(OOC Wolflet say - it is up to you to you to tget the best price for the stones from the ellies - quite a few asks about these..theres - six lots of stone as the trolls took two - street value about 1500.. but someone said it was worth more to mages or talismongers.. about double if you have a regular contact, so 18,000 tops about 2000 each.
Theres also the trid - does it boost sales and promote a rush of requests for information..? Does it phooey.. good pics, but it just hasnt seemed to grab the viewing public..
200,000 was mentioned too - which was for a biosample recording that Four-Eyes was able to trace up, thats 20,000 each - if you are including Lucille.. oh, and a cut for the guy who took the sample 25%? 15,000 seems like an acceptable round number - But a lot of this is up to Four-Eyes, as really it is his contact that has pulled in this cash.
A suggestion is made that you invest in some recording equipment - trid, analysers, samplers, that sort of thing. Or spending some cash on further informative training ?
So you got some readies, a date to spend a few days browsing literature of what has recently been nibbling at humanity (covers all human and metas - wheras human means just pinkies)
Theres a couple of other people there too - who may like to introduce themselves..
The people here are guarded, but open with most general conversation, Illiya has made sure that you are all welcome and you all fit the bill... youve all ben fightin off your own bat. Nows the time to get an keep a little organisation, and a little help too.

Micro walks over and gathers the group together minus Four Eyes since he is busy right now. "OK guys, I have a contact that will help us out with the elemental "rocks" we have I'll see what he is willing to pay for the stuff. If you guys want we can shop around if you guys have anyone who would buy the stuff." Micro sees that Shade is not happy with the metion of selling the Elemental gold, Micro has a good idea why but since he is no good at Alchemy he is fine with the cash right now.
Micro walks over to Shade after a short talk Micro learns he wants to keep some of the elemental rocks. "Well if you want the rocks just take it out of your cut, if it is not enouph and you want more I'm fine if you can compensate the group for talking there cut and I'm fine with it just ask everyone else if they are ok with it."
"It is good material for focuses but I can't make my own so money now will help me out to get more gear and pay rent. I know keeping it for later could help but I want to keep my appartment, up my librarys and get some spell formulas, oh ya and better armor." Runs through Micro's head as he walks back to the group with Shade to see what the group thinks of letting Shade keep the rocks he wants and to find out what Shade will give in compisation if he goes over his share.
(OOC Let me know wolf when #'s are finale on cash divide then I will shop and train for the week, Micro loves hitting the book's for study "Knowledge is Power")

(Meg walks to the nan who has been quiet, taking it all in) What do you do then, erm, I diddnt catch your name, I'm Meg - looks like this is finishing off - some of us will probably go shopping - I need to tag along with Micro and Shade, Angel too probably if she's on the lookout for hard to come by supplies, eye of newt an all that.
Youd probably be better off havin a chat with Four-Eyes or Peaches if youre after 'steelier' items.
If Four-Eyes has done a deal then Ive got cash, and I'll buy in the ellie stones, my cut should cover it all.. that OK with everyone..?

Shae speaks to the group as a whole. "I want my share of the metals. As for the emeralds I will trade them for equal weight in metals. They would better serve a shaman I think, but not me."
Shade takes a moment. "Sorry, I'm just tired. I don't mean to sound crabby. Been a long week."
OC: When I checked though out the day no one posted. I leave to play my new game for a small 18 hours and there's tons of new posts. What gives? lol

(OOC Wolflet say.. the trolls took two fists of gold, theres similar chunky nuggets or two of gold (Angel) and also silver in a rough sharp-edged hunk, ruby and emerald & jade As there are new people involved, Your shopping and organising can be done quickly - if you know what you want, you can buy most ordinary gear easily through your contacts - or have a gas with the others and get them to make the purchaces for you. Good time to get to know each other now that the pressure is off. The weekend seminar/training too can be quickly resolved, so in a short time you are settled with shiny new things and sharper minds

"I got time to kill anyway may as well learn a thing or two while I do, I'm in." Quick has his usual grin and moves to sit next Peaches.

Over the course of the next few days you are subjected to trids and vids from way back when - there is little written info as most people dont read more than street signs as most info is spoken electronic matrix driven. There are a few old pamphlettes from the early 2000s depicting what people thought the future would be like, a 3D vid called invasion of the bodysnatchers which was a prophetic view of the Brotherhood bug incursions, and a paper copy of Tolkeins Lord of the Rings in tiny tiny type.
Information that demonstrates the idea of otherworldly things has become a reality, changes to people, to the environment.
A whole block of trid regarding the Fortean Times from nearly a hundred years ago in the 1970s collecting in strange and uncanny happenings.
It is like there have been these things happening over the centuries, but on a very small scale, since the VITAS virus wiping out a quater of the population then the awakening, the floodgates for change have been opened
Along with the changes to humanity, have been coverups of things - bug city - vampires - real parasites have become more noted, but hidden away, kept quiet untill all hell breaks loose.
The Times is able to give you heresay and details on creatures, dna readouts on what they think they run on - method of operation, telltale signs of vile activities. Problem lies in that there is a lot of degeneration after most things get killed off - pools of goo or dust are left behind. Most of the tales you have heard can be true, some work on some things but not on others, there are rules of thumb, not absolute rules where these things are concerned.
In general if it gets up after shooting it with lead, try cutting it, then cut it with silver or iron, many cant abide sunlight or ultraviolet - or holy symbols if it is religious!
There are a couple of interviews with self-styled vampire hunters, who tell of wood and silver being most effective, but different 'vamps' re more suceptible to other different things.. chinese vampires dont mind being doused in holy water but cant stand prayers.. something to do with the culture they are immersed in.
One theory is that the creatures reflect the society they evolve in - so lots of british ghosts, Irish Little People, German wolves and noswerantu , Japanese no-face NAN traditional spirits -as if the local fairy - stories have come to life... or death..
It is a lot of information, much you may know already but not all in one place.

Shade enjoys sitting back and learning about the "baddies." He often sneaks candy bars and little things of pop corn and soda in. He can easily recall everything he has seen in those days. His memory was flawless. Now and again however everyone hears "Stake his ass damnit!" or something close to it. Shade loves old horror movies. "Ninja kick the damn rabbit!" Shade truly enjoys himself and is always happy to answer questions people have after "class" is over. The locel vending machines get alot of use from Shade in those few days.

Four-Eyes came back to the group after talking privately with Illiya, carrying a small box. "All right guys, got somethin' from the reading I got...we're 8, plus John, Lucille and Hunter; the ladders having each 5%, all right?. Right." Even if someone complaints about the money split, Four-Eyes will distribute 10% of 200 000 to eveyonr who was with him last week, and who thought of coming here. "I thought of maybe putting some of our ressources together. I know some of us got a common account, we could use it, maybe get some hardware for the group. Wadda'ya think?"

Shade takes the stick ((20k, correct?)) without compliant. "Hardware is good, but I refuse to use a gun. A tranq gun maybe. A fingertip monowhip is also acceptable. I don't murder anymore."

20 k s'good by me Omea. Wow last time I seen Cred like this was when I bought my bike.
OK gear and stuffs good but how muck do you want to put into a group found? Is this a gang that I have to turn in all the cred to the boss so's he can hand out the cookies.
Chuck listens to the ramblings of, what should he call them ... teachers, not understanding very much. But the only school on the street is the one of hard knocks. All I know is that I'll get paid and get to wack things. Could be worse.
