Nick turns to Rory with a raised eyebrow "Again I have no idea what you're saying. If you're going to speak English then speak English because I'm not understanding you." Nick takes a look around the room and raises his hands towards the rest of the people in the room and continues "Or am I the only one that just doesn't get it?" He then turns to Kara "I see where you're going with that idea but I think we, as in you and me, would probably draw less attention in a small town than these other guys..." turning back to the rest "No offense."

Kara responds to Nick with a sly smile, “None taken,” fully aware that she wasn’t talking to him.
She continues on, “Actually, some might find his antics and quirkiness charming while trying to gather information talking to the right people,” indicating to Rory.
“Now Rodny actually could be nondescript and poke around without drawing to much attention if he’s dressed the part. At least no one would call the cops if he doesn’t act like a stalker, but he would be right at home in the library and internet cafes I would think. Rodny, do you have some ideas that you can share concerning your part of the reconnaissance segment of the operation while in Wescot?”
“I do have some skill at investigating and gathering information as well. But I was thinking that if we are cruising around in the truck, we wouldn’t attract any suspicion from the local LEOs for loitering. I think patrolling around to keep watch for the bikers; we are going to be armed and dangerous. Now that I think about it, a black Suburban with tinted windows would be ideal for our patrol. It would just scream fed, and no one would bother us in the slightest.”
“Or am I missing your meaning, Nick?”

Rory screwed up his face as if he had tasted something sour. "I hate to burst your bubble, Nicky m'boy... but if you're a stranger in a small town, you're always gonna catch attention, and usually the bad kind."
"That said, I used to be in a band. Primal. Ye heard of 'em?" Rory paused for effect, then continued, "Well, at any rate, I could hit the local pubs and see what's what under cover of settin' up a gig for the band. And hell..." Rory added with a laugh, "Maybe I'll even call 'em over once the dust settles and I can treat ya to me golden voice."
In response to Kara, Rory looks directly at Nick and says in a chastising tone, "People who know how to have fun find me downright priceless."

Rodny stares at the screen for a moment before saying, "Well, I have no formal training in investigation, but I do have some skill at searching and researching. So the 'library and internet cafe nerd' would be no problem to pull off. The thing I would need to make it work would be a reason for researching in their town and for the questions I might ask. The only ones I can think of right now are either researching local stories for some novelist or researching for 'interesting shooting locations' for a director who's making a movie. Of course, there might be a problem if the locals don't want the notoriety."
"No. You understood what I was saying but you're right. If Rory goes in and hits the local pubs it will draw attention away from Rodny. Because they'll be preoccupied by the "star" in their midst. Also, toss Mings weapons here in a backpack and throw some camping gear on his back and a camera aroun his neck and no one will wonder what he's doin there. And then you and I can pull off the Fed angle and maybe even get some local LEO support. Granted of course they don't make too many phonecalls to verify our credentials."
Nick then turns to Rory "Yeah I've heard of Primal. My favorites are your B side tracks off your 1st EP "Stick it where the sun shines less," "Who needs a permit with a six pack like mine?," and the ever popular "Who needs long titles when you have the minerals to get things done in one sitting?"
[sblock=OCC: ]Took the liberty of naming some of your "hit" songs. Hope you don't mind. [/sblock]

Kara continues conversationally with Nick, “Ahh, his name is Ming, then. If you can convince him to put his armor and sword away, all the more power to you. He appears to misunderstand what I say whenever I talk to him."
"But he might not need to play the tourist at all, given his size that might be a hard stretch. Give him some fed issue shades and stick him in the tinted windowed Suburban and he will be right where we need him when the drek hits the fan. Do you know if he can drive? Maybe he's a driving master as well.”
With that she get’s up to walk towards the armory, intentionally letting the ogling males get a good look at her derrière to wonder if those are panty lines or not that they can see. She may not have the rack, but its tight back there. Over her shoulder she says, “Let’s check the armory. And then I will call Ms. Johnson about getting that Suburban and let her know our plans.”

<<OOC: I LOL’d at those songs titles. Nice touch.>>
<<OOC: I also put my Character Sheet in the Plots and Places thread, with my updates on requisitioned gear if you want to take a look and do the same.>>

"My, but you're a surly one," Rory smiled outwardly but a flash of anger could be seen in his eyes, "And I don't mind ye bustin' me own balls, but ya best not be talkin' smack about me band. They're good people... and so are you, for now. I'm just twistin' hay here."
Rory slowly got up out of the easy chair and said, "Great! Let's all go to the erection section and get us a piece."
[sblock=ooc]Twistin' hay: means you're starting trouble, usually in a playful way
erection section: slow set at a disco - I took liberty here and implied that going to a room full of weapons equates to "getting some action" for this bunch.
And Felix: Nice touch. We're gonna be BEST friends.

[Hmmm. Hate to see her go...but love to watch her leave] Nick thought to himself.
He then stands to go to the armory and says to Rory "Oh and personally I thought the band improved tenfold when you took over lead vocals. One h*ll of a story."
Then turning to Rodny "So let's go test out the Five-seveN's and those P90's shall we?" As he gestures and begins walking towards the armory.
<<<OOC: By the way I think you mistook what I meant. Nick wasn't busting you or your bands balls. He was simply stating his favorite songs they'd done. Since of course I didn't have "Primals" discography...I had to make up some titles. Since Nick's a quirky guy I "picked" quirky song titles to infer they were quirky songs which he was saying he preferred to another hit that might've been heard on the radio. Like I said: I just took the liberty of naming them. No offense was intended towards Rory or the Primals.>>>

Rory blinked his eyes a couple of times, then popped his eyes open in sudden realization. "Oh, wow, that's right! You're bang on, Nicky. I forgot that Primal had some lighter stuff before we kicked out that gee-bag Donovan. Well then... looks like I owe you a pint. Clearly I'm all arseways from lack of decent sleep."
[sblock=OOC]That's true, I never did mention much about the band in my backstory. I envisioned them as a Celtic Rock/Punk band with some darker overtones, as if The Tea Party had written their songs... and they were Irish. That's MY fault. But yeah, no reason they couldn't have had lighter stuff before they got mainstream... which they didn't, really. And now they're short a lead singer again.[/sblock]
