Also keep in mind that Japan is something like 16 or 17 hours different from US Pacific Standard Time and that has some effect on when I'm on the net.] Shamus studied the GREL impassively, hands planted on his hips. He cast a glance at the partially disassembled Iguana then returned his gaze to the genetically-engineered super-soldier standing in front of him, scowling. Like Esperanz he declined to shake Kassandra Athena-3172's hand. Unlike Esperanz he did not happen to be covered in grease. "Great, this job just gets better and better," he chuckled bitterly. "'Tina,' huh? I knew a Tina once. I didn't like her." Then, after a pause: "You're not from Port Arthur, are you?" --- [Dennis, I appreciate the effort to keep the rules portion of the game as transparent as possible. I don't care about target numbers or dice rolls so much, but I do ask that when rolls are made affecting my character that you tell me the Margin of Success or Failure, so I can adjust my writing accordingly; there's a big difference in describing a racing maneuver that succeeds with a MoS of 5 and an MoS 1.] _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
