Topic: Flesh & Blood - A Night City Adventure
Subject: Bright Lights
The 'Bright Lights' obstructed Vegas' vision as he tried to follow the progress of Chela as the Frank Sinatra look-alike kept the crowd buzzing with his rendition of 'That's Life'.
Although he was unable to make out details, Vegas noted that Chela was stopped by a giant muscle about the size of Casino, who examined the drinks and note that the waitress was bearing to Dog.
Due to the lights and playing to the crowd of Rat Packers as he finished the song, Vegas was unable to determine what had transpired, only realizing that Dog and his muscle were hastily vacating their table and heading for the door.
As soon as Vegas was able to end the song and bow out from center stage, the Suited Solo made his way towards Chela, to make certain that she was unharmed.
Satisfied that his Friendly Contact was indeed unmolested, he asked her as discreetly as possible:
"Is there anyone here who knows where Dog and his gang would hole up to lay low from any heat?"
Vegas waits for a response from Chela, before choosing to follow the departing hoodlums, or returning to the table to follow up on her response, plus check in with Casino and Fixer.
((OOC: Although Vegas will want to tail Dog and his muscle, he realizes that they will need the Taser and Grenades that they are waiting on for delivery from Starlight, before trying to locate the lair of Dog and his gang))

I provided a Link to Sammy Davis Jr singing 'Mr. Bojangles' to help you get a feel for the atmosphere at the Rat Pack Night Club while you are reading my New Post.

Topic: Flesh & Blood - A Night City Adventure
Subject: Bourbon on the Rocks
The Rat Pack Night Club | Night City Integrate | Midcity | UrbanZone - Day 2 (Saturday), 1:12 AM PST
Weather Conditions: High City (Thunderstorms, 15mph winds from the NE.) | Midcity (Rain, 10mph winds from the NE.) | Undercity (Fog and Rain, no winds.)
Air Quality Index: High City = 25 | Midcity = 42 | Undercity = 75 (masks required)
Three NCDs apiece (nine total) and Time. That's the expense to reach the Rat Pack Night Club. The tier within which the club resides is primarily shops, restaurants, and other clubs. The main street doesn't connect directly with a roundabout which means that you three had to hoof it down adjacent streets in order to reach your destination. The exterior of the building is done up in an art deco style with neon tubes about the windows and a damp, water-droplet covered canopy over the door. Robots are expensive and the domain of mega or neo corps. Night club owners still stick with meatsuits to guard their investment. That's who greets you. Two huge black bouncers with OldCybe apparent in their wired smartguns and optic visors. These two are vaguely familiar, and seem to recognize Vegas and Casino, so you're allowed in without delay and only a ten NCD covercharge instead of the usual fifteen.
The Rat Pack is hopping. Denizens of Night City dressed in zoot suits and evening dresses flit about the dance floor while a Sammy Davis, Jr. look-alike croons Mr. Bojangles from a brightly lit stage. About the dance floor many clubbers are nursing drinks in cushioned booths with neon light accents while conversing over the sultry sounds of Mr. Show Business. Through all of this it takes a moment for Vegas to spot Chela, and it takes you finding a booth in her area, and another couple of minutes for her to reach you, before you can strike up conversation.
"Well, hello there, Vegas!" Chela smiles sweetly as she quickly leans in and kisses your cheek lightly so as not to leave any of the bright red lipstick she's wearing on your skin. "Casino! It's good to see you two lugs. It's been a while." Her friendly brown eyes fall on Fixer and she makes a quick assessment. "Who's your dour friend, love? And what can I get you boys to drink. You look like you could use a stiff one."
It was at times like these (of the non-encounter with the Vamps) when Vegas was more than glad that Casino was his partner.
Although he was confident that he and his partner were well able to locate the fate of Jase on their own, the Frank Sinatra look-alike was glad to have Fixer included.
In fact, although he was reluctant to try to get through the High City security checkpoints with the weapons that he and Casino would refuse to surrender, he was also glad that Blossom and her Companions in this venture were willing enough to take the chance of somehow passing through the security checkpoints unhindered, so that they could penetrate the secrets of the Bartholomew School and possibly get a lead or clues to the mysterious disappearance of Jase.
Vegas was hoping that the beautiful Blossom would make it back unharmed, because he would enjoy the opportunity of showing her the sights and possibly getting a 'dance or two' with some sweet soft shoe, but business was business.
As they made their way along the streets towards the Rat Pack Night Club, the Suited Solo made some extra effort to thank Fixer for his help with the Creds for Transport; plus engage the Techie in some casual conversation in regards to the quaint atmosphere of the Rat Pack Night Club, all in an effort to 'break the ice' in such a manner as to allow Fixer to bond with the dynamic duo (drawing him in as an 'equal' partner) instead of leaving him feel as if he were the 'odd man out' in this venture.
Vegas also made sure that he sent a 'report' to Starlight via his Agent, informing The Fixer that the threesome were on their way to the Rat Pack Night Club, where they would gather some info and await her shipment of the Taser and 3 Grenades for his buddy Casino.
As soon as they arrived, he tipped his Fedora and did a bit of a 'soft shoe' as he greeted the two Burly Black Bouncers, engaging them in a short, but familiar, exchange of friendly banter and indicated that Fixer was with him and Casino, allowing for a discount on the cover charge for the Techie also.
Vegas was now in his element as the Frank Sinatra look-alike seemed to transform and blend in with all the Denizens of Night City dressed in zoot suits and evening dresses, flitting about the dance floor, while a Sammy Davis Jr look-alike crooned the familiar tune of Mr. Bojangles, one of Vegas' favorites.
Mr. Bojangles [link to Sammy Davis Jr]
Vegas alertly spotted his Contact named Chela, then led Casino and Fixer to a cushioned booth with neon lights, where the waitress was able to reach them and strike up a conversation, without arousing any suspicions, if there were any suspicious 'eyes' watching.
Vegas enjoyed the light kiss planted on his cheek, smelling the many fragrances adorning Chela that she had collected during her rounds this night, before answering her question:
"Well Love ... it has been way too long since we have seen your smiling face too."
Vegas looked longingly into her deep brown eyes before continuing the conversation:
"The Handle of my dour friend here is Fixer.
"Fixer, this is Chela.
"As for a stiff one ... make mine ... Bourbon on the Rocks!
"What about you boys?"
((OOC: Edited and Re-Written with Info Provided by Brom))
Vegas leaned forward towards Chela to enjoy a playful nibble at her right ear, while whispering huskily, "Hey Babe ... Any Choombas here at the Rat Pack into keeping company with young boys?"
Chela giggled, playfully pushing aside the Suited Solo's amorous advance, before returning another light kiss on his cheek with her own husky reply:
"Listen, sugar. You didn't hear this from me, but there's a cat with a pretty dark side that's resting his feet back at Table Nine. He goes by Dauntless Dog, and he's a player for the Mob as I hear tell. He's got a couple of Thicks with him that run interference should anyone try to get close, and they don't look like no carpetbaggers either. I've caught pieces of convo when setting him up and it would seem to me that his interests run a little young. He's cold as a naked Eskimo, Vegas-baby, and if I was you, I'd steer clear."
"What's the chance of you setting up a meet for me Darling?"
Chela tried to hide the alarm in her eyes and voice as the waitress placed a pen on the table in front of Vegas, along with a cocktail napkin.
"I suggest you buy Dog a White Russian to sweeten your request. I can deliver both his favorite drink and your message at the same time Honey!"
Vegas responded to her cue by writing a simple message with a flamboyant flair of the pen upon the cocktail napkin:
'Where would I find some fresh and untainted young boy?'
Chela leaned over discreetly to palm the napkin, while she asked Casino and Fixer for their drink order.
Meanwhile, the Sammy Davis Jr look-alike had vacated the microphone after a steady round of applause for his closing number.
The Stage Manager and MC, a fellow by the name of Tonell Dunn (who goes by the Handle of Dunn), waited for the applause to die down, before making a special announcement to the gathered throng of Rat Packers:
"Ladeez and Gentlemen ... We Have a Slight Intermission ... Before Our Next Performer Comes ... But I See an Old Friend and Crooner ... Who May Be Persuaded to Sing Us a Tune!"
Dunn motioned with both hands for the crowd to respond with a great round of applause to persuade the Unknown Crooner to accept the invitation that Dunn was offering!
As the Rat Packers looked around the room with quizzical expressions as to who Dunn was referring to, the MC played the crowd for all they were worth, before proceeding as the applause died down:
"VEGAS ... Come On Down ... Sing Us a Song!"
Slowly, the Frank Sinatra look-alike stood to his feet, excusing himself from the table, while playing along to the crowd at the urging of Dunn.
The Suited Solo did a slow soft shoe for the spotlight that was panning over the crowd, before joining Dunn at the microphone.
Vegas thanked Dunn and the gracious crowd of Rat Packers, before launching into his introductory monologue to break the ice, before singing an old Frank Sinatra Hit Song:
((OOC: Notice the Link Below and Frank Sinatra's comments to the audience before he begins singing, especially about performing in front of unarmed people! This is the approach Vegas is taking to his performance on stage at the Rat Pack Night Club))

Topic: The Evil Best Left Buried
Subject: Detect Magic
Vengador silently pondered the responses to his questions as they made their way to Crandel.
He was also content to remain silent when the town guard challenged them at the gate.
It was only after the group of adventurers had finally seated themselves at the tavern table, that Vengador chose to break his self-imposed silence, long enough to order a hearty bowl of stew, accompanied by a generous portion of bread and cheese, plus an ample tankard of ale to wash away the taste of the day.
"A Round of Wine for Me and My Comrades," bellowed the Cleric of Solanis, "And Also for the Man and His Lovely Lady at the End of Our Table!"
Vengador settled back into his self-imposed silence, content to devour the contents of the bowl set before him, while he alertly listened to the conversations around the table from the vantage point of his seat at the opposite end from the man and blonde lady.
He had chosen to buy wine for all his companions, plus the two strangers; rather than to argue with Talca that although he had been wrong at first about the approach of UnDead beings, the Dawnbringer had been correct in his warning about UnDead lurking in the mists!
So as the Dawnbringer quietly, for him, chewed his meal seemingly lost in thought, he bowed his head in prayer to Solanis, as Vengador began to cast a Detect Magic spell in the direction of the man and woman at the end of the table.
((OOC: In the light of the unsettling events of the day and the disturbing atmosphere of the light and fog in and around the town, Vengador casts Detect Magic to determine if there is more than meets the eye in regards to the man and woman at the opposite end of the table from where he is sitting ??? ))

Subject: Rat Pack or Bartolomew?
"If you think you can handle yourselves solo," Blossom said as she looked from Vegas to Casino. "And it looks like you do, then I'd like to pass on the dancing and make a run out to Bartholomew with the rest of the crew."
Blossom took the rest of the crew in. She already counting on Echo coming with her, but she figured she should ask the other runners. "You joy-boys up for a run at the school? Or would you rather dancing and romancing with Blue Eyes?"
Vegas tipped his fedora to Blossom and replied, "Casino and I can handle going solo ... or working as a team ... with one ... or more ... or all of you!"
He refrained from whispering another private discussion with his long-time partner, figuring that Casino was already on the same page about what was in their best interests to do to find Jase.
"So what will it be Partner," Vegas called out to Casino, "Rat Pack or Bartolomew?"

Hello Out There
For Future Reference, I would be interested in participating in another Cyberpunk Game with a New Vegas Setting if another GM would start one up!
I still have a character idea kicking around inside my skull that I almost pitched to Brom, before I decided to go with Vegas and his Frank Sinatra look alike appearance!
So if someone at the Inn ever decides to pitch a New Vegas setting for a Cyberpunk Game, then please contact me!
Thank You

Subject: Fools Rush In
Vegas stopped in his tracks as he heard Blossom exclaim, "Frak!" Blossom whispers and looks up sharply from her agent's screen. "We may have a problem, my little go-boys. Looks like students reside on campus."
The Frank Sinatra look alike back tracked from the door, removed his fedora from his head, holding it in his right hand, while extending his left arm with open palm in a chivalrous sweeping bow, then with a broad smile, he approached the beautiful Blossom and began crooning:
Fools Rush In [link to Frank Sinatra]
"'Romance is a game for fools', I used to say
A game I thought I'd never play
"'Romance is a game for fools', I said and grinned
Then you passed by and here I am
Throwing caution through the wind
"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love
My heart above my head
"Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me
Then I don't care
"Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
"When we met I felt my life begin
So open up your heart
And let this fool rush in"
Vegas bowed as his eyes remained fixed on Blossom, smiling a broad smile, before returning his fedora atop his head, before tipping his fedora once again to the beauty.
"Might as well join us at the Rat Pack Nightclub tonight my love ... for a little dance ... maybe a little romance ... and some much needed secret info ... that may help all of us ... after I talk to my Contact and get a feel for what may be going on behind the scenes!"
Vegas did a little 'soft shoe' routine dance to add a bit of emphasis, while trying to lighten the mood.
"Besides, it might be best to go to the Bartholomew School during the daylight hours.
"Echo and the Techie may be able to pose as prospective patrons for their 'child' ... distracting the authorities with the presence of an armed security squad ... namely the rest of us ... to lend credence to their cover of being wealthy and influential ... while you find a way to hack into the system and find some possible buried leads as to the disappearance of Jase ..."
Vegas paused for some more dramatic effect before concluding:
"Or ... you could take a rain check on the dance ... and romance ... by proceeding to the Bartholomew School with Echo ... plus whoever else you may trust to help you under the cover of darkness ... and try to hack their system ... while Casino and Me ... trip the light fantastic at the Rat Pack ... with anyone else who wants to poke around with us ... for any leads from the seedier side of life!"
Vegas began another 'slow soft shoe shuffle' somewhat aimlessly towards the door, as he awaited the response from the rest of the group of gathered mercenaries, as the Frank Sinatra look alike resumed humming the lyrics to 'Fools Rush In'.

Topic: Flesh & Blood - A Night City Adventure
Subject: Playing a Hunch
Vegas looked intently into the eyes of each of the assembled group members as he awaited their response to his 'plan of action' about taking a train to the Rat Pack Nightclub in Midcity.
Gently, Bloodbank pushed himself off of the wall he was leaning on. "Rat Pack Nightclub is fine by me," he began, addressing Vegas with a slight shrug. "Although, choomba, while I can certainly understand that there isn't a whole lot of trust to go around currently, it might be a good start to building some if you and your large friend decided to include us all in secret speculations." Bloodbank kept his tone friendly, holding his arms out a little wide in a small gesture indicating the entire group. "We're all a team, after all!
Vegas responded to Bloodbank with a courteous tip of his striped fedora, "Well now Choomba ... I will gladly fill you all in on our secret speculations ... if it is necessary ... and when it is necessary ... but now ... it is not necessary!"
Ghlahn smirked at the complete lack of trust going on. "Look, I'm perfectly fine not being friends, but maybe we could all be included in your little chatty catchy circles, yeah?" The sniper slung his rifle over his shoulder and leaned against the wall as smugly as humanly possible.
"Like I said Snipe," Vegas responded to the smug sniper, "you will be included in my chatty catchy circle with Casino ... if it is necessary ... when it is necessary ... but right now ... it is not necessary!"
"Well friend, if I may call you that Mr Casino, I have been brought up that each person provides their way. I will not ask you to pay for my tools or ammo. If you are worried about me ditchin' out on the run, then I most likely wouldn't even be here. A runner with a bad name aint gonna get a next job."
At first Casino did not reply giving Mathis a long hard look taking in his weapons and clothing, then he finally spoke.
"No you may not and the names Casino, not mister, not sir, just Casino. As for "ditching" on us during the run, well I guess we'll see. I'll run with anyone if the money's good but I only trust one of the people in this room, I'm kinda paranoid like that."
Looking over the rest of the people in the room and their faces.
"I'm sure we all feel the same, this run's not about friendship, its about money. We don't need to be friends to get this boy back, but we do need to work as a team. Teammates help other team members as needed and I'll do my best to do that. As for Vegas and I's 'secret' chat it was about our finances for the taser and my grens, that's it."
A look to Ghlahn........
"As for 'non-combat' roles, choomba, there is no such thing in this bizz, everyone fights as needed."
Vegas smiled at the reply of his partner in regards to the necessity of friendship and money.
"Casino summed up our chatty chat secret speculations," stated the Suited Solo matter of factly, "It was necessary for the two of us to privately discuss the matter of pooling our finances and why ... which was necessary for the two of us ... seeing as we have worked together for a number of years ... but not necessary for the rest of you to listen in on the necessity of our private financial speculations!"
Vegas slowly pulled his hand gun from the restraints of his shoulder holster, checked each chamber slowly and methodically, before returning it back to the shoulder holster.
Then the Frank Sinatra look alike nodded to his partner Casino, while he waited for any further responses from the gathered group of Edgerunners.
Bloodbank broke the silence, "I have to admit, though, making a stop by Bartholomew's does not sit too well with me. While I can't think of a reasonable alternative yet, I believe that any one of us approaching this school would raise all sorts of alarms that would defeat the purpose of 'running quiet'; especially if our kidnappers have someone to keep an eye on the school or someone on the inside. Besides that, I don't believe any reputable school would share any information with a complete stranger about one of their students. On top of that, tomorrow is Saturday, and I highly doubt there would be anyone there to talk to."
With a small, apologetic grimace, Bloodbank turned his head to Blossom. "What exactly did you have in mind, regarding the school?"
Vegas leaned forward ever so slightly, intently listening with keen interest to how the young lady would respond to Bloodbank's question:
As the boys seemed to set in on a plan, Blossom looked up from her agent. "Echo, what did we land ourselves in here?" she sighed. Looking at Vegas, "Sure you can't just call your contact and save us all the trip, Blue Eyes? I like dancing as much as any girl, but this job's going to require me to get on Bartholomew campus if I hope to crack Jase's school record and maybe see if they got some video of this kid just 'disappearing'. The night's young and I'd rather hit the campus when the kiddos aren't in school."
"Maybe we can do both though? I mean, Vegas, you and your friend here could hit the club and connect with your contact, while the rest of us hit Bartholomew?"
"Well now Blossom," the Suited Solo smiled and tipped his fedora to her, "all dancing aside ... calling my Contact is entirely out of the question ... it is necessary to speak in person ... plus there is the matter of collecting the Taser and Grenades from Starlight ... so it is necessary for Casino and myself to go to the Rat Pack Nightclub right away.
"What you propose is reasonable enough ... me and Casino hitting the club ... while the rest of you hit Bartholomew ... but I am 'Playing a Hunch' ... so it is necessary for the two of us to go to the Rat Pack Nightclub as soon as possible ... I would rather the rest of you join us ... but as long as our rail fare is paid in advance to get Casino and me to the Rat Pack ... plus to a suitable rendezvous point ... then you are all free to do what you think is necessary ... because what is necessary ... is to find Jace as soon as possible!"
Vegas waits a few moments for any further response, then gathers his gear and heads for the door.

Topic: Flesh & Blood - A Night City Adventure
Subject: We All Have Bills Or Debts
Vegas listened to the exchange between Casino and James as he consulted his Agent, before addressing the concerns raised by his partner.
James thought about Casino's concerns for a moment before responding, "Well friend, if I may call you that Mr Casino, I have been brought up that each person provides their way. I will not ask you to pay for my tools or ammo. If you are worried about me ditchin' out on the run, then I most likely wouldn't even be here. A runner with a bad name aint gonna get a next job.
"My main concern is I've got bills to pay, and if we decide we're not able obtain the kid, then this job only pays 5 c's. Transpo, whether public or private for a group this size could cut into that a decent chunk. Now, if you don't have the cash up front, then I'm sure something can be worked out. Cause if we don't even get the info on the boy, then no pay day."
He was not trying to do anything the sort of blackmail, but James would not pay the way for everybody here. All his bills for the moment were paid, but it was just a few weeks before his agent service was due. He needed the cash probably just as bad as anybody else here.
"We all have bills or debts," interjected the Frank Sinatra lookalike, "so it is best to pool our resources to find Jace, before Saint Nick or some other group finds him before we do!"
Then looking to his partner Casino with a good natured smile and slapping the pistol secured in his shoulder holster, he added, "I gotcha covered partner!"
Vegas consulted his Agent once more before addressing the group of assembled Edgerunners:
"It is nearly midnight and the Bartholomew School is only open during daylight hours.
"I have a contact at the Rat Pack Nightclub who may be able to provide some answers to a couple of questions I just discussed with Casino.
"According to my Agent, a Groundcar will get us there in 4.5 hours.
"Using the AV/Gyro will take us 45 minutes.
"Or the Maglev + Walking will take us 1 hour 10 minutes.
"Going by Train + Walking will take us 2 hours 30 minutes.
"Final option is a Bus + Walking will take us 6 hours.
((OOC: Brom has listed all the Fees on Page 8 of the Q&A and the Train seems to be the most economical to me at the present time, but I am open to suggestions))
"Starlight said it would take a couple hours to acquire the Grenades, so I am alerting her to make the delivery to the Rat Pack Nightclub.
"Like I said before, I got a contact there that should be able to pass me some information. I prefer not to be flying blind into this caper!
"Should give Blossom some time to access her info on the fly in the comfort of the Rail, where we all can get better acquainted.
"The night is still young and the Rat Pack Nightclub should be jumping by the time we get there!"
Turning to James the Suited Solo added, "Okay Fixer, the cost of the Train to Midcity is .50 NCD/station ... so we can take up a collection to cover your costs!
"Unless any of you other Chambattas have a better plan!"
((OOC: Not a Question, just a Statement. I am giving James or any of the others the option of choosing a better mode of transportation at a higher rate. Bus just seems too slow!))

"Listen Slick," Starlight leans forward and places her hands flat on the table, a sure sign that the negotiation is over. "I'm barely making any dough as it stands—less than the lot of you as a matter-of-fact. So, things are. Savvy?"
Vegas tipped his fedora to Starlight and smiled broadly, before handing over some Night City Dollars to pay for the requested weapons.
"Can't blame a High Roller for shaking the dice for better odds," the Frank Sinatra look alike bantered good naturedly. "Just let me know where we can pick up the merchandise."
((OOC: The following 'Private Conversation Between Vegas and Casino' is for their ears only and also so Brom can Private Message any info as a result of what Vegas is discussing with Casino))
In a few moments Vegas joined Casino for a 'Private Conversation' where the two partners could exchange some info and keep an eye on the other Edgerunners, while positioning themselves at a better vantage point in case any unexpected company burst into the room to make things interesting.
Vegas whispers to Casino out of ear shot to the others: "I noticed that Starlight let it slip that Saint Nick is a 'She' ... Jace might have been abducted by his father ... or maybe from some High City corporate rival ... gonna be a bit more unpredictable if the 'She Saint Nick' gets impatient and takes matters into her own hands to get her boy back ... like a She Bear robbed of her Cub ... nobody will be safe!"
Vegas rubbed his chin thoughtfully before adding, "Might also be that her boy Jace was nabbed to fill an order for fresh meat as a Joy Boy. Who do we know that we can contact to find out if any fresh faces are being trafficked for the Preds who prey on little boys?"
((OOC: Will wait on any info from Brom before proceeding to address what to do next as a group, just wanted to get this Private Conversation out of the way first))

She left the how of it to me, and I figured that the more professionals working together as a team, the more likely a successful run. If you don't like the numbers, or you're feeling a little squeamish about the validity of the gig, you're welcome to skip on out."
"Well," Casino continued. "We're hoping for some type of taser in case the boy gives us a hard time and three more grenades for my launcher as I see out of the seven of us I'm the only one packing artillery. Vegas is sending you the list now."
As Casino finished, the fedora wearing solo pressed "SEND" on his agent and the fixer stopped spinning her's long enough to view the screen. "High explosive, frag, and smoke?" She looked up at the big man from underneath her groomed eyebrows. "You forgetting the whole concept of running silent, choomba?"
"Better to have them and not need them, than need the damn things and not have them," came the gruff response.
"It's your coin," Starlight slipped the agent back inside her jacket. "The grenades will likely take me a couple of hours to conjure up. They're a little black. The taser'll be a piece of cake and will cost one hundred ten Night City Dollars. I'll give you a deal on the grenades—against my better judgment. One fifty for the high explosive, seventy-five for the frag, and forty-five for the smoke. You're looking at a total of three hundred and eighty paid in advance."
Vegas watched and listened as Starlight responded to Casino's questions about the size of the group and how the Fixer was figuring that several professionals would assure getting the job done.
Casino leaned over and whispered to Vegas, who in turn agreed with his partner, before hitting ‘SEND' on his Agent to submit the request for the purchase of some more heavy hardware, pus the Taser.
As the Fixer bantered with Casino about ‘forgetting the whole concept of running silent', Vegas silently pondered something else that Starlight had let slip in her previous answer to Casino:
'So , Saint Nick is a She , Might Complicate Things More Than Usual , Better keep this info under my fedora , I can discuss things with Casino later , When we have some privacy ,'
Vegas tipped his hat to Starlight, smiling and good naturedly haggling for a better price, or a two for one deal on the Tasers, noting that a stun approach would be better suited in some situations, rather than storming in with guns blazing.
"Gotta keep some coin for the public transit , otherwise ... I may have to go 'clubbing' and sing a few songs for the dollars to help locate Jace ... or just knock off some Booster Gang on the way."
Vegas hands Starlight some Night City Dollars to help make up the difference with the acquisition request, allowing for his buddy Casino to have 25 Night City Dollars of his own for transit costs.
((OOC: Vegas will keep the 25 Night City Dollars if Casino is unable to spend the Cash for Transit as I am not quite clear as to whether or not we are able to spend Cash for Transit or if we have to use Credit from an Agent and my buddy Casino does not have an Agent ))
"Okay Starlight. Just give me the Taser when you get back and hand the Grenades to Casino. We will wait here and prepare."
Vegas turns to the rest of the professionals to addresses their current situation.
"I realize that waiting another couple of hours for the Grenades for Casino may seem like a waste of time ... especially with the unknown fate of Jace hanging in the balance ... but I have been down this road before where Casino did not have any Grenades ... and it nearly cost us our lives ... pinned down like rats in a corner with no escape ... but we were fortunate enough to have two Booster Gangs burst upon the scene with guns blazing ... trying to scrag each other ... eliminating the Gang that got caught in their cross hairs ... that had us pinned down with no means of escape."
Vegas lets his words sink in before continuing.
"Might be best to get some rest, while we wait for the Grenades to be delivered.
"Blossom could access her gadgets from here and find out what she can about Jace.
"All of us going up to High City to that Bartholomew School might raise some red flags regarding security issues ... especially with all the fire power we are carrying.
"Snipe you got any suggestions?"
((OOC: CAPTIN has not actually stated his character's name in game, unless it is inferred that he did when introductions were made ???))
"Blossom ... Go ahead and tell us how you want to shake this out ... You said something about going to the Bartholomew School for some interviews and answers ... but it may not be wise for all of us to go there ... especially with the security issues in High City.
"I refuse to go without Casino ... and I know that Casino refuses to go without the Grenades!"
((OOC: Vegas is waiting for some responses))
"Just because Jace disappeared from High City does not mean that he is hidden there! Chances are somebody has him in Mid City ... or here in Under City somewhere!
"We need to agree upon a plan of action! Plus we may need to pool our Night City Dollars to cover the Transit Fees for everyone ... unless Blossom can manipulate her gadgets to put some Transit Tokens into our accounts?"
((OOC: Not sure if that can even be done or if we even have any accounts to access from our Agents ... and my buddy Casino has no Agent at the present time!))
"Your Call Blossom ... Unless There Are Better Ideas?"
