Nenba raises her arm and lowers the gun that Adeon just took out in the middle of a bar

"Maybe not the best idea to take out a gun in public"
OOC:
As a hacker could I also help to see if I could sell it on the dark web?
Jan 31, 2024 11:23 pm
OOC:
Yup. But it would still be 2 rolls. A Connect to navigate the dark web to find someone reliable, a Trade to actually sell.

You cannot Program a contact, if that's what you're looking for.

Using that skill, as my sentence above shows, doesn't make sense. =)

Lyra looks amused by the public display of a military combat rifle. She quietly waits to see what will happen.

OOC:
PS: Everybody can roll almost all skills. An untrained person may not be that good in it, but its not a huge limitation and its just -1.

"Let’s see if I can find someone interested in that gun
OOC:
P.s.: for some reason I tough untrained skills were -2 so that 9 becomes a 10, I have +1 charisma and -1 untrained

Rolls

Secret Roll

Chr/trade - (2d6-2+1)

(55) - 1 = 9

OOC:
I'm ignoring and hiding that program roll, assuming it was a typo/mistake.

-2 is for an untrained weapon. But attacks are rolled with 1d20, so the odds are different there.
Nesta, you put an announcement in the dark web and can actually sell the gun and ammo, today, for the user GreekHorse76 for 300 credits in total. He asked if you could meet him in one hour... At a dimly lit, tucked-away cyberpunk bar known as "The Null Nexus".

You don't know who they are, but the price is good.

You smile when you realize the location.
OOC:
What do you do?
Jan 31, 2024 11:50 pm
"Adeon, found you a buyer for that gun, let's go meet him real quick before turning in for the night. Anyone else care to join?"

I wait for him and anyone one else that want's to follow
OOC:
I'm waiting for people just in case it's a trap or something, but fell free to skip it if we want to move it along
OOC:
@htech I must have misunderstood your previous message, i though you just said i would need two rolls, a hack to navigate the web to find someone, and a trade to actually sell
Jan 31, 2024 11:52 pm
OOC:
Oh, I see. Edited for clarification now. Sorry. Don't worry about that Program roll, already gone.

"Oh, I'm out. Don't wanna be near you during this kind of trade. Thanks for the business and feel free to contact me if you have the credits and need any further information about... Anything."

Lyra said before leaving.

Adeon gets closer to Ariel to see what he's playing
"What is that?" - Adeon points to the nintendo

"Here take the ammo buddy, I'm not interested in money" - Adeon gives to Ariel 80 rounds of ammo

Sitting at the table were Maya, Rogue, Phantom, Ariel, Adeon and Nesta.
OOC:
Please introduce and describe your characters and how/why they knew each other. Lyra contacted you about a job, that we will roleplay after your introductions
Sitting with his back to the wall in a strategically chosen spot for good visibility of everyone entering and exiting the bar, Phantom is keenly observing all the movements and side conversations at the adjacent tables.

He is dressed in a cyber-synthetic leather coat, with his face partially concealed by shadows due to the hood over his head. Only the twinkling lights from the cyberware implanted in his eyes, a procedure done with the help of Dr. Maya, are visible. Phantom uses these implants to enhance his psychic abilities.

Phantom was brought into the team by Nesta, not for his clean record, but for his psychic powers that could greatly benefit the team. Over time, he has earned the team's trust, which has grown due to the challenges and hardships they have faced together. This deep respect for all team members has developed through shared experiences and overcoming obstacles together.

Noticing Lyra approaching the table, he gave her his full attention, focusing intently on what she was saying.

OOC:
I think now that most people have spoken, we can proceed to the selling of the weapon, or to the next day if nothing of note happens with the sell, your call @htech
Feb 2, 2024 10:26 pm
OOC:
Can I help
Nesta and Adeon roll a connect to see if I know this buyer?

OOC:
Yup. I rolled for you @ligera, just to speed things up.
Maya you actually know a better person to sell that gun. A fence called Shade. A trustworthy fella that buys and sells anything and coincidentally is drinking something in this bar, right now. You can invite him to the table, if you wanna, while Nesta cancels her trade in the dark web.

Ariel thanks Adeon and start show him the game and teach him how to play.

Maya spots an old friend drinking by himself and talking to the bartender.

"Hey, wait a minute! Nesta, hold that thought about this suspicious online buyer, I might just have a solution!"

She gets up and walks towards a tall, handsome, and well-dressed man who smiles at the sight of her. They briefly hug, talk for a while, and walk back to the table. Maya calls everyone's attention and introduces Shade, a buddy of hers who is a great wholesaler, they've been doing business for quite some time, she then proceeds to help Adeon and Nesta negotiate Adeon's gun to him.

"Shade, here's the deal, Adeon doesn't seem to have any use for his military combat rifle anymore and he's looking for a buyer, he says it's in pretty good condition. I couldn't think of a better buyer than you, blessed be the destiny! So tell me, how much do you evaluate this rifle for?"

Shade stood up with an air of confidence, his silhouette casting a sleek shadow against the dimly lit cyberpunk ambiance. The eclectic mix of patrons barely glanced up from their dealings as he approached the table where Nesta and her companions were seated.

Nesta, engrossed in the rhythmic glow of her forearm, remained oblivious to Shade's approach until he smoothly pulled out a chair, creating a screech against the gritty floor. The sudden noise prompted her to lift her gaze, her cybernetic eyes adjusting to the newcomer. Shade, with his dark skin and chic demeanor, smiled.

"This is Shade," Maya said. "He's always interested in purchasing and selling stuff."

Nesta noted the confidence in Shade's eyes, a self-assuredness that hinted at a past intertwined with shady deals in Satton V.

Shade grinned, revealing a glint of silver teeth. "You could say that, sweetheart. Heard you guys have a real deal here." His eyes darted across the table, acknowledging the eclectic group gathered for this transaction.

"Unh..." - he checks the weapon registry in his dataslab. "Registered for Conocorp. Okay, I can handle that. 250 credits for the gun."
