Comments
Nini is one of Hadden's "janes" (sexual customers). She lives in a bunker room near the freight tunnels.
Nedd, that old barber in town, he pulls teeth and sews up cuts and shit.
People in the flats in the Freight Tunnels?
That power cord splits to every other flat down this hall and winds up to Backside Misty's. She charges in stories and tales and spoken word, or better yet that printed stuff. I think she gets her power from a sky-kite.
Woman who knows Ross (or Rossi?), lives in the Scrapers at an old bachelor's pad.
That is sweet spot Carnation found on 47th, so he knew spoils rolling in soon. And this is truth, rolling in on four wheels, sometimes two, sometimes skis. So he found nearby parking lot - and rest is history, everybody know. Is called Grease Park.
The walls are three, maybe four cars high, doors welded shut. You can see rifle eye peering through upper windows. Is obvious if looking. He's got a storage container set up as a gate, lets the whole side drop to the ground - zdrastvooyte, hello, you have ramp. Is like, I don't know, okay, old castle? Hard to get in. Hard to get out.
A man who can afford a castle doesn't only deal in jingle... Think about it. Why would you build a massive holding, wall people out, and in, if you didn't have business pissing someone off? It could just be that they're paranoid, I guess... Carnation has something of a large extended family, and they're always looking for "new prospective members" if you know what I mean.
She's good people. Helps me find those who need services. Likes to carve little people out of ice, quiet morning person. Cute, but not into dudes.
Oddly enough, she has a teenage daughter.
K2
K2 didn't like Silica. At all (until recently). She thinks Rossi's pretty awesome, though! She's been with Hadden lately, the two are close.
Hitec
Hitec is Handplant's mate. Rumors are that she's slept with K2.
Backside Misty's the landlady for this chunk of apartments. Makes most of her coin from room and board, the little bit of power she gets from the one sky-kite isn't enough to charge real real for- it's spread out so thin for everyone. I think she's lonely, people always hating on who they owe rent. That's why stories for the electric. I do deliveries for her, mostly, settle the occasional dispute. Fucking's free for her, because, damn, girl. She has other people in her little fiefdom, folk to fix shit, or the Master Plumber. She's got food stores somehow, maybe a little hydro farm? I've never seen it.
Stalefish
Stalefish is a griper, always making trouble. He's stingy with stories and jingle. The guy is great with plants, though. Stalefish uses the feed, the power source from Misty, to keep some small heat lamps going in his place. He grows some herb, some edible stuff, too. Stalefish's important enough to keep alive and around, but he knows it.
It's a big open area connected to the tunnels, used to be an underground parking garage. Lot of space though the ceiling's too low and half the place is angled up on ramps. People bring their shit, laid out on folding tables or blankets. Some are just piles of shit like boots and clothes you go wade through to find somethin' and others have more of a thing built up.
Forum
Forum's set up a stall in market recently. Normally he just pawns shit to move fast and goes on with his business, but maybe he got something new going on because he's set up a stall or whatever.
Jester is a musician who travels topside often, playing for whoever appreciates it. He brags that he's untouchable because nobody would kill the music he brings to life. He has sex with Rossi, after offering just to "cuddle".
Jester's back tat:
It's an Orca — a big ... well, Jester said it isn't a fish, but if it lives in the ocean and looks like a fish... You decide. Anyway, it's a big, nomadic whale that lives in the ocean. Apparently they sing songs. Jester was evidently over the moon when someone told him animals could make music. He was still really excited about this fact when he told me, and even went so far to point out that their more common name — the killer whale — just made it all the more impressive... That a natural born killer could make something so beautiful really spoke to him.
Jester's moms:
Frontie had a few guys who all hung out on the outskirts of Chi-town. They're all snipers of note. They wait for stragglers, gun them down, then scavenge their bodies. Frontie had a daughter named Nollie who got hooked on ice. They fought, he kicked her out, and she froze to death outside.
Frontie has a younger cousin names Frontside Rodeo. They say Rodeo's a better shot than Grab.
Here's one of The Cs, a gang that used to be allied with the Soulja Boys, but now they're about as strong as the remnants of the Soulja Boys after the volcano
Bonk:
Never Summer:
Never Summer's sword:
The King is entitled little shit, but is almost like, bad luck to go out there without a kid. If you coddle them, keep them safe, who is keeping you safe when your turn is over? Is good thing to put gun in their hand and tell them to grow up.
This is The King:
Grenade, now, haven't had chance to meet this one, but you can hear him playing his accordion from dawn til dusk across the Grease Park. Is shit music, but he swears that piece of crap has stopped five bullets, so maybe that explains awful wheezing-moaning sound. He's not quite right in the head, they say. All you're needing to do is approach him the wrong way and he'll go off like...
This is Grenade:
And then there's Disaster. What's there to say about this one? I've seen him hold gun correct way, and if he is not distracted by mirror, can actually hit a target. Never Summer says he's also got little bit of quick thinking in him — maybe, this is true, or maybe my vtoroy is distracted by other qualities. We'll see.
This is Disaster:
