I am definatly in favor of the characters having some 'on screen' time for their everyday lives, I<em>do</em>hope we can get some superhero action too.  *Smiles*<br/><br/>Angie, I apreciate the insight.  When i was first coming up with Penny, my GM and I had her track down a condememed building nad steal all the copper wiring.  I'll probably do some of that in tihs story, too.  While Penny might steal actively in use copper in a truly dire situation, she undetands--or at least suspects adn fears--that she might cause a hospitol to loose comuncation in the middle of a surgery or worse.  She's not going to do that in anything but the most dire situations.
