Invasion. Gathering of Heroes (February 1930)

[Frozen Messiah]

Jasper finally gives into his frustration and winds back his leg and kicks the door hard, hard enough to cause his big toe nail to break causing him so much pain that he grabs it and jumps up and down like a mad man.

Thomas Vincenzo de Auditore 64/64

Vincent creeps forward, slowly...quietly...he raises his arm...trying to decide whether or not to just go for the easy kill. [No, what if he's not the one? There's always a chance I messed up and picked up the wrong trail, nobody's perfect all the time. Wait, you shouldn't rush this Vincenzo...yes you strike when you get the opportunity, but not before you verify the target...he is carrying a large bag...big enough to fit Capone's Tommy Gun easily...]

Now within five feet of the man, he lowers his arm. [You will live...for now] The man suddenly kicks the door. Vincent takes advantage of this moment to slip into the shadows. Hide (1d20+8=23) (OOC: Wow...twice)

Once hidden he watches as the man jumps up and down in what seems to be a mixture of frustration and pain. Vincent looks from cover into the bag the man is carrying. Spot (1d20+5=7)

Unable to discern the contents (OOC: Assuming) of the bag Vincent waits to see what the man will do...He reaches into his jacket to slowly unsnaps his Colt just in case...[Pistol whip wouldn't kill him...but I don't want to spook him and have this escalate into an unecessary gunfight]

Vincent then decides to use his fist if it comes to that [Put what Imi taught me to good use] He looks closely at the mans face as he starts jumping up and down, to see if he recognizes the "target" Spot check (+6 since Jasper is an associate...I wouldn't go as far as saying they were friends or it would've been a +8). (1d20+5+6=19)

"God damn I hate this damn door, hope no one saw that" Jasper says to himself as he scans the area, there still doesn't seem to be anything or anyone of merit. Jasper then quickly goes back to try to open the door. "Damnit, Damnit, Damnit..."Jasper mutters to himself as he grows increasingly annoyed at his great nemisis, a metal door.

Thomas Vincenzo de Auditore 64/64

Still unsure wheter to trust his eyes, he sees the man turn and then hears him speak. Almost immediately he know who he's dealing with and it all makes sense. [Jasper Mortello...also known as Quicksilver...why didn't I put that together before? Must have been the thrill of the hunt...you're out of practice Vincent. Let this be a lesson not to rush things. Act swiftly: yes, rush them: no. But what is Jasper doing stealing from Capone? Good this be some sort of pre-emptive strike in a soon to be all out mob war? Some personal vendetta? Well, I know Antonio asked me to leave the country when he and Jasper discovered I was an Auditore...but does that still stand now that Antonio has passed? Is Jasper or Arturo the new head of the Mortello family? Did Jasper ever get my letter expressing my condolences for the passing of his father? Well those are a lot of questions, which could be answered from the shadows if I had unlimited time, but Capone is sure to return from his outing soon enough. Nothing is true; everything is permitted]

With that Vincent steps out of the shadows, both hands in plain view and says in Italian "It's been a long time Jasper, I trust life has been treating you well." If Jasper's reaction is to attack Vincent will strike him if necessary to defend himself, dealing non-lethal damage. (OOC: Readied Action will roll if necessary, also if it helps I can have Vincent speak in a different color if that helps).

Vincent recognizes Jasper Quicksilver Mortelo, as he turns to see if he was followed.

OOC: Waiting on Airwalkrr

 

[Frozen Messiah]

Jasper quickly pulls his gun out of his hidden holster and levels it at the man, he also drops his bag. "I'm in a bad enough mood as it is don't give me reason to... Tommy?" Jasper sighs in relief as he sees one of the efew faces that he has come to ttrust over the years, "God Tom how long has it been... wait what am I doing, we can catch up on things in my apartment." Jasper reaches into his left coat pocket and pulls out some keys and then shakes his head in disbelief. "I was using my fake keys. Wow, I've had one of those really rough nights but," Jasper says as he opens the door and makes a motion with his arm "come on in, I have an extra bed, I don't really know why I don't have to much company, if you have nowhere to stay and it won't bother me at all." Then something hits Jasper "Wait,wait,wait, how in hell did you find me, I mean this is more than just a conicedence right?"

 

[Felix1459]

Vincent hears Jaspers tone and sees the gun level at him. An instant before Vincent strikes Jasper recognizes him and puts the gun down. Already starting to move forward he simply leans down and picks up Jaspers bag while Jasper fiddles with his keys. [If this was anyone else, you'd be dead and I'd be done. Now it's going to get complicated.] "It's been too long. Thank you for the invitation but as you figured this isn't coincidence. You stole something from Capone and I was sent here to get it back. So why don't you tell me what this is about. You know I don't fail but I don't want to get in the middle of some mob war." Vincent hands the bag back to Jasper and motions towards the open doorway "Lets talk inside."

 

[Frozen Messiah]

"Mob War? Oh God, you still think I'm part of my family. No need to worry friend I left my family and the circumstances are less than favourable for my part, I'm a marked man of my own family. It didn't have anything to do with my father but the people around him, most of the people I was watching and busted were close to him. The only reason he stayed alive was becuase of me safeguarding him, the fact is there is no one to do that for me. I would have been dead before the first month, so I went to the enemy of my enemy: The cops." Jasper says as he sits down in a large stuffed chair and flips out his badge just to show that he isn't bluffing, "Now I did think that you might be able to fill that role but after the incident it might have been the other way around." Jasper said jokingly as he leaned back in his chair, "Now I understand that your working for Capone but he has something big up his slevee, in that bag there is information about that, and I don't think you actually want to be invovled becacuse from my knowledge these are some people doing some big things. If you wanted I ould make you an entirely new identity and you could work for me, after the trouble I went through to get that stuff I would relly like the help, it's your choice though"

 

[Felix1459]

[Vincent made his choice immediately. Jasper was his trusted friend and Vincent had a reputation of getting things done and he would, just not the way anyone would have expected.] Vincent reaches into the bag and pulls out the papers and divides the stack in half. "Quick. Get a pen and some papers. We need to get the originals back to Capone's desk or all of this will have been for nothing. Then drive me back near the site and fire the Tommy Gun into my coat after all I need a reason for not returning it. If there was hope for your redemption then there is hope for mine. I want immunity from all past transgressions, though I know I'm only suspected of it. You know what I've done so you know how far I have to go to redeem myself. Something big is coming. Bringing Capone down will be step one. He is too power hungry."

---------------- Dr. George Wilkinson and Billy Miles---------------​

Apparently, the Doc has made his job well enough. Andrade coughs some blood, and blinks quickly, as he incorporates. He is surprised to see the situation and the stranger, and tries to reach for his gun, but there is none there.
“Doctor! What’s the meaning of this?!” he demands, scared apparently.

----------Jasper 'Quicksilver' Mortello & Thomas Vincenzo de Auditore ----------​

The pair decides to act with haste. Jasper copies the plans he stole from Capone, and hands Thomas the originals, and the other documentations, after taking a photograph.
The men get a cap, and are driven next to the restaurant, where they proceed with the charade. Jasper takes the Tommy out of the bag, and can feel a strange sensation by holding it. Capone used it, how crazy was that?
Thomas leaved the coat on a dark alley, and Jasper shoot it a few rounds, then stored the gun into the bag again.
Thomas proceeded then to deceive Capone’s men. He walks hastily into the restaurant with the papers. Franky strides from the kitchen, after him comes Roland, with a rope.
“Finally you are back Thomas! We found one of the waiters tided up in the bathroom... ” The gangster eyes the papers in Thomas’ hands. “You made it! You got the papers! Wonderful. Where’s the Tommy?”

OOC: Vincenzo must make a bluff check or something else along with an elaborated lie.

In the mean time, Jasper hears a few shots in the distance. He could get near to the location if he wishes, or could wait for Vincenzo before adventuring there.

-------------- Percy Ambleton-Smythe-------------​

“There! I told you I heard something!” says one of the men. Behind the door glass, Percy sees the armed men, walking to reach the door. He opens it, and now Percy can see him clearly. It was the man standing on the front with a rifle.
“I heard you rat! Come out peacefully and save your skin!” he threatens, apparently, still not spotting you or Ben.

OOC: Well, you could roll initiative, and make a surprise attack, since you are hidden. You have a standard action, so no auto-fire or moving.


All OOC: Sorry for the extended absence. Seems we have lost Failedreality. I hope we have not lose Airwalkr as well. This will not happen again, DM promise.
