Antidone responded with a reassuring nod.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Felt kind of sick for a few weeks after, but I'm good now."
He leaned back against the wall, gazing out a window, with an almost wistful expression.
"So. Ever gotten hurt on the job?"

[RAM]

The Casting Cook Withdrew to the kitchen and resumed their training.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"A few times, mostly my own fault. A lot of guys don't like to hurt women, even if they get slapped first." Milly grinned. "It's a pretty big advantage. Now, let's see. What was the worst I've ever gotten hurt on the job...? Hmm. There was this one time in France where I didn't quite make a clean getaway. I'd delivered the food but I got spotted by rival ninjas. Let me tell you, in France they train them to move fast over any kind of terrain. Anyway, I tried to vault out of an open window and grab a ledge on the building across the alley."

She winced recalling it. "Didn't go as well as I planned. I hit my head on the railing and fell two stories. Broke my left arm and a few ribs. Kind of lucky in hindsight, I guess, since they saw me fall and assumed I'd died, and I sure as well wasn't going to move and prove otherwise no matter how bad it hurt. The trip to the hospital was not fun in the slightest."

@Lillipad: What is Harvey's last name? This will become important soon. Also, if you want to do a flashback scene to the last time you two saw each other now would be a great time.

[Lillipad]

If I'm going to play a renegade cop turned assassin, I might as well Ham his story up to extraordinary levels. If I'm lucky, I might be able to Max Payne it up in future flasbacks.

Spoiler: (Flashback Theater)Harvey Northman and Guy Fieri: Betrayal (click to show/hide)

Guy put down his paper, got out his knife to sharpen, and started reminiscing on his past at the NNYPD. Harvey Northman. His partner on the force. The two of them worked during some of the toughest times in New New York, and forged an unbreakable union so they could take the city even just one step closer to true peace. When it was revealed that they were both in line for promotions, Guy revealed to his partner that he would be proposing to his girlfriend when the promotion was given, and wanted Harvey to be the best man.

Pretty story, right? Guy thinks to himself. Only problem with it is that the names are all wrong. Guy takes a sip of his coffee. Back then, I asked my partner to be my best man. My name was Harvey Northman. And my partner was named Guy Fieri, after his father's childhood hero. He hated that name. But times were good. Times were right. It was never meant to be this way.

It was a chilly October morning. The brass decided to relocate Harvey and Guy to a more remote part of the city, in hopes that the two would clear it up and give peace another big push forward. Harvey(Guy) spots some suspicious movement. "Hey Guy(Harvey), call HQ, I think I see some suspicious movement." Guy gives a quick response, and in no time, they get the order to go in, keep things busy until backup arrives. It's a strange order, but Harvey doesn't question it. The two bust in on a drug operation, cocaine was being smuggled in through coffee and hamburger patties. They aren't noticed at first, but before Harvey can make his move, he's been knocked out.

I wasn't always the killer I am now. I was a respectable officer of the law for a time. Guy thinks to his thought audience as he drinks more coffee. This incident was different from any other. When I came to, can ya guess who I saw?

Harvey wakes up, blood running down the back of his head. He can't see anything, there's a bag over his head. His ears seem to be plugged as well. Harvey tries to struggle free, but gives up when he feels the familiar pressure of a gun at the back of his head. The bag is taken off, and the man with the gun walks into Harvey's view... It was Guy! Harvey's eyes light up with anger and confusion, he thrashes in the chair for a while, until Guy shoots him in the leg. Harvey winces at the pain, and calms down enough to speak. "Why, Fieri?! Why are ya doin' this?!" His former partner takes a seat, arms folded over the back. "Because, "Guy." I want what you have." Guy takes a shot at Harvey's other leg. "I'm going under surgery soon. Your face, your voice, all of your physical traits will soon be mine. So I'd hate to leave, but I have an appointment. Boys, take real good care of him." "Harvey" takes one last shot at Guy, hitting his stomach.

I don't know why he changed in the end. Guy picks his news paper back up and returns to his reading. And I've stopped caring. I'll kill this man by my own hands someday. And I'll ensure he lives until then if that's what needs to be done.

Harvey spent the next few hours unconscious, waking up between beatings occasionally. The last time he woke up, someone was there to the rescue. He was taken out of town, to a private cottage equipped with medical facilities. Nearby was a lit fireplace nearby keeping the rooms nice and warm. A group of three tells him he was moved to a secret facility placed to investigate police and government corruption. Guy looks into a mirror at the scarring he's suffered while the group fills him in. His face isn't the same, for sure. But it is still undoubtedly his face. When asked for his name, he walks to the fireplace with the help of his three rescuers. Tossing in his police badge and ID, he responds, "I'm... Just Guy. Nothing else."

After several weeks of recovery, Guy attempted to return home. But what he saw when he got there was Harvey proposing to his lover. And Guy realized he had been completely cast out of his own life. Guy spent three years after that working with the agency, learning of the darkness he worked for. During his final month there, he attended Harvey's wedding, and vanished from the grid soon after. In order to receive his revenge, Guy became a killer of men, crushing his humanity to deliver to his former partner a merciless death and afterlife.

[Spinal_Taper]

Antidone gives a sympathetic nod.
"Yeah. Hospitals suck. Stuck in bed, drugged up, constant pain..."
He smirks.
"Unless you can get someone to spend time with you there."

[Grek]

Now that you have proven your skill to Ninja Burger, you have each been entrusted with a bit of equipment:
-One (1) NinjaNet earbud, to be used to communicate with your teammates and with HQ.
-One (1) copy of the Official Ninja Burger Employee Manual.
-Five (5) Ninja Burger uniforms.
-One (1) smoke bomb. May come in handy!

As the first one to arrive, Antidone has additionally been provided with the keys to a jet black, unmarked van parked in the Ninja Burger parking lot.

The call came in the next day, finding the ninja variously meditating, researching, training or simply conversing with eachother. A delivery was to be made.

Guy Horse recognizes the voice. Harvey.

"Afternoon, this is Officer Northman. I'd like to place an order. You see, we've got Vito Bagarella here in one of the cells. Yeah, that Vito Bagarella. Crime boss Vito Bagarella. It's his last day in our custody before the Commissioner says we have to let him go. I want to make his last day here... memorable. If you catch my drift. Could ya'll bring down a Ninja Burger Combo #2? Special Sauce #9, if you please."

He gives you the address and cell number. None of you need ask what Special Sauce #9 is. Untraceable instant death poison. Looks just like a heart attack. Harvey Northman wants you to kill the crime boss.


Before you can make the delivery, you must:
1. Prepare a #2 Combo (Double Ninja Burger, French Fries of Our Ancestors and Large RedCola)
2. Retrieve Secret Sauce #9 from the Ninja Burger Secret Sauce Reliquary on the 3rd floor (preferably without disturbing the guard puma) and administer it to the Burger.
3. Place all food in bag along with napkin, condiments and straw.
3b. Optional: Also retrieve Secret Sauce #9 antidote. Put that in the bag too.
4. Bring bag to Van.
5. Answer phone. Why is phone ringing again?

[RAM]

The Casting Cook prepares the order, swinging about the far wall and hurling the ingredients into a neat stack upon the counter. The final bun, however, must be delayed, for once capped, a burger should not be opened and the sauce is not yet ready. Time is short, for should the burger remain uncapped for too long, the innards may go brown...

[scapheap]

Head to Ninja Burger Secret Sauce Reliquary 3rd floor.

[Lillipad]

Guy answers the phone. "Hello?"

[Spinal_Taper]

Antidone sighed as he went to gather the bag, napkins, condiment and straw.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Milly went to the police station to scope out the situation. (If a roll is necessary, I'm going to use Stealth, with a roll of 12.)

[Grek]

Expect update tomorrowish.

[Grek]

As soon as the call comes in, the ninja move. Antidone had the bag ready, napkin staw, ketchup packet, soy sauce, all the works. The casting cook, fully recovered from his rocket-filled escapades, swings from wall to wall, placing bun, patty, cheese, patty, mayonaise, lettuce, pickle... No sauce yet. Barry sent for the sauce. And since there was no sauce, no second bun. Barry had better hurry.
Barry stood before the outer wall of the reliquary. Inside, he knew there was a puma. It said so on the wall. "Beware of Venerable Puma Who Lives in Gardens Outside Reliquary.", right on the sign. He also knew that it would not be acceptable to kill the puma. Grandmaster Dao, one of the very eldest Burger Ninjas had taught this puma kung-fu back in the days when Nippon was still a country and Dojos did not cook fat food. Killing Grandmaster Dao's puma would be very very dishonorable. He didn't even want to think what would happen to him if he did that. But still. The sauce he needed was on the other side of the wall. On the other side of the puma. Decisions like this made one wonder if it was worth being a Burger Ninja.

((You can either fight the Puma, taking a downshift to subdue it without harming it, or attempt to bypass the puma by going very very fast or very very stealthfully.))

Guy picked up the phone. A voice answered, one that sounded like a combination of Cruella de Vil and Marilyn Monroe, "Ah, hello, daahling. Suprised? Most people don't get a call from Dahlia Bagarella. I normally have the help put orders for me, do forgive if I forget something." You politely (ninja are always polite when dealing with customers) inquire about her order. "Oh, yes, my order. There was recently an... altercation between my husband and one of the members of the NNYPD. An Officer Northman, if I recall correctly. I'd like to send him an Onion Death Blossom, to make sure that he understands how much my husband wishes to forgive him. Be a dear and make sure it gets chopped... extra fine for me?"

The order had finally come. Someone had told you to kill Harvey. You know you can do it. You've been training for years. So why does this give you a bad feeling, deep down in your gut?
Milly scouts out the NNYPD. She's currently in the small stall of the Woman's Restroom in the front lobby reviewing this map and planning her infiltration. Map was handed to her at the door by a bashful Ninja Trainee.

((Previous roll stands, but you have to tell me where in the building you're sneaking to first.))
((Everyone check that I have your remaining XP/skill totals correct.))

[scapheap]

"In and out fast." Barry kicking his bicycle into high gear, flip over the wall, grasp the sauce and is out before the puma is aware of him. roll
