Great AMA, Nev!
Imagine a version of Nevon that joined VILE, what's he like, why would he join VILE, and what do you think his stance would be on ACME's Chase Devineaux?
I wouldn't change a thing, sir. But if I had to change one thing, it would be to have more gatherings. We don't really have many activities where agents can mingle outside of niche groups or field work.

(Writing this OOC) Nevon in VILE would end up being an accountant. It's his natural groove, and I think he feels most comfortable with checks and balances. I think he would see Chase Devineaux as a threat to his way of life, but not as a direct enemy. He probably wouldn't be inspired by Chase in any way, because he would be loyal to Carmen. But he probably wouldn't have spoken much to Carmen either. He would be happy just crunching numbers.
What would be your ideal suit of armor made up of everyday objects (buckets, pans, bubble wrap, etc. May be held together by duck tape, gum etc.), the situation in which you would use it, and the weapon accompanying it?
I really like numbers, they make sense to me more than anything else. There's one correct answer to balancing a sheet, and you get to see a structure to it.
I always thought that no matter how you do it, the math doesn't lie. Even if you cook the books, you can always go back and see when the cooking might have happened.
I was inspired when my stepmom showed me her work. She's a great accountant! A real unsung hero.

In the bunker, we experimented a lot with armor. We made some prototypes in compressed foam to see how it balances on the human body when worn.
But if I had to pick anything, I'd go with lightweight plastic that can be layered. Because layering can help deter an attack. My weapon of choice would have to be a hockey stick. It's the longest thing I have and I'm better with keeping range between me and my opponent.
I just heard on the news they're going to have to remove the Sakura trees in Washington because of damage to a sea wall. They have to build a sea wall and replant new trees.
@Lucy ... don't know if you really want wolf spiders in your home... I'd go for jumping spiders, they can't bite... wolf spiders are the fast movers, and they can bite.
((Will lose my ACP internet towards the end of the month, unless anyone knows about it ending sooner. Trying to switch my Lifeline phone to a better provider that doesn't shut me off after four and a half gigs of data, nothing but failure so far and "call here" and "it's on their end" and the back and forth crap... in the morning, it's time to demand the supervisor and might even get to harsh language (after three days of that). I plan to use the Lifeline phone tethered as Internet source, share that to my own router... I've done it before (it's messy, and not 100% effective, but it works). ))
((The 'net is the main way to apply for jobs now, so I need that, and I've moved/changed Lifeline providers before without an issue, so no idea what the problem is. I have active Verizon through ACP, active Lifeline through Airtalk... is that somehow the issue? If anyone knows, please let me know before I tear someone a new one (ya know what I mean). After three days of this, and two days about a month ago, I'm ready to walk there with katana in hand.))
((And, thoughout this process, I want to port my number (have the info for that) and use the phone I have (Samsung Galaxy S9... gotten for free through Airtalk... note to anyone: if you choose a nice phone through them, you are locked into a 120 day "commitment" to get the phone for free, and they have a very hard data limit... once you use up your data, they cut you off, point blank.))
