There we go.  Sorry to be slow off the mark, I was just kinda dragging my feet on setting up the formatting for my posts  :-\<br/><br/>So far as Factions go, Sheen in an Indep, but she owes some favors with the Bleakers and isn't at all above mixing up hallucinogenics for Sensates (good ol' Alchemy skill), so she gets around a bit.<br/><br/>As for connections for the group, well, both Barik and Narissa<em>sound</em>like they're fairly new to The Cage, and the Clueless are more or less Sheen's pet charity.  If either of them needed help getting set up with a place to bed down for the night, Sheen could set them up until they get on their feet (she doesn't Fatigue, so she usually just uses the bedroom of her apartment for storage, it can make a handy guest room in a pinch).  She might've helped them find work even (maybe even cut them in on some of her own work, GhazPORK knows there are occasions where a job would go easier with a little obvious muscle in tow...).  Jolly's a little trickier just because she's so high profile ... but I'd bet she's made a few wagers on the cavalier's challenges in the past.  Depending how much jink those bets put in her pocket, she'd probably be positively disposed towards her simply by association.
