GM: Nightshade
Players: Knox
Synopsis: Knox looks into the rep of a runner that goes by Nightshade
Date: Oct 15 2070
Knox watches as his most recent employer leaves the Cool Cat Jazz club. He pulls out a disposable credstick, pulls on a peacoat to protect against the chilly Denver night and starts hitting up the local shadow establishments. Particularly The Big House and The Cybered Arms. He recalls meeting the troll previously, but he never really did have much contact with her.
He spends a couple of bucks on rounds asking the locals any rumors on a runner by the name of "Nightshade"

Over at the big house one of the regulars says, "Nightshade? Oh, yeah. I ain't heard nuthin' bad about her. What I've heard is that she's slightly careful, just a little hard-working, to some extent dependable and slightly friendly. I mean, she's got a respectable set of skills. But overall, she's workin' for somethin' besides just the almighty nuyen. That's all I know."
Behind the bar Eddy laughs, "You kidding? That slitch /only/ works for the almighty nuyen. She'll walk if you don't put half up front in some form or another, and she's mighty hard to convince if that form ain't cash."
Knox smiles at Eddy's info, "Sounds like my kind of girl. What sort of work does she do, bodyguard stuff?"
Eddy chuckles, "You got enough Nuyen, she'll do any kind of work." Eddy looks over Knox, "Though mind you show an awful lot of cash before you ask for anything a quality girl might find insulting…already had to pick several patrons teeth out of the bar for asking for things they didn't have the bankroll to back." He pats the bar which is made of concrete and steel.
Knox nods, he rolls a toothpick around his tusks. "You got a way I can get in touch with her?"
Eddy hunts around behind the bar for a bit, then comes up with a small business card. He offers it over to Knox, "Here, this is one of hers." The card reads "Nightshade's Gathering Service. For all the needs of your Gathering Places" What looks like a cellphone number and a trixmail account are listed. "She did some work for the previous owner here, maybe a year ago, redecorated the office or something."
Knox nods, "Hey uh, appreciate you keepin' this between you and me eh? I'm still looking for some people to put something together and I don't want word to spread that I'm eh, hiring when I'm not just yet, yea?"

Eddy catches the drift and doesn't appear to have a problem with that, but there's a certain aire about the way he leaves his massive trollish hand on the bar with his palm up, a certain nonchalance in the way he looks away from you for a moment, that seems to indicate something might appear in his hand that he'd be so surprised to find there he might tuck it away into his pocket and not question where it came from.
Knox rolls a credstick worth 50 bucks, it's not much but he's not asking for much then how to get in touch really. "Hey take it easy." He leaves.
Eddy looks a bit confused as if unsure what Knox is talking about but waves Knox a good day.
Knox leaves and heads back to his hangout.
