I have to wonder some time where in the wasteland would people get dyes to dye hair. Natural dies are often short lived and continual dyeing would be tedious as well as carrying the supplies with you. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's been over 200 years since the great war and I'm not sure most haircare products are made to last that long.

I don't really care if your character has dyed hair.
Just poking fun at how it would happen, yours isn't the only character I've seen with dyed hair and it just had me wondering how. Oh reality you always muck everything up. lol


Edit: another note, how are all these people getting around. I mean traveling on foot from D.C. to the Mojave to Texas would take forever. There are no cars as far as I know and horses are extinct or scarce and vertiberds are certainly not a dime a dozen. How would this be possible. O_o
I mean on foot wouldn't it take months to travel from one place to another? Anybody have any answers for that? I'm genuinely curious.

Edit2: What should we do next in the RP? I don't think I have any more for my character to say for them moment. So we are currently hiking down the dusty trail I guess.

 

It took Jacob about two years to get from Chicago to the Mojave, and roughly another two to get to the far side of California from the Mojave, then back through on the way to Texas where he is now. So about four years in total he's been traveling since leaving Chicago, and he's still not very far on the return trip.

 

Easy: fast travel ;D It takes seconds for us.

We could stop for rest and like have camp set out so there's time for guy-to-guy convos

 

Thing would probably take less time when a character is in flight, in comparison to literally stopping in every town along the way to investigate possibilities, or stopping to poke through ruins, or whatever.

 

Aww man, this seems kinda dead, unless someone else has a post.

 

I'm still active but have been waiting patiently for someone else to post. Like you, I also find the time despite school.

 

I don't double post so... yeah. Waiting on someone else.

 

Hey I'm back I'll get caught up in the story and try to post something soon. Sorry for my long abscence.

 

Ok apparently I can't keep my promises.
I got a new computer and had a heck of a time recovering and transfering my old info. The username and password for this site got lost at some point in transit and I have the worst memory ever. So that's the main reason I've been gone so long. I'll try to get caught up on the story and get back in to the RP as soon as I am able.

 

Looks like it might start picking up speed again. Three cheers for me, and the guy next door. Oh and Scythe.
