Tokyo Girl

[Brian]

Inside: There is a moment of hard staring, raising the ambient testosterone level in the room even further, likely setting world records.  "Fine," blond-thug says, shaking his head.  "Saves me the trouble."

He turns around and starts walking away.

Outside: Everyone aside from Bjorn and Tetsuo is now standing in the tunnel outside the brothel in a group, waiting for some explanation of what's going on.

[Bjorn]

"Apologies again," Bjorn says courteously to Michiko, before nodding to Tetsuo and following the yakuza out the door.

To the rest of the group, All right.  The yakuza are going to take us to Prometheus.  Or try and kill me, possibly, but I'm pretty sure it's the former.  We're headed out of the soapland.  Meet us outside.  If they go off in a weird direction, I'll let you know.

[Brian]

The Yakuza -- and there are seven of them in the main room of the soapland -- cluster in a loose formation following Blond-Yak.  Just in the tunnel, once Bjorn and Tetsuo clear the entry room (now empty), there's the greeter/pimp, and the same woman in a bathrobe.  Beyond them is a conspicious crowd of tourists containing the rest of the Order of Symmetry.

[Carthrat]

You want us all to meet up with these guys? How's about all of you do that, and I hang around, out of mind, and out of sight. In case something goes wrong.

Tom looks rather bamboozled to everyone else, even as he slips away as the rest of the Order approaches. I'll be around. Just lemme know where you're going so I can follow.

[Bjorn]

If you fall too far behind, you might need to fight to catch up with us.

[Carthrat]

Maybe. I don't really need to catch up to you if it's too hard and you're not in trouble, though. You can relay stuff to me, right?

[Dracos]

I like that notion.  Keeping at least  one of us out of sight. Dracos concurred with the rat.

[Rezantis]

I'll stay as well.


OOC: Going to try and see if Super Barbarian Rez doesn't need Stealth and Shadowing right now.

[Brian]

OOC:  These skills are currently availible to normal-Rez.

Blond-Thug leads the group of yakuza (and Bjorn and Tetsuo) down the hall, away from the remaining members of the Order.  He also produces a cell-phone, barking out quick instructions to have a car or two waiting at the street level.

[Dracos]

Dracos eyed bjorn, but, having already had one traumatic and life altering experience by playing prisoner, figured at the least, it wouldn't be that bad.  Walking alongside, they headed out behind the Yakuza towards street level.

[Bjorn]

If you guys don't think you can run as fast as a car, you'd better all join the group now.

Out loud, he says, "You might want to get three cars."

[Carthrat]

It's cool. We can get to whereever it is in a cab later. I saw that credit, Nathan!

[Rezantis]

I wonder how many plat a cab ride translates to.

OOC: Then I am -acquiring- stealth and shadowing for the meantime.

[Bjorn]

Do either of you speak Japanese?  Or are you hoping that "Follows those cars with gangsters in them, don't worry you won't get shot at" is some sort of universal linguistic invariant?

[Rezantis]

I don't expect to be able to provide effective backup to you at all.  However, if you are wrong, having two people not under the guns of these people may not be a terrible idea.
