Local time is 3:20 pm. Somewhere outside the rain has lessened to a steady fall.
*****End Recap*****
[8:59:13 PM] * Vince grins "So Frank and Akihana huh?"
[8:59:24 PM] Ray "I'm willing to match the offer of 80,000¥ that Eddie is offering you, but only if I get both Frank and Akiana back."
[9:00:30 PM] Vince "You do know who got them and why Sir?"
[9:02:33 PM] Ray ::He takes a sip of wine:: "I know they are trying to escape Seattle. Who has Frank? What are you talking about?"
[9:05:10 PM] Vince "Except the Yakuzas, who's on the families' bad side?"
[9:06:54 PM] Ray ::He frowns:: "Half of Seattle. If I wanted a fraggin' riddle I'd buy a fortune cookie Vince. Get to the point. Where is my son?"
[9:06:59 PM] Doc "Excuse me did you say you would match the 80,000?"
[9:08:36 PM] Vince "Th'Rings, with maybe some bug spirits as back-up."
[9:09:07 PM] Ray "What am I a parrot now? Yeah, 80,000 nuyen, but only if I get both."
[9:09:50 PM] Ray ::His head whips around to Vince:: "Bug spirits?! What the frag are you talkin' about?"
[9:09:51 PM] Doc "So they will pay us 80,000 for just her and you want us to get both for the same price?"
[9:11:30 PM] Doc "I am sure there is a misunderstading here but I must have missed it."
[9:11:41 PM] * Manzazzuu continues to hang back in the background, staying close to Naroko. He listens, he watches, and he waits.
[9:11:58 PM] Vince "Some 'Star dick named Drapp raided the restaurant we were in, and informed us that half' the city's under the bugs control, and all tha6 drek was just to get th'Yaks and the Families under the hive's control."
[9:12:57 PM] Vince "Haven't saw no bugs yet, so it may just be some guy on someone's payroll."
[9:13:01 PM] * DC sighs
[9:13:43 PM] * Oscar decides to be quite for now.
[9:14:15 PM] Ray ::His eyes stab at Doc for a moment, then he returns to Vince:: "Da Star couldn't find the floor if they fell. This guys Drapp sounds like he's crazy. I don't want to hear about no half cooked up drek from the Star."
[9:14:33 PM] Ray "Where is my son?"
[9:14:38 PM] Vince "Hey, just warnin' you of waht might be ahappenin'."
[9:15:13 PM] Vince "He's captured by some Rings."
[9:16:20 PM] Ray ::His eyes narrow:: "You got proof?"
[9:16:46 PM] * Vince points to some holes in his trenchcoat "Check the news, Stuffer Shack gunfest."
[9:17:52 PM] Ray ::He sniffs in disbelief:: "Your personal problems and who may or may not be looking to geek you means squat to me. I need proof..."
[9:18:29 PM] Vince "Well ain't got no proof, only waht I saw and what I got from some Ring goons."
[9:18:50 PM] Ray "You got nothing then."
[9:19:10 PM] Vince "Nothin' I could bring here, except if you like dead Chinese for dinner."
[9:19:51 PM] Vince "Got someguy named Cho runnin' the show for the Rings, 'ring a bell?"
[9:19:59 PM] Ray "I'm hiring you. Find Frank and this new slitch and deliver them to me." ::he takes a level look at Doc:: "This is not a request, scan me?"
[9:20:16 PM] Ray "I don't know no Cho."
[9:21:12 PM] Ray "I understand you guys have a friend in Lone Star hands, yeah?"
[9:21:47 PM] Vince "Yeah.."
[9:22:26 PM] Ray ::His gaze turns to DC:: "And some of you have Family. Loud mouth rasist family, but no one you'd like to see hurt I'm sure."
[9:22:44 PM] * Vince smiles
[9:23:20 PM] Ray "I'm sure I can clear all this up for you's once we welcome you into our Family."
[9:23:22 PM] DC "what?.. no no... it is a family matter... I would like it solved by our family"
[9:24:42 PM] Ray "You turning my offer of protection down? You turning your back on my Family? You saying you don't want to be a part of my Family?"
[9:24:58 PM] Ray "Vince talk some sense into your friends here."
[9:25:22 PM] Ray "I'm talking about bringing you's guy's into the fold."
[9:25:50 PM] * Vince turns to DC "Shut up, be respectful and honored ot have the Families watchiong over you."
[9:26:34 PM] * DC sighs
[9:26:57 PM] Ray I hear you had some problems with other parts of the Family Vince? Maybe we can clear this whole mess up huh? Set this whole thing right wit you."
[9:27:36 PM] Vince " 'Can't bring back the dead, it'll just be a slith breath of air actually.."
[9:28:12 PM] Oscar "Ray I think it would be an honer to join you family, since I dont have one."
[9:29:59 PM] Vince "Besdies, one of the toehr, I don't care, you both pay the same and promise me the same too..only wiht you "Ill have the Families' blessings to act.."
[9:35:03 PM] Ray ::He smiles and shrugs:: "Exactly. Everyone is happy this way. I don't want to be the bad guy here, I want to have you guys working for me, hey know what I mean?"
[9:35:57 PM] Vince "More than you think 'boss."
[9:36:14 PM] Doc "Ahh not really sure how do I fit in this they get protection or join your family but me not to clear on where I stand?"
[9:38:48 PM] Ray ::He looks dumbfounded:: "What is this, huh? Looks it's simple you work for me now, not Eddie and his bunch. You don't like that I'm going to eat your liver after I get done dipping your hear in a bucket of acid. Then I go to work on your family, your friends. I'll hurt guys who owe you money! You gettin' me now?"
[9:39:05 PM] * Pele sits back in deep thought
[9:39:58 PM] Ray "Find my son and his new slitch, bring them here. Now get out of here."
[9:40:08 PM] Ray ::he goes back to eating::
[9:40:45 PM] Oscar "Sounds good to me, Boss"
[9:40:54 PM] * Pele gets up, following Rays orders, and heads for the door
[9:41:19 PM] * Doc turns and follows Pele
[9:41:33 PM] * Manzazzuu moves to retrieve his weapons, bringing Naroko with him. Naroko also retrieves her staff.
