HF 037 Hank at the Party

[12/16/16, 8:53:28 PM] Josh: You see Jams walk around a bit.  He speaks with Sarron and Saheera.

[12/16/16, 8:55:41 PM] Hank: Can I get close enough to hear any of the conversation?

[12/16/16, 8:55:56 PM] Josh: If you slip away, yeah.  You want to?

[12/16/16, 8:56:12 PM] Hank: Yes

[12/16/16, 8:56:46 PM] Josh: Ok, roll a stealth check to not get noticed by Sarron.

[12/16/16, 8:58:02 PM] Josh: You sort of clank over, and you see them look up at you, but ignore you.

[12/16/16, 8:58:42 PM] Josh: Jams conversation seems mostly pretty innocuous.  He asks about the colonies, claims to have just come in from Kumat.  A lot of regular party talk.

[12/16/16, 8:59:41 PM] Hank: Hank will head over to William then.

[12/16/16, 8:59:58 PM] Josh: Ok, William waves you over once he sees you heading that way.

[12/16/16, 9:00:34 PM] Josh: William: "Hank.  Having a good time?"

[12/16/16, 9:02:28 PM] Hank: Not particularly sir, this kind of affair is not something I am used to.

[12/16/16, 9:04:09 PM] Josh: William: "Well...if it makes you feel better, you're not alone tonight.  I have a number of agents set up among the crowd."

[12/16/16, 9:04:23 PM] Josh: William: "You came with that woman in a green dress?"

[12/16/16, 9:06:02 PM] Hank: Yes, and she is aware of your plan.

[12/16/16, 9:06:25 PM] Josh: William: "...I figured she would be.  Funny, not what I expected, now that I actually know it's her."

[12/16/16, 9:07:49 PM] Josh: William: "Think she'd trust you?"

[12/16/16, 9:08:33 PM] Hank: Of all our group I have given her the least reason to trust me.

[12/16/16, 9:09:35 PM] Josh: William nods.  "The others might trust you.  When the party is over, do you think you could guide them somewhere?"

[12/16/16, 9:10:50 PM] Hank: Sure just give me a destination. And I will do my best.

[12/16/16, 9:11:54 PM] Josh: William: "I'd like to make the arrest away from the crowd.  Less chaos she can cause.  I will move my men to surround the alley two blocks from here.  Once the party closes, make sure she's with you, and drive her there.  We can handle the rest."

[12/16/16, 9:12:23 PM] Hank: ((Insight check))

[12/16/16, 9:13:03 PM] Josh: ((He seems to be straight with you, but he's hard to read.  He always has been.))

[12/16/16, 9:13:54 PM] Hank: Very well then I will see you later .

[12/16/16, 9:14:20 PM] Hank: (( who is Jamaros talking to now?))

[12/16/16, 9:14:33 PM] Josh: Roll perception.

[12/16/16, 9:15:08 PM] Josh: He seems to have gone off with Sarron's daughter.  They're laughing about something.

[12/16/16, 9:15:20 PM] Josh: He sees you and waves.

[12/16/16, 9:15:45 PM] Josh: He starts heading over to you.

[12/16/16, 9:16:12 PM] Hank: Hank will meet him partway.

[12/16/16, 9:17:15 PM] Josh: Jams: "Keeping an eye on me?"

[12/16/16, 9:17:36 PM] Hank: Someone has to.

[12/16/16, 9:18:53 PM] Hank: Just because the rest of the group trusts your stated reasons for coming doesn't mean I have to.

[12/16/16, 9:19:44 PM] Josh: Jams: "That's fair."

[12/16/16, 9:19:57 PM] Josh: Jams: "I don't think it'll help you, though."

[12/16/16, 9:21:00 PM] Hank: Maybe not, but at least it is more comfortable to do than participate in the party.

[12/16/16, 9:21:43 PM] Josh: Jams: "Well, now you're just being a party pooper.  ...you feeling ok, you look awful."

[12/16/16, 9:22:59 PM] Hank: And why would you care how I was feeling?

[12/16/16, 9:23:21 PM] Josh: Jams: "My business is all about how people are feeling."

[12/16/16, 9:25:29 PM] Hank: Your business is all about breaking the law in every way you can think of.  To say otherwise is simply a smokescreen.

[12/16/16, 9:26:17 PM] Josh: Jams: "Oh please, now you're oversimplifying.  I don't break the law just to break the law, I do it so my business can function."

[12/16/16, 9:27:30 PM] Hank: Your reasoning doesn't matter the end result is the same. The law is still broken.

[12/16/16, 9:29:07 PM] Josh: Jams: "Well...can't argue that point.  But I feel like you're dodging here, big man."

[12/16/16, 9:30:12 PM] Hank: What possible reason do I have to give you an honest answer. When I am pretty sure that everything you have told us is a lie?

[12/16/16, 9:30:52 PM] Josh: Jams: "...even the part where I confessed to being a crime lord?"

[12/16/16, 9:31:31 PM] Hank: Fine...  almost everything.

[12/16/16, 9:32:53 PM] Josh: Jams: "Look, I'm gonna go mess with your boss for a bit.  You can come watch, or talk to your friends, or go glower in a corner, whatever.  I'm just saying, maybe think about removing that stick up your ass.  I've found so many more fun uses for it."

[12/16/16, 9:34:36 PM] Hank: Well I am not letting you go off by yourself, so lead on.

[12/16/16, 9:34:50 PM] Josh: He shrugs and heads over to William.

[12/16/16, 9:35:04 PM] Hank: Hank follows

[12/16/16, 9:35:38 PM] Josh: William turns to face you to.  As he does, Jams glomps onto your arm.

[12/16/16, 9:35:53 PM] Josh: Jams: "Oh, Hanky-Poo, won't you introduce me to your friend?"

[12/16/16, 9:37:02 PM] Hank: Hank will try to free his arm.

[12/16/16, 9:37:24 PM] Josh: He does.

[12/16/16, 9:37:38 PM] Hank: William this is Jessica, Jessica this is William.

[12/16/16, 9:37:58 PM] Hank: And I think you are both aware of who each other are anyway.

[12/16/16, 9:38:44 PM] Josh: William and Jams lock eyes.  They actually both seem a little disappointed that you stepped on that.

[12/16/16, 9:39:04 PM] Josh: Jams: "...well...that killed the mood.  He is no fun."

[12/16/16, 9:39:12 PM] Josh: William: "You're not getting out of here."

[12/16/16, 9:39:35 PM] Josh: Jams: "Now, that's just cliche."

[12/16/16, 9:39:40 PM] Josh: William: "Still true."

[12/16/16, 9:41:13 PM] Josh: Jams: "...well, if this is the level of banter going on here, I'm going to go eat."

[12/16/16, 9:41:29 PM] Josh: William: "Fine by me.  Just don't think you can slip out."

[12/16/16, 9:41:44 PM] Josh: Jams turns back to Hank.  "Are you still my escort for the evening?"

[12/16/16, 9:42:32 PM] Hank: I guess so.

[12/16/16, 9:44:51 PM] Hank: You want To still grab food or should I escort you to the viewing area?

[12/16/16, 9:44:59 PM] Josh: Jams: "Nah.  Let's go watch."

[12/16/16, 9:45:36 PM] Hank: Hank will reluctantly link arms and escort jamaros out.

[12/16/16, 9:45:58 PM] Josh: Jams allows for this and allows himself/herself to be escorted.

[12/16/16, 9:46:12 PM] Josh: Do you rejoin the others, or find a place to watch her yourself?

[12/16/16, 9:47:13 PM] Hank: (( seperate in as uncrowned an area I can find but with a view of the rest of the group.))

[12/16/16, 9:50:07 PM] Josh: Roll persuasion or deception, whichever you feel applies.

[12/16/16, 9:50:48 PM] Hank: (( 9 ))

[12/16/16, 9:51:06 PM] Josh: ...no, nat 20.  Why would you have disadvantage?

[12/16/16, 9:51:20 PM] Hank: It is a check

[12/16/16, 9:51:25 PM] Josh: Oh, right.

[12/16/16, 9:51:41 PM] Josh: Good catch, thanks.

[12/16/16, 9:51:51 PM] Hank: NP

[12/16/16, 9:53:57 PM] Josh: Jams: "I didn't know we'd be standing and watching.  I totally would not have picked an outfit with heels."

[12/16/16, 9:54:28 PM] Hank: How did you think a parade would be viewed?

[12/16/16, 9:55:14 PM] Josh: Jams: "They're all rich and important.  Don't they have servants carry chairs out?"

[12/16/16, 9:56:01 PM] Hank: Maybe argesh forgot,  would you like to file a complaint?

[12/16/16, 9:56:43 PM] Josh: Jams: "No, I guess I'll be fine.  Worse comes to worse, I take them off."

[12/16/16, 10:02:00 PM] Josh: Jams: "...well...that's something."

[12/16/16, 10:03:29 PM] Hank: It is I am surprised at the lack of explosions for something involving the twins personally.

[12/16/16, 10:04:16 PM] Josh: Jams: "Well...it still has to take the road all the way back.

[12/16/16, 10:05:05 PM] Hank: That's a fair point.

[12/16/16, 10:05:23 PM] Josh: Jams: "...aw, shit."

[12/16/16, 10:05:44 PM] Josh: Jams: "...I...I need..."

[12/16/16, 10:06:03 PM] Hank: What do you need?

[12/16/16, 10:06:17 PM] Josh: Jams: "...I have to pee."

[12/16/16, 10:06:42 PM] Josh: Jams: "...I'm going to step back inside for one second."

[12/16/16, 10:07:16 PM] Hank: (How many exits did the tent seem to have?)

[12/16/16, 10:07:50 PM] Josh: Far as you could tell, two, one in front and an emergency in the back.

[12/16/16, 10:08:40 PM] Hank: I can walk you to wherever the bathroom is.

[12/16/16, 10:09:08 PM] Josh: Jams: "Fair enough.  I just need some privacy."

[12/16/16, 10:09:27 PM] Josh: I won't make you rp that, we'll just say it happens and, a few minutes later you come back.

[12/16/16, 10:09:39 PM] Hank: Ok

[12/16/16, 10:11:07 PM] Hank: So, any more obvious escape attempts?

[12/16/16, 10:11:42 PM] Josh: No, just the one, admittedly, kind of long pee break.  Although, the length could be explained by...well...a strange plumbing and dress situation.

[12/16/16, 10:23:34 PM] Hank: Well, that sounds ominous.

[12/16/16, 10:29:58 PM] Josh: You see the figure land too.

[12/16/16, 10:30:55 PM] Hank: Hank will head in that direction, dragging Jamaros if I have to.

[12/16/16, 10:31:15 PM] Josh: Jamaros half-follows, is half-dragged there.
