[Jayde Moon]

Find and retrieve the Taoist Temple artifacts.  A bonus is offered for those who are willing to teach the culprit a 'lesson'

Pay is 10,000¥ each.  2,000¥ is offered up front, leaving 8,000¥ upon completion.

Please use the IC post for narratives only.

All dice rolls, questions, character intents, and just discussion should take place here.

For Dice Rolling, please create an account on Orokos.  The format to roll dice for Hits on 6s is #d6t5 < for x 6 sided dice with a target of 5.  If you pre-edge, then to get the 'exploding 6s' the format is #d6h5.  When you roll those dice, the result will have it's own specific url.  Please note your dice rolls here thus:

Automatics ## Dice Pool: x Hits  / x for Smartlink, -x for Darkness <--- where x Hits is the text in the url, written thus: [ url = http://orokos.com/roll/341359 ] 1 Hit [ / url ] (Remove the Spaces for bbcode); and the text behind the slash are any modifiers you included.

In the IC posts, please adopt the use of colors to indicate matrix 'speech', 'thought', 'astral communication', etc.  You can find examples of this in other games, but it looks like this:

What the frag! thought Crystalzine as the bullets whizzed overhead. 

"We got to get out of here," Tomahawk said, pulling back.

Crystalzine nodded and called Grigor.

<<Grigor [Crystalzine] Bring that truck around, there is too much heat, we need an extraction.>>

I use Red for speech, Green for Matrix Texts, discussion, Blue for Thought, Orange for Astral Communications, but no one is tied to those colors or even required to use that formatting at all, it's just a request.

I will try to post EVERYDAY.  That's whether others post or not.  If someone isn't posting and we need them to post, I will post for them to keep the game moving.  This will include making calls on using edge.  If this gets to be a normal thing, I will then assign your character to another player in the group.  If you are out for several weeks without letting us know you are going to be back, I will assume you have quit and may take that opportunity to add some drama to the game in the form of dead or dying team members.

With all  of that, welcome to the OOC!

== Contacts ==
Somesuch; Fixer (c3, l1) Nothing more than a name. Eugene has never met this man in person, and he's certain he'd sell him out in a heartbeat if the price was right.
Madoff; Mechanic (c1, l4) Madoff is a good man. He's really slow in the head, but he's got a gift for machines. Used to be on Eugene's bird back in the bad ole days. That day the bird got bricked and everyone went down, they all walked away from it, but Madoff walked away different. Not only did he lack the reflexes and quick thinking ability to be in the field anymore, but he lacked the willpower; Started to question the very nature of the conflicts they'd spent the last 6 years pulling dying men out of. Madoff was given an honorable discharge and a medal, but Eugene just couldn't stay in the army after everything that happened. After Eugene left the armed forces, the first thing he did was find a decent job for Madoff as a mechanic in a local shop with a good reputation. He's a human who keeps his hair long in a frail attempt to hide the long scar down the side of his head to his shoulder. He's about 25, unawakened, and dumb as a sack of bricks, unless you're talking about machines.

Awesome.  We can start freely posting here, then.

[Mercy Merchant]

Welcome to Early Bird.  We lose Redline already?

[trv123]

Redline, we hardly knew ye. Or in my case, not at all. 

So, when the time comes I'm going to be looking for someone who is built for combat (or at least fairly effective), and has NO additional dice for initiative. Anybody like that here?

[Stoneglobe]

Sorry. I'm fairly effective I guess but do have an additional dice for initiative

[Poindexter]

So, everyone seems to be showing themselves into the meet. Should I do the same?

[trv123]

I'd say yes, just in case Jayde is waiting for everyone to get there before the Johnson begins her spiel.

Obviously up to you but Jayde Moon won't be able to progress the story and start the run until you do arrive.

I have posted and left an opening for Poindexter
