[Spycraft/S9] Sleight-of-Hand

[Hurricain]

X-cel strides into the party , scanning around looking for his target.

" God this suit fits tight", X-cel says under his breath. Xander never did like dressing up , too much clothes he thought. If it was up to him he would just be wearing something way more laid back , but he didn't have a choice here.

X-cel then walks around the gala , not really drawing that much attention to himself. waiting til Sarah gives him a signal that she is ready to begin.

 

[Hammerhead]

Sarah eyes X-Cel out of the corner of her eye, and nods slightly in his general direction. Taking another sip of champagne, she awaits his response, two fingers to his head.

 

[Hurricain]

X-cel takes a deep breath and gives the signal. Two fingers go up to his head and then scratches his ear. Then he walks slowly toward simon with a drink in hand.

((Ok... the suspense is killing me.

Elise will keep droning and schmoozing and drinking. Riese will keep scanning the room and looking ugly.

I'm just waiting for you guys to make your move... You've made your plans - time to put them into action.

Hurricain, I need you to describe how X-Cel will distract Riese. A successful distraction will grant a bonus whatever Sarah plans to do. An entertaining scene will also garner you another either Action Dice or another bonus for Sarah. Or maybe both.))

 

[Hurricain]

X-cel gathers his thought and moves toward Reise , with his full glass in hand. He walks around another guest and then it happens , Mr. Mcguire ( me) gets tripped up by another guest and tumbles toward Reise , making sure that his freshly made bloody mary goes directly in his face.

Looking quite embarrassed , " Oh my god , I'm so very sorry, here let me get that for you." Mr. Mcguire then produces a small handkercheif ( unless Reise has one then he will just grab his) and starts wipping down his face. " Clumsy me , I'm sorry , I hope you that doesn't sting to much. Good Lord , thats going to leave a stain, ,you know I know an excellent dry cleaning place that might be able to get this out. Again I'm so sorry.

((ooc: I want to be as close as possible to him and wipe his face down , keeping the handkercheif in his face. ))

Riese grabs the lapels of Mr. McGuire's suit (or tuxedo) in his gloved fists.
"What the frex?!" Riese bellows. The vaguely neanderthal cast of his features twist into a snarl of primal rage. Riese falls for X-Cel's play, letting his annoyance grow into anger, Riese is distracted... for the moment.

Elise slaps Riese's arm playfully. "Mind your manners, Simon! I'm sure he didn't mean it. Didn't you, Mr...?"

((X-Cel's Bluff Check: 14
Riese's Sense Motive Check: 13=9+4. That ought to be good enough. ))

 

[Hammerhead]

Sarah interposes her surprisingly strong body between the two, smiling at how easy it was. As her hand slips down towards Riese's cell phone, she wonders Was it too easy? No, she was holding Riese to her own impeccable standards. "Take it easy, please. It was a simple mistake, messieurs."

OOC: Sleight of Hand +9, will spend AD to make it succeed.

With supreme confidence in her abilities, Sarah swipes the mobile phone with her deft fingers.

Riese looks at Elise then grudgingly puts down Mr. McGuire. "Yes, a mistake. Watch your step... we don't want any more mistakes."

((Sarah's Sleight of Hand check vs DC 25: 29=18+5:Ranks+2ex+2:Synergy(Bluff)+2:Circumstance(Distraction)

Riese's Spot Check: 10=4+6.))

"Men," Sarah states, her voice dripping with scorn while her eyes are twinkling. She then turns her head, as if having just recognized someone. "Excuse me for a moment, she says, smiling again, and then walks into the throng of people after a fictious person.

The Avan spy cunningly uses reflective surfaces to make sure she is not watched or followed, then retrieves Riese's cell phone from her pocket. All too easy, she thinks as she begins using the gadget on the phone once in a secure, relatively secluded place.

Now for the tough part...

 

[Hurricain]

" Well , uhm , again sorry about that. Excuse me now , I think I'm just going to be on my way."

X-cel straightens his tux , looks at Reise one more time and walks away. x-cel then goes about his buisness and mingles with the crowd for a short while. Still keeping a cautious eye toward Reise.
