ROTFLMAO!!!

You Bastard! ;)

I couldn't stop laughing after this post for ages. I just kept getting the
same thought of a van of rough tough shadowrunners driving off on a job,
Sammy cleaning/fingering his weapons, rigger driving what's paractically an
armoured van/tank, troll combat mage getting all his fetishes and stuff
ready, adept sharpening his Katanna and then in the front passenger seat the
Night One leaning out the window and panting like a dog!

Think I'll go watch a Marx Brothers film to try it dislodge the picture from
my head, a Night at the Opera's just coming on the telly. ;)

Just to pull this thread kicking and screaming a little bit back on topic,
away from the doggy shampoo, there's a condition that manifests a lot like
the Night One's fur.

It's called 'Hypertrichosis'. It's bloody rare but one of the symptoms is
that the body grows long fine, diffuse excess hair on either every part of
the body or confined to certain parts, pot luck really. Didn't the SRComp
say that Night One's hair is fine? Sounds like someone just looked this one
up out of a medical textbook and thought 'That looks nice and freaky, I'll
use that'.

People with hypertrichosis look like werewolves or wookies. Night Ones, I
always thought, looked more like they were covered in velvet. Its a mattere
of hair length.

Dark velvet... hmmm... So instead of tattoos, can they get portraits of
Elvis painted on them? :)
