[QUOTE="TillForPie, post: 6870963, member: 6762758"] [B][U]The Getaway Van - New York, Newark, Alleyway[/U][/B] Newark's East Ward is busier than anywhere else in the borough and there are two levels of streets in most places here: The ground-level and the upstreet about 10 meters above. The busiest corners have parking garages above them - entire five or six story parking facilities built straight over the tops of the intersections themselves. Lum's GMC Bulldog is idling in one of these garages, bathed in the neon glow from the rooftop ELIZABETH GALLERIA sign across the street. The van's engine roars and the transmission shifts gears. The license plate's numbers spin, almost like on an ancient alarm clock, before coming to a stop in some random sequence. The van reverses out of its spot and tears away down the ramp to the street, evening shoppers dodging out of its way and shouting after it as it goes. Outside the city is dizzying. Two levels of busy streets and sidewalks, highways wrapping around the skyscrapers overhead, the sky abuzz with delivery drones carrying packages, and every surface packed tight as possible with glowing, flashing, blinking, shining advertisements. Most of the cars on the streets are controlled by New York's GridGuide but the van weaves between them with ease. It passes beneath a dazzling advertisement-covered archway on its route to an on-ramp. Moments later it's roaring down a highway, the runners' subway train speeding out ahead of it underground. [sblock=OOC]There's no way for the Bulldog to stay neck and neck with the subway train. Not only is the train capable of a higher top speed but it's not slowed at all by traffic. But Lum can still try his best to ensure they won't have to wait too long at whichever station they stop at. His only real impediment is noise: The distance and interference from a city packed with wireless electronics creates a delay that can make operation difficult. Between 101-1,000 meters away (+1), 5 meters of metal-laced earth (+1), sprawl downtown (+2) = Noise: 4 Datajack (-1) = Modified Noise: 3 Agility 5 + Pilot Ground Craft 4 + Wheeled spec 2 - Noise 3 = 3 successes [sup][url=http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=122537]link[/url][/sup] This is for me to have an idea how good a job Lum is doing at keeping pace with the train with the van. Answer: Pretty damn good.[/sblock] [HR][/HR] [MENTION=6776381]Mosier[/MENTION], it's Herald's turn.
