02[23:15] * Quadcore ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
06[23:16] * Cazador takes her beer and drinks it.
[23:18] <Odin> "O-o-oh g-gawd!" Silence. "I, I'm sorry baby, this never happened to me before! Wait, imma make it up to yo-" the door opens, narrowly hitting Chloe. The half dressed angel looks at you through messed up makeup. "Go ahead if you want, he's a two pump chump."
[23:19] <Odin> Stonejaw: On your external perimeter check, you notice that the bouncer is writing down the van's license plate number. On an e-tablet, not his comm.
06[23:19] * Chloe_Ceto rolls her eyes "Of course he is." She heads inside, a polite smile on her face.
[23:19] <Stonejaw> [Hello there.]
[23:20] <Stonejaw> [Someone's writing down our plates/]
[23:20] <Stonejaw> [Want me to send him to bed?]
[23:22] <Crash> [Nothing to worry about.]
[23:22] <Odin> He's lying naked in what you're pretty sure is the bastard offspring of a sex swing and a bean bag chair. There's just enough light to see that his eyes are WIDELY dilated. "Heyyyyy Angel, you came back."
[23:23] <Stonejaw> [It's not on a Comm it's an E tablet.]
[23:23] <Stonejaw> [Can you shut off the cameras while I put him to bed, I want to see if I can find out what he's doing]
[23:23] <Crash> [Doesn't matter. You really think she'd be using her real plates?]
06[23:23] * Cazador drinks her beer. "This ain't my usual scene, chica. People really dig the decorations? Cause back home most people would take it as a reminder we're probably goin to hell."
[23:24] <Chloe_Ceto> "Hey. We are going to talk about something, alright?" She avoids a sick look on her face.
[23:25] <Odin> Bartender: "I just think it'd be nicer if they played something on a harp once inawhile, instead of this industrial eurotrash or whatever the fuck it is, you know?"
[23:26] <Stonejaw> [Yeah but I want to see who he's sending them TO/]
[23:26] <Odin> Chloe: "Ohhh yeah baby, we can talk about annnnything you WANT. I feel you, I feel you goooood. What you in the mood for, some eX, some nova, I even got a little cram I save for those special occasions...."
[23:26] <Crash> [Standard security thing, most likely. Not worth messing with him. It'd get us more heat, not less.]
01[23:27] <Cazador> "I guess the draw of heaven ain't that strong huh."
[23:29] <Stonejaw> [Say no to drugs, kids.]
[23:30] <Chloe_Ceto> "Let's talk about Ellos'va Summer."
[23:30] <Odin> Bartender: *Shrug* Isn't the search for anything a morality lesson on how we should enjoy the journey more than the destination?"
[23:30] <Odin> Chloe: He grinds his teeth. "Don't think I've heard of that one, is that one of those crazy magic drugs?"
[23:31] <Odin> "Because I can talk to my guy, and he can talk to his guy, and get you setttttttttt."
[23:31] <Chloe_Ceto> "No, she was a girl who was killed. Elf."
01[23:32] <Cazador> "I drink so I don't have to think about morality lessons."
[23:33] <Odin> Chloe: "Oh shittttt that's a harsh buzz. I can take the pain away for you though girl" he reaches out, in what you feel is meant to be a seductive manuever.
[23:33] <Odin> Cazador: "You're my kind of customer." He pours one for you, then one for himself.
06[23:34] * Chloe_Ceto steps back. "We can talk about doing things AFTERWARDS, alright?~" She smiles.
06[23:34] * Cazador drinks to that.
[23:36] <Odin> "Aight, aight, so what were you saying about this girl again?"
[23:37] <Chloe_Ceto> "She was killed, in a car crash.  Deliberately, right?"
[23:38] <Odin> "Girrrrlllll, I dunno what you're talking about, but you need to chill, aight?"
[23:38] <Odin> Caz: "So what's your story?"
06[23:39] * Chloe_Ceto pulls up a picture of her. "Do you recognise this girl?"
[23:39] <Odin> Stonejaw: The bouncer has finished (It took him awhile. He didn't pay much attention in school because he couldn't fit in the desks, alright? He's had a hard life, don't be mean.) just in time for another couple of people to form in line, who he takes great pleasure in playing mean ole troll to.
[23:40] <Odin> "Mnnnope." Crash, you're aware that someone is trying to activate security for that room. (I'm also assuming you put it on "mute")
01[23:41] <Cazador> "Oh, you know. Born in the slums, gunfight for a living, run with gangs. Normal shit."
[23:41] <Crash> [He's trying to rat you out, Chloe. He might be more alert than he seems.] Crash is squatting on that room in particular, the digital guardian to make sure they get their private time.
[23:45] <Odin> There's a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. Which means the drugs haven't burned his brain away, after all, you'd hope he'd remember his brother in law's fiance-to-be.
06[23:46] * Stonejaw makes some quiet hand-gestures over a steaming manhole cover.. The mist begins to twist and coalesce, a stray chip-bag folds itself inside out into a strange sort of urban totemic mask. An insubstantial, tentacled thing  bobs lazily in the air.
[23:46] <Chloe_Ceto> "Stop lying. We know you've met...and we know the assassin got hired by your company immediately after all the charges against him were dropped." She stops playing nice.
[23:46] <Stonejaw> "Be invisible and steal the notepad. Remain unseen."
[23:46] <Stonejaw> He commands the spirit in whispers/.
[23:48] <Odin> Chloe: "I think you better go girl...." His eyes dart towards a pile of pillows to his left, measuring the distance between you and them....
06[23:49] * Chloe_Ceto smiles. It's not a friendly smile. "Or what? This room is controlled by people I own and I'm sure my spells are faster than your quickdraw. We are going to talk about this...because it can either go very badly for you, or not so badly."
[23:50] <Odin> It's not the finest spirit you've ever created... but this isn't the finest bouncer ever to grace the doorsteps of establishments. The tablet is nimbly lifted from his pocket when he turns to admire some CHOICE CLUBBER ASS, and the spirit drops it into your hands with a flourish.
[23:52] <Crash> The lights in the room brighten, and the air con goes up a notch... He's got his ass in a fire.
[23:52] <Stonejaw> "Good. I hold your duties fulfilled." He says. waving it away as he heads inside the van to read the tablet.
[23:53] <Odin> He's blinded by the light... revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night......
[23:55] <Odin> Except this man is no runner who has loyalty, at least in coin. This man sold out his own family (To please another part, but still.) He's a worm. A lowly, contemtable worm hanging in a perch. You could reach out and just... pluck him, but that's not what you're here for. "Fuck you! You know all this shit, why you coming in here after me huh? You gonna plug me, just do it already!"
[23:56] <Chloe_Ceto> "Oh? Plug you? No, we don't want that. You are a small fish...we want the big fish. You give us her...and you get to swim away~"
[23:59] <Odin> "It was my bastard brother in law, alright? His mother could never get along with her, and she promised to set me up for life if I just.... took care of that, and a few things for her, ok? It's her you want, I'm just the middle guy!"
Session Time: Tue Oct 13 00:00:00 2015
[00:00] <Chloe_Ceto> "Any evidence, little fishy?~"
[00:01] <Odin> "The old bitch is a bitch, yeah... but she's careful about hiding her tracks. Even the money was clean, she swore it herself."
[00:02] <Chloe_Ceto> "So you've got nothing to help us get the big fish. Oh dear...if you want to swim away, you'll need to do better than that...~"
[00:04] <Odin> His eyes look towards the pillow nest again but his shoulders slump. "Look at me, you really think I'm the kinda guy to have what you need?"
[00:04] <Odin> Looks like he's coming off the high, his motions just... look depressed.
[00:05] <Chloe_Ceto> "You seem like the sort of worm to always want an out~ But if you have nothing...not even an idea..." She shakes her head.
[00:06] <Odin> Stonejaw: The tablet contains the plates of every car in the parking lot (And some numbers that aren;t, you can presume they left already.) Certain plates, including hte one the van is currently possessing, have an X next to them.
[00:06] <Stonejaw> [oh Hello...]
[00:07] <Odin> Chloe: "Yeah and I got out, alright? L-look, I'll give you the account numbers, you can pour through them yourself, alright!?"
[00:07] <Stonejaw> [A list of liscence plate numbers, a few have Xs, I think he was looking out for something.]
[00:08] <Chloe_Ceto> "Done. Then you swim away little fish."
[00:09] <Odin> He pushes an AR list to you, after a few minutes of comm-fiddling.
[00:09] <Odin> (This is AFTER he asks you if he can get out of the chair without getting shot or blasted or whatever the fuck you mages do)
06[00:10] * Chloe_Ceto takes it and sends it onto Crash [Look through this. Account details sent to our nasty little worm. See if you can find anything useful to us.] She smiles in a nasty way to him. "Thank you. Now...I wouldn't go telling stories to anyone about this if I were you. We wouldn't want to put a little fish back on the menu after all..."
06[00:10] * Chloe_Ceto walks out.
06[00:11] * Cazador is still drinking beer. "Yo, we finished up here?"
[00:15] <Chloe_Ceto> "You can keep drinking if you want...but the little fish gave us a lead on the big one."
01[00:15] <Cazador> "Aight. The decor is getting to me anyway, I got this urge to start sayin hail marys. Cash me out."
06[00:16] * Chloe_Ceto turns up her nose at the mention of Hail Marys and heads for the exit...
[00:16] <Crash> Before he goes... Crash just can't help himself. He sears his calling card into the club before jacking out. Crash and Burn... The two names he'll make famous again.
06[00:17] * Cazador pays out with a tip, takes her beer, and follows Chloe out
[00:17] <Odin> BACK IN THE VAN: Jones climbs in after the rest of you climb back in.
06[00:18] * Stonejaw hops in. "I got a list of liscence plates if we need them."
[00:18] <Stonejaw> "Anything else?"
[00:19] <Chloe_Ceto> "With luck, we should have enough evidence to catch his Mother out of it." She nods
[00:20] <Stonejaw> "Wiz."
01[00:20] <Cazador> "Aight, let's put an end to this."
06[00:20] * Cazador drinks her Modelo.
[00:26] <Odin> Perusing through the digital depths, and taking advantage of a few public stock listings, and nuyen cryptographic keys, you determine with a 95% confidence interval that the fat stack of nuyen in his account came from a period of short selling stock in Mother Bird's home company, which was used to set up Brother in law Worm with his shell subsidiary/stack of cash.
06[00:28] * Crash dances through the data, a dervish of devilish details and dashing directions, eyes piercing the depths of the Matrix, plucking up just the pearl they need... More narration over visualised hacking scenes. Just in case they're needed.
[00:36] <Odin> THE SHINING CORPORATE TOWER THAT IS THE ANATHEMA OF ALL THINGS ANARCHIST, LIBERAL, AND/OR MARXIST-SOCIALIST.
[00:37] <Odin> The receptionist critically looks at you through her shades. "This is VERY unusual, but I've been told to send you up immediately. I'll direct the elevator, please step inside."
06[00:37] * Chloe_Ceto has arrived with red hair this time in a professional looking suit and her usual glasses. "Of course, thank you." She heads towards the elevator...
06[00:38] * Allie has tagged along, and while her clothing is much less tailored than Chloe's, it's still sharp and respectable. Her ears and tail are on display, all their usual blonde.
[00:40] <Odin> There's a bit of an awkwards moment as you step through the threshold and an alarm blares, but the receptionist silences the MAD scanner alarm. Up and away you go, your ears popping with the sudden altitude change. You step out into another world..... "Austre luxuery" if there is such a thing. The office is decidedly spartan... but what there is, is of the highest craftsmanship and expense.
[00:42] <Odin> The target. Alexander Cambell. Has just invited you into his domain, without even bothering to search you for weapons. Clearly, the information you carry is of the highest importance to him.
[00:42] <Odin> "I'm a busy man." he gruffs. "You insinuiated you knew something about my wife. Speak, runners."
[00:43] <Allie> The catgirl defers to Chloe, though her tail sways slowly behind her, almost giving away her smug satisfaction.
[00:43] <Chloe_Ceto> "Insinuated is a bit of a weak term. We have been part of an investigation that has evidence of all the players involved in her murder." She smiles politely.
[00:46] <Odin> He stands up, slowly, and looks out towards the setting sun from his floor-to-ceiling windows. "I see. And of course, this... investigation wasn't borne out of altruism, was it?"
[00:48] <Chloe_Ceto> "Not completely no. However, we believed that a situation where everyone walks out happy was better than one where we did something unpleasent like kidnap your daughter."
[00:50] <Odin> He whips around to stare in your eyes, and then makes a visible effort to cool off. "I see your investigation was extremely through then. What do you want out of this exchange?"
06[00:52] * Chloe_Ceto holds up a hand "As I said, we have no interest in doing such a thing...and yes, she was revealed in the investigation. Our employer wishes for some stocks to be sold." She sends the info over about the stocks
[00:54] <Odin> "And in return you share the information on who had my wife killed. Excuse me for a moment."
06[00:54] * Chloe_Ceto nods "Very well. I assure you, this information is worth it. It is not just who did it...but enough evidence to have them convicted."
[00:55] <Odin> He touches his earlobe. "Yes. Sell profile B. Yes, I know. No. I was simply made a better offer. Excellent. Thank you Conrad."
[00:57] <Odin> "That was my accountant. Preliminary offers have already been made. I'll finalize the transaction in person the moment I leave. But." His hands grip the back of his ergonomic deskchair so hard the kuckles turn white. "I. Need. To. KNOW."
06[00:58] * Chloe_Ceto nods...and sends over half the information. Enough to show who did it but not enough to convict, yet. "This should tell you what you are working with. There is much more evidence than this...and we will send it when the transaction is confirmed.
[01:02] <Odin> The sudden outburst of violence would make a cybered up troll stand back. Some priceless knickknack operating as a paperweight is chucked into the reinforced wifi-negating wallpaper hard enough to leave a dent. "God DAMNIT! I had a team walk all up and down that BITCH and they assured me it was an accident! Did she pay them off too!?" A colorful stream of invective falls from his lips. "Well GUESS WHAT MOTHER, I really am a son of a
[01:02] <Odin> bitch now, aren't I? Goddamn black widow, my father wasn't a problem BUT THIS WAS OVER THE LINE."
[01:03] <Allie> [...Hey, Chloe. Think we should ask if he wants to hire us?]
[01:03] <Stonejaw> [Yeesh I can hear that shit from down here]
[01:03] <Stonejaw> [This guy needs to lay off the coffee.]
[01:04] <Chloe_Ceto> [...that would be very crass]
06[01:05] * Chloe_Ceto nods "I am truly sorry this happened. We can send you the rest of the evidence to give Knight Errant or Lone Star enough to work with."
[01:06] <Odin> He doesn't bother with the pretence of "acting" like he's comming someone. "Dirk? Put a contract out. Mother dearest. Tell them I'm thinking.... back of a trunk during low tide. She can think about what she's done until she drowns in the fucking filth like she deserves."
06[01:06] * Chloe_Ceto blinks. "Or that."
[01:07] <Chloe_Ceto> [To: Allie - I vote we keep that part out of the show]
[01:08] <Odin> "And then make sure my brother in law OD's. Sister dearest might not know about it, but she doesn't need to watch his head blow off across the living room. As lovely a sight that would be to see...."
[01:08] <Allie> The blonde gives the most minute shrug.
[01:10] <Odin> He finally realizes you're in the room again. "Ahem. You didn't hear any of that. Was there anything else to discuss?"
[01:11] <Chloe_Ceto> "Nothing of note. None of that will get out." She stands up. "The rest will be sent when we have confirmation of the sell." She smiles warmly "And I'm glad we were able to help. Your daughter is very nice and deserves to feel safe."
[01:16] <Odin> "Hmph. I was wondering who her "new friend" was. For what you've given me today... well... If you ever need a favor.... This was bigger than those stocks. I suspected for years, but hearing it from the slimeballs face..."
[01:16] <Odin> He sighs. "If only I could get personally involved. But we musn't mix business and pleasure."
[01:18] <Chloe_Ceto> "No...and I don't think that would do wonders for your ability to be a father to her. She's too nice a person to lose that." She nods "This was pleasure for us, not just buisness."
[01:20] <Odin> "I see. I must thank you for not taking the... easy route. I don't suppose you'd be willing to leave stolen commlink code with my receptionist, would you?"
[01:20] <Chloe_Ceto> "A burner, yes. For safety reasons, of course."
