Okay. It's Morning. Bout 11AM You either wake up or are already awake. Go to town. already awake I go meet up with Angel near the cafe * AngelT dresses casually, as if for a meeting with a girlfriend, secretes the usual number of lockpicks, etc, and meets Reika at the cafe Already awake, off to get a morning coffee The Cafe' is closed, and the security guards are watching you, you are the only people on the street. * Reika is dressed in a skin tight synth leather body suit with her belt complete with 10 fetishes wrapped around her waist It opens around 4 pm. * Reika hmms any resturants nearby? (any hangouts nearby?) Not really, this area is under heavy development, with a lot of construction underway. * Reika looks thoughtful * GabeWhite throws on the battered duster and places his two guns into his belt, hidden by the coat * AngelT walks up to Reika and greets her as a friend... * AngelT keeps an eye on the streets about her.. * Reika smiles at Angel and returns the greeting * AngelT makes small talk, gesturing and looking around as though asking about the construction. * Reika follows suit while scanning around *whisper* shall we walk around a little? *whisper* All right.. There's one facing the guard. And that's all you can see. * GabeWhite walks out of his hotel room and begins to walk toward a cafe, then stops, realizing its closed It's building skeletons, with advertisements of which shops are going where, and what apartments are what. Nothing obvious, make a preception test. * GabeWhite realizes the street is eerily quiet, and begins picking out security cameras *whisper* Angel do you see any security cameras around? * Reika keeps up the light hearted chatter * AngelT scans the area, site by site, picking out details, as inobtrusively as possible. * AngelT chatters inanely as she scans.. You don't see any obvious external cameras. Do I? *whisper* No cameras, but I wouldn't lay my life on it. *whisper* same here *whipser* no magical security that I can see *whisper* do you see the guy down the street? * AngelT flashes a glance briefly to someone down the road... sees nothing immediatly threatening. *whisper* Yes... * AngelT makes inane chatter while checking out the guy down the street. *whisper* he isn't magically active as far as I can tell * AngelT nods slightly, as if in answer to some innocuous question * GabeWhite notices the two women glancing at him and slips into an alley * Reika makes a girlish giggle as in response to a funny remark * AngelT narrows her eyes a bit as the man disappears.. but again, no obvious threat, so she files it away for future reference. * AngelT smiles and chatters some more, while whispering. "Well. That was. Odd." * Reika nods at angel and whispers very * GabeWhite walks down the alley onto a roughly parallel street and walks closer * AngelT continues to covertly canvas the construction. People are beginning to arrive, mostly construction workers. * Reika hmms * AngelT slips into the role of ditzy blonde, giggling and watching the construction workers while seeing more than she lets on. * GabeWhite is now just about 100 yards away, one street over, making pains not to be seen * Reika smiles at a particularlly good looking worker About 6 mostly in various sites, all the same construction company. *whispers* angel do you have a pocket phone? *whispers* Yes.. They're about 10 m apart. *whispers* if we can find out where the nearby watermains are, I can freeze the one leading to the apartment building *whispers* and we disguise ourselves as repairmen... *whispers* Yes.. Yes, that would work nicely. * GabeWhite listens to their conversation * AngelT flickers her eyes around the area again, covering it by nodding and smiling to the construction workers. * AngelT smiles and nods, smiles and nods.. and watches and listens. *whispers* seen enough? *whispers* I think so... *whispers* same here, let's go someplace else and talk * AngelT slowly and casually circles back around to her car... *whispers* All right. * GabeWhite attempts to follow them, and misjudges a the shadow of a building...Angel gets a glimpse of his face * AngelT pauses, stricken by deja vu... * Reika looks at Angel with concern, then focuses on the man * AngelT shakes her head vaguely and moves on Just a thought... *whisper* Angel you okay? * GabeWhite keeps following, but noticed the woman's reaction...and decides to follow closer *whisper* I thought I saw... *colder, clipped whisper* Nothing. Let's go. * AngelT starts looking edgy, and glances around more.. I'm70 meters away, one block over Yes. * AngelT keeps a very wary and nervous eye on her tail... * AngelT chews on the tip of a lock of hair, a habit learned when she was a child and never really discarded. The shadowy figure sees you peering at him and ducks into a doorway. * AngelT shivers slightly, unconsciously, and angrily takes her hair out of her mouth... Well, the street is getting crowded and noisy. *whispers* I know of this nice tea house not too far away shall we go and talk a bit, before we have to meet with the others? *whispers* All right... Your Pocket Sec beeps. (Angel) * AngelT answers the call of the PocSec *whispers* Charlie's got the stuff. We pick it up after Last Call, don't show till then. *whispers* okay when we enter the tea house Reika goes into a small formal greeting with the proprietor of the tea house. and requests a private booth * AngelT stands by, not exactly knowing the protocol of a tea house.. here's what I had in mind, we find out where the water mains are located nearby the building, we put them out of commision then answer as the repair crew. That sounds like it would work. We *can* repair them, can't we? *dry humor lightly colors her tone* * Reika smiles slightly * Reika to cover their conversation, Reika attempts to teach Angel about being civilised 8*) * GM snickers * AngelT laughs and smiles and acts mildly embarrased as a foreigner might. * AngelT also looks faintly wild about the eyes, a look which slowly fades. * Reika looks concerned Are you okay Angel? *neutral* I'm fine. * AngelT slowly settles back to her normal emotionless self.. * Reika narrows her eyes * AngelT behaves normally again. I'm sorry to intrude in such a way, I know it is not proper, but the team needs you at your best I'm fine. * Reika takes a deep breath I hope so * AngelT shrugs slightly I can work. That man bothered you more than he should have. Are you sure? If he's in the area again... *eyes go slightly flat* Someone I thought I knew... it doesn't matter. Again, I hope so * AngelT shrugs another one-shoulder shrug. Very well then shall we get back to business? All right. Contingency plans? I believe I can cross over the rooftops. I can probably be able to follow The apartment building is the highest in the area. * Reika <> Ye-ah, there's a wall that faces one of the skeletons, but it's on the opposite side from the doc's the skeleton goes ~ 2/3 of the way up the apt bld It's about 4 pm now. shall we go meet the rest of the team at the bar? * AngelT looks around a bit, but more idly than anything else, out of deadened curiosity. All right. I also just remembered a couple of spells I learned a few days ago, we don't need to destroy and water mains Oh? I can render us virtually invisable to the naked eye and make us virtually silent as well how ever we could be picked up by a thermal scan Can you do something to avoid the thermal? perhaps, but that would require another spell and I'm not sure if I'm up to holding 3 spells at once * AngelT nods and if I could it would take too much out of me All right.. we'll just have to be that much more careful. * Reika nods solemnly Hmm now that think about it, it may hide us from the thermal scans as well Is it the kind that bends light, or that plays with people's minds? bends light Hmm. I'm really not that positive, I only learned it a few days ago Let's not take that chance then. though if we all wear sound muffling clothing I may not have to maintain the silence spell, so I could hold the spell that alters room temp That might work... * Reika nods * AngelT looks thoughtful * GM spins the clock a little faster... << we're going to the bar to meet with the others>> You walk into the Bar... *BANG* Ouch. Hey, what do you want me to do? I was stuck watching Rocky and Bulwikle all weekend. * Steel pulls up a good few minutes before the others * Steel waits by the door on the inside at a table for the rest Konichiwa Steel, Tak "Hello Reika" * Reika bows slightly * AngelT nods and makes her greetings.. * Steel nods to Angel to acknoledge her presence as well * Tak enters behind Reika, "Sorry, I didn't feel like spending extended periods in the bar." "So, anyplace we can talk again?" I think here would be okay * AngelT nods.. Charlie rolls his eyes and pulls out another White Noise Generator for you. "Thanks Charlie" * AngelT smiles slightly.. and chews idly on a lock of hair. That isn't good for you you know Angel * AngelT realizes what she's doing and takes the lock out of her mouth, pretending she hadn't done it. * Reika rolls her eyes wordlessly * Steel smiles as Charlie brings the Generator over okay we checked the place out, there isn't any magical security there what so ever * AngelT looks very briefly (about a couple seconds) unnerved, but it passes. * Reika narrows her eyes at Angel, but doesn't say anything There's a lot of construction going on in the area.. we have a certain amount of laxity in noise during construction hours. * Reika nods I have the invisibility spell that bends light, but I'm not sure how it hold against thermo scans * Reika looks thoughtful at a small notebook that she pulls out of her bag And if I understand correctly from the one who taught me it, that I can only sustain the invisibility spell So, who is going to go in, and who is making sure we have a way out? Reika, you may not have noticed, but thermal doesn't read light. Anyone who is decently good at plainclothes stealth. Since... someone seems to not be here... I counted 5 people last time * Reika nods * AngelT nods as well The demolitions expert, umm what was her name... Lyta? Umm, it was that demolitions person... Lyta was her name I think? <> Hai it was Charlie, he mentioned it when you picked up the generator. then it would seem that she is unable to join us, shall we plan without her? I guess we'll have to We don't have much of a choice I am fairly trained in the art of stealth and I have a...natural ability with it as well I do my best to stay out of trouble. I believe we all do * AngelT looks at Tak as if to say. "We all do... are you dense?" I am.. well. I am what I am. * Steel looks at Tak "As if we don't?" * Tak sighs. * Reika smiles slightly One would think this team needs to have everything stated plainly to them with a brick attached. * Reika shakes her head slightly One would think that this team was made up of posers and riddle-makers. *mimics mildly* The best way to stay out of trouble is be unobtrusive. Which requires the subtle act of stealth. Very well then, how do we wish to...obtain the good doctor? Or to simply not get into trouble in the first place.. *shrugs* I favor the workperson idea... * Reika nods thoughtfully We may carry one body out under the cover of tools... However if we go in unseen it wouldn't matter Can you sustain a spell that long, and through whatever resistance we may encounter ... obtaining... the doctor? I would drop it when it comes to any difficulty We would have to.. well, run fairly fast then, if discovered.. * Reika nods And there might be a greater chance of discovery. the risk is great either way Hmm, one question... how are we going to get myself in there? I don't exactly think that they would send someone like myself, were I a repairer, without something being dangerous, and I would probably be getting us attention, and that's something we don't want Perhaps.. *one-shoulder shrug* * Reika nods I do not believe any of us would make that convincing of workers * GM points at steel Not many of us, at any rate. * Reika nods Big hulking worker. Whats unexpected in your appearance Steel? Well, depending on what type of workers. Umm, on second thought, I don't know where that line of thought came in how ever how are we going to convince the security to let us in if we pose as workers? the main is outside of the building not in Well you can always take out the security when they come to investigate. that's sloppy Aye. * AngelT nods distastefully. Too much work, and more investigation will follow, I don't like that plan at all I wonder if anyone new was hired at the building recently or any promotions. * Reika suddenly looks thoughtful do we have to go in by the front door? * AngelT looks distasteful again I think it may be scaling the wall after all. not that What, then? It's a complex not one building... * AngelT looks thoughtful as well.. Hmm... well, that's a better thought How good is this invisibilty magic of yours? * Reika hmmms It can pass machines Since if we can somehow hitch a ride in through the front gate, we can easily pose as a paint crew inside. Who here knows the most about the doctor's line of work? At least, enough to pass? not I * Reika points accusingly at Stell Perhaps we can pretend to ... *shakes her head* No. The doctor works alone. Hmm, probably a little late at getting a 'soft, unless you think you can get one at this point the walking piece of metal should know about metal The only metal I can work with is fast metal, sorry * Reika nods And not very well at that we better make it a small group if I have to cast the invisibility spell a _very_ small group Perhaps simply you and I again? perhaps.. I hope that between the 2 of us we can take out the bodyguard though I would prefer if we went after the good docter outside of the building How fine is your control on those ice spells of yours? depends on what's needed A severe case of frostbite? Oh, did we get a car for the doc to ride in? not quite that fine I can 'jack one, if necessary. Freeze his feet to the floor? if there's water nearby yes we're probably better off just knocking him unconscious with the gamma Hmm... we gotta make it so that the bodyguard can't do anything though, he would have communications, of course Depends on how many guards there are. We don't have *that* many doses. if we do it outside... Just remember, only 1 dose per person. One for the bodyguard, one for the doctor. since he arrives home around midnight one o'clock, there won't be many people around Was there anything mentioned about how many guards are with the Doctor during travel? If not, then at least the vehicle? at that time of night anyone who is out (except for lone star) usually minds their own business If we can get into the complex somehow.. call girls *looks faintly amused at Reika and down at herself*, party-goers... we can probably use the invisibility spell then with a bit greater ease. * Reika looks faintly amused as well After which .. well, if party-goers, a bit of artful mussing creates two more drunks, and we all stagger out or carry them out to the car. * Reika nods in agreement O.K., are we doing this _inside_ or _outside_? inside it looks like You have been entertaining two types, when we really need to decide on a plan and stick with it, without switching constantly Well then, I don't think we'd want the cameras catching us Just her and me * AngelT nods O.K., you two are going inside, taking out the guard, getting the Doctor, coming out, and we're driving off... is that correct? all of us are going in, you and Tak will be invis O.K. then, correction I don't think either Angel or myself can handle the bodyguard I was wondering about that In case there's trouble.. at which point we drop the illusions and run like hell? pretty much That seems about right though I do like the tunnels we could go in through them without being seen I thin
