Deuce is still smearing poo on the walls of the park bathroom, but I guess every park needs a stinky, homeless nutjob.
Like most of these guys, with their unwelcome odor and behavior and their disregard for social norms, he feels he has every right to be there, doing what he does.
But the vigilantes who want to clean up the park for the kids feel the same way, and they're packing more than non-lethal rounds.
I guess we'll see how things shake out after night falls, since this is a wild west kinda town and ignoring curfew is more of a death sentence than just a casual oversight. You know how we roll.
Shotgun shells are red,
Zoners are blue,
Who s#it on the swings?
Nice tits.
I have been doing some historical research and I think I have figured out where all this Q_Q comes from--> even the Zoners in Vanilla lore were the folks who stomped out of the room in a huff with a "I'll teach them" attitude. They just happened to stomp out of House space.
But they cut off their nose to spite their face, because by protesting against the Houses they had to deal with all the riff-raff out there, without much in the way of planetary resources.
That's why, even though they play at "neutrality" and "diplomacy" their photon blasters are named "Fury"-- that's pretty telling isn't it. They aren't so peaceful after all-- they're furious. They are boiling like a teakettle and steaming inside.
Of course, with increased range they just want to keep you at bay rather than getting up close and dirty, but that just makes the Fury an ideal passive-aggressive weapon. According to the Vanilla wiki page their philosophy is thus: "Zoners mostly use photon cannons. These fire slowly and do less damage, but have a strong range advantage, in keeping with the Zoner's philosophy of keeping trouble far away." But they do that by opening their Freeports to all? That seems like inviting trouble right in the front door.
I think the truth of the matter is that they are desperate-- they both need the business and resources that open-docking brings in, but then they have to deal with all the bar fights and skirmishes that erupt from disagreeable folk rubbing shoulders.
So on the one hand they need to play the role of Lady of the Night with her legs wide open, hanging out the red light to all comers, and on the other they need to play Sheriff of a Wild West cattle-town, which means that sometimes their six-shooter gets stuck in their garter lace. And this makes them Furious.
All they want is to keep trouble at arms length, while at the same time if trouble has enough cash they want to let it right up in there, at least for the four-hours they got on the room.
And when Sheriffs in drag find themselves dealing with heightened emotions, the tears tend to flow.
So here, for your reading pleasure, is the new infocard for the Zoner "Fury":
This is a saltwater-based weapon which, though providing a high tearflow rate, requires enormous amounts of energy to deliver a message to deaf ears. This weapon is most effective against hormonal women, and weakest against boss gunslingers. Zoner weapons have a small range advantage, but at a reduced rate of fire-- except when they're really upset, then you can't stop them. This is the best and the newest massive bomb of impotent rage the Zoners have to offer.
