Alright I am assuming James was AFK since I never saw him post

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:42:38 PM)
But we can do this with you three

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 10:43:11 PM)
I am pestering him, he will return at some point

yeah he is lol *laughs*

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 10:44:20 PM)
oh hi james

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 10:44:21 PM)
that's five for five!

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:44:33 PM)
To remind on my style I do all I can to keep dice light as I think dice are the enemy of RP. Now lately have had some players complaining about me because "he expects us to say what we are doing and not roll dice and stuff" so I wanted to be clear there can be rolls but it will be as seldom as possible

Esmae Daniels (Feb 5, 2011 10:45:13 PM)
OMG! Your actually making people..... Role Play?! How could you?! >.>

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 10:45:13 PM)
I am all good with leaving the rolls out of it as much as possible and focussing on the drama etc

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 10:45:46 PM)
I'm just good

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:46:39 PM)
Good I had some players really unhappy with me friday because I asked what their character was going to do instead of telling them to make a roll and I do not want to make people unhappy

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 10:47:11 PM)
Nasty :) You won't make any of us unhappy, I promise

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 10:47:14 PM)
only time i care much about dice is when someone wants to kill me ic, hehe

Esmae Daniels (Feb 5, 2011 10:47:22 PM)
(*Goes to make a quick coffee* Your Awesome Nasty, we loves you long time.)

Esmae Daniels (Feb 5, 2011 10:47:48 PM)
I may take a while, I'm sat on the floor atm and still in large amounts of pain

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:48:14 PM)
Ok that several hour long diatribe I endured the other night was painful and that was I direct quote I put in quotes up there

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 10:48:14 PM)
**nods** aye james, rolls are for when the other guy mentions initiative lol

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:48:44 PM)
There are things that need rolls like James said and I agree I just try and keep it low as it turns into scroll hell

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 10:49:31 PM)
can you tell us who the diatribe was from?

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 10:49:57 PM)
and can we then roll for Ambush on them?

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:50:34 PM)
Nah I will not say I just had a couple bad experiences and am trying to do customer service.

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:50:41 PM)
Anyway to set this up

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:50:56 PM)
Rohan I am assuming you are watching from Haven?

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 10:51:14 PM)
yup, ears and all other vestiges open

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 10:52:58 PM)
(low apoch, aye)

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:53:57 PM)
As for the meeting spot it is dead center of an abandoned parking lot of a closed hotel on the outskirts of town. And as you probably already no Maskim just a Mr. Joshua.....so you guys ready for setup?

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 10:56:16 PM)
ready

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 10:56:25 PM)
I am hanging back and letting es and Rohan do the first bit

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 10:56:48 PM)
(will post when called on)

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 10:59:33 PM)
ready

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 10:59:34 PM)
*As the trio waits all seems quiet and many people on the night before the Super Bowl are distracted and not paying any attention to such a lonely location. The town of New Orleans still seemed to be in mourning over the Saint's loss before the big game. The place seemed deserted until the lights of three sedans cam into view and pulled into the lot. They stopped on their side and did not crowd the Fallen and thrall waiting on them. Though the car doors opened and men in dark suits stepped out and took control of their perimeter with clear military precision. Those with proper training would note that the taking charge was -better- than normal precision the movements were clearly special forces level.*

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 11:01:57 PM)
*Once the new arrivals had made sure they were indeed safe a large blonde man with a flattop approached the little group. Esmae would recognize the big fellow as the Dolph Lundres look alike Mr. Joshua. It was probably not his real name but anyone who had ever seen the movie Lethal Weapon would get the idea. The fellow stopped a short distance away and fixed them with a gaze showing all the emotion of a shark* Good evening.

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 11:03:09 PM)
**Rohan has already shifted beyond the veil, the colour pallet of the surrounding area muted but distinct. He watched as the shadow form of Mr Joshua approached and from the shadow of a parked van, watched silenlty**

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 11:03:45 PM)
*He had brought the charger, and it sat parked behind him as he leaned against the trunk of the vehicle, which, he left unlatched just incase, though, it was unopened. He took some precautions as he looked across the lot towards the new arrivals. He shook his head slightly and whispered to the others near* Be very careful and if it all goes wrong, take cover behind me, and get whatever is inside the trunk, out. *He stepped forward slowly to meet the man* Good evening. You are the Mr. Joshua I have heard about I presume. *James tone and posture was one of authority and confidence*

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 11:04:08 PM)
*Rohan did not see anything out of place but with his past or more specifically his hosts past he would mark the blonde man as an obvious professional.*

Nasty (Feb 5, 2011 11:05:48 PM)
(This user is now known as Mr. Joshua)

Esmae Daniels (Feb 5, 2011 11:06:28 PM)
*Esmae arrived at the location, bitting on her lip softly as she whispered Rohan's true name. It was what every girl dreamed of for a Perfect Saturday night, Meeting a rather large and impressively Intimidating blonde on a dark where no one could hear your screams... How.. Sadistically Romantic. Taking a breath as she watched the sudan pull in she pulled her dress down a little more, covering more leg with the soft creamy white and mottled orange fabric* Mr Joshua, always a pleasure. *She smiled that sweet little smile of hers looking him over again as she had before*

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:07:19 PM)
*Stepping forward at James' side Sophie wears that lovely smile upon her lips, the fitted black dress and heals lending an elegance to the meeting while her soft features and gently falling hair spoke of softness and a lack of threat. Her hand touching James' arm she holds him back before he could stop forward.* James I think we must wait for the others to make first contact.

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:08:03 PM)
I am *the big guy simply responded* and if I am not mistaken you are the leader of the little rebellion that is going on. My employer sends his greetings though he is unfortunately not able to attend to such matters in person for a while now. *The fellows tone was polite and professional as his men fanned out behind him but they were clearly doing the same thing the Fallen were and that was simply watching for tricks.* But from current events it would seem that your goals and the goals of my employer are one and the same.

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:09:53 PM)
*Mr. Joshue acknowledged the two ladies but kept his attention on James. But one got the impression he and his men missed little. Those backing the blonde man soon took up firing postions and uncased snipper rifles but it was still obviously in case things went bad....no hostile moves. They just seemed to be really, really, really, nervous.*

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 11:11:16 PM)
**Rohan's training had him marking the positions of the troupe as they fanned out. They were pretty impressive, well resourced and knew their business. On silent feet, he slowly made his way around toward Joshua's car, being sure to maintain visual contact with as many of his people that he could.**

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:11:42 PM)
*Her eyes flicked over to the men with their sniper riffles and stiffled an impulse to laugh, a smile on her lips as she raises her brows in question, knowing that not even the men themselves believed that such weapons against elohim would help them overly.*

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 11:11:51 PM)
I believe they might be just that, the only problem we seem to have is.... *He motioned between himself and Mr Joshua* Lack of an actual meeting. It is hard to take the measure of one who you would work with. *He put some emphasis on the word with, making sure it was clear he did not mean /for/* By speaking to one of their employee's. *He stood and had dressed quite casually, and for the ST's notification under the back of his jacket was his usual colt sidearm.*

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:14:03 PM)
*Through the monchrome color of the veil Rohan is able to get close to the car easy enough and the little troupe seems utterly unprotected from that side of things. If the Slayer looks over the car he notes it is better stocked than a lot of armies of small countries but again it all seems defensive. The type weapons though are again small such as sub machine guns and those associated with close urban combat. The items in the car which is now not occupied do even more to reinforce the feeling that these guys are special forces or at least were once spec warriors*

Esmae Daniels (Feb 5, 2011 11:16:38 PM)
*She glanced off a moment, wrinkling her little nose slightly before she glanced back again. Though she worked with guns all day long the worst -hers- could give you was a nasty bruise and maybe broken skin, not a chest full of lead and a pretty pool of Crimson surrounding you like a morbid Halo. Her eyes flicked slowly from man to man, before finally resting upon Mr. J, moistening her lips as she did so*

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:17:46 PM)
Understandable but I am sure you can understand my employer's position. This very group was charged with his how shall we say return to prison? *A small smile creased his features at that* And he has recently had some terrible snake problems so at present a face to face meeting is not at all possible. But I suspect there might indeed be a way we could possibly arrange such a meeting if you are agreeable.

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:19:27 PM)
*Sophie smiles at that and finally looks away from the men to Joshua.* Your boss and I have had dealings in the past, I would be interesting in renewing that aquaintance.

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:19:56 PM)
*he gave Sophie a sinister smile* Oh you might.

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 11:20:03 PM)
**After inspecting the car, Rohan slips the small LD from his pocket, not much larger than pill, along with a small knife and without fuss, slips it into a tiny piercing in the roof upholstery. Again, in measured steps, he continues about the cars and despite the veil, still maintains a fair distance between any of Joshua's men. Taking posiiton himself finally, he then scans the surrounding area for movement**

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 11:20:46 PM)
I am not sure what message you were given, to its exact wording, but I agree to meet with him privately, just me, just him. The setting can be of his choosing to a degree. It can't be on property owned or held by him. Nowhere that either of us may not easily leave if the desire to do so overcomes one of us. *His stormy gaze was fixed on Joshua, narrowing slightly at his smile*

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:23:03 PM)
*As James takes the lead in the negotiations Sophie begins moving past him and around behind Joshua towards the guards. Her steps incredibly graceful, her smile never leaving her face and mystery behind her eyes the lammasu weaves her way around the room to distract their opponents, increase their nerves and keep them off balance.*

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:23:10 PM)
*Rohan notes no movement but it is clear the half dozen men are simply there as back up. Also the unit cohesiveness is impressive as if each man knows what the other is about to do and when. Also from his vantage point Rohan notes each man has an odd pin on their lapels. Some call it the Budweiser but most in the know when it comes to the US military would recognize the little trident and pistol emblem as something that is earned and never given.*

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:25:01 PM)
I would not do that if I were you ma'am Joshua *tells Sophie as four sets of rifles turn to follow her* stay with your companions. *This is done before he bothers to respond to James*

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:26:11 PM)
Do you really want to try and give me orders mortal? *The smile remaining on her lips she continues to circle him passing back around towards James.* I would advise against it.

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:28:25 PM)
Do you really want to go screaming back to the Abys? *The mortal did not seem the type to scare easy* and from that particular response I would gather this meeting is over. *He looked back to James* as you can see we have issues with such matters in light of recent events. *Mr. Joshua began backing away back toward his vehicle as if the discussions were now at an end as a result of Sophie's actions.*

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 11:29:26 PM)
**This is something that appeals to Rohan, impressed at Maxim's ability to arm himself so well. However, he could not help but reflect that despite the muscle and the reach, Maxsim was still in hiding. When he spoke, his voice was a hushed breeze... "Sa 'rashiel.. he has four on the ground, three as a cross fire and they are jumpy but on stanbye only. I would advice letting Joshua know that we recognise there must be a threat we are yet to be informed of or he would meet us tonight. As a show of faith, perhaps we shoudl be made aware of this threat.'

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:30:34 PM)
*She stops by James' shoulder speaking softly in his ear as she watches the retreating men.* It's possible he's acting alone, if he had orders to negotiate he would be more afraid of Maksim than me and be willing to stay. We need to consider the possibility he's been cut loose and -can't- contact his former master.

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 11:30:54 PM)
*He shook his head and smirked as he watched Joshua, ignoring the mercenary behind him tracking sophie with their guns. * Honestly, ask your boss this, does he think he stands a chance without support given the current situation Mr. Joshua, can he really afford to walk away from us, from me? I have what he does not right now, the numbers it would take to do what he desires, and those numbers grow by the day. So have him take that into account.

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:37:11 PM)
*Reaching the car Mr. Joshua paused and smiled but it did not reach his eyes* as I told you my boss has had snake problems recently and so he is being cautious. Fortunately the great snake was not as great as it thought for those who are prepared. As far as walking away from you yes very easy. This town is not a major player and my commander has access to other points of greater interest. You do the math why risk a large resource in order to gain a small one? For the venture to be worth while there has got to be more gain than risk and well *he shrugged* a one way trip back to that prison I spoke of with the lady is quite a risk.

Esmae Daniels (Feb 5, 2011 11:40:26 PM)
*She pressed her lips together, stepping forwards half an inch* But... Your Master wishes this. Your Master has a great desire to gain this... Small point of interest.... *She canted her head softly, her heart pounding away in her chest* He wants it.... and I belive he would do anything within his power to get it... A small jewel in his crown is better than no jewel... right?

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 11:40:47 PM)
I think you are bluffing Mr. Joshua. He does need us to take this city, but we however don't need him.... But I don't think you even know where your precious commander even is do you? Does he answer your calls of his name anymore Joshua? Or has he cut you off completely from himself as one might a limb beyond all repair in an attempt to save themselves?

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:42:07 PM)
You will all be leaving this town then? *She remains beside James one hand resting on his shoulder as she leant against him, watching Joshua curiously, that madenning smile still on her lips. Pausing as James speaks before adding to his words.* I know your master boy, where he aware of you speaking to us in the tone that you have he would likely flay you for insolance.... is he even aware of this?

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 11:42:46 PM)
**Watching the meeting come to a close, he notes that the crack troops maintain both position and control. Not suprising given their due but suprising they are here at all. At James's challenge, he watches Joshus's reaction intently. After all, he was himslef a master deciever, perhaps his own natural subterfuge would detect a crack in his armour**

Mr. Joshua (Feb 5, 2011 11:46:12 PM)
*At that he gave a smile that was more or less genuine as he opened the door of his car. One of the other men broke position to take up position driving that particular vehicle. One could sense this was an amusing game for the man and he calculated it like a gambler and was not concerned lives were at stake.* you are all fishing and not doing a very good job of it. Good evening, you know how to reach me should you change your minds. *He then got into the passenger side of the car and the car started and pulled out. The other two cars remained till that one passed and the troops held their spots before filling into the other two vehicles and departing with military precision.*

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:47:25 PM)
*Her head tilting to the side to lean upon her hand where it rested on James' shoulder she smiles as the cars depart.* He has been cut loose and is groping, he's a dead end.

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 11:47:58 PM)
Goodbye Joshua, and I hope for your sake, you never threaten us again. *He nodded and as the other man settled into his vehicle he turned his back to them, his senses all on high alert as he walked to the car, slipping an arm around sophie*

Rohan McAllister (Feb 5, 2011 11:48:17 PM)
** he watched the cars ready "SaRashiel, I am with the vehicles, I will keep you informed. Liaphon, watch over Esmae for me, should they decide she broke her side by inviting us all" **

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:49:41 PM)
*She smiles and nods remaining at James' side.* I shall Rohan, but I don't think they will return. They do not trust to Maksim's status to protect them and they speak too freely around us, in ways one of our kind wouldn't allow. They are lost and looking for something, this was a fishing expedition on their part.

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:50:43 PM)
James. *She tilts her head back a little to look up at him.* We could consider kidnapping Joshua and interogating him.

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 11:50:53 PM)
*He linked in as it were when his celestial name was invoked* "If it is true, that he is working alone.... Kill him, or contact me and I will help you kill them all. They are a liability then"

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:51:47 PM)
They still may hold clues James... we should speak to them before killing them.

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 11:52:50 PM)
Amend that, kill the extra's, maim the blonde one. *He nodded slightly at Sophie's council*

Esmae Daniels (Feb 5, 2011 11:52:50 PM)
*She glanced back at the two of them as the cars drove off, bitting on her lower lip slightly she began to wander back towards her bike, brushing hair out of her eyes. She half expect Rohan to pop out at her any moment.... and when he didn't concern began to build within*

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:53:35 PM)
Esmae. *Sophie smiled and motioned her back towards them.* Stay with us until Rohan returns or gives us a location to meet him at?

Esmae Daniels (Feb 5, 2011 11:54:46 PM)
Hmm? *She glanced back bitting her lips* Yeah... Sure... Sorry. *She blushed softly wandering back, kicking at the dirt a little* If you wanna corner him.... I mean after tonight. I could meet him at the Club.... I can't remember what it's called... *She frowned a little*

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:55:50 PM)
*She shakes her head a little.* I don't think that's wise Esmae, he is not playing the game by the rules, and I think tonight either Rohan will discover how to contact Maksim directly or we will deal with his lackey ourselves.

James Laurence (Feb 5, 2011 11:56:23 PM)
"If he is playing us, it may draw him out... If that is how it is, I will handle Maksim when the time comes, if nothing else, it will serve as a warning to mortals who feel their loyalties are maleable, who's loyalties follow only money and power." *He stood by the car*

Sophie Willows (Feb 5, 2011 11:57:58 PM)
*Her head raising from James' shoulder as he moves towards the car she walks with him, her arm linking with Esmae to pull her along at their side.* If there is fighting tonight though Esmae, you must stay in the car or behind cover, no matter what occurs.

Esmae Daniels (Feb 5, 2011 11:59:02 PM)
*She chuckled softly, thinking Sophie was joking it seemed* Oh I don't think you have to worry about that to much Sophie.... As James already know's I'm more accident prone than I look when to comes to comabt of -any- kind
