- Jammer trys to pinch Kitten as she hustles by, laden with pizza and
- drinks. Kitten dodges him deftly. Warrior snorts. Jammer growls at him,
- and Warrior regards the rest of the party with some distress. Warrior is
- not used to prey that suddenly shape changes, not to mention all the
- delicious looking FISH!
-
- Jammer pitches a peanut at Warrior, without moving his paws, Warrior
- snaps the peanut out of midair, and regards Jammer with an expression
- that asks "Have you lost your mind? You, of all people?"
-
- "Well, Soldier, yer a year older. Do ye wish to keep the same name?
- Will Warrior due fer 1993?"
-
- Warrior stares. Jammer laughs.
-
- "We should take notes! Warrior says he doesn't care what I call him, and
- one more year onto a 3,000 year history makes very little statistical
- difference. He's not sure what all the distress is about, and wants to
- know where the wee dragons are."
-
- Jammer wishes all the patrons of The Place a Happy Happy.
-
- Warrior, of course, wishes nothing to anybody. He turns, and gazes at
- Toothpick for a minute, and then continues watching the party.
-
- -Jammer
- 5'9", 190. Black hair, shoulder length, tied back in the mannor of a
- San Poil Warrior. Blue jeans, blue work shirt, an tenny runners.
- A single Eagle Feather, stolen from a dream, well worn, tied to a Buck
- sheath. San Poil males over the age of 13 are NEVER unarmed, and Jammer
- is no exception. A small, subdued civilian size set of jump wings are
- on his collar, and a CIB, and a minature 2d Inf Div shield adorn his
- sheath.
- Jammer is 35 years old, and in a tribe where the average life
- expectancy
- is 42, Jammer is an elder. When pressed, Jammer says an elder is one
- who has assumed responsibility often enough to avoid it now wherever
- possible. Then he will grin, and buy you a drink. Jammer doesn't drink
- alchohal, and spiritual reasons prevent him from altering his mind,
- except by ceremony.
- Jammer has Seen The Bear, many times, in many forms. They know each
- other well.
-
- Jammer met Warrior in a vision, Jammer is a Panther Dreamer.
- Warrior contains and controls all the facets of Jammer that let him
- survive Korea, so that Jammer doesn't have to be burdened with them,
- or carry them around, and be saddened by them.
-
- Warrior is a very dangerous animal, and completely devoted to Jammer.
- It has been eleven years since Warrior attacked.
-
- Jammer likes:
- -Women.
- -The Ballad of Bill Hubbard, (Roger Waters, Amused to Death)
- -Pink Floyd.
- -Perfect Sense, part I & II. (Roger Waters, Amused to Death)
- -Veterans.
- -Laughter.
- -Carmel, the Lady that he loves.
- -Nicki, the puppers that lives with them.
- -All animals, and some humans.
- -Anything that is alive.
- -Bravery.
- -Callahans.
-
- Jammer maintains many spiratual connections with the Grandfathers,
- and has learned to recognize danger, and, having learned that, also
- learned to recognize saftey, and warmth. Jammer believes one is not
- possible without the other, and so both have value.
-
- Jammer had direct ancestors on the Trail of the Dead, and counts Looking
- Glass among his ancestors. Jammer is the Son of Powerful Warriors, and
- has claimed his place in their ranks. Jammer's great great grandfather
- heard Hinmaton Yalatkit give his famous "From where the Sun now stands,
- I will fight no more forever." speech after the Trail of the Dead.
-
- Now you know who Jammer is. Who are you?
-
-
- Jammer sees a refuge, and a place of saftey and warmth in Callahans.
-
- It is Winter, the season of Men-in-the-lodges.
- Jammer is a nomad, and Jammer will winter here.
-
- Warrior teams up with Moon, and they stand watch as 1993 dawns.
