<That would have been real smooth if that had worked,> Caduceus commented mentally to White Duck after he had been updated about the situation.
<But yeah, I think we gotta still try something. It's sounding more and more like we found the right target.> Caduceus went back to blending in, eventually finding a nice wall to lean against and bobbed his head to the music. He casually scanned Cleo and Pengrave's astral signatures to get a sense of how they were feeling (as well as anything else interesting). If their auras had spikes of alarm or something, it could be an indicator that they should start packing up and heading home.
09:31, Today: Caduceus rolled 4 successes using 5d6 with the Shadowrun system with a target of 4 with rolls of 4,4,(6+4)10,1,(6+4)10. Aura Reading (Auras).
<I'm thinking I'll try to Influence her. I'll need to drop our call when I do though, so that I can concentrate all my attention on the task at hand. If something goes wrong though, it might be a good idea for us to... be someone else, then get out of here.> He was referring to using illusions to disguise their appearances, of course.
The shaman meandered his way near the balcony to a spot where he could see the railing.
<Okay, here goes. I'm going to suggest for her to put her chip on the balcony railing discretely and walk away. Then use Magic Fingers to float it to a discrete spot for us. If they go looking for it, hopefully their first thought will be that it fell off the ledge. Gotta break the connection now.>
Just before Caduceus enacted his plan, however, he called forth his spirit and used another of his services.
"Conceal me and the chip a woman places on the balcony railing," he whispered to it. Then he crossed his fingers and went to work.
Edit: Bobbing his head rhythmically with the music, Caduceus struck a mesmerizing cadence to put Cleo under his spell.

Influence Type: M Target: W Duration: P Drain: S
This spell implants a single suggestion in the victim’s mind, like a powerful post-hypnotic command. The subject will carry out this suggestion as if it were his own idea and it will then fade. If someone points out that what the target is doing is wrong, the target can make a Willpower Test to overcome the suggestion as described for the Control Thoughts spell. The caster can also withdraw the suggestion at any time.
