(Sorry, I've been sick all week.  Great coup de grace, though!  Now, onto the downtime.  Any rolls here, if desired, would be scab rolls.)

The main sewer tunnel continues for a ways, until the characters come to another grate, which is permanently sealed.  Beyond that grate are several small tunnels and pipes, all leading to the compound's plumbing system.  Just before the grate, in the ceiling of the main tunnel, is an access hatch.  The hatchway is big enough for one person at a time, and the hatch itself is a simple turn-wheel.  Beyond it is an airlock, which is big enough for all the characters to crowd inside.

The airlock takes a half-hour to cycle through and pressurize.  When the cycle starts, the hatch to the sewers is automatically locked.  After the hatch is opened and the sensors in the airlock detect people in the airlock and the hatch is closed, the airlock begins its cycle.

The vacuum suits must be discarded at this point, during the airlock's cycling.  The suits are dirty, breached, and inhibit the characters' movements. 

The airlock is located in a maintenance room with many lockers and computer access.  Beyond the maintenance room is a hallway with several locked doors on either side, and the hallway itself turns to the right at the end.  The compound is quiet, as most of the reinforcements have descended into the sewers and met their demise, perhaps through the very maintenance hatch the characters have used. 

Characters begin play in the sewer.  Any lost Chi will be restored during this time.

That Base Jabber image looks like it was made in Google Sketch-Up.  I'll wait for an actual photo before I start getting excited.

Don't get it wet and do not feed after midnight.

(Okay, four Yang and a courtesy Yin against a 4...

Yang: 2, 2, 3, 4
Yin: 6 (!)

Bossk's Yang and courtesy Yin against a 5...

Yang: 2
Yin: 6 (!)

We're losing Chi across the board!  But, the Mook rating has been vanquished: 0 (-2 if you really want to be picky))

(I'll pass my turn for Bossk to have the coup de grace.  After that, it's downtime and basically some free-play until the next scene.  No dice-rolling for this.)

Most "mutt" cats are domestic short-hairs.  Mabel is white and tabby.

And I'm going to go curl up with her and go to sleep.

The vet said to use the pill gun to open Mabel's mouth, but I find it easier to use my finger.  I hold the top of her head, put my finger in the corner of her mouth until she opens it, then give her the pill.  She doesn't like it, but it's over and done in seconds if she doesn't resist too much.

My old veterinary science class and internship comes in handy for this.

We got a pill gun from the vet.  It's this long syringe-thing with a perforated rubber nib at one end and a plunger.  Put the pill in the nib, stick it in the animal's mouth, shoot pill down throat.

Every time I give Mabel her pill, I pet her and rub her and tell her what a good girl she is.

Tonight's dosing was perhaps the easiest.  Mabel didn't resist too much and the pill went down in one go.

Yeah, she got an antibiotic shot, and anti-parasite shot, she's on Prednisone, and samples are being cultured to see if it's fungal.  So far, since she stopped scratching at it... it may just clear up on its own.  Her ears are looking great.

Yeah, joints and such are easily overlooked.  I'm still debating dropping the cash for this one.

Does she feel high on the meds?

No, but her skin infection is subsiding.  It's not so red and she hasn't been scratching at it as much.  

Poor kitty. :(

Indeed.  Mabel has another vet appointment next week.  She's due for another antibiotic shot and a rabies booster.  The vet doesn't know what's going on with her skin infection, as the cause is a bit of a mystery, so they're doing the kitchen sink approach; hit it with everything.

Lousy Shadow Jam aside... How is he articulation-wise?  I could care less about the accessory, I'm more concerned about the figure itself.

My half-brother's cat went to the vet on Thursday and is on Prednisone.  I've been the one to give her the pills.  Medicating a cat is fun!

Because hash (or hashish) is also known as cannabis, drugs or crack. XD

Makes perfect sense.  I should have known.

I see hash tags on Facebook.  What's up with that?

I am not looking forward to going to bed.  Sciatica has been acting up and it keeps interrupting my sleep.

I hate getting old. D:

Print out copies for yourself while you turn in PDFs.  In the event of any electronic failure, you'd have a hard copy as a record.  Doesn't hurt to make copies.
