Synopsis: Elena and Whiskey score some hooch to gain access to Mr. White a knowledgeable fellow on the astral plane. Things go a little wrong and they get chased by cops and a spirit police cruiser.
Date: July 11, 2071
Whiskey sits staring at a drawing that he has done of a native woman standing in the moonlight with a coyote howling up at her. Beth is sitting at her desk, back straight and looking over her glasses reading some sort of antique book with a leather binding. Whiskey grumbles a little "Me is no so sure dat me can lurn dis." Beth raises one eyebrow "Well…I know someone who can help but you would have to go find him. If you are up to the challenge I will help you on your way. Elena why don’t you go with Whiskey I am sure that Mr. White can help you with your little project too. Go on you two go tell the watcher on the threshold that you seek Mr. White it will lead you on your way."
Whiskey hmmms and rolls up the drawing putting it in his satchel bag. Then taking a star blanket out lays it on the floor and sits down on it he squirms around for a second getting comfortable then closes his eyes and flop, Whiskeys body falls out like the troll has passed out.
Elena ponders that, she is unsure of this new thing, "This is moving to the planes, yes?” she asks. "I have never been there…" There is some excitement, mixed with some worry as she says that. "Do you think I am ready for that yet?" she asks Beth.
Beth sets her book down on the desk placing a ribbon between the pages before she closes her chapter on cleansing artifacts. "Well I think you are capable, and Mica has been to the planes a great deal, sometimes I wonder if he ever truly leaves them." Elena says with a smile. "He will be a good guide, and if all else fails just stand behind him." Beth continues "Now off with you before he forgets you are going with him."
Elena lays down on the sofa to have her meat body comfortable on the mundane plane, then lets the core of her being slip away from her body, finally entering an area she never has been before, floating in a dark void, looking to find her team-mate the troll. Her body has changed significantly, looking now like she has a horn on her forehead, clothed in brightly glowing robes with white hair that falls down her back like the mane of a horse. She is quite a sight to behold.
Whiskey stands on the astral plane waiting when Elena shows up he smiles and motions for her to follow him. Then he is off like a shot. Whiskey eventually slides to a stop in front of a door. He knocks on the door and a little window slides open. Two beady eyes set into a fat face look out and say “password.” Whiskey looks back and forth to make sure the coast is clear and says “Threshold.” Then the door opens and a fat man in a pin striped zuit suit opens the door “Come on get in here before the coppers see you” Whiskey slides in through the door
«Plot» Whiskey Slim says, "roll magic+astral pool tn the rating of the quest to get past the threshold."

Elena zooms after Whiskey. She was new to the planes, but she knew in theory what she had to do, after all her teachers at the university had told her a lot of what to expect. The thing with a door and like a secret club door kind of took her a bit off guard though.
«Plot» Whiskey Slim says, "Both Elena and Whiskey pass the threshold with 5 successes this will give them 2kp extra to spend while questing"
Down a little hallway and through another door into a small back room then down a flight of stairs and past an old upright piano. The two come to a stop in front of a bar, the room is filled with people dressed in 1920s clothing it would seem that you have stepped back in time to prohibition era America and have walked directly into a speak easy. A grey hair lady stands behind the bar polishing glasses with a rag. She smiles at you "Hello my name is Auntie Mae and welcome to my club how can I help you today?"
Whiskey saddles up to the bar and says "Whiskey need talk Mr. White." Auntie Mae pours Whiskey a whiskey and looks appraisingly at him "Mr. White does not just talk to anyone he only talks to operators, are you an operator?"
«Plot» Whiskey Slim says, "roll charisma+astral pool tn quest vs M stun to convince Auntie to help you out"
«Auto-Judge[]» Whiskey Slim (#6879) rolls Charisma + Astral Pool: 5 vs TN 5 for "M stun":

1 1 2 2 3 4 5 7 = 2 Successes
Elena smiles at Auntie Mae, "Ummm…I guess we are… ", she says to the old woman after she followed Whiskey Slim up those stairs.”How will you be able to tell?” she then asks.
«Auto-Judge[]» Elena (#11357) rolls Charisma + Astral Pool: 1 vs TN 4 for "Please Auntie Mae. How do we find Mr. White?”
1 3 4 4 5 10 10 = 5 Successes
Auntie Mae eyes the two of them "Well to prove that you are an operator why don't ya got get me a shipment of gin from the mob boys and bring it back here then I will believe you and make a phone call up to Mr. White. She slides you a card with an address on it along with a set of keys to a car "take my car so you get back quick, I got a lot of thirsty customers."
Whiskey grabs the keys and the card and heads out the way you came in…When you hit the street everything has changed a little everything seems older and there is an old black 1920s Ford 4 door car with suicide doors sitting outside. Whiskey looks at the keys and then at the car "Dis mus be our ride huh?" Whiskey keys the lock and slides into the driver’s seat, there is a Tommy gun sitting in the passenger’s seat.
Elena blinks, "I just hope this does not involve shooting…” she says.”I am not going to shoot someone… Even here.” she says and hands the gun to the troll. "I'll drive, you shoot…"She then sits down and says, "And you tell me where to."
Whiskey slides over and grabs the Tommy gun. "Da card say 1214 Moro Street, so me guess dat is where we need to be going." Whiskey is not really sure where they are going but he finds a map in the glove box "Yeah yeah ju turn right here, oh no me mean left oh watch out for dat guy der…HEY BUD JU SHOULD NO BE WALKIN ON DA SIDEWALK"
«Plot» Whiskey Slim says, "roll int+astral pool tn quest rating vs M Physical because of bad directions and bouncing around inside the car."
«Auto-Judge[]» Elena (#11357) rolls Intelligence + Astral Pool: 1 vs TN 4 for "Resisting M physical. Do you know where you go now?":
3 4 4 5 11 15 17 = 6 Successes
«Auto-Judge[]» Whiskey Slim (#6879) rolls Intelligence + Astral Pool: 5 vs TN 5 for "soaking M phys":
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 4 4 5 5 5 8 = 4 Successes
Elena frowns at those ambiguous directions, as she tries to steer the car through the heavy mostly walker traffic. She gasps occasionally as she almost rams any persons, but she manages to keep on track.
Whiskey directs Elena, somewhat poorly to the location on the card; it looks like a theater featuring the film "Cocoanuts". Whiskey looks over at Elena "me tink we should put da car in da back alley, wha ju tink?" he says pointing towards what looks like a back entrance where there is a large door and a loading dock.
Elena giggles, "I guess that would be an idea… I assume the officials would not like the deeds we are about to do yes?” she then asks. "It's kinda limiting not to be born here in this aspect…" She drives the car to said side alley and leaves the cabin to have a quick look around.
As soon as the car stops the side door slides open and two big guys start pulling cases of gin out and setting them on the loading dock, they must have recognized the car. Whiskey starts loading the booze into the back of the car just as he puts the last case in a police officer walks around the corner. Whiskey slams the trunk shut and almost freezes in fear. What to do what to do…
«Plot» Whiskey Slim says, "roll willpower+astral pool tn quest rating S stun"
«Auto-Judge[]» Whiskey Slim (#6879) rolls Willpower + Astral Pool: 5 vs TN 5 for "to be able to act instead of getting busted by the cops":
1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 5 5 7 7 8 10 20 = 7 Successes
Elena seeing that officer simply walks towards the man and tries to get him into a discussion about the way to one of the places she remembers driving past, while she tries to move him away from the car at the same time.
«Auto-Judge[]» Elena (#11357) rolls Willpower + Astral Pool: 1 vs TN 4 for "Need 6 successes to withstand S stun.":

1 5 = 1 Success
"Hey what are you guys doing" the police officer says looking at them and looking at their booze he pulls out his whistle and blows. Immediately the donut shop across the street bursts into activity as police officers pour out of it carrying Billy clubs ready to rumble with Whiskey and Elena…oh no it looks like combat
Elena curses in German as she realizes she was not successful in deviating the man. She hopes that this metaplane allows magic and centers her will on the initial cop. He is closest to her after all.
«Plot» Whiskey Slim says, "roll any combat skill+astral pool vs quest rating and S physical"
«Auto-Judge[]» Elena (#11357) rolls Kung Fu + Astral Pool: 1 + Karma Pool: 4 vs TN 4 for "Defending with some silly Kung Fu moves.":

«Auto-Judge[]» Elena (#11357) rolls Kung Fu + Astral Pool: 1 + Karma Pool: 4 - 5 (successes) vs TN 4 for "Defending with some silly Kung Fu moves. (KP:8)":

1 1 1 2 3 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 7 = 6 Successes
Elena, realizing no spells are coming forth, changes to plan B, meaning using her bare hands. Luckily she has trained a bit lately, so she is managing to hold herself until she can reach the car and moves into the cabin to start the engine.
"Get da car started Elena" Whiskey says as he pulls out some hard boiled moves on the coppers. Whiskey gets night-sticked a couple of times before he punches one cop in the face and kicks another’s knee out. He jumps onto the side of the car and yells "We bedder beat feet sister before any more show up.
Elena isn't waiting unnecessarily as she sees the troll in the car with her. She simply presses her foot down on the thrust pedal and makes her way out. Definitely touching a few cops on her way out of the alley.
Whiskey watches the cops as he rides along side Elena and she can probably see it in the mirror as the cops summon up the spirit of the chase and by spirit we mean the biggest badest blue and red flashing cop car this side of 1929. The car growls with arcane energy, as it roars after them, cops aboard riding on the side boards. Whiskey looks over at Elena "Hey der dame we bedder get rid of dat spirit if we is goin get away. ju gots any ideas here?"
«Plot» Whiskey Slim says, "F6 spirit gives chase, better get rid of it if you want to escape"
Elena blinks, "Gosh… no… not really. We might be able to work some banishing here?", she asks.
"Oh yeah banishin, me got ju banishin right here." Whiskey leans out the door with the Tommy gun and unleashes hell "Ju neva get me copper, ju neva take me alive, me is on top of da world. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Whiskey starts blasting away with the Tommy gun.

«Plot» Whiskey Slim says, "Spirit goes away, nice job"
Elena starts to assense an interesting experience as she constantly is reminded of the fact that she is on the astral planes. Analyzing the following spirit, she sends out tendrils of magic to unravel the spirit. At first it's a hard fight, but finally the car-spirit starts to unravel, getting first visible by flattened tires, then a crack in the windshield window. Then finally there is a loud banging noise and the car stops with its engine smoking heavily as the magic shine leaves it.
Whiskey slides back into the car the Tommy gun smoking hot and looks over at Elena with a smile "Now dat is hittin on all six der Jane, now let get dis hooch back to Auntie an get to talkin to Mr. White. Whiskey says blowing the smoke off the gun barrel.
The car slides easily over the road and it’s a lot easier to find your way back than it was to find the hooch. Soon back at Auntie Mae’s the car is getting unloaded, and Auntie makes good on her promise, a phone call and a few minutes later Elena and Whiskey are escorted into an office in the back of the bar. Mr. White is actually a black man who wears a white suit and hat. He sits behind the desk as they come in an smiles in greeting "Come on in, how you all doin today, make yourself a drink and let’s talk over a glass." the man drawls in a southern accent "I hear you all have need of Mr. Whites expertise…and Mr. White is a citadel of expertise." he says with a laugh.
Elena smiles gladly as she finally stands before the man, "Well, I must admit Mr. White it was quite an interesting experience to get to meet you.” she says friendly. "I am hoping I can get some insight into something to help with a friend’s problem…"
