«Plot» Mirage says, "Here's the scenerio"
«Plot» Mirage says, "You are going to meet the jay."
«Plot» Mirage says, "Pose in at a local diner. Think I-Hop."
Baron arrived to the meet early, and helped himself to some food, a ham and cheese omlet, some pancakes, toast, a cheeseburger, fries, and a large fizzy coke. He is making his way through his meal as he waits for the time the meet is supposed to start.
Annie has arrived at a local diner after receiving a text message from one of her trusted fixers that a potential time-killing job was available. She was given the details, then headed out when it was about time. She arrives a bit early, scopes the place out for potential set-ups, then heads on in for the meet once she is fairly satisfied it's as safe as its going to be.
It was a good night. Not only had shit gone smoothly, but Jag had scored that ShoestoreChick's LTG AND snagged a free soda on his way out of the mall. All while keeping eyes on li'l miss Corpchica, Daddy MoneyBucks'll be more than happy. But when it rains, it pours. Johnnie-B sent the loc, hooked him up with a pretty sexy UCAS:CAS coyote and before he knew it, the young amerind was in some retro-ass whiteboy Diner. He could hear the banjos playing almost immediately. Frag.
The diner is pretty much completely devoid of people except yourselves. As you sit there, the time tics by. Finally, you hear the screech of a sports car pulling into the parking lot far too quickly. A door slams, as a human man gets out with an annoyed look on his face. He walks very quickly into the diner, ordering an iced tea as he walks past the waitress. He sits down at the table with a sigh.
"Hello, my name is Teeg. Forgive my abruptness, but this is a huge waste of time for everyone involved and I want to get this over as quickly as I can. We all have better things to be doing." the johnson says.
Baron checks his watch, looking at the time, then looking over at the guy with the iced tea. He continues to sit and eat his food, waiting to see what the new arrival does. And since the guy started talking, he simply nods and slips out of his table, moving over to join the man. He grunts as he sits down, shifting his bulk in the seat.
Annie moves over to the area of the newcomer as well, "Hello Teeg", she states pleasantly, "What do you need done?"
The ork checks his phone and nods as he slips into a seat at the table. A seat directly across from Annie. As he admires the 'Logo' on her shirt, he says 'I gawt all de time in the worl' Ese.' Definately distracted, almost dreamily.
Teeg pulls out a magazine, flips it open to a Radio shack add, and points to a 500 nuyen speaker system. "Get me one of these. I don't care where you get it, I don't care how you get it. Just get it. Bring it here this time tomorrow. I'll consider it a personal favor."
That said, Teeg gets up, finishes his tea, drops some change on the table, and leaves. The magazine sits on the counter, still open to the Radio Shack add.
Baron sort of stares at the guy, watching him leave, then turning back to the others and frowning "Well, I'm not putting my SIN on that purchase, thats for sure."
Out in the parking lot, you hear the sports car peal rubber as it speeds off.
Jag starts as he glances over and notices Baron's -bulk- for the first time. His internal monologue skips a beat and suddenly the 'Squeal like a Pig' comment linked to the Banjo music that he'd heard in his head took on a whole different meaning. "Fuck mang. Give some kid some cred to buy thaat sheet. Too easy."
Leaning over the table, he continues. "What kinda system it is?"
Annie blinks as well, "This is more the kind of job you hire your sisters kid brother to do.", she shrugs and grabs the magazine to take a look at the speaker system. "Where's the nearest radio shack?", she states with a chuckle.
Baron shakes his head "Gotta be someone we don't care about, cause if this thing turns into a bomb somewhere, whoever buys it is fragged."
Jag's eyes follow the magazine up and away as Annie pulls it off of the table to look at it. With a shrug, he settles back into his seat.
«STAFF» Mirage says, "It's a high quality speaker system. Nothing crazy about it."
«STAFF» Mirage says, "Radio Shack is accross the street."
«STAFF» Mirage says, "It's a playback unit and a set of quad speakers, home stereo."
Annie drops it back on the tabletop for whomever else wants to take a look at it. She pulls out her pocsec and pulls up a listing, then chuckles to herself as she looks across the street and notices a sign. "Well, we would not have to go far I suppose."
"Ees dees easy, mang. We go aroun' back. Talk to the first kid we see smokin'. Has mees tits here smile like he pure abadesa. Tell heem we need it for a party. Tell heem he invited eef he buys it for us with his discount, front the cash. Give 'eem a little kiss. Kid sneak one out from the back room." Jag shrugs. "Ees only stereo."
Baron grunts "Sounds like a plan, as long as we got no witnesses to our part of this, not sure why he needed three people to do this."
Annie shrugs, "Works for me.", she drops some cash on the table to cover her drink and then stands.
Baron rises, waddling over to his table and throwing down enough cred to cover his unfinished meal. Then heads outside "Soooo, what exactly do I do here?"
Annie grins at Baron, "Give us a ride to the 'shack?"
The ork nods definitively and stands. "Just use what yo mami gotcha," he add with an appreciative look at Annie. "Yah, you her Sugar Poppi. He believe that. I weel keep watch out in the parkeen' lot. Just een case."
Baron shakes his head "Alright, I'll sit in my RV and watch the area, I'm sure you can make it across the street yourself."
«OOC» Annie says, "What time is it and what is the sec rating of the area?"
«STAFF» Mirage says, "Vulcan? Sec rating for CAS sector at 1pm in the day?"
«ADMIN» Vulcan says, "Describe neighborhood"
«STAFF» Mirage says, "Medium lifestyle"
«STAFF» Mirage says, "Not bad crime"
«STAFF» Mirage says, "Basically suburbs"
«ADMIN» Vulcan says, "High med, mid med, low med?"
«STAFF» Mirage says, "mid med"
«ADMIN» Vulcan says, "B"
Jag looks over at the discarded flyer. "Hmm, is that beeg? That look like a big box. I can't carry dat on my bike, ese."
Annie chuckles and nods at Baron, "He can probably pack it until delivery."
Baron grunts and nods "Sure, you can load it in my RV and I'll babysit it till tommorow."
Jag looks relieved. "Ah, si, si. Good idea mamaci."
Annie takes a sec to switch to a frequency she has used with Baron before, gives him a few minutes to get into position and stretch out his surveillance net, then heads out of the restaurant and across the street.
The ork exits the diner and janders over to his Harley. Flashing Annie and Baron the classic military two-fingered 'Eyes On' signal, he gives the pair a thumbs up and keeps a watch over the street and the Radio Shack across the way.
Baron returns to his RV, scanning the area to see if he can find a closer parking spot to the Radio Shack without being in the radio shack parking lot. He then sends out his bird drones, setting them on various buildings to observe the area in detail.
«Plot» Mirage says, "Annie makes it across the street safely."
«Plot» Mirage says, "Baron finds a closer Parking spot"
«Plot» Mirage says, "Jag, roll me some bike skill"
«Plot» Mirage says, "Tn is manuevering"
«Plot» Mirage says, "Of said bike"
Annie closes her eyes for a moment as the two guys that can probably carry this shit both opt to sit in their vehicles. Ah well chivalry went out with real rock music in the late 1970's anyway. She crosses in the cross-walk and then heads on inside the Radio Shack.
«OOC» Jag is staying in the Diner parking lot :)
«Auto-Judge[]» Jag (#6166) rolls Bike vs TN 3:
1 2 4 = 1 Success
«OOC» Jag says, "Sorry! Handling is 4. Still one success."
A man driving into the parking lot of the diner apparently wasn't paying attention, and nearly hits jag. Jag drives out of the way before the guy makes contact. He jacks his car up on the curb, messing up the fender.
«STAFF» Mirage says, "That is, the guy does that. Your bike is fine."
Jag grits his teeth and pretends not to notice. Normally he'd flip the guy off, or maybe roll him for some cred but shit - He had to keep his mind on the Big Heist(tm). The big brown-skinned ork in the canvas jacket does his best to look innocent. Stopping near the front curb, he pulls out his cell phone and pretends to talk on it. He even tosses a couple looks toward the guy in the Americar or whatever it is. Ooooh. Maybe he's calling his -lawwwwyer-.
Baron sits back in his bed, pulling out a bag of cheetos and starting to munch. He watches the video feeds, waiting to see if Annie gets the package, then he will send his drone to pick it up.
"Berd berd berd, de berds ees word," Jag hums to himself as he watches the minidrones in amazement. This was the second guy tonight that he'd seen with those things. "Almos' make you theenk if dey everywhere, fawwwk. So fly, dey in the sky like a berd." The ork snickers as he continues to keep a half-hearted eye out.
Inside the Radio Shack, a pair of twentish year old employees are behind the desk talking. One of them spots Annie walking inside, his jaw kinda hangs mid sentence. He nudges the other employee and tries to casually point to Annie. The second guy exclaims "holy shit.." under his breath as they both turn around, looking away from the beauty.
"Just play it cool, man"
"Dude, she's some kinda model or something, we don't got a chance."
"Shut up! Doesn't hurt to try."
Annie walks on up to the counter, "Hello.", she offers a pleasant smile to the two kids, "I need a Sony Quad-Sound Ultra Pro. You have any in stock?"
The first one, his name tag says "Jason", answers, "Uhhhh…"
The other, name tag says "Mark", says, "Hi! Welcome to Radio Shack. How can I help you?"
Baron moves to his fridge, grabbing a fizzy coke and then sitting back down on his bed, he watches the ebb and flow of humanity in the area, cars go by, people walk down the street. Basicly, he is bored.
Annie exhales slowly, "My twin sister and I were having a party tonight. We need a Sony. Quad-Sound. Ultra. Pro", she sounds out slowly, "I don't suppose you boys have a loaner? I could see my way to inviting you if thats the case."
Suddenly, a funny thought snakes it's way into Jag's head and he barks a loud laugh into his inactive cellphone. "Aw sheet. I gotta remember to axe him that."
"So… like… We go to the party, if we bring the stereo?" Jason asks.
"Hey, give us a moment, will you?" Mark replies.
They turn their backs again and take a few steps away.
"Omae, she's gonna lay us for that stereo, all we gotta do is bring it to a party!" says Mark.
"I dunno, man, we could get into trouble." Jason responds.
"Even if we get fired, it's soo worth it. Did you see her ass? And she's got a TWIN. TWINS, MAN. TWINS." Mark replies. Before Jason can say anything else, Mark turns around and says all cooly "So where's the party, babe?"
"My DJ has a van outside. If you could get him the system, he could get it set up for the party ahead of time.", Annie replies after a moment, "The party is at my house, and I can give you a hundred fifty nuyen cash as a deposit." She pauses here and takes a deep breath and adds breathily, "Please?"
«Plot» Mirage says, "Roll negotiations, Annie."
«Auto-Judge[]» Annie (#5398) rolls Negotiation + 4 (10kp) for "Negotiating":
1 1 1 2 2 5
«OOC» Annie says, "Focusing of the one that seems to be in charge."
«Auto-Judge[]» Annie (#5398) rolls Negotiation + 4 (10kp) for "Negotiating kp 11/29":
2 3 4 7 9 10
«STAFF» Mirage says, "Standing at 10 I assume?"
«OOC» Annie says, "Yeah, will have to be enough"
"Yeah, lets go get the stereo!" Mark says, heading to the back. Jason grabs Mark by the arm, "No way man, she's gonna need to buy it." he states. "What's with you?" Mark replies. "I need this job, dude, I am not gonna blow it on some bimbo who wants to con us out of a stereo" Joson responds.
Annie waves her hand, "Sure you do Jason."
«OOC» Annie says, "Using influence on Jason"
«OOC» Annie says, "Only at force 1 though so the sig doesn't linger long"
«STAFF» Mirage says, "Okay, sure."
Baron has no clue what is going on in the store, he is simply eating his bag of cheetos and wiping his hands on a paper towel, he is fairly clean for a fat guy. One fizzy coke down, he goes to his fridge and gets another. Its a dull day to be a rigger.
«OOC» Annie says, "What is Jasons willpower?"
«STAFF» Mirage says, "4"
«Auto-Judge[]» Annie (#5398) rolls Sorcery + Sorcery Pool: 10 + 2 (manip) + 6 (fp) vs TN 4 for "F1 Influence -> THis is a really good idea!":
1 1 1 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 8 10 11 13 17 = 15 Successes
«Auto-Judge[]» Annie (#5398) rolls Willpower + Sorcery Pool: 2 vs TN 2 for "Resist 2S Drain.":
2 2 3 3 3 5 5 5 5 8 8 11 13 20 = 14 Successes
The amerind ork crosses his arms and leans back in the saddle. His eyes are half-slits in the midday sun. Eventually he tires of watching the bird drones and starts wondering what kind of goodies that guy keeps in his RV. Slot's prolly chillin', watchin' trid and shit right now. It's all he can do to keep himself from walking over there and knocking on the door.
"You know what? Frag it. Lets go get that stereo and get layed tonight, man. I'll buy the speakers, and that way we won't get into any trouble." Jason suddenly decides. They head into the back room, get a bigass box, and bring it to the counter. They scan it, Jason slots some cred, and Mark says "So when's the party? And where?"
"Oh thankyou!", Annie gushes when the guys decide to cooperate, "You are such a lifesaver! The party starts at eight, and is at [insert nearby residential address here].", she subvocalizes over her comm, «Can I get a vehicle that appears professional DJ'ish at the back door of the 'shack?»
Baron grunts and sends the command to his RV, the paint scheme changes a bit and changes to black with red flames on the bottom. Across the back side is the words "DJ Flame" and then he starts maneuvering the big vehicle around to get into the alley.
Commlink-Baron> Baron says, "On the way, DJ Flame coming at ya"
Annie spontaneously gives the guys a hug and peck on the cheek, "DJ Flame should have his van 'round back!", she giggles, "Buffy is going to love you for this! And you are just her type too!"
The two guys carry the heavy box out the back together after writing down the address. "So we'll see you at eight?" They both say in unison. (Jynx!)
Annie nodnods eagerly, "Definitely!"
Jag blinks, then cackles as the RV's paint job changes right before his eyes. "Now -that-, ees straight up Zorrero."
Baron opens the door to his RV remotely, and uses his Servitor drone to pick up the music box. No sense letting the guys see a big fat guy.
"Oh man, a robot DJ?! This is gonna be the coolest party ever!" Mark says.
Annie waves at the boys, gives them a final snuggle and hops into the van once the stereo is loaded up, taking a moment to verify the contents before giving Baron the GoGoGo! signal.
The drone picks up the stereo and lugs it back into the van, not saying a thing, the door closes and once Annie is on board he heads out down the alley and turning the corner.
«Plot» Mirage says, "You make a clean getaway."
Baron slowly shifts his paint scheme as he heads home, first the DJ Flame vanishes, then the flames vanish, until its all a black RV by the time he circles the block and drops Annie off at her vehicle.
Jag kicks his Harley to life as he sees the RV coming back around the back o' the 'Shack. He splits and tails the RV for a ways, then breaks with a nod towards it's driver.
«STAFF» Mirage says, "Alternatively… You could go to the party."
«OOC» Annie says, "I should."
«OOC» Baron says, "But then she has to sleep with kids :)"
«OOC» Jag says, "Might be able to score more Radio Shack swag though."
«OOC» Jag grins.
«STAFF» Mirage says, "Interesting fallout: "Rumor: Annie is a 500 nuyen hooker!""
«STAFF» Mirage kids.
«Plot» Annie goes to the party then. When the boys show up, I will narcoject them, splash them with booze, use Alter Memories to give them wild party night memories from some Porno I saw while I was in a Sorority, then dump them in an alley somewhere with an empty condom box.
«OOC» Baron laughs
«OOC» Jag says, "Omg, that's more cruel than standing them up."
«OOC» Annie says, "Hehe"
«Plot» Mirage says, "So you lot show up at the Diner the next day after Annie puts together a party on the spot and ditches the boys in an alley the night before. You give the Speaker System to Teeg, who tells you all thanks for the trouble, if you ever need anything, give him a call, and leaves his number."
«Plot» Annie says, "Guess I will take Teeg as a contact :p"
«Plot» Baron will take Teeg as a contact too, what the heck
«Plot» Jag would gladly, too.
Plot Complete!
