Leading Mendel by the shoulder and coaxing him, Conrad reassured him that he and Angela would make sure he was kept safe.

"Well, then. How about we find a bar, discuss the problems in a private are and perhaps scout a Johnson." In all honesty, he was just trying to help Mendel relax and get a bearing on Chicago. But at least it was a plan.

"Angela, care to join us this way?" He said leading Mendel off towards a spot marked on the map.

OOC: Does it really matter? I would bet he would have at least one small knife just in case. And didn't say he was being attacked, I was just saying he snatched it.

IC: "Stop calling me that. You can call by any of the following names. Covenant, Testament, Ark, Gospel, or Scripture." He noticed Angela's comment about him. "I should point out that a lot of my kills are quite blood-free, but that's beside the point. And besides, I know when to sneak."

"All in good fun, chummer. No harm intended." He called behind him as he walked off into whatever horizon the map would lead them.

Mendel managed to smile and says, "Sounds good. Names Mendel by the way, although I usually go by Shocker, more because of my own troubles then any shocking I've done. Sorry, I'm usually pretty calm, just a little twitchy at times, nasty accident you understand. But if you need a decker or electronics specialist, look no further!" He finished with a salute, but felt his shaking coming back and took another pill really quickly.

ooc-Fine...eh, not that big anyway, I guess.

He shrugged, no longer caring who he was paired with. Of course, he wondered about the other man. He gestured nodded towards Mendel. "Anyway, what about that man? We gonna include him, because the more the merrier...or so they say."

Edit: This is only directed towards Ark as Mendel introduces himself.

Angela followed behind Conrad, eyes shut, her astral senses ready. Her hand lingered somewhere beside her Guardian and Imiri.

"Shocker, my dear chummer. You need a drink! And we need a game plan. We weren't hired to come to Chicago just because the mayor wanted to increase the pop. dens. I sense a rather decent run in our future!" He laughed. "The name's Conrad, by the way. Pleasure to meet both," He nodded to Angela. "Your aquaintences!"

"Angela. The guys with us are Mendel, Covenant or Ark or whatever his name is, and Heart, right?"

Mendel blinked, mildly shocked by how cheery Conrad seemed. <Well, if nothing else, it will be an interesting group you've gotten yourself into this time, and even if they turn out to be sent after me, I'd have to face them sooner or later, although they seem alright so far.> Mendel thought, but said, "I guess a drink sounds good, and any opportunity to learn more about what's going on is good." Then mendel noticed something Conrad had said, "Hired to come here? Actually, I came here because of a mistake in Seattle, and I heard that Chicago was low on runners and high on need for them, so one wrecked plane, street battle, and helicopter transport by a corp later, here I am."

ooc-I think we should make a new thread...now. Before it gets way past the 100 limit. It'll just make thing easier.

Also, I'm gonna go to sleep now, I have to get up early tomorrow. See ya!
