*****Recap of Last Session*****
The team has defeated the asian hit team, but at a cost. Even after magical healing Vince and Doc are still wounded. DC is worst off; due to extensive spell use she is unconcious and seems to have been wounded more than the others.
But the shoot out in Bellevue has drawn unwanted attention from Lone Star and the team has been forced to make a run for it. Manzazzuu is seperated from the others and pulled over by Lone Star officials. With some fast talk and a little cred, he and Naroko have escaped arrest. The rest of the team on the run from a Lone Star rotodrone have escaped it with some help from the newest member of the team, Oscar.
Circling back around, to avoid any further Lone Star cruisers, and regrouping just over the boarder in the Redmond sprawl. The team has regrouped in a parking lot in the shadow of an old abandoned and half destroyed office building.
Seattle's weather has turned nasty and a torrent of rain is falling from the dark grey sky above. Even here on the edge of Redmond the pungent smells of poverty are only slightly dampened by the rain. The team is late for their appointment from 1-4pm this afternoon at the private school Akihana attended. Though priorities may have changed since they made the appointment. Local time is 1:40 pm.
*****End Recap*****
[9:33:51 PM] Vince "Stupid goddammed Pacific Northwest."
[9:36:15 PM] Oscar "See i told ya that id have your backs when it counted."
[9:36:38 PM] Vince "Yeah just hope we don't get blamed if poeple were killed in that blast."
[9:36:53 PM] Oscar "
[9:37:19 PM] Oscar "Us blamed, i think not cause it was a Lone Star drone that did the damage."
[9:37:36 PM] Vince "A drone that got hacked?"
[9:38:21 PM] Oscar "With the drone destroyed i dont think they have any evidence."
[9:38:43 PM] Vince "Yeah, maybe just a dumpstocked copper with-a recording."
[9:39:46 PM] Manzazzuu "So I have a question for everyone. How'd those jokers know where we were?" He asks, raising an eyebrow at the group in general, looking for theories.
[9:40:09 PM] * Vince thinks about it for a second "Hmm.."
[9:40:48 PM] Manzazzuu "'Cause that was an ambush if I've ever seen one."
[9:41:39 PM] Oscar "If they were smart, which i doubt they are, then it wouldnt have crashed into that building, cause the suvivors of the accident will see a crashed LS drone."
[9:41:46 PM] Vince "Wait there was a drone flying high when we were at Akimana
[9:42:04 PM] Vince "I bet it was theirs."
[9:42:12 PM] Oscar "Yeah i remember that now."
[9:42:20 PM] * Doc "Think we were being followed?"
[9:42:32 PM] Oscar "No doubt."
[9:43:30 PM] * Vince starts feeling a little funny and then passes a hand on his wound "Say guys, anyone's good enought to get me back full healt?"
[9:44:37 PM] Manzazzuu "Magic can only work on a set of wounds once, Vince. But now that you mention it, I could use a refresher myself. DC been healed yet?" He asks, glancing over in DC's direction.
[9:45:24 PM] Vince "She's been knockout good, she might need a little more time."
[9:47:45 PM] Manzazzuu "Alright, I'll take care of myself, and then her. You guys think about how we're going to find those guys' lair. I've got twenty yen says they're the ones who've got what we're after." With that Manny moves off to a corner, and begins a mumbling chant. His hands pass slowly over his body's energy chakras, and soon begin to glow with a healthy looking light.
[9:47:45 PM] GM_Kagi *A low groan comes from behind the last seat in the Van
[9:48:38 PM] Vince "No drek sherlock, what was I saying form teh start..It's either internet, the rings or some time-off form the Yaks.."
[9:48:40 PM] Oscar "Hey vince im gonna keep this drone here, it might come in handy if i can ever find time to fix it."
[9:49:12 PM] Vince "Yeah sure Os.." He noticed a sound "Drek that guy's waking up!"
[9:49:48 PM] *** Clone is now known as Asian
[9:50:18 PM] * Vince puts his hand on his gun and approach the man "Don't you fraggin' move drek!"
[9:52:12 PM] Manzazzuu Manny puts his hands over his head and the pain stops, along with the glow in his hands. Then he moves over to DC, and looks her over to see how bad her physical wounds are. "You take care of that guy, I'll take care of DC." He says to the group in general.
[9:53:13 PM] Asian ::Mutters something unintelligable and stirs, but doesn't open his eyes::
[9:53:35 PM] * Oscar pulls out a pair of plasteel restraints and slaps them on our captive.
[9:53:59 PM] * Vince grins as Oscar cuffs the man, then he gaps the man and trow him out of his van
[9:55:13 PM] Asian ::wakes up a bit and his eyes flutter open as the restraints click shut on his wrists, he begins screaming as the large ork pulls him out of the van and onto the plstecrete ground::
[9:55:47 PM] * Vince slowly attatch his silencer to his Manhunter, looking and smiling at the man "Now you leave here alive or get eeaten by the ghould, you choice."
[9:57:22 PM] Asian ::His eyes dart back and forth as he quickly takes in his situation.::
[9:58:12 PM] Asian ::In Chinese:: "Please don't kill me, please. I have a family!"
[9:58:34 PM] Vince "No drek, so does I, we have soo much things in common....Don't make me kill you TALK!"
[9:58:56 PM] * Vince waves his guns in the asian's direction
[9:59:52 PM] * Oscar searches our prisoner for any kind of key cards.
[10:00:11 PM] * Vince waves his guns in the asian's direction "Here UCAS! you talky engelish now, or me make flied meat with you!"
[10:01:03 PM] Oscar ::oscar turns to the rest of the group and says:: "Anybody know what this guy is saying?"
[10:01:17 PM] Vince "Telling us not to kill him."
[10:01:28 PM] Asian ::In heavily accented english/city speak, now:: "Please, do not kill me. I have a family."
[10:01:54 PM] Vince "Me too. Now talk or you never see them. Who are you working for?"
[10:02:08 PM] Oscar ::to prisoner:: "Who you work for?"
[10:04:27 PM] Asian ::A look of total terror mars his face:: "I have a family, please! They will kill them!"
[10:04:35 PM] * Oscar finds some pictures of all of us and our vehicles, and an address on some paper during his search
[10:04:59 PM] Oscar "Im gonna do a quick search on this address i just found"
[10:04:59 PM] Vince "Well, talk and maybe you can stop them, don't talk and you die now, and them soon..make your choice."
[10:05:16 PM] * Vince takes the pictures from Oscar and looks at them.
[10:05:20 PM] Manzazzuu Manzazzuu prepares himself by taking a few slow, deep breaths, falling into a deeply concentrated state. He lays DC out flat in front of him, on his knees beside her. His fingers gently touch each of her body's chakras in sequence, and then he draws lines between them as he mumbles the phrases to the spell.
[10:05:22 PM] Manzazzuu Each time he traces a line, he moves more quickly, building greater and greater energy in his hands. Before he is done, they virtually glow brightly enough to light the whole room. He places one hand over DC's forehead, and the other along her stomach just below her belly button. The healing energy flows into her body.
[10:05:25 PM] Vince "You little frag...."
[10:06:21 PM] * Vince pistol whips the asian
[10:09:09 PM] * DC grogily puts a hand to her head and growns
[10:10:02 PM] Manzazzuu "I am glad you could rejoin us." He tells her with a soft smile. "You should try not to tax yourself so much." He advises, offering her a hand to help her sit up.
[10:10:12 PM] GM_Kagi * The man screams and tries to move his head to soften the blow, but Vince opens a gash on his head and his eyes flutter back into his head and he collapses in a heap on the plastecrete
[10:10:55 PM] * Vince grabas the man and brings him to his feet "Now talk or family goes bye-bye."
[10:11:07 PM] * Vince sticks his gun under the man's chin.
[10:11:11 PM] DC "the spirits hate when I work for the Yakuza"
[10:13:05 PM] Manzazzuu "You look like you could use a little longer to clear your head." He says, noticing the telltale signs of drain.
[10:13:10 PM] DC "oh, he is up as well"
[10:13:54 PM] * Vince shakes the guy a little "Drek, anybody got some stim patches?"
[10:14:50 PM] Doc "Vince put the man down you are gonna break him."
[10:15:03 PM] Manzazzuu He glances over at Vince, and sighs. Standing up, he walks over. "Doc, come here, and tell me if some healing would revive this man or not. I don't know much about healing beyond the use of magic."
[10:15:22 PM] Vince "A couple of stims would do the trick, trust me it'll work."
[10:23:34 PM] Doc "Ya he will live."
[10:24:08 PM] Vince "Good, so just stim patch him and I can continue."
[10:30:18 PM] Oscar "Well from what iv found out so far about that address i found on this guy, its for a wherehouse in the docks area of Tahoma, but im still searching for who the owner/occupent of it is."
[10:30:48 PM] Vince "Try cross-checking it with Seattle Fish Factory."
[10:31:25 PM] Oscar "but didnt you say that those guys spoke Japanese?"
[10:32:04 PM] Vince "...yeah, guess that drek's a triad memeber..drek, talk about a threesome of families.."
[10:34:14 PM] Oscar "Wouldnt hurt though" ::Oscar adds the Seattle Fish Factory to his info gathering/cross-referencing::
[10:34:26 PM] Oscar ::for his sprite::
[10:34:37 PM] GM_Kagi *Oscar's Commlink begins ringing to indicate an incomming call.
[10:34:52 PM] Oscar *Hello?*
[10:34:52 PM] * Doc from along the side of the van makes a few obscure gestures towards the asain and an opaque shimmer flows over the man and disappears. Right after Docs nose begins to bleed.
[10:35:44 PM] GM_Kagi *The face of Eddie Yamaguchi pops up in the corner of your AR display as the call connects
[10:36:09 PM] GM_Kagi "You are late for your appointment. Report."
[10:37:22 PM] Manzazzuu "Doc, are you alright?" He asks, moving over to the man, and putting a hand on his shoulder. "You shouldn't have done that. I'm still fresh, you're not. Here, lemme try and fix you up?" Manny offers.
[10:38:12 PM] Oscar *Mr. Yamaguchi san, were waylaied by some kind of hit squad, and have one of our attackers captured, but i dont speak chinese.*
[10:38:18 PM] Vince "doc, you beeter NOT have wasted your strenght on him..if you didn't wanted to wast a 50 nuyen stim patch i would have paied it for you."
[10:38:35 PM] Oscar *we were
[10:39:41 PM] GM_Kagi *Everyone outside their vehicles is now soaked with rain. As it continues to pour down a light fog is now building up as well.
[10:40:39 PM] * DC is resting in the van
[10:40:48 PM] Doc "I am ok just gonna sit here for a few and catch my breath. If you need a patch there are a few in my bag over there."
[10:40:55 PM] Oscar "Hey we need to get moving to our apointment cause Mr. Yamaguchi is on my commlink right now asking why we have missed our apointment."
[10:41:33 PM] * Vince drops the man and walks to Doc "Doc, what the hell did you do? nothing happened!"
[10:42:05 PM] * Oscar gets back into the van
[10:42:09 PM] Eddie ::He looks disappointed:: "Yes you are on the police band. You are drawing unwanted attention to yourselves and in turn to us. This will make it very difficult to extract Butterfly."
[10:43:00 PM] Eddie "How is the search coming for our package?"
[10:43:29 PM] Doc "I was just seeing if our friend here was lieing but he is out so I am gonna rest."
[10:43:36 PM] * Oscar mutes his commlink only for a moment
[10:43:49 PM] Vince "Yeah you do that..you got stim patches?"
[10:44:00 PM] Oscar "So what do we know about his daughter?"
[10:44:18 PM] Vince "She'll be home soon, tell him that."
[10:44:28 PM] Vince "We're working on it."
[10:44:29 PM] Doc "Ya they are in my bag over ther." /me points towards the corner of the van
[10:44:51 PM] * Vince gets in teh van and opens Doc's bag, taking out 2 stim patches.
[10:45:24 PM] Oscar ::Oscar unmutes his commlink::: *She will be home soon, Mr. Yamaguchi san.*
[10:45:27 PM] * Vince then gets out and stim patch the asian man.
[10:45:38 PM] Manzazzuu "Doc, let me heal you before you rest." Manny says, looking at the man. "You likely reopened your wounds with that last spell."
[10:46:27 PM] Doc "I would appreciate that thank you."
[10:47:22 PM] Eddie ::His brows knit in frustration:: "I was hoping for more detail. Who took her, and why? Who are these men trying to kill you?"
[10:47:55 PM] Manzazzuu He nods, and starts moving his hands over Doc's body like he had with DC. -Thinking- Doc wasn't likely as bad off as she had been, he doesn't let the energy build quite as long into his hands before pressing them in place over Doc's forehead and stomach to let the healing do its work.
[10:49:46 PM] Oscar *I have found an address on our attacker for a wherehouse in Tahoma and am searching for who ownes it* ::oscar transfers the address of the wherehouse to Eddie:: *and as for who took her we believe that our attackers have something to do with it other wise they would not be trying to stop us*
[10:54:25 PM] Eddie "I want a full report once you have arrived at this address in Tacoma. I want to know who our package is with and why they took her. I will expect a call as soon as possible. Go now, Mr. Toyama is waiting."
[10:57:43 PM] Oscar *Yes sir, i will contact you when we have found out the answers to your questions.*
[10:58:28 PM] GM_Kagi *As the Patches begin to take effect the Asian man jerks several times and small bit of froth foams from his mouth. He sits bolt awake, his eyes darting back and forth
[10:58:59 PM] Eddie ::Nods and the call is disconnected::
[10:59:08 PM] Manzazzuu "Maybe I should question him, Vince?" Manny suggests, when the man jerks awake. Manzazzuu starts walking over.
[10:59:20 PM] Vince "NO, it's ok i got this one covered."
[10:59:40 PM] Manzazzuu "You knocked him out last time you tried it your way."
[10:59:47 PM] * Vince grabs the man puts him back on his feet "Welcome back! How was your nap?"
[11:00:06 PM] * Vince exteneds the pictures to Manzazzuu "I had a good reason"
[11:00:08 PM] Asian_Man ::he wimppers and cringes away from Vince, quietly speaking in accented english:: "Please, please, please..."
[11:00:37 PM] * Vince grabs his by the amr, squezzing it "Now now, you wanna go away? Talk. Who are you working with?"
[11:00:43 PM] * Oscar steps out of the van.
[11:01:17 PM] Oscar "We will not hurt you again if you tell us who you work for and why you were trying to kill us?"
[11:01:52 PM] Vince "yeah like he said."
[11:04:44 PM] Vince "Now...why don't you answer our quesiton, so we can both go on our respective way?"
[11:05:31 PM] * Doc texts to the group [does anyone know the name "Seoulpa" as in a ring leader person?]
[11:05:43 PM] Asian_Man "Please, please, please, they will kill my children!"
[11:06:12 PM] Vince "Well, talk and you can still make it to your house and save them! Now out with what we want!"
[11:08:25 PM] Oscar "Ok, Mr. Ching if you dont tell me now I will kill your children myself."
[11:10:29 PM] Oscar "Hey Vince i have this guys name, his address, his ltg number, and all sorts of other goodies."
[11:11:37 PM] Vince "Really? Then what arer we waiting for, let's go meet the family he loves so much!"
[11:12:05 PM] Oscar "Yes lets take Mr. Ching here for a ride."
[11:12:41 PM] Vince "Yeah so he can see the look on his children's face when we slowly cut them to ribbons.."
[11:12:42 PM] Asian_Man ::A large wet spot spreads in his crotch as he pees himself facing Vince:: "Oh God, please! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I only know the address to go to collect and a name. Mr. Cho. Please, my children; they are innocent!"
[11:13:02 PM] Vince "Collect what and who's that Cho frag?"
[11:13:24 PM] Oscar "Why were you trying to kill us?"
[11:13:45 PM] Asian_Man "I came from china, an associate of Mr. Cho brought us here, but I must work for him or he will kill my children!, Please!"
[11:14:11 PM] Vince "Answer our questions! Collect what?!"
[11:14:41 PM] Asian_Man "I'm not a bad man, but I must do what the Seoulpa rings demand. I work in a factory for god sake!"
[11:14:49 PM] Asian_Man "My Nuyen."
[11:15:09 PM] Oscar "For doing what?"
[11:15:35 PM] * Vince smiles at the man "Fraggin' Rings I knew you were mixed into this.."
[11:17:26 PM] Oscar "I shall ask you one more time befor i get mad, WHY WERE YOU TRING TO KILL US?"
[11:17:38 PM] * Vince sticks his gun under the man's chin "Answer the question."
[11:21:34 PM] Asian_Man ::His eyes squeeze shut and tears begin to roll down:: "I do what the Seoulpa rings demand! They told me to kill you, I obey or they kill me and my family. They pay me for doing the jobs for them, but hardly anything. I work like a slave for them. Please, please, I just want to go home to my children!"
[11:22:09 PM] Vince "Right..one last thing..who's that Mr. Cho?"
[11:23:20 PM] Asian_Man "Mr. Cho is the head of our ring. He is in charge of it all. He may not make the call, but he makes someone call. He is in charge, I only do what he tells me to do."
[11:24:07 PM] Vince "What does he look like?"
[11:28:51 PM] Asian_Man ::His lower lip quivers:: "He's Korean...uh, black hair, I don't know. What do you want me to say?"
[11:29:18 PM] Vince "Tell me who took th pictures you had."
[11:29:52 PM] Oscar "Is this Mr. Cho who has been calling your commlink?"
[11:30:03 PM] Asian_Man "I don't know, looks like arial photo's from above or at an angle."
[11:31:23 PM] Asian_Man ::He nods and looks to Oscar:: "Yes, well, not Mr. Cho himself, but one of his men yes. Cheese they call him. An elven razor."
[11:32:11 PM] * Vince looks at Oscar "Think he's a good actor? Maybe he managed to escape and kill one or two of us."
[11:32:34 PM] Manzazzuu "Vince, Oscar, are you done terrifying the poor man yet? I would like to speak with him for a bit." Manzazzuu says with an exhasperated sigh.
[11:33:19 PM] Oscar ::Oscar looks at Manny with an evil little grin on his face.:: "Sure be my guest."
[11:33:57 PM] * Oscar takes a seat on the step of the van.
[11:33:57 PM] Vince "Yeah, sure, he's dead anyways."
[11:34:14 PM] * Vince psuh the man on the ground and gets in the van, lightly as smoke.
[11:35:32 PM] Manzazzuu "Thank you." Manzazzuu shuts the van's doors to give him and the asian man a little privacy. He squats down in front of him, and offers a friendly smile. "You will have to excuse my associates, they do not take well to being shot at."
[11:36:02 PM] * Vince opens up a window a little, to get air
[11:36:28 PM] Manzazzuu <<Oh, I thought the guy was in the van?>>
[11:36:59 PM] Asian_Man ::he is near hysterical and blubbering:: "Please, let me go. I wont say anything."
[11:38:32 PM] Manzazzuu "Mister Ching - Is that your name? - please calm down. I have no intention of hurting you. I think, however, that you and I are in a position to help one another." Manny continues smiling in a friendly manner to the chinese man, adjusting from his squat to a sitting position.
[11:38:41 PM] * Oscar angles his position in the van so that he can see what is happining outside the van
[11:39:12 PM] * Vince listens while smoking his cigarette
[11:40:23 PM] GM_Kagi *Vince your cigarettes are soaked and so is everything you have on you. It's been pouring rain on everyone outside the van for about 15-20 minutes.
[11:42:53 PM] * Vince trow his wet pack on the ground of the van, reaches for his duffel bag and get out a brand-new pack, opens it and lights a smoke.
[11:43:59 PM] Asian_Man ::Cowers as Vince comes near:: "Please, Please..."
[11:45:57 PM] Asian_Man "Hhhow can I go home?"
[11:46:58 PM] Manzazzuu "Are you certain that that is what you want, Mister Ching? I have a proposal for you. When you have had a chance to catch your breath, I will tell you what I propose, I think that you will see how it can be very beneficial to both of us.
[11:47:00 PM] Manzazzuu "
[11:47:31 PM] * Vince tunrs to the people inside the van "What the frag is he trying to do? Get us all killed?"
[11:50:51 PM] Asian_Man ::he seems to calm down a bit:: "Okay, what can I do?"
[11:51:38 PM] Manzazzuu "Am I correct, sir, in assuming that your ... employers will be very displeased with your failure?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
[11:52:46 PM] Asian_Man ::he nods::
[11:54:07 PM] Manzazzuu "Am I also correct that if your employer -believes-, and I say -believes-," He stresses, as he looks into the man's eyes. "That you were killed trying to perform your duty, he would be unlikely to take his wrath out on your family?"
[11:55:18 PM] Asian_Man ::he shrugs:: "Perhaps, perhaps not."
[11:55:40 PM] Asian_Man "Mr. Cho has a temper.."
[11:56:03 PM] Asian_Man "Are you going to kill Mr. Cho?"
[11:57:15 PM] Manzazzuu "I do not know. I propose to you, however, that if you remain 'dead' it may give you the opportunity to get to your family, and escape Mr. Cho's grip. Perhaps with some assistance. It would be much easier to keep up the ruse of your being dead with our cooperation, if you understand my meaning."
[11:58:10 PM] Asian_Man "I have no where to go, I have no SIN number."
[11:58:21 PM] * Oscar raises an eyebrow as if to say, i hadent thought of that before.
[11:59:09 PM] * Vince shakes his head, muttering "damn mage, he'll squeal on us the seocnd he gets the chance."
[11:59:36 PM] Manzazzuu "Having no SIN number does not keep a man from being a man. You can find work, and you can likely make a better living than you could if you stay with Mr. Cho."
[11:59:46 PM] Asian_Man ::He looks over at Vince and cringes:: "I swear I will not, oh I swear!"
[12:00:11 AM] Asian_Man ::nods to Manzazzuu::
[12:00:37 AM] Oscar ::Oscar turns to mr. Ching.:: "Can you speak Japanese as well as Chinese?"
[12:01:03 AM] Manzazzuu Manzazzuu glances up at Oscar with a frown, not happy about being interrupted.
[12:01:44 AM] Asian_Man ::He looks to Oscar and shakes his head no::
[12:02:20 AM] Oscar "Do you speak anything other then Chinese and some english?"
[12:02:59 AM] Asian_Man "A little bit of indonesian, but that's all."
[12:03:10 AM] Manzazzuu "Oscar, please, let me speak with Mr. Ching."
[12:03:29 AM] Oscar "ok just wondering thanks."
[12:03:42 AM] Vince "Just kill him and let's go, we already know what we wanted to know."
[12:04:14 AM] Oscar ::looks to Vince:: "we could hold on to him and use him as a translator."
[12:04:38 AM] Vince "To translate what? 'Please no kille me mista!' "?
[12:04:43 AM] Manzazzuu Manny turns his attention back to Mr. Ching. "Mister Ching," He says, pointedly ignoring Vince. "I was wondering if you had perhaps seen a young Japanese girl while you were working for Mr. Cho."
[12:05:26 AM] * Oscar laughs having needed one
[12:06:43 AM] Asian_Man ::He looks terrified and glances often at Vince:: "I've seen some, but I don't know, I've seen lots. When, where?"
[12:07:49 AM] Manzazzuu "It would be recently, and she would be being held against her will." He takes hold of Mr. Ching's chin, and tries to keep him from looking at Vince.
[12:08:00 AM] Oscar "hey vince keep an eye on my body" ::Oscar then slips into VR::
[12:08:29 AM] * DC turns her comm on to hidden
[12:08:31 AM] Vince "Huh now why..ah drek here he goes again.."
[12:08:56 AM] Asian_Man ::he looks terrified:: "No, not that I've seen."
[12:09:12 AM] * Vince gives that asian man a glance "tell the truth now..."
[12:09:36 AM] Asian_Man ::He looks pleadingly to Manzazzuu:: "Could you please get me one of the big man's cigarettes?"
[12:10:35 AM] Manzazzuu "It is very important, and I doubt that I can convince my friends to leave you alive if you don't find a way to help us." He takes out a picture of Akahina, without any other information about her with it, and shows it to the man. "This girl." He glances Vince's way to see if he'd be willing to grant the man's request.
[12:10:56 AM] Vince "Out there in the rain, it'll be for show only."
[12:17:31 AM] Asian_Man ::He shakes his head no:: "I'm a low man, I don't get to see much."
[12:17:47 AM] Vince "You got eyes.:
[12:18:41 AM] Manzazzuu Manny gets up, and moves over to Vince, putting out a hand for the cigarette the chinese man had asked for. "If Mr. Cho had the girl, though, you know where he would likely keep her, yes?"
[12:19:20 AM] * Vince laughs "Guess you never smoked"
[12:19:32 AM] * Vince trows in a smoke in Manzazzuu's hand
[12:20:16 AM] Asian_Man ::As Manzazzuu moves away to get the cigarette he makes a sprint for the building at top speed, his hands still tied behind his back, but legs free::
[12:20:45 AM] Vince "Drek!!" Vince exits the van and takes aim at the man
[12:20:48 AM] Manzazzuu "Naroko, catch him and hold him!"
[12:21:01 AM] Manzazzuu He puts a hand out for Vince to stop.
[12:21:37 AM] Vince "you let him go you dumbdrek! He runs he talks, he talks we die!"
[12:22:03 AM] GM_Kagi *Naroko dashes after the man and follows him into the building
[12:22:35 AM] Manzazzuu Manny just glances at Vince, and heads after Naroko and the man - knowing Naroko can more than likely catch him.
[12:23:00 AM] * Vince gets back in teh van, and drives on the other side of the building
[12:23:29 AM] Vince "Fraggin' mage and your ways, one day you'll get us all killed."
[12:26:19 AM] GM_Kagi *Several moments pass as the runners wait to see what happens. Suddenly Ching appears in a fourth story window and tries to jump to his death, but Naroko's hand snakes out and grabs the man.
[12:27:17 AM] Vince "Oh right I can't kill him but he can jump to his fragging death no problem there.."
[12:27:41 AM] * Vince drives back to the parking space.
[12:27:53 AM] Manzazzuu "Naroko, bring him to me. Try not to hurt him!" Manny calls.
The team has defeated the asian hit team, but at a cost. Even after magical healing Vince and Doc are still wounded. DC is worst off; due to extensive spell use she is unconcious and seems to have been wounded more than the others.
But the shoot out in Bellevue has drawn unwanted attention from Lone Star and the team has been forced to make a run for it. Manzazzuu is seperated from the others and pulled over by Lone Star officials. With some fast talk and a little cred, he and Naroko have escaped arrest. The rest of the team on the run from a Lone Star rotodrone have escaped it with some help from the newest member of the team, Oscar.
Circling back around, to avoid any further Lone Star cruisers, and regrouping just over the boarder in the Redmond sprawl. The team has regrouped in a parking lot in the shadow of an old abandoned and half destroyed office building.
Seattle's weather has turned nasty and a torrent of rain is falling from the dark grey sky above. Even here on the edge of Redmond the pungent smells of poverty are only slightly dampened by the rain. The team is late for their appointment from 1-4pm this afternoon at the private school Akihana attended. Though priorities may have changed since they made the appointment. Local time is 1:40 pm.
*****End Recap*****
[9:33:51 PM] Vince "Stupid goddammed Pacific Northwest."
[9:36:15 PM] Oscar "See i told ya that id have your backs when it counted."
[9:36:38 PM] Vince "Yeah just hope we don't get blamed if poeple were killed in that blast."
[9:36:53 PM] Oscar "
[9:37:19 PM] Oscar "Us blamed, i think not cause it was a Lone Star drone that did the damage."
[9:37:36 PM] Vince "A drone that got hacked?"
[9:38:21 PM] Oscar "With the drone destroyed i dont think they have any evidence."
[9:38:43 PM] Vince "Yeah, maybe just a dumpstocked copper with-a recording."
[9:39:46 PM] Manzazzuu "So I have a question for everyone. How'd those jokers know where we were?" He asks, raising an eyebrow at the group in general, looking for theories.
[9:40:09 PM] * Vince thinks about it for a second "Hmm.."
[9:40:48 PM] Manzazzuu "'Cause that was an ambush if I've ever seen one."
[9:41:39 PM] Oscar "If they were smart, which i doubt they are, then it wouldnt have crashed into that building, cause the suvivors of the accident will see a crashed LS drone."
[9:41:46 PM] Vince "Wait there was a drone flying high when we were at Akimana
[9:42:04 PM] Vince "I bet it was theirs."
[9:42:12 PM] Oscar "Yeah i remember that now."
[9:42:20 PM] * Doc "Think we were being followed?"
[9:42:32 PM] Oscar "No doubt."
[9:43:30 PM] * Vince starts feeling a little funny and then passes a hand on his wound "Say guys, anyone's good enought to get me back full healt?"
[9:44:37 PM] Manzazzuu "Magic can only work on a set of wounds once, Vince. But now that you mention it, I could use a refresher myself. DC been healed yet?" He asks, glancing over in DC's direction.
[9:45:24 PM] Vince "She's been knockout good, she might need a little more time."
[9:47:45 PM] Manzazzuu "Alright, I'll take care of myself, and then her. You guys think about how we're going to find those guys' lair. I've got twenty yen says they're the ones who've got what we're after." With that Manny moves off to a corner, and begins a mumbling chant. His hands pass slowly over his body's energy chakras, and soon begin to glow with a healthy looking light.
[9:47:45 PM] GM_Kagi *A low groan comes from behind the last seat in the Van
[9:48:38 PM] Vince "No drek sherlock, what was I saying form teh start..It's either internet, the rings or some time-off form the Yaks.."
[9:48:40 PM] Oscar "Hey vince im gonna keep this drone here, it might come in handy if i can ever find time to fix it."
[9:49:12 PM] Vince "Yeah sure Os.." He noticed a sound "Drek that guy's waking up!"
[9:49:48 PM] *** Clone is now known as Asian
[9:50:18 PM] * Vince puts his hand on his gun and approach the man "Don't you fraggin' move drek!"
[9:52:12 PM] Manzazzuu Manny puts his hands over his head and the pain stops, along with the glow in his hands. Then he moves over to DC, and looks her over to see how bad her physical wounds are. "You take care of that guy, I'll take care of DC." He says to the group in general.
[9:53:13 PM] Asian ::Mutters something unintelligable and stirs, but doesn't open his eyes::
[9:53:35 PM] * Oscar pulls out a pair of plasteel restraints and slaps them on our captive.
[9:53:59 PM] * Vince grins as Oscar cuffs the man, then he gaps the man and trow him out of his van
[9:55:13 PM] Asian ::wakes up a bit and his eyes flutter open as the restraints click shut on his wrists, he begins screaming as the large ork pulls him out of the van and onto the plstecrete ground::
[9:55:47 PM] * Vince slowly attatch his silencer to his Manhunter, looking and smiling at the man "Now you leave here alive or get eeaten by the ghould, you choice."
[9:57:22 PM] Asian ::His eyes dart back and forth as he quickly takes in his situation.::
[9:58:12 PM] Asian ::In Chinese:: "Please don't kill me, please. I have a family!"
[9:58:34 PM] Vince "No drek, so does I, we have soo much things in common....Don't make me kill you TALK!"
[9:58:56 PM] * Vince waves his guns in the asian's direction
[9:59:52 PM] * Oscar searches our prisoner for any kind of key cards.
[10:00:11 PM] * Vince waves his guns in the asian's direction "Here UCAS! you talky engelish now, or me make flied meat with you!"
[10:01:03 PM] Oscar ::oscar turns to the rest of the group and says:: "Anybody know what this guy is saying?"
[10:01:17 PM] Vince "Telling us not to kill him."
[10:01:28 PM] Asian ::In heavily accented english/city speak, now:: "Please, do not kill me. I have a family."
[10:01:54 PM] Vince "Me too. Now talk or you never see them. Who are you working for?"
[10:02:08 PM] Oscar ::to prisoner:: "Who you work for?"
[10:04:27 PM] Asian ::A look of total terror mars his face:: "I have a family, please! They will kill them!"
[10:04:35 PM] * Oscar finds some pictures of all of us and our vehicles, and an address on some paper during his search
[10:04:59 PM] Oscar "Im gonna do a quick search on this address i just found"
[10:04:59 PM] Vince "Well, talk and maybe you can stop them, don't talk and you die now, and them soon..make your choice."
[10:05:16 PM] * Vince takes the pictures from Oscar and looks at them.
[10:05:20 PM] Manzazzuu Manzazzuu prepares himself by taking a few slow, deep breaths, falling into a deeply concentrated state. He lays DC out flat in front of him, on his knees beside her. His fingers gently touch each of her body's chakras in sequence, and then he draws lines between them as he mumbles the phrases to the spell.
[10:05:22 PM] Manzazzuu Each time he traces a line, he moves more quickly, building greater and greater energy in his hands. Before he is done, they virtually glow brightly enough to light the whole room. He places one hand over DC's forehead, and the other along her stomach just below her belly button. The healing energy flows into her body.
[10:05:25 PM] Vince "You little frag...."
[10:06:21 PM] * Vince pistol whips the asian
[10:09:09 PM] * DC grogily puts a hand to her head and growns
[10:10:02 PM] Manzazzuu "I am glad you could rejoin us." He tells her with a soft smile. "You should try not to tax yourself so much." He advises, offering her a hand to help her sit up.
[10:10:12 PM] GM_Kagi * The man screams and tries to move his head to soften the blow, but Vince opens a gash on his head and his eyes flutter back into his head and he collapses in a heap on the plastecrete
[10:10:55 PM] * Vince grabas the man and brings him to his feet "Now talk or family goes bye-bye."
[10:11:07 PM] * Vince sticks his gun under the man's chin.
[10:11:11 PM] DC "the spirits hate when I work for the Yakuza"
[10:13:05 PM] Manzazzuu "You look like you could use a little longer to clear your head." He says, noticing the telltale signs of drain.
[10:13:10 PM] DC "oh, he is up as well"
[10:13:54 PM] * Vince shakes the guy a little "Drek, anybody got some stim patches?"
[10:14:50 PM] Doc "Vince put the man down you are gonna break him."
[10:15:03 PM] Manzazzuu He glances over at Vince, and sighs. Standing up, he walks over. "Doc, come here, and tell me if some healing would revive this man or not. I don't know much about healing beyond the use of magic."
[10:15:22 PM] Vince "A couple of stims would do the trick, trust me it'll work."
[10:23:34 PM] Doc "Ya he will live."
[10:24:08 PM] Vince "Good, so just stim patch him and I can continue."
[10:30:18 PM] Oscar "Well from what iv found out so far about that address i found on this guy, its for a wherehouse in the docks area of Tahoma, but im still searching for who the owner/occupent of it is."
[10:30:48 PM] Vince "Try cross-checking it with Seattle Fish Factory."
[10:31:25 PM] Oscar "but didnt you say that those guys spoke Japanese?"
[10:32:04 PM] Vince "...yeah, guess that drek's a triad memeber..drek, talk about a threesome of families.."
[10:34:14 PM] Oscar "Wouldnt hurt though" ::Oscar adds the Seattle Fish Factory to his info gathering/cross-referencing::
[10:34:26 PM] Oscar ::for his sprite::
[10:34:37 PM] GM_Kagi *Oscar's Commlink begins ringing to indicate an incomming call.
[10:34:52 PM] Oscar *Hello?*
[10:34:52 PM] * Doc from along the side of the van makes a few obscure gestures towards the asain and an opaque shimmer flows over the man and disappears. Right after Docs nose begins to bleed.
[10:35:44 PM] GM_Kagi *The face of Eddie Yamaguchi pops up in the corner of your AR display as the call connects
[10:36:09 PM] GM_Kagi "You are late for your appointment. Report."
[10:37:22 PM] Manzazzuu "Doc, are you alright?" He asks, moving over to the man, and putting a hand on his shoulder. "You shouldn't have done that. I'm still fresh, you're not. Here, lemme try and fix you up?" Manny offers.
[10:38:12 PM] Oscar *Mr. Yamaguchi san, were waylaied by some kind of hit squad, and have one of our attackers captured, but i dont speak chinese.*
[10:38:18 PM] Vince "doc, you beeter NOT have wasted your strenght on him..if you didn't wanted to wast a 50 nuyen stim patch i would have paied it for you."
[10:38:35 PM] Oscar *we were
[10:39:41 PM] GM_Kagi *Everyone outside their vehicles is now soaked with rain. As it continues to pour down a light fog is now building up as well.
[10:40:39 PM] * DC is resting in the van
[10:40:48 PM] Doc "I am ok just gonna sit here for a few and catch my breath. If you need a patch there are a few in my bag over there."
[10:40:55 PM] Oscar "Hey we need to get moving to our apointment cause Mr. Yamaguchi is on my commlink right now asking why we have missed our apointment."
[10:41:33 PM] * Vince drops the man and walks to Doc "Doc, what the hell did you do? nothing happened!"
[10:42:05 PM] * Oscar gets back into the van
[10:42:09 PM] Eddie ::He looks disappointed:: "Yes you are on the police band. You are drawing unwanted attention to yourselves and in turn to us. This will make it very difficult to extract Butterfly."
[10:43:00 PM] Eddie "How is the search coming for our package?"
[10:43:29 PM] Doc "I was just seeing if our friend here was lieing but he is out so I am gonna rest."
[10:43:36 PM] * Oscar mutes his commlink only for a moment
[10:43:49 PM] Vince "Yeah you do that..you got stim patches?"
[10:44:00 PM] Oscar "So what do we know about his daughter?"
[10:44:18 PM] Vince "She'll be home soon, tell him that."
[10:44:28 PM] Vince "We're working on it."
[10:44:29 PM] Doc "Ya they are in my bag over ther." /me points towards the corner of the van
[10:44:51 PM] * Vince gets in teh van and opens Doc's bag, taking out 2 stim patches.
[10:45:24 PM] Oscar ::Oscar unmutes his commlink::: *She will be home soon, Mr. Yamaguchi san.*
[10:45:27 PM] * Vince then gets out and stim patch the asian man.
[10:45:38 PM] Manzazzuu "Doc, let me heal you before you rest." Manny says, looking at the man. "You likely reopened your wounds with that last spell."
[10:46:27 PM] Doc "I would appreciate that thank you."
[10:47:22 PM] Eddie ::His brows knit in frustration:: "I was hoping for more detail. Who took her, and why? Who are these men trying to kill you?"
[10:47:55 PM] Manzazzuu He nods, and starts moving his hands over Doc's body like he had with DC. -Thinking- Doc wasn't likely as bad off as she had been, he doesn't let the energy build quite as long into his hands before pressing them in place over Doc's forehead and stomach to let the healing do its work.
[10:49:46 PM] Oscar *I have found an address on our attacker for a wherehouse in Tahoma and am searching for who ownes it* ::oscar transfers the address of the wherehouse to Eddie:: *and as for who took her we believe that our attackers have something to do with it other wise they would not be trying to stop us*
[10:54:25 PM] Eddie "I want a full report once you have arrived at this address in Tacoma. I want to know who our package is with and why they took her. I will expect a call as soon as possible. Go now, Mr. Toyama is waiting."
[10:57:43 PM] Oscar *Yes sir, i will contact you when we have found out the answers to your questions.*
[10:58:28 PM] GM_Kagi *As the Patches begin to take effect the Asian man jerks several times and small bit of froth foams from his mouth. He sits bolt awake, his eyes darting back and forth
[10:58:59 PM] Eddie ::Nods and the call is disconnected::
[10:59:08 PM] Manzazzuu "Maybe I should question him, Vince?" Manny suggests, when the man jerks awake. Manzazzuu starts walking over.
[10:59:20 PM] Vince "NO, it's ok i got this one covered."
[10:59:40 PM] Manzazzuu "You knocked him out last time you tried it your way."
[10:59:47 PM] * Vince grabs the man puts him back on his feet "Welcome back! How was your nap?"
[11:00:06 PM] * Vince exteneds the pictures to Manzazzuu "I had a good reason"
[11:00:08 PM] Asian_Man ::he wimppers and cringes away from Vince, quietly speaking in accented english:: "Please, please, please..."
[11:00:37 PM] * Vince grabs his by the amr, squezzing it "Now now, you wanna go away? Talk. Who are you working with?"
[11:00:43 PM] * Oscar steps out of the van.
[11:01:17 PM] Oscar "We will not hurt you again if you tell us who you work for and why you were trying to kill us?"
[11:01:52 PM] Vince "yeah like he said."
[11:04:44 PM] Vince "Now...why don't you answer our quesiton, so we can both go on our respective way?"
[11:05:31 PM] * Doc texts to the group [does anyone know the name "Seoulpa" as in a ring leader person?]
[11:05:43 PM] Asian_Man "Please, please, please, they will kill my children!"
[11:06:12 PM] Vince "Well, talk and you can still make it to your house and save them! Now out with what we want!"
[11:08:25 PM] Oscar "Ok, Mr. Ching if you dont tell me now I will kill your children myself."
[11:10:29 PM] Oscar "Hey Vince i have this guys name, his address, his ltg number, and all sorts of other goodies."
[11:11:37 PM] Vince "Really? Then what arer we waiting for, let's go meet the family he loves so much!"
[11:12:05 PM] Oscar "Yes lets take Mr. Ching here for a ride."
[11:12:41 PM] Vince "Yeah so he can see the look on his children's face when we slowly cut them to ribbons.."
[11:12:42 PM] Asian_Man ::A large wet spot spreads in his crotch as he pees himself facing Vince:: "Oh God, please! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I only know the address to go to collect and a name. Mr. Cho. Please, my children; they are innocent!"
[11:13:02 PM] Vince "Collect what and who's that Cho frag?"
[11:13:24 PM] Oscar "Why were you trying to kill us?"
[11:13:45 PM] Asian_Man "I came from china, an associate of Mr. Cho brought us here, but I must work for him or he will kill my children!, Please!"
[11:14:11 PM] Vince "Answer our questions! Collect what?!"
[11:14:41 PM] Asian_Man "I'm not a bad man, but I must do what the Seoulpa rings demand. I work in a factory for god sake!"
[11:14:49 PM] Asian_Man "My Nuyen."
[11:15:09 PM] Oscar "For doing what?"
[11:15:35 PM] * Vince smiles at the man "Fraggin' Rings I knew you were mixed into this.."
[11:17:26 PM] Oscar "I shall ask you one more time befor i get mad, WHY WERE YOU TRING TO KILL US?"
[11:17:38 PM] * Vince sticks his gun under the man's chin "Answer the question."
[11:21:34 PM] Asian_Man ::His eyes squeeze shut and tears begin to roll down:: "I do what the Seoulpa rings demand! They told me to kill you, I obey or they kill me and my family. They pay me for doing the jobs for them, but hardly anything. I work like a slave for them. Please, please, I just want to go home to my children!"
[11:22:09 PM] Vince "Right..one last thing..who's that Mr. Cho?"
[11:23:20 PM] Asian_Man "Mr. Cho is the head of our ring. He is in charge of it all. He may not make the call, but he makes someone call. He is in charge, I only do what he tells me to do."
[11:24:07 PM] Vince "What does he look like?"
[11:28:51 PM] Asian_Man ::His lower lip quivers:: "He's Korean...uh, black hair, I don't know. What do you want me to say?"
[11:29:18 PM] Vince "Tell me who took th pictures you had."
[11:29:52 PM] Oscar "Is this Mr. Cho who has been calling your commlink?"
[11:30:03 PM] Asian_Man "I don't know, looks like arial photo's from above or at an angle."
[11:31:23 PM] Asian_Man ::He nods and looks to Oscar:: "Yes, well, not Mr. Cho himself, but one of his men yes. Cheese they call him. An elven razor."
[11:32:11 PM] * Vince looks at Oscar "Think he's a good actor? Maybe he managed to escape and kill one or two of us."
[11:32:34 PM] Manzazzuu "Vince, Oscar, are you done terrifying the poor man yet? I would like to speak with him for a bit." Manzazzuu says with an exhasperated sigh.
[11:33:19 PM] Oscar ::Oscar looks at Manny with an evil little grin on his face.:: "Sure be my guest."
[11:33:57 PM] * Oscar takes a seat on the step of the van.
[11:33:57 PM] Vince "Yeah, sure, he's dead anyways."
[11:34:14 PM] * Vince psuh the man on the ground and gets in the van, lightly as smoke.
[11:35:32 PM] Manzazzuu "Thank you." Manzazzuu shuts the van's doors to give him and the asian man a little privacy. He squats down in front of him, and offers a friendly smile. "You will have to excuse my associates, they do not take well to being shot at."
[11:36:02 PM] * Vince opens up a window a little, to get air
[11:36:28 PM] Manzazzuu <<Oh, I thought the guy was in the van?>>
[11:36:59 PM] Asian_Man ::he is near hysterical and blubbering:: "Please, let me go. I wont say anything."
[11:38:32 PM] Manzazzuu "Mister Ching - Is that your name? - please calm down. I have no intention of hurting you. I think, however, that you and I are in a position to help one another." Manny continues smiling in a friendly manner to the chinese man, adjusting from his squat to a sitting position.
[11:38:41 PM] * Oscar angles his position in the van so that he can see what is happining outside the van
[11:39:12 PM] * Vince listens while smoking his cigarette
[11:40:23 PM] GM_Kagi *Vince your cigarettes are soaked and so is everything you have on you. It's been pouring rain on everyone outside the van for about 15-20 minutes.
[11:42:53 PM] * Vince trow his wet pack on the ground of the van, reaches for his duffel bag and get out a brand-new pack, opens it and lights a smoke.
[11:43:59 PM] Asian_Man ::Cowers as Vince comes near:: "Please, Please..."
[11:45:57 PM] Asian_Man "Hhhow can I go home?"
[11:46:58 PM] Manzazzuu "Are you certain that that is what you want, Mister Ching? I have a proposal for you. When you have had a chance to catch your breath, I will tell you what I propose, I think that you will see how it can be very beneficial to both of us.
[11:47:00 PM] Manzazzuu "
[11:47:31 PM] * Vince tunrs to the people inside the van "What the frag is he trying to do? Get us all killed?"
[11:50:51 PM] Asian_Man ::he seems to calm down a bit:: "Okay, what can I do?"
[11:51:38 PM] Manzazzuu "Am I correct, sir, in assuming that your ... employers will be very displeased with your failure?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
[11:52:46 PM] Asian_Man ::he nods::
[11:54:07 PM] Manzazzuu "Am I also correct that if your employer -believes-, and I say -believes-," He stresses, as he looks into the man's eyes. "That you were killed trying to perform your duty, he would be unlikely to take his wrath out on your family?"
[11:55:18 PM] Asian_Man ::he shrugs:: "Perhaps, perhaps not."
[11:55:40 PM] Asian_Man "Mr. Cho has a temper.."
[11:56:03 PM] Asian_Man "Are you going to kill Mr. Cho?"
[11:57:15 PM] Manzazzuu "I do not know. I propose to you, however, that if you remain 'dead' it may give you the opportunity to get to your family, and escape Mr. Cho's grip. Perhaps with some assistance. It would be much easier to keep up the ruse of your being dead with our cooperation, if you understand my meaning."
[11:58:10 PM] Asian_Man "I have no where to go, I have no SIN number."
[11:58:21 PM] * Oscar raises an eyebrow as if to say, i hadent thought of that before.
[11:59:09 PM] * Vince shakes his head, muttering "damn mage, he'll squeal on us the seocnd he gets the chance."
[11:59:36 PM] Manzazzuu "Having no SIN number does not keep a man from being a man. You can find work, and you can likely make a better living than you could if you stay with Mr. Cho."
[11:59:46 PM] Asian_Man ::He looks over at Vince and cringes:: "I swear I will not, oh I swear!"
[12:00:11 AM] Asian_Man ::nods to Manzazzuu::
[12:00:37 AM] Oscar ::Oscar turns to mr. Ching.:: "Can you speak Japanese as well as Chinese?"
[12:01:03 AM] Manzazzuu Manzazzuu glances up at Oscar with a frown, not happy about being interrupted.
[12:01:44 AM] Asian_Man ::He looks to Oscar and shakes his head no::
[12:02:20 AM] Oscar "Do you speak anything other then Chinese and some english?"
[12:02:59 AM] Asian_Man "A little bit of indonesian, but that's all."
[12:03:10 AM] Manzazzuu "Oscar, please, let me speak with Mr. Ching."
[12:03:29 AM] Oscar "ok just wondering thanks."
[12:03:42 AM] Vince "Just kill him and let's go, we already know what we wanted to know."
[12:04:14 AM] Oscar ::looks to Vince:: "we could hold on to him and use him as a translator."
[12:04:38 AM] Vince "To translate what? 'Please no kille me mista!' "?
[12:04:43 AM] Manzazzuu Manny turns his attention back to Mr. Ching. "Mister Ching," He says, pointedly ignoring Vince. "I was wondering if you had perhaps seen a young Japanese girl while you were working for Mr. Cho."
[12:05:26 AM] * Oscar laughs having needed one
[12:06:43 AM] Asian_Man ::He looks terrified and glances often at Vince:: "I've seen some, but I don't know, I've seen lots. When, where?"
[12:07:49 AM] Manzazzuu "It would be recently, and she would be being held against her will." He takes hold of Mr. Ching's chin, and tries to keep him from looking at Vince.
[12:08:00 AM] Oscar "hey vince keep an eye on my body" ::Oscar then slips into VR::
[12:08:29 AM] * DC turns her comm on to hidden
[12:08:31 AM] Vince "Huh now why..ah drek here he goes again.."
[12:08:56 AM] Asian_Man ::he looks terrified:: "No, not that I've seen."
[12:09:12 AM] * Vince gives that asian man a glance "tell the truth now..."
[12:09:36 AM] Asian_Man ::He looks pleadingly to Manzazzuu:: "Could you please get me one of the big man's cigarettes?"
[12:10:35 AM] Manzazzuu "It is very important, and I doubt that I can convince my friends to leave you alive if you don't find a way to help us." He takes out a picture of Akahina, without any other information about her with it, and shows it to the man. "This girl." He glances Vince's way to see if he'd be willing to grant the man's request.
[12:10:56 AM] Vince "Out there in the rain, it'll be for show only."
[12:17:31 AM] Asian_Man ::He shakes his head no:: "I'm a low man, I don't get to see much."
[12:17:47 AM] Vince "You got eyes.:
[12:18:41 AM] Manzazzuu Manny gets up, and moves over to Vince, putting out a hand for the cigarette the chinese man had asked for. "If Mr. Cho had the girl, though, you know where he would likely keep her, yes?"
[12:19:20 AM] * Vince laughs "Guess you never smoked"
[12:19:32 AM] * Vince trows in a smoke in Manzazzuu's hand
[12:20:16 AM] Asian_Man ::As Manzazzuu moves away to get the cigarette he makes a sprint for the building at top speed, his hands still tied behind his back, but legs free::
[12:20:45 AM] Vince "Drek!!" Vince exits the van and takes aim at the man
[12:20:48 AM] Manzazzuu "Naroko, catch him and hold him!"
[12:21:01 AM] Manzazzuu He puts a hand out for Vince to stop.
[12:21:37 AM] Vince "you let him go you dumbdrek! He runs he talks, he talks we die!"
[12:22:03 AM] GM_Kagi *Naroko dashes after the man and follows him into the building
[12:22:35 AM] Manzazzuu Manny just glances at Vince, and heads after Naroko and the man - knowing Naroko can more than likely catch him.
[12:23:00 AM] * Vince gets back in teh van, and drives on the other side of the building
[12:23:29 AM] Vince "Fraggin' mage and your ways, one day you'll get us all killed."
[12:26:19 AM] GM_Kagi *Several moments pass as the runners wait to see what happens. Suddenly Ching appears in a fourth story window and tries to jump to his death, but Naroko's hand snakes out and grabs the man.
[12:27:17 AM] Vince "Oh right I can't kill him but he can jump to his fragging death no problem there.."
[12:27:41 AM] * Vince drives back to the parking space.
[12:27:53 AM] Manzazzuu "Naroko, bring him to me. Try not to hurt him!" Manny calls.
