I'm bored, don't have to work today, so I'm gonna take up MC23's "Poll" for
the fun of it.
Does it involve travel? YES, most emphatically, YES!
How Often? All the bloody fragging time....
How FAR? That information is classified, though there are rumors of runs
made that are measurable in AU's... :P Hell, if it weren't for some really
exorberant spending accounts, the fuel bill alone will kill us all. One
character has family in Christchurch New Zealand. One Character is in the
process of moving to New Sakhalin, Nation of Siberia (our remade eastern
USSR). One character is looking into buying a nice little villa along the
outskirts of Cairo; Egypt. Another character (Gron the Ghoul) is home based
out of Chicago (working as an emissary between the St. Louis, Chicago and
'Greater Manhattan' Ghoul Communities. A few of the character bounce between
the others (Reaver, the Decker of the group) is curently in Egypt with Binder
ATM, but often goes to Christchurch to stay with Jazz (his best friend, and
the principle rigger; whose family is there...Jazz also has lots of growing
contacts with the Huk...he gave them a really nice cyberdeck we got from a run
as a "contact payment" recently). Greaser (whenever Brent danes us with his
presence) is from Seattle, but is working with the Tir Na nOg government
through it trouble times. Jen is in Maryland (in the mountains), but is also
connected to the Paths, and is helping out when she can (she's our principle
magician---Path of Druid). Oh yeah, Mythos (the "Empath"), he was in Pueblo
Corporate (Phoenix) but recently got run out of town by some other problems
(see below). I think he's staying on his yacht-thing somewhere in the Gulf of
Mexico (Gulf of Aztlan??).
(please note, in our games, the Paths of Tir recently had a major schism along
the lines of a Civil War breakout....seems someone found out that Alachia was
using the Paths too much for her own personal gain and put the information to
the surface....yep, got rid of that IE's set of influences really quick)
(in our games, we allowed for a character to discover that he was "Immortal",
but he wasn't one of the "Ancient Immortals". Alachia discovered him and
tried to recruit him, but he told her to go take a leap off of one of her
"Eternal Bridges". She retaliated with a warning shot, he fired back
something that nailed one of her homes, she hired an assassin, a modification
to the BTAC picked up the Morphseeker signature and the shot missed, he
retaliated, this time by giving certain information in his own ... Empathic
Way ... to others, sacrificed his whole grade he had up to that point in a
massive ritual aimed at her (kind of like burning foci points in the First Ed
rules) and snapped her contacts for a while. She gets pissy, calls up a
meeting at the next "Paths" meeting, but Neil (the guy from the Will who is
given the "Ring of the Bard") decides to display certain truths. Things go
downhill from there for her, and she backs off (aka, she is removed from our
interactions and the plot point was discarded for now) Now poor ol' Mythos is
rebuilding his Grade and Contacts....not a bad sacrifice for what would have
otherwise been his life and maybe ours too if allowed to go any further.)
Where is it Centered? Oh we are still Geocentric (I know that ain't the
word I am looking for) the world Earth is the center of the Universe after
all. There is aircraft carrier that recently joined New Sakhalin (a remade
Sakhalin after the Winternight Wars we had here recently) as part of the
Citycorp(SR-TM) resource move. It used to be home.
So, there ya go....a run down of the group as it stands and where they are at
(sort of). We're gaining two new players and a whole new game timeslot for
the week (at least for a while), so who knows what is gonna happen to us
now...
