((action for Noah: Walk around the park non-chalantly. Give Extreme a call and see if he can arrange a non-chartered flight to the NAN. After talking to Extreme, I'm going to continue to scour the park... trying visciously to validate what we're doing for the sake of the girl in my mind.))

Matt walks back with a soda in hand... he seems to be in a better mood. "OK... lets review this real quick... the girl...ahem, excuse me... the "nice" girl lives in the park. Corp's have been trying to move her and have not been successful. I'm not an expert on megacorp tactics, but I hafta believe that asking nicely is an approach they haven't tried yet. While getting my soda, I thought of a possibility. What if we were to go as a group and tell her we're concerned friends who know of a park that the birds won't visit anymore. We can offer a reward (but I doubt she's looking for that) and we can escort her to some park in the far side of the NAN. Truth be told, I'm hoping she'll find a park out there she'll love more. If the Corps are looking to remove her, it's only a matter of time before they "remove" her. Aight... assuming she's intelligent, we can have Glacier go get some color crayons and draw some pictures of some trees with no birds in them. Show sad trees and sad people standing near the trees. Sign each picture "Love, Abagail" and title each one "Pleese help us Unkle Matt." SO... whatcha think???"
Matt stands a little more upright... *sigh*
"Man you would've done something better than this.. I know I need the food, but I still have a conscience... you always told me that'd be my one major flaw...

A call right now to city parks and gardens to complain about that still unresolved 'the little girl and the birds' situation ... could net us some info if we get the right guy on the fone.. may even get the security firm names too..
A swift search for recent info on the park could pick out a few names - that caf had terminals
With some information we may be able to suss out a useful course of action and cut a deal with big bird and chick -
tap the motorised lillol lady for info - she seems regular, in familliar surroundings - do we use a 'weve been hired to - but dont want to..' playing it sort of straight - or - news report said there was a bit of trouble here with that young girl...
gift of the gab or a terminal wiz -anyone any preferences?- and a stakeout -- I can talk and also squeeze a deal... those are the options I can think of , outside of a plain snatch!
"True, but a call to the city parks may draw undue attention to us... I saw the terminals as well... do we have anyone here that is well versed in usage? I'm afraid it's not my field of expertise. I don't pretend to have all the answers, so I think a vote may be in order. 1.5k will pay a few months of rent for me so I need this... I'll go with a group consensus... I remember reading about a time when the "U.S.A." was run like that... a time before mega-corps... And Blazer used to talk about it... democracy he called it... said people had a lot of different jobs, but shadowrunning wasn't one of them... said they used to call what we do "terrorism"... we call it survival... and then once while we were overlooking Renraku during the....... oh.... I'm sorry........ uh.... I mean..... back to the problem at hand... Blazer used to tell me that there's always only 2 ways to do something... getting paid meant you did it right, getting geeked meant you didn't... 2 security forces did it wrong... I wanna do it right. My vote is for Meg to go talk to the girl while Grass and Glacier goes and gets a tranq gun... no damage to the field... tranq her and call in DocWagon... the only problem then becomes Johnson said she was slippery, and had a knack for showing back up here... what can we do to get the park closed until 5pm tomorrow night??? call in a bomb threat? Geek a few homeless peeps? Stage a protest for something stupid until Star clears the park???" Damn I need that drink..... I'm gonna go get one while they're thinking... I wish you were here Blazer... you would've known what to do..."Excuse me for a few guys... I need to go get a soda"Hugh goes for a Soy Soda ((ooc-I don't play ooc info, so feel free to speak about anything you want, I wont play it as char knowledge. I'll post when I get back into hearing range.))

((lol)) "You're right Meg... perhaps a little research is in order. But do we have the time or means? I also agree that a forceful solution would be most inappropriate here. Perhaps someone should go make idle chit-chat with her... possibly befriend her. I also think that a woman would have more luck with that then a man. OK people... lets have some ideas..."

"Its a soda, not an alcoholic beverage Glacier. I was hoping to avoid a run in and snatch, but is there anyone else that feels that it might be the only way? I was thinking of some form of trickery and deception... I prefer no bloodshed, but I will accomplish this mission or die trying. Perhaps a tranquilizer? Johnson said we need to keep her out of the park, he never said she has to stay in our custody. She goes limp and Docwagon'll take her in for eval... and if Mr. spirit goes nuts, LS will clear the park and hopefully take care of it... either way she's out of there, and apart from the Lonestar theory, no damage to the park. That was part of the contract. Meg... What's it gonna take to get past that spirit? It's a good probablility that the spirit has something to do with all of this; but still, a jobs a job. I pull off my bandana and wipe the light drip of sweat dropping from my brow. Spirits... gah. Look confident... sure you saw one rip apart some gangers last year... show no fear... so we pull her out, we're pulling along the spirit... yeah, that's nice. Not gonna outrun a big bird air elemental...
Sorry Grassfire... I wasn't ignoring you... if we are gonna pull a run and snatch, we'll need a non-registered vehicle. I'm afraid that's a little out of my range... if anyone has any possibilities, I'm all ears. 1.5k doesn't pay for a car though.
Be proud of me Blazer... I could never have done this while you were around... then again, I never had to.

"nope, if my contact trusts him to be a reputable johnson, I'm satisfied. I know little about the supernatural or castable magic. I personally have a gift for melee combat and stealth. I think we should ascertain all the possible danger in removing this girl from this park. Perhaps Grassfire and myself can walk around talking to some of the locals, while Meg, you use your witching powers to determine if there's something more we can't see to all this."
((still haven't heard if Glacier wants in or not, but playing like he has agreed to it.))
"Glacier, I'd like for you to take this $20 and run down to the local pet store. Get us some bird feed and a pair of bino's. Unless brute strength is required, I would like for you to be our eyes and ears to our surroundings... especially if Star gets called. In that event, I need for you to be ready with a distraction. Any questions? We're just looking around and talking right now... we'll plan the grab later. Grass, remember if someone knows something about the girl to gently probe if they know what happened to that security team that tried nabbing her. Oh yeah and Glacier? I'd like a 1.3 liter of Jostop's soy-soda please" Ain't gonna talk very well if I can hardly speak...
wait for response from group

What the frag is this... amatuer night? Of course he's not shooting straight... wouldn't need runners if it was just a walk in the park... heh... and that's ok... thats why we are who we are... and why we do what we do... it's called "expendable commodities". See Blazer? I still remember your ramblings... and not even an obituary... no one knows, and no one cares."
"I accept your proposal Mr. Johnson. Stands up and closes his jacket "What are our means of communication with you?" ((assuming he says something acceptable... a.k.a. anything that doesnt include "you can't" I turn and exit the cafe. I walk down the alley to Glacier.))
"Aight... the Johnson wants us to remove a girl from a park for roughly the next 36 hours. This is a photograph of her. The rest of the people hired to do this run will be leaving the cafe soon I hope "Sounds pretty cut and dry, I'm going to suggest we go stake out the park and strategize this. Sounds like their may be something a little supernatural about this... seems the girl has a way with birds. still thirsty... shoulda ordered another beverage... always get parched before a run...
I go to the front of the building and wait for the other runners to leave the cafe. When they emerge, I reccomend we move away from this establishment and go to a secure location near the park to observe the situation and strategize...

Noah leans back in his chair... "You were pretty specific on the time she need be removed from... what time does she need to be removed by?"
shoots a unimpressed look at the girl who just talked... Run negotiation rule number one lady... the more questions you ask, the more you're volunteering to do for the same pay...[/i]*sigh*and the morning was looking so nice today...

*hmmm... could just get Glacier to walk into the park... that'd clear it out pretty quick*
"That's it? I suppose you wouldn't be aware of any obstacles that might impede our mission..."
*1.5k for this??? somethings definately not right... calling in a team of 4??? hmmmm*

*phew... big guy... stay behind him... but for God's sake, don't follow him*
Noah almost breaks out in a laugh as he thinks about that... Looking into the cafe, He spots the gathering. *drek... they took my lemonade... oh well... not really a "tough guy" drink anyways*
Noah walks up to the group and nods to them. Looking behind him, he see's the elf that was eavesdropping in the alley. *hmmm, he can spy... if not well*
"I apologize for my tardiness... I had some business in the alley to take care of. Speaking of which, the two story building with arms and legs will not be joining us, but I will speak in his place"
*God knows if we let him speak, we'll only be offered a partial contract...*

Seeing the elf, I lower my voice and say to Glacier "drek, well it looks like Johnson didn't like my message... I'm gonna go back in and see what's going on... can you wait here? If you come along, you're gonna make people nervous, and thats not a good thing. That elf over there's watching us... keep an eye on him, ok mate?"
(whether or not Glacier complies, Noah moves to the edge of the alley, pausing only long enough to shoot an unamused look at the elf... *nothing beter to do than eavesdrop drekhead??* Once in front of the cafe, I'll assess the scenario.

((lowers his head.... *oh God.....*)) I'm gonna jot something down on a napkin real quick ((meet us behind the building 5 mins)) then stand, toss a fiver on the table and look over at Glacier shocked and suprised... "Glacier chum!!! what's happening!!! Long time mate... look, I already bought the new secure rebar rods to put into my driveway... lets get going then bud, glad you offered to mix the tar for me, saved me a bundle in rental equipment ((if at any pont he starts making comments about that's not why he's here, I'll improvise or interrupt. I'm betting the people around don't care what I say as much as getting him away from the cafe)) again, I appreciate your help on this bud... now we'll take the alley... it's a shortcut...
Once we get into the alley, I drop the mannerisms... "What the frag is wrong with you? You're scaring people and drawing attention to us!!! I lean against the wall waiting for the johnson to come meet us or send me a message.

"Excuse me Ms... can I get a little more sugar for my tea?" Looking out the window I'm thinking *oh great... if he's coming I suppose we can scratch off stealth and quiet... pretty much the two things I'm good at... sigh...* I glance towards the johnson and look for any signs of recognition... looks like we're gonna have to move this meeting outside...
(ooc: Quick scan of the room to see if anyone is paying attention to him apart from me so far... looking for a bodyguard or anyone watching us...)

I'll be driving my super sweet motorcycle, and carrying my wits (and a small knife in my boot) I wear a black non-gang related bandana over my head and wear a black coat. There are japanese tattoo's on my fingers, but apart from that there are few defining characteristics that anyone can see. As I approach the Johnson, I nod a notice of recognition and take a seat next to the table, but not at it yet. I'll order a lemon-soyade and wait for the other group members to arrive...
