Totally. in fact, i think he KNEW your mother in some way. Perhaps they dated. Maybe he sold her "art supplies". Maybe she got a creative bug up her ass about train graffitti for a few months, who knows? Either way, as family of an old friend, you'd know his real name is Sam.

Sidenote: He usually goes by either "One" or "67". His CLOSE friends use his real name, but usually only when others aren't around. The full "One67" is pretty much only used as a graffitti tag.
I'm open to them having dated after Francis' father died. Absolutely no reason not to. More unlikely that they did so before she started dating her husband-to-be unless Sam was staying in Miami for a time.
Also no reason for it not being both the art supplies and getting it on.

Reyjinn and Nimbasa, how's bout yall both know the same street doc?
I was actually thinking that if Isaac had done some shadow work for the DA's office that Francis might know him personally.
But the street doc angle is fine with me, she is my most generic contact so it's no hassle if she needs to be modified a bit.

-Rayjinn, You probably live in this area here, somewhere south of 90/beach blvd, and north of 109/university. lots of shitty little crackmotel type places near phillips highway.

Sure, sound like a lovely place :) If it could be anywhere in or around the red rectangle that would be extra good.

How would you like to set it up so that the street doc is a mutual contact? My background for him/her was that he/she worked for Isaac's parents as a legal doctor, but strayed from the path, Isaac took advantage of this. How about you? I can change it up if you'd like.

Your story is way more fleshed out than my street doc is.  I have no problem with any of this. I'm guessing that Francis got his ware before the doc went a-strayin. Isn't Isaac in his early 20s? Francis would have gotten most of his ware while Isaac was discovering masturbating :) Good, trustworthy docs aren't easy to find so Francis (if he knows what went down for the doc in the first place) wouldn't see any reason to turn his back on him.

I'm not at all sure that this post is coherent but 14 hour workday makes for a very tired and unfocused reyjinn... I can clarify tomorrow if this makes no sense, can't be arsed to read it over for a third time.

Haha, you're coherent enough, and that sounds good.

Ok, lets keep the doc "Jill Marques", but lets figure out the timeline right quick.

1- How old is Francis?
2- How old is Isaac?
3- How long ago was Francis chromed?
4- How long ago was Isaac chromed?
5- Which one of yall did she install the chrome in? Or was it both?

Also, do you already have a clear vision of what kind of lady she is? Cause if ya don't, I kinda do.

Isaac is 24, he got chromed around 17-18 years, and if Francis got the doc to wire him up, Isaac would have got it from some back alley guy who knew enough about his work to not kill his patients, but was still seedier than the top of a Big-Mac.

Francis is 31 and would have gotten his ware during his collage years, so between ages 18 and 25. The more expensive stuff would have been installed after his father's death (age 23 iirc). She put everything in Francis except the datajack.
That means that there is a 2 year gap between Francis and Isaac having their stuff implanted.

Nimbaasa, what was it that she did when she 'strayed off the path'? Is it something that is a deep dark secret or pretty common knowledge by now?

Samuel has low lifestyle.  If there is somewhere in particular you would like the talismonger he does work for to be, I imagine Samuel's place would be somewhere fairly near by there.

As far as a connection to One67, I'm not sure about that one.  With the way Samuel feels about gangs and not knowing exactly how 67 has ties to them, I think it might be better for you to come up with that connection.  I don't know if 67 has an actual vested interest in things staying quiet with the gangs or what and am guessing you don't want to reveal too much about what he's really involved with yet.

SlowDeck, what exactly is meant by "Tactical Squad combat games"?

Sorry for the delay again.

Basically, a type of video game.

Also, slowdeck, lets make your contact One67, eh? We should figure out how ya know him as well.

Can it be that she met him once she lost her job and he helped her get set up?

-SlowDeck, I see you living in either the neptune beach or jacksonville beach area.

ok, you live in riverside. somewhere west of stockton, east of McDuff, and south of I10. That whole neighborhood is a shithole. The talismonger's you work at is on the NE corner of stockton and park, across the street from what used to be a school.

I kinda like that she knew him already before she lost the job. I think you met him in one of those tactical shooter games you play and when you told him you were out of a job, he offered you a place to crash and help getting back on your feet. Unfortunately for you, he had heard the rumors about you already and tried to get into your pants. FORTUNATELY for you, he was cool about it when/if you rejected his advances (he really is quite goofy looking and strange all around, so you make the call) and the offer to help you get back on your feet was indeed genuine either way.

how's that sound?

OK, as for the street doc, here's how i see her. Yall lemme know if sum needs to be changed to fit yalls vision better.

She's 43 years old, graduated rather average in her class, and was unable to stand out enough to make it in the big time professional world. She was always too good and decent a person, too unwilling to cut the corners and make the nasty decisions that really make you the big bucks. She floundered with her own legal practice for years, with less and less in the bank at the end of every quarter. About 8 years ago, she had to downgrade from an actual brick and mortar practice to a GMC bulldog loaded up with gear. Where she used to have a nice place in the burbs, she now moves through the sprawl, helping whoever needs it and can sortof afford it. She does too much pro-bono work, and despite her skill, is still losing money.
Francis knew her when she had the brick and mortar place and saw her transition to the bulldog. By the time Isaac met her, she was already in it.

If Isaac did any work for Francis back in the bad ole days, thats how they met, through her.

cool?

You know that the only connection One has with any gang is in making sure they know his business aint a threat to them. As far as vested interest, everyone in the slums has a vested interest in things staying quiet with the gangs. Sam has NO love for gangs, and you've seen him take an ass beating on at least one occasion at their hand. He just deals with the world as it is.
