Round 84: The Kidnapping of Tiffany Jamesson

PLAYERS: Isamu Fuwa, Quicksword Irene, Hajime Aikawa VS. Bucky Barnes, Daylight vis Lornlit, Inara Serra
LOCATION: Tycoons' Depot
GOAL: Assume and maintain custody of Tiffany Jamesson
WARNINGS: Kidnapping, attempted murder, sex work mentions
OTHER: OOC post for plotting and questions!

After traveling most of the day, the sun is starting to set when the two teams reach Tycoons' Depot. Who arrives first depends on how quickly the teams get up and organized that morning, and how hard they want to push their horses.

The active portion of the round doesn’t start until the next morning, anyway. After scouting around and making plans, everyone can enjoy a room at the Bullion Inn under the watchful eye of the Madame (for a crisp points price, of course), camp rough just outside town, or bully or bribe one of the locals into letting them borrow their home for the night. Looking around proves there are, in fact, a number of possibly empty houses around the town’s outskirts, if the players would like to brave one of those.

In the morning, it’s time to go. Tiffany Jamesson, a sixteen year old girl with a brilliant smile and auburn hair done up in ringlets, has horseback riding at nine in full-on cowgirl attire, lunch at noon and piano lessons at one in a yellow dress of frothy lace, a nap from three to four when the day is at its hottest, and then dinner with her father at six in a pretty pink affair before retiring for the night afterwards. When will the kidnappers strike? When will the protectors show their hand? The teams have three days in which to accomplish their goal. The clock is ticking.

"I. Tend not to sleep much on missions," Soldat admits, maybe a little awkwardly. "But I'll keep that in mind. How much sleep do you need?" Trying to compare sleep and fuel levels from Beacon to now really isn't useful, given how Beacon let one skimp on one thing so long as you kept up with the others. And how they never actually knew how much Daylight needed to sleep, back then, either-- the one time they were trapped somewhere overnight, together, no one did a lot of sleeping.

Oh, that's a mood he can relate.

And to answer the question: "There needs to be some adjusting since we're running on what I hope is human hours now, but I can run fine on, like, four Terran hours worth of stasis recharge." Daylight raps his knuckles on his chassis, grinning. "Got a system that allows me to regulate an eternal maximised output and input of energy. So I'm good on that front for the time being."
