Lu accepts Wyvern's request and then runs silent like Wyvern.
OOC:
@marithyme: Good thing you said it cause I never thought about running silent lol

Wyvern.s code mote reaches the camera's icon landing lightly in the lens blurring the vid feed slightly before disappearing into the icon. The baby monitor goes blip and the number 1 is replaced by a 2.
OOC:
Wyvern has a mark on the camera. So far you aren't finding the host too much of a challenge.

While Wyvern is taking control of the apartment's host what are Greer and Checkmate doing?

"While we're waiting for the camera, how do you think we should play this?" Checkmate asks Greer. "I don't want to give too much away in case Knight Errant get wind we're poking about on their case. The less trail we leave, the better, I'm thinking, but we'll have to give Iris a reason to trust us."

Wyvern pulls out the feed from the camera and sets it in a five-minute loop while the men are talking.

The video wavers slightly for a blink of an eye then the loop is set.

The loop plays on and on and on...

Wyvern suggests, "I'm no smooth-talker like you two, but maybe just be honest? Well, mostly honest? We tell her we've been hired to look for her boyfriend, and could really use her help."
Jun 14, 2018 1:36 pm
"I'm worried she might think we're looking for him for the wrong reasons. In that case she might actively mislead us, wasting critical time, or put us on someone's radar – that we'd rather not be on. I'm wondering how we can convince her our reasons are right, without giving up any crumbs that might lead back to us. How would you do that?" Checkmate says.

"Hired by his dad, who’s still worried and the first guy he hired flaked out on him?"

OOC:
So you heading up to the door? Is Wyvern doing anything about the door or the drone?
Jun 15, 2018 12:50 pm
Checkmate frowns. "I don't like putting his dad in the firing line, but I have to admit I don't have a better idea. Alright, let's go."

Checkmate will exit the car, walk up to the front door and buzzes, with whomever wants to go with him.

Not yet. Playing it straight for now. Mostly.

Lu is following them, keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary...

The grass on either side of the walkway is astroturf. Checkmate walks up to the door and finds the buzzer for Iris's room. A small vid screen with a paperclip transforming into a home (don't ask me how) loops until finally a woman answers the phone. Her voice is gravelly as if she has just woke up. It is 11pm. The vid screen is blurry but you can make out a young woman with dark eyes and dark hair. "Yeah, what the frag you want?" She asks sleepily.

"Is this Iris? I'm looking for Ray Watts. Do you mind speaking to me for a few minutes?" Checkmate says.
Jun 19, 2018 11:21 pm
"Ray?... What... Yeah this is Iris." She pauses a moment. "Wasn't Ray the guy looking for Geri? He's the detective." She goes off screen for a moment. You can hear the sound of coughing and vomiting. "I... sure we can talk. I suppose you want to come up stairs." The buzzer beeps and the door opens.

Lu notices the doberdrone is looking at Checkmate and Lu. It is just sitting there but its eyes seem to be analyzing the both of you. However, it just sits in its rest position as the door opens.

You all walk up to the elevator, unfortunately it has a sorry for the inconvenience. Elevator unavailable. sign up. So you have to walk up 4 flights of stairs. Iris's door is slightly ajar when you reach the top of the stairs. There is a slight antiseptic smell coming from the room. It is a stark room, slightly too warm, and very low light. There is a simple kitchen on the left and a small sofa with a trid setup on a stand in the main room. It looks like there is a small bedroom to the right. In AR the walls are decorated in posters and graffitti. Most is pop culture goth consumables.

Iris is wearing a black dress. He hair is cut very short and she looks like she has two black eyes. It isn't clear if that is from makeup or lack of sleep.

"Come on in." She says from the kitchen. "I'll make you some soycaff."

Wyvern's baby monitor blips and the number 3 pops up.
OOC:
I am assuming Wyvern is in the car. I am also assuming Greer is with Checkmate and Lu.

Wyvern make a Sleaze roll.

OOC:
Yup, in the car. Listening in on their comms. Straight sleaze?

OOC:
Sleaze and its matrix attrubute counterpart. I can't remember what it is and am too lazy to look it up.
Jun 20, 2018 11:49 pm
OOC:
I'm guessing I'm defending against a matrix perception? That would be logic+sleaze.

p.s., never played a decker before, for those who've just joined us. Open to suggestions\advice. :)

"Thank you," Checkmate says. "Ray Watts is missing. We're friends of his. We understand that Ray was working on Gerald's case. If you don't mind, I'd like you to fill us in on what happened, from your point of view. If the disappearances are connected, it might help us find them both."
