<div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/25/b0/7d/25b07da444be0f22cedcd5a94112bc0f.jpg)</div>OOC<br/><br/>The OOC mechanics.<br/>1. Carl isn't answering any questions; Blaine can leave him behind or take him (wolf form) with them.<br/>2. Frank can take one or both of the offered controls. One debt to Jane/John for each control.<br/>3. Taryn does have the option of staying behind but will lose one status (until time goes by) with Wild if she does.<br/>4. We'll advance the narrative to the point where the group drives off the Fight Club property, using the front or rear (if Frank takes a controler) entrance.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_u">In the Cage with Blaine and Carl</span><br/><br/>The wolf just whimpered at Blaine's questions; its tail was tucked between its legs, and it tried to position Blaine between itself and the people outside the Cage. Carl's wolf appeared willing to go with Blaine, but she wasn't getting any answers until Carl had a chance to change back.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Ring Side with Frank</span><br/><br/>John held up two small devices. The first looked like a garage door opener, while the second had a push-button switch with a plastic cover to prevent accidental depression.<strong>"The first is a door opener to the back exit. Drive to the rear of the lot and press the button; a section of the fence will open. There's a rough path across some open desert to get onto the road. You'll need to use the opener at the gate onto the road. Just call ahead before you use it as an entrance. The area is for testing ACVs - autonomous combat vehicles - and is rated for live fire."</strong><br/><br/>John held up the second control, the one with the plastic protector,<strong>"And this is a bit of the fruit of their testing ACVs. If you take the control box, I'll have the boys put a chest with the ACV in the back of your truck. It's a single-use device, but the ACV is tailored to dealing with Supernatural threats."</strong>John smiled; his mouth was just a bit too big and his teeth too long to be completely human. The effect was unnerving,<strong>"In fact, the ACV's designer is looking for some real-world testing."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"I can prevent them from killing you inside the fight club, but once you leave the grounds, you are fair game."</strong>John pressed the two boxes into Frank's hands.<strong>"So ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Or are you the type who likes to hedge their bets? If you feel lucky, leave the two controls behind."</strong><br/><br/>John turned and looked at the incipient brawl,<strong>"Hey, the only fights at fight club are inside the Cage. Break the rule, and not only you but the Fight Club will ban your sponsors."</strong>John scowled at the group,<strong>"And any idiots that want to fight, step into the Cage. I'll find a scratch team, and we'll see just how badass you are."</strong><br/><br/>John pointed to Blaine and Carl's wolf.<strong>"Fights over—you two out of the Cage. You can either go home. Or</strong>John's eyes flashed red,<strong>"Watch these idiots take on one of my scratch teams.</strong>Carl looked to the assembled group,<strong>"Unlike the real world, death isn't final in the Cage. So, all you're risking is a bit of pride.</strong><br/><br/>John paused for a moment, listening into his earpiece,<strong>"The boss says make it interesting. Ten grand buy-in for each challenger, and my team will pay out two to one for any challengers."</strong>John looked to the other fighters,<strong>"Even sized teams. The boss says she'll cover the extra odds for anyone on my side."</strong><br/><br/>The words hung in the air for a few moments. Then there was a chorus of,<strong>"Me, Me. I'm with you, John."</strong>Someone muttered,<strong>"This is gonna be Epic."</strong><br/><br/>The heavyset Russian was frustrated but in charge. He scowled and pointed a heavy finger at John,<strong>"Your day will come demon."</strong>He turned to the rest of the group,<strong>"We go."</strong>Then he turned to Blaine and let out a low growl,<strong>"She wolf, we'll see you and your pup later."</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Private Office with Jane and Taryn</span><br/><br/>Jane looked down at the events outside the Cage,<strong>"Just how attached are you to those two? Or perhaps the question is, how integral are they to your plans? There is some risk in going with them, but if you don't, you'll like lose them as allies."</strong><br/><br/>Jane smiled at John's challenge and whispered into a mike<strong>"Ten grand a head, two to one. Temping enough, they may take it."</strong><br/><br/><hr/><div align="center">Sometimes it takes a Brick (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=345659.0) <br/>We've Got a Problem (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344700.0)  <br/>Characters (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344531.0) <br/>Game Palette (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TQjkX1IbaF79Bcze6X7lX2ynGcwkx4AukKLXuqPe8WA/edit?usp=sharing)<br/>Urban Shadows Cliff Notes (https://docs.google.com/document/d/10Wjn-Pim2L0qUYcSCW7z6HzDZO0O5_1UQVbg1QWcGLc/edit?usp=sharing)<br/></div><br/>[/quote]
