so, from the looks of it, most actions are along the lines of 'find suitable transportation to the Danger Zone.'
SO, for those who have done so, check the bottom of the post for a group situation - where yo are and what's going on.

vrrm vrrm. Is the lifter gas or electric powered? I recommend gas.

go to the bus station]
[/quote]you've broken your spoiler. Anyway, you are bussed to the place.
Gershom suddenly remembered something very important. "...Hey, Bob, have we topped up on the spice mix after that scuff yesterday?"
The orangutan grumbled noncommittally, reached into his pants' right pocket, wiggled the fingers inside, and raised a finger so the raven could see it.
There was barely enough mustard stuck to the fur to reach to the base of the fingernails.
"Dammit. Just when I'm out of cash." Gershom looked up and down the dingy, trash-littered street. "Let's grab ourselves a bottle, then."
Bob: On our way to the bus station, look for a clean bottle and hide it under my jacket.
Gershom: Look for relatively well-off people while we ride to the hub. If there are any, as unlikely as that would be on a bus, chat them up, use conversational hypnosis to inconspicuously nudge them into giving me their number. You can never have enough friends.

Magic Focus (Mental Magic): a walnut-sized crystal ball fitted to a collar, which shows anything I want it to show and magically attracts the attention of anyone who sees it.
Spellbook (Mental Magic): an enormous, horribly dry monography on all the spells that were ever known to influence minds. It's a great aid in hypnosis, since it drives lesser minds into stupor within minutes of trying to read it.
Robert Smith: a heavy-set orangutan with a football player's build and some neatly trimmed, polished nails. He is enthralled by equal amounts of magic and reason, and believes that I always have the best idea on what to do.

clean bottle? (3) bob finds a couple unbroken bottles along the way and stuff one under his shirt. it smells of alcohol and is coated in dirt. Now, a word about your assistant - I am treating him as an autonomous bot. Misuse him as if he were a second character and I'll start rolling resistances against actions and the like - he'll put his personal interests above yours and become a hired npc. In fact, that is a danger even if you use him as an autonomous bot, since he is effectively a Charmed Person. Also. ALWAYS use third person when refering to him, or I will mistake him for you, and GMs get surly when that kind of thing happens.
(3) The best you can find are the bus driver and someone who looks like a college student who is in the wrong part of town. (2-1) the bus driver, hardened by years of this kind of work, scowls at you so hard you visibly recoil. When you go to chat up the student, yo ucatch the eye of the bus driver in the big mirror they have up front, and fall silent under her piercing, reptilian gaze.

Name: Kitsugare "Kit""
Animal Species: Snow Fox
Size: A bit small.
Job/Class: Spellcaster
Trait: Natural Spellcasting (Kit already has the basics of spellcasting down, and knows Mage Hand as a cantrip. This cantrip summons an ghostly hand that can interact with the world on behalf of its summoner. Who knows what else Kitsugare'll learn...)
Stats:
Mind: 3
Strength: 0
Dexterity: 1
Equipment:
Spell Book - A faded, pastel pink book, with a broken clasp where a lock would go. Normally tied shut with a long blue ribbon. Has straps so he can Mage Hand it to be carried on his back. Written in a code only he knows, or so he claims. "I can't tell you how aggravating it is to rely on paper to remember my spells. But at least I crammed Mage Hand into my skull..."
Focus - A really nice vape pen, long emptied of juice. "If you hold it in your mouth long enough, you can start to taste the knowledge of the old days... It's kinda fruity and sweet."
Melee Weapon - Mildly enchanted Bowie Knife with a faintly glowing 7 on the handle. "That's the number of people who've tried to touch my book... and failed. Care to make it 8?"
30 Monies
"Frickin... This is what I get for using a diary as a spellbook... So much writing..."
He continues pawing through his spellbook, looking for at least some of his spells, like...
Magic Missile
Minor Illusion
Backup of Mage Hand
High Level Necromancy Spell, scribbled down by someone else
Chromatic Sphere
((Ah, apologies. I actually dont know what kinda spells I get to start with - I mentioned Mage Hand as memorized, and I said Magic Missile a bit ago, but I didn't want to just be like "here are spells I am powerful yes" - I wanted you, the GM, to decide what I have. I'll just list them now and you decide yes/no))
you can have any two of those except the high level necromancy skill. Magic missile will not be an automatic hit, though. You will be able to control it a bit, curving it around obstacles or stuff like that though.
Try to find some sort of clothing to cover my armor with, even just a trash bag I can poke arm holes and a head hole inn and make myself look homeless.
After that, I’ll find my way to a gun store. See if they have a silencer that would fit my assualt rifle. If I find one I can afford, buy and attach it.
Name: Rosaline “Rosy” Cobb
Animal Species: Honey Badger (anthro)

Job / Class: Commando
Background: Following a short, but violent military career, Rosy found good money working as an enforcer for a third world warlord (the kind backed by a first world intelligence agency). However, even Rosy has standards, so when when she realized she didn’t have the stomach for that kind of work, she decided to head homeward and see if she could use her skills in a more honest profession. For better or worse, she ended up here.

alright. Understand that telepathy will be rather limited in it's scope, range, and type of information you can get. It'll still be valuable, I'm sure, just hopefully not too OP.
I assume you are hitching a ride or getting on the bus with the rest of the lot? Be a long walk otherwise.
Ignore any actions more recent than this post. I will make new actions soom, must have missed my turn, sorry about that.
Lenora flies over to the cat and gives him the catfood and liver.
"I hope you like liver, it seems fresh."
"Delightful. Perhaps I'll make you my personal asistant. You seem to have at least half a brain. rare these days." The cat digs right into the liver, making little growly sounds as he eats.
good work identifying which post I needed to concentrate on. And thank you for deleting the turn quote. My personal practice when copying my character sheet in other games is to copy the sheet from my most recent action (rather than from the turn itself), edit it to reflect any changes from the turn, and removing the quote tags to avoid quote clutter. Other options work too, like linking your character sheet by posting a link to the post your sheet is found in, or keeping a text document with that information and just quoting off there.

Mind:0
Strength: 4
Dexterity:0
Equipment (start with 100 monies)

Things Mr. Itch is
Mute, Polite, Practical, Questionably Amoral
Things Mr. Itch is not
Hesitant, Fearful, Respectful of personal space, Easily Comprehensible
Mr. Itch follows the crowd heading out the selected mode of transport, making sure he has his big metal club with him. He gives it a few practice swings before carefully squeezing into the transport which is, more than likely, too small for his girth. He keeps the club in his lap and sits absolutely motionless except for his antennae which continue to whirl about, thumping into the ceiling and occasionally slapping other riders.
You annoy some passengers on the bus, which has a set of door wide enough for your alarming extensiveness and a lng bench which is wide enough but short enoug htat you fel like it wants to throw you off into the aisle every time the bus jostles or turns.
the lot of you arrive at the bus hub, mill around for a bit waiting on the D line, and try to look inconspicuous. you fail to look inconspicuous. Some of you fail to look inconspicuous more than others. Then you board the D Line and wait some more before arriving at your destination. You climb off the bus and stand around in n awkward group, staring around like a bunch of violent tourists.
Look in the spoilers
The area looks like this. there are some mammals and birds in the little grassy area, cavorting. There are a few larger, surlier looking animals grouped up by those two sets of stairs. Their spot and stripe patterns on their hides are definitely artificial. There's what looks like a donkey carcass sprawled out in front of the tires, and a whole heap of rats in a weird knotted ball, swarming around each other a bit past that on the sidewalk.
As for June (Egan's character) (6) you clank right up into the intersection in your fourlegged pallet mobility vehicle and putter to a stop. all eyes shift form teh group of awkward mercs to your ride. It isn't even pimped out with spinning rims or lighting under the carriage. It definitely looks stolen though, so that's a plus, right?
as for Lenora: well, she made no action to join the gang, so she's still at the office, attending the boss.
