<strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Entering without attempting to conceal yourselves on the red carpet will permit vague recognition rolls from the onlooking "Fans" and the "Media". Each group gets a single roll. But just because they recognize you doesn't mean people start screaming out who you are, rushing barricades and the like. Reactions (or lack their of) will be appropriate to your backgrounds/qualities. If you want to make an even BIGGER impression, a simple Charisma test (no modifiers for tailored pheromones or other situational modifiers here) with successes going to a specific thing later in addition to providing a minor bonus to onlooker's recognition rolls...</li><li>Entering through the red carpet but not wanting to be seen or recognized will require a Charisma + Infiltration roll as you blend in with other arriving stars. A glitch means you do something to effectively make yourself stand out, where as a critical glitch would mean you stumble, fall and bring down a nearby person who could very well be a famous simstar... needless to say, you'll be on the news. Successes reduce the amount of dice the 2 onlooking groups can use against you, but might also have effects later...</li><li>Or you could attempt to sneak past the red carpet. Not entirely unheard of, by doing so you'll bypass the possible benefits, and most of the pitfalls. It's a bit of a social faux-paus in 'hollywood circles' per say. A Logic + Infiltration roll with a threshold of 3 successes is all that's required to bypass the red carpet and enter the Space Needle's main lobby (there's only one door into it), that is once you're through the security barricades.</li></ul><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Huang</strong></span><br/><br/>At 2013-09-17 04:59:37, SN Security (uid: 29915) rolls: 12d6 tn1: 5 Result: 3 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=50224)<br/><br/>Huang was just sitting down for a cup of soycaf when he spotted an opportunity that was just too good to be true. Never let it be said the rabid fan was never useful to a Shadowrunner. With so many security guards and drones monitoring the barricaded perimeter there would be almost no way to enter unseen... that is before three young girls, all wearing homemade "WE LOVE YOU STEWART!!" t-shirts and looking every single bit the part of ravenous fangirls broke from the thin crowd that circled the needle's barricaded area and jumped blatantly passed the guardsmen and drones on a direct line for the red carpet area!<br/><br/>In response, security immediately collapsed upon the charging girls, drones repositioning themselves along the barricaded border and like a well oiled machine the guardsmen put hands to ears to listen to orders to spread the line to cover the barricaded area without a gaping hole where the guardsmen now chasing, tackling, and shackling the three girls had been. Well oiled and coordinated they were, Huang could see it from here, a single guardsmen had come to work with a cold or other illness, he was slower than the rest, inattentive and unresponsive... and on the opposite side from where the girls had entered. Springing into step he used the shadows cast by a conveniently faulty street lamp, flickering every few seconds, to leap the barricade and practically smell the ill man's overpowering cologne as he blew by him without barely rustling his hair let alone alerting him.<br/><br/>He had cleared the barricade and was quickly among the massed horde of fans and media personalities, non of whom were looking behind themselves, entirely focused on the red carpet infront of them. It would take little effort for him to slip through the crowd and bypass the red carpet all together and into the lobby...<br/><br/>((All that's left is to make the Cha+Infiltration roll to slip passed the media and fans along it's edge and bypass the red carpet))<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Everyone Else</strong></span><br/><br/>Pulling up to the vehicle que for the red carpet entrance and waiting your turn proved expedient enough, vehicles came and went quite rapidly and with a quick flash of your invitation your vehicle was permitted entry and one by one you each pull up to the roped off red carpet entrance where there was perhaps a dozen or more people slowly walking the lines, pausing for interviews, pictures, signing autographs, but a few simply gave a wave or two before soldiering on towards the Space Needle's lobby, clearly they either weren't famous themselves, or they were cultivating an image at the dictation of their PR firms...<br/><br/>Those arriving on foot at the queue weren't treated with suspicion as some might have thought, but were given a bit of extra scrutiny when it came to their invitation. Seemingly uncaring about the length of the ID attached to it, barricade security waved you in and a nearby man, looking every part the 'anxious young executive who thinks this job assignment is almost secret-agent like', waves you over to a sheltered tented area simply marked<em>"Security and Logistics"</em>.<strong>"Right this way please, will you be walking the carpet or attempting to slip in today?"</strong>he asked in an excited manner. In the tented area were men and women who couldn't stand out more in their suits, ties and skirts as being "Hired Security" if they were wearing badges. As you each approach, a single security suit of the opposite sex would stand and move up behind the excited tuxedo'ed executive.<br/><br/>((Everyone else, be you on foot or by car, you have the options listed at the beginning of this post for your arrival. Those choosing to slip passed the red carpet will be escorted by a single suited security agent (for your safety, no telling what the horde of fans might do!) and you'll need to make the roll as outlined above. Those who are proceeding down the red carpet (if by foot you'll get the 1 agent escort down the sidewalk to the red carpet's beginning) can choose to act normal, blend in, or "make the scene" as you wish by the rules above. You all may, during your next post, write up the entire entrance scene to your liking based on how well you rolled. This is a chance for extra karma being granted for a detailed post, unique aspects, and of course how accurately you portray your rolls...<br/><br/>Things you'll need to know. This is the private "Hollywood Screening" of the new Suki Fireflower shadowrunner film, "One Last Run". The project was a large undertaking that caps off the 9th film in the series and speculation has been high that Suki, the series title character, might die during the film's ending and finish the series. Further to that fact is that is the astonishing army of sim-talent that signed on for the film, as nearly a dozen BIG named stars recorded simdata for it in their appearances. The red carpet is littered with famous sim and trideo stars, their families, their agents, producers, directors etc etc. Feel free to include your own imagining of "Hollywood Movie Star" such as the sixth world's version of RDJ or any other big name of your choosing and either bump into them, say hello in passing, compliment one another on your outfits... but don't go crazy, of course. Tailor it to your rolls, if you glitched, don't turn your glitch into a "I stumbled but made friends with a hot simstar!", a glitch is still a glitch...<br/><br/>Show me what your characters can do, and stop yourselves once you enter the lobby, a place where other stars are queuing up for the 2 active elevators heading up to the 3-levels on which the party and screening is being held. Nearby are refreshment tables and a small lounge area set up for stars to wait for one another and a special Media-Area where all the banners and backdrops of the movie are put up to do interviews and the like. Do keep in mind, our red carpet entrancers... your characters might be who they are, but onlookers are going to be wondering why you might be there if your name isn't in the credits, movie-fan blogs or anything related to the movie...<br/><br/>People sneaking by, fret not, your chance for extra karma writing, with the red-carpeters not being able to do so, will be coming later ;) ))
