Aaron, if you are willing to continue my characters campaign, that would be awesome. If you dont remember where I was I had set up my sniper rifle on the roof of a building adjacent of a hit and had a clear shot at his bathroom and at his livingroom. I had also planned my escape route and was wearing a new set of clothes over my suit when I entered the building.

Oh yeah, you were only part way through that right? I remember the situation vividly, however I don't remember the guy himself, who wanted him dead, and why.
Just that you got a good ol' tense moment of sniper breathing and window watching.

You know, I dont remember much about the target except that he was in for a convention or political meeting or trial for the weekend and he had two bodyguards that were armed with pistols.
Yes, yes I did get some heavy sniper breathing. I remember you describing it as my character getting a new and vivid connection with his old job as a Company sniper.

So what I was waiting for was him to go to the bathroom so that I could take the shot where his guards might not see or hear it (fat chance, but you never know). If he went and got his jacket off of the chair in front of the window I was going to take care of him right there.

The guy walks around some, at one point he seems to be in a heated argument with one of his guards. It's not quite what guards usually do. In time you begin to wonder if he's here under his own free will.
But who cares?
He does go to the chair in front of the window, not to grab his jacket, but to lean on the backing and stare resigningly off into the city.
Perfect...

Wonderful. I will line up the shot and calm my nerves, hold my breath, then fire through his sternum. If I can get off another shot or two while the chaos insues, I will fire at both of his guards as well.

The guards aren't well in sight and after your first shot they hit the deck.
The man doesn't even get a "chest clutch" off, just sort of collapsing with a hole in him.
Now's your cue...

I will move to my designated escape point while breaking down the rifle and putting it into its case. If anybody sees me leave the building in the clothes that I was wearing on top of my suit I will move to an alley a few blocks down and put them into a dumpster or give them to a hobo.

You make a break for it, clearing out of the area and breaking down the rifle expertly. You glance around for witnesses and notice none, but change your clothes regardless in an alley, leaving them draped over somebodies clothes line and make you way calmly away from the area.
Mission Accomplished.

WOOT! I will head back to my apartment with my two roomates to make a call for collecting my payment. I dont really remember my roomates except that one was male and one was female and they both worked as guards with me on the caravan that we came in on. I also have a map of the room that you drew in paint if you need it. If its still on your computer its called Sue Per Room or somesuch.

I remember the room. It's pretty uniform for that area of town. I remember the girl was a berserker, dont' remember what the guy did. So I'll say her name was Rebecca and he was Steven, he wore a leather jacket over combat armor and used a custom SMG. Problem solved.
When you show up you have an odd sort of exhilieration. Being as you are you're quite good at a calm, collected sort of persona, but you almost glow with an internal energy when you do a job. It's your drug.
When you arrive, Steven is hunched over the table with a cleaning kit and the pieces of his firearm.
"What's up?" He says, at first as a general greeting, but afterwards his face seeming to make it into a genuine question. That air about you seems to have caught his attention. Being in control of your emotions however, you could easily dismiss your enthusiasm and play it off as nothing if you like.
He explains that Rebecca went to get some air, a walk, and some food. She'll be calling when she arrives to see if you guys want anything.

If Steven seems to be a really goody two shoes I wont make any comment about the job, but I dont remember him being that way when I first met him, so this is how Scorpion will reply.
"Well, actually, I just took care of starting to make a name for myself so that I can bring home the bacon. I actually made a little this afternoon, too.... Hey, you mind if I steal a part of the table to clean my rifle?"

He looks at the table where there's not a whole lot of room available.
"Uhh.... yes? Just gimmie like, five. I'll be done soon."

"So how do you plan on making money in this town?"
Scorpion heads towards the phone to make a call to his employer to say that the job is done and to ask how he is going to collect.

That gave me a funny mental image of you asking a question and immediatley walking away and getting on the phone without waiting for an answer.
ANyway, he says he plans on signing up on another Caravan as soon as he can headed out towards the Karanda territory.
While you're on the phone it beeps for call waiting. Naturally you finish talking to your employ before answering. Word travelled fast and he knows it was done. You are told where a man will meet you in the marketplace, a code phrase, and where to meet him.
By the time the call is done, you've missed the call waiting.

Well I will dial for the operator, if possible, and ask to be connected to the number of the missed call.
Scorpion will then prepare to go to the drop point in the market place at the appropriate time.

The automated system lets you know that it was a payphone and there will be a surcharge to call it back of like, two bucks.

I'll accept the charges and call the phone back hoping that I dont miss whoever it was that called. If there is no answer I will go and pick up my money.
