GM: Sickle
Players:Haley
Synopsis: Haley is hired to murder two people. A girl, and her bodyguard, both of whom know too much about the financial goings on of the Red Hammers. Along the way, this being The Warrens, a small-time gang tries to mug her. Dispatching of the gangers, and then of her targets bodyguard, Haley finds herself confronted with the fact that the other target… is just fourteen years old. Despite this cruel twist of fate, she follows through on her mission, and obtains her blood money.
Date: March 1st, 2070
Word has been routed directly to Haley. It seems there is some quick money to be made, for the discrete, quick-witted murderer on the go.
The meet is due to take place in an alleyway down in the Warrens. To say that the woman who is waiting there looks nervous would be an understatement. She's short, with mousy brown hair, and she's dressed in very heavy clothing against the evening chill. A thick trenchcoat flows down almost entirely covering her, though there are telltale bulges which imply a lot more armor, and maybe some weapons, underneath.
Details on the work were light. Just that it would be messy, and it needed to be kept quiet. Haley's growing reputation as a rather vicious individual has served her well…
Wrapping herself up in her best warm coat, Haley stuffs her machine pistol into her jacket. She checks her phone and smiles, looking at the location on the text message she says, "Oooh, mysterious," with a little laugh. She gathers up her purse and then heads in the direction of where she's supposed to meet the lady in waiting. She steps into the alley, heedless of any potential danger. God help anyone that were to try to attack her in a darkened alley, right? She spots the woman and gives her a friendly smile saying, "Hiya," her voice ever cheerful.
The woman nods her head in return, "Good evening." She replies, with the faintest hint of a german accent. Bringing her hand out of her pocket, she offers a small optical chip to the ever-cheerful woman. Really, she couldn't look much less cheerful herself. A perfect contrast. "It is a simple thing." She says, slowly, "You go and you kill the two people who are living in that room in the Crank. When you have done so, bring me the girls head. In exchange, I will give you fifteen thousand nuyen. Only one of the pair has any knowledge of self defense. It is a fair deal, is it not?"
Fishing her poc-sec Haley slots the chip into it. She looks over the data and she says, "Oh yeah, sure, really good deal actually." She smiles as she reads over the file as she asks, "Any of them magically awakened?"
The file gives some information. Mostly about the room the pair are staying in, 24, and the security measures around the Crank. Which are essentially nonexistent. "No." She replies. "The man she is with may have some cyberware. That is the extent of it."
Sucking in her lips so they make a scvich sound when she's finished looking over the data Haley says, "Alrighty, Oi'll take care ah this. Ya want the goil's head, Oi can do that no problem." She scratches behind her left ear as she says, "Oi'll needa go pick myself up a nice big plastic bag. Where ya want me to drop off the head when Oi'm done with 'em?"
The woman smiles slightly, "Good." She says, "The chip is pass-protected past that initial data. The password is Mallet. That will give you my contact number, and when you have finished, we will do an exchange in a nearby carpark."
"Oi like your style," says Haley appreciatively as she types in the word Mallet. She says with a grin, "Oi'll see ya in a couple howas," giving the woman a wave she exits the alley reading over the information as she goes. While to most it would seem that she's totally oblivious in truth Haley is a lot more attentive. She only glances down at the information, her eyes dance up and around constantly, and she keeps her ears alert for any potential threat.
The woman gives a slight nod, and then she backs off the other way.
Haley can hear the motor of a car starting, but aside from that, there doesn't seem to be any more immediate threat than the usual in this part of the Warrens. Up above, something humanoid shifts, silhouetted against the darkness. But it isn't paying much attention to her. Rats scurry and dogs bark, but all seems… comparatively… still.
Continuing her stroll down the sidewalk, Haley walks in and around the various light poles that remain standing, sort of a game of zig-zag with herself. Her eyes trace over the data on the file as she meanders in the direction of the Crank.
Being Haley as she is, about halfway to the Crank, she has picked up some attention. There's still maybe twenty more minutes walking to go. A gang of about half a dozen youths, four human men, one woman, and an ork of indeterminate gender (really, it is ugly enough and… wearing a bizarre mix of masculine and feminine clothing, one really doesn't want to look). They are following behind her, and increasing in speed.
The poc-sec goes into her purse, Haley knows this game, the big bad gang are going to accost her. So she has fun with it, she picks up her pace a little, looking worried over her shoulder. She clutches it close to her chest as she starts to run, looking for an alley to dart into to hide from the people following her.
"Hey hey, sweet thing!" Calls one of the men, as the gang chuckles amongst itself and picks up the pace to follow her, "Come back sweetie, ain't nobody gonna
hurt a cute lil' thing like you round here!"
And, naturally, they round the corner into the alley in which Haley has ducked.

«OOC» Sickle says, "Okay… the leader, and an underling, take an L wound, everyone else panics and scatters, but aren't hurt."
Running frantically down the alley, Haley says, "No, someone save me." She turns around and as the gangers file into the alley she says, "Suckas!" Her laughter rolls past her lips as the machine pistol lifts up, the folding stock goes to her shoulders. She waves the pistol around, it rumbles in her hand making a brrrpt sound. Bullets fly and bounce off walls peppering the gangers sending them scattering. As two remain, she gives them a cheerful smile.

Taking a step between the nearst dumpster and the gangers, Haley stitches the leader from thigh to shoulder with a full auto spray. She laughs hysterically as she says, "Who want's a promotion," her voice ringing out of the alley. The leader looks like a poleaxed ox as he falls to his knees and then flops forward on his face in a pool of his own blood.

Only two of the gangers remain, ironically, the woman, and the ork. With the leader bleeding out, the other three bottle it, but, maybe driven by some mad sense of loyalty, the woman brings a sawn-off shotgun out from underneath her jacket. A truly dangerous weapon, she squeezes the trigger, and then smacks the ork on the back with the butt of the gun when the bullets fail to catch the elf.
"Get in there and break her fraggin' face ya ogly sonofabitch!"

«OOC» Sickle says, "Okay, the ork lunges at you, describe what happens to him :P"
The ork charges Haley, triggers a mental switch. Blades pop out of her fingertips and she shoves her fingertips into the ork's mouth as it starts to yell. The fingers widen and the blades rip out through the tusker's cheeks. Blood drools down the side of its ruined face as the elf girl places her free hand against her lips, a classic 'Oops' expression.

«OOC» Sickle says, "I actually got the numbers wrong there. With penalties, it's 10D, so, splat."
The ork doesn't see it coming, well they might have seen it coming but even if they survived the attack they'd never see anything else coming. Its a pity that in 2070 the classics have gone out of style or the ork would have known how to save themselves. Index and middle fingers in a V, Haley stabs the blades into their eyes as she says, "Whaddare you, a wiseguy?" The ork goes down in a heap and she flicks the ocular fluid off her fingertips.
«Auto-Judge[]» Sickle (#5951) rolls 2 vs TN 6:

«OOC» Sickle says, "Obviously, you first."
«OOC» Sickle says, "The girl looks queasy, by the by"
"Look toots," says Haley from behind cover, "Oi know what its like to have a bad day. Really, Oi do. Oi've had a lot of them." She looks down at her machine pistol and she says, "Oi got half a clip left, Oi have three more handy and you're all alone." She laughs sharply and she says, "Oi'll tell ya what, you go on now, leave me alone. Tell ya buddies you kicked my hoop. Heck, you're the leader now, amOiright?"
Silence, is the response.
Taking a moment to reload her machine pistol, Haley peeks around the corner of her dumpster with her makeup compact. The sponge falls into the alley and she says, "Shoot," disappointed. She stands up, closes the mirror and folds up the stock of her gun. That goes under her jacket as she walks out of the alley, she tenses up a little but seeing she's not shot she says, "Taaadaaa!" No applauds, so she heads to the Crank.
The Crank is as The Crank always is. Home to the lowest of the low, and the Shadowrunners who didn't mind mingling amongst them. The frayed burgundy carpet is just as cheap and worn as ever, and there is the constant, loud thumping, banging, shouting, and general racket which tends to come with living with people to whom the idea of 'consideration' is not only foreign, but may as well be astral.
It's just a matter of walking in, really. There's sure as hell not anyone trying to keep people *out*
Walking inside the Crank, Haley wanders towards the door she's supposed to go to. She stands beside it and leans against the wall, she holds her breath and takes a few moments listening to see what sorts of things she can hear inside.
«OOC» Sickle says, "Stealth check, please."
«Auto-Judge[]» Haley (#4416) rolls Stealth for "Right. Stealth":

It's really rather difficult to hear much over the general roar of the Crank itself. But the flickering light is on, visible underneath the closed door. That's about the best sign that someone is home.
Pulling out her makeup compact again, Haley smudges her right index finger with the base. She then smears that over the plastic peephole to make it opaque to anyone looking through it. She then knocks on the door standing at the left hand side of it and she says, "Amy, come on, we gotta go party. Didja forget tha Nova Hots are playin' at Chrome tonight?"
For a moment longer, the silence continues.
Then there's the sound of heavy footsteps, and the unmistakable sound of a shotgun being pumped. Obviously being done for dramatic intent. "I *TOLD* you fraggin' lowlives to LEAVE US ALONE!" Comes a bellowing shot. "This AIN'T Amy's place, now GET OUTTA IT."
Laughing like a giggly teenager Haley says, "Aw you're just tryin' ta be funny now. Oi don' know what boyfriend you are this week, but Amy an' Oi gotta date we gotta meet. You know, not a date like YOU but you know like a callenda." She flicks open her razors as she stays well out of the way of the front door. "C'mon Amy, let's go before they give out all the Novacoke."

The walls in The Crank are very thin indeed. This is proven most conclusively when a blast of shotgun fire, apparently having been tracking roughly where he thought Haley would be, takes a large chunk right out of the wall near her. It's not close enough to actually be dangerous, but the intent is pretty clear. Someone is paranoid.
«Plot» Haley says, "Okay, seeing he's announced more or less where he is, I want to crash through the door and try to hit him with it."

This is how it works on Dial 1-800-TheCops, you got someone on the other side of the door, you bust it in on them. Haley, slams into the door, but the man on the other side must be a fan too. He shoves the door back and the top half snaps off and hits Haley on the head. Laughing a little at that she says, "Owch," as she gets ready for the fight.

Haley comes forward with her hand razors, but it looks like the big man in the doorway is faster than he seems. His shotgun comes up to block the razors, and they scrape across the weapon with a nasty scratching sound. Then he presses his attack, slamming his elbow into Haley's nose. But, he still doesn't stop. Now that it's clear Haley isn't just a random passerby, it's time to bring her down. One meaty hand reaches out to try and snare the elf by the wrist…

The blades attached to Haley's fingertips rake across the man's left cheek leaving three neat lines across them. Blood beings to flow from the wounds as she continues the swing leaving blood across the wall. She presses forward into the room as she says, "Hiya," her voice never changing from her carefree attitude.

Working her way further into the room, Haley presses the attack, she tries to maneuver herself so that the woman is at her back right. The blades slice across the man's cheek, only the index caresses right cheek. She laughs and says, "Aw, Oi missed!"

The man swings his shotgun around, and a second blast of close-range fire goes crashing through the floor, kicking up splinters into the air. It's worth noting, at this point, that the girl *is* just a girl. She looks to be about 14, blonde, and is cowering and crying in the corner of the room.

The machine pistol rumbles again another burst to the guy's torso. The light rounds flatten against the guy's chest. She asks, "What are you, part troll," getting a little frustrated. However there are two things that cure frustration and one of them is the click of your pistol going to full auto.
The guy reaches for Haley's pistol and she struggles with him a moment to keep it. She shakes her head and says, "Oh no, we can't do that." She shrugs and says, "Well, you want it. Here." She squeezes the trigger and the man goes down in a bloody mess. She heaves a sigh and looks over at the girl. She steps towards her and holsters the pistol. She says, "Okay hon, we need to talk you and me."
The man goes down in a heap, and the girl screams even louder. Naturally, this being the Warrens, nobody is coming to poke their noses in. She scrambles up from the floor, backing off quickly, "S-stay away from me!" She shrieks, fear and desperation painfully obvious in her eyes.
She feels a momentary flicker of sympathy for the girl. Its not often, but the girl reminds her a little of herself once long ago. There's a war in Haley's mind, someone has to die. It could be this innocent image of herself, or it could be the Johnson. The moment is just that, she moves up to the girl and she says, "Close your eyes hon, this'll be quick an' painless."
The girl shakes her head and she holds her hands up to protest she says, "No, please." Haley lifts her razors and the girl closes her eyes, she says, "Hon, I'm doin' ya a favor. You don' wanna end up like me." She kisses the girl's forehead and then slashes the blades across her throat. The metal digs into the bone and she pulls the girl by the ears separating head from shoulders. She sighs and stuffs it into a garbage bag. Wrapping it into a blanket she slings it over her shoulder and she says to herself, "She's better off, people can't hurt her no more." She departs the Crank, her arms covered in blood. She makes the call to the Johnson to meet up with her in the parking lot of The Big House.
The meet is set up, and at the appointed time, a beaten up old car pulls into the parking lot.
The woman steps out of the car, and pulls a credstick from her pocket. "You work quickly." She comments, "Thank you. It is, a weight off my shoulders, not to need to worry about this particular issue any more." She holds out her hand, "The bag, please?"
A careful slit is put in the base of the bag, Haley takes her credstick and tosses the bag to the woman. Flinging blood at her in the process. She says, "Pleasah doin' business with ya toots. Enjoy your Ha-Ha-Happy meal." With that she walks off, heading someplace quiet for a while.
The woman manages to catch the bag, and gives a slight grimace of distaste at the splatter of blood which trickles over her outfit. Now she'd have to burn these clothes. Sigh.
"Enjoy your money." She states, coldly. Checking that the contents of the bag are, in fact, what was ordered, she nods to herself, and moves to dump the bag in a nearby trashcan.
