@Aiden ~ no worries, it made sense and all's well, we're all on the same page now, so to speak!  ;D<br/><br/>And...I'm thinking Carmen - as a local - would already know, in whatever fashion, all the regulars. I promise I won't throw in any wild & crazy backstory IC regarding any of your characters (unless we chat about it first, lol). I just thought it would make sense that when our characters meet, we would greet each other as having met before. Except for the new arrivals - Cameron, Jotham & Sam  - and probably Marcus too, since Carmen's visits to town could easily have not coincided with his rare appearances in town for trading.
