If ex-LAPD, now private eye, Noah Chance were to walk into the room right now, I'm not certain what I would say to him. He is often sensitive, but more often tough-minded and once angered, capable of some outrageous behavior. He comes from a very self-destructive place, constantly reforming himself according to his view of the cosmos.

So -- he walks into the room. "Hi," I would say.

"Make mine scotch. Three fingers. Neat."

And, accordingly, that might be the end of the conversation. But give him a problem to solve...and watch the changes take place.
