Bloody looks at Mystic and whispers in her ear, "Mystic what do you think we should do? We should let them go? Do you want to take anything from them? Maybe they have weapons or money or something of value?"
Mystic replies "Nah I do not want to be on these guys revenge list, let them go and we can go to the club and see if anyone knows about the person maybe the barman?"
Okay Bloody says to the guys..."We will let you go just because we are in a good mood today, but don't dare to return if you don't want your face cut!" She then says to Mystic, "Mystic please take out the ropes from them and kick their butts and tell them to go away."
Mystic does this, but apprehensively as the guys do look bullish. Nevertheless they run away, not wanting anymore of this 'episode'. You go back to the club. Everything seems unchanged and of disappointingly the stranger you were drawn to is not back. You think that probably tomorrow he may return, but you still think to ask the barman.
The barman listens to your description, but says he does not know the person you are talking about while raising his right brow.
GM: Say what you will do now?
Mystic takes out 10 credits from his pocket, look at both sides and show it to the bartener while he says, "Hmmm maybe this will help you to remember, but... you have to answer me these questions:
"What time the stranger comes ?"
"What he does and what kind of town we are in.?"
The bartender takes the credits and explains that he has seen the guy come in late at night each evening around this same hour. He does not know much about him except that he usually sits by himself.
As you converse with the bartender you notice a familiar face that you knew while growing up in the city. You think for awhile and then it clicks... 'LabRat'. You remember her nick name and decide to see if she wants to join in your little 'stake out'.
GM: Enters the game is LabRat. Say what you will do now. It is late at night.
Bloody notices Labrat and goes close to her,..."Hi Labrat. You remember me?. This is Bloody and this is Mystic. Long time no see! how are you doing?". She then looks both sides and whispers...
"Are you busy tonight? Mystic and I are in this lil' adventure and your skills will become handy. We saw this strange guy in the club, we followed him and he fought three guys like nothing and then dissapeared in the dark... the bartender was giving us some clues... you wanna join us?"
Labrat responds... "I'm up for a little excitement. How do you think I can help? What information do you have on this guy? Anything specific I can look into for you?"
Mystic seem excited about the new friend.
"LabRat, I don't have much info about the guy, only that he comes every night... let's go back to talk with the bartender, he was telling us more when we saw you and decided to say hello." says Bloody.
You go back to the bartender and he asks if you are ready for some drinks.
Bloody notices Labrat and goes close to her,..."Hi Labrat. You remember me?. This is Bloody and this is Mystic. Long time no see! how are you doing?". She then looks both sides and whispers...
"Are you busy tonight? Mystic and I are in this lil' adventure and your skills will become handy. We saw this strange guy in the club, we followed him and he fought three guys like nothing and then dissapeared in the dark... the bartender was giving us some clues... you wanna join us?"
Labrat responds... "I'm up for a little excitement. How do you think I can help? What information do you have on this guy? Anything specific I can look into for you?"
Mystic seem excited about the new friend.
"LabRat, I don't have much info about the guy, only that he comes every night... let's go back to talk with the bartender, he was telling us more when we saw you and decided to say hello." says Bloody.
You go back to the bartender and he asks if you are ready for some drinks. You get the feeling that the bartender really cannot give you anymore information and you are better off coming back tomorrow night.
GM: It is very late, say what you will do now.
Labrat looks at Bloody quietly and says, "I am a researcher. My special skills are disguise, communications and engineer. My default skills are Streetwise, Linguistics & Legal. I have the following equipment that might come in handy. Handgun and 100 slugs, knife, and electronic microscope which includes a computer to analyze data. Maybe we should come back tomorrow to see if he shows up. If he does, maybe we can get a strand of his hair or something else that I can analyze in the computer and see if it gives us any information on him. It might be a good idea for Mystic to buy some weapons tomorrow before he comes back to the bar just in case."
Labrat then turns to Mystic and says, "Mystic, maybe you could swing by the plaza on your way in?", says a wise and knowledgable Labrat. She seems to know what she's talking about."
Mystic who seems kind of lost in the universe replies, "Sorry I did not get here sooner but you are right cause I messed up not getting the right stuff."
Mystic then rants about what she wishes to get.
"Yes I think you should do like you said", says Labrat to Mystic. "You can stop at the plaza tomorrow before coming to the bar to purchase that stuff. I have also said I think we should come back tomorrow and try to get some kind of DNA or other stuff to check out in my microscope/computer."
Bloody then looks at everybody and says "...then...are we going to sleep now and get some rest and return tomorrow."
GM: During the night all of you retire to your own abode - a small apartment somewhere in the city.
In the morning Mystic purchases the equipment and the store salesman asks sarcastically, "Going to war?"
Later that evening you decide to meet back at the club for the same time (9:00pm). In the club the music is as usual very loud, a lot of people ae dancing. A quick glance reveals a table available and you sit. You see the stranger across on the other side of the room. You are not sure how to appraoch him though.
GM: Say what you will do now.
Labrat seem excited and with great ideas. Bloody is glad that she's part of this adventure since we need some brains around here.
Labrat looks at Bloody and Mystic and softly shares with them a great plan...
"Why don't we order drinks then carry them past his table dancing to the music ya' know. Then Mystic could bump into Bloody and she can spill her drink on him. See, then Bloody makes a big commotion about apologizing, you know wipe down his shirt with your hands, etc. Looking for any loose hairs etc. If you find anything like that you can take a strand or two. Maybe offer to take the shirt home to wash it for him. Promising to return it here the next day. While that is going on, I will look to see if he has used a napkin to wipe his hands or lips or see if there is a cigarette butt or something in an ashtray that I could take."
Bloody and Mystic listen with attention... and then Bloody says,
"I think is a terrific idea. I will make sure to spill my drink really good so Mystic can check for hair on his back and I will keep the wet napkins and you may want to take something else that you see around. I will also establish a conversation with him as a good excuse for apologizing for what just happened".
Bloody and Mystic go towards the bar but as like they're not friends but strangers.
GM: The stanger is seated in the corner of the room where he can observe (like the first time). Your current plan has him sitting at the bar? Please revise your plan and post again.
Mystic and Bloody go to the bar to order some drinks.
The barman says sure and waits for his three credits.
(We assume this comes out of Bloody's card)
You ask for extra napkins and are given it. You then go around where the stranger is and start dancing. Bloody tries to make herself closer to the Stranger while glancing to see her standpoint from his position. In this process Mystic notices the interesting hat that the Stranger wears because it is oddly covering his eyes and half his face. It is similar to what you have studied in history books as a 'cowboy hat'. When Bloody gets close enough to the Starnger's table she thinks to fake that she stumbles and spills her drink over the Stranger.
In what seems to be very quick events lowd down the following happens...
- Bloody starts to stumble
- The liquid from Bloody's glass starts to go in an upward motion towards the Stranger
- The Stranger's head moves up slightly
- The Stranger moves to one side of the table with such speed that it lmost seems as though he leaves a ghost where he sat
- The liquid from Bloody's drink starts to fall, it splatters over the table and chair where the Stranger sat
- The Stranger now stands, the music still pumping, no one has really noticed.
- The Stranger's hat covers his eyes, he stands there without motion, hands to the side, you feel very unsure.
Bloody takes a napkin and start wiping off the seat and table apologizing without stopping, but she knows no drink has fallen on the Stranger. Mystic and Labrat are unsure of what to do. You have the feeling that this person is not fooled easily. Nevertheless she, Bloody, gives a napkin to the stranger to wipe his face, but he does not extend his hand to take it. He remains standing still. You look at him closer. His hat still covers his face. He wears a coat that covers most of his under clothing. He is tall and well built. He carries an aura of being resolute.
You wonder if you should continue with your 'plan'.
GM: Say if what you will do now.
Bloody looks at Tena and Mystic and whispers quickly,
"Yes, is better for you all to stand on the exit, I will join you if the guys leaves suddenly. Just start talking if the guy passes so you will not look suspicious"
Labrat and Mystic agree and they both go to the exit of the club to see if the Stranger will pass by. Meanwhile, Bloody is surprised, she bends slightly in order to see the stranger's eyes, he is standing right there without moving. She coughs a little bit clearing her throat and says,
"Hi, I'm so sorry about the accident. May I buy you a drink?."
The Stranger raises his head just enough so his eyes meets yours. They are bright in contrast and seem to almost glow, but they are normal. With a very calm, but low voice he says,
"No, I think my time here is finished for the night, excuse me."
The Stranger begins to make his way to the exit while Mystic asks,
"My name is Bloody. What's yours?. I have never seen somebody move so fast, how you do it?"
The Stranger keeps moving and does not turn his head to reply. You sense that he is wise to your apparent interest in him. Realizing that your questions are not getting anywhere you stop.
Labrat and Mystic are watching what is going on in the corner of their eye while trying to look busy in conversation with each other. The Stranger is coming towards you in brisk fashion.
He passes by and looks slightly at Labrat and Mystic as though to say, 'I know you are up to something.' He stands by a sky lift (elevator), most likely to go down to the street.
