While heading to get Artie, Quick will take Shade up on his contact and while they are in a bit of a rush will get to the point and ask for some incense a few candles a bit of catnip and finally a caged mouse. Paying him for his effort Quick leaves a nice gratitude tip and apologizes for being in the hurry, saying he will be back needing more work and material so they will be able to talk and make other arrangements.
After getting back in the car he will look at Peaches
"I need to stop at a corner store also if you don't mind? Oh and Shade thank you for this on short notice."

Shade got out and found himself right in front of Taz's Tailslinging. He slipped a few coins into the parking meter. It was once in a rare while there was parking out front. A good omen.
Walking in I set the bell off. It was a nice shop, not like the old back ally shop covered in dust you mundanes like to see it as. Taz's shop was like any other business. Clean and presentable. There was a glass counter in front of two walls like a big V. On the right was magazines and assorted books. On the wall behind the glass counter was prices for varying items and services. The best part?
NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO I.D. -NO SERVICE!
On the bottom of the price listings.
"Heya Shade!" I looked up from browsing the magazine's. Calling me Shade meant "all clear." "Hey Barb I just need conjuring stuff... Ol'boy home?" "Haven't heard anything all day."
Taz didn't just own and work here, he lived up stairs. His room in the back had a quickened silence shield spell on it... so you never knew.
I learned over the counter. "How's tomorrow night look?" We both listened carefully for a moment... ...Nothing. Not a peep. "Not like him to sleep in." "His bike ain't out back."
I didn't feel a need to worrie then. I didn't even look at the wad of cash Quick had given me. So I yanked out a stick. "Six grand in "smell good sticks and candles... oh and some catnip and a cage." Barb and I shared a chuckle while she grabbed the stuff up and threw it in a paper bag. It was a joke between us. "Catnip?" "Shopping for a friend." She went into the back room for a moment and came back out with a good sized plastic see though cage. Inside there were two little white mice. "We haven't had much call for these lately. I think the kids are wising up on hunting devil rats." "In this city? Not hard. Don't worrie in a few months the next set of wanna-bes will set in and be too lazy or spoiled to hunt on their own." I slotted my stick and paid up.
She nodded her head sideways tords the no service sign. I picked up the bag and smirked, stick in pocket and spoke in arcana. "No speak English." She hadn't learned arcana yet so didn't know what to make of it. The romantic tone and wink probably didn't help ether. I left her to figure it out and walked back out to the van.
Shade climbs back into the van and hands Quick the bag to inspect. "No problem man, conjure away." He smiles and holds up the cage. "Two for one sale you lucky do-er cat you." Shade intended the pun, it was easy to tell. He sets the cage down and tries to re-thread his sword. He wasn't dumb to take inside with him.

((Well, happy holidays guys, hope you don't hit rain..Though Wolf might have taken enough rain for a lifetime or two, from what I saw on the news.))
The Americar entered Puyallup. Four-Eyes was watching all around, and after a quick mumble, Red was taking care of the right side of the vehicle. He took out his poc sec, making a call to fix a meeting with Illiya. Unfortunately, he landed on her machine.
"Hello Illiya, this is Four-Eyes, it's..2:12, I'm calling to see if we can meet and discuss a few things, mostly concerning that resource pool. You can reach me at my number I gave you, Just get back to me rapidly if you can please...Well, bye." He hung up and sighed, lighting a smoke right after that. "Well, here's the Tali, Micro you ready?...Oh Angel- if you wanna stick around, maybe make a new friend, you can come over too y'know, Red, guard the car."
"Yeah, I'll just run to the stuffer shack across the street and come back." The 3 passengers exits the car, Four-eyes locked it after that. Red had his set of keys, so might as well play it safe, he knows some people can strip or jack the car with good speed. He should know; he done it a few times as well.

Angel talks to her Talismonger about starting a Lodge. She tells him that her Totem is the Raven, the Trickster and asks his advice for what to do.
(Wolflet say.. find yerself a good site - Raven likes treetops open sky - pretty crap at building a sleek nest, just throws things together.. top of an eaterie would be good, Raven likes to eat... somewhere with a plexi-roof would be good. You need to cleanse the area - usually clear the air and the structure with smoke sticks, inscense, you want a lodge of power, you'll need about six grand's worth of materials...then sort out how big you want it to be, doesnt matter really. big or as small as you want it. Raven feeds off disorder, so trappings to represent this are good.. momentos of a good run, something from a lucky or unlucky accident would be good. What is Raven all about.. trickster, he fools and then reaps the rewards. Sometimes like Loki he ends up going a little too far, depends on who you cross, and if they find out!
Here you go gal, all the bits you need.. set up lour lodge, then you got a link to Raven, remember to bring him presents every so often, as well as paying for any spell training.
Charge it? yeah as it's you - who to, dont mind if I just check with them....
Come back soon Angel.. theyre running you ten big ones in cred !

Peaches nods absently at the others as they talk about visiting talis-whatevers. While they're inside the magical doo-hickey store, he picks up his phone and dials Rei Ayanami's number.
The phone rings four times before the other line picks up. "Hello? This is a private line. Who is this please?"
"Hoi Rei. It's me, Peaches."
"Peaches? My God, it's been forever."
"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry about 'dat. It's been a busy couple mont's."
"Wait. I thought you retired."
"Yeah, well I did. Didn't last 'dough. Ran into some complications."
"Ah. Then I suppose you're looking for work again? I hate to break it to you, but after the last fubar, shadow ops haven't been high on the list of priorities for us."
"Nah, nah, nutt'in like dat. It's just... well, you remember some of da supplies you got us last time right?"
Her reply is slow. "Yeah..."
"You 'tink we might be able to score some ammo, maybe some 'nades? I can pay you back fer all of it, null sheen. Maybe give you a bit more, if you want. You 'tink you can spare some extra ammo?"
"Depends on what you want," she says noncommittally.
"Can we meet up somewhere?"
"Do you remember the location out in Tacoma?"
"Sorta."
"Be there at 6:30. I'll call and cancel my dinner plans."
" 'Tanks Rei. Dat's wiz."
"I wouldn't do this for just anyone."
"Yeah, 'tanks double. I'll see you at 6:30."
"Sure. Say 'hi' to Sugar for me."
Peaches scoffs. "Yeah, okay. And I'll pass your condolences along to Elvis. Peace, girl." He then cuts the connection.

Seems like people are well on their way to getting their gear together and sorting themselves out.. Once folk are in a reasonable state...
Meanwhile the group moving in to Artie, who is still in the doorway.. you have already seen that his spell-casting ability is very poor currently and that he is in a bad way phisically, all in all he is not a happy bunny... How are you going to approach him, and what is your angle?
Quick, you will need a lodge - I see you are gathering appropiate pressies yum! - to connect deeply with Cat will take more than just building the lodge - you will need to spend time with Illiya to understand the theory behind what you are up to...

Shade sat back as Peaches hung up his phone. "Have any of you given thought to how we're gonna grab this guy? Peaches your a big guy, you can grab him and I'll run overwatch in case he does cast something. Although I'm hoping if we simply enplane it to him we won't need to fight. You can knock him out as last resort."

Comms into Four-Eyes..
Hi Four-Eyes, you know that job I was looking at, well I've got a date an times now, and expenses.
Were looking to leave in a few days, same place as before, to spend three to four weeks babysitting college students. I'm taking them on a field trip, and need things to go smoothly for them an for me too. I have a budget in mind .. be nice to meet up and discuss what we both want out of this - why not come over.. you could meet them and have a look around the place too, see what you think..
Meg puts in the address in the industrial zone to the South of the main city the place looks like a big tent, you cant miss it..

Quick knows he will need a little more help then he is able to muster but remembers Four-eyes said Illiya had a few connections for this kinda thing. So deciding to get in touch he calls over to him on the ride to Artie's.
"Four-eyes, I got a favor I need done can you get in touch with Illiya for some fast tutoring on lodges and Totem Communications I am looking maybe for a little more umph if you know what I mean but also not alot of downtime."
(Wolflet say.. like Four-Eyes knows a huge amount about magic.. though he should by now, as he has encountered enough..
Each and every mage or shaman would know the basics of magick - I know what you mean, and Four-Eyes would not, what you are after is specialist services.. a spirit guide ... Illiya is the one you know eho should be able to help. Micro has been very quiet recently, maybe pondering on what has happened recently to him and Meg
Lodges - you construct a conduit to the spirits, a holy place that gets their attention.. then you appease or reel em in with your offerings, gifts or just downright bribery - depending on your outlook! You then pay karma, the currency of the runner, for the service you would like...Some will spend weeks quietly contemplating, but in this day and age cash on the nail tends to be rewarded by immediate gratification... But keep the spirits happy.. if you just use them as a means to access more power for you, and precious little for them, they will get cheesed off. Your spirit is the way you have chosen to be - play with your food! It is the outlook you have on life.
spells, elementals, focii, familiars, initiation... all need the lodge or the circle to concentrate the mind.
By the way, Cat and Raven together, feathers and fur may fly!

Four-eyes took 2 steps that his phone rang "Shit..go ahead inside Micro, it won't be long.." Opening the line, he was greeted by Meg's accent, and her (new) address "All right, sounds good, I'll come around this evening, after supper, not to get them out of the classroom huh?."
He hung up, took 3 steps, and again, his phone Aww..I need a secretary or somethin'.. This time it was Quick, the hell was umph? "Yeah, no problem, dunno when I,m meeting her, I'm waiting for her call. I'll keep you in touch."
'Least I got Meg done and ready..
He entered the Tali shop, Henri Winterman Books. Micro was already setting up things with the owner, probably named Henri Winterman. A few welcomin' yak-yaks, a few questions, one saying what they want, the other what they need for it, 'should be easy.

Yip - no probs about getting easy training and easy-style info from any supplier.. thats what they do! It is only when you want something special that the price goes up, contacts have to be tweaked, favours called in... you know the score folks..
Looks like Four-Eyes is arranging some reading and writing lessons for the future .. Peaches is calling in a meet and will be off to his arms dealer contact these can be written up and the goodies dispensed - because you got the contacts.. Once the arms deal is conducted (very cautiously..!) You guys can get your heads down for some general training in innofensive training through Illiya - or offensive things if you got the 'In' through your own contacts.. Quick an Angel will be busy for a while too, communing with nature...
If people dont get the time to post and want to fill in their couple of weeks wit training or accessing stuff, no problems, just write it up a bit later...
After of course you deal with Artie.. ..Course, you dont have to do anything with him, an he will probably be dead by tomorrow morning nibbled by vermin...
Inbetween all of this delicious downtime there is a meet with a Mr J to sort out some details..
busy busy!

OOC Here for a day then to the beach for a week, so just a short post Chuck notices a Tailors shop on the way to meet the Street Doc. Hmmm been meaning to stop at one of these places for for awhile now. Chuck opens the door and the clerk looks up in fear. Can I help you sir ? Not sure what we can do for your type in here but we can see what we can do. The clerk says while rolling his eyes at the troll. In this store. Well I like you to make me up some real leather securetech clothing 3 pants and 3 vests . Also 2 securetech Jackets to match. Not the fancy drek there chummer ya know the street look. Just give me a price and the clothing and I'll be gone. I know you don't want my type hanging aroud on your step out front. (Wolflet say.. Real leather sir..! Ahem, very stylish, very tasteful, very expensive.. We can, if Sir can.. Real leather tends to be around triple standard synthetic cost.. does sir have a style in mind, and the bredth of the cut would take another multiplier, sir is a little wide in the shoulder..we could have them ready day after tomorrow..
Here sir, a vest or shirt would be around the 700 mark, all in leather mind.. a jacket, suitable for a night at the Opera or dinner at Shapiro's traditional square-cut black Dinnerjacket is 850 in synthilon, for a person og your stature, ahem.. 3500.. but I must say, it would suit you sir.. Ohh yes.. very becoming

Shade's phone dinged and he picked it out of his pocket. It was a text message.
Not a problem. By tomorrow morning you'll be a legal son of Seattle again. I am confused though, you know you'll have to tax's again? ha-ha! Seriously what's the deal? And don't tell me it's for a case, even a hint would be nice. I got all your permit info and address updated, it'll just take time to get uploaded without raising a flag or two. So the day after tomorrow you'll get a gold stick, null sheen. Also tacked on a bounty hunter and Investigater license too since i had one of those on your fake.
S.C.
P.S If I recall it's my turn to by coffee.
I shot one back.
After this kinda work I'll treat you twice, as a extra thank you. As for going legal, it'll simply make my life easer.
