Well. Shit has gone sideways tonight.

Well. Shit has gone sideways tonight.
Well. Shit has gone sideways tonight.
Shard
The group is split. Because suss as fuck pizza boy delivering pizza was also slightly suss Awakened guy at the zoo earlier.
Shard
(And, even though we didn't know it in character, somewhat suss pizza boy who had tried delivering pizza to the same address the night before.)
Shard
So. Half of the group stayed behind to keep an eye on the target we're supposed to be watching. The other half took off in the white van to follow suss as fuck pizza boy.
Shard
The half that stayed realized that things had been FAR TOO QUIET in the house for too long. So they managed to break in. Get alerted by our Rigger that there's another Rigger in the house. Take out a drone. Loudly. And have to run like hell because the cops are coming.
Shard
The group in the car eventually ran down the pizza boy (last session) and there was a lot of my character doing her best suburban elf mom impression. The other player offered their help to get him home, all that. So while they're deciding what to do (kidnapping is totally on the table), the guy...casts Improved Invisibility.
Shard
Basically means he's invisible from all physical senses. Including technology.
Shard
So, that ended in a physical chase where only one person could see the invisible guy (my girl) and was directing the other player character after the invisible guy.
Shard
Eventually, she ran into the guy. Who cast levitate on her. Which turned into a problem for HIM as the other player character, a female orc, grabbed on to the nearest solid thing to catch herself...him.
Shard
I failed at punching because nobody taught my girl how to throw a punch.
Shard
Our rigger had a timer attack a fitbit.
Shard
Which bricked the GM because she was just laughing at the entire idea.
Shard
Anyway. Suss as fuck pizza boy was very suss and the orc lady choked him out and he is actually being kidnapped and we have somebody to question.
Shard
Everything else went to hell because the dice gods decided to take the night off.
Lofwyr
Rumpel's a decker, not a rigger
Lofwyr
also yes that broke me and I'm so fucking sad I can't tell anyone about it because everyone I could tell is a player
Shard
Oh, right.
AnabelVIII
shadowrun: a game of trust issues
Shard
Look. He absolutely WAS suss as fuck, though.
Shard
The GM had a PB for him. So we knew going in he was important.
AnabelVIII
hey listen i agree
AnabelVIII
shadowrun wants you to be a paranoid bastard and thats why its good
AnabelVIII
paranoia is fun
Shard
Well, Cass is brand new to Shadowrunning.

Shard
Since I don't have any of the other players on my Plurk...she's an elf who was born the spring after Ryumyo took his flight. She demonstrated a talent for magic early and was actually a little relieved when Goblinization meant that people stopped looking at her ears as much.
Shard
Because the game takes place in 2078, that makes her about 66.
Shard
She wouldn't even BE doing this if she didn't have Oracle as a mentor spirit and then stumbled on a possible insider trading scam that turned into more.
Shard
And because Oracle IS her mentor spirit, she's chasing down that particular rabbit hole. And it's nearly gotten her killed once.
AnabelVIII
well that's what she gets for doing anything in the sixth world that isn't keeping her head down and getting by
Shard
Yeeeeep. She was a finance reporter on the trids, for the love of all that's holy. She has a husband and a wife and five kids together! (One of her kids is actually her talismonger.)
Shard
(That was the GM's suggestion.)
AnabelVIII
never answer the call to adventure in shaodwrun
AnabelVIII
it's actually just a call to a lifetime of ptsd
Shard
Probably for her family.
Shard
I mean. She's been a shadowrunner for all of three days. She's run over a guy and tried to punch him in the dick!
Shard
(She didn't actually try to punch him in the dick because I didn't have the dice for the -4 penalty. But I like to think that if it had been three successes, she could have punched him in the dick.)
AnabelVIII
she's off to a great start!
Shard
...Well, she's off to a start.
AnabelVIII
*great start
AnabelVIII
listen, is anyone dead who isn't supposed to be? no? fabulous job so far
Shard
Umm. Uncertain at the moment.
Shard
It's possible that the person we're meant to be watching is dead.
AnabelVIII
oh
AnabelVIII
bit of a foul up there chummer
Shard
Well, the rigger sneaked in the back way.
