"No, I want BOOM!"
"Yeah, we got that," she says, pulling a few boxes from the shelves.
"We got frag, HE, plasma, incendiary... Gas, smoke, flash... That's it."Action: Head to room 54 carefully, making sure I'm not being followed.
Try not to spook the guy whose likely plenty paranoid.
You head up to the second floor, moving up the rickety stairs. You hear tenants yelling at each other in some rooms, babies crying, dogs barking. The room labeled '54' has a 'Do not disturb!' sign in the doorknob, and a 'Warning: DOG' sign taped to the door. A hole has been drilled into the door where the peephole would be. Knocking on the door doesn't elicit a response, at first. After a few moments, you hear a door open on the other side.
"Who is it? Who are you? What do you want?" comes a hasty voice from the other side. Looking down the hall, you don't think you're being followed.
((To make sure, that two flashs for 100c total.))
Buy some hacking software(I have a UIP link by the PDA thing, right?) And wait for the call
((Yep and yep.))
First you peruse your diskmate for any such software. You find there are two such programs already on your device, 'SeeThrough' and 'evensthefield.exe'. ST has its own user friendly GUI, and many options. Even someone who had no idea what they were doing could hack with this software, though you imagine there are many countermeasures for such established tech. etf.exe is the opposite of user friendly. All it is is a command terminal, with hundreds of cryptic commands, such as 'boogeymen', 'flyfar', 'knock_see', and 'knock_check'. You imagine this is some homebrew software. Difficult to master, but extremely effective.
((Effectively, these two 'items' have different qualities that aid your rolls. There are two rolls for hacking, as with several other items: set up and execution. ST has a +2 to set up and varying degrees of modifiers for execution. etf.exe has -2 to set up (mitigated the more you use or play with it) and varying degrees for execution, though mostly positive.))
"Ooh, blasterbast sounds very good, sir! Very, very good! Except... can I set it off by accident? With offhand thoughts? Or is there, like, some kind of activation process to prevent such a thing? Is there a manual that comes with it?"
Purchase one ounce of blasterbast clay, get info on it.
"It is magic, cannot be set off by accident through trigger, only brain can do the trigger. All must do is want is explode, and is done. Hard to explain, but you will know when blasterbast is attuned to you brain. Here..." he walks to that back room for a bit and returns with a black canister, etched with runes.
"Put hand on device. Once that, I will transfer attuned over to you brain and it is yours."Do you hand over the credits and place your hand on the runed canister?
Buy two of the 40C smoke grenades I found earlier, then turn the voice off on the disk and relax until the mission.
((also, a question. How do you utilise your attunement skill?))
You make your purchase, turn off the voice, and check into a motel. Now the calm before the storm...
((I'll put some info up on the OP describing magic overall.))
