Dark DestinyFrank MorrisFrank ignored the newcomers with the odd dialect. He had bigger fish to fry and it seemed like the man who had stopped him had that situation well in hand anyway. He resumed going for the bar.
Shaking away from the detective you walk out into the main drag and start making your way through the bar, it hadn't looked like there was going to be an imminent violence and you don't have any real reason to stick with the others, you've got a mission.
The people -if they can be termed that- are even more diverse than they appeared before as the more minute details become visible with proximity, imagination seems to be the limit when it comes to shape, color, and attire, though bipedal locomotion seems be more common than not. [Int+Subterfuge: Fair Success] You move through the crowd without attracting undue attention, you're non-augmented body is broken enough by the trench coat and expression of determination that the looks you get are more disdain than curiosity.
[Random Club: Hell's Waiting Room, Club Roughness: High, Club Show Type: Skinfreak] You press through the crowd, climbing up the series of spidering stairs that lead up into the floors of the burned building. You're stopped at the door by a large spirit with a pair of extra arms that have been grafted into heavy ectoplasmic blades.
"Quarter coin." he growls.
Cover charge in the underworld, who knew?
Daniel BlackwellHead to mister Roger's house.
You don't know about this, just diving into the situation isn't your usual way... You want answers, and the only person who has yet to provide you with any of them left. Whatever jobs he has for you there is at least a reasonably certainty that he won't kill you until he's gotten his money out of you. Rolling your shoulders you walk away from the party, looking for streetsigns. [Perception+Alertness=Meager Success] It takes you a minute to find them, they've been... redone. You're pretty sure that thing is called a rack, you're also pretty sure it's a medieval torture device. The body on it is unmoving but blue letters glow brilliantly against its distorted flesh, you stare at the body for a moment before you're able to read the thing. You start wonder how you end up as a glorified neon sign as you start walking.
[Stamina+Athletics:Botch] You attempt to jog down the street, you don't get far before you manage to develop a fierce runners stitch in your side. The unfairness of being dead and yet still susceptible to stitches is so very large. [Int+Subterfuge: Complete Success] Luckily gasping wildly while sweating seems to be taken as some form of fashion statement, considering most of them don't seem to breathe it probably is.
Raymond ConnorFind the way back to where I came from. Find the other guys, they at least weren't to haul my arse off to slavery.
Considering where you came from is much nearer to the slavers than you ever want to get again you decide to try and find the others.
Then of course you realize you have now frickin' clue where the others are. Considering you can't do any worse than getting away from the slavers you pick a random direction and pull yourself to your feet. Dusting yourself off you [Dexterity+Dodge: Fair Success] throw yourself out of the way in time to avoid being smashed into the wall by bristly black appendage.
There is a very large, very dark, very inhuman thing that was trying to creep up behind you. It cackles at you and begins charging.
Jhon Harleysoftly "guys, it probly can't hurt to have a bit of a tour, plus it will help us not get into a fight what do you say", if the rest of the team agrees, i pay them and we get the tour
Considering that everyone else has vacated the premises you draw out a coin from your pouch and toss it to the lead gang member. You flashes a toothy grin and draws out one of his and clinks them together, both coins emit a soft shrieking sound.
" 'Aight moleman, let's take a walk." He says and the others fall in, as you start walking along the street one of the girls offers you a drink.[Wit+Streetwise: Meager Success] Not wishing to offer offense you accept, taking a swallow from the dented metal bottle. [Stamina+1/2 Will (Difficulty 7): Complete Success] It burns like nothing you've ever tasted in your life, and for a moment you feel a rush of irrational and near total fear. The urge passes and you manage to keep your face carefully neutral, as you hand the bottle back.
"Damn mole can drink Cora's brand without screaming, and can stare off Gabe... Bastard's got balls of iron." One of the others mutters from behind you. (Doomshade status change: Neutral Respect.)
When you're in the middle of the street the gang leader starts pointing out landmarks.
"Well, here's the burned. North gate you been through, so you know that. The burned's got the best clubs and shops for the newfolk." At the word newfolk there's a few raised arms and cheers from the others, like the leader their outfits bleed when they move. The leader merely nods and bares his teeth in a smile.
"Most come here, good work if you're not too picky. Best ectokanic in the damn city works over at Requiem," he points out a structure near the top of one of the burned buildings which you make special note of.
"Nightmare is the best place to look for a job, also good place to get your head caved if you don't know the owls." He points out another structure nearer the ground floor of a building.
"Could take you clubbing and go through 'em all, but I think you be more wanting the grand tour, Right?" He barely spares a moment to glance at you before continuing.
"Just remember that the burned is the best place for newfolk, the shops, the clubs, and the flops are here. This the place to be seen, cohorts don't come here and the heretics know to do their preaching where people are too quickened to listen." Eventually you come to a cross and the gang stops
"So, what you want to see next? We go round left we'll see the cohorts digs and the Heretic compounds, we go round right we'll come to the Heights where all the best of the best sit."(Ability added, Burned Quarter Knowledge: Jhon can now roll 3 dices against a 6 difficulty to find something specific in the Burned Quarter)
