	[[Moth]] here! This was my 32nd run. What a great team! Everyone had the right skills for the job. Folks who can plan and improvise. I really enjoyed dancing at the Vory club. Part of me wishes I could have kept the job. That's the life I might have if I hadn't become a runner. But my papa would hate me dancing for another syndicate, making them money. And he won't let me dance at his club, even though I would be so great, because it's a strip club, and I'm his daughter. Sometimes I worry that he just doesn't respect my art. All in all, though, I would gladly work with any of these runners again. They were great.		[[Moth]] here! This was my 32nd run. What a great team! Everyone had the right skills for the job.

	[[Moth]] pushed herself to perform the most distracting dance possible (11 successes!). It was so distracting that Nikolai did indeed set his commlink down on the table, attention focused solely on the stage. It was so distracting that [[Southpaw]] forgot entirely why she was there, and simply watched the dance. Luckily, [[Sea Breeze]] remembered their purpose and had just the right skills to finish the heist. She made herself invisible, and used a stealth spell to make herself silent. With the whole crowd focused on the stage, she had no trouble stealing the commlink right off the table, and walking out with it.

	[[Moth]]'s performance was done, so she too could leave, though she hesitated, making sure [[Southpaw]] also had an exit plan. [[Sea Breeze]] summoned a fire spirit and offered to send everyone running out of the club by triggering the fire alarm, but the team agreed there were better options. [[Southpaw]] continued talking with Nikolai to avoid raising suspicion, including providing the faked photo of Mashka shot in the back. Nikolai had not yet noticed the missing commlink. [[Southpaw]] excused herself to go to the bathroom, as they had planned for Mashka to do, and made a gymnastics dive out the window, running for the van. Unfortunately, due to her troll size, she got stuck in the window. She was able to break free with her considerable strength, but still wearing the windowframe, stuck around her. [[Moth]] was able to safely remove it, back in the Roadmaster, with careful artisanship ~~and [[Flyboy]]'s bolt cutters~~.

	Meanwhile, [[Sea Breeze]] and [[Southpaw]], disguised by [[Moth]] and using the password obtained by [[Flyboy]], investigated the gambling, establishing [[Sea Breeze]] as a gambler who might visit frequently over the next few days, with [[Southpaw]]'s first disguise as her bodyguard.

She had Mashka lay down on the ground, like she was shot, with the plan to have [[Flyboy]] doctor the photo with his computer skills. Unfortunately, his efforts to doctor the photo weren't convincing. [[Flyboy]] called [[Sea Breeze]] to come out and help them fake the death with a physical masking spell instead. Which worked quite well. [[Southpaw]] showed [[Flyboy]] the two pictures, and teased him about his skills. [[Flyboy]] insisted that Mashka lay down again for a third attempt which he would fake using the 2nd physical masking picture as a model. Alas, this attempt was even worse.

Which worked quite well. [[Southpaw]] showed [[Flyboy]] the two pictures, and teased him about his skills. [[Flyboy]] insisted that Mashka lay down again for a third attempt which he would fake using the 2nd physical masking picture as a model. Alas, this attempt was even worse. After more teasing, [[Flyboy]] retreated to the Roadmaster with Mashka safely under his protection, successfully extracted, while [[Southpaw]] and [[Sea Breeze]] returned for [[Moth]]'s show.		He made it clear to [[Southpaw]] that he was looking for a new bodyguard and part of her interview was to kill Mashka and bring him back a picture of her dead body so he knew the job was done. Mashka knew from [[Flyboy]]'s messages that they were actually there to help her, and went along with [[Southpaw]]'s request to take a walk with her outside. [[Southpaw]] had [[Flyboy]] join them. She had Mashka lay down on the ground, like she was shot, with the plan to have [[Flyboy]] doctor the photo with his computer skills. Unfortunately, his efforts to doctor the photo weren't convincing. [[Flyboy]] called [[Sea Breeze]] to come out and help them fake the death with a physical masking spell instead.

	[[Moth]] pushed herself to perform the most distracting dance possible (11 successes!). It was so distracting that Nikolai did indeed set his commlink down on the table, attention ~~focus~~ solely on the stage. It was so distracting that [[Southpaw]] forgot entirely why she was there, and simply watched the dance. Luckily, [[Sea Breeze]] remembered their purpose and had just the right skills to finish the heist. She made herself invisible, and used a stealth spell to make herself silent. With the whole crowd focused on the stage, she had no trouble stealing the commlink right off the table, and walking out with it.

	[[Moth]]'s performance was done, so she too could leave, though she hesitated, making sure [[Southpaw]] also had an exit plan. [[Sea Breeze]] summoned a fire spirit and offered to send everyone running out of the club by triggering the fire alarm. [[Southpaw]] continued talking with Nikolai to avoid raising suspicion, including providing the faked photo of Mashka shot in the back. Nikolai had not yet noticed the missing commlink. [[Southpaw]] excused herself to go to the bathroom, as they had planned for Mashka to do, and made a gymnastics dive out the window, running for the van. Unfortunately, due to her troll size, she got stuck in the window.		[[Moth]]'s performance was done, so she too could leave, though she hesitated, making sure [[Southpaw]] also had an exit plan. [[Sea Breeze]] summoned a fire spirit and offered to send everyone running out of the club by triggering the fire alarm, but the team agreed there were better options. [[Southpaw]] continued talking with Nikolai to avoid raising suspicion, including providing the faked photo of Mashka shot in the back. Nikolai had not yet noticed the missing commlink. [[Southpaw]] excused herself to go to the bathroom, as they had planned for Mashka to do, and made a gymnastics dive out the window, running for the van. Unfortunately, due to her troll size, she got stuck in the window. She was able to break free with her considerable strength, but still wearing the windowframe, stuck around her. [[Moth]] was able to safely remove it, back in the Roadmaster, with careful artisanship and [[Flyboy]]'s bolt cutters.

			They contacted the Johnson and handed off the commlink with the needed data, and safely returned Mashka to the Triad.


	==Aftermath==		==Aftermath==
			The Johnson was pleased and the runners got paid.

			The Triad at least attempted to steal the Vory shipment, based on the stolen information.

			Nikolai is likely quite suspicious of the bodyguard and dancer who disappeared and never returned, the same night that his commlink was stolen, but they were well disguised.

			16k (of which 2k was from negotiation) <br>
			4 karma (of which 2 karma was from completing the side objective) <br>

	Aight, so first job in Seattle and with the Haven, and, uh... Might not have made the best impression. I got distracted a couple times and was definitely not the smoothest operator there. And I might have been a little mean to Moth at one point. Oughtta walk by and drop a gift basket off tomorrow or the day after... But everything went great, and any job where I ain't gotta fight anyone is a good one, right?		Aight, so first job in Seattle and with the Haven, and, uh... Might not have made the best impression.

			[[Moth]] here! This was my 32nd run. What a great team! Everyone had the right skills for the job. Folks who can plan and improvise. I really enjoyed dancing at the Vory club. Part of me wishes I could have kept the job. That's the life I might have if I hadn't become a runner. But my papa would hate me dancing for another syndicate, making them money. And he won't let me dance at his club, even though I would be so great, because it's a strip club, and I'm his daughter. Sometimes I worry that he just doesn't respect my art. All in all, though, I would gladly work with any of these runners again. They were great.
