As he wonders forward to the garage he lets his senses flow out and let him feel the world around him more precisely he reaches out with his new senses his hand clutching at the spray can in his bag and feels out for the minds of those in the building.2009-02-03 23:40:55 Kovacs Kurosagi rolls 2 dice to arete mind2  (Diff 5) 6,2 (1 success){foci spray can] the rote simply allows him to feel teh surface thoughts of those nearby this coupled with prime sight he is trying to get a feel for teh garage and its inhabitants]

Edit: First issue resolved---

While im ranting, Kovacs. Start using a spellchecker or utilize the edit button at the top right of your post. The constant grammatical and spelling errors really detract from your character and reading 'teh' over and over again is really starting to bug the shit out of me.

Sorry will go back and correct this I apologize again.

[Thank you.]

Kovacs will pick up some lingering resonance from the garage. Theres not much here, but there might have been a few months back. Creeping around he will quickly realize this is a private garage and there are no attendants or mechanics present. Should he peek through the windows he will see that the Garage is stocked with tools and equipment all still in its original packaging but there is no sign of a vehicle.

2009-02-04 13:33:53 Kovacs Kurosagi rolls 10 dice to Stealth 7,4,6,4,3, 1,5,9,8,1 (2 successes)[3 arcane] Moving slowly around the building he will slip smoothly into the shadows which only deepen the shadows around his face which was already dirty and hidden by the hoodie. check for any current inhabitants. as in is anyone home. He knows not to bust into a place when anyone is around but those seemed like some nice tools sitting there unused.Which means money to be wasted. Who knows what goodies he could find. He may have just scored a "job" after all.

The garage is entirely vacant. As Kovacs circles he finds a few low windows he could easily fit through that would take him into the basement- from there he should be able to get right up inside the garage easily. For the first time in a few days, his small stature is working to his advantage.

(ooc the sheet and books I was working out of dont have security...blarg)

Kovacs slides up to one of the low windows and looks inside as well as looking for any obvious locks and what not.

[Weird, maybe im thinking the vampire sheet. Either way you got 2 successes.]

The window is locked but has no alarms or anything obviously attached to it. The wind is cold and off in the distance Kovacs can hear the grinding of the massive crane at the center of the scrapyard.

Kovacs would riffle through his back pack and produce a small pry bar that he keeps for just such and occasion and try to use it to pry the window open. As he does this he contemplates force and stress on the lock as well as his own pressure and the fact that the lock seems to have been installed rather badly.

2009-02-04 15:53:14 Kovacs Kurosagi rolls 2 dice to Arete matter 2 (Diff 4)[-1 foci pry bar][coincidental]   6,6 (2 successes) using matter 2 to make the wood that the lock is worked into wet and plyable so that when he uses the pry bar it will poop the lock and open the window.

The lock will pop easily, some of the wood coming away with it. The basement window swings open and a blast of warmer, damp air flushes over Kovacs. Someone comes here frequently enough to turn on the heating system but apparently not enough to use all the tools upstairs.

[Without a light source or other means of seeing Kovacs will be considered blinded when he enters the basement.]

Noticing the darkness inside Kovacs will pull into himself once again this time checking some stuff in his notebook of maps and notes on the city letting his mind focus on the way everything fits together and relates to one another.

Slipping in through the window he would close it behind him and slump down letting himself take stock of the new room he is in.

After a few moments of study the layout of the basement should become clear to Kovacs. He can navigate his way to the stairs and up them in the darkness. He will find the door unlocked upstairs and there is enough light from outside to see where hes going at least.

[All sight based rolls will be at +1 difficulty inside the garage.]

Kovacs would quietly study what is in the garage looking around for anything worth some cash or useful for life on the streets.

The high ticket items are all large and heavy. Compressors and generators, vehicle lifts and welding equipment are all out of the question for being burgled. There is an assortment of powertools and handtools as well as a bunch of boxed aftermarket car parts most of which go to either a Land Rover, a Lexus or an Aston Martin. Whoever owns this garage obviously has some cash to throw around.

Mostly looking for a couple of nice B&E tools and maybe cash or a refrigerator with food in it, some clothing, anything that could be handy on the street. Also sniff around I am sure there are gear heads that like to smoke and one with money may keep some dank bud on hand.

2009-02-06 10:29:37 Kovacs Kurosagi rolls 7 dice to per + investigation (Diff 4)(-2 acute sense smell) 5,4,6,5,9, 2,10 (6 successes)

Kovacs will smell nothing but dirt and plastic wrapping. It would appear all this equipment was recently delivered to the garage and simply left here. There would be a few prybars or tools useful for breaking and entering but there is no sign a mechanic has ever been here. There is a small fridge in the office but it sits unplugged and unused. There is no stray cash or drugs and even the shipping reciept has just four out of twelve credit card numbers on it under the name 'Alice White'.

Finding nothing worth stealing he will go back down stairs and try to smash the lock back into its broken area. Like lay it smooth on the wood that was splintered by the opening.

He would then slide out pushing the window closed behind him and move off back into the town surrounding the garage, pulling his hood up he would move away from the building in the shadows.

Once he is a few blocks away he will begin trying to find a place to smoke a bit and look over his notebook and maps to make notes of what he found at the garage and begin planning his next move.
