PC's: Nina Reynolds, Kobura Location: Tube Cafe Summary: Nina shares information about the magical group with Kobura and works on trying to get him to join the group. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nina Reynolds Subject: IC Email To: Kobura --------------------------------------------------------------------------- C; I'd love to turn in that raincheck for breakfast in the tube cafe this morning if you have the time. M --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobura walks through the sliding glass doors from the Garage. Nina Reynolds has taken a shower, washed her hair and has that stawberry smell still. Her hair is damp yet on her head so she must probably live in the Gateway Regency Apartments.. or heck.. it might just be the damn rain that never ends in Detroit these last few weeks. She is sitting at the counter, lacking any food before her as if waiting for someone. A known blond haired man enters the Cafe and looks around and starts to smile as he finds Nina sitting at the counter. He walks over to her 'Hello ... may I take a seat ?' he bows slightly to greet her and drops his trenchcoat on an empty stool there as well. He seems to have taken a shower as well, there is some gel in his hair and the soft scent of parfume (called Sumatra Rain) fills the air. Nina Reynolds rolls 5 dice against a TN 4: 1 2 4 5 8 (3 successes) Nina Reynolds rolls 8 dice against a TN 2: 2 3 4 4 4 5 5 16 (8 successes) Nina Reynolds nods as she is greeted by Kobura and smiles, truely pleased to be in the man's presence this time, the fear and terror having been left as a thing of the past between them, "Yes please.. I'm ravished, I hope you brought some big time cred with you." she chuckles at her silly comment, "I have some information for you as well that I think you might be interested in." she takes out the menu and glances over it with one hand as her other takes out her pocsec and opens it and lays it on the counter between them. Nina concentrates for a second and then the screen of the pocsec shifts as if a very very weak illusion is cast over it and on the screen images of Scarecrow, Nina, Leon and Joelle are seen chatting in hushed tones in a dark and rainy location downtown. Leon is ranting about wanting some sort of common belief system in the group and Scarecrow and Nina are explaining that they don't want to force people into a belief system in order to join the group. The scene shows them agreeing to meet later and then the seen shifts to a matrix location with Nina as a water elemental named Mist and Scarecrow as a cloud chatting in a secure matrix location.. they discus desired strictures of the magical group and agree upon (Oath, material link, exclusive ritual, exclusive membership, secrecy and attendence-1 meeting every 3 months).. it's determined that Nina should contact Leon (Worg) with these decisions and see what his an Joelle's (Mouse) responses are to these decisions. All this plays on the pocsec, pausing when they talk, pausing when the employee comes for their order, pausing when strangers walk past them.. its there to offer Kobura information that they can talk about as it comes or after it finishes. Nina offers a smile over to Kobura, she seems to feel much more relaxed in his presence now. Nina Reynolds says, "illusion is cast at only force 1.. Intelligence vs TN 1, need 4 successes to look through the illusion if wanted. no drain." Nina Reynolds says, "I guess TN2 cuz you can't lower a TN lower than 2." Nina Reynolds says, "Note-> Leon is always called Worg, Joelle called Mouse.. Nina Reynolds says, "Seems incredible overkill to use Trid Phantasm +1(Deadly)stun drain for such a little illusion. :-)" Nina is called Mist.. Scarecrow is called Stormcloud. ." Kobura slips up onto a stool at the Counter. Kobura grabs a stool next to Nina and takes a seat. He grins 'Big time cred eh ? If I had known that I would have taken my piggy bank ... ' he chuckles softly and shifts in his seat. As Nina grabs the pocsec and casts the illusion Kob frowns slightly and watches the shown scenery with interest. Absently he takes a menu card as well, but still watches the scene. Then as its over he keeps quiet for a while 'I see ... ' he comments and looks into the menu 'Interesting I have to say ... what would you like to eat ?' he looks over to you again. Nina Reynolds drops the illusion and the screen blanks out and she seems as if a burden has been released from her shoulders slightly, "I'd like the biscuits and gravy, some toast and some orange juice I think." She puts the menu away after her decision and speaks to Kobura more seriously, seemingly affraid that time will slip past without all the important things she wants to share with Kobura being said, "I have been keeping tabs on that post location.. if your King cobra," she makes sure her voice is low, "Then I think the man your arguing with.. the snob that is bragging so much is Worg. He's truely arrogent and stuck on himself tis true.. and his insistence on a common belief if he continues to press it will mean he will not be accepted into the group.. I wanted to let you know though.. that he is the one I think you are arguing with and he's one of the.. potentials." Nina Reynolds is attempting to cancel out the astral signiture of her spell now. Nina Reynolds rolls 5 dice against a TN 2: 1 2 2 3 5 (4 successes) Nina Reynolds rolls 9 dice against a TN 2: 1 1 1 2 3 9 9 11 22 (6 successes) Nina Reynolds says, "signiture removed.. no drain." The blond man listens and nods. After a while he tilts his head and lifts a gloved hand to get the bartenders attention 'Some biscuits and gravy, some toast and some orange juice please and additionally tea, some toast, cheese and orange juice ... thank you ... ' he smiles at the leaving bartender and looks back over to Nina. 'Yeah I guess youre right bout the nickname ... and I met that arrogant guy already, he attacked me for some stupid reason and I knocked him out ... ' he grins 'There the last pieces of the puzzle are completing the picture ... ' Nina Reynolds's eyes widen, "Oh dear." she says at the news of Leon attacking Kobura, "That won't do at all. The temptation of his additional knowledge along with his friend Mouse was strong.. but he's incredibly annoying and aggressive, he insists on this belief aspect for the group.. and now I find that he attacked you? It sets my plans back slightly.. but I belive Stormcloud and I can agree we don't want him within the group for he is.. well.. not the type of person I wish to associate with." Kobura hmms and shrugs, slowly removing a certified Ares Credstick to pay for the breakfast at once. He seems to have the habit to pay everything at once, you never now if youre forced to leave suddenly right ? The eurasian grins and shrugs slightly 'I forgave him already, he was in a strange situation and had a little problem ... his female companion shot him as well with a taser dart to stop him since my blow didnt knock him out completely ... ' he laughs softly and shakes his head. 'I helped her to carry him into a motel room ... I hope he is able to get rid of his aehm ... little drug problem ... maybe he isnt that agressive anymore after that ... ' He inhales softly 'Your scent is nice ... how is it called ?' Nina Reynolds listens closely and then offers to the question, "Strawberry.. its my shampoo." she grins at that, "The perfume I wore to the Noir last night I threw in the garabage.. I had like four guys try and maul me when I was wearing it." she chuckles, "So.. Worg's probably okay.. as long as I can get past is arrogent attitudes then?" Kobura hmms and seems to watch you for a bit 'I guess so ... Im arrogant as well, its hard for me sometimes not to get a real god complex ... ' he grins and touches his sleeve slightly. 'Four guys ? Wow, I guess every other girl would have bought tons of that stuff ... ' he chuckles. 'And Worg well ... ' he changes the topic again 'I guess he has potential, giving him a chance might be an idea ... ' Nina Reynolds nods as their drinks are delivered and waits to speak until the employee moves back about his duties, "You've seen what I've been developing thus far.. might you also be interested at some level? Your first post mentioned some shades of intrigue." Kobura sighs and rubs his nose before he leans closer a bit. He glances left and right but doesnt find anyone who might try to eavesdrop. 'I have to say ... the reason for me to join the group would be because then I would have the chance to see you more often ... ' he chuckles softly 'But, what I posted ... well, I will try to be honest ... Im ... aehm ... ' he seems to have difficulties to speak about that 'I am very close to my totem ... almost an Avatar, a scientist would probably call me a grade four initiate ... Im so close to my goal to become a part of Kobra itself, I am not sure if I could be useful in that group ... do you know what I mean ?' He pauses 'And do me a favour ... Im telling you this because I would like to reward your efforts, but dont talk about this to another person okay ?' he grins. Nina Reynolds listens closely and carefully, a seriousness flowing over her like a sheet of water as she shows the severity of the subject, she nods and replies quietly to Kobura, "I won't say a word to anyone. But I'm not sure I understand about why you don't want to join. Is it because you'd be slow'd down having to deal with us? Sort of like a geneous nuclear physisist having to teach 2+2 to first graders?" Kobura shakes his head 'No, its not like that ... I wouldnt have to teach you, I guess I dont know what I could teach you. I would try to explain you how to call the mystic powers with my words ... ' he grins 'I would teach you like a Kobra shaman ... I would tell you things like Do you feel the heat of your victims blood ? Do you know what he will do next ? Move like a Kobra sliding downwards a dune ... ' he shrugs 'I simply would have no idea what to do ... ' he grins 'Despite the fact that I would reveal every little bit of knowledge to the other group members ... ' he grabs the o-juice. 'Maybe we should start to eat hm ?' he grins again. Nina Reynolds turns to her meal when its delivered and eats for a while, speaking after the meal is half finished as things weigh on her mind, "We have two mages, two shamans already.. we have deffinate differences but I think the differences could be a strength. In diversity there is power. Sure.. we won't go about techniques exactly the same.. but the understaning of the other forms and the similarities between us I think we can all gain a wider understanding of ourselves and thus expand and grow as a whole and individually... but, that's just my concept, what I hope it turns out like." she offers a grin, "You flatter me by saying your reason to join would be because of me.. with all the other women in the city.. why would you waste your time on me?" Kobura sighs a bit 'Well ... at first Im not wasting my time, I already told you that Im having fun to talk to you ... youre ... different ... ' he grins 'Just the bad side is that I have a strange Karma somehow ... my ... aehm, contacts with women didnt end nice ... never ... ' he shrugs 'I just made it to stay together with a snake shaman for a few months ... the others, well tried to sell my corpse or wanted me to treat them like whores and stuff like that ... ' he laughs 'See, thats why youre different ... youre so nice ... ' he grins and pauses 'Maybe that magic group might be interesting ... Im just trying to be careful, a group of people who know all my weaknesses and my powers ... ya know ... Im not sure ... ' Nina Reynolds listens, seemingly happy that she's made a positive effect on the man beside her, a strange attraction on the 'friend' level with an unknown bit of intrigue at if anything would ever develop beyond that. She finishes her meal and then pushes the plate away and wipes the corner of her mouth with a napkin, "Can we talk more about this at our next breakfast? I don't wanna be late for work." She reaches and rests a hand on Kobura's knee, "It means a lot to me to understand you more." Kobura nods, chewing and swallows the last bit of his toast. 'Sure thing ... you shouldnt be late ... ' he checks his watch and suddenly looks down at his knee 'Ohhkay ... well, we will continue our chat next time then ... was nice to meet you ... ' he clears his throat. 'Bye then ... I guess ... ' he smiles a bit.
