Kovacs would stealth his way to the back of the club( stealth roll fail!)

There he would feel the club to pick up emotions and images ( matter 2 mind 2 1 success Assume I get general info)

Then he would get out a can of spray paint and begin tagging the building with an imbued message( imbue message 1 success.)

This message gives impressions of hazy smoke and load enviroment. the smell of drugs prevades the impression)

The glyph is vaugely archaic with flowing lines almost like smoke the paint is a greyish blue. The impression locked in the tag is full of load thumping beats and sweet smelling smoke flashes of a purple haze and someone grabbing at a dragons tail. Underlying all of these things is a sense of trying to find your footing and a need to set down roots.

2009-02-01 18:37:15 Nikki rolls 4 dice to Per + Alert 9,5,1,10 (1 success)

On her way back from her errands for Orphen, or at least the ones she imposes on herself, Nikki, tall imposing blonde that she is, is walking to the back of the Neon Burn while juggling a bunch of limes. I mean, that's at least 6 limes she's juggling her, quite a feat.

2009-02-01 18:38:58 Nikki rolls 7 dice to Dex + Perform 8,10,7,5,9, 10,9 (6 successes)

As she juggles, she is improvising some more lyrics on an old song she'd thought of one day. In a pure, visceral, deep metal growl, she announces "YOU MUST PURCHAAASE! ALL YOUR CITRUUUUUS!"

And that's when she spots Kovacs spray painting on the back wall of the Burn.

"Yo, kid! What do you think you're doing?"

Kovacs stops sliding his spray can into his hoodie he turns to focus on Nikki. When he turns you can see that he if rather young indeed looks around 15. His over baggy clothes make him seem larger then he really is. His eyes widen as he looks at you for a moment before he turns to run.

2009-02-01 19:39:52 Kovacs Kurosagi rolls 6 dice to RUN!!! 8,4,1,2,4, 9 (1 success)

Nikki skids to a halt, stops juggling, hauls back, and throws a lime at Kovac's back as he runs away.

2009-02-02 13:13:30 Nikki rolls 4 dice to Throwing a lime! 9,2,4,8 (2 successes)

The citrussy projectile hits him square between the shoulders, like a tiny green softball.

"Slow down, you son of a bitch! Not gonna hurt ya, just gonna make you clean it up, sheesh!" she hollers after him.

Kovacs takes the hit from the Lime and keeps running. 2009-02-02 13:18:31 Kovacs Kurosagi rolls 6 dice to take hit and keep running 3,5,10,6,9, 10 (4 successes)

[also I did get quite a few successes on my awareness + prime checking you out.}

((Sweetheart, you rolled perception + awareness; you don't roll spheres like prime with a skill, you just roll Arete for that...Like so))

Nikki sees the kid started to run again, and bites into her cheek, in a place she bites often, the blood flowing freely and easily.

"I SAID SLOW DOWN, MOTHERFUCKER!" she yells as she focuses her will.

2009-02-02 13:32:26 Nikki rolls 3 dice to Arete 5,5,7 (1 success) (Life 3: effect to skow down his muscle's response to the impulse to run, thus slowing him to a crawl before he can hide. Vulgar + 1, Focus -1 = diff 6)

(( I get that I turned on his prime sight and then made the per and awareness roll.)

((however, the feeling you did get off of the per+ awareness roll was that this woman is not mormal))

((Oh, sorry about that, missed the prime sight roll; with the prime sight alone you would have seen she's awakened, like Gand in the current scene with you in the White Rabbit..no need to roll anything more ^_^))

Still struggling to overcome his muscles new inability to help him he rolls over and clutches the spray can in his hand.

Nikki will feel the weight of the backlash forming around her like an oppressive cloud.

[Nikki gains 4 paradox that will hold, for now.]

Nikki walks up to him, as nonthreateningly as possible.

"Dude, that's my buddy's club you were tagging...It's cool though, I'm not gonna hurt you, shit. Just tell me why you were doing that here of all places, maybe I'll help you clean it up and take you inside for a coke or something, huh?"

2009-02-02 13:43:04 Nikki rolls 8 dice to Cha + Expression 2,10,3,6,8, 8,10,3,3,10, 2 (6 successes)

You're quite enclined to believe that she means you no harm, and she is quite nice to you. There's something just charming and captivating about this woman, in her busted up leans and old ratty ass t-shirt for some band whose logo you can barely read, leaning over you with a smile.

Still holding the paint can slightly in front of him he still looks scared but starts talking.

"look I was just thought maybe this place would be someplace where I could find some friend. I didn't think I could get in being this young so I was trying to leave a message on the back wall for someone to find."

"Please don't spray that paint at me, I really love this shirt," she says, grinning.

Her eyes narrow as she fells the backlash building up around her, like evil static electricity.

"Leaving a message? That doesn't look like the normal kind of signs I see the homeless put up...wait a minute."

Nikki looks back at the message, concentrating a bit. Something has definitely struck as odd about this kid and his talk of friends and messages.

2009-02-02 13:57:27 Nikki rolls 3 dice to Watch the Weaving (Prime 1, diff 4, -1 known rote = Diff 3) 4,5,10 (3 successes)

"Oh..hmm...OH" she says as she turns back to look at the kid. "Oh shit, kid, you better come inside, I'll take you in the back way...Leaving that sort of message can attract some...really bad guys. I've got friends on the inside, real chill guys. We can probably help you out."

She extends a hand to help Kovacs up as his muscles start responding again.

He would slowly take her hand. His eyes looking wild and scared. Talk of bad guys has him twitchy and ready to bolt. He does lower the spray can as he is doing it. But he doesn't just follow her his eyes cast around the alley area looking around for any "bad guys or possibly quick ways to lose this chick. Everyone seems to want to help him but how is he to know who to trust.

Nikki helps him up, and begins walking towards the back entrance of the Neon Burn, still holding his hand.

"So, you've probably figured out you can do...weird stuff, right?" she asks. This kid is so young, he must be really new to all this.

"Well, there are some of us who can do weird stuff and enjoy it, and there are others who try to stop it. It's why we can't be too obvious...although I'm pretty bad at not being obvious. But this is a good hiding spot. They keep it really low key, try not to set off any alarms...we really need to clean that thing off of the wall, though, they make it a point not to have any...er..weird stuff around here."

Kovacs would detect an undeniable Scandinavian accent as Nikki speaks and gently drags him toward the club. She seems nice enough, though she's sure this poor kid is totally freaked out, if he's as new as she thinks he is. Shit, he's young.

"So yeah, my name's Nikki, what's yours?"

He tries to pull his hand away from her and you can definatly pick up that this kid isn't used to human contact.

"What do you mean weird stuff. The worlds been like this for years now. its a nightmare. I don't think I want to go in there..."

"Shit, kid, that graffiti over there is full of that weird stuff I'm talking about! Didn't you know you were doing something different while you were painting it?" she asks, somewhat confused.

"Come on, I don't have to hold your hand the whole way, but these are good guys, just a couple of stoners who run this club, they'll be good for you to know, and this is a good place to hide if you need to. So's my place, right across the street."
