9:03 PM - Odin: > As the last Arachne cultist suffers a terminal case of lead poisoning from the sudden appearence of the Shadowrunning group inside of the small warehouse, the holographic trid projector is still there, beaming the very displeased face of a indeterminately middle-aged woman familiar to most members of the team. You don't even know her name, but some way, some form, she represents the Black Lodge, the Illuminati behind the
<Odin> Illuminati.
"Well, that was rather a waste of magical talent. Still, they were rather small time movers. But where do YOU all enter the picture from, hmmmmm?"'
Meanwhile, on the roof, the ever-vigilant JD has sniped the Spider-Beast spirit that was preparing to inject Allie with deadly magical venom, moments before the mage controlling the spirit got sniped himself
JD: Ever vigilant, ever amused.
<Nemi> "Fuckin' waste."
<Odin> The holographic woman turns from Cazador, Fomor, and Weaver, not recognizing the disguised members of the party, and having no reason to recognize the new Spider magician.
<Cazador> "I'm here because your bullshit is fucking with my vacation. Fuck with my deal again and it'll be you I'm after next."
* Chloe_Ceto sighs
<Nemi> JD. Calm, controlled, professional, and currently swiveling between keeping her lasermic on the 'chat' and looking around for any more stray cultists that might be coming in to crash the party
9:05 PM - CelestialDoggie entered chat.
9:06 PM - Odin: The woman gives an exaggerated sigh, and says "You and me both. But whatever the bosses want, that's where you go, am I right?"
9:08 PM - SpaceViking: "While it suits my interests, yeah."
9:08 PM - TheSmilingCat: "You might be, but I'd still like the name of the individual who set up those wards that hurt my precious girls." Weaver had just finished thanking and dismissing the hopolite spirit before turning with his question to the woman.
9:08 PM - CelestialDoggie: Allie's on the roof still, cleaning the yuck off from a splattered spider spirit that used to be on her. The fur on her ears and tail has yet to calm down from standing on end, giving her a somewhat...exaggerated appearance.
9:09 PM - Odin: "Probably one of those chumps bleeding out. All that potential, but so little talent.... pathetic."
9:10 PM - Odin: Allie: Up top, the wind has picked up a certain chill to it, rushing over the rooftops like Hermes delivering a message.
9:10 PM - Nemi: Because of c ourse it does. Allie gets a message via comm from Cass. < You okay over there? You look like a cartoon. >
9:11 PM - SpaceViking: "Yo if all you're gonna do is bitch about the hired help I got places to be."
9:11 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Well thanks, I wonder what YOU'D look like after eight flippin' eyes crawl up your awm]
9:11 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Arm. I mean arm. I'm so wigged out I can't even think words!]
9:11 PM - Nemi: < Probably exactly the same as I always do. You're welcome, btw. >
9:11 PM - Nemi: She actually says 'bee tee dub.'
9:11 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Siiiiigh. Thanks, Carrie~]
9:12 PM - Odin: "Oh, I still want to know exactly why such higly skiled individuals as yourselves knocked over my little pawns. I wasn't aware of your presence on the gameboard until now."
9:12 PM - Nemi: < No probs. Also, you getting this? > She'll try and route her lasermic feed from the chat inside to Allie.
9:13 PM - TheSmilingCat: "Well if introductions are in order, how about introducing yourself first?"
9:13 PM - SpaceViking: "If this is how you're gonna talk I'm shooting the fucking transmitter. Talk like an actual person."
9:14 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Getting what? I didn't even get a chance to open the sky--IT'S HER!]
9:14 PM - CelestialDoggie: Any progress made on soothing her fur down is lost.
9:14 PM - Nemi: < Who's 'her'? > That's Cass' question.
9:14 PM - Ikiry0: Chloe rolls her eyes. "Well, I suppose we can say this is checkmate then." [Why is she talking in chess metaphors?]
9:14 PM - CelestialDoggie: [She's the Black Lodge lady!]
9:15 PM - SpaceViking: [I'm not joking, if she keeps talking about fuckin checkers or whatever I'm shooting the transmitter.]
9:15 PM - Nemi: < The- /ficken!/ >
9:16 PM - Odin: "Alright, let me dumb it down for the muscle." Her voice takes on an entirely different cadence. "You're a number of badasses I wasn't aware were in town, nor knew you were going to move on these guys. Not that they were important, but I did have plans for them, which means I'm taking even MORE time off my vacation to deal with that."
9:17 PM - SpaceViking: "If you're asking why we fucked with your plans, I don't know. This fuckin weirdo." She jerks a thumb at Weaver "convinced certain members of my team to intervene on his weird personal bullshit. I don't actually give a fuck who he is or what he does or what his goddamn favorite meal is, but I am gonna follow my team."
9:18 PM - CelestialDoggie: She does finally get the skylight loose, and completes her part of the mission by clambering through it and into the top of the warehouse. [She was making the guy at that fetish club breed shadow spirit things with this really awful thingy that I stole from the guy and ran away but then he was like possessed with a shadow spirit or whatever so he came after me through the glass ceiling that I *totally* shattered and Fomor kicked the everloving shit out of him 'cause she does that and then he died so we ran out of there with the thingy.]
9:19 PM - Nemi: Cass sounds incredulous. < That- Okay I was not aware of any of that but that's /fucked up/. >
9:19 PM - CelestialDoggie: [It really was! And the worst part is, one of the fetish serving girls there was A DOG.]
9:19 PM - TheSmilingCat: "Appologies." Weaver nodded to the one calling him a 'fucking weirdo. "But that is the truth. Although I suspect a /larger/ influence at hand, we're here because your friends decided that I was in need of a spell to the back and being left in a burning building."
9:19 PM - Odin: "Ahhhhh. Well then." She turns towards Weaver. "Now judging from that spirit you're a mage, and if you're not part of this crew.... are you another of those ridiculous Spider Society? Oh please tell me your codename. Is it another Spider pun?"
9:20 PM - Ikiry0: [To - Cazz: I would love if you had some way to make her stop rantiing]
9:20 PM - TheSmilingCat: "How about yours first, Miss...? Or is it Mister?"
9:21 PM - SpaceViking: [To: Fomor- Yo this is why I don't truck with bruja bullshit. All this shit is goddamn weird, like those fucking nerds who put on cloaks and run around the park throwing beanbags at each other.]
9:23 PM - SpaceViking: [To: Chloe- Yo let's let the weirdos rant at each other, I bet there's a good spot to make out behind this warehouse.]
9:23 PM - SpaceViking: [To: Chloe- There's ALWAYS a good spot to make out behind a warehouse.]
9:24 PM - Odin: Her eyes turn towards the catgirl crawling down from the ceiling. Then she looks at Cazador, and Fomor again. "Wait. There's.... there's no way. You.... how in all the nine hells does a godsdamned team of REALITY SHOW RUNNERS end up ruining my plans AGAIN in the WRONG COUNTRY!?"
9:24 PM - Ikiry0: [To: Cazz - It sounds less boring than this. I think I could watch any bad movie ever and get her rant]
9:24 PM - Nemi: <To Allie: .. A dog changeling or like, a literal dog? >
9:25 PM - SpaceViking: "Told you, we're on vacation. If you wanna find out why I think the newest episode is airing tonight."
9:25 PM - SpaceViking: "For now though I'm gonna let you and spider-ass here get acquainted, I'm gonna take a walk."
9:25 PM - CelestialDoggie: [She was DRESSED UP LIKE ONE. WHO DOES THAT?!]
9:26 PM - Odin: "At least you're smart enough not to air certain parts...." She starts at Cazador's comment, and snaps an order off screen. All of your commlinks (With the exception of Weaver's, of course.) Ring with an incoming message from The Producer.
9:26 PM - Ikiry0: Fomor rolls her eyes and answers the call.
9:26 PM - SpaceViking: Cazador takes the call, walking outside. She's done with this bruja bullshit.
9:27 PM - Nemi: <@Allie: That's pretty fucked up. > Cass eyes her commlink, and answers.
9:27 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Sec, Carrie, the boss-guy's calling.]
9:28 PM - Odin: [Heeeeey, how're you enjoying the birthplace of democracy? Marketing says the stars are right, the security teams are in, and we got more freelancers than I know what to do with. Greetings from The Bunker, you want to watch it live?]
9:28 PM - Ikiry0: Fomor heads out with Caz.
9:29 PM - Nemi: <@Producer: I'd love to. ANd it's been chill. Really good gyros. > Ha ha, chill, because she dragged three people out of a burning building and shot several more.
9:30 PM - SpaceViking: [Sure, bring it up.] She looks for a good spot to watch with her gf, outside of the prying eyes of the rest of the team.
9:30 PM - SpaceViking: Especially JD, ideally.
9:30 PM - Nemi: Who knows where JD even is? She picked a good perch. As she always does.
9:32 PM - Odin: "Good gods..... so then Spider Mage, let me guess. This little conflict drew your attention, and you hired a little outside help in the area? Well I'm sorry to dissapoint you, but your little relic is far beyond your reach. "Enjoy the beaches, I hear the non paranimal infested ones are rather amazing." Somehow, there's a subtle threat in that last sentence.
9:33 PM - SpaceViking: Caz finds a good spot in an alley to sit down, definitely out of earshot of the crazy mage(s), and makes room for Fomor next to her.
9:33 PM - TheSmilingCat: "Hire is a very strong word. Tell me, Miss Bitch -- What exactly do you want with the relic?"
9:36 PM - Odin: "You know the power of magic. It's a powerful artifact. And power is in itself, it's own reward." But you needen't worry about that any more, it's in a.... very safe place, away from these amatuers."
9:37 PM - Ikiry0: Chloe sits down with her and grins. "A lot better than listening to her rant~"
9:37 PM - Nemi: Caroline Naumann is a very serious woman, and she's listening to the Spooky Projector Lady's ranting very closely.
9:38 PM - SpaceViking: "I know right?" She puts an arm around the elf's waist. "Wonder how they chopped up and changed shti from there for the episode?"
9:39 PM - TheSmilingCat: "That's... pretty lame, you know?" Weaver gesturd to the trid stars. "Shouldn't you be monologing about your great plan right about now?"
9:39 PM - Ikiry0: "Well, going by how it's previously gone...if they find a chance to focus on Allie or my boobs that's what they'll do." She rolls her eyes as she leans into the ork.
9:40 PM - SpaceViking: She laughs. "Don't worry babe, you only have to worry about me focusing on one of those things."
9:41 PM - Odin: She turns her head over her shoulder, a few minutes after the intro to your show ended on your own commlinks. "Well. That wedding was rather something of a clusterfuck." She addresses Weaver. "Why would I want to tell you my plan? So this crew can cock it up once again? I'll tell you this though, if you come across any of our operations again, my organization will be VERY displeased with you. And you do NOT want to piss me off more than you already have. Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Don't let it happen again."
9:41 PM - Odin: The projector winks off.
9:42 PM - TheSmilingCat: "And who are you exac--" As the projector winked off, Weaver let out a sigh, before turning to Aira. "Are you okay?"
9:43 PM - CelestialDoggie: She waves to Weaver from her spot dangling from the ceiling, then clips her line and drops to the ground, landing easily on her feet. "Hey. Where's everyone else?"
9:44 PM - TheSmilingCat: Weaver waves back. "Got bored and left, I assume."
9:44 PM - Nemi: ".. well, the intro's fun, I guess.."
9:44 PM - Odin: Aira: "I'm fine! I can feel Sonata, but she's all scattered. Whoops...."
9:45 PM - CelestialDoggie: "Oh, kay. I didn't get much done, there was a giant spider spirit up top." She shivers violently. "Carrie shot it off of me before I got bit."
9:45 PM - TheSmilingCat: "Whoops indeed. That was our collective fault, so we'll have to appologize when she comes back. Do let me know next time if there's a ward up. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for them as well."
9:46 PM - Ikiry0: Chloe smirks at Cazz. "Good~"
9:46 PM - Odin: The show goes deep into describing the preparations the crew engaged in, an utterly contrived story involving a jilted lover in the anarchists movement serving as the rationale for screwing it all up, rather than the "We did it for the ratings" approach the team actually took.
9:46 PM - SpaceViking: "Figured they'd change that much. Us fucking shit up for fun probably isn't a great motivation in the biz."
9:46 PM - Nemi: "Oh my God it's so contrived I love it."
9:46 PM - CelestialDoggie: Allie is mildly distracted from her conversation as the show's broadcast begins. "Oh, hey, they actually made something useful up. Good job, Jones!"
9:47 PM - Odin: Aria: "Well yeah! It's not fun getting splattered over half a metaplane! You're lucky we know how to come back!"
9:47 PM - Odin: Allie: A previously tac-cloaked camera drone decloaks in front of you, "bows" as it dips in the air, and then it's shutter closes for a moment in an obvious wink before it vanishes again."
9:48 PM - Nemi: <@All: .. and there's me in the obligatory spooky sewer scene, playing up my badass mystery thing..>
9:48 PM - TheSmilingCat: "Again, appologies. But you two should let me know if we're about to walk straight into something that can do that to you. Either way, take a rest -- Maybe get an autograph from one of these trid stars? Ask nicely." Weaver moves over to the trid projector, taking a look at it.
9:49 PM - Odin: The tense infiltration of Chloe into it is played as a much bigger deal than it was, tense and nail biting music all throughout, before her succesful social exfiltration.
9:50 PM - Ikiry0: "Well, maybe if you were in charge of the run. I think they'd accept it then."
9:51 PM - SpaceViking: "Probably."
9:51 PM - CelestialDoggie: "I hope it shows me in the fancy dress and stuff!"
9:51 PM - SpaceViking: "Oh this part is cool, good job tricking those fuckin azzies."
9:53 PM - Odin: The team is shown shopping. The subplot involving Crash and the Dress isn't really played up, but it's not as subtle as he would like either.
9:53 PM - SpaceViking: "Man I still can't believe you talked him into that shit."
9:53 PM - Nemi: <@All: Fomor, you looked kickass in that segment and.. Oooooh my goooooooddd. They made me look SO AWKWARD. Like I'm some kind of sci-fi robot trying to pretend to be a normal girl. >
9:54 PM - CelestialDoggie: "Huh, guess next time Crash can say no to Chloe 'cause 'ratings' weren't all that."
9:54 PM - Odin: Finally after all the prep work, the run itself is shown as happening. Getting in, taking places, your subtle mechanications taking form....
9:54 PM - Ikiry0: Chloe smiles. "If you spend all your time teaching your guys to obey the mages without questioning, it's not my fault if they obey the mage without questioning." She laughs out loud at the Crash bit. "Mostly because he's got a spine made of jelly."
9:58 PM - Odin: The loose inhibitions. The subtle slights designed to draw rage to the surface. Crash's hacking exposing all their secrets.
9:58 PM - CelestialDoggie: [To: All - Are we good at what we do, or what?]
9:59 PM - SpaceViking: "Damn this feels good to watch. C'mere baby."
9:59 PM - Nemi: <@All: That's seriously spine-tinglingly good work. And the way that Jones shot it and they strung it together.. >
10:00 PM - Nemi: <@All: I'm actually feeling /proud/. >
10:00 PM - Ikiry0: Chloe leans in to kiss Cazz
10:00 PM - Odin: The (I forget the name of the Aztech group they were a part of) operative is played as a much heavier fight than it was, all thunderbolts, lightning, and suspiciously-bloody-looking spirits-but-not-actual-blood-spirits rampaging around in an elevator shaft, although the prepared takedown of her support crew was shown to be the same as in reality
10:01 PM - Nemi: ( Jaguar Warrior )
10:05 PM - Nemi: <@All: I look way better in that dress than I thought I did. >
10:05 PM - CelestialDoggie: [I coulda told you that! You were hot!]
10:05 PM - SpaceViking: "You looked just as hot in that dress as I said you were." She grins.
10:06 PM - Nemi: <@All: Pfft. I feel like they're trying to build an arc where they break down my cold professionalism or something. >
10:15 PM - Ikiry0: ...and THERE is the focus on Crash and his dress. They've moved him freaking out and getting angry at Chloe until the end of the situation rather than part way through.
10:16 PM - Nemi: <@All: Oh, dear lord. >
10:17 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Hoo boy...well, he DID look good...]
10:19 PM - SpaceViking: Caz snorts. "Oh, there that is."
10:19 PM - SpaceViking: "So did Jones just forget to put any drones on Quaddie?"
10:20 PM - Ikiry0: ...they've also done editing to make Chloe's threats of doing it again sound extra prophetic.
10:20 PM - Ikiry0: [Quad is hard to film as her stuff isn't always visible and she doesn't ham like Crash]
10:22 PM - Nemi: [We're basically going to be an all-girl ensemble at this rate.]
10:22 PM - SpaceViking: [Well, unless you forgot I wore a suit to the wedding.]
10:23 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Long as I get to look good, we can be whatever!]
10:24 PM - Nemi: [I'm pretty sure wearing a suit doesn't make you grow a dick or something.]
10:24 PM - SpaceViking: [But wearing a dress makes you lose one?]
10:24 PM - Nemi: [Did you see a bulge in his skirt, Caz? I've got my suspicions.]
10:25 PM - SpaceViking: [Pretty sure he's just got a babydick.]
10:25 PM - SpaceViking: [You wanna find out and report back to the rest of us?]
10:25 PM - Nemi: Laughing is heard, before being abruptly cut off. After a moment, [I think that's Quaddie's job.]
10:26 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Eww please no, I don't want to know!]
10:26 PM - SpaceViking: [Fifty nuyen if you find out and send pics to Allie.]
10:26 PM - CelestialDoggie: [NOOOOOO]
10:27 PM - Nemi: [Seriously though uh I'm gonna think about sometihng else now.]
10:28 PM - Ikiry0: [Yeah...I don't want anything to do with this.]
10:28 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Cazzie I thought we were friends, what'd I ever do to you?!]
10:30 PM - SpaceViking: [Just think it'd be funny.]
10:32 PM - Nemi: [I am so sorry I started this tangent.]
10:35 PM - Odin: Static washes through all your comms as your hacker finishes his dive through the digital realm, and resurfaces from the cybersea with data from the local magical chumps commlinks.
10:36 PM - Odin: Long story short, looks like they passed the relic off to another cell working for the Atlantis Foundation on an archealogical dig out in the paranatural plains.
10:36 PM - SpaceViking: Caz grunts. "Dammit, they interrupted our broadcast for this bruja shit?"
10:36 PM - SpaceViking: "Better not have missed that fuckin brawl at the end."
10:38 PM - Odin: But before any of that, the show finishes in a GLORIOUS orgy of violence as the revelations at the wedding lead both trigger/sword happy sides into slaughtering each other. A full ten minutes of blood, guts, sword swings, and ugly corporate on corporate violence as the van is shown again speeding into the night. The final words on screen? "WEDDING. CRASHED."
10:38 PM - SpaceViking: Caz groans. "I may have to punch Crash for that one."
10:38 PM - Ikiry0: "I'm not sure he made it up...but I'm still punching him too."
10:39 PM - SpaceViking: "That seems like the exact sort of bullshit he'd convince the Producer to do."
10:39 PM - Odin: Crash had absolutely nothing to do with it. That he'll admit to, anyway.
10:39 PM - Ikiry0: "Good point. He's getting the maid dress next time."
10:39 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Oh my God did you guys see that ending? Can I give him a wedgie?]
10:40 PM - SpaceViking: [I think everyone gets a punch on the nerd after that.]
10:42 PM - Nemi: Cass, meanwhile, might be heard with muffled giggling from a nearby rooftop.
10:44 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Alright, so hopefully that does good with the audience. Who wants to go to the beach!]
10:44 PM - TheSmilingCat: "Is there a reason you'll be punching your teammates? Also you've been pretty quiet -- Something interesting happening?"
10:45 PM - SpaceViking: [I got some stuff to take care of first, but the beach sounds fun.]
10:46 PM - CelestialDoggie: "Yeah, the Producer just had us watch our episode live! It's like super-crazy!" She fiddles with her commlink, grabbing the streamed feed and sending it to him. "It's so nuts, like, our studio's prob'ly gonna be under attack and stuff. It's why we're here on vacation!"
10:46 PM - Ikiry0: [Likewise]
10:47 PM - Nemi: [I want to go to the beach /right now/. So I can turn bright red and immolate like a mythical vampire or something.]
10:47 PM - TheSmilingCat: Weaver declined the request for the live feed. "I'll have to pass, I do still have work to do, after all."
10:48 PM - Odin: Ten minutes after the finish, The Producer calls in again, "How'd you like that guys?" Somewhere in the distance behind him, you hear the *whump* of something large and explosive going off.
10:48 PM - SpaceViking: [I hear the Azzies didn't waste any time.]
10:48 PM - CelestialDoggie: "Aww, but it's fun! You totally should. Maybe, maybe maybe your girls'd like it!"
10:49 PM - CelestialDoggie: [It was good stuff! Can't wait to come back and do more!]
10:49 PM - Odin: "Hell naw they didn't! Judging from the live feed, it is a PAAAAARTY up there! Yeah!" Judging from his eyes, he's had a little nova already.
10:49 PM - Nemi: [That was amazing. How's it going on over on your side?]
10:50 PM - TheSmilingCat: "The girls do like it. It's a reason I'm not accepting it -- They'll be distracted."
10:50 PM - SpaceViking: "Alright, ready to sneak off babe?"
10:51 PM - SpaceViking: "If I remember right, we need to buy clothes and get tatted."
10:51 PM - Odin: It's too late. Aria has already heard. "Plleeeeaaaaaase Mr. Weaver? Sonata needs time to pull herself together anyway, unless you want to go on a trip to the metaplanes and bring her back early!"
10:54 PM - Ikiry0: "Sure thing~" She grins at Cazz
10:54 PM - TheSmilingCat: There was a defininte consideration about traveling to the metaplanes. "I've already declined it. You'll have to convince them. Speaking of our trid stars..." Weaver moved to turn off his commlink before Arachne decided to ring him up on it and ask for any favors.
10:55 PM - SpaceViking: Caz picks her up, carrying Chloe piggy back. [I'll catch up with yall later.]
10:55 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Kay Cazzie, where ya goin?]
10:56 PM - SpaceViking: [Gonna see what kinds of weird shit euro types have in their porn shops.]
10:57 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Have fun! I'm gonna find a new swimsuit. Same thing as you, little more softcore!]
10:57 PM - Nemi: [I think I need a new swimsuit too.. Old one REALLY doesn't fit.]
10:58 PM - SpaceViking: "I do actually want to see what kinds of weird shit are in euro sex shops, but we can do that later. Where'd you want to go shopping?"
10:59 PM - Ikiry0: "I found a few places that might be fun to get you some outfits." She smiles
10:59 PM - SpaceViking: "Point the way baby girl."
11:00 PM - CelestialDoggie: [Wanna come, Carrie?]
11:01 PM - Nemi: [I'd love to. Lemme get down off this building.]
11:05 PM - TheSmilingCat: "The beach, huh..." Weaver looks at his excited spirit. "You are right about your twin..." Weaver had a grim look on his face, before finally sighing. "I suppose. You'll have to be on your best behavior, though, promise me that."
11:06 PM - Nemi: And soon enough, the nimble German Teutonically traverses the side of the building, to land nimbly on the pavement beside Allie. Mildly ash-caked and scorched, but still in a good mood (wrecking fools does that, it seems, with this Berliner bombshell). "I thiiiink I need a shower."
11:06 PM - Odin: "Yes! Absolutely! I'll only be half the trouble!"
