  2. 2:43:48 PM <Nick|GM> ...
  3. 2:43:50 PM <-> ColdGold is now known as CG|Spotlight
  4. 2:45:00 PM <-- Stoic (Stoic@net-n3k0uk.nj.comcast.net) has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
  5. 2:46:49 PM <Nick|GM> It's been a while since Spotlight robbed the Normal base. He managed to sell off all the stuff he took, both to people in his territory and to the Brokers, over the next few days, and the burden of the water bill is no longer so heavy. He'll have to pay again next month, but for now he's free and clean, and a month is a long time in Pueblo.
  6. 2:47:47 PM <Nick|GM> In the meantime, he's been patrolling like a madman, nonstop. Even sleep is staved off by his Breaker state, to an extent, and he can't have anyone harming his people.
  7. 2:50:54 PM <Nick|GM> While patrolling, nothing immediately suspicious popped up, but he did get the distinct feeling that something wasn't right. He'd been almost sure that he was being followed on two occaisions, but when he tried to confront the tail, nothing.
  8. 2:50:58 PM <Nick|GM> He also contacted Imperative and Moira Kane, the most heroic capes in Pueblo aside from him, as far as he can tell, and set up meetings with the two of them. The meeting with Imperative is today, Saturday, at 1:00. It's noon now, and the meeting is just outside of his territory.
  9. 2:51:24 PM <Nick|GM> It shouldn't take long to get there, but arriving early could be a good idea. ||
  10. 2:52:53 PM <CG|Spotlight> Curry's head is flowing tendrils of light and information, and he's clothed in his flowing white duster, his broad sword strapped to his back.
  11. 2:54:34 PM <CG|Spotlight> He spends most of his time like this nowadays, almost to the point of neglecting his personal life. His territory needs him. He knows the women at the whore house are worried about him but the constant steam of perfect information is almost addictive like a drug, and the world is dull and boring without it. He doesn't even need to sleep anymore, and he'd be
  12. 2:54:34 PM <CG|Spotlight> lying if he said it wasn't getting to his head.
  13. 2:55:58 PM <CG|Spotlight> He wants to do more than just protect a small group of people, he can do it. He's the Spotlight Pueblo can look to.
  14. 2:56:32 PM <CG|Spotlight> For now he heads to his meeting keeping his eyes watchful as usual, he'll have to drop his state soon for the first time in almost a day to talk.
  15. 2:56:34 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  16. 2:58:11 PM <Nick|GM> Tuesday's snow is still on the ground, but it's mushy and gross now. There's just as much water on the ground as snow, and none of it is particularly clean.
  17. 2:58:56 PM <Nick|GM> He walks down the road through his neighborhood, towards downtown.
  18. 2:59:04 PM <Nick|GM> ((roll Wits, awareness applies))
  19. 3:01:18 PM <CG|Spotlight> $roll 1d6-1 Wits
  20. 3:01:18 PM <[ATM]> CG|Spotlight \"Wits\" [4] -1 = 3
  21. 3:01:34 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((Or do you want me to roll a pool?))
  22. 3:01:53 PM <Nick|GM> ((Pool, please))
  23. 3:02:17 PM <CG|Spotlight> $roll 8d6! Dicepool
  24. 3:02:17 PM <[ATM]> CG|Spotlight \"Dicepool\" [6] [6] [1] [6] [2] [5] [2] [5] = 6, 6, 1, 6, 2, 5, 2, 5
  25. 3:03:09 PM <CG|Spotlight> Wits - 6
  26. 3:03:28 PM <Nick|GM> ((-1, so 5))
  27. 3:03:42 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((Yep))
  28. 3:04:14 PM <Nick|GM> He clearly hears another set of footsteps from behind him in the street, highlighted in the stream of data constantly entering and exiting his mind.
  29. 3:04:15 PM <CG|Spotlight> Wits - (6-1 = 5)
  30. 3:04:22 PM <Nick|GM> ||
  31. 3:05:18 PM <CG|Spotlight> He spins on his heel and draws his blade from his back in a smooth motion, flaring his tendrils of light. He focuses his perception on the footsteps.
  32. 3:05:33 PM <CG|Spotlight> All other thoughts cease. It's important to be vigilant.
  33. 3:05:46 PM <CG|Spotlight> A misstep is death in Pueblo.
  34. 3:05:47 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  35. 3:06:31 PM --> Divock (Divock@net-hiq9eb.pa.comcast.net) has joined #WDPueblo
  36. 3:06:57 PM <Nick|GM> He turns quickly, but even so, whoever it was has time to duck behind a corner. Spotlight sees the ripples still present in the puddle of water on the ground. ||
  37. 3:08:03 PM <CG|Spotlight> He's tired of being stalked by whoever it is that's been following him. He's left for his meeting early and that means he has time to end this, now.
  38. 3:09:39 PM <CG|Spotlight> Curry darts after the ripples, following after every little sign of movement he can find. He uses the info he's fed to try and move as quickly and efficiently as possible. He does have a schedule to keep after all.
  39. 3:09:40 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  40. 3:12:46 PM <Nick|GM> It's easy enough to catch up to the person. As soon as he turns the corner, he sees them. A man wearing dark colors, clothes entirely too intact and clean to be a civilian. He's standing still, only a few yard behind the corner. He must not have expected Spotlight to come after him. ||
  41. 3:16:12 PM <CG|Spotlight> Spotlight stands in a neutral position, not yet dropping his lights and holding his blade by his side. He cocks his neck to the side and 'eyes' the man curiously taking him in with all the detail his power affords him. Does he recognize him?
  42. 3:16:27 PM <CG|Spotlight> He waits for the man to speak before deciding to drop his state.
  43. 3:16:29 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  44. 3:17:58 PM <Nick|GM> It's not someone he recognizes, and he's not wearing a mask or any sort of costume, so he's probably not a cape, but he doesn't look nervous at all. He must have a trick up his sleeve.
  45. 3:18:49 PM <Nick|GM> A few seconds pass, both men silent, staring at each other, when the stalker's phone rings.
  46. 3:18:49 PM <Nick|GM> \"Um. Mind if I take this?\" ||
  47. 3:20:19 PM <CG|Spotlight> Spotlight gestures to him that it's okay and leans agains the closest wall, putting both hands on the pommel of his sword. The lights from the opened bottom of his head flow randomly and afford an ambience to the alley.
  48. 3:20:20 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  49. 3:20:38 PM <-- Words^3 (uid144981@192.184.8.103) has quit (Quit:)
  50. 3:22:44 PM <Nick|GM> The man's calm demeanor cracks almost immediately after he says \"hello?\"
  51. 3:22:44 PM <Nick|GM> His eyes widen, and he surruptisiously glances at spotlight in a way that might have been stealthy if Spotlight weren't in his Breaker state. He starts fidgeting and looks both upset and nervous.
  52. 3:22:44 PM <Nick|GM> \"Holy shit,\" he says softly, into the phone. ||
  53. 3:24:37 PM <CG|Spotlight> Spotlight makes no sign he knows how nervous the man is and instead pushes his power to listen in to the other side of the conversation.
  54. 3:25:34 PM <CG|Spotlight> Still he's ready to act at a moments notice if need be, always at the ready. (Tactics action, ready)
  55. 3:25:36 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  56. 3:26:24 PM <Nick|GM> ((You don't have tactics))
  57. 3:26:43 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((You can't use it at all without the skill?))
  58. 3:26:45 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((Okay))
  59. 3:27:35 PM <Nick|GM> ((Pick for Wits))
  60. 3:28:02 PM <CG|Spotlight> Wits - (6-1=5)
  61. 3:30:13 PM <Nick|GM> He can't quite catch the entire other side of the conversation, but he can make out a few words. \"....... Cruise ........... over ... Shocking ... left ............................... dead.\"
  62. 3:31:23 PM <Nick|GM> The other man closes the phone suddenly. He tries to regain his composure, and forces a smile at Spotlight.
  63. 3:31:23 PM <Nick|GM> \"W-well, there's no reason for me to be spying on you anymore, then. Mind if I leave?\" ||
  64. 3:33:49 PM <CG|Spotlight> Spotlight turns towards the man and shakes his head, before dropping his Breaker state. The lights recede back into his jaw and into the skull tube mask over the bottom of his face. His tired green brown eyes glance over the man and his hair is messy. He wants to know what's going on, and he's going to find out.
  65. 3:34:18 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"You can go as soon as you tell me what's going on.\" Curry demands. Speaking feels weird.
  66. 3:34:19 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  67. 3:35:44 PM <Nick|GM> \"Well, my employers were just, uh, forcibly disbanded? by the Protectorate,\" he says uncertainly. ||
  68. 3:37:16 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Who were your employees and what did the Protectorate do?\" He asks, curiosity recognizable in his voice.
  69. 3:37:37 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Why did they have you following me?\"
  70. 3:37:40 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  71. 3:39:12 PM <Nick|GM> \"The Normal. They paid me to follow you after you killed Alchemeister, and the Protectorate just killed two of our - their - members. Another of them betrayed them in the middle of the fight.\" ||
  72. 3:42:11 PM <CG|Spotlight> Oh.
  73. 3:44:09 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Oh.\" He says out loud, mutely.
  74. 3:45:44 PM <CG|Spotlight> Then another thought occurs to him. \"Well why should I let you go if you were working against me? I mean nothing personal and all that, but I think you get where I'm coming from.\" He gets out of his slouched position and hoists his sword.
  75. 3:47:08 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"When my head breaks into light I'm going to teach you a lesson. If you want to stop thay from happening, tell me something you think I'd like to hear.\"
  76. 3:47:21 PM <CG|Spotlight> He gives the man a moment to man a speak.
  77. 3:47:29 PM <CG|Spotlight> A moment to speak*
  78. 3:47:31 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  79. 3:50:41 PM <Nick|GM> \"I could work for you,\" he says quickly. \"I know where the Normal stashed all their drugs, and if Telescope hasn't already moved everything, they should still be there. I'm more useful alive than dead. I have connections, I have weapons, and I need someone else to work for now.\"
  80. 3:50:41 PM <Nick|GM> He isn't in an outright panic, but he's not calm by any means.
  81. 3:50:41 PM <Nick|GM> \"You don't want to get the reputation that you kill everyone. Especially when I've done nothing against you but report your location.\" ||
  82. 3:53:35 PM <CG|Spotlight> His head doesn't break into light, and he drops his sword into its holder.
  83. 3:55:00 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Deal. Take the rest of their stuff and sell it to the Tinkers to use as material. I'll let you keep a portion of the earnings and if you prove to me that you're trustworthy I'll pay you more. Does that sound okay to you?\" He asks, raising his eyebrows.
  84. 3:55:44 PM <CG|Spotlight> He's been looking for helpers and information is important for him to find. This guy can help him, and if he fucks him over. Well. He's been itching for a fight honestly.
  85. 3:55:47 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  86. 3:56:05 PM <Nick|GM> \"I don't really have a choice, but I can deal with that.\" ||
  87. 3:57:56 PM <CG|Spotlight> Curry smirks, and nods. \"No you really don't. But there are worse people that could have caught you in this alley way.\"
  88. 3:58:26 PM <CG|Spotlight> He holds his hand out to shake the guy's hand. \"Let's say we meet here tomorrow. Don't let me down.\"
  89. 3:58:29 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  90. 3:59:32 PM <Nick|GM> \"S-sure.\" Nervousness doesn't suit him. He shakes Spotlight's hand.
  91. 3:59:32 PM <Nick|GM> He turns to leave. ||
  92. 4:01:33 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Nervousness doesn't suit you.\" Spotlight says to his back before turning to go attend to his meeting. He lets his head break back into light.
  93. 4:01:36 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  94. 4:01:46 PM <CG|Spotlight> $roll 8d6! Dicepool
  95. 4:01:46 PM <[ATM]> CG|Spotlight \"Dicepool\" [5] [1] [6] [5] [6] [6] [4] [3] = 5, 1, 6, 5, 6, 6, 4, 3
  96. 4:07:10 PM <Nick|GM> He resumes his way to the building he'd arranged to meet Imperative at. He's still 30 minutes early, so she might not be there yet.
  97. 4:07:10 PM <Nick|GM> He enters the building through the front door to find a completely bare interior. Imperative doesn't seem to have arrived yet. ||
  98. 4:09:35 PM <CG|Spotlight> He takes the time to get his version of sleep in. He feels as if he can rest a bit easier for a moment and assumes a cross legged meditative position on the floor in their meeting place.
  99. 4:10:12 PM <CG|Spotlight> He sits there quietly and waits, allowing the information around him to flow into his head. He rests in it.
  100. 4:10:14 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  101. 4:13:59 PM <Nick|GM> It's peaceful for about 10 minutes before the door opens and Imperative walks in.
  102. 4:13:59 PM <Nick|GM> \"Hey,\" she says. Her body language is guarded, with her arms crossed over her chest. Her costume fits her loosely, with bright red bordered with brown and white forming an interlocking chain pattern on her chest that extends across her arms and legs. ||
  103. 4:15:12 PM <CG|Spotlight> He drops the state and rises to his feet, feeling rested.
  104. 4:16:47 PM <CG|Spotlight> It shows in his voice when he speaks. \"Hey. Thanks for coming.\" He reaches out his hand to shake hers. Form a Rapport.
  105. 4:17:12 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((Didn't mean to capitalize))
  106. 4:17:14 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  107. 4:18:55 PM <Nick|GM> She reaches out for his hand slowly, keeping her eyes on his face. When she grabs it, she shakes it quickly before letting go.
  108. 4:18:55 PM <Nick|GM> \"Sure. Least I could do, really. You're the only other one in this city trying to stop them.\" ||
  109. 4:21:30 PM <CG|Spotlight> ...
  110. 4:22:31 PM <CG|Spotlight> He looks her in the eye and nods. \"Yeah well I'm trying to do something. This place is a shit hole for the people living here. But a big reason I called you over is because I want to find out what you're about. Why do you do what you do?\"
  111. 4:22:33 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  112. 4:23:53 PM <Nick|GM> \"Why do I... what? Kill villains?\" ||
  113. 4:27:52 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Work for good when it's such a hard thing to do in this city?\"
  114. 4:27:54 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  115. 4:29:01 PM <Nick|GM> \"It's not like there's another option. I'm not going to work for evil. And I'm not going to sit around and let evil do whatever it wants,\" she says. ||
  116. 4:30:03 PM <CG|Spotlight> He nods again and then gives her a serious look.
  117. 4:31:33 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"I'm holding my territory, and you're killing villains and those are good things. But let's do better. There are a few others. A new one named Moira Kane, and maybe the commune. We can team up and do something real. Take the power plant back.\"
  118. 4:31:38 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  119. 4:32:57 PM <Nick|GM> \"Are you serious?\" she asks, scathingly. \"Oh, we could probably do it. Take the power plant. But there's no way we could keep it.\" ||
  120. 4:34:30 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Why the hell not? We can maybe even get the Protectorate in on it with us.\" Having that spot allows us more power. She needs to see that. \"If we can show the common people it's possible for things to be better they'll rise up with us.\"
  121. 4:34:57 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Just work with me on something small, what'll it hurt? Maybe you'll run across a villain that needs to be put down.\"
  122. 4:34:59 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  123. 4:35:37 PM <Nick|GM> \"The common people don't care, the PRT doesn't care, and someone else will take the power plant back.\" ||
  124. 4:37:30 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"We could give them a reason to care. What are we doing if we don't do something big? Taking them out one by one is impossible. More just come and take their place.
  125. 4:37:30 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"
  126. 4:38:33 PM <CG|Spotlight> He shakes his head and turns. \"I don't know. I just know I can't keep living like this watching people hurt.\"
  127. 4:38:34 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  128. 4:41:43 PM <Nick|GM> \"At least taking them out one by one leaves us alive to keep doing it. Your plan probably doesn't.\"
  129. 4:42:09 PM <Nick|GM> She's incensed now. ||
  130. 4:44:07 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Well I guess there's not really much else to say then besides thanks for hearing me out, and good luck. Come find me if you ever need anything from one hero to another.\"
  131. 4:44:09 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  132. 4:45:12 PM <Nick|GM> \"Yeah,\" she says, and leaves in a huff. ||
  133. 4:45:43 PM <CG|Spotlight> Well that didn't go over well...
  134. 4:46:16 PM <CG|Spotlight> He shakes his head, and then lets it break back into light. He hadn't spent much time speaking with her which means he might have time to do something else.
  135. 4:48:19 PM <CG|Spotlight> Now that the Normals are scattered now might be a good time to expand his reach. His busy schedule is already good enough for the small bit of territory he has. He could do more.
  136. 4:48:28 PM <CG|Spotlight> He decides to head there and start making his mark.
  137. 4:48:31 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  138. 4:50:45 PM <Nick|GM> ((Do you know where your territory is in relation to the Normal's? There's a lot of contested space in between.))
  139. 4:52:01 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((I've looked at the map, let's change that and say that I'm aggressively patrolling and pushing he boundaries into contested territory.))
  140. 4:52:06 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((Is that okay?))
  141. 4:52:17 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((The*))
  142. 4:52:53 PM <Nick|GM> ((Yeah, sure))
  143. 4:53:39 PM <Nick|GM> ((Do you want to pause here and then when Thal's free, resume several hours later, skipping over the patrolling etc.?)))

  156. 6:30:29 PM <Nick|GM> After a few hours of patrolling, it's time for Curry to meet the other independent hero, Moira Kane.
  157. 6:31:09 PM <Nick|GM> They've agreed to meet outside his territory, downtown, in neutral ground.
  158. 6:32:25 PM <Nick|GM> After finding the agreed-upon spot and each other, they sit down at a table in a broken-down cafeteria of a small office building.
  159. 6:33:05 PM <Nick|GM> ||
  160. 6:33:05 PM <Nick|GM> ((ColdGold starts, take turns until I interupt. I'm going to dinner, so work out rolls between yourselves or wait until I get back.))
  161. 6:33:22 PM <Nick|GM> ((Feel free to make up setting details or w/e))
  162. 6:33:29 PM <CG|Spotlight> ...
  163. 6:37:24 PM <CG|Spotlight> Curry introduces himself to Moira much the same way he'd introduced himself earlier. With a handshake and a warm greeting. He takes her in with his normal eyes so he can speak.
  164. 6:38:13 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"The Normal is gone, and you're one of the only people in this city fighting for good. What's your next move?\"
  165. 6:38:15 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  166. 6:38:34 PM <Thalia|Moira> ...
  167. 6:40:25 PM <Thalia|Moira> Moira ponders for a moment. \"When did that happen and how many are left?\" She looks over at Curry with her brown eyes, not in her normal firefighting costume. She was actually wearing normal clothes. \"What I was going to do, start hitting shipments. I might see if Sordid Affair is still around. When I fought her, her heart wasn't exactly in it.\"||
  168. 6:45:13 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"It happened earlier today apparently. Only two of them are left.\" He says
  169. 6:48:14 PM <CG|Spotlight> He thinks for a moment as well. He hadn't been received well earlier in the day, and he wants at least a few allies in his in suicide mission.
  170. 6:49:02 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"I've been patrolling successfully and holding territory, but I want to do more than that. Do you ever feel that way?\"
  171. 6:49:03 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  172. 6:49:55 PM <Thalia|Moira> ...
  173. 6:52:07 PM <Thalia|Moira> Moira nods. \"Though, territory hasn't been my goal. Bleeding out the gangs and villains has been. I also learned not to charge into someone's HQ, even if I did get valuable data...\"||
  174. 6:54:52 PM <CG|Spotlight> ...
  175. 6:55:46 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Not to be cocky, but I have the data with my power to infiltrate those bases with no issues. I saw you leaving the normal's base not too long ago in fact.\" He says smirking underneath his tube mask.
  176. 6:56:36 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"I've been thinking the same as you. I'm tired of playing the waiting game. I want to make a big move and I'm grabbing help. I want to take the power plant and shut off power for anyone who wants to start problems.
  177. 6:56:38 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"
  178. 6:56:40 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  179. 6:58:52 PM <Thalia|Moira> \"And winter gives that a little more teeth. Not like I get cold.\" It's a good plan, if they can pull it off. \"Now, here is the million dollar question: how do you hold the power plant?\"||
  180. 7:01:26 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"We just have to hold the entrances for long enough. Hold the fortress like they used to hold castles in sieges. They can't survive out there without power when it's like this. I could maybe convince some of my people to hold the fort with us but it still depends on who we can get to help.\" He says shrugging.
  181. 7:01:28 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  182. 7:01:49 PM <-> Foss is now known as FossDriving
  183. 7:07:24 PM <Thalia|Moira> \"Oh, this is where I was going to suggest we wait for a while.\" Moira gives a large grin and leans forward to look him dead in the eyes. \"I have a certain hobby to keep me busy between hitting shipments, bases, random jerks. I build traps. Like full blown Home Alone.\" She pauses for a dramatic effect. \"People are better when armed, so here is my suggestion. I built some spike strips. We can stop a shipment, take any weapons to give your
  184. 7:07:24 PM <Thalia|Moira> people. Burn what isn't useful. Preferably enough to make it look like we burned it all. Get some bear traps and such to hold a few entrances to really bottleneck things down.\"||
  185. 7:10:33 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"I'm listening, although I've been starting to feel a bit impatient about things. How long of a wait are we talking?\" He asks her, nodding in appreciation at her plan for the time being.
  186. 7:10:34 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  187. 7:10:48 PM <Nick|GM> ((back))
  188. 7:11:31 PM <Nick|GM> ((keep doing what you're doing, but I'm here))
  189. 7:13:17 PM <Thalia|Moira> Moira waves her hand. \"Depends on if I can show people how to do it. If we can get your people to do it, we can likely speed things up while we gather some weapons. I want to hit up Sordid Affair, if she still lives. But you don't storm a castle without arms.\"||
  190. 7:17:36 PM <CG|Spotlight> Curry crosses his arms.
  191. 7:19:32 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Are you sure she's okay? One of her teammates came into my territory and attacked my people just to pick a fight with me.\"
  192. 7:19:34 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  193. 7:21:59 PM <Thalia|Moira> \"I'm pretty good at reading people, and she didn't seem like her heart was in what she was doing. She was new, if I remember correctly.\" Moira leans back. \"Doesn't hurt to try, if she's not up for it, we can just kill her.\" The girl says calmly. ||
  194. 7:28:20 PM <CG|Spotlight> Curry feels like he should be horrified at how casually she talks of murder, but he finds himself nodding along as if that makes perfect sense.
  195. 7:29:15 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"Consider us on the same page then.\" He says.
  196. 7:29:17 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  197. 7:32:43 PM <Thalia|Moira> \"Seems like it.\" She says with a big grin. \"Though, if Pueblo gets fixed up... I wonder where I'll move to.\" Moira says idly. It'd be a nice win. \"So, I'll see if Sordid Affair is still alive and see if she wants to join up. You want to hit up some shipments together?\"||
  198. 7:34:52 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"You like living in fucked up places?\" He asks, cracking a crooked smile.
  199. 7:35:55 PM <CG|Spotlight> He shakes his head, and then continues. \"I'm about it. I've been wanting to see some action honestly. When are we up?\"
  200. 7:35:56 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  201. 7:39:39 PM <Thalia|Moira> \"I don't deserve to live in normal places. Madison could be a nice change of pace... maybe head to Flint.\" Moira thinks about when shipments come in. \"I had the route down, but we'd probably have to stakeout for a night to hit a trick. Current plan is to have one of my homemade spike strips on the road, take out the tires, take out the driver, then deal with whatever else.\"||
  202. 7:42:03 PM <CG|Spotlight> ...
  203. 7:43:45 PM <CG|Spotlight> He's curious about what she means by that but doesn't pry. He had some shady things in his past too.
  204. 7:44:14 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"I'm up all nights most nights anyway, won't be too different. Consider me in whenever that happens.\"
  205. 7:44:15 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  206. 7:46:33 PM <Thalia|Moira> Moira claps her hands together excitedly. \"Great! Got an easy way to contact you? I'm not sure if I should hit up Sordid before or after... if she's still alive. Any idea which two survived?\"||
  207. 7:47:26 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((Did he say which two Nick?))
  208. 7:47:39 PM <Nick|GM> ((No, but he mentioned Telescope being alive))
  209. 7:47:57 PM <Nick|GM> ((So Telescope and one other, who he said betrayed them))
  210. 7:48:19 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"He said Telescope was alive, and that one other betrayed them but it's hard to know which that could have been.\" He says.
  211. 7:49:00 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"But I like I said, I'm pretty much always up patrolling. Just enter my territory and I'll hear about it and find you.\"
  212. 7:49:02 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  213. 7:55:25 PM <Thalia|Moira> \"Sure thing, but that does sound like Sordid might have survived. Like I said... she was uncertain about stuff.\" She waves her hand vaguely. Moira should see if Sordid Affair still lived before hitting the shipments.||
  214. 8:07:31 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"I guess we'll see then. You'll let me know how that goes then?\"
  215. 8:07:33 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  216. 8:09:34 PM <Thalia|Moira> \"Yeah, I hope she isn't too hard to hunt down... if she's alive.\" She stops for a second. \"I think that's all, then?\"||
  217. 8:10:41 PM <CG|Spotlight> \"For now. I have a new connection I can maybe ask about it. If you don't find anything and I hear something I'll let you know.\" He stands and extends his hand again.
  218. 8:10:42 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  219. 8:11:04 PM <Thalia|Moira> Moira stands back up and shakes his hand. \"Pleasure meeting you.\"||
  220. 8:13:33 PM <CG|Spotlight> He maintains eye contact as he shakes her hand. \"Same to you Moira Kane. Let's try not to die horrible deaths making this place better.\"
  221. 8:13:35 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  222. 8:14:43 PM <Thalia|Moira> \"I'll do my best.\" She says with a smile. She'd need to get him and the people that will help on the assault some deputy badges. Now, she had to hunt down Sordid...||
  223. 8:17:21 PM <CG|Spotlight> He doesn't say so but it's nice to have had a positive conversation with another human being for once. It's been a while. As addicting as the Breaker state is, he misses talking to people, and now he has someone to help him prove to his people that it is possible to have better lives.
  224. 8:18:23 PM <CG|Spotlight> Things are looking up, and that's all compounded by the fact that he's been doing pretty great keeping his territory safe. Nobodies made him look bad yet. He's going to continue to win. He has to, and now he has Kane's help. \"Sounds good.\"
  225. 8:18:24 PM <CG|Spotlight> ||
  226. 8:19:59 PM <Thalia|Moira> Moira smiled as she left the building. She was going to hunt Sordid Affair down, probably some clues if she went by the Normal HQ...||
  227. 8:20:35 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((Have anything else for me Nick?)$
  228. 8:20:38 PM <CG|Spotlight> ))*
  229. 8:20:45 PM <Nick|GM> ((Nope!))
  230. 8:21:26 PM <CG|Spotlight> ((Wanna end there?))
  231. 8:22:00 PM <Nick|GM> ((If you want to make a wrap-up post, go for it, otherwise, yeah, end here))
  232. 8:23:53 PM <CG|Spotlight> He activates his Breaker state and exits the building right back into his territory and right back into the routine. Patrol, socialize, repeat. Hope for a fight. He dreams of a day when the villains of the city need to bow to him. He can only dream.
