    <b>Yeah, not much happening. Also, I must admit that it seems to me people are missing something. The majority of the characters in this game have a charisma of ZERO, and still the same people do a lot of working alone, asking people and trying to convince people to get themselves killed helping them. It's that simple, when you're rude, ugly and have no sense of decent conversation, there's no way in hell you're going to make a receptionist tell you where some gang-lord who will probably kill him for talking is. Find someone to cooperate with and work for, or get a charisma score, because a freelancer with a charisma score of zero is just not going anywhere.

    In short, try to play your character to fit your stats, because while there's no "wrong" stat combination, having your stats too different from what you're playing can mean it's hard to do what you want to do.</b>

    <i>Parhelion - Phonelines is working fine. You get through to the hospital just fine. There is a record on an Anthony Wilson there, and they tell you that they'll be sending them along to the computer system of this hospital in a moment.

    Spark - The receptionist turns around, looking for some keys. In the brief moment you have, you check the guest list. It seems, however, that this is not the kind of hotel to ask for too many details. There's no names, just the time the guests spent here and the amount of money they paid. You notice there's someone who's been here for more than a month, but you don't have time to check the room number before the receptionist turns back: "I have a room free, how long will you be staying sir?".

    Bill - You don't see him anywhere, so you sit down on a chair in the corner of the bar. You haven't been sitting there for long before you fall asleep on the table. You wake up with someone calling for you. Looking up, you see your employer looking at you: "Tired eh'? I would not recommend sleeping in places like this. But anyway, I believe I owe you some money." He hands you a bunch of notes, probably around 10k. He turns around and leaves the bar. You look around you, trying to shake off the sleepiness and find out for how long you have been sleeping, when you realize your machine gun is gone.

    Darkness - You can't see your clothes anywhere. It seems none of your belongings are here.</i>

    <b>*Points at rincewind* Diplomat. ^_^</b>
    On a side note, editing my stats slightly...
    Statistics:
    World Knowledge-10
    Physical fitness-10
    Charisma-5
    Dexterity-10
    Technology-25
    Medical knowledge-0
    Weapon usage-10

    tech went down 10
    world knowledge went down 5
    charisma up 5
    weapon usage up 5
    physical fitness up 5

    This way I'm not too overly skewed on the stats. o.O The descriptions of how inept a person would be at 0 in anything and skilled at 20 in anything helps a lot.

    ...and wow, that's scary, without even noticing, I made my stats almost exactly like Terran's, only differences are that he has 5 more knowlege and dex, and I have 5 more tech and weapon.

    *Colin takes the money*
    "Thanks"
    *He then checks his weapons, upon finding he machine gun missing he gets annoyed. Very annoyed. Cursing under his breath he makes his way towards the barman, shoving anyone foolish enough to block his progress out of the way.*
    /Assuming no-one desides to start anything/
    *Colin makes his way to the barman and gets his attention by driving one of Anthony's knives into the bar*
    "Some bloody idiot has stolen my favourite weapon. Now I don't want to make a scene, so if you'll just point out the miscreant, I won't create one."
    *Colin stealthily draws one of Anthony's pistols*</span>

    Yeah, slight tweak to my stats too please:

    <u>Skills:</u>
    <b>World Knowledge:</b> 10
    <b>Physical Fitness:</b> 5
    <b>Charisma:</b> 15
    <b>Dexterity:</b> 10
    <b>Technology:</b> 5
    <b>Medical Knowledge:</b> 20
    <b>Weapon Usage:</b> 5

    Thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> Basically dexterity and medical knowledge fall by 5 (because 20 seems more than adequate for an experienced doctor) and those are redistributed evenly into physical fitness and technology.

    <span style='color:orange'>*Estella sets the phone down, and asks the nurse on duty politely if she could pass the medical details on to her when they arrive. She then taps her pen on her notepad thoughtfully, then returns to Anthony's room.*
    "Hi, Anthony, I'm back - I just contacted the people at St Vincent's and they said they'd send over your medical history straight away. I'd still just like you to answer a couple of questions though, if you don't mind."
    *She sits down on the chair and waits for Anthony's reply.*</span>

    <b>Stat changes noted</b>

    <i>Bill - The barkeep jumps when you slam the knife into the counter. "Some guy took it a few minutes ago. He was sitting by you so I thought it was his. He left quite quickly afterwards. Short black hair, dirty brown jacket and worn jeans, looked more like a bum than a shooter to me."

    Spark - The barkeep smiles. "No, certainly not. We take pride in the privacy of the costumers. I'll have to ask for 200 dollars for the four days".</i>

    <b>Ok, this thing is getting more messed up than anything I've been doing before <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Think I'm about to get it under control though. I created a timeline file, so I should be able to get an overview of things. This also means that I'm going to begin making distinctions between time for different groups, so that people won't have to wait too much when their character is unavailable (sorry Khaim and Darkness). Might have to warp time once in a while when groups meet, but that's better than having people wait.

    Also, Zero and Solanaceae, you haven't posted for a while. We need you to check up on this thread daily so it won't end up drying out!!!!</b>

    <i>Khaim, Terran (7/11 9:05) - You wake up (Khaim - You feel like you've been sleeping for quite a while). Looking around for whatever woke you up, you realize someone's yelling outside on the street. Sounds like a lot of people excited about something, yet it's not a crowd. More like a few people determined to get something right. You can't make out what they're saying. Then you realize that there's a truck engine too. The sun is shining outside.

    Parhelion - (you know Darkness clothes and valuables are being stored in the hospital, he'll get them back when he is ready to leave)

    Spark (7/11 9:00) - You hear two trucks drive past the hotel outside. Someone yells loudly, then there's a burst of gunfire. You're standing with your back facing the door, but seemingly something important is happening outside, because the receptionist turns around and runs into a backroom, looking excited. You can hear him talking, loudly, with someone back there.</i>

    *Upon arriving at the main lecture theatre Svetlana notices all her classmates gathered outside the entrance clumped up in small groups. Sensing the general apprehension in the air she approaches a group of her friends.*
    “What are you all doing out here? What about our lecture?”
    *One of her friends turned around and replied, “The lecture has been cancelled because of the disruption from the bombing. It may be rescheduled for later in the day or even next week. No-one is sure as yet.” *
    *Svetlana frowned in exasperation*
    “Great. I dragged myself out of bed this morning for this?? Alright, since we’re here why don’t we all go to the library to do some study? No point wasting time standing here.”
    *She heads off to the library with her friends.*

    <i>Bill (7/11 9:15) - "If he really did grab your gun, I would be surprised to see him return. He looked like the kind of person who'd only go into a firefight if the target was defenseless. But I'll tell you if I see him."</i>

    <i>Bill (7/11 9:20) - Walking down the street, you notice an odd silence. The first ones you meet are two people standing on a street corner with some rifles, talking casually to each other. As you keep walking towards the hospital, you hear someone talking inside the ruins of a bombed-out building.

    1st voice (stern and obviously frustrated): "Listen, I told you you can't sleep in here. Get out before I blow your head off.

    2nd voice (drunk): "Liscchen, I schleep were I wantsch toeh. Go awaay."

    1st: "HEY, WAKE UP. I don't want that gun in here, get out. (gunshot, sounds like it hits the rubble).

    2nd voice: "Don'tsch ya schhoot at me you brownschkinned loscher. Go home to your junkpilesch".

    1st voice: "Aw shut up"

    (gunshot, you hear the 2nd guy breathing heavily for a few seconds, then another gunshot, and he goes silent.)

    1st voice: "Damn westerners, arrogant ****".</i>

    <i>Bill (7/11 9:20) - you find a window and look through it. Inside stands two men with guns, same rifles the ones on the street corner carried. They seem relaxed. On the rubble lies a guy looking very much like the description the barkeep gave you. He's dead, but he's still holding your machine gun.</i>

    He pays the money to the receptionist. When the gun fire started he didn't jump in fright or show any signs of him caring, he watched the receptionist leave into the back, he immediatley peers over the table to see for more signs of this 'Tiger'

    Clutching the paper in one hand, Wyzak messes his hair in frustration as he feels weariness overcoming him. Speaking to Jack, Wyzak says in a tired voice, "I know this Adash on the hit list. We just <i>might</i> be able to get him to do the job for us", trying to shake away the tiredness, Wyzak shakes his head and continues, "We shouldn't count on my plan though, we'll probably need more help from the resistance as a back up, if things don't go our way."

    Handing back the note, to Jack, Wyzak tilts the chair back against the wall and closes his eyes. "Could you take the first watch Jack? Been a bloody long day and I really need to rest if we're gonna plan the operation tomorrow. Wake me up at 3 am." Folding his arms across his chest, Wyzak sticks one hand into his jacket and free's his pistol from the holster and mumbles to himself, "For good luck", as he falls into a deep sleep.

    <i>Zero - "Sure, I'll keep an eye out" Jack says, leaning back and armind his pistol. You go to sleep. At 3:00, Jack wakes you up: "Hey, wake up. My turn to get some sleep. I haven't been sleeping for a while either". As you wake up, he leans back and closes his eyes.

    Terran (7/11 9:05) - Looking out the window, you see a truck with some people standing around it. A closer look reveals that they're all holding rifles. In fact, you're quite sure it's the same kind of rifle the guy at the spaceport used.

    Spark (7/11 9:05) - There's quite a lot of activity in there. Sounds like people are readying themselves all over the room. Then it's silent for a few seconds before someone opens the door. Inside is a single man, carrying a gun by his side, but not drawn. He's wearing common clothes, with jeans and an old jacket. The room behind him is empty, but looks quite luxurious. "Hello, may I help you with something?"</i>
