I seem to remember that Nightmare forced WHAT to take responsibility for
all of the damage AJ will do from last winter on, so I'm wondering if
he's still around. Yes, no, maybe?

Oh, and AJ keeps himself fully fed so that when he eats he only consumes
a little at a time, without necessarily killing. Some of you expressed
a little chagrin over the way AJ is, specifially his feeding and not
killing in the process. It would break his character if that was totally
true, and his character is more important. I figure that as long as he
keeps himself "full", then all he has to do is drain a single point at a
time, rather than many points, and is less likely to lose control. The
more he has to eat to live, the more likely he'll lose it and kill.

Oh, is there anyone who hasn't figured out what AJ is yet?

That's certainly the way it works in Vampire: the Masquerade, and I believe
that it is a reasonable system in general. Certainly, I infer that that's
the way it works in all the Shadowrun stuff I've been doing...
