>>>>>[ Easy searched through the club looking for anyone who fit the
description of Orion. After asking several patrons if they knew Orion
she began to think she was being stood up by the creep.

Before she can turn to leave an attractive male moves out of the crowd
and directly in front of Easy. "I believe that I am who you are looking
for. You are Easy?" A slight smile and that boyish face make him seem
so innocent. This could not be Orion.

"And who do you think I am looking for" says Easy?

The young man slowly leans closer whispering in her ear. "The man who
stole the heart of Artemis, the only mortal to find love in her arms,
the same man she slew by accident and placed in the stars to be
immortal. Orion the hunter, at your service." His presence seems to
have a definite effect on Easy. "Shall we find a seat?"

Orion and Easy move to a booth. "Are you hungry, or would you like
anything" Orion ask.

"Maybe a little something" says Easy. She gives the waiter her order,
Orion orders nothing, and there is silence at the table until her drink
arrives.

Orion starts the conversation. "So I hear you and some others are
hunting me for Mako." Easy almost chokes on her drink. "That's not a
very wise decision."

"A girl has to make a living."

Orion's face turns deadly serious. "A girl, or man will get killed
playing games with me. Forget it, if you have taken any money then
hide, if you haven't then drop the contract or I will kill you, your
friends, and then I'll get to Mako and his...." in a lower tone "his
buggy friends."

At this point a waiter comes carrying a letter on a silver platter over
to Orion. Orion looks at the letter and there is a brief look of
concern on his face. He says something in Sperethrial and a faint glow
surrounds him. His right hand moves under the table and Easy hears a
soft "snickt."

The waiter pales a bit and says, "Sir is there a problem?"

Orion snatches the letter with his left hand. His nose twitches a bit,
"Lemons, flowers?" Opening the letter his eyes scan it briefly then
survey the room. "This date is over before it has begun Easy." Orion
tosses the letter at her. "You tell Kor to stop digging into my past.
This is a final warning!" Orion leaves the booth and a glint of metal
protruding from his hand can be seen. Easy can see very long spurs. The
metal is an odd orange color -- Orichulam?!? The spurs retract before
he hits the crowd.

Those watching will see two other individuals join Orion before he hits
the door. One is an elf, his hair is jet black/blue and long, he is
wearing long secure jacket that is black, and despite the poor
illumination in the room he is wearing dark shades. His movements are
very feline.

The other man is large and moves as if he owns the place. He wears a
long trench coat and openly displays various talismans and hermetic
symbols. His hair is cut short and is blond.

Easy looks down at the letter very confused and can see the name
Stephan Nicholas written on the top. There is a faint smell of lemons
and wild flowers. Inside the letter reads "Meet me at McCluire Park in
Snohomish County at 2200hrs. - Kor."

Well at least Orion left a hundred nuyen bill on the table before
left.]<<<<<
