Summary
The team goes out to drive around Redmond and get some supplies for a festival.
Background
Jack's been preparing for a good Halloween festival in Sophocles!
The Meet
Jack is in Sophocles, though now in a warehouse filled with animated skeletons. They're busy wrapping packages, carving pumpkins and stuffing pipes full of fireworks. Jack appreciates the team showing up and asks them to do some errands that he doesn't have the physical ability nor the mental capacity for: picking some paint choices from a store. He hands them a relatively good budget, a few hundred nuyen in a credstick, and hopes they find a general use paint that works for everything: bodypaint, walls, fabric, the works.
The Plan
The plan is to go and check up on a few places starting from a Redmond paint store runners oft employ to get paint grenades filled to a Bellevue furnishing store of a more expensive variety. Oh yeah, and Jack wishes they take care of a little phantom on a rooftop not far from his dwelling.
The Run
The phantom is relatively nearby and easy to find, though the team notices they're being watched from an alleyway. They climb up the stairs due to a defunct elevator and half of the team ends up panting and sweating by the time they go up all the floors to roof entrance. A little Force 1 phantom hides in a steel shack that barely withstands the wind blowing against it. There's a bit of tense negotiation with this little inkling of a spirit, offering to take his haunt elsewhere once Jack figures the ritual out; it appears the spirit haunts a CD-ROM, something none of the runners really recognize and are very confused by. With the spirit calmed and agreeable, the team goes to look for a good store.
They start with the one in Redmond, and while the shopkeeper recognizes them as runners by their behavior, he offers some disposable paint in purple, orange and black. Quality colors all around; though while it's not safe for eating, it's not toxic to the touch. The team buys several pallets worth of the stuff and offers to come drive it in with a pickup-truck. Unfortunately, the pilot soft in the car they have is trash, so they end up driving it through light early morning traffic manually. Talk about glorious shadowrunner life.
Aftermath
Jack gets his paint, he's real happy about it and offers everyone some infusion of karmic power, just like old times. Some accept it, others say they're good for now. Either way, Jack can't pay them much so they'll just have to consider this a night well spent in the service of celebration.
