-
- Jason looks up. "Actually, I'd be willing to split that one with you. I
- -like- sauerkraut. Comes from being half german, I guess."
-
- The Grey lady looks to see who spoke. She sees a man in his late 20's to
- mid 30's. His beard and hair are both dark brown. His hair is caught back
- into a short pony-tail, revealing a cybernetic implant interface, or
- Cyberlink, just under the base of the ponytail. A 5mm black cable connects
- that interface jack with a futuristic laptop-sized computer that sits
- before him. The display of the computer is a holographic cube, floating
- over the cyberdeck. He seems to be able to operate the computer without
- touching it. The man is wearing a black leather jacket, dark jeans, and a
- black Greek Fisherman's hat.
-
- He continues speaking "By the way, I was having newsreader difficulties
- when you and the Bard returned, and I don't believe I properly introduced
- either myself or my companion."
-
- He gestures to a woman seated at his table. Like him, she is about six feet
- tall. But she has a downy, golden-brown pelt of short, sleek fur, and the
- ears, whiskers and tail of a domestic cat. She'a wearing a black velvet
- mini-dress, and a matching inch-wide velvet choker, set with a single
- sapphire. It matches her eyes. Her shoulder-length hair is at the moment
- dyed cyan blue, with white highlights, and the fur on her face is marked
- with an inverted triangle of blue surrounding each eye. The Grey lady
- raises one eyebrow, just slightly.
-
- The man says "This is Thyra. She's a shapeshifter. Don't let the color of
- her hair get to you. Her hair is normally medium brown, but she and Kitten
- have been playing games with their hair color lately." The feline woman
- extends her hand in greeting. "Purrrfectly pleased to meet you, my Lady.
- And your fine friend, the Bard as well. Welcome home. The gentleman who
- just introduced us, neglecting to mention his own name, is Jason. He's a
- Decker. He works in cyberspace, locating and manipulating information for
- his clients. He also happens to write Cyberpunk style science fiction, and
- filksongs on just about any topic."
-
- Jason clears his throat. "Ahem. Yes. Well, Grey Lady, can we buy a drink
- for yourself and the Bard? We're certainly glad to meet new friends."
-
- Hugs and Purrs,
- Jason & Thyra
