Cross Effects 3.0 - The Third Time's the Charm? General Discussion

[Ivan The Mouse]

Ivan. You can do this with your other chars. Have them go out and about. Have them encounter other people. I just suggested Neo because having him stay in the Order's Manor all the time after the stuff that happened at the bar and the firefight with the police afterwards wouldn't be the best idea. There were a metric fuckton of witnesses, and I'd think the police can at least access housing records. Besides, Neo doesn't seem the type to stay at home.

The thing with the Manor is that it just appeared in the middle of the residential subdivision on an empty lot from its original location in an undisclosed location in Germany. I don't really think that the police would have any housing records on them, especially if all of them got used to the fact that they don't have any valid birth certificates anymore.

And no, Neo does stay at home sometimes, either to browse the 'Net, continue alchemical research or generally be a slacker.

I mean, you're kinda shooting yourself in the foot, here. The characters could potentially be interesting (I think) but you haven't had them out and about enough to show us...well...anything, really, about them aside from the fact that Neo is an asshole with no sense of self-preservation.

Honestly, it's less that that you don't get to appropriately depict them and more that you don't really try. I mean, seriously. You put Neo in his car, drunk, when you made your post. How many people are going to go out of their way to try and get the attention of someone who's just sitting in his car? You really are shooting yourself in the foot.

First of all, it's Rattus, not Neo. Second, Rattus is actually calling the attention of Nachos' character, who is jogging around a part of the city. And third, don't mistake Neo's insane willingness to provoke anyone he meets with lacking a sense of self-preservation, especially when when he thinks provoking people and getting into trouble is fun.

My bad on that. But the fact remains that, if you want interactions, you should send your characters out. Looking at what's going on with Rattus and Donkey, you could just send out another one of your chars if you don't feel like waiting for Nachos. I suggested Neo because Yukina doesn't seem like the type to leave the house often unless it's with the others.

Well, as I see it right now...
Neo's still tired from the events that happened to him yesterday.
Yukina won't leave home until Rattus comes back.

So far, Rattus is the only one who's free today. I don't really mind waiting for Nachos, since I myself have a lot of side work on my hands right now.

Also, you've got something more than slightly wrong about the police being unable to find Neo. The stolen car would have been reported, likely found, and Neo was bleeding all over the place all the way back.

Add in the fact that he took the time to enjoy a joyride, which, in an open-topped car is basically asking someone to be able to ID you, and open-topped cars aren't exactly things people forget about within the course of a single night, especially not ones with such interesting occupants such as Guts and Dragonslayer, to say nothing of Neo.

Yes, which is why Neo parked the car a couple blocks away from the Manor. He was bleeding, yes, but I could see the blood being soaked up by his clothes, as well as the fact that Neo quickly healed and recovered from his supposedly fatal wounds, which could raise some questions.

[Panda]

Well, now it's a question of what the police do when human senses simply aren't cutting it.

What do you mean?

[Milbunk]

Kayneth is just going to keep wandering and doing his own thing for a while unless someone wants to interact with him. Any takers?

[SINIB]

Just send him to interact with somebody.

[Knick]

Still sick. So no posts today.

[Panda]

Get well soon!

Gintoki not approved yet. *sighs*

[Panda]

Oh be quiet, I've had Michael's sheet up for longer, Bdoom's had Luvia's sheet up for even longer, and I'm not sure why Reaper-chan hasn't bee approved yet.

[Elf]

They've been approved, I just need to update the approvals.

And I may or may not be on tonight.  It depends if I have to work on Saturday because I have to be at the plant at 7AM oh god why so fucking early fuck me.

[Kat]

That includes Gintoki?
