Rolf Gramerie (wolfchild): Breath deeply and let my body do the work of fixing me, wait till we get to a first aid kit. {4}
Cyrus Wolfe (maxicaxi): Attend the meeting. (Auto'd)
Dan McCoy (Flintus10): Suggest we divide the money six ways. And then take my share.
Henry Dezrick (Grakelin): At the next group meeting, Henry agreed with McCoy: Split the money 6 ways, for $100 each.
Howard Finley (Dervin): Clean the knife of blood and prints. {5}
Most of the actions this turn were what could be considered 'free actions'. Talking amongst yourselves and the like. There's no problem with this, of course -- I'm just not going to roll for stuff like that since, well, they aren't really actions you can do 'badly'.
Turn 5: Dividing the Spoils.
As the minutes tick by, only a few members of the group had assembled. Dezrick, Finley, and Looie were all rather late.
"They're taking their sweet time. I wonder if they got picked up by the cops?"
These words silence what little conversation was ongoing. Perhaps the seriousness of their crime hadn't set in yet, though more likely they were simply trying to avoid thinking about it.
By the time Finley and Dezrick arrive, the atmosphere inside the shed is grim. They sit down opposite each other.
"It's about time we start."
"What about Looie?"
"We'll fill him in later."
Sweeping the newspaper clipping off the table, the group gets down to business.
"Let's divide the cash and figure out what we're gonna do next."
"$600 means $100 for each of us. Set aside $100 for Looie. With that done, I think we should direct our efforts toward acquiring weaponry. Who was it that said they had street connections?"
"Ah, that was me. Actually, it's the friend of mine who knows a guy. I told him about our group."
"You did what? We fucking agreed to keep this confidential. No one, not family, not friends."
"I wouldn't have told him if we couldn't trust him."
"Doesn't matter. It's against the principles we founded this group on."
"I didn't know we had principles. We just killed a goddamned innocent for pocket change!"
With this, silence overtakes the room again.
Finley stands. "I'm going to step outside for a minute."
No one can blame him.
While outside, Finley washes off the knife and wipes down the handle. Detaching the blade, he borrows Dezrick's kitchen and boils it in water for a few minutes, then swabs down both the blade and handle with ammonia thoroughly. Extracting DNA from it will be difficult, though not impossible.
When he returns, he's greeted by a new face -- Johnny Bison -- sitting in Looie's chair.
"Is this the guy you were talking about?"
"I took the liberty of calling him here while you were out."
"I worked at a warehouse a few months ago," says Bison, "They employed all sorts of street trash. I'm still in contact with a few of them."
"A guy, Travis, sells some pistols for cheap. He supplies some of the smaller gangs around town -- you know, the ones that aren't big enough to handle their own weapons trafficking. I'd suggest visiting him."
"How the hell can we trust you? You could be an informant."
"Tell me why an informant would infiltrate a group of five average guys, most of whom probably haven't even fired a gun before. The police here have actual gangs to worry about, not petty burglars -- that's what you are, right?" Bison's eyes flit over toward the cheap ski masks piled on a nearby table, "It's what you look like."
