Three Ghouls walk into a bar.

GM: Mojo
Players: Hunni, Shoeshine Boy, Grim, Hollywood
Synopsis: Three Ghouls, disguised as vampires are walked into the Cybered Arms by an unknown entitiy and set loose, only to be promptly gunned down.
Date: 28/11/2071

Three men enter the bar, they are clothed pretty tightly against the cold, and thier skin is very pale. There is also a slight odor with them, something foul. They move over to find a spot to sit, remaining quiet.

Trading cred for another beer, Hollywood grins at Hunni and shrugs a little bit. She runs a hand through her red hair and replies, "I wouldn't say 'expert', but I do know a few things about sealing deals… Whatever the flavor." Hollywood sips her beer for a moment or two, expression turning thoughtful. "I also know a few things about dancing," she adds, momentarily oblivious to the malodorous entrants.

Keegan watches as the South Division play a game against the Atlanta Braves on the Trid. "I got 50 nuyen on this game." She mutters. Duke offers, rather helpfully… "Sucker."

Shoeshine Boy , if he were a betting dwarf, would put his money down on 'vampire.' If one of them says, "I do not drink… wine," he'll plotz. But he knows

Keegan has the big guns and he's as loaded as he needs to be. The question isn't what they're doing here, it's what they do when they leave.

Shoeshine Boy , at least, knows to go for headshots on the vampires.

A woman in another corner gets up from her spot, and approaches the group. She smiles at them "Hello, what would you folks like?"

One of the men looks up and says "I vould like a blood."

The Second pale skinned man nods "I vould like a blood too."

The third pale skinned man shakes his head. "I vould like a Plasma."

The woman nods "Ok, let me see if I get this right. Two bloods and a blood light?"

Keegan stares from at the bar, just, too stunned to do anything. Duke, sitting at the end of the bar mutters "What the frag?"

Shoeshine Boy gotta say it. "Only thing I can't stand about Santa Carla. All the god-damned vampires." He puts on his gloves, drains his NERPS.

"… This is a beer and not a bottle full of hallucinogens, right?"

In Hollywood's experience, it absolutely never hurts to ask for verification on that front. She looks directly at Keegan until she gets an answer, only then turning to look at the pale guys.

Hunni too looks over as the three pale men walk in, perhaps seeming a little rude to Hollywood as her attention goes elsewhere, still she looks back to the other woman with a nod and places her drink down. "As much as I myself love dancing, I think places like Chrome or ONE are more along the lines"

Shifting through a group of people hanging out near the door about to Leave comes Grim, his mask off and decent comfortable clothes. He looks as if he had just won the lottery, a smirk is on his face much like a shark as he approaches the bar nodding to Keegan. He nods as he ask for his usual, looking over at a Ork who Grim may or may not know. Nodding he turns back to Keegan with a smile.

Keegan grunts in response to Grim's order. She takes a moment to pour, then pass him a tall, not quite frosty beer in an almost-clean plastic mug.

The waitress woman starts giggling, at first it sounds normal, then it becomes rather high pitched and starts to echo. She slowly fades from sight, leaving only her giggling in her wake. As soon as she vanishes, the three figures change, no longer obvious vampires, but something a bit more common to the warrens, and the stench got worse suddenly. Ghouls. They seem disoriented at the moment, looking around in confusion, and then alarm.

Shoeshine Boy waves his hand at the ghouls. "Shoo, shoo. You got controlled. Someone is playing a trick."

Shoeshine Boy says "You're ghouls, not vampires."

«Auto-Judge[]» Shoeshine Boy (#844) rolls Magic Background:

Shoeshine Boy says "And the woman was probably an astral form, manifesting. Following you in so she doesn't lose the magical control."

Shoeshine Boy says "But you're ghouls so you could see her, while people in a street sammy bar could not."

«OOC» Hunni blinks. "Give them a second to react man'

«STAFF» Mojo says, "Yea, calm down Shoe, other folks might want to shoot"

You paged Vulcan with 'Hey can I ask a quick question?'.

A pair of Shape-13 Gangers enter and take a seat at the bar.
"…" Hollywood looks at the ghouls, the space where the waitress was, and then at her bottle of beer. She slowly turns around and sets it down on the bar counter before swivelling on her bar stool to look between the ghouls and the door. Could she make that run? That's the question in her pretty little red-haired head.

The Jukebox kicks over, starting to play 'Plasticrete heart' by Concrete Dreams.

Grim turns his head around then his hips as he sits to look up at the Ghouls. Looking over from the Ghouls to the two men who just sat down, the big nasty trolls with some snot hanging off his bull ring. Grim frowns noticing the hardline gloves and its metal casing along the knuckles, kinda asking for a fight Grim would say. Then looking back at the ghouls he readys his empty beer glass in case he has to break in in defense of someobody here.

«STAFF» Mojo says, "Ok, lets go random! 1-3 Ghouls are insane, 4+ Ghouls are still pretty smart."

At this point, Keegan has her shotgun in hand, still someone confused by the whole setup. Duke himself has a pair of heavy pistols drawn now. There is the slightest moment of hesitatation, and then….

«STAFF» Mojo says, "Inits!"

The Jukebox kicks over, starting to play 'Steel Skeleton' by Concrete Dreams.

«OOC» Hollywood says, "I'm a little creeped out that they effectively have taken identical hits after dodge."

As the ghouls realize where they are, and that there is all this fresh meat around that would taste alot better dead. One of them growls, its mouth opening and ghoul saliavia dripping all over keegans….well, mostly clean floor. Keegan doesn't hesistate, before the ghoul can even start to raise its arms to move there is a loud BLAM! from the bar. A slug from a shogtun tears a hole in the ghouls chest, driving it back against the wall and it slowly sinks to the floor. A second BLAM is heard, and another ghoul is thrown back against the wall, a gaping hole in his chest, and diseased fluids leaking all over the place. The third ghoul, not really rational enough to say, I should get the frag out of here. Raises its arms to go after the closest person…..Hollywood!

Keegan sets out a fresh bowl of stale pretzels.
As a free action

«STAFF» Mojo says, "Yes, and keegan does indeed set out pretzels right after that"

«OOC» Hunni snickers
«OOC» Hunni says, "*BAMBAM* have a pretzel"
«OOC» Hunni says, "I suppose I have to roll quickdraw, or will you accept them changing was time to go for my guns?"
«STAFF» Mojo says, "Shoe, your up!"
«OOC» Hunni says, "Oh right, shoe >.>"
«STAFF» Mojo says, "Yes, You dont have to quickdraw"

Shoeshine Boy says, "I was gonna say, "Spill no blood!" as one hand comes up to shield his mouth and nose, and the other left-hooks the dead thing kindneywards.

«Auto-Judge[]» Shoeshine Boy (#844) rolls Escrima + Combat Pool: 4 vs TN 4 for "Whacking!":

«STAFF» Mojo says, "Ghoul dies!"
«STAFF» Mojo says, "Pose it up!"

As Keegan draws her very own shotgun very similar to the one Hunni's spotter uses the asian woman's hands smoothly close on the hidden weapons inside her jacket, smoothly drawing her pistol it's leveled in a heartbeat and her trigger is squeezed. The creature that probably thought it was so smart to have stepped out of the way of Shoeshine's punch ends up having it's heart introduced to a single round of her heavy pistol.

«STAFF» Mojo says, "Make sure you leave in keegans emits :)"
«OOC» Hunni says, "Including the pretzels and the jukebox? :p"
«STAFF» Mojo says, "Yep :)"
«STAFF» Mojo says, "@mail me when its up, and I'll give you some bonus karma"

Silence, at least for a moment. Keegan waits a few seconds to see if anything else happens, then slowly lowers the shotgun. "Damn it, now I gotta get this place cleaned up." She mutters and moves over to call someone who takes care of hazardous materials like ghoul corpses. Duke holsters his weapons and shakes his head. "What the hell was that all about anyway?"

Grim sighs in dissapoitment a little as he turns around and looks at Keegan still surprised on what just happen. "Well you have one able body here willing to help you move these bodies out of here if you want?" He looks back at the Ghouls then to Hunni at the same time grabbing some pretzels and munching a few. He shrugs "I had my beer glass just in case." Although uncommon for Grim to not have a knife or pistol on him, seems this surprise trully surprised him.

«OOC» Hunni says, "Poor Hollywood, Hunni would have fired right past her."

Shoeshine Boy asks Keegan and Duke, "You got any old enemies of the finger wiggler type, or the vampire type?"

Shoeshine Boy says "Both of them could have pulled this off."

«Auto-Judge[]» Grim (#9286) rolls Street Rumors for "MOJO? Would you say I heard the rumor about Keegan wanting to seel the bar?":
1 1 2 2
«STAFF» Mojo says, "Not with that roll"

«OOC» Grim says, "That would be a no. lol"

«OOC» Grim says, "I know right. :p"

The Jukebox kicks over, starting to play 'Born to Die' by Rebel Tusks.
«OOC» Grim will waits for more pose.

«STAFF» Mojo says, "Ok, thats it for me tonight. I'm up passed my bedtime. Hunni, capture as much more as you want and put it on the wiki, @mail me and I'll give you some bonus karma."

It takes a few moments for Hollywood to recapture her resolve, green eyes wide as she looks over at Hunni. "… I appreciate th-the assist…" She leaves the 'but did you need to shoot past my ear' part unsaid. It's better that way, she's sure. For the moment, Fiona focuses on slipping the throwing knife currently in her hand back into whatever was holding it up her jacket sleeve earlier.

"Welcome," Hunni says smoothly, looking at the aftermath of her single deadly shot. Holstering the weapon back inside the jacket she at least resisted the urge to blow smoke of the barrel. The weapon holstered she looks to the elf, then to the bar owner and guards. Seems her little quickdraw was alright in the bar in this case. Maybe she can get a free drink out of it!

Shoeshine Boy gets out a mirror and a cloth, spits into it, makes sure his face is clear. Bad idea to aspirate any of this.

Shoeshine Boy says, "Best not to eat or drink anything that might have ghoul blood on it. Don't infect yourself with Kreiger strain if you don't have to. Have a fine night, all

Shoeshine Boy pushes open a sliding door and leaves.

"… I'll keep that in mind," replies Fiona to Shoeshine. She looks back at Hunni, then over at her abandonned beer, then at Keegan. Coughing/Clearing her throat, Hollywood stands up and glances around the bar. "Maybe I'll just mosey on home. This has been a… Night to remember."

"No kidding," Hunni murmers and looks down. Force of habbit to double-check for brass, even if her guns are mostly all caseless now. Giving a little nod to Keegan and her boys (who are probably paying her no attention what-so-ever) she moves to walk, obviously intending to head home. "So ghouls this time…"
