I'll try to join in the Discord, but I don't know how much I'll be able to catch you all online -- I think I'm on a pretty different time zone! We'll see how it goes, I suppose.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=328236.msg15710975#msg15710975">Quote from: Annaamarth on 09-01-2021, 20:49:49</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Snowdrop - How does Stella feel about being a honeypot, about using a show to distract gangers and maybe being expected to flirt or otherwise delay them? Is she going to try hard to delay them?  Is Stone playing a "look kid, sometimes you gotta do things to make it big, but trust me - this will help your brand!  'Sense like this, it'll make you stand out, like the runners down in LA" angle on her? (Also a Pix question).  If things go south, how does <em>Snowdrop</em> feel about rapid escalation into noncon or dubcon territory?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>If/when Stella becomes a bona fide shadowrunner, "the go-to honeypot" is what her cookie cutter job would no doubt end up being! That said, I doubt Stella really understands what she's getting into at all yet. I'm thinking she has quite a romanticized idea of what being a "shadowrunner" really means, and after getting over her initial shock of actually going to help on a real run, she'll consider it a super exciting adventure and will try her best to help. Especially if her job is to just be a distraction far away from where the actual run happens; it shouldn't be too hard to sell her the idea that "what's the big deal, all you need to do is put on one concert, you do that three nights a week anyway".<br/><br/>She definitely wouldn't expect to have to do anything beyond performing and some casual flirting, but she also has no idea how these things can escalate. I mean, I'd be shocked if a gang of burly troublemakers wouldn't be wanting to get at least a little handsy with the elf hottie who's wandered too close to their territory. And if it ends up escalating to the full-on gangrape territory... well, she needs to be broken in one way or another!<br/><br/>As far as<em>snowdrop </em>is concerned, dubcon/noncon territory is very welcome.  ;)<br/><br/><br/>The rough plan does sound good to me, but like Hexed mentioned, the team pulling off the actual heist needs to have some way to bring in the fake briefcase. Plant it somewhere in the hotel beforehand? Or have Junkcat on the roof with the dupe, with the idea that the "escorts" will open up a window for her to slip them the fake and carry out the real goods?<br/><br/>Also; thinking about it, maybe it's a bit optimistic to think a gang would just flat out skip their lucrative hit just to listen to some broad at the bar. Maybe we should combine the ideas mentioned, and while Stella is distracting them inside, Butterfly meanwhile messes with their bikes? (That's the plan, anyway, anything can happen...)
