Also - Claw will most probably inquire of Easy more about the tapes that
she received

(From the looks of it - they have a VERY similar outlook on things)

Which means they'll get along fine or want to kill each other.

Easy is a certifiable homicidal psychopath.

That doesn't mean she kills everyone she sees: it does mean she can't
really see most other people as anything except talking furniture, and
the deaths of strangers who get in her way mean almost nothing to her.

She does disapprove of random murder, or of killing people who were not
in the way. And she has very strong views about rape amd torture, and
considers anyone who goes around doing that to others without
provocation deserves a healthy dose themselves.

>Which means they'll get along fine or want to kill each other.
>(Claw has got that Batman/Punisher complex)

Easy's more The Crow... :)

Claw isn't this bad. He just goes out and hunts down those in society that
he sees as needing destroying. Usually this is Wendigo, Vamps, Serial
Killers, Serial Rapists, snuff film people, large drug and BTL's producers
and Pushers (especially those who push to children).

He's a lot more lenient on the gangs, unless they start killing to many
innocents. He does believe in survival of the fittest, and looks at Gangs
like a pack of wolves, they prey on certain elements of society, its only
when they get too rabid does he get decide to go have fun. He thinks of
himself as much like his Totem panther, with his prey being that which is
evil and not in the natural order of things - that which which has become
sick or corrupted. His view is definate;y different, he believes that
humans, because of what they are, do not always kill for food, but for
other reasons, but he can not stand wholesale thoughtless destruction and
murder.

> Easy's more The Crow... :)

another good annology - he does protect his friends (what very few he has.)

Oh - he can probably see if she is a Vamp - it does tend to leave certain
tell-tail markinngs on the aura - not the least of which is being dual
natured. The other is the need to drain the life from victims - a need
which leaves marks on the aura, and tend to vary the aura's energy also.
He probably is the most powerful Panther Shaman in the Northern Hemisphere
(but considering that they are very few - this does not say much.)
(In my games, I figure that there probably are about 5 panther shamans in
the northern hemisphere, and Claw has met them all. It helps that Panther
Shamans are not one of the stated Totems, and wasn't a large Native
American Totem, though it was HIGHLY respected when it did appear in the
native culture. - I have a decent write up on my homepage :) - with a
decent bit of research put into it.)

As for the Elf Vamp thing - I tend to stick to the books for things
that are already stated (because it keeps continuity, and that way I don't
have to come up with new ideas that show up in FASA books two years later
(this has only happened 4 times so far - but they are stealing - I just
have a good intuition for this type of things). ANYWAY, Elf vamps over
all really don't matter much - having one isn't going to make the world
fall apart (its like using different kinds of chocolate chips in a cookie,
its different - but it really doesn't matter, while using nuts instead
gives you a whole different cookie that isn't a chocolate chip cookie. And
yes, I do love allusions :) .)

Not guilty... I'm perfectly innocent, and the culprit has been soundly
beaten.

Anyway, deepest apologies to all. The person responsible is now a large
smear on the floor.

(Here, does that mean I get to claim the reward??)

Unfortunately my mailer defaults to placing a sig on the posts, and they
have to be manually deleted before posting. The irresponsible oik
forgot. :(

Never mind, it'll not happen again.... Not until the broken bones heal
anyway :)

Mine does as well....
What I do is keep the quoted text underneath as I'm writing and then delete
to the bottom after I've finished....

And yes, I know... I do it as well sometimes....

Be surprised. A sane person might quit, but _nobody_ ever accused Easy
of being sane :)

Also, she considers she has a deal with Stormwind. He helped her out
when she really, really needed it. Now she'll stick with him; she owes
him as fas as she's concerned.

And she likes the work ;)

Hi,

as I was going through the logs for some selfish (what else) reason, I
wondered... where did all those people greeting Easy back among the
living get their info from?

The only information issued to that point (Jan 1st/2nd) was Vincenzo's
statement that Julia Wolfe (a fake ID, and not many people would
probably connect it to Easy) was alive - w/o proof, of course. Did I
miss something?

I don't know about the others, but while investigating a missing-person case
Sam-I-Am/Cat in the Hat/Lorax discovered that the missing person's remains
had been reported as Easy's, which strongly implied that Easy wasn't dead.
This was confimed when they got a hold of part of the police report on the
Nakamura killings. Killer was a heavily-cybered young elven woman? Wonder
who that could be...

Hey Sascha,

I shameless re-post parts of a post written by Paul which was from
Quinn to Geiger. *grin*

---

*****PRIVATE: Geiger
>>>>>[[...] If it's because of Colleen, then I'm still sort of
involved and I can help out.

Actually, if you think it's Colleen, you might want to contact Easy,
who's apparently somewhat less dead than rumour would have us all
believe, even if she does seem to have OD'd on James O'Barr. She's
still got a stake in that situation, remember? [...] ]<<<<<
-- The Mighty Quinn <02:16:32/01-02-59>

Geiger knows, which means his crew knows, and probably Shadowfox and
Midnight, and maybe Doomsday (haven't decided, and doesn't really
impact anything yet.) Most of my characters were hoping it was a
faked death anyway. Hence Geiger's lack of reaction. (After all,
Easy is no stranger to the stunt they pulled with Blitzkrieg.)

However, as I've recalled, I have yet to send anything to her, or
post anything public about their knowledge.

As far as how Quinn found out, well, I can take several guesses, but
a phone conversation between close friends that occurred off list was
probably how Quinn found out. Paul would be able to answer better
though.

Well those who needed to know, and who Griffyn associated with
would have known shortly after he helped Easy kill Heihachi.
He wasn't talking before that though -- I had to bust my ass
to find her, so everyone else should too. That reminds me:
Paul, who's ward was Easy hiding in anyhow? You can mail me
privately if you like.

Inside Heihachi's, as a matter of fact :)

She'd subverted one of his security staff (the guy had pretensions to
honour, and Heihachi's betrayal of a customer disgusted him) and knew
the layout, the patrols, and where you stood a good chance of being
overlooked: she took advantage of the relaxation when Twitch "killed"
her to get in, and hid in the roof space for four days before emerging
at the party.

She'd faked kidnapping him, and let it be known around the Eight that
the man had died without revealing anything. Dwayne dutifully passed
that on.

The cliche "last place they'd look" springs to mind...
