On our way back from a successful ghost-busting run, we decided to stop by the StufferShack to grab drinks and snacks on the way back to the office for debriefing. It's a typical convenience store--ditzy girl behind the counter filing her nails, a couple in leather, being cute and looking at ice-cream, a tramp looking at sodas, and a middle-aged lady, trying to get her 8 year old son to pick a piece of candy "so we can just get out of here, already", as well as a couple of single guys looking at chips. I had a vision: *"BOOM. BOOM. Flying Doritos everywhere..."* I looked around Aurally--most of the people are pretty normal, except that the tramp near the drink case is a pumped mage(for a random guy in a convenience store at 1 am on a Tuesday), and a few of the chip-guys have some sort of cyberware (though that's not too uncommon). Suddenly, a group of punks come through the door, guns in hand: * A young man, probably mid-20's, with a Burger King Crown on his head and a shotgun in his hand * Three scared-looking teenage punks with pistols * A girl in a black halter-top, bike shorts, with a laser-sight sub-machine gun in her hand * A guy with a katana They shot out the security camera, as the guy with the katana threatened the blonde behind the counter, and then ripped out the "Emergency Panic Button" from behind the counter. Several people fired shots, and a sonic stunner fired at the girl behind the counter. The tramp/mage reached out to my mind, and I felt him touch...Shit! I fired my tangler at him, but botched it badly. As I tried to reload the canister, he pushed, and I saw the world go black... **"I'm the King of the Sprawl, and it's TAX TIME! < pumps shotgun > Time to pay up or get audited!"** After the battle, as I woke (with a nasty headache), we gathered some i.d. off of the punks. Apparently their gang is the "Slicer-Dicers" and the mage is "Wiley" (a coyote shaman). *I should ask Don Giambrone about him...*
