* Johnny_Paradigm arives twenty minutes latter and bangs on the door.
"That's pretty dumb, you didn't ask who it was, it could have been the Army"
---or will
¤giggle¤
* [^^Silver^^] points to the monitor in the den and you see the front door
<[^^Silver^^]> "Come in Johnny!"

"Got anything "alternative" to water?"
* [^^Silver^^] motions over his shoulder to the bar
"Want anything?"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Sure do, fully stocked bar"
"Wow, you have no idea how to be a host, how unsurprising that is"
* Shimmers goes and gets the water
"I'll invite you over some time."
<[^^Silver^^]> "I'm not a servant. You have 2 legs just like me"
"Actully I was waiting for you too tell me what yopu wan't me to get, but..."

<[^^Silver^^]> "Okay any ideas where we can meet these guys, I prefer someplace public"
"THe mall.
<[^^Silver^^]> "No thanks, I'm good"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Mall sounds good"
* Johnny_Paradigm gets up and gets himself a drink.
I'm AFK...not like you need me.

"Well since we got a couple of hours I'm going home and I'll meet you guys there, ok"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Allright see you there"
* [^^Silver^^] gets up and escorts them to the door
Doing anything special for 2 hours? Or should I warp you to the mall?
---you can warp us, she just goes home gets her gun and stuff and tells Quentin where she's going again
Ok, WARP! It is now two hours later and you walk into the mall and sit in the food court.
<[^^Silver^^]> ---all I was going to do was call Kitten and tell her what was going on and to watch her own back
* Shimmers goes astral
You see the familiar uniform on 3 men. Urban Camos, black berets, combat boots. Someone is obviously tied in a chair.
---ok, you called her, she thanked you, and proceeded to lock her doors and windows.
<[^^Silver^^]> ---heehee
* [^^Silver^^] tries to get a better look at the person tied
*** Max_Black has joined #Shadowmask
The chair is too tall, but you see some feet dangling down, and ropes around the black leather chair.
---hello Max
hiya Max.
hello
* [^^Silver^^] wonders what a black leather chair is doing in a Food Court
* Max_Black is just quietly observing
---you play?
offline yes
---ok, well you can observe, but if you need something use --- before your remarks ok
---ok
* [^^Silver^^] walks up to them
* Shimmers comes back to her bod and heads toward them cautiously
"Ah, good morning Mister Silver. My name is Colonel Pickett. Please sit down."
* [^^Silver^^] shakes his head 1"No thanks I rather stand"
"Lady Shimmers, good to see you as well."
"Very well" He takes a seat and so does the Corperal and Private First Class next to him.
* Shimmers nods politely to him
"You wanted to see us, why?"
<[^^Silver^^]> "What is this all about?"
"You were hired by this man last week to infiltrate one of our recruiting and training centers."
He tosses out a picture of a small asain man.
* [^^Silver^^] looks at the pic
<[^^Silver^^]> "Never met him before in my life"
"His name is Akitora Kim. He works for LS Security, I know you have heard of them before."
* Shimmers takes the picture when Silver is done and looks at it carefully
"I'm sorry, he doesn't look familiar to me"
*** Max_Black has left #Shadowmask
* [^^Silver^^] tenses at the mention of Lone Star
<[^^Silver^^]> "So?"
"Yes, he probably used a middle man to contract you."
"who hasn't?"
"So, my dear Comrade, we want to hire you to kill him. Since you scambled our computer mainframe, we have resorted to contracting runners to do the job."
<[^^Silver^^]> "What is the pay?"
"Corperal Jenson, please turn our guest around for the young man."
The corperal spins the chair, inside you see Crisper tied up.
"Now, you shouldnt let her go wandering around. We will see fit to release her, upon completion of your task. Otherwise, well, we have ways of making little girls squeel." a VERY sick grin crosses his face.
<[^^Silver^^]> "What the hell? I really suggest you let her go"
"Now Mister Silver, we can't do that now can we?"
* [^^Silver^^] glares at the corporeral
"We would be more the happy to supply you with the equipment you may desire to complete the job, however."
The corperal is as bland as you can get. (aka, I dont have a descrip ready for him)
"And I have ways of making grown men squeel and it's not nice"
<[^^Silver^^]> ---How far away is she from me?
"Yes we know all about your party tricks."
She is about 4 feet from you, across the table.
* [^^Silver^^] looks at Shimmers
The PFC draws a knife and places it on her throat. She is of course gagged, but she seems to take it all in stride, obviously resorting to training.
<[^^Silver^^]> ---Where is the rest of the crowd?
Out milling, no one is paying attention...and it isnt too obvious what they are doing.
<[^^Silver^^]> ---Just wondering cause so far we have a big black leather chair, 3 men in cammo, and one holding a knife to a girls throat
<[^^Silver^^]> ---Not to mention the girl being tied down and gagged in the middle of a food court
<[^^Silver^^]> ---But I am not nitpicking
---I know you arnt. "So do we have a deal?"
<[^^Silver^^]> "First you are going to take the knife from her throat, then we will consider it"
He waves his hand at the PFC, and the knife disapears into a belt sheath.
* Shimmers casts barrier on Crisper Force 4
4d6
--- Shimmers 4d6 ( 4 5 9 2 )
* [^^Silver^^] draws his guns and fires at the PFC
roll it...remember that a weapon will draw attention.
<[^^Silver^^]> ---no more than the chair and a knife
<[^^Silver^^]> --roll what firearms?
Uh, a gunshot will draw attention, a knife and a chair may draw attention....yea, firearms.
<[^^Silver^^]> ---silenced, 2 shots 2cp each
<[^^Silver^^]> 11d6
<[^^Silver^^]> 11d6
--- [^^Silver^^] 11d6 ( 2 1 5 4 2 4 1 9 2 5 2 )
--- [^^Silver^^] 11d6 ( 1 1 4 5 5 4 1 4 2 4 5 )
5d6
--- GM_Nikki 5d6 ( 4 9 3 4 7 )
5d6
--- GM_Nikki 5d6 ( 3 5 4 3 1 )
The shots are absorbed in his vest.
The Colonel just laughs, as his two aides draw their weapons. "Now now now, temper temper Mister Silvers. It is not wise to get us mad."
Silver, you have two very mean looking Beretta's aimed at your head.
*** Balishak has joined #shadowmask
--aha!
---Hey Bali, want to be warped in?
<[^^Silver^^]> ---Hey Bal
--ummmm, why not?
*** Balishak is now known as Darius_the_Grey
---hello Bal
---ok, ask Shim or Silv to update you real fast.
---well, I had to beg my wife to let me spend the money, so, it's a big thing for me :)
* [^^Silver^^] looks around and shrugs
---okay I am updated
---Good.
<[^^Silver^^]> "Can't blame me for trying"
Darius appears in a chair at the table.
* Darius_the_Grey is walking by
--ok NM
I love being the GM. j/k
"whoa whoa, how did I get here??!!?!"
<[^^Silver^^]> ---It would've been better the other way
<[^^Silver^^]> ---
---yea yea yea, I know...wah.
* [^^Silver^^] holsters his weapon
<[^^Silver^^]> ---LOL
"okay, could someone explain to me why my ward is tied in a chair?"
"Ok, gentlemen, and Lady. Do we have a deal?"
"They think they can blackmail us into killing someone for them"
*** GM_Nikki is now known as Colonel_Pickett
"Do we have a choice?"
"geez, you know, you coulda asked"
"Don't suppose you would let us take her with us?"
"Now Dar, that would make them human, or semi-human"
"I did"
"You asked for payment, I showed you the payment."
"this is true, and no you didn't asked, you rudely kidnapped my ward, and tied her to a chair"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Tell you what we will think about it, how much time do we have?"
"Hmm, well I'll give you a week. By then we can do it ourselves.
"Don't forget they held a knife to her throat to help convince us"
"which by the way is a very rude way to do business you know, I mean, if you a good reason for me to kill the guy, I probably woulda done it for free"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Why don't you give us your addy and we'll come by when we're done"
"Sure, just call my Sergeant when you are finished."
"oh and, one thing, one mark on her, just one little mark, and I will hunt you all down and perform the most evil methods of extracting life upon you. got it?"
* Colonel_Pickett chuckles under his breath
"Yea, ok. I got it Mister Darius."
"Don't waste your time Dar, they aren't even real men if they were they wouldn't resort to hurting children to get there way"
"you don't beleive me? try it"
"Children? Son, this here woman should be killed outright, after all the loving attention we showed her she goes off and deserts us? Nay, she is lucky to be alive at all."
"woman? please tell me how she is a woman, she's barley 14"
"Woman, she's a teen at most, and you have a very demented idea of what love is"
"old enough to bear children and kill others, she is a woman."
* Colonel_Pickett looks at her a bit closer...
<[^^Silver^^]> "You sir, have just made my list. Watch your back my demented fried"
"And from the looks of it, she will probably develop to be a rather cute little woman. Maybe we should keep her anyway. Bah, a deal is a deal. You complete the job, she is released from contract."
* [^^Silver^^] turns to go 1"I'm outta here"
"that is the deal? I will do it"
"Silver wait"
* Darius_the_Grey catches up to him
"Ok, I'm in"
* Shimmers turns to Crisper
"It'll be ok Crisper, we're coming back for you, just be strong"
* Shimmers catches up to the others
"listen, if it's money you need I can spring you each 50k, no sense in doing a job for free, especially when she means nothing, to you anyways, I would have no hard feelings about giving you money"
Crisper has a brief glimps of hope cross through her eyes.
<[^^Silver^^]> "What?"
"Nay, we have plenty of money. We decided it would be better for you to do our wetwork after all the trouble you have given us over the past few weeks."
<[^^Silver^^]> "Oh don't worry my friend this is on the house. I'm partly responsible for her"
"cool man, thanks"
"You're wrong Dar, she does mean something to me, like family, like you" *smiles at him*
"this is true, but I am the one who 'kidnapped' her, I gotta take responsiblity you know"
"so, let's plan"
"So my gentlemen and lady. We have a deal?"
<[^^Silver^^]> "No problem"
"I already said we had a deal psycho, let us now do our jobs"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Sure give us the guys info"
"Or should I plan new ways of torturing our little guest?" a wicked smile flashes across his face at the thought.
"we already answered that, clean the shit out of your ears"
"Mister Akitora Kim, Lone Star Security Sector overseer, rank Lieutenant. He lives at 1601 N. Elm Street in Redmond."
---Give the GM a break.
"hmmm, killing a Star, you guys have all the great ideas, too bad you don't have the balls..."
"Well we would have just done it ourselves, but your comrades there (he does speak with a heavy russian accent) screwed with our computer files last week."
<[^^Silver^^]> "lets get out of here. She better be okay when she is released"
<[^^Silver^^]> ---I just realized I had on a mask during that job
"My word as an Officer, no harm will come to her before 1500 hours 7 days from today."
<[^^Silver^^]> "Your word as an Officer? Please!!!!"
* [^^Silver^^] turns to go shaking his head and laughing
"Yes my good sir. My word as an officer. I am, after all, a sworn officer of the Army."
"sure my man, we'll do it, now we will take our leave"
* Darius_the_Grey gets up
* Shimmers looks at Crisper and smiles reassuringly
"Very well. Stay in touch." he gets up and the two enlisted men pick up the chair and carry her out. BTW did Silver give Darius the real name of Crisp?
"We'll be back"
---no I didn't get it
* Shimmers turns to leave
<[^^Silver^^]> ---Actually Endradi has to find it
---that's cool, I'll get it later
* Darius_the_Grey leaves
"let's meet at the house"
* [^^Silver^^] waits outside for them to catch up
<[^^Silver^^]> "Got it"
* Darius_the_Grey drives back home
"Ok, no problem, I'll be right behind you"
Sorry, that 4 hour timer got me.
Darius_the_Grey> ---hey gimme a sec, I gotta restart my machine
*** Darius_the_Grey has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
* [^^Silver^^] drives to Darius' house
I miss anything?
<[^^Silver^^]> ---heehee I don't think so, we are going to Dar's hous to plan
oky doke. We'll wait for him to relog.
*** Darius_the_Grey has joined #shadowmask
<[^^Silver^^]> ---Okay
---back and stuff
<[^^Silver^^]> ---WB we are all at your place
---you get that name Dar?
---yeah
<[^^Silver^^]> "Guys I don't know about you but I want that Col. DEAD!!!!!!"
"I agree, but not now, we gotta Crisper back first"
<[^^Silver^^]> "How about we get her back ourselves?"
"naw, it would probably be easier to kill the Star instead"
"We're not doing anything that will put her in danger, and that's my final say to that"
"I want this guy too, but we do it his way til we get her, then it's open for discussion"
<[^^Silver^^]> "Okay, but since we were hired through Kitten, maybe we can get him to work with us and fake his death"
"whichever, let's just work on this Lone Star guy"
"So, how we gonna do this?
"She's not Lone Star, she's a fixer, you think he'll listen to her?"
"okay okay, I thought we were supposed to kill the Lone Star guy"
<[^^Silver^^]> "I don't know I can always check, but I want us to be in agreement on how we do this. I have no problem killing the guy myself"
"We are suppose to kill him, and I think that's what we should concentrate on"
