I probably should have asked before I posted in the IC thread, but can we get a bit more of a description of what Fox Island is like...architecturally?  Is it totally urban cityscape, ala Manhatten on a tiny scale?  Is it a bit more open between buildings with grass, bushes, trees not uncommon?  The former in some parts, latter in others?

I noticed too late that Laereth used a -3 on perception for night time, whereas I was assuming the bar was on a city block where the area would be fairly well lit with street lamps and stuff for the -1 for partial light (which was cancelled by thermo vision.)

And speaking of thermo vision!  Should I explicitly state when I'm using it, or can we just roll with the assumption that Cheshire has been using his eyes long enough that he naturally uses them to their fullest potential?

This is a classic pickup...widespread use in third world nations and rural areas...although its powerful engine and storage space could certainly come in handy if you have some heavy duty hauling to do

Yeah, to me that says something like this (mounted gun optional!):


ok, so one driver, one passenger up front, two if they're friendly, skinny, or dwarves, and what/whoever in the back. looks good.
Core book states 3 seats, which is why I'd think there was either a full bench or driver's seat+half bench in the cabin.

Yeah, I'd say 2 is comfortable but you can have 3 up front.  As long as most of them aren't trolls.

If they're skinny enough, six people up front. One sitting on the lap of another  :P

Kalarin, any thoughts or requirements about where Cheshire has been staying?  I was thinking just a basic living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom pay the week kind of motel that he's prepaid for the month.  About four or five blocks away from the bar?

I took the -3 because I'm not looking where the light is, I'm looking where the light isn't and standing in light rain. Not because it's darkness, but because darkness is where I'm looking. Also, I have absolutely no vision enhancements.

@Tenlaar The northern part of the island is mostly industrial. The southern end, where Andy is has low level housing, rather tightly packed. Lots of shitty apartment buildings. I'll do a decent write up on this a bit later, tied up for most of today!

I'll say you have a shitty low lifestyle apartment, south of Andy's several blocks away. You're on the 4th level, all good?

Pretty sure you could fit 6 Cheshire's up front!

Almost!  4th out of how many, are there windows (and if so is there a fire escape), elevator or just stairs, who else is on my floor, and do any of them have cats!?

No rush on the scenery write up of course, but I appreciate that, I'd like to have a better idea of what the terrain is like.

6 levels, windows are barred from the inside, there is a fire escape on each level above ground which leads in to a side alley, but no access directly from your room, you haven't seen any cats! There no working elevators only stairs, it's a pretty cheap rundown building.

@Poindexter

I can't tell if your makin fun of me or not. It kind of feels like I might be taking myself too seriously when I read about Duck. Honest question, not offended. I'm just not certain what tone to read the posts in.

Not at all.
Duck thinks angel is straight up, the most professional motherfucker he's ever met. nothin but respect. he just comes from a culture where respect is often gained and shown through giving people shit. The fact that he sees angel as "giving him shit" now, means he respects her even more, and will give her more shit in return as an expression of that.

All good. When I read it like that, it's actually kind of funny. I really worry about the amount of paranoia I kick around. I'm waiting to hear that she's actually nuts.

If Trance ever vocalized her thoughts, everyone would know she's nuts :P

I think Angel comes across as more prudent.

Which reminds me...

Kalarin, how do you want the roleplaying of Trance's spirit to be handled?
