His chewing stops momentarily. He's considering what to say to Herald."Reduce the chit-chat, sparky" is what he goes with. Crunch crunch crunch. "Mr. Johnson wants to handle the drop personally. I'm sending you an address. Get the package to the roof." Everyone gets a message from Mac via their commlinks directing them to a large housing complex in Elmont. Elmont is a neighborhood in Jamaica, Queens, and one of the grimiest places in the sprawl. A lot of immigrants, orks, trolls, and gangs.Hold it. Hold it. Big Mac Sexy has never before set you up a meet with Mr. Johnson. Then again, he's never before given you a big payday gig like the Pensodyne run. It's easy to let paranoia overwhelm you in moments like these. Maybe this is it, maybe you're finally moving to the big leagues. Maybe Mr. Johnson knows how totally messed the run is and doesn't want to wait for you to hand the goods off to a middle man.Or maybe you're about to get slammed."Everything copacetic?"[sblock=OOC - Judging Intentions]Herald tries to Judge Intentions:Charisma 8 + Intuition 5 = 13 dice, 3 successes [sup]<a href="http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=123141" target="_blank">link</a>[/sup] vs BMS's Charisma + WillpowerBig Mac Sexy is as slippery as a greased pig and getting a read on his response is incredibly difficult. Was his timing a complete coincidence? It very well could have been. But he also completely ignored Herald's question. No "What are you talking about?" or "I assumed you'd be in the clear by now." Just a total dodge. But Big Mac Sexy is kind of an ass in general. Does he know that things have gone to hell? Is he aware of the betrayal? Was package meant to refer to Woodley plus the swag or does he know she's all that's left? Questions without answers.Herald realizes better than anyone else in the crew that while Big Mac Sexy might be a disgusting desk jockey, he's still a fellow face. And he didn't get where he is and make all the connections he has by being a pushover. If he has betrayed the runners he won't show his hand that easy.[/sblock]Faust doesn't find any first aid in the car. Any kit worth using would be worth stealing by some SINless hop-along.The runners' car lurches under their feet. It's braking. Cars one and two are falling away, their speed unaffected. Another commuter-packed terminal flashes in the windows as the car speeds by it without stopping.[sblock=OOC - Spoof]13 dice = 3 successes [sup]<a href="http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=123152" target="_blank">link</a>[/sup]Beat target's resist rollThe car is slowing.
