Milliways' guide for first-time patrons

[herr_bookman]

Autor's been a bit busy recently. He posts his Milliways' Guide for First-time Patrons up on the bulletin board, spreading out the maps.

He also posts the following note:

Attention: I, Autor, am writing this guide for first-time patrons, and require help finishing it. If you see anything missing, please let me know either via note or in person. I'll be sitting by the bulletin board until I finish a pot of tea.

The boy acquires his libation and seats himself at the table nearest the board to wait.

"Ah, true," Autor says, nodding. And then he grins. "Why, if you get that close, you could use a simple can of spray paint, to blind him. Of course, that would probably hurt, and be terrible to clean out," he says. He taps his chin. "Still, if he gets that close, there has to be something you can use to distract and get away. A smoke screen, perhaps."

"If I was actually fighting someone, I might consider spray paint but it would be outside the rules of Rooftop Tag. Granted they were written for games between young superheroes but - No tags that could impede someone's ability of patrol the next day, nothing illegal or we're likely to get in trouble for, nothing that could endanger civilians."

"Those are good rules," Autor says, tapping his chin. "Flashbangs might be right out, given that they might endanger civilians. Possibly."

"That depends on where you use then and how. I use to use tiny little ones, 'bout the size of a marble. They make useful distractions without being too bright or distinctive."

"That's smart," Autor says. "Mine are a bit bigger than that, so I try not to use them around other people. I'll have to try making smaller ones."

[runningred]

"Do you want help making them a bit smaller and easier to use?"

[herr_bookman]

"Really?" Autor says, surprised. "Sure, I'll take that help. Thanks, Jay. You're helping me out quite a bit already."

[runningred]

Jay shrugs. "Easy done. We're all friends here after all."

[herr_bookman]

"Thanks, Jay," Autor says, inclining his head. "I really appreciate that."

[OOC: Fade on these two, you think? Thanks so much for the thread!]
