------------------------------Four Eyes money tak "Sure gear is great I'll put most of 1 credstick into that. (4K) And more later" answering Four Eyes request for goup funds. "The rest should go to rent, it is my parents old place I kind of want to keep the thing even if I don't use it much these days. Then armor and magical gear. Yep that would be most of it. Oh ya scaners and such will help out too."
------------------------------- INFO MEET Micro sips on a coffee as he gets bombarded with info, "This is what I'm taking about the facts on how to keep these nasties down and down for good. It's never fun to think your enemy is out of your hair for good to find him chewing on your arm when you least expect it."

Shade smokes while talking, smoke seeping from his mouth as he does so. "While I have no problem with a group fund, keep in mind the gear I want costs more then what you just paid the group as a whole. Plus I need a good amount of money for a sca-er... project I have been thinking over."

"Heh..listen this ain't for ALL your gear, this is for common gear; commlinks, cameras, training, analysers..since magical stuff costs alot, and not everyone can, could or want to use a firearm for example, no need to buy stuff like that for everyone, 'suppose that we stick with a 'bring your own weapon' policy, but the communications devices and readers/scanners are pretty much team property. You don't wanna give a cut..well, not my problem, but don't go cryin' and bitchin' if gear breaks away in the field."
================= Learning session
Four-Eyes got himself a good cup o' caf, and got to studying. It's been a while since he actually got to sit down and learn (even if it was more of question of fighting an ever-growing feeling of sleepiness), but he was actually eager to get to learn about things where classrooms and the teaching elite barely even shown, and possibly even know. He concentrated of the many weird paranormal creatures that are in the archives, glancing quickly on the natural disasters, but his focus was ore of the human monsters; Ghouls, vampires, if it looked human, he read about it.

"Yeah, I can see da need for good snoopin' tools, 'dough I already got a decent 'link. I'm willing to 'trow in a stick for dat. Does Illiya have good contacts so dat we can get 'dis stuff we need, or are we on our own for dat, too? I sure as hell know I need to get me a better blade, but udder dan dat, I dunno what da hell I should get. Maybe some harder ammo? Any suggestions"

The two guys you met in Illiya's cabin are there too - pointing you to choice materials and following up leads on the matrix - you all knock off around nine in the evening after some 10 hours searching, resding and collecting inf on various topics. Even during the bite-breaks, these two got you all talking about what you found - sparking off more ideas and further leads..
At the end of the second day your minds are stuffed with alternate views on who you really share the planet with.
One snippett of info comes in from Fryer - the fone trace led to an Al Jownes, seems like it was his fone that took the pics then distributed them, and seems like he is a freelance investigator, linked to - guess who..? Renraku. Fryer's guess is he set you up to put a scare into you all in order to trace the hacker, but as they are now after the mage-ess, the bus is old news!
Al Jownes pic comes up - a weasly small guy - you vaguely remember lurking around the festival.
With the late meal you are all together again, Illiya announces
Hope youve taken a peek behind the curtain and have a better understanding of the things that are out there. Seems to me that years ago a lot of things went on but sort of died a natural death - but now money will back those who have specialist skills - in effect helping parasites bloom in return for their services. R & D groups want samples to play around with. So if you come across anything uncanny, be careful it isnt being grown by someone big - who may take offence.
Youve got our site address - if theres something you need following up, give us a call and we'll do our best to help you out Thank you all for coming. Theres a bar down the block - Fingal's I could do with a drink after all weve ploughed through.. anyone coming?

Shade likes the sound of that. I'll come, I could use a Irish Coffee right about now."" Shade makes a mental note to get ahold of S.C. later.
I'll bet he's got something kicking around I could use.

Here Four-Eyes here's a stick. Chuck passes over a stick of 5k cred. Easy come easy go. thinks with a slight frown.
Drink. Did some one say a drink? Chuck looks around for who said that.About time they said something I understand today. Now at least the school thing is over. back to making cred I hope.
Chuck keeps a 5k stick of cred and put 2 sticks in a place of safe keeping. He doesn't want to party it all away. If he were going to start running the shadows he's need some up grads ..... well he's need some grads before he could up them. And the last time he looked that Bio and cyber ware cost a lot more then this.

"Well I should try and get some supplies together the sooner the better." Micro contemplates staying for a drink but since he is driving his bike today no way should he down a bottle or 2 tonight. "I'm heading her. I'll see you all later." Micro takes out a smoke and lights it as he begins to stroll out the door of a bit of shopping.
"Lets go see if Shaun has anything I'm looking for he maybe a bit disappointed I don't have a rock to show him." Micro thinks then walks over to Shade and Meg. "Guys you mind if I bring 1 rock to Shaun. I wont sell the thing just I said on the phone I'd show him one. I bet I'll get a better deal on my gear if I don't show up with out the rock I told him, about. You can come along if you are looking for magical gear and make sure I don't sell the stuff."

((All right, so the common account is up to 19 000 Nuyen, plus whatever Peaches, me, Angel and Quick managed to put on the side (which was what, 2 grand?) )
"Peaches, get some silver rounds. I got some more from the old man back in th'woods. Maybe some explosive AP could be good, if you can find some. I got m'self a machete, somewhat easy to hide, and a bit longer and deadlier than a knife too. As for Illiya, me and her still got some biz to take care of. She'll get back to me in a few days she told me, she needs to check out something I found last week. Try to get some creds as a cushion, and some gear for the obvious" ================= It seems that the rest of them were starting to pitch in the common money pot. "All right, I might be able to get a package deal for comms, somethin' with an encryption program in it." He turns to Meg, Angel, Quick, Thunder, and the new guy, who kept quiet until now. "You people wanna cut? It still will cost a little bit, but I can I can have a few Nuyen for the comms we got back at Angel Falls. If it won't work well with Illiya, we'll have to get our stuff ourselves."
======== Four-Eyes still had his suit on when he came for the training, even if he had a different tie on. He found the Elven Mage's presence, Mike was his name, uneasy (as he was certainly trying to mind probe him). As for the deckmeister, Parol, he seemed a bit more easy to handle. Besides, he got to thinking, you know a decker, you pretty much know them all.
The day was done, and Illiya wanted a drink, and didn't want to drink alone. "Yeah why not, 'got to drive, but one or 2 won't get me wasted like hell."
((Modded after Meg's, Angel's and Quick's cut- we're up to 34000 Nuyen))

Meg has already promised 12000 of her 20 G to buying the rocks - a 5 grand stik goes back to Four-Eyes to cut her into useful kit - she was flush again! Drink or a new outlet.. she decided that a poke around magic outlets would be more interesting, so sets off with Micro and the satchel of rocks.

Quick will also hand over a 5 g cred stick he had few ideas but figured after the training he may have some new gear he may be interested in.

(long post on buying some gear, for Contact info. For wolf) Micro makes a call to a Japanese take out place and places an order for Japanese noddles to pick up. Then gathers Meg for the trip.
Micro rides his bike with Meg on the back there first stop is the Japanese take out restaurant. "Sorry Meg just got to pick this up Shaun can't get enough of this stuff ever since he went to Japan he says this is he only place that gets the stuff the way he likes." Micro gets of his bike and enters the take out restaurant and pays 8Y for his noddles. "I hope this will help Shaun give me a good deal." Micro walks back to his bike, where Meg is waiting. "Ok Lets go." Micro jumps back on his blue bike and proceeds to drive into Renton to Shaun's Shop.
Micro walks through the front doors to Shaun's Store "Shaun's Magical Emporium." The story specializes in Focuses but since they are expensive he has a wide range of other magical supplies.
The Store is a decent size with the Focuses behind glass (bullet proof) behind the front desk. There are rows of shelves with a Shaman and Hermetic section for almost everything an Awakened person could ever need. One row has spell formulas Hermetic on the right and Shaman on the left. Another has Libraries in chip form and disk form with a sign saying. "If you want Parchment, Let the clerk Know." which usually means a small wait before he orders it in. He usually wavers the Shipping and Handling free for Micro since they are still friends. There are other rows with other stuff on them usually with Shaman one side Hermetic the other. Shaun himself is Hermetic .
Micro walks up to Shaun as he finishes with his only customer at this late hour. "Hey there Raderic, oh ya Micro. So do have you brought the rock you where talking about on the phone." "Ya I did, I got bad news and good news." Micros says as he takes the noddles he just bought from behind his back. "Thats the good new I take it. I told you if you are injured go see Blair. Wait you don't look hurt." Shaun says eying Micro up and down as the last customer leaves the store. "No the rocks the group I was running around with we have decided to keep them. We did bring one so you can look at it but you can't keep it." Micro says as he get a rock from Meg and presents it to Shaun. After a few minutes of looking over the rock. Shaun hands the thing back to Micro who in turn give it to Meg to put away for safe keeping. "Nice rock you got there you know where the thing has been don't you." "Yes I know the Meta Realm that is why I brought it here even though we can't sell you it I though you would like to still see the thing, knowing how much you like rare items expecally when it comes to magical items." Micro starts to reach into his pocket to pull out a cigerret but remembers the sign on the door "NO SMOKING" Shaun always likes the smell of his shop. "I can understand why magic had a strange but alurring smell to it.". Shaun starts to open his noddles when Mirco lets him know the main reason him and Meg have shown up at this late hour. "Well Shaun I have come into some money and I would love to help you out by buying some stuff from you." "Oh really and what is it this time another Foci to up your power level or are you about ready to start summoning more Elementals you never did like doing that is school did you." "No neather of those I'm looking for a spell formula." Micro does a quick look around to make sure no one is in the store but the three of them (Unless another member of the group wants to come.) "I know you don't keep anything but force 1 to 3 out front here since you need a permit of anything with more kick to it.""Well what are you looking for."" You know how much trouble I get into I need a force 4 spell something to keep me from ending up 6 feet under. Beleive me I almost did this last time too." As thought of the sniper and the wraith come rushing to his mind. "So you looking for defence, offence or what." Shaun asks as he chows down on his noddles as Shaun Eyes Meg. "Don't worry She cool she helped me out it wasn't for her help I'd be possesed by a Wraith right now and you would never of seen those nice shiny rocks. Back to it I'm looking for a Combat Sense spell. " Shaun give a nod to Meg as he puts down his noddles and heads into the back room which he keeps locked at all times this is a nice neighborhood but thiefs still stop by but not often seeing how this is a magic shop. After a few minutes Shaun comes out of the back. Then does a glace up and down each row just to make sure no one has come in with a last check astrally with his astral preciption (Even with a astral barrier you can never be too careful this is his life this shop.) Shaun hands over the spell to Micro Who checks it over. "Yep that is the one.""OK then 4,000Y and be quick it is late but you never know." Micro hands over one of the cred sticks he got from Four Eyes earlier to Shaun who puts it into his machine then hands it back with only 1000Y left on it.
(Meg ask away if you want anything.)

Angel looks at Four-Eyes. "Common stuff, huh?" She asks. "Sure, count me in." She hands Four-Eyes back one of the four cred stick he had just handed her.

Peaches stands, slapping a meaty paw on Four-Eye's shoulder and squeezing. "We're trustin' ya omae. You take good care of dat loot, ya hear me?" He then nods at Illiya. "Yeah, sure. I'll tag along. Mind if I bring my girl?"
((Wolf, whatever happened with that visit w/ Peaches contact, Dancing Eagle? Also, I have some equipment purchases in mind. You want me to PM that to you?))
(OOC Wolflet say.. Any gear you want to buy in, write out a neat description of how you are getting hold of it, It is a good way of people in general adding more colour to their character, and also opens up opportunities for interraction with other characters. leave it as a list as well, so I can cut an paste the hard details into your cha sheet - otherwise I got to type it all in and some may go missing (~10% as a cut to the typist! - just joking)

Nice to meet you Shaun, I'm Meg I am impressed at the variety you have here. I'm looking for a big sustaining focus, but I dont have the convertable readies yet. I may make the sustaining focus myself, but will probably need to buy the formula design rather than spend a couple of months fathoming one out
I have some bright ideas for the future, as I can smith magics and am looking to set up as a registered alchemical practitioner in the near future - but I got to create a journeyman piece which will take me a few months. But yeah you have an impressive layout. when I'm up and ready, do you think I could give you a call look at doing some buying an selling biz?
Shaun has probably heard it all before. I'm just about to. need some help with. no cash at the moment. blah de blah, and answers with a noncommittal 'um'.
