*****Recap of Last Session*****
The runners have have finshed their meeting with Eddie Yamaguchi and left the Yakuza compund for an upscale resteraunt where Butterfly is well known.
Sitting down for some breakfast the team begins to plan on how best to follow up on their leads to find Akihana. They hunker down in a private room that measures roughly 10x10 ft to discuss. But the team's food is intterupted by a face full of badges and combat shotguns. It seems Lone Star is on the scene.
A detective flashes his badge, over the barrel of his Rudger Super Warhawk, which contains a small encoded VR tag that confirms him as Detective Jack Drapp followed by his badge number. He is flanked on either side by two Lone Star beat cops with combat shotguns leveled at the team. More police can be seen in the hall beyond.
Local time is 8:15am.
*****End Recap*****
[8:53:39 PM] * Butterfly leans against the door, "Morning boys." she says with a smile.
[8:53:46 PM] * DC smiles
[8:54:02 PM] DC "what seems to be the matter?"
[8:55:06 PM] Jack_Drapp "Let's see everyone's hands on the table, I don't want anyone getting violent."
[8:55:29 PM] * Jack_Drapp motions with his ruger
[8:55:38 PM] * Pele raises his hands on the table, calmy and quietly
[8:56:45 PM] * DC puts her hands on the table
[8:56:51 PM] * Butterfly walks back to her seat, and puts her hands on the table. Then, looks up at the detective slightly amused, awaiting an explanation.
[8:57:17 PM] * Doc takes his hands slowly out of his pockets and shows them to Jack
[8:59:27 PM] Jack_Drapp ::only after everyone puts their hands on the table does Detective Drapp move. He then raises his gun and points it at the ceiling at ease:: "Now that's better. I feel so much safer..."
[9:00:57 PM] Jack_Drapp "Now word is that you SINless scum have been hired by a Mister Eddie Yamaguchi ."
[9:02:16 PM] * Butterfly waits patiently to hear what he really knows before responding.
[9:02:43 PM] Pele "You are mistaken. I have a SIN."
[9:03:09 PM] Jack_Drapp ::He glances at Butterfly:: "Your communications are completely uncoded...." ::he trails off as Pele speaks up::
[9:03:45 PM] * Manzazzuu places his hands on the table, watches, and listens to the goings on.
[9:04:05 PM] Jack_Drapp "Oh do you then. Well let's see it then my friend." ::he smiles like a cat staring down a mouse::
[9:04:25 PM] Butterfly "Of course they are. Everyone's gonna see my displays anyway."
[9:05:24 PM] * Pele show Jack his sin
[9:07:01 PM] * Jack_Drapp reaches across the table and takes card from Pele and hands it back to one of the officers not aiming a combat shotgun
[9:08:30 PM] Jack_Drapp ::he returns his attention to the group:: "So, as I was saying. We know everything."
[9:09:43 PM] Butterfly "Look, we're not giving you the invitation lists, if that's what you're looking for. We don't even have them."
[9:09:48 PM] * DC looks a bit more relaxed
[9:11:55 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Frowns at Butterfly:: "I'm told that breaking your comm. open and scanning it was like stealing candy from a baby Butterfly. We've read everything you have saved on it and we've been monitoring your communications all morning."
[9:12:29 PM] Jack_Drapp "We know all about Akihana."
[9:15:40 PM] Butterfly "Well, ya. He gave us her bio so we could get an idea of what she's into. If you have that you know as much as I do."
[9:16:03 PM] GM_Kagi ::Tugs on his leathers gloves a bit as he talks:: "I've been looking for a break like this for years, and I'm not going to let some street scum come blundering their way into this case and fragging it up!"
[9:16:57 PM] * Butterfly can't quite hold back laughing at his assumptions of compidence.
[9:17:19 PM] * DC switches over to astral just in case
[9:19:35 PM] * Vince , his hands on the table listens to Dick Drapp, watching him and his goons in uniforms.
[9:20:55 PM] * Manzazzuu continues to watch, and to listen, as he waits to see how much further this will develop. Nothing has gone so far that he feels he needs to intercede yet.
[9:21:27 PM] Jack_Drapp "The Star is of course interested in stopping a gang war between the yakuza and the mafia. Not have a bunch of misfits like yourselves screw things up."
[9:22:21 PM] * Vince slightly smile
[9:22:25 PM] Butterfly "This is way more than any of us need or want to know."
[9:22:47 PM] Pele "Done with my card yet?"
[9:24:05 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Frowns again:: "You all think this is a big joke? I could take the lot of you in right now, I doubt very much that anyone of your SINs will stand up to a thorough looking at."
[9:24:51 PM] Jack_Drapp "I could bust you on half a dozen things right now..." ::he grins:: "I'm even considering making up some drek."
[9:24:55 PM] Butterfly "Listen. We can't give you what you want, cause you haven't told us what it is."
[9:25:23 PM] Butterfly "You're *acting* like a big joke. Get used to people laughing at you if you won't be serious."
[9:27:53 PM] Butterfly "If you want something you have to ask for it. All these threats just make you look self-contious."
[9:30:55 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Sneers, but his right eye lid begins to twitch:: "Oh ha ha, laughing are you? You think this is all about a little girl. But your wrong!"
[9:31:15 PM] Jack_Drapp "This is about bugs."
[9:31:19 PM] * Vince wonders why Butterfly is in such a state at a cop just doing his job.
[9:32:04 PM] * DC sighs
[9:32:12 PM] Butterfly "Which is why they want fireworks, of course." she says sarcastically.
[9:32:36 PM] Vince "Watch it Drapp, this ain't somethin' you joke about."
[9:34:01 PM] Pele "Bugs?"
[9:34:11 PM] Pele "Very indescript word..."
[9:34:22 PM] Jack_Drapp "Bug spirits."
[9:34:45 PM] * Vince is shocked
[9:35:01 PM] Jack_Drapp "The nasty kind" ::sneers again, and again his eyelid twitches in some sort of nervous gesture::
[9:35:06 PM] Pele "Gang wars and bug spirits? I fail to see the connection."
[9:35:16 PM] Vince "Wait wait..bugs spirits? Who the hell want to bring bugs again? Didn't they got it with Chicago?"
[9:35:16 PM] Manzazzuu "I thought those were all taken care of." He says in a calm, quiet tone.
[9:37:49 PM] Jack_Drapp ::says in an arrogant manner:: "Exactly what I'm talking about. You know nothing. Chicago is clear, well mostly. But the bug shamans didn't just give up and die. Atzlan has them all over the jungles. Their underground right here in Seattle!"
[9:38:16 PM] Vince "Frag..just..wha..frag..FRAG!"
[9:38:21 PM] Jack_Drapp "And they are very pissed off."
[9:38:42 PM] Butterfly "That sucks and all, but what does it have to do with us?"
[9:39:11 PM] Jack_Drapp "Infiltration is the name of the game children." ::he sneers again and tug at his leather gloves::
[9:39:32 PM] Vince "Infiltrating who?"
[9:39:56 PM] Butterfly "Us apparently."
[9:40:23 PM] Jack_Drapp "Don't you see? I mean how simple can it be." ::he seems to be getting worked up emotionally::
[9:40:34 PM] DC "he is off his rocker" DC says in Japanese in a exauhsted tone
[9:40:52 PM] Jack_Drapp "Their infecting key officials within Seattle."
[9:40:59 PM] Butterfly "All the cake at that party is sure to atract them, right? And you want to be on our staff!"
[9:41:01 PM] Vince "Who?"
[9:41:12 PM] * Butterfly says with mock enthusiasm.
[9:42:46 PM] Jack_Drapp ::He indicates with his hands:: "They've stolen Akihana and are infecting her. They'll send her back alright, but as one of theirs. A bug. She is the key to her father the Oyabun. They want control of organized crime."
[9:43:15 PM] Vince "and what tells us they don't already control, oh I dunno-a..LoneStar?"
[9:43:36 PM] * Butterfly giggles at Vince's comment.
[9:44:08 PM] Jack_Drapp ::his face is a mask of stone except his twitching eyelid::
[9:44:41 PM] Jack_Drapp "Okay, you want to play me for a fool, huh?"
[9:44:57 PM] Vince "ain't sayin you are, but the brass might be..."
[9:45:08 PM] * Butterfly laughs again Drapp's wording.
[9:45:26 PM] * Vince motions to one of the beat cops with his head "Or that guy for all I know..."
[9:46:22 PM] Vince "They are the secretive kind of SOBs you don't wanna cross in a dark alley at night."
[9:46:45 PM] * Butterfly looks at Vince, "Actually that makes a lot of sense. That would explain why they're in here bothering us instead of doing something about the problem." she says in absolute seriousness.
[9:47:26 PM] Jack_Drapp ::tugs on his gloves again, the right side of his face twitching now:: "Very funny. Well see if you think this is funny. I want the lot of you to leave Akihana to me. Your off this 'job'. I don't want to hear your anywhere near any of this."l
[9:48:08 PM] * Vince snarls
[9:49:24 PM] Vince "You might be "the drek" in Aurora Village, but you don't know squat in Organised crime..if the Star grabs her up, they'll blame the Mafia for the delivery and the gang war will be inevitable."
[9:50:15 PM] Butterfly "Vince. He's pumping you for info and it's working. If he had any power over us he would do something more than talk."
[9:50:48 PM] Butterfly "Detective, we hear you. Good luck with whatever it is you're doing. Will you please let the waitress bring me my breakfast, now?"
[9:50:52 PM] * Vince raises his shoulders "I haven't said anything about wahtever job and girl he's talking about."
[9:52:19 PM] Butterfly "You're getting upset and letting your mouth go, though. We'll never get hired to host another party for this guy if you end up giving out private info about it."
[9:52:35 PM] Vince "What private info?"
[9:52:45 PM] * Vince seems confused
[9:52:59 PM] Vince "What are you doing in my house? Get out before I call the cops!"
[9:53:07 PM] Butterfly "Whatever it is they really want from us."
[9:53:27 PM] * Butterfly laughs some more.
[9:53:44 PM] Manzazzuu "He's probably looking to get a free party for his little girl, Butterfly."
[9:54:00 PM] * Pele sits in complete quiteness
[9:54:43 PM] Butterfly "That could be. I don't agree to many children's parties. He probably can't afford our normal rates."
[9:54:47 PM] * Vince gave out a sly smile
[9:56:26 PM] Jack_Drapp ::The right side of his face is twitching now and he is clinching and opening his left hand rapidly. He slowly brings his gun to aim directly at Butterfly:: "Oh you want to laugh, they all laughed at me. They laughed right up until Chicago exploded."
[9:56:56 PM] Jack_Drapp ::To Butterfly:: "Stand up and put your hands behind your head!"
[9:57:22 PM] * Doc does his best to see out the door "Is that lady bringing my juice yet?"
[9:57:39 PM] * Butterfly smiles at Drapp, still amused, and stands up shaking her head.
[9:57:45 PM] GM_Kagi *The two cops flanking Detective Drapp cock their shotguns and several people in the hallway now take direct notice::
[9:58:17 PM] * Vince remains calm, his hand on the table, still observing the cops
[9:58:39 PM] * Manzazzuu prepares to dive under the table, just in case.
[9:58:53 PM] * Butterfly puts her hands behind her head and looks Drapp in the eye, expectantly.
[10:00:03 PM] * Jack_Drapp holsters his gun and pulls out a pair of handcuff's
[10:00:29 PM] Doc "Is that really needed?"
[10:00:33 PM] * Butterfly looks at him with a very ammused grin.
[10:01:24 PM] Jack_Drapp "You can joke all the way to the station!" ::he says as he cuff's Butterfly's hands behind her back::
[10:02:24 PM] Butterfly "Hand cuffed in the backseat of a car. Oh baby." she says, allowing him to cuff her.
[10:02:36 PM] DC "Jack you need to relax a bit, your a nevious wreck"
[10:03:24 PM] Manzazzuu "I can recommend a good massage parlour."
[10:04:02 PM] DC "your face is twitching a bit to violently, there are a multitude of conditions that have start with involtary twitching"
[10:04:39 PM] Jack_Drapp ::His eye twitching he shoves Butterfly into the hallway outside where several other Lone Star officers take her into hand:: "We're taking her in, book her!"
[10:04:40 PM] DC "you need to sit down, and drink some water"
[10:05:21 PM] Butterfly "There are easier ways to get my number." she says sweetly to one of the offices.
[10:05:25 PM] Butterfly officers
[10:05:46 PM] Pele "I am sure you are almost finished with my SIN. right?"
[10:05:57 PM] GM_Kagi *The officers stare for a moment perplexed
[10:06:43 PM] Jack_Drapp "You waiting for your mommy to hold your hands? Now!"
[10:07:12 PM] * Butterfly flutters her eyelashes seductively at them, "Well, I'm all yours boys. Take me away."
[10:07:13 PM] GM_Kagi *The officers take hold of Butterfly and march her down the hall and out of sight
[10:08:10 PM] Doc "I need to go with her I am her Doctor she dosen't do well off her meds for too long."
[10:08:42 PM] * Doc begins to follow after Butterfly
[10:09:13 PM] Manzazzuu That eyelash fluttering made Manny frown a bit, feeling she'd already made her point.
[10:09:46 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Turns back to the team:: "Sit down, your going no where. If I even suspect any of you are sticking your noses into my case I will personally see to it Butterfly takes a nice long vacation to a 5x10 cell. Laughing now?" ::his eyelid twitches::
[10:10:16 PM] DC "you need to get that looked at!
[10:10:20 PM] DC "
[10:10:39 PM] GM_Kagi *The two officers with auto-shotguns point them at Doc to take a seat
[10:10:57 PM] * Doc sits back down
[10:11:59 PM] Jack_Drapp ::He reaches into his coat pocket and withdraws an unmarked pill bottle, shaking several into his hand he shoves them into his mouth and chews them up::
[10:12:20 PM] Pele "Going a little overboard?"
[10:12:29 PM] * Vince looks at the bottle "Wake-ups?"
[10:12:54 PM] * DC shutters
[10:13:47 PM] DC "when it says 3 times a day with food, you should really do that"
[10:14:08 PM] * Manzazzuu continues to quietly watch and wait for the officer to be done.
[10:14:18 PM] Doc "Milk helps also."
[10:14:28 PM] * DC using a bit of her medical knolegde to guess what the pills are
[10:15:40 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Sneers, pill fragments in his teeth, his eye twitching:: "Bunch of comedians. Maybe you should do stand up." ::he whirls and stomps away::
[10:15:55 PM] Vince "My mom doesn't want me out after 9."
[10:16:09 PM] * Pele gets up and goes after Jack
[10:16:09 PM] DC "I wasn't being funny"
[10:16:21 PM] Pele "Can I have my SIN back before you storm off?"
[10:17:12 PM] GM_Kagi *One of the other officers hands Pele back his SIN
[10:17:30 PM] * Manzazzuu looks suprised by this, having been sure the guy wasn't getting it back ever.
[10:17:43 PM] GM_Kagi *Then as if on cue, they turn and cover each other as they leave
[10:18:44 PM] DC with that much medication I'd be supprized if he even makes it to the station
[10:19:08 PM] * Pele turns around and sits down. "Now, anyone have a way to track her comm?"
[10:19:42 PM] * Manzazzuu gets up and closes the door again before returning to the group once the police are gone.
[10:20:43 PM] Manzazzuu "The Oyabun likely has the connections needed to get her out. I suggest we go through him in this, rather than try to directly get Butterfly out ourselves."
[10:21:43 PM] Vince "hmmm...yeah, I don't think they'll apreciate the cops being in the picture thoguh..."
[10:22:24 PM] * Vince gets up, and stretch his legs
[10:22:49 PM] Vince "That copper was stupid..he don't see the big picture."
[10:24:46 PM] Manzazzuu "Though now we have a time limit. We can't ignore the police and assume the bug threat isn't real."
[10:25:00 PM] Vince "If he gets the girl, and talk about her being a bug puppet, averybody from the cops to the mob, even the gangers will be after Yakuzas blood."
[10:26:08 PM] Doc "All I know is after I checked his aura he believes what he is sayin wheather it is true or not."
[10:26:33 PM] Vince "So there might be a bug treat after all in Seattle..."
[10:26:34 PM] Manzazzuu "Like I said. Time limit."
[10:27:01 PM] Doc "Maybe but he isn't too with it either."
[10:27:09 PM] Vince "Yeah, but how much? an hour? a day? a month?"
[10:27:48 PM] Vince "for all we know he can be on the Bianchi payroll and jsut silencing us off."
[10:28:50 PM] Manzazzuu "It doesn't matter, Vince, we don't have the time to do any checking up on it, and can't ignore the possibility."
[10:29:17 PM] Pele "What do we have time to do? Run to Oyuban? Save butterfly? Go hide?"
[10:29:36 PM] Vince "..Keep looking for the girl with the cloud of LoneStar looking at us?"
[10:30:17 PM] Vince "if we got the girl the cops can't claim her, and starts the inevitable mob war."
[10:30:31 PM] Vince "But we'll be stuck with a possible bug puppet..."
[10:31:59 PM] Vince "...and daddy will really want her daughter back..a few bullets costs less than a paycehck."
[10:32:53 PM] * Vince lights a smoke
[10:33:38 PM] Vince "Yeah, I knew the second I got into the compound..it's gonna be one drek of a job there folks..."
[10:34:03 PM] Doc "We can contine after the girl I can keep an eye on Buttercup ahh Butterfly for a few hours to see what they will do with her but where do we start at this point?"
[10:34:42 PM] Vince "With waht we have: The school and the 'Cup of Art' Cafe."
[10:36:23 PM] Pele "We need to think, though, what they might do to Butterfly or the rest of us if we persue it...."
[10:36:54 PM] Vince "They'll bust us and get rid of us."
[10:37:58 PM] Vince "We're SINless, we're in for the rough part..you're a SINner, you'll probably get treated like someone."
[10:38:14 PM] Vince "...but still get lokced up somewhere.."
[10:38:54 PM] Pele "Is one job worth being locked up for the rest of our exitences?"
[10:39:29 PM] DC "also there is the matter of making a Yakuzza boss very displeased with you"
[10:40:10 PM] Manzazzuu "The girl is already taken if what the officer said is true."
[10:41:26 PM] Pele "We knew she was taken, didn't we?"
[10:41:28 PM] DC "but giving up because some cop twiches in your diriction would not make him happy"
[10:41:55 PM] Manzazzuu "No, I mean she's already a bug."
[10:44:27 PM] Pele "Hmmm..."
[10:44:51 PM] Manzazzuu "Which means, if it's true, we either really piss off the Yaks, or we practically give Seattle to the bugs. Here's hoping the cop's off his rocker."
[10:45:03 PM] Doc "If any of this IS true he may just be nuts."
[10:45:53 PM] Manzazzuu "Any of you really good at assensing?"
[10:45:58 PM] * Pele turns to Manzazzuu
[10:46:14 PM] Pele "Can't your connections tell us the truth of this?"
[10:46:15 PM] DC "a fair bit, bit not really good"
[10:46:36 PM] Doc "I can hold my own>"
[10:46:58 PM] Manzazzuu "Then between the two of you, one of you should be able to tell us if she's a bug when we get her."
[10:49:41 PM] Manzazzuu "As to my connections, Pele, they might be able to tell us how the bug system works, but I've already got a pretty solid grounding."
[10:50:30 PM] DC "I'll keep my eye out for it, but you can't be taking Detective McTwitchy Seriously?"
[10:50:59 PM] Vince "You never know DC..they do have more ressources than us..."
[10:51:16 PM] Manzazzuu "We need to plan for the possibility, DC, just in case."
[10:51:27 PM] Vince "either he's nuts or saw something that he wasn't supposed to see..."
[10:51:38 PM] * DC chuckles
[10:51:58 PM] DC "fine, you were right on the whole 'god thing'"
[10:52:00 PM] Doc "Last I knew it took a tactical nuke. How prepared do we get?"
[10:52:05 PM] Pele "Like a god that we didn't believe existed..."
[10:52:37 PM] * Vince massaged his temples "I'm too old for this drek..."
[10:53:04 PM] Manzazzuu "For now, we hope that the infestation isn't that bad, Doc. If this job shows us it is, we get the hell out of Seattle."
[10:54:00 PM] Doc "..and as for Butterfly?"
[10:54:12 PM] Vince "Drapp said the bugs were infecting officials...We got to work with anyone with just an inch of autority in this town is one of them.."
[10:55:13 PM] Manzazzuu "For now, we contact the Yaks and tell them the Cops took her as a shakedown tactic, and we would appreciate it if they would use their resources to ensure she was released."
[10:55:39 PM] Vince "Yeah, still risky, but it's the only way to get her out fast."
[10:56:24 PM] Manzazzuu "Either way, she should likely stay away from this run. If they release her, they'll be watching her."
[10:56:54 PM] Vince "Hmm..could be a way top get the cops off our heels for a while.."
[10:58:30 PM] * Vince turns to DC "So-a you gonna call your boss now?"
[10:58:38 PM] * Pele nods
[10:59:15 PM] DC "yes I will, and he is not my boss"
[10:59:36 PM] Vince "you did work for them."
[10:59:50 PM] Vince "So that makes him waht? You part-time boss?"
[10:59:51 PM] Manzazzuu "DC, I think we should avoid using the comm."
[11:00:07 PM] Manzazzuu "Unless you have something that'll keep the police from intercepting the call."
[11:00:58 PM] DC "great I'll just go visit him"
[11:01:52 PM] Vince "I'll drive if noboady got anything to make me do."
[11:02:20 PM] DC "I'll need a ride anyways"
[11:02:34 PM] Manzazzuu "Vince, I think you should go with some of the others to the club. We still need to get on the kidnapping right away."
[11:02:37 PM] Pele "Are we still going to the school and cafe?"
[11:03:20 PM] Vince "Yeah, we still got time to go the the cafe after we meet the Yaks, we'll stop there on our way back here?..let's say for 11:30?"
[11:03:48 PM] Manzazzuu "I was hoping to save time by splitting us up, Vince."
[11:04:06 PM] Manzazzuu "We still have two vehicles."
[11:04:32 PM] Manzazzuu "And I doubt that we can come back here, so we should plan out what we can before we leave."
[11:04:45 PM] Vince "Yeah, but form the way you drove coming here, I don't want to pull you out of your wreck."
[11:05:06 PM] Manzazzuu "I will not be involved in any high speed chases, so you don't have to worry."
[11:05:28 PM] GM_Kagi (((End Session)))
The runners have have finshed their meeting with Eddie Yamaguchi and left the Yakuza compund for an upscale resteraunt where Butterfly is well known.
Sitting down for some breakfast the team begins to plan on how best to follow up on their leads to find Akihana. They hunker down in a private room that measures roughly 10x10 ft to discuss. But the team's food is intterupted by a face full of badges and combat shotguns. It seems Lone Star is on the scene.
A detective flashes his badge, over the barrel of his Rudger Super Warhawk, which contains a small encoded VR tag that confirms him as Detective Jack Drapp followed by his badge number. He is flanked on either side by two Lone Star beat cops with combat shotguns leveled at the team. More police can be seen in the hall beyond.
Local time is 8:15am.
*****End Recap*****
[8:53:39 PM] * Butterfly leans against the door, "Morning boys." she says with a smile.
[8:53:46 PM] * DC smiles
[8:54:02 PM] DC "what seems to be the matter?"
[8:55:06 PM] Jack_Drapp "Let's see everyone's hands on the table, I don't want anyone getting violent."
[8:55:29 PM] * Jack_Drapp motions with his ruger
[8:55:38 PM] * Pele raises his hands on the table, calmy and quietly
[8:56:45 PM] * DC puts her hands on the table
[8:56:51 PM] * Butterfly walks back to her seat, and puts her hands on the table. Then, looks up at the detective slightly amused, awaiting an explanation.
[8:57:17 PM] * Doc takes his hands slowly out of his pockets and shows them to Jack
[8:59:27 PM] Jack_Drapp ::only after everyone puts their hands on the table does Detective Drapp move. He then raises his gun and points it at the ceiling at ease:: "Now that's better. I feel so much safer..."
[9:00:57 PM] Jack_Drapp "Now word is that you SINless scum have been hired by a Mister Eddie Yamaguchi ."
[9:02:16 PM] * Butterfly waits patiently to hear what he really knows before responding.
[9:02:43 PM] Pele "You are mistaken. I have a SIN."
[9:03:09 PM] Jack_Drapp ::He glances at Butterfly:: "Your communications are completely uncoded...." ::he trails off as Pele speaks up::
[9:03:45 PM] * Manzazzuu places his hands on the table, watches, and listens to the goings on.
[9:04:05 PM] Jack_Drapp "Oh do you then. Well let's see it then my friend." ::he smiles like a cat staring down a mouse::
[9:04:25 PM] Butterfly "Of course they are. Everyone's gonna see my displays anyway."
[9:05:24 PM] * Pele show Jack his sin
[9:07:01 PM] * Jack_Drapp reaches across the table and takes card from Pele and hands it back to one of the officers not aiming a combat shotgun
[9:08:30 PM] Jack_Drapp ::he returns his attention to the group:: "So, as I was saying. We know everything."
[9:09:43 PM] Butterfly "Look, we're not giving you the invitation lists, if that's what you're looking for. We don't even have them."
[9:09:48 PM] * DC looks a bit more relaxed
[9:11:55 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Frowns at Butterfly:: "I'm told that breaking your comm. open and scanning it was like stealing candy from a baby Butterfly. We've read everything you have saved on it and we've been monitoring your communications all morning."
[9:12:29 PM] Jack_Drapp "We know all about Akihana."
[9:15:40 PM] Butterfly "Well, ya. He gave us her bio so we could get an idea of what she's into. If you have that you know as much as I do."
[9:16:03 PM] GM_Kagi ::Tugs on his leathers gloves a bit as he talks:: "I've been looking for a break like this for years, and I'm not going to let some street scum come blundering their way into this case and fragging it up!"
[9:16:57 PM] * Butterfly can't quite hold back laughing at his assumptions of compidence.
[9:17:19 PM] * DC switches over to astral just in case
[9:19:35 PM] * Vince , his hands on the table listens to Dick Drapp, watching him and his goons in uniforms.
[9:20:55 PM] * Manzazzuu continues to watch, and to listen, as he waits to see how much further this will develop. Nothing has gone so far that he feels he needs to intercede yet.
[9:21:27 PM] Jack_Drapp "The Star is of course interested in stopping a gang war between the yakuza and the mafia. Not have a bunch of misfits like yourselves screw things up."
[9:22:21 PM] * Vince slightly smile
[9:22:25 PM] Butterfly "This is way more than any of us need or want to know."
[9:22:47 PM] Pele "Done with my card yet?"
[9:24:05 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Frowns again:: "You all think this is a big joke? I could take the lot of you in right now, I doubt very much that anyone of your SINs will stand up to a thorough looking at."
[9:24:51 PM] Jack_Drapp "I could bust you on half a dozen things right now..." ::he grins:: "I'm even considering making up some drek."
[9:24:55 PM] Butterfly "Listen. We can't give you what you want, cause you haven't told us what it is."
[9:25:23 PM] Butterfly "You're *acting* like a big joke. Get used to people laughing at you if you won't be serious."
[9:27:53 PM] Butterfly "If you want something you have to ask for it. All these threats just make you look self-contious."
[9:30:55 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Sneers, but his right eye lid begins to twitch:: "Oh ha ha, laughing are you? You think this is all about a little girl. But your wrong!"
[9:31:15 PM] Jack_Drapp "This is about bugs."
[9:31:19 PM] * Vince wonders why Butterfly is in such a state at a cop just doing his job.
[9:32:04 PM] * DC sighs
[9:32:12 PM] Butterfly "Which is why they want fireworks, of course." she says sarcastically.
[9:32:36 PM] Vince "Watch it Drapp, this ain't somethin' you joke about."
[9:34:01 PM] Pele "Bugs?"
[9:34:11 PM] Pele "Very indescript word..."
[9:34:22 PM] Jack_Drapp "Bug spirits."
[9:34:45 PM] * Vince is shocked
[9:35:01 PM] Jack_Drapp "The nasty kind" ::sneers again, and again his eyelid twitches in some sort of nervous gesture::
[9:35:06 PM] Pele "Gang wars and bug spirits? I fail to see the connection."
[9:35:16 PM] Vince "Wait wait..bugs spirits? Who the hell want to bring bugs again? Didn't they got it with Chicago?"
[9:35:16 PM] Manzazzuu "I thought those were all taken care of." He says in a calm, quiet tone.
[9:37:49 PM] Jack_Drapp ::says in an arrogant manner:: "Exactly what I'm talking about. You know nothing. Chicago is clear, well mostly. But the bug shamans didn't just give up and die. Atzlan has them all over the jungles. Their underground right here in Seattle!"
[9:38:16 PM] Vince "Frag..just..wha..frag..FRAG!"
[9:38:21 PM] Jack_Drapp "And they are very pissed off."
[9:38:42 PM] Butterfly "That sucks and all, but what does it have to do with us?"
[9:39:11 PM] Jack_Drapp "Infiltration is the name of the game children." ::he sneers again and tug at his leather gloves::
[9:39:32 PM] Vince "Infiltrating who?"
[9:39:56 PM] Butterfly "Us apparently."
[9:40:23 PM] Jack_Drapp "Don't you see? I mean how simple can it be." ::he seems to be getting worked up emotionally::
[9:40:34 PM] DC "he is off his rocker" DC says in Japanese in a exauhsted tone
[9:40:52 PM] Jack_Drapp "Their infecting key officials within Seattle."
[9:40:59 PM] Butterfly "All the cake at that party is sure to atract them, right? And you want to be on our staff!"
[9:41:01 PM] Vince "Who?"
[9:41:12 PM] * Butterfly says with mock enthusiasm.
[9:42:46 PM] Jack_Drapp ::He indicates with his hands:: "They've stolen Akihana and are infecting her. They'll send her back alright, but as one of theirs. A bug. She is the key to her father the Oyabun. They want control of organized crime."
[9:43:15 PM] Vince "and what tells us they don't already control, oh I dunno-a..LoneStar?"
[9:43:36 PM] * Butterfly giggles at Vince's comment.
[9:44:08 PM] Jack_Drapp ::his face is a mask of stone except his twitching eyelid::
[9:44:41 PM] Jack_Drapp "Okay, you want to play me for a fool, huh?"
[9:44:57 PM] Vince "ain't sayin you are, but the brass might be..."
[9:45:08 PM] * Butterfly laughs again Drapp's wording.
[9:45:26 PM] * Vince motions to one of the beat cops with his head "Or that guy for all I know..."
[9:46:22 PM] Vince "They are the secretive kind of SOBs you don't wanna cross in a dark alley at night."
[9:46:45 PM] * Butterfly looks at Vince, "Actually that makes a lot of sense. That would explain why they're in here bothering us instead of doing something about the problem." she says in absolute seriousness.
[9:47:26 PM] Jack_Drapp ::tugs on his gloves again, the right side of his face twitching now:: "Very funny. Well see if you think this is funny. I want the lot of you to leave Akihana to me. Your off this 'job'. I don't want to hear your anywhere near any of this."l
[9:48:08 PM] * Vince snarls
[9:49:24 PM] Vince "You might be "the drek" in Aurora Village, but you don't know squat in Organised crime..if the Star grabs her up, they'll blame the Mafia for the delivery and the gang war will be inevitable."
[9:50:15 PM] Butterfly "Vince. He's pumping you for info and it's working. If he had any power over us he would do something more than talk."
[9:50:48 PM] Butterfly "Detective, we hear you. Good luck with whatever it is you're doing. Will you please let the waitress bring me my breakfast, now?"
[9:50:52 PM] * Vince raises his shoulders "I haven't said anything about wahtever job and girl he's talking about."
[9:52:19 PM] Butterfly "You're getting upset and letting your mouth go, though. We'll never get hired to host another party for this guy if you end up giving out private info about it."
[9:52:35 PM] Vince "What private info?"
[9:52:45 PM] * Vince seems confused
[9:52:59 PM] Vince "What are you doing in my house? Get out before I call the cops!"
[9:53:07 PM] Butterfly "Whatever it is they really want from us."
[9:53:27 PM] * Butterfly laughs some more.
[9:53:44 PM] Manzazzuu "He's probably looking to get a free party for his little girl, Butterfly."
[9:54:00 PM] * Pele sits in complete quiteness
[9:54:43 PM] Butterfly "That could be. I don't agree to many children's parties. He probably can't afford our normal rates."
[9:54:47 PM] * Vince gave out a sly smile
[9:56:26 PM] Jack_Drapp ::The right side of his face is twitching now and he is clinching and opening his left hand rapidly. He slowly brings his gun to aim directly at Butterfly:: "Oh you want to laugh, they all laughed at me. They laughed right up until Chicago exploded."
[9:56:56 PM] Jack_Drapp ::To Butterfly:: "Stand up and put your hands behind your head!"
[9:57:22 PM] * Doc does his best to see out the door "Is that lady bringing my juice yet?"
[9:57:39 PM] * Butterfly smiles at Drapp, still amused, and stands up shaking her head.
[9:57:45 PM] GM_Kagi *The two cops flanking Detective Drapp cock their shotguns and several people in the hallway now take direct notice::
[9:58:17 PM] * Vince remains calm, his hand on the table, still observing the cops
[9:58:39 PM] * Manzazzuu prepares to dive under the table, just in case.
[9:58:53 PM] * Butterfly puts her hands behind her head and looks Drapp in the eye, expectantly.
[10:00:03 PM] * Jack_Drapp holsters his gun and pulls out a pair of handcuff's
[10:00:29 PM] Doc "Is that really needed?"
[10:00:33 PM] * Butterfly looks at him with a very ammused grin.
[10:01:24 PM] Jack_Drapp "You can joke all the way to the station!" ::he says as he cuff's Butterfly's hands behind her back::
[10:02:24 PM] Butterfly "Hand cuffed in the backseat of a car. Oh baby." she says, allowing him to cuff her.
[10:02:36 PM] DC "Jack you need to relax a bit, your a nevious wreck"
[10:03:24 PM] Manzazzuu "I can recommend a good massage parlour."
[10:04:02 PM] DC "your face is twitching a bit to violently, there are a multitude of conditions that have start with involtary twitching"
[10:04:39 PM] Jack_Drapp ::His eye twitching he shoves Butterfly into the hallway outside where several other Lone Star officers take her into hand:: "We're taking her in, book her!"
[10:04:40 PM] DC "you need to sit down, and drink some water"
[10:05:21 PM] Butterfly "There are easier ways to get my number." she says sweetly to one of the offices.
[10:05:25 PM] Butterfly officers
[10:05:46 PM] Pele "I am sure you are almost finished with my SIN. right?"
[10:05:57 PM] GM_Kagi *The officers stare for a moment perplexed
[10:06:43 PM] Jack_Drapp "You waiting for your mommy to hold your hands? Now!"
[10:07:12 PM] * Butterfly flutters her eyelashes seductively at them, "Well, I'm all yours boys. Take me away."
[10:07:13 PM] GM_Kagi *The officers take hold of Butterfly and march her down the hall and out of sight
[10:08:10 PM] Doc "I need to go with her I am her Doctor she dosen't do well off her meds for too long."
[10:08:42 PM] * Doc begins to follow after Butterfly
[10:09:13 PM] Manzazzuu That eyelash fluttering made Manny frown a bit, feeling she'd already made her point.
[10:09:46 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Turns back to the team:: "Sit down, your going no where. If I even suspect any of you are sticking your noses into my case I will personally see to it Butterfly takes a nice long vacation to a 5x10 cell. Laughing now?" ::his eyelid twitches::
[10:10:16 PM] DC "you need to get that looked at!
[10:10:20 PM] DC "
[10:10:39 PM] GM_Kagi *The two officers with auto-shotguns point them at Doc to take a seat
[10:10:57 PM] * Doc sits back down
[10:11:59 PM] Jack_Drapp ::He reaches into his coat pocket and withdraws an unmarked pill bottle, shaking several into his hand he shoves them into his mouth and chews them up::
[10:12:20 PM] Pele "Going a little overboard?"
[10:12:29 PM] * Vince looks at the bottle "Wake-ups?"
[10:12:54 PM] * DC shutters
[10:13:47 PM] DC "when it says 3 times a day with food, you should really do that"
[10:14:08 PM] * Manzazzuu continues to quietly watch and wait for the officer to be done.
[10:14:18 PM] Doc "Milk helps also."
[10:14:28 PM] * DC using a bit of her medical knolegde to guess what the pills are
[10:15:40 PM] Jack_Drapp ::Sneers, pill fragments in his teeth, his eye twitching:: "Bunch of comedians. Maybe you should do stand up." ::he whirls and stomps away::
[10:15:55 PM] Vince "My mom doesn't want me out after 9."
[10:16:09 PM] * Pele gets up and goes after Jack
[10:16:09 PM] DC "I wasn't being funny"
[10:16:21 PM] Pele "Can I have my SIN back before you storm off?"
[10:17:12 PM] GM_Kagi *One of the other officers hands Pele back his SIN
[10:17:30 PM] * Manzazzuu looks suprised by this, having been sure the guy wasn't getting it back ever.
[10:17:43 PM] GM_Kagi *Then as if on cue, they turn and cover each other as they leave
[10:18:44 PM] DC with that much medication I'd be supprized if he even makes it to the station
[10:19:08 PM] * Pele turns around and sits down. "Now, anyone have a way to track her comm?"
[10:19:42 PM] * Manzazzuu gets up and closes the door again before returning to the group once the police are gone.
[10:20:43 PM] Manzazzuu "The Oyabun likely has the connections needed to get her out. I suggest we go through him in this, rather than try to directly get Butterfly out ourselves."
[10:21:43 PM] Vince "hmmm...yeah, I don't think they'll apreciate the cops being in the picture thoguh..."
[10:22:24 PM] * Vince gets up, and stretch his legs
[10:22:49 PM] Vince "That copper was stupid..he don't see the big picture."
[10:24:46 PM] Manzazzuu "Though now we have a time limit. We can't ignore the police and assume the bug threat isn't real."
[10:25:00 PM] Vince "If he gets the girl, and talk about her being a bug puppet, averybody from the cops to the mob, even the gangers will be after Yakuzas blood."
[10:26:08 PM] Doc "All I know is after I checked his aura he believes what he is sayin wheather it is true or not."
[10:26:33 PM] Vince "So there might be a bug treat after all in Seattle..."
[10:26:34 PM] Manzazzuu "Like I said. Time limit."
[10:27:01 PM] Doc "Maybe but he isn't too with it either."
[10:27:09 PM] Vince "Yeah, but how much? an hour? a day? a month?"
[10:27:48 PM] Vince "for all we know he can be on the Bianchi payroll and jsut silencing us off."
[10:28:50 PM] Manzazzuu "It doesn't matter, Vince, we don't have the time to do any checking up on it, and can't ignore the possibility."
[10:29:17 PM] Pele "What do we have time to do? Run to Oyuban? Save butterfly? Go hide?"
[10:29:36 PM] Vince "..Keep looking for the girl with the cloud of LoneStar looking at us?"
[10:30:17 PM] Vince "if we got the girl the cops can't claim her, and starts the inevitable mob war."
[10:30:31 PM] Vince "But we'll be stuck with a possible bug puppet..."
[10:31:59 PM] Vince "...and daddy will really want her daughter back..a few bullets costs less than a paycehck."
[10:32:53 PM] * Vince lights a smoke
[10:33:38 PM] Vince "Yeah, I knew the second I got into the compound..it's gonna be one drek of a job there folks..."
[10:34:03 PM] Doc "We can contine after the girl I can keep an eye on Buttercup ahh Butterfly for a few hours to see what they will do with her but where do we start at this point?"
[10:34:42 PM] Vince "With waht we have: The school and the 'Cup of Art' Cafe."
[10:36:23 PM] Pele "We need to think, though, what they might do to Butterfly or the rest of us if we persue it...."
[10:36:54 PM] Vince "They'll bust us and get rid of us."
[10:37:58 PM] Vince "We're SINless, we're in for the rough part..you're a SINner, you'll probably get treated like someone."
[10:38:14 PM] Vince "...but still get lokced up somewhere.."
[10:38:54 PM] Pele "Is one job worth being locked up for the rest of our exitences?"
[10:39:29 PM] DC "also there is the matter of making a Yakuzza boss very displeased with you"
[10:40:10 PM] Manzazzuu "The girl is already taken if what the officer said is true."
[10:41:26 PM] Pele "We knew she was taken, didn't we?"
[10:41:28 PM] DC "but giving up because some cop twiches in your diriction would not make him happy"
[10:41:55 PM] Manzazzuu "No, I mean she's already a bug."
[10:44:27 PM] Pele "Hmmm..."
[10:44:51 PM] Manzazzuu "Which means, if it's true, we either really piss off the Yaks, or we practically give Seattle to the bugs. Here's hoping the cop's off his rocker."
[10:45:03 PM] Doc "If any of this IS true he may just be nuts."
[10:45:53 PM] Manzazzuu "Any of you really good at assensing?"
[10:45:58 PM] * Pele turns to Manzazzuu
[10:46:14 PM] Pele "Can't your connections tell us the truth of this?"
[10:46:15 PM] DC "a fair bit, bit not really good"
[10:46:36 PM] Doc "I can hold my own>"
[10:46:58 PM] Manzazzuu "Then between the two of you, one of you should be able to tell us if she's a bug when we get her."
[10:49:41 PM] Manzazzuu "As to my connections, Pele, they might be able to tell us how the bug system works, but I've already got a pretty solid grounding."
[10:50:30 PM] DC "I'll keep my eye out for it, but you can't be taking Detective McTwitchy Seriously?"
[10:50:59 PM] Vince "You never know DC..they do have more ressources than us..."
[10:51:16 PM] Manzazzuu "We need to plan for the possibility, DC, just in case."
[10:51:27 PM] Vince "either he's nuts or saw something that he wasn't supposed to see..."
[10:51:38 PM] * DC chuckles
[10:51:58 PM] DC "fine, you were right on the whole 'god thing'"
[10:52:00 PM] Doc "Last I knew it took a tactical nuke. How prepared do we get?"
[10:52:05 PM] Pele "Like a god that we didn't believe existed..."
[10:52:37 PM] * Vince massaged his temples "I'm too old for this drek..."
[10:53:04 PM] Manzazzuu "For now, we hope that the infestation isn't that bad, Doc. If this job shows us it is, we get the hell out of Seattle."
[10:54:00 PM] Doc "..and as for Butterfly?"
[10:54:12 PM] Vince "Drapp said the bugs were infecting officials...We got to work with anyone with just an inch of autority in this town is one of them.."
[10:55:13 PM] Manzazzuu "For now, we contact the Yaks and tell them the Cops took her as a shakedown tactic, and we would appreciate it if they would use their resources to ensure she was released."
[10:55:39 PM] Vince "Yeah, still risky, but it's the only way to get her out fast."
[10:56:24 PM] Manzazzuu "Either way, she should likely stay away from this run. If they release her, they'll be watching her."
[10:56:54 PM] Vince "Hmm..could be a way top get the cops off our heels for a while.."
[10:58:30 PM] * Vince turns to DC "So-a you gonna call your boss now?"
[10:58:38 PM] * Pele nods
[10:59:15 PM] DC "yes I will, and he is not my boss"
[10:59:36 PM] Vince "you did work for them."
[10:59:50 PM] Vince "So that makes him waht? You part-time boss?"
[10:59:51 PM] Manzazzuu "DC, I think we should avoid using the comm."
[11:00:07 PM] Manzazzuu "Unless you have something that'll keep the police from intercepting the call."
[11:00:58 PM] DC "great I'll just go visit him"
[11:01:52 PM] Vince "I'll drive if noboady got anything to make me do."
[11:02:20 PM] DC "I'll need a ride anyways"
[11:02:34 PM] Manzazzuu "Vince, I think you should go with some of the others to the club. We still need to get on the kidnapping right away."
[11:02:37 PM] Pele "Are we still going to the school and cafe?"
[11:03:20 PM] Vince "Yeah, we still got time to go the the cafe after we meet the Yaks, we'll stop there on our way back here?..let's say for 11:30?"
[11:03:48 PM] Manzazzuu "I was hoping to save time by splitting us up, Vince."
[11:04:06 PM] Manzazzuu "We still have two vehicles."
[11:04:32 PM] Manzazzuu "And I doubt that we can come back here, so we should plan out what we can before we leave."
[11:04:45 PM] Vince "Yeah, but form the way you drove coming here, I don't want to pull you out of your wreck."
[11:05:06 PM] Manzazzuu "I will not be involved in any high speed chases, so you don't have to worry."
[11:05:28 PM] GM_Kagi (((End Session)))
