I'd think it would be quite often, at least before he started his training. In the last two years it would be less often because Eugene would only occasionaly work for his parents.

Earlier years would be very often, they would exchange experiences and knowledge. I'm thinking Edithomas would want to learn more esoteric alchemy in exchange for maybe starting wealth Eugene's parents needed or inital ingredient supply or some such.

Eugene would remember Edditomas as he was just starting his research and before vecoming obsessed with it.

Now that Cliff is out on his own, he only visits the Little Diversion as a patron, not a bouncer, and it is a rare night where he doesnt show up for at least an hour. He still jumps in on any brawls that may occur while he is there as well. Out of respect for the owners, and other patrons, he is still a bouncer at hear.

But the Brawls are nothing new to Cliff, even the particularly nasty ones.

Although the brawl doesnt instill any curiousity in him, the 3 gnomes do. He has met them before, and does know their craft. He has even added his voice and instrument into their dancing routine on a few occasions, but he wonders why the two entertainers (and kitten) would be in jail.

As Cliff is most often very blunt and socially inept at keeping his mouth shut, he just comes out and asks before he leaves the interview with Gis. "So wha' caused them little gnomes to be det... detai..." He struggles with the word for a moment, then gives up, "...put in jail? They typically ain't very roudy folk."

I don't think I've ever been quite so nervous to click on a link before... I think I'll need another Crown and Coke first.

...I suppose I should be a bit more clear about the where and when of everyone in the posts, but the PCs are not in D'Marosso's banquet hall at this time. They are in the main garrison at the Constabulary HQ.

The scene between Gis and Gustav was given for the players, as members of the audience, independent of the characters.

You'll be in the banquet hall soon enough, don't worry!

(Or, you know, worry. )

Of course it does, and Calahan's having breakfast. Whether it involves tentacled lobsters is up to him.

However, on a second reading, I realized my opening scene may be a little too ambiguous. I never pull one or two players aside away from the other players to run a scene at my table--everyone can hear what happens whether or not their characters are there. I carry that through to my online style. I've started adding scenes completely separate from the PCs that I think the players will enjoy or will help set the stage.

So there you go. Sit back and enjoy.

By the way, kudos to industrygothica for making the portrait of Darian--good photoshopping!

If anyone wants to add pictures to their IC posts, feel free; I use Flickr extensively, but there are lots of sources out there.

I've got my picture for Skyler, but I can't take credite for it. I just found it on the web and it was an accurate portrayal of the character.

But yeah...nice work IG!

Well, I'm not taking all the photos, either.

The pictures are quite good, and thanks, Rhun, for providing them. The picture for Eugene is also excellent, and all of these additions are most welcome!

Anything that adds to the gaming atmosphere is a good thing, I think. Now, we just need more of your creepy finds, IVV!

Okay, 6 source pics and way too much time in GIMP later, Ru has a character pic I'm relatively satisfied with.
