Though now they all know you're the genuis behind the character.
I remember Shadey first met Sal, small conversation then interruption from Shadi. Hard to make them interact too much anyway since Shadey was a quiet sort of angsty person.
Val met him in a much more strange way. She was coming out of a place and he was going in. She bumped into him, in her clumsy way, and fell down. Told him her name and she left. She heard his but made no indication. I remember how much she made him talk just because she loved his accent. Ahh she's adored him for so long.
About the journal, she's got it hidden in the apartment now. Probably because of something Allen said during a visit to the Rose last night. The journal is findable though that would have to be discussed. Val camps the apartment quite often.
Speaking of Journals. I think between stories, I'll be updating hers since she mentioned needing a new one in her last entry. The same for her as it is for Sal. It's just an electronic portrayal of her written diary. I'll start a profile for her soon. I wanted to when I found these threads. I just have to piece it together. Off to work!
