Truth is stranger than fiction. Also, street art is weird.

I tend to err on the side of under powering characters. Requires more creative problem solving that way.

Also, a general note: let's play nice, okay kids?

I was going to say "Smiley" too.

Now I'm going to go with Leg-o-Man. Because when I was a kid I had this clip art collection with some heraldic symbols, and the one that was the Isle of Mann triskelion had the file name "legoman" which I thought was extremely weird what with how I had no idea what that symbol was and couldn't figure out what it had to do with Lego. And smiley there kinda looks like a triskelion.

...

That's not actually what I'm going to have my character call it.

Island in a Sea of Death

I've been keeping some brief notes on the conversation, @DaDrummer676 and I can PM them to you if you like.

Island in a Sea of Death

Abby wasn't particularly interested in the discussion of solar panels and electricity - she spent most of her time in the field, away from things like plugs and light switches. She paid more attention to the doctor, her hackles rising at the use of the word "Jap." Possibly he just thought it was short for "Japanese person" but then again, but an educated man really should know better.

She stood up when the Japanese person in question showed his PDA to the group, slipping her hammer into the loop on her cargo pants and walking closer to get a better look. The legends were all in Japanese, but she was fairly certain that she could recognise the layout of the campus and identify some land features.

"I'm not saying we should round people up at gunpoint," Abby said, looking around at the woman who had spoken. "But for now, I think it's a huge waste of resources to defend the whole campus. We should limit ourselves to a few main buildings, and spread out more if and when we can make a larger area secure. Not everyone can be a special snowflake. I mean, we did all band together for a reason, right?"

She walked half-way back to her chair, feeling slightly anxious about leaving her bag unattended. "But we don't have an actual leader, do we? No-one agreed to any particular authority when they signed on. So at this point if some people want to go for supplies and some people want to secure the place, probably the best thing to do is split up and get working. There are enough people here that we can multitask, but that sun," she gestured vaguely upward, "isn't going to wait patiently while we argue."

@RoflsMazoy

I'm not quite sure how to respond to this situation. Rofls, you appear to be reviewing characters now?

@Prince of Seraphs

Considering the magnitude of armament on Tychon, two guns might not be a stretch for a character with an order handler. For her role, I'm thinking you probably only need one. It's a huge ship with a large crew, so multitasking probably isn't a big priority.

Abby fiddled idly with her rock hammer, spinning it slowly between thumb and forefinger, her digits moving smoothly over the rusty-brown stained leather wrapping the handle. She kept it with her all the time now, even closer to hand than the backpack that was resting against her shin beneath the table, her foot twisted through one strap in case someone tried to grab it.

"I think we're making this whole rule of law thing more complicated than it has to be." Abby forced herself to stop twirling the hammer, and set it down on the tabletop, though she kept a hand on it. "We don't need new rules. Same ones apply as before Black Friday, right? Don't steal, no murders, no raping anyone? Violators get kicked out of the community. Someone make an announcement to the refugees to that effect, seems pretty straightforward to me."

She gestured to the Japanese captain with her chin. "And I think he's right about concentrating on fortifying one building for now, or at least getting everyone set up in there. I don't think we have enough people to maintain a perimeter of the whole campus. We can start improvising a wall, but until we get that finished we're always going to have rabids straggling in." She refused to call them zombies - reanimated dead bodies weren't possible.

"As for the supply run, well, I'm the wrong kind of doctor for what you're looking for." Ph.D., not M.D.. "We're going to need more than canned food and dry goods, which are going to run out pretty soon even if we empty out the Walmart, and I might be able to help out with that once we get a bit settled, but I don't think I'm going to be going on this particular outing. Oh, but get bicycles," she added. "We're going to run out of gas eventually, and they're faster than walking or, you know, shambling."

I actually meant in real life.

I want a Scavenger.

It will live in my workshop and collect dropped rivets.

I will call it Squidgey.

Cybrolix – Cybernetic Mystery Adventure (EnA)

I'm still interested.
