[OOC] Printed guns, melded metal - An experimental GM-less Cyberpunk RP

[Hekazu]

My schedule is not giving in for the weekend. I'll throw in a few plot details I've been thinking of once I have time to type it all up!

[Hekazu]

Right, that took much longer than I had expected. Anyhow, what I have in mind for something that could happen in the near future is them finding out some hints about the megacorporation who got involved with Lt. Davison's business. The people displeased with his little side earning scheme.

My suggestion is to actually keep the name Murkywater Security for the bunch, and if one has extra details they might know the man who brought the ultimatum to the officer himself. Or at least what the man looks like. Hints at the perfectly ordinary security corporation who in no way is a secret private military organisation with an extensive R&D department, not whatsoever. Their messenger would be a dark skinned man in a trench coat and a beanie, both bearing the corporation emblem as dimly embroidered decoration. Of course, this is but my suggestion, but I am rather fond of it. More corporations being involved wouldn't be too big of a wonder though. Especially a rival one protecting the officer is very much an option I've thought of.

Post to come tomorrow. I am very sorry for the delay.

[13org]

Will have my post done tomorrow! :-)

[SleepingSilence]

I'll try to post something in the next couple of days.

Edit: Didn't expect to be gone all day/yesterday. So I'll likely start writing something now, and maybe I'll have something by tomorrow?

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Likewise, I will likely have something the next few days to move the scene along for my own character. That said, I intend to just make it an "up and go" type scene. Nothing too evolved or in-depth on the matter.

[Hekazu]

As for why I haven't posted yet, I prefer to give other characters a chance to progress their own things before taking over the whole RP for the arc we have going with @13org.

[SleepingSilence]

I've just gone off in a different direction. Though in my next post, since I didn't want to wait another day to post something. (I ended up deleting whatever little I wrote yesterday, because I wasn't feeling it.) I'm thinking about stopping somewhere to eat or elsewhere as a pit stop, just to add some extra complications and tension in my character's narrative.

@Hekazu You're still in a diner with @13org, even though I'm not entirely sure the location was specified in terms of distance from the ongoing chaos. I'll have to check again. What do you expect to do in the near future? Want some extra drama to kick in the front door? But not really, maybe. :P

[Terminal]

I will post sometime tomorrow. My interest in this has been waning due to an apparent lack of activity, but I think in all fairness I have been contributing to that issue as much as anybody else. So from now on, I am going to try and get response posts up within one to two days. Hopefully that should revive my impetus to write.

@SleepingSilence

Not a diner actually, a bar if it can be called such. A drinking hole, at the very least. No distance to any other scene of action has been specified, other than the fact it is quite near to a river. In the near future, they'll probably wrap up their talk and look into what's next, splitting ways or going at it in a group. If you want to come in kicking through doors though, you gotta remember you are busting into a gang hideout, more or less. With police grade weapons, a definite numbers advantage and all that. Exercise caution.

[Terminal]

Post delayed to account for Harbinger's addition to the scene. Working on something new.

[13org]

@Hekazu

Will have my post done tomorrow ! :-)

[KaiserElectric]

Is this open to new players? Looks fun ^^

[Hekazu]

@KaiserElectric

Absolutely! Come on in, we have…… Hm, it is probably for the better I don't list all that. Either way, as far as I am concerned you are welcome to join us.

[Hekazu]

@SleepingSilence
So, were you looking to join me and @13org for something or will you be resuming in doing your own thing for now? If you want to pop in we should probably discuss some plausible scenario for that to happen before I post something on the contrary :P

[SleepingSilence]

Been very distracted. >.<

@Hekazu Sure. How'd you imagine the scenario going down? Where might you want to place yourselves/anyone else in the scene? I don't want to base that just on posts made, since it may take a little bit for my character and the rest to arrive.

I'm already under the assumption the bar is visible/noticeable from the outside and if/or not it is a front to something else, you've already shown/noted that it was dangerous, but every personality wouldn't really worry about that. Though I wonder, how anyone would react to my character still being pretty bloody. (Can always have clothes thrown over them and wash up, assuming the bathroom works.)

[Hekazu]

Depends. The characters are currently considering heading out, but Croaks could just as well have them stay at the bar for a while longer while he preps some stuff. "Bloody bloodhounds trying to pass off as people" as the usual gangster might put it would have a harder time getting in though, so it might take Scarlett a fair bit of time to make it either way. What comes to me most naturally would be to arrange their meeting elsewhere at a later time. Which is why I wanted to chat about it, to have everyone be on the same page.

[SleepingSilence]

@Hekazu Well it could be made that we arrive at that bar, just the moment you two decide to leave. So that it becomes a more realistic place. Its a story trope as old as time. So maybe I can make a mention of seeing you in a passing glance/vice versa. So you can post something without worry, and you both can add that you see my 'entourage' or not.

I guess I'd just need to know if there's anything particular/unique about the bar. I have the kind of noisy characters around, that they'd get into trouble right away. (Which is sort of what I want/how I'm progressing my own characters story.)

And if its closed because of the characters absence, would it have anything to stop intruders? I wouldn't put it past these characters to do something like that.

Edit: (Sorry, if I'm being waited on. I'll post something in next few days.)

[Hekazu]

Details about the bar, coming right up @SleepingSilence.

Well, first things first, while The Colonel's Corner Amphibians do hold public relations there, it is also a bar in their absence. A bar with significantly less lead at the ready to be certain, but a bar nonetheless. Said place is not exactly in the clearest of views, just some back alley establishment that actually manages to avoid most of the rabble thanks to that. And they do benefit of the little symbiosis with the gang, what with them helping keep things orderly.

Then for those who might or might not quit. Whether Croaks and Nina make it away before the Reapers arrive, Ribby and most of the gang would still remain. Not to mention the chromed bouncer and autoturret at the entrance making sure people actually leave their guns outside. Might not deter a hitsquad, but works on the usual Combat Zone folk. Bloody two-legged bloodhounds though? That would be a peculiar case for sure. Not what they are used to at all.

Looking to post tomorrow, by the way @13org.

[SleepingSilence]

I was planning on working on a post yesterday/today. But I had a friend come over for the weekend. So apologies for the delay. But I will post something after he goes home. And yesterday my expensive headphones broke and I had to go through a decent amount looking for my warranty and getting that settled.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

For @Terminal, I should have something come this Sunday or Monday, whichever depending upon the availability of the internet exceeding more than a few minutes. Either way, now you should be aware and the wait should be none much longer.
