OOC:
Results of Guy's Cool check in previous post.
Outside Bosko paces back and forth waiting for this to be over. "Man... I don't know what I did to deserve this..." Everything is quiet from inside the bar so far.

"What's a matter, Bosko? Having trouble choosing? I imagine the list of possibilities is pretty long." He holds a box of cigarettes out, but if Bosko reaches for one he jerks it away, angling it toward Hank and giving Bosko a wry frown and shake of the head before taking one himself.

"How about both? Something fruity for the drink. A screwdriver, if you please. And something light for food. I've always been a simple sandwich guy. Maybe a BLT? Or a club sandwich if you have the ingredients for one. Also a drink for this lady here, whatever is her fancy." Guy turns to the guy with the HH tattoo and makes an obvious point of looking at it, grins, and says to him, "Hugh Hefner was a great man, may he rest in peace."

"You would know what you've done moreso then us, chalk it up to Karma or the universe giving you a wakeup call. Once you're done with your cancer stick you ready to go inside?" Max states before looking to Marv.

The man with the tattoo snorts and coughs at Guy's comment, sending half-chewed roast beef onto the counter. He looks up slowly and makes eye contact with the bartender, who gives a sigh and a nod. The tattooed man then stands up and spins to get into Guy's face. "You sure you in the right place, old man? You missed the Denny's 'bout a mile back." All eyes in the bar are now on the two men.

Guy can feel the eyes on him. Maybe he shouldn't have picked a fight so early in the plan.
OOC:
Boosts for having so many buddies around. Setback for working against Guy's egotistical flaw.

Just some speculative internal monologuing above; not meant as a judgment call. :) Guy gets 2 setbacks on the next check he makes.

"Oh, Bosko is your friend a runner? Not to say Hank might decide to chase him by car and dink him. Just asking..." Max asks standing straight and rolling his neck slowly in small circles.
Mar 31, 2020 2:37 pm
"We ain't buddies. I hardly know the guy. He's into supplies. I'm into sales."
Mar 31, 2020 3:23 pm
Max shrugs his head bobbing to the side in acknowledgement, "So you have a supplier and rivals that might up and kill you out of jealousy and paranoia on a regular basis even without us around the others not really caring if they find out you show up injured or dead for whatever reason. And that's without Law Enforcement storming in and raiding the neighborhood lab; if there was one, is what you're letting us know?" Max states eyeing Bosko with a sideways glance, "Make changes in your life Bosko or your life will change you..." he warns looking to Marv and gets ready to head in.

"Denny's? I don't believe they serve alcohol there. Besides, I'm more of an IHOP guy, myself. No, here is just fine. Although you are a little too close for comfort. Invading my personal bubble," guy makes a motion with his arms to show an invisible bubble around him. "And is this how you treat your elders here in Rumble City? A guy gives a compliment on your Hugh Hefner tattoo and you start some aggressive display like a threatened gorilla. Do you feel threatened Mr...?"
OOC:
I wasn't trying to start a fight, just cause a distraction so the others could slip in less conspicuously. And feigning innocent about knowing what HH really stands for. If he tries to start a fight, I'll try to teach him to respect his elders lol. Otherwise just trying to make a distraction and seem like a harmless older guy.

Marv drops his cigarette on the ground and grinds it out with the toe of his shoe, "I'd listen to the kid if I was you, Bosko. He's wise beyond his years." He nods his chin at the bar, "Let's roll, Max."
Mar 31, 2020 4:24 pm
"So how about I tell a story involving a huy cheating at cards loudly going in with you in a headlock. For the horn some kid flipped when I slide over his truck hood to show what I did in the story followed by getting the guy in a headlock and we laugh about it as I let you go. Fully vertical for a deadman's tombstone in the place would be in bad taste and well you're not getting any younger." Max offers up before they enter.

OOC:
Nezzeraj, maybe I misread your post (two posts ago). You mentioned wanting something for "this lady here," so I read your comment as directed at the guy with the tattoo? Did I misread that? If so, my apologies. The Heffner comment wouldn't have been so provoking if it's not tied to the woman comment.

Either way, based on Guy's comment directly above (about the guy acting like a gorilla), a fight's about to break out. If that's not what you'd intended, nezzeraj, feel free to edit the post to play up the "I'm a senile old man" angle and try a Deception check versus PP+2 setbacks for being rattled.

However, if you don't want to edit Guy's rebuttal to be less confrontational, just roll a Cool check for initiative. This won't have a difficulty, but it will get the 2 setbacks. In this case, the folks outside will need to roll Vigilance checks, as they haven't come inside yet.

OOC:
I thought there was a lady at the bar besides the bartender he was flirting with. ABC, Always Be Checking, amirite?

"I'm a ripe 36, kid! You'll be lucky to be looking this good when you're my age." Marv laughs at Max's implication before bending at the waist and presenting his neck for a headlock, arms extended and thrown back away from his flanks, "Take the lead, mon frer."

Yeah, there was a lady at the bar in the description so that's who I was ordering the drink for. But maybe the guy misunderstood so this could be a meta game mistake that turns into a fun in game misunderstanding.

Hank smirks at Max and Marv as they prepare their headlock routine, then looks at Bosko. "See, Bosk? With these two around, nobody'll give a flying fart about you coming in to use the john."

That's one helluva cockblock, excuse me miss how you doing, you picking a fight with me! well no but I guess we can go a round if you want...
Max barges in with Marv in a headlock, "Man that kid flipped when I slide over his hood even honked to get me off. Anyway so I realized the guy was cheating when he played two Aces of Spades. Everyone looked at it as he tried to pull in the pot since he didn't notice, so I walked around the table and grabbed him like this and went for his belt..." Max states loudly going to lift Marv before he stops and looks around. "*Sniff* Yall got burgers n fries?"

Rolling initiatives...

Initiative order is below. More threats will join after the first round (at the bottom of that round). If Max wants to stumble through the door with Bosko, that's fine, but that counts as your first PC slot. Let me know if you want to have someone else go first instead.

I think he was stumbling through with Marv doing a little play acting. That still seems like a good use of the first slot (If you'd allow it seeing as it would be moving two of us) since nothing has fully popped off yet.
