"Maybe later Matt, maybe later...Tell me...who asked you to come along? And why did they ask you?" Gunther moves to settle Matt a little by placing a large hand gently on the humans shoulder. He glances over Matt's shoulder to where Erick is standing and gives a small shrug at the shamans raised eyebrow. Turning back to Matt, Gunther looks with concern down on the human who seems to shrink within himself as he thought about Gunther's questions...Gunther seems to be speaking more quietly to Matt as Jorinda begins to speak to someone at the door...
After a couple moments, Gunther and Matt move to the van and Matt sits in the middle seat. Gunther closes the door most of the way, then looks thoughtfully at the man in the van. Gunther walks over to where Erick and Xenomarch are standing and begins talking to them as the three of them watch Jorinda talk with the elf from the store. Gunther says something to them and the three of them make their way back to the van, climbing in.
"We have a problem. Rix, here, is NOT a shadowrunner. He is a fraggin scientist. He is here because he wants to try out some experiments and wants us to cover his ass while he tries out some drek on some unwilling subjects. Sorry Rix, but I cant keep this quiet. It's their lives that might be on the line and I want them to help make the choice as to whether you stay or go. Cudo's to science and all that, but I am not comfortable with secrets, especially secrets that can get me killed..." Gunther at least has the decency to look embarrassed...but he looks angry too....

[whisper=jblack]The elf ain't looking at anything precise, more like a general look on how you look[/whisper]
The elf seems to be a bit taken by surprise "Lance..oh yeah he ain't here..he went to the diner to get some take-out." He motions to ward to small diner up the street, a couple of pick-ups trucks and a blue boat (as in big car, like the old people have, no a real boat, think Buick or Lincoln). His eyes shift to Gunther's taking everyone back in the van "He..should be back in a couple of minutes, what's it about miss?" His hand moved near the bugle on his hip, but disappeared into his pants pocket.

Jorinda steps a bit closer to the elf. Knowing his attention is elsewhere, she makes sure that one foot is within the opening of the door. She looks up toward the diner and the cars parked near it.
She glances back to the others. A scary looking bunch, she supposed, if you weren't used to their company. "Mr. Jackson sent us. Said Lance needed some help." She looks up at him and offers an innocuous smile.

"Jackson.." He seems to ponder the name for a second "Yeah Lance did mention something about a group coming in on behalf on some Jackson guy..." He looks at the van, the rest were inside talking about something "Hum...yeah...I..I guess I can let you in..."
He opened the door, signaling Jorinda to come inside.

Whispering to Gunther and Seer: "I don't think that guy is an Elf, and I don't think he should be alone with Jorinda. Course I don't think I should be alone with Jorinda either. <small smile>"

Jorinda smiles at the elf, then motions to the others in the van. It was evident that she wasn't about to go in until at least a couple of the others did. They were a team, after all, and she wasn't so stupid as to go into an unknown place alone with a person she'd just met.
Jorinda offers her hand to the elf. "Name's Jorinda. You are?"

When Gunther broke the news about Matt, Erick was surprised to a degree. But the more he thought about it, it did start to make sense. His emerald gaze remained focused on Jorinda and the man who answered the door as he offered his advice. "Good to know." Erick heads bobbed slightly in agreement. "We all had to learn some time. Just better make sure he doesn't run if the drek hits the fans." He said as his eyes narrowed on the scientist.
His attention is turned back to the store when he hears the whisper from Xenomarch. The Shaman didn't bother to give a verbal response as he started to walk in Jorinda's direction. A hint of a smile cracked his features while the gap was narrowed. The issue with the virgin runner would be dealt with later.

Matt sits in the van. "I see Mr. Gunther. Since I'm not a battle hardened warrior, I am of no use to you. Since you have so kindly put me in a very compromisable position now, I must take my leave of you and your group. I expect a thank-you letter in a few years when my advancements are saving your ignorant sorry hoop, should you actually live that long. Your assumption of me is not 100% accurate by the way. I may not be your run-of-the-mill shoot everyone shadowrunner, but I am a man who delves in the shadows to help runners, and I have been instrumental in the success of most of them. You speak of secrets, who among us have none? It was my intention to help your mission. Maybe not with bullets, but I am a certified medic, a credentialed biochemist and I have been repairing and modifying bioware for over ten years now. You fail to allow room for diversity in your group, I fail to concede to irrationality. I apologize for trusting you. Good luck to you."
As Matt departs from the other side of the van you can hear him say under his breath "What a waste of intelligence... brute force triumphs again"
Should anyone yell to Matt, he ignores them and continues walking and mumbling, briefcase in hand.

Jorinda looks to the others. Subtlety, it seemed, didn't work. She then yells to Gunther and the others. "Hey, you guys coming or what?" She sees Cody getting out of the van and walking away. What the hell? Was he leaving?
She watches Rix continue to walk away, muttering something to himself.

Xenomarch will jog over towards Jordina. "What can I help you with?"
((I will start recording Visual and Sound.))

Erick offers the pair the the smile and a nod as he reaches Jorinda and the male elf at the same time Xenomarch does after his little jog. "Is Lance inside?" Erick asks, leaning towards the front of the store and taking a good look at the man in the way. The Shaman recites a few words in his head, preparing to gather the energy inside.

Gunther steps out of the van, looking after the human known as Matt Rix. Shaking his head sadly, Gunther closes the van and trails after the others to the main entrance. Gunther enters last, ducking slightly to enter the front entrance, and looks around the interior. The ice-cream parlor was nearing completion. A few of the electrical outlets were still not wired, there was some construction remains on the floor, and the main counter seemed to be out of place.
Gunther looked over the elf who had let them in. Jorinda began to introduce everyone, including himself. Everyone was getting to know him as Gunther. Better than Mr. Liebold I suppose... he thought to himself as he nodded at Mr. Lance's assistant.
"Alright if we have a look around until Mr. Lance gets back Omae?" Gunther asks after introductions are complete.

"Me?" The elf smiled, taking Jorinda's hand "I'm Edward, but you can call me Ed..'Mind if I call you Jo..if you want of course, it'll be quicker." [whisper=jblack]Releasing your hand, you can fell that Ed let his finger run along your palm, grinning as he did so.[/whisper]
He also looked in questionment as Matt left the van and walked away..
=====
Inside the store, Ed will walk around shaking hands with everybody as Jorinda introduce everyone. Only arriving at Gunther will he simply nod and start tapping his chest "Me EEEEEEEDDDDD. Can/you/say EEEEDDDD? Me..." He tapped his chest again "Me am a Friend." Ed was acting and talking like he was addressing a retarded retard-monkey, but what seems more noticeable is that he did it naturally, without sarcasm or hate or laughter in is voice. His face did get quite the surprised look when Gunther talked normally and with good grammar.
"Look arou...eeehh..well, since I never really got told about you guys, 'better if you wait out front, Lance is in a bad mood today and I don't wanna sleep outside tonight.." He looks down, abit ashamed.."So..need a glass of water or something while you wait? It's from an underground well, it's good water..no chemicals or filter, tastes like life." Ed looks around the group of very different people, seeing like he can't decide to smile or say something.

Jorinda shakes the man's hand and takes note of his name. When he makes his suggestion, she shrugs. "I've been called worse." She replies, taking note of his hand touching hers, lingering a bit on her palm. Xenomarch will jog over towards Jordina. " What can I help you with?" ((I will start recording Visual and Sound.)) When Xenomarch comes over, Jorinda pulls away from the elfe and looks over to Matt Rix, who is still walking away. "You can tell me what's up with him." She will then make introductions all around, and when Ed begins his silly attempt to talk to Gunther, she looks at him and says flatly. "He can understand you perfectly well. He's not stupid." When he tells them to wait out front, Jorinda surveys the less than complete surroundings, but doesn't argue with the guy. When offered the water, she simply shakes her head. For the moment, she was fine.

"I'll do a walk around the outside. EEEEEDDDDDD is it? Mr. Jackson sent us over here to help you out with security, and you are absolutely correct in insisting that we wait for Mr. Lance. However, you should have made us wait outside. Not a big deal today, but down the road, you might want to me more cautious." Gunther says as the others try to find various spots to sit or stand.
Gunther takes Jornida aside and speaks quietly to Jorinda, "Looks like Mr. Rix had his own adgenda, and when I called him on it, he bailed. He was a fraggin scientist, which is fine. Heck, I am a scientist. But he wanted to perform some 'experiments' while not letting us know what was going on. I told him I wasn't having any of that drek. Hope I did the right thing...Mr. Jackson is going to hear about it from me..."
Jorinda looked a bit concerned, cause she had mentioned working with most of the people in the room. Maybe she knew him a bit, heck maybe she knew what he was, but she didn't handle it, Gunther had. Shrugging, Gunther turns to the door, pausing to ask, "Anyone want to come?"
