Subject: Food, glorious food ...
Echo follows the others into the back room, stopping for a moment to watch the news clip with a smirk. They really didn't have a good likeness of the solo at all, she thought, he's got more handsome features than that. Not that she was really looking ... in depth. Just, you know, noticing.
She waits for the two men to finish their orders, then she adds her own to the list. "I'll have a double cheeseburger with everything on it, a basket of fries with cheese, and a double chocolate shake", she says, sitting across from Ghlahn, happy to be sitting finally and rubbing her injured knee under the table. Still feeling embarrassed by her fall, she has no desire for anyone to mention her injuries or her slip, so she covertly checks them herself, seeing what range of motion she has in her wrist as well while they wait for Vegas and Casino to have heir chat, and for their food to arrive. She was ravenous!

I also have a Roll20 account, so that's great.
It would be greatto do a monthly meetup, but I imagine it may be difficult to organize all of us to one time.
Not impossible, just difficult.

Subject: Ouch ouch OUCH!
[As the light from the AV-4's spotlight spills into the tunnel, Echo collapses on top of him and the two of them crash to the cement and muddy, debris filled waters in a heap of limbs and clothing.]
Pain filling her senses from hitting her knee on the ladder, then wrist and forearm from her less-than-graceful landing atop the lovesick crooner, Echo quickly rolled off the solo. Muttering a weak apology, the embarrassment made her skin flame with the feeling, and she was grateful the tunnel was dark to hide the shame she felt. In her haste, she had completely forgotten how slippery the ladder was, and now Vegas and her brused and abused limbs were paying for it.
"You guys sure do know how to get down a ladder quickly, Are you alright?" Bloodbank says to them, trying to lighten the situation.
Testing her weight on her injured knee, Echo carefully got to her feet and started moving down the tunnel, stopping briefly to answer the medtech as she passed. "I'm fine," she lied, "but you should see to Vegas - he didn't have as soft of a landing as I did. But hurry, they may yet find our secret escape."
Trying not to limp, Echo made her way down the tunnel a hundred yards or so, taking up a position near Ghlahn.
"See anything we should be worried about on this end?" she asks the sniper, gingerly rubbing her injured wrist and arm.
(OOC - She will follow whomever takes the lead, not trusting her direction sense at the moment, trying to mind-over-matter and pain remaining.)

Subject: Are we ready?
As Echo accepts the card from Fixer, she looks at Blossom waiting for her to back away. Seeing her in as safe of a position as possible, she looks over to Bloodbank and nods, whispering with a small grin, "Here's where the fun begins."
Inserting the newly-made keycard into the slot, Echo silently asked the Fates for fortune on this part of their mission. She really didn't want to kill anyone, but would do so if her companions were in danger. Also, she'd like to have a long, serious three-way talk with those that took the boy and her rather large survival knife.
(OOC - if all is well with the keycard she'll do what follows)
Echo hears a small click and the door open just enough to not relock itself. She puts her arm up to signal the others down the hall that she's going in, and ever so slowly opens the door just enough to see in a little.
(OOC - if empty she'll move in slowly, checking about for anyone inside and clear the area, then bring in the others. If there is folks in there, she will whisper to Bloodbank, "Signal the others, security is in the house! Now cover me!" and advance into the room, weapon trained on those inside saying in a rather arrogant tone, "Good morning! I'm sorry to disturb your morning coffee and vittles, but we need a few things from your tech here, and if you behave, we'll get out of your hair damn quick without having to make you go to a med center for new kneecaps. Savvy?")

Subject: Still a bit flustered . . .
Echo shook her head as they hurried down the hallway after Blossom, the netrunner's words about needing to get to the security office yet ringing in her ears. When did she let herself get so flustered, so off her game? Was allowing herself to have feelings for these new friends making her a liability? Was her protective instincts going to get one or more of them hurt, or killed? She mentally scolded herself fiercely, hoping that her fears would not become reality.
When they arrived at the door, Fixer went to work getting a card for the reader, while "Monsieur Love" came close to Echo.
"Guard Blossom when Fixer gains access to this office!" he whispers, "I will stand guard out here and cover your backs!"
Nodding affirmative, Echo simply says, "Copy that," and moves over to the door by Blossom, determined to do her job properly, perhaps a bit quieter this time.

Subject: I was a tad loud . . .
~~~Now standing over the fallen dust of the security construct is a chrome samurai with glowing green eyes peering through its grimacing mempo, katana in hand. Blossom folds her bag and slings it over her shoulder as she rises from her crouch. "I'm fine," she says in a somewhat disappointed tone. "But we've made a lot of noise and I don't imagine we'll be sitting in calm waters for long."~~~
Echo lowers her weapon and catches her breath, staring at the samurai Blossom created to finish the construct. Feeling embarrased at her knee-jerk reaction that stemmed from surprise mixed with a healthy dose of fear, she turns to the little Asian.
"I wish I had known you could do that," she said to Blossom in a joking tone. "Then I wouldn't have tried so hard to make it Swiss cheese."
Straightening up and taking a long, steadying breath, Echo agreed with the netrunner, sheepishly apologizing. "Yeah, sorry about the noise, but it startled me, and I reacted with my gut. At least it ain't gonna attack anyone else."
~~~"Time to Shine!" exclaimed the Frank Sinatra look-alike. "Blossom will do her thing to get the info we need to complete this mission! Time for us all to do what we do best and earn our coin! Fan out and stay alert for any thing or any one who may try to stop Blossom from gaining access!"
Echo watched Vegas quickly take point, and then tip his hat to the netrunner and blowing her a kiss, saying, "Go for broke!"~~~
Echo followed the lovestruck crooner into the hallway, standing vigilant and ready to make more noise if need be, but silently hoping her failure to keep calm wouldn't cost them.

Subject: Oh, HELL no!!!
"It's a construct!" Blossom warns, immediately digging into her bag. "Don't let it touch you."
Echo jumps back just in time, the freaky metal demon almost catching her. Her sub-machine gun already pointing its direction, she reacted purely by instinct learned from so much time with the clan. Her heart pounding in her ears, her blood on fire, she was determined to protect her newly found , friends? Yes, that's what she would call them now. Not quite family, but much more than compatriots. A stream of street obscenities pouring from her mouth, she fired upon the construct practically emptying the magazine while putting herself between Blossom and the beast.
(OOC - if that holds it back or destroys it, she will advance on it. If not, she'll try to shoo the others out of the office to put the door between them.)

Gah!!
I wholeheartedly apologize for my lack of posting. I'm in the process of preparing to move *next weekend*and didn't have a new place to go to, so stress, anxiety, and depression had taken over.
I now have a plan (staying at a friend's for a few months), and now just need to finish packing my house.
I hoping the move this time will be without any breaking of ankles, or other parts for that matter 
I'll do what I can for after next post as well.
I do really love this game!

Subject: Well, poo!
I was imagining a earpiece/walkie-talkie kind of thing we each had. Bugger.
Umm, do we have any way to communicate with each other? If not, I'd just get us in and the door closed, hopefully before the watch comes by.
So y'all, we need to get some comms soon!!

Subject: We're in!
"Fixer felt a body push up against his backside from where he was working. "Patrol coming—help him get us in if you can. We don't have any time to lose." Fixer could pick out whose voice with his engaged hearing.
"Have just little bit of faith if you would," Fixer spoke back as the carddecryoter was nearly finished with its job. "I can hear you just fine myself."
The door makes a soft click and jerks inward a hair. "It is done," he states matter of factly. A single swift movement tucks the card decrypter in the inside pocket of his jacket. His near numb hands gripped the pistol grip of his Uzi and Fixer moved through the door to survey the initial bit of interior of the building."
Echo grins, mentally giving Fixer a hi-five and ushers the others in, carefully shutting the door quietly.
(OOC - provided we're in safely) Into her comm she hisses quietly to Ghlahn, "We're good, we're in!"
To the others she says, keeping her voice low, "Keep still and low till they pass, we don't need to add any more to our little shindig."
She keeps watch unobtrusively out the window on the door, waiting for the guards she knows are coming to pass, keeping the others quiet.
(OOC - if they pass and we're alone, I'll turn to Blossom) "Ok Chicka, now it's your show, wha do you need from us besides an escort to the security room?"

Subject: Rut-roh . . .
"Standing to the southeast of where Fixer is working, Echo surveys the dark and blustering grounds, her head on a swivel. The lights of the nearby slums don't reach the compound leaving most of it in darkness which suits the edgerunner's situation just fine. Perhaps it is just a matter of luck, or perhaps it is because she is really that good; whatever the reason, as the small masked woman looks to the northwest, past where Vegas is standing watch, she catches a glimmer of lights off the dancing, convulsing leaves. Brief in its life, fleeting in its warning, she instinctively knows that someone is coming from that direction and with the Sports Hall between their position and Ghlahn, there is no support available from the sniper. She doesn't know how long they have, but she's absolutely positive that the Chairman hasn't noticed, hasn't received the warning nature has given her."
Echo quickly motions Blossom to get up near the door and Fixer, whispering, "Patrol coming - help him get us in if you can. We don't have any time to lose".
Turning to the crooner, Echo gets closer to him and says, her voice still quiet, "Hey Songbird - there's a patrol coming, I'm sure of it, so you'd best keep that tune in your head before you get us caught", and motioned him to take cover closer to the door, pointing in the direction she saw the light.
She actually delighted in the cat-and-mouse game - the rush and the adrenaline it caused, having played at such things as a child, but as an adult the stakes were much higher, and she wasn't overly fond of what would follow if they were caught. Once Vegas had moved closer (OOC - assuming he does move where she indicates), Echo takes up a rear defense stance with as much cover as she can muster, feeling both excited and terrified, hoping Ghlahn was moving to a place where he had a view of them in case things went south.

Subject: Oh boy . . .
"That door will get us inside," Blossom points towards the door at the back of the admin building that Echo had seen and without hesitation, the group rushes towards it.
"Let me have a look at it, I can get us in it," Fixer spoke up and moved to the front of the group in an assumption that the door would be locked.
As Fixer moved to work the door, Echo turned to keep watch just in case someone had seen them cross the schoolyard. She didn't want to take any chances or be sloppy in her work. She hoped the man would be quick, she wanted to get out of the rain. She was wet, a bit chilled, and just this side of cranky, but she needed to take care of an issue weighing on her mind, and keeping her off-point.
Briefly turning to her, Echo swallows with a bit of nervousness and whispers to Blossom, "Yes, I was private school once, but that was a long time ago. If we get through this and can have a sit-down, I'll tell you a story of a rich girl turned street."
Echo hoped the netrunner would recognize her subtle offer of friendship. She really liked the little Asian, and she reminded her so much of a friend she once had, back when her life was much, much different. Putting her musing aside, she focused on the job at hand, glad to have made that step.

Subject: A possible idea?
Turning to Blossom, Echo says with a determined look, "I may have an idea. The device you use to scramble the cameras - is it something that just plugs into a port and press a few buttons? Because I'm done with sitting her gettin' colder and wetter, I need to move. I will sneak to the admin building, you boys watchin' my six", she says, nodding to the guys, "and I'll hook up the interference."
(If she can quickly learn the device, then she will say the following and sneak her way across the compound, formulating a story of early morning walk if she is caught by the guards. If she cannot work the device w/o Blossom, she will sneak to the admin building, look for an unlocked door/window, signal the others, and then go cause a distraction worthy of her school knowledge)
She removes the large guns from her shoulders and hands them and their respective ammo to Ghlahn, saying, "I know we're not close pals, but we're in this together and I'd be much obliged if you'd hang onto these for me. Use 'em if you gotta", she added with a wink.

Subject: So very sorry!
Real life has crept in and smacked me this past week - my roommate moved out while I was on vacation and won't respond to any attempt to contact him. We have 2 months left on the lease, and he's skipped out on it so I've been dealing with that fiasco. He was a close friend, and it's a sad thing to lose that friendship. I hope you all can forgive my absence.
I truly love playing Echo, and would love to continue.

Yep, I just had an attack of foot-in-mouth disease lol.
Brom, if you have a chance, a quick synopsis of what Echo might have experienced would be great, tho I've got a fairly good idea.
Guys, I'm all for being sneaky across the compound. The fact that we now smell like the sewers may throw the dogs off a bit, so that could work in our favor. Let's get to the admin building and deal with interactions as they come up.
WE know there's a way thru the sewers, but they won't. Well, until they get close enough to smell us lol.

Subject: Unless there's a better idea?
Echo thinks for a moment, then add her input. "It's still early, so we could just sneak across to the admin building, hopefully while folks are still sleeping. Most of the kids I went to school with couldn't wait to snooze in on the weekend. Only thing is," she says, turning to Blossom, "can you knock out the roving eyes to cover our way there? Or do we erase it after?"
Echo waits for the others answers, getting a bit antsy to be moving out of the putrid sewer.

Subject: A tall order . . .
Echo looks up at the camera, judges the height, turns to Blossom with a mischevious grin and asks, "You have any of that bubblegum you like to chew left, Chika? I have an idea . . . "
(If an affirmative) Echo thanks her with a rare full smile, and pops the gum in her mouth. She then turns to Bloodbank, saying "Care to give a short girl a lift, Choomba?", indicating the camera above their heads.
(OOC - if yes, she'll hug the wall on his shoulders, pulling herself up as far as she can reach, and stick the now soft and well chewed gum on the camera lens.)
Once back down, she will say, "Now we won't get seen going in, let's just hope our mayhem hurries. No tellin' how well they watch these cameras."
