Honestly anything that blew smoke would probably work pretty well. My first thought was one of those long cigarette holders that appear so often in movies from the forties. Pipes always make me think old and British.

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]The snowy-haired Gryvain closes her holoband display as you approach and sucks two breaths from her pipe, it’s an old terran design, carved to look like a dragon’s claw and probably packed with tobacco, if the faint aroma of the store is any indication.[/SIZE]

UPDATE:  Welp! I think I'm done for tonight, room descriptions and introduction, finished appearance, (tentatively) restructured the skeleton in preparation for scenes and hammered out a fuckton of tooltips for the buttons. xD

Incidentally which of the four sex scenes in the doc would you rather see as the quote-on-quote "first encounter"?

Bleh, I seem to have fallen into a bit of a creative rut today, I partly blame the recent backer build for adding Half-Gryvain starter race, re-rolling my main character. Probably won't get a whole lot done this weekend either, bought Star Wars VII today and I plan on binge watching episodes I through VI before I dig into it.


Here's a snippet of the room descriptions though.

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]"A wispy veil of smoke clouds the room, filled with spare spaceship parts piled in the corners and half a dozen slowly rotating three-dimensional holograms, each one displaying a different starship.[/SIZE]"

I wanted to evoke an image that is half Watto's junkyard and half dragon's treasure trove, I'd love some suggestions for more things to beef up the paragraph and bit and make the imagery more vivid. :3

I see an opportunity for expansion in the starship holos. What kind of ships does Lenore sell? High-class? (I'm doubtful given the name of the store, but maybe she has one or two bits of luxury stock?  :p ) Low-class? A healthy variety? I think you could describe the ships on display a little bit to give us a better picture of her inventory and the "tone" of her shop. Again, players will probably assume based solely on the name, but you might be able to use that to your advantage. Surprise them! Sure, most of the store could be junkers, junk parts, or just random miscellany, but maybe there's a few bits and pieces here or there that really draw the eye. Higher-quality stuff that shows that Lenore knows her way around the merchandise and can properly assess what has value and what doesn't..  


Also, does she have any assistants or attendants with her in the store? (Doesn't necessarily mean they have to be other NPCs, mind.) A big part of the atmosphere in Watto's junkyard was the quirky little pit droids bumbling around in the background. Made the environment feel busy even though there weren't many customers and the place was essentially just full of trash. ;)  

Thing is, as a former rusher herself Lenore has a predilection toward the sort of scoundrels commonly found in the fringes of space. Her merchandise doesn't look impressive and that's very deliberate as she operates a more "under-the-hood" policy, juiced-up light drives, hidden cargo compartment, concealed weaponry and counterfeit registry IDs. The sort of upgrades smugglers, pirates and bounty hunters look for in a ship. She might keep a couple shiny factory issued vessels to distract and mislead from the more... Unsavory merchandise.


She's also a pretty fucking shrewd business woman as some of her scenes will show.

Still sound very like one who would find you anything for the sufficient price. Also, shiny vessel which looks like it is factory issued should be quite popular...

She probably would, and for the right price I imagine she'd be willing to install similar modifications on a customer's own ship too, like a chop shop. (hence the doc name) but thats not a service that Steele would get to enjoy. (mainly because it'd be a pain in the ass to write and code.) and yeah you're probably right. Shiny sleek ships with such mods would certainly be popular with certain demographics. xP

Depending on how well known Lenore and her shop are in certain circles, some specific class options may be in order. At the very least Smuggler PC should have some idea about what is going on in that perfectly legal and not at all suspicious establishment.


As for sex scenes, I think the foot worship would work best as an introductory option. I must say though, the lack of any boob-centered scenes or vaginal catching in the document's outline makes me quite sad.

Tech too.

I'm pretty sure you can't run a business like that without having a fairly widespread reputation in the underground, so I'm inclined to agree. Not Tech fits in though.

Tech could be qualified to see weirdness in workshop and put things together with intellegence check :)

'Tech Specialist' doesn't really describe much when it comes to PC's previous career experiences. It certainly doesn't point out towards any sort of illegal activity or black market connections.


You can argue that Techies would possibly know about the legal part of Lenore's buisness, but it doesn't seem to be very high profile.

Possibly, but I highly doubt any dealer of shady and/or illegal spaceship hardware would display those goods openly in the store proper. That sort of shit would be tucked away in a back room that only patrons with a special password/phrase would be allowed to see.

And Steele's name is likely such passphrase.

Well... true enough, but it wouldn't be added before spaceship combat and upgrades are actually a thing. For the moment Steele will only be able to buy vaguely described ships of varying crew and storage capacity.

Agreed on all counts, especially about the vaginal catching. As someone who primarily plays female Steeles it makes me sad when a bedicked NPC can't have vaginal sex with my character. It's actually the thing I most dislike about Penny.

something something probably avoiding potential preg requests like the plague something...

Yeah, I understand why it happened with Penny, but it still makes me sad. Besides condoms and Sterilex exist now, so it feels like it shouldn't be that much of an issue anymore.

I wouldn't worry too much about that, while I'm not adding more sex scenes than those four in this submission, (don't want to get overambitious and go overboard.) I am snowballing a quest x-pack somewhere in the back of my mind and I'll probably add more sex scenes with it.

Actually no, since Gryvain are only fertile for one month every year. I can largely sidestep those just with her natural biology.

Gryvain can only get pregnant one month a year, but they can impregnate others year round.

Well, yes... this is true. Though I haven't heard if they're even compatible with non-Gryvain, also I'm less concerned about PC pregnancies, what puts me off about knocking Lenore up is that her cups would balloon out of proportion. She's already a F cup, I really don't need her going up to a double I or something like that.

Maybe I misunderstood the codex, but I thought it was saying that they only balloon during the first pregnancy and then only a slight increase with each successive one.

Well... maybe she's already got mommy boobs? 

Actually, this makes me wonder. You said that you were planning on giving her some kids with Vic. Was she the mother or the father? Or both? I'm not sure which would be more amusing. 


EDIT: Sorry, the you is addressed to Starstruck. Might have been a little unclear with the quote and all.

Yeah she does, actually I was kinda entertaining the thought of adding something like this


{if silly mode + PC Half-gryvain: Lenore sizes you up and smirks. "I didn't know Vic wanted a gryvain offspring, he could have come to me with that... Then again, if he had. I would not be the mother."}

F-cup? Excellent.


Still gonna have to write myself a dragon-milf with enormous knockers someday, tho.
