, this has staged past deadly stun and is rolling over into the physical damage."

Kringle: "Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!"

GM: "You know, if he survives this, he's going to have a terrible time walking through the mall any time he hears a santa..."

Kringle, who refers to C4 as coal, has stopped by his apartment to pickup some coal for those on the naughty list.

Applejack: "You really have coal?"

Kringle: "Absolutely! I've put it in a few people's stockings."

Applejack: "Really? That's something I was always afraid of as a kid..."

Kringle: "With my coal, you should be!"

Applejack and Kringle are discussing how to get into a secure(ish) facility. Applejack mentions that her ride has two ingram valiants on it.

Krieger: "The sleigh is armed!"

Applejack: "Yep! Can't go in without protection."

*Applejack stops and thinks about what she just said*

Applejack: "er... that... uh... that's *not* what I meant."

Kringle: "Well... sounds like one point for the naughty list..."

Applejack: "Yeah, I deserve that..."

Kringle, a professional santa lookalike and shadowrunner, is meeting up with Applejack. After introductions, he pulls out a dataslate and asks an important question.

Kringle: "Are you on the naughty or nice list this year?"

Applejack: "You know... I'm not actually sure right now..."

Kringle: "Tell you what, let's go steal some stuff from the people on the naughty list..."

While walking up the stairwell that a Cyberzombie had to mangle greatly in order to walk up, Krieger looks at the damage. He looks at Applejack, and doesn't say what he's thinking for fear of being shot.

Krieger (mentally): "Maybe.... just maybe Zerk did the right thing. That would have caused a lot of problems had it not been stopped..."

Applejack (OC): "Applejack simply proceeds up the stairwell wordlessly."

Applejack, pissed off, sad, and wanting to get revenge on winternight for having killed Zerk (via Cyberzombie fall), decides to drive right up next to a group of people who are talking next to the cyberzombie and open fire with two ingram valiants at full auto within a 3 meter area.

GM: "You know, I'm pretty sure, although you guys can correct me on this, that filling up a 3m area with 30 bullets over .5 seconds is deadly, but, the important question is.... how deadly?"

The damage code ended up being 21D. The group of winternight operatives did *not* survive.

Applejack and Zerk are on a stakeout, waiting for some Winternight operatives to make their move. Their move is indeed made when they hear a van pull up next to their stakeout location. Applejack jumps into her truck to get a look at what's going on.

GM: "You turn your truck towards where they parked. You notice a very familiar, white, unmarked van."

Zerk (OC): "Oh no... shoot it! Shoot it!"

GM: "You have a jolt of memory when you recall the last time you saw this van. As you picture the cyberzombie you loaded into it last time, the doors open up. The cyberzombie steps out."

Zerk (OC): "Why are you waiting? Shoot it now!"

Applejack (OC): "Um... yeah. I'm rolling initiative."

Zerk, having gone down an elevator to the basement/car parking area, calls out an important question.


Zerk: "Anyone doing anything nefarious down here?"

GM (As some guy): "No!"

GM (muffled): "Yes! Get me out of the trunk!"

GM (As some guy): "Hush you!"

Zerk: "Person who is being kidnapped says what?"

GM (As some guy): "What?"

Zerk: "I knew it!"

Zerk (OC): "I pull out my gun and run around the corner."

GM (As some guy): "Er.... I mean... Um... can I change my answer?"

Zerk: "...No."

Applejack has just grown some fangs. She's looking at the old teeth in her hand and trying to process what just happened. She calls the only person she can think of.

Applejack: "Zerk, my teeth just fell out! I have fangs now, what's going on?"

Zerk: "Ok, so here's what you do..."

Applejack: "I swear to god, if you tell me about the toothfairy, I'm going to hit you with a wrench!"

Zerk: "No, no, not the toothfairy! If you leave them under your pillow, the great dragon dunkelzahn will come..."
