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.
((So... my Facebook got password hacked, and the recovery options aren't working. And, over the last two days, haven't slept more than half an hour total, despite my trazodone. Had like 6 beers tonight, have a couple left, will take a full pill tonight, and hope to sleep. And, finished the application for the new place, probably will have to help the folks tomorrow.))
Did you know.....The original candy canes were straight sugar sticks that were often used to decorate Christmas trees. The first historical reference to the cane shape was in 1670, when the choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany bent the sugar sticks into the shape of a shepherd's staff. Candy canes remained white until the early 20th century when red stripes and peppermint flavor became popular.
((So... the folks called me upstairs to help figure out how to get their SSI paperwork to the new landlord... we were discussing it, when the landlord emailed that all three of us are denied... mostly the main thing was "poor rental history; insufficient income (they're on SSI); no credit file; if no judgment was rendered on them after they appealed the initial eviction notice, then they gave their 30 days notice, can they rescind that (this is Minnesota, ya shure, ya betcha) and stay?
Michelangelo wrote a poem about how much he hated painting the Sistine Chapel...One translation of the poem he sent to his friend begins: I’ve already grown a goiter from this torture, hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy(or anywhere else where the stagnant water’s poison).
Something just dawned on me. You know how we went from two digit years to four digit years because of the Y2K bug? In like 9K years we'll have to go to 5 digit years to combat the problem again
