Andrew & Jake...

[Mr. Johnson (GM)]

Still giving your applications a read-through. Anyway, I'm gonna need you guy's picture bases for cast page purposes. If you have a picture you'd particularly like me to use, give me a link to it as well.

Thanks.

[Slab]

I was thinking Hartigan from Sin City. Let me link to a few pictures.

[Song Di]

Just don't use his grand finale. That might confuse the rest of us!

[Slab]

That's why Slab doesn't carry a gun. But can I still do the bit where I castrate someone with my bare hands? Please?

[Song Di]

You can castrate EVERYONE with your bare hands. I dare Sol to throw a run at us that can't be solved via a bare handed castration. There's no such animal as that kind of run.

Anyway, glad to have you on board. I can't wait to work with you.

[Slab]

Thank you. Likewise. It's going to be interesting to see how the dynamic of working with Song Di develops. Though he could crush her, I rather think Slab's going to be intimidated by Song Di. It's all part of that vibe you describe her as giving off. Slab's a brute, but he recognizes someone truly dangerous in her at some primal level.

[Song Di]

Perceptive!

That's mainly designed to be Song Di's true strength. She isn't a front line fighter, and her magic isn't the strongest in the world, either. But damn if she doesn't seem scary.

[Slab]

Not so perceptive; I just took some time to read your character on the Cast page. I figure that if that's how you want her to be perceived, it's my duty as a fellow player to acknowledge it. What's the good of portraying something if no one else recognizes it?

Besides, it sets up for some dark comedy when Song Di is backing Slab into a corner with just a look.

[Song Di]

And further comedy when she pushes her luck too far, and gets KO'd. I like you already; not many people are willing to acknowledge strengths in others' characters. I can tell you right now that you'll receive the same courtesy from me.

It's refreshing to have a player around who's not impervious to EVERYTHING in the world. God knows you'll be seeing some vulnerabilities in Song Di as well.

[Slab]

Somehow I suspect her vulnerabilities will be well hidden, especially from someone as slow on the uptake as Slab. He just can't wrap his brain around the subtler things - like an emotion that isn't visceral rage or alcoholic lust.

Can't wait to get started although it's probably a good thing he's not around for the exchange between you and the Cleaner.

[Mr. Johnson (GM)]

Why don't you two love birds just go and get married already?

Thanks for the pictures, I'll get to work on your character page shot as soon as I can.

Just need Andrew's now... *hint*

[Slab]

Any marriage of Song Di and Slab would have to be unholy. The only logical name for the child would be Damien or Samara. Besides, Slab's already got a couple of three common law wives. Why do you hate him so much that you want him to have more trouble?

[Cross]

Wow, just out the gate an already talking about the apocalyptic baby.

I'll be playing Cross. Your ever stoic driver.

[Slab]

Hey, Cross. Good to meet you. Is that stoic as indifferent or the Zeno school of thought where everything is predetermined for the best so you might as well be virtuous? Because I see virtue becoming a cheap whore very quickly in this game.

[Diavolo]

Haha, Sousou is mine!
