Maaaaan, I am waaaaaay late to the party. Haven't even gotten through all the new characters yet and there's something like 8 IC posts I haven't read.

I'll try and catch up, but I've got a character now. No longer lurking. I've got another character to add, his 10 year old son, but I'll read up on the IC before I do that. Eric has the [i]opportunity[/i] to run into other groups, especially coming from Kansas City like he is, but considering the circumstances with his son in tow and the only way they've survived this long is staying the hell away from others it's unlikely that he'll be paired with anyone from the start.
