Emilena and Sanjay are gonna need some way to get back in contact with the others.

I suppose once they're clear of the Purifiers they can commandeer a car. It can even be Patrick's car if he feels like driving soon after waking up

Since Lupis had some contact with Tony (what with the whole blank business card), maybe he could somehow meet with Emilena and Sanjay as they escape and tell them to seek out his family home, assuming the group would take cover there? I'm not sure, Lupis and Tony are the only link I can think of.

World building issue: meat and leather.

I established that leather was sealskin or sharkskin.

Now like all my anthro RPs, meat is seafood. Now should I allow the meats we eat in real life under the justification that it's in-vitro meat or will the "in-universe eww factor" make no-one want it?

This world accepts orphan cloning. I think it would add to the extent that humanity has lost a lot of its humanity over the years. So I vote yes.

I like that idea too, suits the tone of the rest of the RP.

If I maybe so bold, I got two Possible solutions.

One, meat substitutes.

Two, eating non anthro animals.


I don't mean to distract from the Rp, but I oppose chopping up anthro's and humans for food. If a story becomes too dark and Morbid, most people won't want to read it, I'm worried that the same might happen here.

Well, if it's in-vitro that means they wouldn't actually be killing and chopping up actual people, just mass producing in the labs the parts that are to be eaten.

Also, this RP's gone to some fairly dark places already, so if people have been reading this I don't think it would trouble them too much  :p

People read roleplays they aren't participating in?

Serris, if you want to take Emilena to see your new doctor, that's okay only if you start posting more frequently. Like, once a day minimum.  Otherwise I think they could commandeer a car and head to Tony's house, I'm gonna try to work with Lupus tipping them off. Unless your second character Serris might be interested in discovering Lily's whereabouts through hacking or something. She's probably giving off the highest psionic reading in the city right now, but no modern technology would know how to scan for that.

I took a third choice, they carjacked someone and ordered them to drive to Stephenson Memorial Hospital.

--------

As for the in-vitro meat, it's illegal but that doesn't mean people don't do it. It's just available only on the black market.

What's notable about this hospital? Is it the Purifier one?

Is it really safe for them to visit a hospital?

It's the same one where Emilena got her implants but Sanjay doesn't know that. Besides, he's not seeking medical treatment so it's unlikely his illegal implants will be discovered.

Huh. Well, this should get interesting. No way they're getting out of that without trouble.

Since I PMed this info to Pterano, I thought I should also post it here, some background info on Denny North:

Denny North lives in a very ordinary suburban home with his wife Lily and two daughters. He works as a lawyer, and his wife stayed home and cared for the kids.  He's been indicted twice for domestic abuse but got off both times, and his house has never been searched. Since Lily disappeared he has used the publicity to start an online fund drive where sympathizers can send the family money to put towards finding her; this money does not appear to have been used in any way yet. Both daughters are homeschooled.
