Puyallup - down at heel but not out for the count..
The three lightly built mages skip through the light traffic across the road to the carwash.
Arriving at the corner - two humes approach male an a fem... one displays a band of skin missing from her upper left arm, the other has the nape of his neck cleaned of his dermis..
Yo chief, you needin an up? maybe some fun, or you come to pass the time of day wid us?
OOOh baby... now I am in love!
Upbeat confident cheezy streetpunk jawin - mock bows to Angel once she gets up close..

Four-Eyes watched the Mages starting the approach from his position, 2 corners from the carwash. He was busy fakingly reading up on a lost copy of 'Guns &Ammo' that he bought when he met Peaches for training, but he did wonder what was happening with Jorinda. Since the Beaver changed it's business model, a dancin' jugalicious stripper (Even if she was Elven) was down to serving drinks and trying to to hit a customer when he tried to pitch her ass. He suppose that he'll have to go make a visit once he'll have some free time.
Damn, the biker ain't loosin' time tryin' to get in that pair of pants..
(Wolflet say jugalicious..! grief... that is merely a cover she uses to squeeze juicy info out of punters)

"We were hoping you could settle a bet for us. My friend here-" He pointed to Quick "He bet your skin patches are a rite, to join the gang." Shade points to Angel "She bet you do it for rank. I'll give ya 50 nuyem to settle this for us."
Dude, you now talkin bout our colors, you now steppin onto my turf, an you now cussin me...

((Here's a idea; did any of you Mages actually thought of doing some astral recon before jumping in feet first?))
(Wolflet say.. as you have voiced that concern.. Looks like Micro is already on the ball... he reports back so everyone can hear....

Angel smiles at the guy bowing at her, even if it was fake. She pretends to hang close to Shade, since he was the one supposedly in charge and doing the talking. As Shade lays down his spiel, Angel smiles at the others. She looks at the fem. "See, I know us gals got it over the guys, so that's his collar, and you got the stripe." Course she sort of figured it wasn't really a rank thing, but a gang thing. Would you get a patch of skin removed every time you moved up? Or skin grafts to replace the old patch to make room for the new? She didn't really think so...
(wolflet say the geezer diddnt take kindly to Shade asking questions about the gang... but you both got time to do something about it....
the gal will always be slower than you, as you have come out with a cracking statement... so if needs be, you got the drop on her...
Shade dont seem to be getting far though...

Peaches' listens in on the comms, the Ingram cradled in his lap. As Shade begins talking, he gives a dry laugh. "Go get 'em, college boy." In his lap, he slowly extends the collapsable stock of the Smartgun, working the action to chamber the first bullet. He looks over at Thunder. "Be ready to roll, omae. Dese gutterpunks are just as liable to blast 'em where dey stand as they are to tell 'em what dey want."
(Wolflet say.. Peaches hears the intel goin over the comms an is ready to jam off the brake an be there in 'very fast' if needs be...

(OOC I did think of astral checking the place out but been to busy with my new class at school so I've been posting a bit less then normal. Also any mage of the same kind Hermetic or Shaman that can conjure should be able to work as a team to track people astrally we should give it a try after this.) (I guess I'm not in the group of mages I'll check the area astrally..)
Micro decides to sit it the RV at a seat that he can see the action if need be. "Thunder look after my body and make sure to keep those 3 save. I'll going astral." Micro leans back closes his eyes then pops out of his body.
"I don't want to tip too may people off so lets do this slow." Micro thinks as he scoops out the gangmembers out frount. After getting a read on them Micro waits to hear the answer to the question before checking th carwash out trying to use a window to look in not to be too distigused as an astral traveler more as someone just looking in the window.

((Shade didn't bother since he wasn't worried about nasty spirits, gang mages don't have a lot of resources available to them. They can still scan the astral however. ))

Nipping into the astral... Shade aint too concerned... but Micro wants a secure-style check..
as the conversation continues, and begins to turn sour (Sorry Shade, the guy seems to be tetchy about his colors... he is NOT going to engage in polite conversation about the massive scarring on his neck to an interested passer-by)
Angel has collected the attention of the gal though
Micro has astrally checked the gangers an nearby personell - no mages, no major magics...
he then zips back to his meat to report .. then a quick check in astral of the carwash building.... blood and fire, peering through the windows - NADA... the place has an astral ward of high proportions on the inside middle floor of three (2nd floor) .
you wanna check the force - you have to 'bump' it .... theres a mage at work here.. or was.
====
Folks-
You are now going through the encountering procedures for something fishy.. you have already set up a 'send in the calvary' message, but all you got so far is a tetchy response. Nothing has gone pear-shaped, Shade or Quick need to make amends for the unexpected insult to the gang colours...
or you could blow them away, then the othe gangers would open fire......
It is bloody hard for anyone to start up a conversation with little 'frame of reference'
Put it this way, if Shade Angel or Quick can blag their way out - or in ... from this, then they deserves a good few persuade-style blagging ticks!
This is the stuff of negotiation.. gimme good blag, nose to nose with the gangers, you get good response from them !

"My apologies for my friend here he obviously misunderstood what I said. To show that we mean no disrespect please take this." Quick will hand a 100 yen slip to the guy. "I hope we Will be able to forget this misunderstanding and just talk."

Angel looks at Quick. She wasn't so sure that cold nuyen would work. Shade had insulted them, and they might value rep over cash.
She looks over to the fem and rolls her eyes. "Guys, gotta love their macho crap. So, my guys apologized, how about you rein yours in?" She gives the gal a friendly wink.
(Wolflet say Sounds just about right hun... hey Mitch, these guys are handin over for theirmistake..

Shade held up his hands and tried to be convincing. "I mean no disrespect, this is your turf, and you deserve all the props I can give. I thought you wouldn't mind a little time for cash. Everyone wants money, right?" Shade was doing his best to temp their greed. Now for their ego. "It's no secret you guys can kick anyones ass. Just lookin at ya, I can tell you two are the toughest ones around. So I thought we'd come talk to the big bruiser's... that would be you. To settle these two's bets." Shade adjusted his hat. "Even better, to make up for my insult, bar of your choice. I'll buy ya a few rounds." With any luck maybe Shade could prime these two. Makes info gathering so much simpler. He slowly reached for his left breast pocket. "You smoke?" Shade offers them a cig and lights it for them before lightning himself one.
Shade hoped if nothing else they would accept his sign of respect and accept the beer offer.

Micro knows better then to just start bumping into a ward to check it's force you never know if an alarm is placed on the thing. With the info he has gathered he flys back to his meat shell and informs everyone in the RV what he has found he will wait until the mages finish up what is going on so he doesn't tie up the comm when they scream for help.
"I never noticed any mages in that group better get ready incase this thing goes comabative." Micro thinks as he gathers mana getting ready to fight.

the street tough takes the smoke.. Yeah we is the biggest round here- but we aint lookin for truble, just if it comes we's ready., I'll take a smoke but dont drink outside of ma boys
So wat c'n I do for youse.. you lookin to be spendin more of the same? what d'ya need? chems muscle guns - you got a job needs doin..? me an ma boys can do most everythin.. the fem looks to Angel at this obvious bit of up-ranking with mock dispair.
Seems like you got their ear again with a nifty change of tack and a 100 bill... he does seem tetchy about gang-specific questions but is open and listening, softened somewhat by the cash

((I know that Jorinda's only using it a front, but hey, slip a bill in her 'string, she'll still gonna get'em in your face...then she'll get you to slip out info, damn strippers..))
Four-Eyes watches and listens. Shade seems to have fragged up the whole affair, but Quick and Angel bailed him out of a serious (and possibly) funny beating, but Micro's voice brought another problem. A Magical Ward? The hell's that? More importantly, is it only limited to Mages, if that's the case, then mundanes can pass through it easy, the trick being to be able to get inside and up a couple of flights of stairs. He jungled around a bit with that thought before getting on the comm.
"So Micro tell me; what's a Ward anyways, and what it do?"
