*****Recap of Last Session*****
The runners have finshed the last job and have scattered to their repective corners of the Seattle metroplex to indulge in some much needed rest and relax time.
The next days trideo newscast briefly reports a flair up in gang activity in Redmond. As many as thirty gangers set fire to a condemed building. Lone Star believes it was a turf war between rival gangs over illegial simsense chip production.
Thirty two days have passed since the runners completed the last run when Butterfly's comm. chimes with an incomming call just before 4am. Celeste DeReid has a job set up. She provides an address in the Everett district for the meet. Mr. Johnson will be waiting. "You have until o-six-hundred to assemble a team and high-tail it to the meet, any longer and the job goes to another team per Mr. Johnson's demands", Celeste warns. "The Johnson has also personally requested D.C. and that driver, Vince, to be in attendance. He's quiet adamant about that."
Local time is 4:07 am when Butterfly disconnects the comm. call with Celeste. Nuyen waits for no one, time to suit up and in a hurry.

[9:17:03 PM] * Doc sends back "When and where?"
[9:17:12 PM] Kagi *It's 4am, most runners have their comms bedside but are not wearing them.

[9:20:26 PM] Vince "It better be good work..."
[9:21:12 PM] * Vince gets up and hits the shower, before getting dressed, checking his gear, and leaving a note for Amelia, so shw won't be worried about his absence.
[9:21:22 PM] Kagi *Only Vince wakes to his comm. beeping an incomming text, the others are fast asleep unknown to Butterfly.
[9:21:39 PM] * Manzazzuu sleeps soundly, his 'housemates' silently going about their own business.
[9:22:06 PM] Kagi *At 4:30 only vince has called back.
[9:22:09 PM] * Pele rolls around in his sleep, and sees his message alert button flashing. 10 minutes of groggy sleep later, he replies to Butterfly. "Fine whatever. Just make it later next time."
[9:23:04 PM] * Vince gets in his van, and heads toward the adress Butterfly send him, along the way he stops at a 24 hours Stuffershach, and gets a warm morning soy-burrito
[9:24:40 PM] * Butterfly finishes packing and is ready to go about 4:30. She starts driving toward Manny's place while she calls Doc voice...so it will ring a lot.
[9:25:57 PM] * Doc sends back "Hello what its too early call back."
[9:27:00 PM] * Vince then stops a bit later, near downtown to get a big cup of soycaf, which he then Irsh-up.
[9:27:14 PM] Butterfly "I'm texting you an address and a time. Read them to me."
[9:27:16 PM] * Pele jumps on his bike and sets towards the address at 5:00
[9:30:02 PM] Kagi *Everett is in the north of Seattle, at 5am traffic is starting to get bad as the wage slaves begin the commute downtown. The sky is starting to lighten and makes a pretty picture on the smog and pollution in Seattles sky
[9:30:35 PM] Butterfly After calling Doc, Butterfly calls DC and repeats the proccess.
[9:31:05 PM] * Doc sends "I will need a ride if I am gonna make it in time."
[9:31:16 PM] Butterfly "Where do you live?"
[9:31:44 PM] * Vince flicks on his new second-hand radio, looking for a traffic report
[9:32:05 PM] * Doc "Redmond
[9:32:15 PM] * DC wakes up to the sound of her phone
[9:32:58 PM] * DC "sure I'll try to catch a cab or something"
[9:34:44 PM] * Butterfly repeats the process with manny, since she has such a long drive to get to him.
[9:35:15 PM] * Butterfly will stop and pick up Doc on the way.
[9:36:02 PM] * DC calls a cab company to her house
[9:36:07 PM] * Doc goes out to the closest coffee shop and waits for Butterfly while drinking his sofcaff
[9:37:31 PM] * Vince manages to wdrive himself out of the mornihg rush hour, and into snohomish
[9:37:48 PM] Manzazzuu A girl in a bhirka moves over to where Manny is sleeping and wakes him up when the phone starts ringing. Manny groans, gets up, and answers the phone. "Hello?"
[9:38:11 PM] * Butterfly already picked up Doc at this point.
[9:38:29 PM] Butterfly "We've got a job. I've got Doc with me. You need a ride?"
[9:38:45 PM] * DC phones Butterfly " any chance you can pick me up?"
[9:39:41 PM] Manzazzuu "Wouldn't hurt, and it'd give me time to gather my gear. There'll be another runner with me. That cool?"
[9:40:40 PM] Butterfly "Fine. Make it fast. We're realy short on time. I'll be there soon."
[9:41:07 PM] Butterfly to DC - "where are you?"
[9:41:17 PM] Manzazzuu "I'll skip the makeup then." He says. "See you soon." He hangs up, and starts getting ready.
[9:41:46 PM] DC "Tacoma"
[9:42:57 PM] * DC gives butterfly the location of a coffieshop neer her apartment, then heads there after she is ready
[9:43:26 PM] Kagi *Current time is 5:05 am
[9:43:47 PM] * Vince lights a smoke as he leaves Snohomish and enters Everett
[9:46:40 PM] * Butterfly texts manny the location and time as well as dc's locale. "Change of plans. Get DC and book it."
[9:46:47 PM] * Pele is on the rode, heading towards the meeting
[9:47:55 PM] Manzazzuu He replies: "Alright, see you there."
[9:48:11 PM] * Butterfly calls DC.
[9:48:22 PM] * Butterfly heads for the meet.
[9:48:27 PM] Kagi *Both Vince and Pele make the deadline with much time to spare, taking their time as they go. You both arrive in a very expensive neigborhood in Everett. This is as close to "the country" as seattle gets.
[9:48:28 PM] DC Answers "hello?"
[9:48:56 PM] Butterfly "Hey. Manny's gonna pick you up. on his way."
[9:49:28 PM] * Vince lokos around the neigborhood thinking he at least got the clothes to blend in nicely
[9:49:34 PM] Manzazzuu Manny finishes getting ready, waves his new bodyguard over, and heads out of his rented home over to his garage. Hopping into the car, the two speed off to pick up DC.
[9:49:44 PM] DC "ok... Thanks" me sounds perky all of a sudden
[9:50:20 PM] Kagi * The address leads you to a closed gate. A wall runs the perimeter of the yard. From your guess the yard is huge, but the wall keeps prying eyes out. Current time is 5:20am
[9:50:32 PM] * Pele nods to Vince
[9:51:10 PM] * Vince passes in front of the meeting place Butterfly told him, driving in the speed limit, observing the place and it's surroundings
[9:51:19 PM] * Doc asks Butterfly " Mind if I stash some spare clothes in back here?"
[9:52:06 PM] Butterfly "Sure"
[9:52:31 PM] Doc "thanks"
[9:52:59 PM] Manzazzuu He doesn't take long (though he does his best not to break speed limits), to pull up in front of the coffee shop DC designated in his Mercury Comet - some girl in the passenger seat. He honks the horn, as the girl gets out of the front seat, and moves into the back. She's wearing lots of red leather, and has her face painted white. She leaves the front door open for DC.
[9:53:18 PM] * Doc stuffs a jumpsuit and a few items of clothing in the back end of the van.
[9:53:52 PM] * DC jumps in as soon as she hears the horn and sees Manzazzu.
[9:53:53 PM] * Vince parks his van near the meeting place in such way to have a clear view of the comming traffic and the building.
[9:55:05 PM] * DC greets the new girl
[9:56:47 PM] Manzazzuu He starts driving away. "DC, this is Naroko. She's had her tongue removed, so don't expect her to say much. Naroko, meet DC." He heads for the meet.
[9:59:15 PM] * DC gives Manzazzuu a Quizical Look and pipes up "I've Gone to Medical school if you want me to take a look at it, maybe there is a replacement that could be graphed on""
[9:59:28 PM] Kagi *Butterfly and Doc make the meet followed closely by Manzazzuu, Naroko, and DC. At exactly 6am the front gate opens to allow entrance to the grounds. Two large Orks wave the cars inside
[10:00:06 PM] * Butterfly drives through the gate.
[10:00:25 PM] * Vince starts his van and drives in, behind BF's van
[10:01:58 PM] Kagi *The runners drive through the gate and into the past. Japanese architecture dominates the scene. Tranquil ponds, zen gardens, and bamboo stalks are framed by immaculate gardens mixed with herbs, fruit trees, and blossoms of every hue. It is a small paradise that would soften the heart and thrill the senses of even the most jaded city dweller. It must cost a fortune just to maintain all of it in Seattles notoriously polluted ecosystem.
[10:03:05 PM] Kagi *A long twisting driveway snakes through the garden forcing the runners to drive slowly. It make it impossible to see very far in front of them.
[10:03:16 PM] * Vince is having a bad feeling about this job...
[10:03:37 PM] * DC lets out an "ooo" of astonishment
[10:03:39 PM] Manzazzuu "She likes it that way." He says with a shrug. They pull up, and he stops the car.
[10:04:21 PM] Kagi * The house itself is built in the popular Neo-Japanese style. It is a mixture of archaic Japanese mansion and Buddhist temple architecture, modified slightly to accommodate cutting edge modern conveniences and electronics. The whole Mansion is built using modern construction materials making it many times more durable, secure, and energy efficent then it's ancient counterparts. As you approach you can see that security measures are very subtle, but abundant.
[10:05:14 PM] Kagi *On the front step that lead to the wrap-around porch, a well muscled and attractive japanese man is waiting for the team. His suit fairly drips of nuyen and is cut in the lastest seattle fashions; it is anything but conservative. He presents an infectious smile of gleaming white teeth that is sly and yet warm at the same time. Two vicious looking ork razors flank him, each presents obvious and extensive cyber and bioware enhancments.
[10:05:57 PM] Kagi *The drive way wraps around on itself leaving the runners room to park end to end
[10:07:10 PM] * Vince park his van in a way to make a uick getaway if need be
[10:07:47 PM] * Pele gets off his bike and waits for the rest of the runners to get out
[10:07:52 PM] Manzazzuu Getting out of his car, he walks around to open the doors for DC and Naroko.
[10:08:17 PM] * DC gets out and thanks Manvavvuu
[10:08:38 PM] * Butterfly parks and exits, leaving her gear in the van.
[10:09:33 PM] * Vince kills his engine before reaching under the dash board for a second. He then exits the van, ajusting his suit and hat.
[10:10:57 PM] Manzazzuu Naroko also gets out, and Manny shuts the doors, and locks up his car. For the record Naroko is a short asian woman, her face made up like a kabooki theatre mask. She's wearing a red leather jacket, red leather pants, and red leather gloves. Under the leather jacket is a black armor jacket.
[10:11:26 PM] * DC upon seeing the nicly dressed man looks a bit whiter then usual
[10:11:54 PM] * Doc follows behind the rest
[10:12:17 PM] * Butterfly locks up the van once Doc is out.
[10:12:17 PM] * Vince starts slowly making his way to the front step
[10:12:20 PM] * DC follows behind doc
[10:16:33 PM] Kagi *The asian man "My name is Eddie Yamaguchi. Pleased to meet you all." ::He says in perfect english without a hint of accent. He then bows and smiles again.::
[10:17:03 PM] * DC bows the approprate lenth for a man of his sature
[10:17:20 PM] * Vince nods to the Eddie "Mornin' Ed."
[10:17:30 PM] * DC smiles after the bow
[10:17:46 PM] * Pele bows as best he can
[10:17:48 PM] Manzazzuu "The honour is mine." Replies Manzazzuu, in fair Japanese.
[10:19:52 PM] Kagi *Eddie ::his smile slips a bit at Vince's responce and he raises an eyebrow at Manzazzuu but says nothing::
[10:22:27 PM] Butterfly "Pleased to meet you, too." She says wit ha smile.
[10:22:28 PM] * Vince looks discreetly looks around
[10:24:42 PM] Vince "So, did you bring us here just for a firendly hello or for work?"
[10:24:54 PM] Kagi *Eddie "If you would follow me, please." ::he says as he turns, and removes his shoes. A servent girl dressed in the traditional robes opens the door as he approches and enters, leaving it open for the others::
[10:25:17 PM] * Vince walks in, keeping his shoes
[10:25:17 PM] Kagi *The two guards stay at the door
[10:25:33 PM] * Doc will enter remove his shoes and follow "When in rome..."
[10:25:53 PM] Kagi *The guards immediatly stop Vince and begin shouting in japanese
[10:25:54 PM] * Butterfly removes her shoes as well.
[10:26:10 PM] * Manzazzuu moves to the door, remove his shoes, and help Naroko get her combat boots off, before going inside.
[10:26:13 PM] * DC fallows the man and takes off her shoes when she enters the house wishing she wore her slip ons instead of the hightops
[10:26:20 PM] Vince "We're in the UCAS, speak english"
[10:26:28 PM] * Pele takes his shoes off, and waits for Vince to move
[10:26:37 PM] * DC Shushs Vince
[10:27:03 PM] * DC puts on a very sierious glare toward Vince
[10:27:05 PM] Kagi * a soft "snik" can be heard as arm spurs slid down on one of the guards, his face is a crimson red. The other continues shouting.
[10:27:07 PM] * Vince grumbling, removed his shoes, showing a pair of clean suit sox
[10:27:19 PM] DC "take off your shoes Please"
[10:27:59 PM] * Vince puts his shoes in his duffelbag
[10:28:01 PM] Kagi *As Vince removes his shoes the guards retreat and calm themselves
[10:28:04 PM] Vince "Happy now?"
[10:28:34 PM] * DC goes back to the nice face she wears most of time
[10:28:49 PM] * Vince shakes his ehad.
[10:28:53 PM] Kagi *Eddie "You crazy americans, always starting trouble." ::he smiles, but something vicious can be detected this time::
[10:29:15 PM] Vince "Japanese, always acting like you're in Japan.."
[10:29:40 PM] * DC really wishes for a mute spell right about now
[10:29:42 PM] * Butterfly slaps Vince upside the head.
[10:30:12 PM] * Vince turns to Butterfly "You do that another time, I'll get you wet."
[10:30:18 PM] * Doc smiles widely at Butterfly
[10:30:23 PM] * Vince re-ajusted his clothing
[10:31:06 PM] * Butterfly smiles kindly at Vince, "You wish."
[10:31:32 PM] Vince "Always with the humping huh?"
[10:31:51 PM] Kagi *Eddie ::slides another door open revealing a square room with several cushions on the floor. The air is heavy with insense:: "Please wait inside. You employer will arrive shortly." ::He looks to Vince specifically:: "Make no mistakes you are in Japan. Please be respectful at all times." ::He smiles again and bows quickly::
[10:32:09 PM] * DC puts her finger to her lips and makes a "shhh" sound to vince
[10:32:10 PM] * Butterfly looks at Vince oddly, clearly not getting the reference.
[10:32:21 PM] * Vince looks at Eddie leaving
[10:33:04 PM] * Manzazzuu moves into the square room, and takes a cushion, Naroko sits at his right hand.
[10:33:13 PM] * Doc looks at Vince"Please remember this is the people paying us please behave somewhat."
[10:33:53 PM] Vince "what? It's not like I raped his wife and came back for my watch the next day.."
[10:34:30 PM] * Pele sits on a cushion, ignoring Vince's actions
[10:34:37 PM] * Doc "Please just keep quit if feel you cannot control yourself then."
[10:34:42 PM] Butterfly "I don't think he was married. He wasn't wearing a ring."
[10:34:57 PM] Vince "ring doesn't mean nothing nomore..."
[10:34:57 PM] Doc *quiet
[10:35:44 PM] Vince "Besides, it's only an expression.."
[10:36:24 PM] * Vince walks around the room, looking at nothing in particular
[10:37:04 PM] Kagi *The same female servent slides the door open and enters the room. With her she carries a tea tray. Without making a sound she offers each runner some of the tea
[10:37:19 PM] * Butterfly accepts.
[10:37:21 PM] * DC accepts the offer
[10:37:34 PM] * Doc takes a cup
[10:37:44 PM] * Vince denies the tea.
[10:37:49 PM] Manzazzuu Manny also accepts, Naroko, at a motion from Manny does too.
[10:38:39 PM] Kagi *She bows to each runner in turn and pours them a full cup of the potent tea. She then quietly set the tea down on a table and exits the room
[10:39:30 PM] * DC hopes the tea is not poisoned.... tho the reasons why it might be excape her at the moment
[10:39:36 PM] Kagi *The runners are left in the room with silence
[10:40:04 PM] * Butterfly sips at the tea with no obvious recognition of potential consequences and looks around the room.
[10:40:10 PM] DC "so, how has everyone been?"
[10:40:16 PM] * Vince starts looking for an ashtray
[10:40:38 PM] * Pele drinks his tea
[10:41:51 PM] Butterfly "I maxed out my sniper on MS. She's in the Alterian Grid now."
[10:42:01 PM] Manzazzuu Manny takes the moment to introduce his new bodyguard to Naroko. "Everyone, I should introduce you to Rick's replacement. Her name is Naroko. Naroko, please meet Butterfly, Vince, Pele, and Doc. DC you met in the car." He motions to the appropriate people at the appropriate times, and Naroko gives the others a nod of greeting.
[10:42:10 PM] Doc "I have been well DC studying and all but that about it."
[10:42:39 PM] Vince "I-a Fixed the van a little to my likings..still not a car thought."
[10:43:22 PM] Kagi *The door at the other end of the room slides back to reveal a frail, dry old man in a silk kimono. At his arm is Eddie. Eddie takes a seat at his right and slightly behind him. The man sits eyeing each runner
[10:43:23 PM] DC "that is good"
[10:44:07 PM] * Vince stands up, but after a second decides to sit down, "for the greater good of the team"
[10:45:07 PM] Kagi *The old man "I am Soto Toyama. Oyabun of the Yamaguchi family here in seattle." ::his voice is heavy and raspy with age::
[10:46:09 PM] Kagi *Eddie pours Soto Toyama a cup of tea as Soto talks
[10:46:36 PM] * DC bows and speaks in Japanese "It is a great honor to meet you"
[10:48:13 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::his face is set in a perpetual grim frown. He bows his head to DC::
[10:48:14 PM] Manzazzuu Manny is bowing even as DC starts, and at a gesture so does Naroko. He also speaks in Japanese to reinforce DC's comment. "I am sure that we are all very honoured."
[10:49:17 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::his face lingers on the traditonal japanese make-up on Naroko for a moment, then he bows to them both::
[10:51:01 PM] * Pele bows, following the others, but not knowing what was meant in the speech
[10:51:07 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::begins talking in japanese, Eddie translates for him:: "I have need of your service. My Family is in jepordy."
[10:52:06 PM] * Vince listens, oberving both Eddie and the Oyabun
[10:53:04 PM] Manzazzuu "I am sure a man such as you will know what you feel you need to know of us, but I would feel remiss were I not to introduce myself and my companions. I am Manzazzuu, these are Butterfly, DC, Doc, Pele, and Vince, my companions. My Yojimbo is Naroko." He says to Toyama when the bowing is done.
[10:53:08 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "Last night my Daughter did not return home. She has gone missing."
[10:53:24 PM] Manzazzuu He continues to speak in japanese.
[10:55:14 PM] * Butterfly looks at Manny like he's a little off for a moment while he's speaking, then returns her attention to Toyama.
[10:56:14 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::pauses to listen to Manzazzuu, then addresses him:: "You have already met my kobun, Eddie Yamaguchi."
[10:57:38 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "Things are...not well between my family and the Mafia. You are aware I'm sure. It has been said that perhaps they seek to use my daughter against me."
[10:59:26 PM] * Manzazzuu goes quiet, and listens attentively to Toyama and Eddie.
[10:59:45 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "I will pay you 80,000¥ to find her and bring her to me."
[11:00:53 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::he addresses Vince now:: "I am aware of your recent problems."
[11:01:20 PM] Vince "Are you, Oyabun Toyama?"
[11:01:36 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "I am."
[11:01:43 PM] Vince "and?"
[11:02:24 PM] Vince "I had nothing to do with your daughter not showing up, if that's what you mean."
[11:02:24 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "I would consider this job a personal favor for my family."
[11:02:49 PM] * Vince is silent for a moment
[11:03:21 PM] Vince "How would this favor help with my problems Oyabun?"
[11:03:41 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "We know where to look in Seattle. We know Seattle." ::he raises an eyebrow::
[11:04:16 PM] Vince "Are you certain that the Mafia is involved? she could have gone to sleep at a friend's house or her boyfriend's."
[11:05:16 PM] Vince " I have no intention to start a mob war, which will be unadventagable for both parties."
[11:06:09 PM] * Manzazzuu sips his tea. Now that Toyama is engaged in a 'private' conversation with Vince, he does his best to look as though he's not listening, while he remains attentive in case he begins adressing the group again, or him specifically.
[11:06:25 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "Akihana is my daughter, she is rarely without protection, without eyes on her. I must protect my family from my enemies after all."
[11:06:52 PM] Vince "Understandable..but where were those eyes last night?"
[11:07:03 PM] Butterfly "Mob war's his problem, not ours." then to Toyama, "Where do we look?"
[11:07:38 PM] * Vince turns to face Butterfly "Don't talk about what you don't know."
[11:07:52 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::he again addresses the group::"She attends a private school, it is guarded and enclosed. She disappered from there."
[11:07:53 PM] Manzazzuu When the subject returns to the run in general, rather than Vince specifically, he becomes attentive again.
[11:08:10 PM] * Butterfly blatently ignores Vince.
[11:08:40 PM] Butterfly "How?"
[11:10:10 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "That is exactly what I am hireing you to find."
[11:10:42 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "You will be my Teppodama."
[11:11:57 PM] Manzazzuu "Honourable Oyabun, will we be welcomed at the private school to begin our investigation?"
[11:12:03 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "You can go where we can not. You can talk to those we can not."
[11:12:10 PM] Butterfly "Right. Where was she last seen?"
[11:12:14 PM] Vince "We need information Oyabun..vids, pics, names of her relations, stuff like that.."
[11:12:29 PM] Vince "Just shooting goombas won't cut it."
[11:14:49 PM] Vince "And she might just run away for a while..get some distance from everything." He waved at the room, not to show it off, but more to point out the enviromment he was in
[11:15:11 PM] Kagi *Eddie produces a chip and extends his hand for someone to take it
[11:15:36 PM] Manzazzuu Manzazzuu accepts it with a small bow.
[11:16:17 PM] * Pele listens, letting the others do the questioning
[11:16:38 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::looks to Vince with a deap pan expression::
[11:17:41 PM] Kagi *Eddie too seems just a little shocked at Vince's comment
[11:18:06 PM] * DC is taking the typical Japanese Girl Road and being quite and respectful while being attentive
[11:18:54 PM] * Vince grin lightly back "Do not get me wrong Oyabun..Despite her priviledged place, it is sometime streessful for the youth to not go out and blow off some steam once in a while..of course, this is just a picture perfect theory, I doubt this is the case, but it might be a slight possibility."
[11:18:55 PM] * Butterfly is grinning slightly.
[11:19:50 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::ignores Vince now and returns to addressing the group:: "DC has done work for us in the past, she will assure you I am an honorable man and will pay my obligations."
[11:20:44 PM] Manzazzuu "I need no such assurances where a man of your stature is concerned." Manzazzuu replies, once again in Japanese.
[11:20:52 PM] * DC nods
[11:21:25 PM] Kagi *Both Eddie and Soto Toyama both stand and bow.
[11:21:36 PM] Vince "How much time to we have?"
[11:21:43 PM] * Manzazzuu also stands, and bows.
[11:21:56 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "You may contact Mr. Yamaguchi with any questions."
[11:22:02 PM] Manzazzuu He also gets his yojimbo to do the same.
[11:22:51 PM] * DC follows Manzazzu's lead
[11:23:00 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "Time is not a factor, but I want my daughter back. If your delays cause that to be otherwise...I will be displeased."
[11:23:27 PM] Vince "Understood"
[11:23:35 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama exits the room while Eddie Stays
(((End Session)))
The runners have finshed the last job and have scattered to their repective corners of the Seattle metroplex to indulge in some much needed rest and relax time.
The next days trideo newscast briefly reports a flair up in gang activity in Redmond. As many as thirty gangers set fire to a condemed building. Lone Star believes it was a turf war between rival gangs over illegial simsense chip production.
Thirty two days have passed since the runners completed the last run when Butterfly's comm. chimes with an incomming call just before 4am. Celeste DeReid has a job set up. She provides an address in the Everett district for the meet. Mr. Johnson will be waiting. "You have until o-six-hundred to assemble a team and high-tail it to the meet, any longer and the job goes to another team per Mr. Johnson's demands", Celeste warns. "The Johnson has also personally requested D.C. and that driver, Vince, to be in attendance. He's quiet adamant about that."
Local time is 4:07 am when Butterfly disconnects the comm. call with Celeste. Nuyen waits for no one, time to suit up and in a hurry.

[9:20:26 PM] Vince "It better be good work..."
[9:21:12 PM] * Vince gets up and hits the shower, before getting dressed, checking his gear, and leaving a note for Amelia, so shw won't be worried about his absence.
[9:21:22 PM] Kagi *Only Vince wakes to his comm. beeping an incomming text, the others are fast asleep unknown to Butterfly.
[9:21:39 PM] * Manzazzuu sleeps soundly, his 'housemates' silently going about their own business.
[9:22:06 PM] Kagi *At 4:30 only vince has called back.
[9:22:09 PM] * Pele rolls around in his sleep, and sees his message alert button flashing. 10 minutes of groggy sleep later, he replies to Butterfly. "Fine whatever. Just make it later next time."
[9:23:04 PM] * Vince gets in his van, and heads toward the adress Butterfly send him, along the way he stops at a 24 hours Stuffershach, and gets a warm morning soy-burrito
[9:24:40 PM] * Butterfly finishes packing and is ready to go about 4:30. She starts driving toward Manny's place while she calls Doc voice...so it will ring a lot.
[9:25:57 PM] * Doc sends back "Hello what its too early call back."
[9:27:00 PM] * Vince then stops a bit later, near downtown to get a big cup of soycaf, which he then Irsh-up.

[9:27:16 PM] * Pele jumps on his bike and sets towards the address at 5:00
[9:30:02 PM] Kagi *Everett is in the north of Seattle, at 5am traffic is starting to get bad as the wage slaves begin the commute downtown. The sky is starting to lighten and makes a pretty picture on the smog and pollution in Seattles sky
[9:30:35 PM] Butterfly After calling Doc, Butterfly calls DC and repeats the proccess.
[9:31:05 PM] * Doc sends "I will need a ride if I am gonna make it in time."
[9:31:16 PM] Butterfly "Where do you live?"
[9:31:44 PM] * Vince flicks on his new second-hand radio, looking for a traffic report
[9:32:05 PM] * Doc "Redmond
[9:32:15 PM] * DC wakes up to the sound of her phone
[9:32:58 PM] * DC "sure I'll try to catch a cab or something"
[9:34:44 PM] * Butterfly repeats the process with manny, since she has such a long drive to get to him.
[9:35:15 PM] * Butterfly will stop and pick up Doc on the way.
[9:36:02 PM] * DC calls a cab company to her house
[9:36:07 PM] * Doc goes out to the closest coffee shop and waits for Butterfly while drinking his sofcaff
[9:37:31 PM] * Vince manages to wdrive himself out of the mornihg rush hour, and into snohomish
[9:37:48 PM] Manzazzuu A girl in a bhirka moves over to where Manny is sleeping and wakes him up when the phone starts ringing. Manny groans, gets up, and answers the phone. "Hello?"
[9:38:11 PM] * Butterfly already picked up Doc at this point.
[9:38:29 PM] Butterfly "We've got a job. I've got Doc with me. You need a ride?"
[9:38:45 PM] * DC phones Butterfly " any chance you can pick me up?"
[9:39:41 PM] Manzazzuu "Wouldn't hurt, and it'd give me time to gather my gear. There'll be another runner with me. That cool?"
[9:40:40 PM] Butterfly "Fine. Make it fast. We're realy short on time. I'll be there soon."
[9:41:07 PM] Butterfly to DC - "where are you?"
[9:41:17 PM] Manzazzuu "I'll skip the makeup then." He says. "See you soon." He hangs up, and starts getting ready.
[9:41:46 PM] DC "Tacoma"
[9:42:57 PM] * DC gives butterfly the location of a coffieshop neer her apartment, then heads there after she is ready
[9:43:26 PM] Kagi *Current time is 5:05 am
[9:43:47 PM] * Vince lights a smoke as he leaves Snohomish and enters Everett
[9:46:40 PM] * Butterfly texts manny the location and time as well as dc's locale. "Change of plans. Get DC and book it."
[9:46:47 PM] * Pele is on the rode, heading towards the meeting
[9:47:55 PM] Manzazzuu He replies: "Alright, see you there."
[9:48:11 PM] * Butterfly calls DC.
[9:48:22 PM] * Butterfly heads for the meet.
[9:48:27 PM] Kagi *Both Vince and Pele make the deadline with much time to spare, taking their time as they go. You both arrive in a very expensive neigborhood in Everett. This is as close to "the country" as seattle gets.
[9:48:28 PM] DC Answers "hello?"
[9:48:56 PM] Butterfly "Hey. Manny's gonna pick you up. on his way."
[9:49:28 PM] * Vince lokos around the neigborhood thinking he at least got the clothes to blend in nicely
[9:49:34 PM] Manzazzuu Manny finishes getting ready, waves his new bodyguard over, and heads out of his rented home over to his garage. Hopping into the car, the two speed off to pick up DC.
[9:49:44 PM] DC "ok... Thanks" me sounds perky all of a sudden
[9:50:20 PM] Kagi * The address leads you to a closed gate. A wall runs the perimeter of the yard. From your guess the yard is huge, but the wall keeps prying eyes out. Current time is 5:20am
[9:50:32 PM] * Pele nods to Vince
[9:51:10 PM] * Vince passes in front of the meeting place Butterfly told him, driving in the speed limit, observing the place and it's surroundings
[9:51:19 PM] * Doc asks Butterfly " Mind if I stash some spare clothes in back here?"
[9:52:06 PM] Butterfly "Sure"
[9:52:31 PM] Doc "thanks"
[9:52:59 PM] Manzazzuu He doesn't take long (though he does his best not to break speed limits), to pull up in front of the coffee shop DC designated in his Mercury Comet - some girl in the passenger seat. He honks the horn, as the girl gets out of the front seat, and moves into the back. She's wearing lots of red leather, and has her face painted white. She leaves the front door open for DC.
[9:53:18 PM] * Doc stuffs a jumpsuit and a few items of clothing in the back end of the van.
[9:53:52 PM] * DC jumps in as soon as she hears the horn and sees Manzazzu.
[9:53:53 PM] * Vince parks his van near the meeting place in such way to have a clear view of the comming traffic and the building.
[9:55:05 PM] * DC greets the new girl
[9:56:47 PM] Manzazzuu He starts driving away. "DC, this is Naroko. She's had her tongue removed, so don't expect her to say much. Naroko, meet DC." He heads for the meet.
[9:59:15 PM] * DC gives Manzazzuu a Quizical Look and pipes up "I've Gone to Medical school if you want me to take a look at it, maybe there is a replacement that could be graphed on""
[9:59:28 PM] Kagi *Butterfly and Doc make the meet followed closely by Manzazzuu, Naroko, and DC. At exactly 6am the front gate opens to allow entrance to the grounds. Two large Orks wave the cars inside
[10:00:06 PM] * Butterfly drives through the gate.
[10:00:25 PM] * Vince starts his van and drives in, behind BF's van
[10:01:58 PM] Kagi *The runners drive through the gate and into the past. Japanese architecture dominates the scene. Tranquil ponds, zen gardens, and bamboo stalks are framed by immaculate gardens mixed with herbs, fruit trees, and blossoms of every hue. It is a small paradise that would soften the heart and thrill the senses of even the most jaded city dweller. It must cost a fortune just to maintain all of it in Seattles notoriously polluted ecosystem.
[10:03:05 PM] Kagi *A long twisting driveway snakes through the garden forcing the runners to drive slowly. It make it impossible to see very far in front of them.
[10:03:16 PM] * Vince is having a bad feeling about this job...
[10:03:37 PM] * DC lets out an "ooo" of astonishment
[10:03:39 PM] Manzazzuu "She likes it that way." He says with a shrug. They pull up, and he stops the car.
[10:04:21 PM] Kagi * The house itself is built in the popular Neo-Japanese style. It is a mixture of archaic Japanese mansion and Buddhist temple architecture, modified slightly to accommodate cutting edge modern conveniences and electronics. The whole Mansion is built using modern construction materials making it many times more durable, secure, and energy efficent then it's ancient counterparts. As you approach you can see that security measures are very subtle, but abundant.
[10:05:14 PM] Kagi *On the front step that lead to the wrap-around porch, a well muscled and attractive japanese man is waiting for the team. His suit fairly drips of nuyen and is cut in the lastest seattle fashions; it is anything but conservative. He presents an infectious smile of gleaming white teeth that is sly and yet warm at the same time. Two vicious looking ork razors flank him, each presents obvious and extensive cyber and bioware enhancments.
[10:05:57 PM] Kagi *The drive way wraps around on itself leaving the runners room to park end to end
[10:07:10 PM] * Vince park his van in a way to make a uick getaway if need be
[10:07:47 PM] * Pele gets off his bike and waits for the rest of the runners to get out
[10:07:52 PM] Manzazzuu Getting out of his car, he walks around to open the doors for DC and Naroko.
[10:08:17 PM] * DC gets out and thanks Manvavvuu
[10:08:38 PM] * Butterfly parks and exits, leaving her gear in the van.
[10:09:33 PM] * Vince kills his engine before reaching under the dash board for a second. He then exits the van, ajusting his suit and hat.
[10:10:57 PM] Manzazzuu Naroko also gets out, and Manny shuts the doors, and locks up his car. For the record Naroko is a short asian woman, her face made up like a kabooki theatre mask. She's wearing a red leather jacket, red leather pants, and red leather gloves. Under the leather jacket is a black armor jacket.
[10:11:26 PM] * DC upon seeing the nicly dressed man looks a bit whiter then usual
[10:11:54 PM] * Doc follows behind the rest
[10:12:17 PM] * Butterfly locks up the van once Doc is out.
[10:12:17 PM] * Vince starts slowly making his way to the front step
[10:12:20 PM] * DC follows behind doc
[10:16:33 PM] Kagi *The asian man "My name is Eddie Yamaguchi. Pleased to meet you all." ::He says in perfect english without a hint of accent. He then bows and smiles again.::
[10:17:03 PM] * DC bows the approprate lenth for a man of his sature
[10:17:20 PM] * Vince nods to the Eddie "Mornin' Ed."
[10:17:30 PM] * DC smiles after the bow
[10:17:46 PM] * Pele bows as best he can
[10:17:48 PM] Manzazzuu "The honour is mine." Replies Manzazzuu, in fair Japanese.
[10:19:52 PM] Kagi *Eddie ::his smile slips a bit at Vince's responce and he raises an eyebrow at Manzazzuu but says nothing::
[10:22:27 PM] Butterfly "Pleased to meet you, too." She says wit ha smile.
[10:22:28 PM] * Vince looks discreetly looks around
[10:24:42 PM] Vince "So, did you bring us here just for a firendly hello or for work?"
[10:24:54 PM] Kagi *Eddie "If you would follow me, please." ::he says as he turns, and removes his shoes. A servent girl dressed in the traditional robes opens the door as he approches and enters, leaving it open for the others::
[10:25:17 PM] * Vince walks in, keeping his shoes
[10:25:17 PM] Kagi *The two guards stay at the door
[10:25:33 PM] * Doc will enter remove his shoes and follow "When in rome..."
[10:25:53 PM] Kagi *The guards immediatly stop Vince and begin shouting in japanese
[10:25:54 PM] * Butterfly removes her shoes as well.
[10:26:10 PM] * Manzazzuu moves to the door, remove his shoes, and help Naroko get her combat boots off, before going inside.
[10:26:13 PM] * DC fallows the man and takes off her shoes when she enters the house wishing she wore her slip ons instead of the hightops
[10:26:20 PM] Vince "We're in the UCAS, speak english"
[10:26:28 PM] * Pele takes his shoes off, and waits for Vince to move
[10:26:37 PM] * DC Shushs Vince
[10:27:03 PM] * DC puts on a very sierious glare toward Vince
[10:27:05 PM] Kagi * a soft "snik" can be heard as arm spurs slid down on one of the guards, his face is a crimson red. The other continues shouting.
[10:27:07 PM] * Vince grumbling, removed his shoes, showing a pair of clean suit sox
[10:27:19 PM] DC "take off your shoes Please"
[10:27:59 PM] * Vince puts his shoes in his duffelbag
[10:28:01 PM] Kagi *As Vince removes his shoes the guards retreat and calm themselves
[10:28:04 PM] Vince "Happy now?"
[10:28:34 PM] * DC goes back to the nice face she wears most of time
[10:28:49 PM] * Vince shakes his ehad.
[10:28:53 PM] Kagi *Eddie "You crazy americans, always starting trouble." ::he smiles, but something vicious can be detected this time::
[10:29:15 PM] Vince "Japanese, always acting like you're in Japan.."
[10:29:40 PM] * DC really wishes for a mute spell right about now
[10:29:42 PM] * Butterfly slaps Vince upside the head.
[10:30:12 PM] * Vince turns to Butterfly "You do that another time, I'll get you wet."
[10:30:18 PM] * Doc smiles widely at Butterfly
[10:30:23 PM] * Vince re-ajusted his clothing
[10:31:06 PM] * Butterfly smiles kindly at Vince, "You wish."
[10:31:32 PM] Vince "Always with the humping huh?"
[10:31:51 PM] Kagi *Eddie ::slides another door open revealing a square room with several cushions on the floor. The air is heavy with insense:: "Please wait inside. You employer will arrive shortly." ::He looks to Vince specifically:: "Make no mistakes you are in Japan. Please be respectful at all times." ::He smiles again and bows quickly::
[10:32:09 PM] * DC puts her finger to her lips and makes a "shhh" sound to vince
[10:32:10 PM] * Butterfly looks at Vince oddly, clearly not getting the reference.
[10:32:21 PM] * Vince looks at Eddie leaving
[10:33:04 PM] * Manzazzuu moves into the square room, and takes a cushion, Naroko sits at his right hand.
[10:33:13 PM] * Doc looks at Vince"Please remember this is the people paying us please behave somewhat."
[10:33:53 PM] Vince "what? It's not like I raped his wife and came back for my watch the next day.."
[10:34:30 PM] * Pele sits on a cushion, ignoring Vince's actions
[10:34:37 PM] * Doc "Please just keep quit if feel you cannot control yourself then."
[10:34:42 PM] Butterfly "I don't think he was married. He wasn't wearing a ring."
[10:34:57 PM] Vince "ring doesn't mean nothing nomore..."
[10:34:57 PM] Doc *quiet
[10:35:44 PM] Vince "Besides, it's only an expression.."
[10:36:24 PM] * Vince walks around the room, looking at nothing in particular
[10:37:04 PM] Kagi *The same female servent slides the door open and enters the room. With her she carries a tea tray. Without making a sound she offers each runner some of the tea
[10:37:19 PM] * Butterfly accepts.
[10:37:21 PM] * DC accepts the offer
[10:37:34 PM] * Doc takes a cup
[10:37:44 PM] * Vince denies the tea.
[10:37:49 PM] Manzazzuu Manny also accepts, Naroko, at a motion from Manny does too.
[10:38:39 PM] Kagi *She bows to each runner in turn and pours them a full cup of the potent tea. She then quietly set the tea down on a table and exits the room
[10:39:30 PM] * DC hopes the tea is not poisoned.... tho the reasons why it might be excape her at the moment
[10:39:36 PM] Kagi *The runners are left in the room with silence
[10:40:04 PM] * Butterfly sips at the tea with no obvious recognition of potential consequences and looks around the room.
[10:40:10 PM] DC "so, how has everyone been?"
[10:40:16 PM] * Vince starts looking for an ashtray
[10:40:38 PM] * Pele drinks his tea
[10:41:51 PM] Butterfly "I maxed out my sniper on MS. She's in the Alterian Grid now."
[10:42:01 PM] Manzazzuu Manny takes the moment to introduce his new bodyguard to Naroko. "Everyone, I should introduce you to Rick's replacement. Her name is Naroko. Naroko, please meet Butterfly, Vince, Pele, and Doc. DC you met in the car." He motions to the appropriate people at the appropriate times, and Naroko gives the others a nod of greeting.
[10:42:10 PM] Doc "I have been well DC studying and all but that about it."
[10:42:39 PM] Vince "I-a Fixed the van a little to my likings..still not a car thought."
[10:43:22 PM] Kagi *The door at the other end of the room slides back to reveal a frail, dry old man in a silk kimono. At his arm is Eddie. Eddie takes a seat at his right and slightly behind him. The man sits eyeing each runner
[10:43:23 PM] DC "that is good"
[10:44:07 PM] * Vince stands up, but after a second decides to sit down, "for the greater good of the team"
[10:45:07 PM] Kagi *The old man "I am Soto Toyama. Oyabun of the Yamaguchi family here in seattle." ::his voice is heavy and raspy with age::
[10:46:09 PM] Kagi *Eddie pours Soto Toyama a cup of tea as Soto talks
[10:46:36 PM] * DC bows and speaks in Japanese "It is a great honor to meet you"
[10:48:13 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::his face is set in a perpetual grim frown. He bows his head to DC::
[10:48:14 PM] Manzazzuu Manny is bowing even as DC starts, and at a gesture so does Naroko. He also speaks in Japanese to reinforce DC's comment. "I am sure that we are all very honoured."
[10:49:17 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::his face lingers on the traditonal japanese make-up on Naroko for a moment, then he bows to them both::
[10:51:01 PM] * Pele bows, following the others, but not knowing what was meant in the speech
[10:51:07 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::begins talking in japanese, Eddie translates for him:: "I have need of your service. My Family is in jepordy."
[10:52:06 PM] * Vince listens, oberving both Eddie and the Oyabun
[10:53:04 PM] Manzazzuu "I am sure a man such as you will know what you feel you need to know of us, but I would feel remiss were I not to introduce myself and my companions. I am Manzazzuu, these are Butterfly, DC, Doc, Pele, and Vince, my companions. My Yojimbo is Naroko." He says to Toyama when the bowing is done.
[10:53:08 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "Last night my Daughter did not return home. She has gone missing."
[10:53:24 PM] Manzazzuu He continues to speak in japanese.
[10:55:14 PM] * Butterfly looks at Manny like he's a little off for a moment while he's speaking, then returns her attention to Toyama.
[10:56:14 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::pauses to listen to Manzazzuu, then addresses him:: "You have already met my kobun, Eddie Yamaguchi."
[10:57:38 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "Things are...not well between my family and the Mafia. You are aware I'm sure. It has been said that perhaps they seek to use my daughter against me."
[10:59:26 PM] * Manzazzuu goes quiet, and listens attentively to Toyama and Eddie.
[10:59:45 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "I will pay you 80,000¥ to find her and bring her to me."
[11:00:53 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::he addresses Vince now:: "I am aware of your recent problems."
[11:01:20 PM] Vince "Are you, Oyabun Toyama?"
[11:01:36 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "I am."
[11:01:43 PM] Vince "and?"
[11:02:24 PM] Vince "I had nothing to do with your daughter not showing up, if that's what you mean."
[11:02:24 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "I would consider this job a personal favor for my family."
[11:02:49 PM] * Vince is silent for a moment
[11:03:21 PM] Vince "How would this favor help with my problems Oyabun?"
[11:03:41 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "We know where to look in Seattle. We know Seattle." ::he raises an eyebrow::
[11:04:16 PM] Vince "Are you certain that the Mafia is involved? she could have gone to sleep at a friend's house or her boyfriend's."
[11:05:16 PM] Vince " I have no intention to start a mob war, which will be unadventagable for both parties."
[11:06:09 PM] * Manzazzuu sips his tea. Now that Toyama is engaged in a 'private' conversation with Vince, he does his best to look as though he's not listening, while he remains attentive in case he begins adressing the group again, or him specifically.
[11:06:25 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "Akihana is my daughter, she is rarely without protection, without eyes on her. I must protect my family from my enemies after all."
[11:06:52 PM] Vince "Understandable..but where were those eyes last night?"
[11:07:03 PM] Butterfly "Mob war's his problem, not ours." then to Toyama, "Where do we look?"
[11:07:38 PM] * Vince turns to face Butterfly "Don't talk about what you don't know."
[11:07:52 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::he again addresses the group::"She attends a private school, it is guarded and enclosed. She disappered from there."
[11:07:53 PM] Manzazzuu When the subject returns to the run in general, rather than Vince specifically, he becomes attentive again.
[11:08:10 PM] * Butterfly blatently ignores Vince.
[11:08:40 PM] Butterfly "How?"
[11:10:10 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "That is exactly what I am hireing you to find."
[11:10:42 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "You will be my Teppodama."
[11:11:57 PM] Manzazzuu "Honourable Oyabun, will we be welcomed at the private school to begin our investigation?"
[11:12:03 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "You can go where we can not. You can talk to those we can not."
[11:12:10 PM] Butterfly "Right. Where was she last seen?"
[11:12:14 PM] Vince "We need information Oyabun..vids, pics, names of her relations, stuff like that.."
[11:12:29 PM] Vince "Just shooting goombas won't cut it."
[11:14:49 PM] Vince "And she might just run away for a while..get some distance from everything." He waved at the room, not to show it off, but more to point out the enviromment he was in
[11:15:11 PM] Kagi *Eddie produces a chip and extends his hand for someone to take it
[11:15:36 PM] Manzazzuu Manzazzuu accepts it with a small bow.
[11:16:17 PM] * Pele listens, letting the others do the questioning
[11:16:38 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::looks to Vince with a deap pan expression::
[11:17:41 PM] Kagi *Eddie too seems just a little shocked at Vince's comment
[11:18:06 PM] * DC is taking the typical Japanese Girl Road and being quite and respectful while being attentive
[11:18:54 PM] * Vince grin lightly back "Do not get me wrong Oyabun..Despite her priviledged place, it is sometime streessful for the youth to not go out and blow off some steam once in a while..of course, this is just a picture perfect theory, I doubt this is the case, but it might be a slight possibility."
[11:18:55 PM] * Butterfly is grinning slightly.
[11:19:50 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama ::ignores Vince now and returns to addressing the group:: "DC has done work for us in the past, she will assure you I am an honorable man and will pay my obligations."
[11:20:44 PM] Manzazzuu "I need no such assurances where a man of your stature is concerned." Manzazzuu replies, once again in Japanese.
[11:20:52 PM] * DC nods
[11:21:25 PM] Kagi *Both Eddie and Soto Toyama both stand and bow.
[11:21:36 PM] Vince "How much time to we have?"
[11:21:43 PM] * Manzazzuu also stands, and bows.
[11:21:56 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "You may contact Mr. Yamaguchi with any questions."
[11:22:02 PM] Manzazzuu He also gets his yojimbo to do the same.
[11:22:51 PM] * DC follows Manzazzu's lead
[11:23:00 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama "Time is not a factor, but I want my daughter back. If your delays cause that to be otherwise...I will be displeased."
[11:23:27 PM] Vince "Understood"
[11:23:35 PM] Kagi * Soto Toyama exits the room while Eddie Stays
(((End Session)))
