Strider Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 "No, I didn't intent to get a drink. I went up for information, and I got some, in addition to the unexpected drink. Basically the bartender knows a little about the laughing man, that guy we met on the street. When I asked, he directed me over here. I'm guessing the man will be here soon then? And I also found out what this is." He held out the credstick for Halley to inspect, turning it over to reveal all sides of the mundane plastic implement. "It contains the currency. Called Nuyen? Anyway, we have about eleven hundred on here. I'm still not entirely sure what that will buy, but it seems pretty decent." Edmond noticed Solomon flipping though his book. "Solomon, you have access to pretty much any book, right? So could you conjure up a book that would give me a decent background on this world? Also, could you get a copy of the Edwin & Sell Physical Science Primer? It would help someone I know understand my world a bit better." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S34N1C Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Theo takes a swig of his beer, and runs up onto the stage. He doesn't bother using the microphone set up on the stage, he just broadcast his voice with his headphones. "Yo, what up people? I'm Theo-Green, and tonight I will be your DJ, or as I call it, Party-Master. I will be taking requests later on, but for now, let's get this party STARTEEEEEEEEEEEEED!" The room is then blasted with dubstep, the bass of which can probably be felt several blocks away. Theo doesn't bother staying on the stage, and dives into the crowd. ((Theo-Green is his stage name. Also, can't provide links to music right now, so )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd need to finish this fight fast. Visrii quickly throws a thunder charge at the wounded policeman. Rolling Thunder against Policeman A (SYN damage, +SYN% damage increase next attack.)

How much it's worth, what sort of gun it goes to, that type of thing?" He held out the clip of bullets he had found earlier. Edmond scowled at the sudden surge of music from out in the club. It was Theo who fights with music, right? Edmond stood up and made his was over to the door, and opened it to take a look.

Yours Truly Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Fuck thou police Round 4 As the group of Policemen prepare to finish off the group, what can only be described as a large Armored personnel vehicle blaring out what sounds like an ambulance's sirens, and charging towards the assembled group of 'policemen'. It fires its pintle mounted machine guns at them, riddling Policemen ????? A and C with bullet holes. Policemen ????? D is unceremoniously dispatched by the light keeper. Policemen ????? B runs away from the fight using their ninja like speeds. The vehicle stops in front of the group, and a man in a doctor's uniform runs out of the vehicle with an attache case while shouting "Docwagon High threat response team!

LucidRain Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Visrii finishes his potion, and chucks it away, his wounds healing slightly. Too close again. The Flame is still way too far. He straightened up, leaning slightly on his staff, still covered in blood, his and the guards'. "Don't have a Schmidt here. Unless you're looking for that man over there." Visrii gestured towards the horned man. He stooped down and picked up the baton and the strange metal weapon they were using. Don't know what the fuck this is... but I'm pretty sure I can sell it. Or, at least, melt it and give the scrap to Edmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRage Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lexiel curiously examines the gun Visrii looted, and any others the officers might have dropped. She also checks their pockets for coins and other identifiable valuables. She also dismisses her remaining summons. "He's the one with the phone, so I'd say he's definitely Schmidt, Doctor."

Yours Truly Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Fuck thou police Lexiel notices a distinct lack of any coins, but she discovers several black pen like objects inside of the pockets of the policeman that the lightkeeper had attacked. The armor that the policemen wore are too damaged to use properly, although there are two pair of surprisingly undamaged pistols. A woman in an armored black uniform steps out, and she has a rather plastic smile "Docwagon thanks you for your efforts with protecting our client", she stares at the screen of a tablet for a moment "Wait seriously? His name is Jonathan Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt?". The man in the doctors uniform tends to the horned man. 15 Minuters Round 1 Theodore plays some music for the club, dealing 2 damage One of the club's more unruly customers throw a bottle at Theodore! dealing 3 damage An unruly customer is thrown out by the bouncer, dealing 10 damage to the crowd Mr. Loo says "Tough crowd, but a true partymaster would keep on going". Init Order Theodore The Club Status Theodore: 30/33 The Club: Not yet in a partying mood "This? It's a standard 12 round clip for a pistol, Ares make these you know? They are pretty nice for a bunch of corporate pigs, at the very least they are the least likely to put a bullet in your head after everything's said and done". Edmond would find a despondent looking crowd, and Theodore trying desperately to cheer them up. Backroom dealings in the backroom Jane opens the duffel bag and takes out an inconspicuous seeming briefcase "This briefcase contains one of the most useful, and less than legal weapons available in the black market, it is worth 2,200 Nuyen, but it is extremely useful". Smell of the day: Good old Al, Al-cohol that is. Things of interest for the 15 minuters: The nightclub's crowd, a fully stocked bar. Things of interest for "Fuck Thou Police": a group of heavily armed...doctors, an ammo clip, several pistols requiring its owner's fingerprints.

Hal Henderics Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Psymund pulls out an esoteric device. "This is an Energy Monofoil Rapier, a tool which combines the best parts of Sharper than Monowire Substances, Hard Light Technology, and Pulsar Imitative Technology. It is, by definition, capable of cutting through and piercing anything made of matter, and can be adapted to fire a projectile of equivalent quality with the right technical knowhow. I am willing to trade this for That weapon and 1450 Nuyen." Psymund pulls out another device. "This contains roughly a ton of Tungsten Carbide, which goes for 28,000 Nuyen as scrap. I am willing to give you twice your buying price in Nuyen for inconvenience, amounting to 4,400 Nuyen worth of Tungsten Carbide Scrap, or about 315 Pounds." He excretes a matter chit, able to dispense the scrap with a button press, and lays the Monofoil on the table. "I know you are a busy person, so I won't deliberate to myself, and instead, leave the choice up to you."

Yours Truly Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 17 v 13 Jane appears to be rather interested in the monofoil rapier, and she responds with "The tungsten carbide sounds like you are trying to sell me a rather large, static, yet easily identifiable clock called The Big Ben, but the Monofoil sounds nice, the thing is, I have no real proof that it actually works".

Hal Henderics Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Psymund nods, spawns the tungsten carbide in a single pillar off to the side, then cleanly bisects it with the monofoil, flourishing it in the traditional technique. "You can provide a test of your own, but substances which are self adhering might not show visible damage for obvious reasons unrelated to it's quality of edge."

Strider Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Turning back to Solomon, Halley, and Katsuo, Edmond spoke. "Well, it appears that Theo has gotten himself into a slight bit of trouble...do you think we should help him? The audience looks rather rough..." With a slight hint of exasperation, he sighed. "If not, Solomon, could you please explain everything you know?" "About why we're here that is," he clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sound of the crowd booing hadn't drowned out the song Some members of the crowd seems to be appreciating the choice of music though, dealing 10 damage to the crowd. Init order Theodore The Club Status Theodore: 30/33 The Club: Sort of enjoying the music The group formerly known as Fuck thou police. "Thank you for keeping our client alive ma'am, we are very sorry for any evening plans that have been distrupted by this course of action, and I am afraid that all I can offer is this brochure explaining what medical services we can offer, and a friendly reminder that your previous activities counts as the usage of a blunt weapon against Lone Star personnel, which comes with a 1100 nuyen fine, and a month inside of prison" She turns to face the man wearing a doctor's uniform, and yells "Hey Sonny! Do we have an ID on the Lone Star personnel yet?". "This place has heavily armed bouncers, at worst the crowd would bruise his ego." Solomon stops to consider Edmond's question for a moment "The man wasn't lying, we are technically here to infiltrate the lands of a sovereign nation state with territory all around the world to steal a book, it seems ridiculous, because quite frankly it is. You'd have to be either insane or untraceable to try and tangle with the Azzies and stay alive, but you know, if it helps prevent the world from ending...".
