Nice. I'm from Wyoming, where it has snowed, one year or another, on every day of the calendar. We have all 4 seasons, but we have them all at once.

In my experience, 'strictly business types' go one of two ways when they're off the clock: 1.) completely unchanged, since they have forgotten how to truly have fun, or 2.) a complete party animal, following the old adage "work hard, party hard." No idea into which camp Zephiron falls. But I love the afterparty idea, and that deal gives some nice juicy stakes for the bet.

Your logic makes sense for the drawback, but I've always thought that logistics was a different sort of drawback. I mean, if I'm fighting a man who has (deep breath) nice body armor, cybernetic leg enhancements (or a personal heads up display that lets them fight two people at once without problems, or a health regen system, or a Limit Break adrenal pump), a sit-rep computer that can locate target weaknesses, a Dust-powered 3D printer, a rifle/halberd strong enough that the cyber-legs are a requirement to use it and can slice through armor, a pneumatic knife/swordbreaker/pistol on each hand, customizable grenades, and what appears to be a Dust-powered jetpack, (stops to catch breath) the idea that it will cost him some money to restock after the fight isn't going to give me much comfort, especially since he obviously has some Jay-Gatsby-level financial backers.

And thanks for the compliments. I never considered myself much of a writer, so it's nice to hear I did good on this one. Hopefully, the next character or two will work just as well.
