Worked up a<em>monster</em>of a post to kick off Hester's part of the story, but don't consider it the sort of thing LittleKitten is looking for from the rest of you, nor what my average post length will<em>actually</em>be.  I'll probably cut it down to a paragraph or two at most when I'm finally interacting with other players and our lovely DM.<br/><br/>Speaking of which LK, I know I took some liberties by creating a whole bunch of side characters.  Feel free to control any one of them, even Gerry (since I think I made his personality pretty clear), and Marty.  As for the punks--well, doesn't every story need some nameless redshirts for the DM to screw around with?   ;D
