I'm going to presume the Knucks' Prejudice negative quality applies here, which subtracts 2 from his dice pool.

Charisma 2 + Etiquette 1 + Spec 2 - Prejudice 2: 3d6t5 2 hits, pretty good for 3 dice

[badneighbor]

Negotiate w/ Micky: 12d6t5 4

Etiquette: 12d6t5 6

Not too bad...

[rednblack]

I have: CHA (3) + Etiquette (2) + Mentor Spirit (2) = 7 dice.
CHA + Etiquette: 7d6t5 3
Not bad.

Nice, I was just writing up my post, so this helps (was going to break it into two).

Those are GREAT etiquette rolls all around.  BN, you're getting your price on that.  Short result is that you've got a name with a contact that can vouch for you at this point.  Time's run out to have an actual chat before contact...well, you could call him, but you'd be on the phone when the gang gets to you.  Which may or may not be a good thing.

Someone else IC post and give us something to work with.

[badneighbor]

Dropped that ball again, sorry. Things've been nuts over here lately, but I can do better.

Zwei, just tell me if/when you want a Negotiate or Etiquette roll. I thought I'd wait til at least a round of conversation first but I can do it now if you like.

[Zweiblumen]

Thanks for the updates!  We're using your etiquette roll for the start of the convo, I'll want a negotiate roll once things get going, but you'll have pluses or minuses depending on how things go.

As we aren't in initiative I'll move things along.  RnB can chime in as he sees fit, I know he's got a lot on his plate right now.

[Zweiblumen]

Sorry for the short back and forth here.  Dunno how to do social "combat" concisely.  Any pointers are welcome!

@BN, before you post again, gimme a Log + Int roll, and another etiquette.

As the "conversation" continues, the Chameleon's speakers start blasting an ancient song, almost 100 years old now.

AR images of a shorter black man wearing a bright red leather coat and extremely white socks doing some odd dance appear on top of the car.  Someone has an odd sense of history here.

Not sure how appropriate my last IC post is, so I put it in spoiler tags.  This morning I was walking through *exactly* where this encounter is taking place and on my way to work from there the Lyft driver was playing MJ.  This scene came to mind and I couldn't help but share it

For the record, I would often watch the "Beat It" video before the Wednesday night ganger game in order to set the scene and remind myself what I was aiming for. (Not so much the mass choreography of synchronized dancers at the end.) A couple of the sessions featured a diner that I took directly from the opening scene of the video.

To add authenticity, the video features actual gang members (Bloods and Crips from L.A.).

Playing along for the moment, I'll roll Knucks' Music knowledge skill: Intuition 5 + Music 2: 7d6t5 3 hits

He will internally roll his eyes and categorize this as "Stuff Breeders Like". Which means that he likes it too but will die before he admits it.

Forums need "like" and "reaction" buttons.  Not a big fan of the book of faces, but it is a definite improvement on forum software when it comes to group communications!

If you guys like it, I'll un-spoiler it and would love to get Knuck's RP in there.

Personally I'd rather keep it in spoilers. I like things a little grittier than the idea of gangers playing music from 90-100 years ago. For example, I'm not aware of any modern gangs playing swing music / jazz from the 1920s, but I confess that my street exposure is limited these days.

I'm holding up the works again. My kid knocked a tooth loose this weekend and kinda threw me off my game, literally.

Anyway:

LOG + INT: 8d6t5 2

Etiquette: 12d6t5 3

@BN:  Expo knows that for this conversation TwoTooth is best used as reference, not a mediator.  If you'd met with him before hand maybe, but he's really just gonna get your foot in the door here.

Hope the kiddo is okay.  I drove my folks crazy as a kid constantly going to the ER for stupid things.  Family first mate.  We'll always wait, and a little note letting us know that life's got you by the short hairs is always appreciated
