    So… odds that Kaye is going to receive a visitor with memorable facial hair?

    …Or currently has one?

      Considering she’s the only one alone at this point, and the fact that Scipio is conveniently written off in sidequest limbo with his npcgirlfriend, I think it’s very likely. Have we ever seen her hanging out with the group in person though? I always got the sense that she lived far away from the rest of her friends, although how far (or within our Mustachioed mercenary’s reach) remains to be seen.
      I’m crossing my fingers that she won’t be taken out easily though. She seems tough, and Scipio is one of my favorite characters.

        I wonder what happens to Scipio if Kaye dies. Would he enter a coma because no one is playing him anymore?

          Well we’ve seen that the Akerra folks keep doing things even when their “controllers” aren’t logged on, so my guess would be that he’d keep going…

          Although I’m not sure what would happen if, as a negotiation tactic, a certain mustachioed gentleman took Kaye’s computer and deleted his character.

            …or takes control of Scipio after subduing Kaye! ;-)

      I hope not. Seems a bit risky, too — JJ is rapidly approaching the point where murder is a less-viable option for secrecy.

          Gotta love Jaegermonsters.
          At this point killing is definitely a bad plan, especially with HR in the machine. I think they’re safe for now.

      Ok, I just have to say it. That moustache makes him both the best and the worst assassin ever.

      Best: He’s my favourite character because he has such a sweet ‘stache.

      Worst: He’s super memorable! IF YOU WANT TO BREAK THE LAW, DON’T HAVE THOSE SUPER DISTINGUISHING FEATURES!! THE COPS WILL FIND YOU IN SECONDS IF THEY KNOW TO LOOK FOR “A LARGE MAN WITH A PONYTAIL AND A HANDLEBAR MUSTACHE!!”

        That’s why he has it. If he ever gets caught doing something illegal with too many witnesses, he’s a quick shave away from the perfect disguise.

          It is a high price to pay to have to sacrifice such a glorious moustache, but it is a price one must be aware of when they take on such a profession.

          Bingo. Exactly what made me dig JJB eventually, my first thoughts were “god what the H dumb typical look for this kinda hyped ‘elite’ freelance problem solver” but fairly soon I realized that allowed him to switch into a less intimidating appearance easily, if it would be more effective. Heck he doesn’t even need a full shave to be in disguise- a significant trimming could suffice. Very clever.

    I like Xan’s hair. It looks so fluffy, I want to sink my hands into it.

      You think that’s air you’re breathing?
      We could not afford real artificial air so we left out the Xenon, Neon, Hydrogen, Helium and Krypton and hoped no one would notice.

        That’s only for Subscriber DLC members. It gives a +1 to regen and you don’t have to carry a fork AND a spoon, so -5 to encumbrance. Limited edition comes in Neon.

    Gamers *love* discounts though. No wonder they never log off.

    Well, at least Shanna’s got a healthy dose of self-awareness.

    It’s looking like the next encounter between Bandit & Syr’Nj is going to be an interesting one (assuming there is another encounter).

    He’s tryna reach out and grab ya.

    (Cue 80s-cheeseball video in which HR is a magician, and after he makes Rachel disappear, E-merl’s player wants to be next. Handlebar-moustache escorts him to the stage…)

    No! I’m caught up! Although on the bright side at least now I can comment real time instead of in the distant past.
