Aleksei: I still don’t know what you were doing in the East Stairwell that day, and I don’t care. I just know that Adam’s Boys would have ventilated Lexxi and I for toll-jumping if you hadn’t dropped in. So thanks, and I owe you a brew or two. Hx+2

Foka, Zelen, and Valentin: You all know what my people and I can do, and you know where to find me if you need some work done yourselves. Hx+1

Everyone: Knowing who I’m dealing with is my bread and butter. Whatever number you give me, I’ll add +1 to it.


I'll get my gigs rolled and starter post up later today. Speaking of, Captain_Indigo, is Orokos cool for rolling stuff?

Let’s see. There’s that half-flooded pumping station that Lexxi found Down Below that Salt wants us to strip for parts. Oh, and tomorrow is Subota, so that means Adelajda will need her veggies hauled down from the roof-garden to her buyers.

So that will be Scavenging (1-barter / impoverished) and Deliveries (1-barter / bushwacked).

Moonlighting: 2d6+2 8

I will take 1-barter from Scavenging, and bushwacked from Deliveries. If you want to throw something at me for the bushwacked, let me know. If not, I have an idea to roll it into the ‘poo poo’s going down at 3West’ if that’s cool.

Aleksei does not worry about his death. He knows it will come, and waits in ambush. He seems to be ready to face any threat, but sooner or later he will miss some crucial detail, and it will all be over. And we will mourn, but also sleep a little easier, knowing he is no more. Hx-1.

Leeli was the one who brought Lovisa in, so battered and bruised. A genuine gift, one which I will not soon forget. Hx+2.

I treat both Foka and Zelen's followers with an almost alarming regularity. They have both been almost adopted by their followers as some kind of symbol, rather than gang leaders. We shall see how that pans out for them. Hx+1

Leeli is a funny little flower, so full of thorns is she that you can barely see the blossoms. I like it when she comes around. (Hx +2)

Leeli +2Hx , you do many jobs. We do a job together once. It is good to have people like you with this work. Professional.

Zelen +2Hx your shop, it is a pretty place. It is a part of you, yes? I do not see such places where I am from.

Everyone else? 0

Valentin, you are smart man. (I get +1 hx with you, so 0)

My Totals:
Leeli: 2
Zelen 1

That means Leeli gets to highlight a stat.

Sorry about that y'all, school kicked my rear end for a minute.

Foka

Do you have any idea how many times I've seen towns and shacks just like you lot? After the hundredth time I've seen another potential town to tar and feather my rear end, your head starts to get fuzzy and blurry, and you start to count your lucky loving lovely star pieces that the town doesn't know who you are. Thing is, I don't quite know who from who, who the wolves among the sheep are so to speak. Shut it, I just got out of being wasted last week. So, tell me, who the gently caress are you lot to me?

This knife, it is a good knife. The blade, make sure it stays sharp. It is not time yet, but you keep it and prepare. Do not forget the knife now that times are good. Good times go bad very quick, but the knife will stay.

You're a decent man Valentin, even if you are a fucker at times. Just remember you've got people depending on you, so sometimes its best to keep cool, hold your tongue, and see the end of the day.

I've noticed there's sustained gunfire going on in the same apartment as me. I could just make it up, but these places are more important to other people. Anyone want to say which floor the Flower Shop is on and where 3West is? Third Floor West? That would mean it's by my stairwell but way below me, probably. Unless the Flower Shop is on the first floor or something, in which case I have quite a climb to get to 40.

"...for you, it is all over...!"
I'll arbitrarily say the Flower Shop is on the 12th floor- Zelen wouldn't set up shop on the ground floor, that place is a nightmare, like the Xeniaburg version of a shantytown outside of the town proper. He likes to insulate himself and his business from whatever might come from outside. As well, he would probably be a respectable distance from 3West- they have different clientele and attractions, but biz is still biz and overlapping territory does no one any good.

Does Gregor have the elevators running for important traffic, or maybe even for the rooftop farms exclusively? Maybe not even with power, just old fashioned pulleys and whatnots.

Yeah, 3West is down on the lower end of the West-side. Might not be the 3rd floor exactly, who can really tell with all the 'renovations' over the years. But still fairly low, a more roughneck neighborhood. Plus, I'm thinking the gunfight at 3West is occurring earlier in the morning, probably about the time Aleksei was meeting with Gregor or heading towards The Flower Shop.

You call it. But. Like so much in Xeniaburg, if there is something good it will be used badly far more regularly and people will fight and die over it.

Since this is the first time I've managed to get into a fight in an AW game, I had a question. Since I've seized control, would it be kosher to declare hostilities over, or do I still need to deal with Gascanman's gang?

I am waiting for all players to take their move. I was originally going to post more often for the three of you posting more often, but I think it will fall apart quickly if I do - trying to fit the sessions into sections wont work very well if some of you are doing lots of stuff and some people only take 3 posts in that time.

I think we should just play with what we have. We can either have Valentine and Fuko re-emerge when their players are in a more stable position or recruit again. Since no one is directly interacting with them right now it's not a big deal to play without them.

Yeah, it's a great game! I hope we can keep up a good pace. I like to post at least once a day if there's something to post about.

Methane I think you're a cool dude with a cool character. I'd love to play with you but there's no shame in dropping if you're not up to it anymore. I'm real sorry to hear about your job and I know that can cause a lot of stress and a change in mood that steals away enthusiasm for game times. Personally I'd just vote for a temporary pause. Your character still exists and he'll become prominent when you're in a better place. If we move ahead in time we can go back and roleplay what happens in your scene and the fallout as a flashback.

Alan dropped off the earth? Are we going to replace him?

Bonus! Action Figure Aleksei showing an approximate to his outfit!: http://imgur.com/7BgIbWH The sunglass goggles are in his room, no need inside. Sadly he doesn't have a helmet so he can be Omared someday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CshAkqlAj1o
