I updated my post so that I'm specifically speaking to Ivan now.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Mmkay.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

It just occurred to me that, if it's been fifty years since Australias, then no one in the current party has lived in a world where the Overlord system and superpowers didn't exist.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Knowing you, I'll bet you've begun to consider the implications of that on their interaction with the world.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Well, imagine all the things you take for granted every day. Junk food, being able to reliably get gas, new television shows, being able to hop on a train or boat or plane and going anywhere you want, worldwide news coverage.

Your character grew up with none of these things. That bartender? The alcohol she's serving she either brewed herself or bought from someone fairly local. The cities? Mostly empty, because it's hard to grow food there and the population isn't high enough to fill them and won't be again for another few generations, if ever. Old people? Rare as hell. Medicine? More valuable than gold.

If I making this sound post apocalyptic, that because it's, well, post apocalyptic. The fact that Wayne can afford to keep not only a car but a cell-phone and a working laptop means he's either very rich or has people providing him with these things.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Pretty close.

Admittedly, a great deal of the world is like that (Detroit, Haiti, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc), but certain places are somewhat better off. Arizona is one step above that (simple, but fairly serviceable), while Santa Fe is a step above that, and Odessa and New Orleans are one step short of an oasis.

It's all really a matter of the efforts the citizens put forth. You'd be surprised what hydrokinetics can do, when paired with geniuses trained in hydroelectric engineering.

In California, they'd be like the Beverly Hills of the post-apocalypse. They even have as many as maybe, like twenty channels on TV!

[Marvelous Miscreant]

So, about my post. Was it accurate to Fitz's personality?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I liked it. Short, but simple, and certainly to the point about his character.

Though, don't fret. He's timid and such, but his wits will more than pay off for the group.

[Philote]

I'm relying on you to keep the story moving forward Wulf.

Also, I'm making Nadia be a jerk, so don't take anything too personally. You can still talk Marv.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yes, will do.

(And yeah, basically, I expect Nadia to be a jerk. Capable of showing emotion at the right time, but in all, sort of like a real-life version of Grumpy, or Grouchy Smurf.)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 (Had to adjust that latest post a couple times to make sure nobody had reason to say no. I hope that's plausible for a starting-off point...)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I got that, I just figured that Fitz is just the kind of person who would absolutely clam up if told to

[Celadon's Penultimate]

He is.

For now.

Though, I have some plans and machinations at work, to make sure that doesn't stay the case forever.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Oh, yes...

If all goes according to plan, I think we all will undergo some...much needed personality adjustment.

[Philote]

I'm ready once everyone else agrees to move on.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

That's what I'm waiting for.

Gotta track down Bug, and hopefully Zale and Marv will reply soon.

[Zaleramancer]

My post got eaten by the data vampires.

I'll try to rewrite it from memory.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

As much as you can will be appreciated. And I have faith that the new version will be better, anyhow. It tends to be like that.

(I figured you might be most comfortable with Tessa's role as the sharp-minded, witty thinker, so hopefully posting as her won't cause you too much difficulty--let me know, though, if you have any problems...)

[Zaleramancer]

Oh, right, I should so make a post yesterday.
