After a series of back and forth emails between myself and one 'V.A.', the details of my team's next mission have been worked out in full.
Unlike previous missions, this is not a delivery, but a...recovery job, as it were. There is an item our client would like us to acquire, steal really, from an uninfected third party. If our client is to be believed(and my research suggests that they are) this item is an important Fear artifact that could potentially be triggered merely by third party possession. As such, we mean to obtain it for V.A., since they are already infected and could not suffer worse having the item in question.
I am told that what we are retrieving is quite valuable. A book of some variety, leather-bound, the image of a quill on the front, writing on the side. Untranslateable language within. Clearly, what we are looking at is related to the Blind Man, a Fear most commonly associated with age or loss of memory. It is unclear whether there will be any supernatural defense of this item, but our client assures me that the book is surrounded by quite tight human security, and thus its acquisition provides a logistical challenge.
I dare say that challenge may prove to be quite enjoyable.
Currently, our whole team is set to undertake this mission, as the risks and requirements of stealing a book from such a well-guarded place necessitate all hands on deck. I suspect that we may encounter some type of supernatural security as well, but that is simply my own personal superstition acting up, and as such I have only accounted for it minimally. V.A., our client, will rendezvous with us prior to the missions acquisition and assist us in claiming it. The book will be handed off to them after and we will part ways.
Since there are a great many parts to this game we will be playing very soon, there may be some delay between our meeting with VA and the mission itself. However, I do not expect this task to take more than one week in the making, and so anyone still in need may feel free to comment or email us looking for assistance. We will attempt to answer any and all requests we receive in this time. Rendezvous with V.A. is set to take place two days from now. Expect more on that as it occurs.

I bet I know what this is about.
ReplyDeleteSome people get to do all the cool shit. Gray's mostly into huddling in a corner crying. SO MUCH FUN! XD
ReplyDeleteOK, yeah look, uh... The Pizza thing didn't work out so well, but I am willing to give you guys another chance. So, I would like to order a triple cheeseburger... Not sure if there is an official name for that shit, with a large thing of fries. Add some ketchup to the Burger, I like to pretend it's... Well you know... Heheheheheheh... And uh... You know what, add a Chicken Sandwich to that, because I hear if you stick one in the middle of a Burger you end up with pure heaven, and that sounds amazing. Also get me a large Sweet Tea. That's ICED Sweet Tea, for you Yankee dipshits. Need a little taste of home now that I am on the other friggen side of the country.
ReplyDeleteStill 15 Minutes or less Mr. Reynolds. Don't disappoint me again. You wouldn't like me when I'm disappointed.
No.
DeleteWhy.
DeleteYou know why.
DeleteNot really, no. But I am beginning to think your Customer Service department SUCKS.
DeleteMal, are you sure this doesn't fit in my job description? Delivery is couriering and food budget is one of the things we covered in our suggested services. I don't 100% understand why we're turning him down. Is it the time constraint?
DeleteI'll tell you why. Racism. Prejudice. DISCRIMINATION.
DeleteI DIDN'T EVEN ORDER HUMAN FLESH THIS TIME! Unless... You know, maybe I killed someone he knows or something. I mean, it isn't impossible. I killed a lot of people, and there a lot of people yet to go. So who was it Captain Reynolds? Was it your Inara? A kid? A parent? Maybe a friend?
His requests aren't serious, and individual meals would be wasting our time for minimal benefit.
DeleteHOW DARE YOU SIR. My requests are COMPLETELY serious. Do you not understand how HORRIBLE it is over here closer to the Pacific? I get homesick every time I look at MOUNTAINS. Really need that goddamn Tea.
DeleteWhat is with the vendetta anyway? You have been hostile towards me since I first started commenting here. Something wrong? I thought you served Proxies in addition to Runners.
For anyone reading who is unaware: Morningstar is infamous for his 'comment trolling', wherein he antagonizes and annoys others whom he dislikes through the comment sections of their blogs. Of course this same animosity would extend to any real life encounter with him, and thus, if this is truly Morningstar returned from the grave, I have no reason to trust that any request on his part is serious or harmless in nature. I trust those reading will understand.
DeleteOh, but you DO have reason to believe me harmless. Our Glorious Free Market Masters don't want Proxies to be killing, or maiming, or attacking anymore. So whats the worst I could do? Give you a hug? Go deliver presents to Orphans? Proclaim my undying love and brotherhood with the entire world? I am COMPLETELY harmless. I would NEVER cross our Glorious Lord Guardian Protector Commander General Imperator Basileus or whatever his title is.
DeleteI guess here is as good as any for a quick PSA:
DeleteI wouldn't trust him. The Morningstar isn't one of mine and the title, assuming it isn't the same person, has a pretty blood thirsty history.
While I, and the Free Market, are pushing for proxy and runner civility I only account for maybe 1/3rd of the active proxies. Even then that number could be a little high. There could be more meaning I account for even less. And both in and outside my sphere of influence, who is to say how many are abiding by our ethics and new ways.
For as much as I try to change one thing remains true, you really can't trust anyone. Proxy, Runner, or my Sentinels. Turns out people are crazy and dangerous. Who knew?
just do as he says. sometimes it's the only way until theres NO CHOICE
DeleteSounds like a bad idea.
DeleteMorningstar, email me at lookingforanotherchance@gmail.com
DeleteOnce the heist is over I'll bring you several gallons of sweet tea. I'm a southern girl myself, and I know I'd go nuts without a good supply of tea.
but sometimes there's no choice
Deletei wish he had asked me for a pizza and not to KILL THST CHILD OH GOD I CANT EVEN REMEMBER HER NAME GOD HELP ME
I don't think I like your name very much, Ellen. And I think I ordered more than some Sweet Tea.
DeleteHeheheheheheh. Amazing the power a simple name has over some people.
Tell me something Ex-Lord Guardian Protector Snuggles... And dear, precious, broken little Sanna, do you really think I'm actually back? Literally ANYONE could be using this account. It's not like my speech patterns are hard to mimic, right?
Doesn't matter. When you bare the title you take on it's burdens. It's responsibilities and it's sins.
DeleteFor all I know you're a well read 10 year old playing pretend behind a monitor but as long as you are playing the Morningstar you are as good as a violent, untrustable, psychopath that may very well be in dire need of being put down as the rabid animal we knew the last title holder to be.
DEAR? PRECIOUS? FUCK YOU! WHY would we take the fucking RISK??
Deleteyou're DEAD DEAD DEAD TO ME YOU ALWAYS WERE
I don't think I like yours very much either. And we don't deliver food, but I thought I'd do you a favor with the tea. If you don't think that's good enough, then too damn bad.
DeleteMy. That's an interesting acquisition you're looking to make there. Its so interesting its almost like its not courier work. And while I myself am interested in what sounds like a very intriguing artifact, and not that this is a threat mind you because it's not, your contractual protections only extend to courier work... so good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteExpect a phone call.
DeleteOhohoho man I'm looking forward to this...
