>>>>>[You still looking for work? Feel up to providing some astral support
to some B&E work? If so, I have such work going with Ronin and a guy called
Marlowe. Here's a brief piece of footage to show the principals in the run:
+++++Begin footage
The Chocolate Bomb cafe in the afternoon, the shades are keeping the low
sun from shining in the eyes of the patrons. At least one set of those eyes
holds a cybercamera, recording footage from a table near the door, occupied
by the camera-person and one other, a man who watches the door through
mirror-shades and a face fixed in cheesy-samurai-stereotype-mode.
"Fucken' hell, mate, you look like a gaffe," mutters the camera-person.
"A what?" asks the samurai stereotype.
"Sitting there all 'I'm a hard bastard' like. What the fuck is that."
"Go to hell. It's my biz mask."
"But..." interupts the camera-person, but stereotype brushes it aside.
"It's a habit," he says, "What am I, going to break it for you, after all
these years. Nah, frag off, the cheest look stays."
"Fine," muttered, "But..."
The "but" stays unfinished, as the small group is joined by a third, this
one a nondescript white human male in a tan trenchcoat, hands in his
pockets and hunched slightly: ten seconds after he passed you in the
street, you'd have trouble remembering his hair colour let alone his face.
"Ronin," says the newcomer, talking to the stereotype, then turning to the
camera-person, "And Herman? Been some time."
"Huh?" Ice asks, just ahead of Ronin's somewhat more informative reply.
"He was working with us on our last effort," the samurai stereotype says,
"But I guess you two never actually met, since Ice was providing astral
support only."
"That was you?" the newcomer asks, "Man, your voice is pretty different on
the phone."
"Yeah, it's these fraggin pixie vocal cords, give us high voices, and the
telecom cuts alot of the high frequency stuff, or something. Maybe that's a
load of shit though, so don't quote me."
+++++End footage
As you can see we all know each other well enough to relax and let the
witty/cheesy dialogue flow, so there shouldn't be any double-crossing or
any other nasty drek like that, this ought to be a comparatively pleasant
intro to the shadow world. I'll tell you about the target tonight if you
accept.
On another note, I'm working on enchanting a weapon focus, a Katana made
back in NZ, so there's a sort of emotional connection for me. Did you do
much in the enchanting area at college? If so, can you look through your
notes and check if there's anything new in the area I need to know? And if
I offer a consulting fee, will you consider that offensive?]<<<<<
