that you're in town since you haven't called me? I'm hurt. If you don't
appease me I might show up in the 'Eight with that loud Hawaiian shirt
that I used when we were playing tourist a couple years ago -- assuming it
hasn't been completely consumed by moths.

Going to be in town long enough to catch up over dinner? Is Mani along?

Now handled, to my relief. Didn't fire a shot.


If you turn up at the Eight in _that_ shirt, I'll not only applaud, I'll
sell _tickets_. Turn up any way you like and tell Two-Tone who you are.
We'll just handle matters from there.


Just me... Mani's minding the store back home. Did you bringing
Stephanie along, or is Lynch still keeping her busy in assorted foreign
wars-for-hire so she doesn't just drive that tank of hers up to the
Pentagon and tell then to bring out Ernang in chains or she starts
blasting?


Last I heard, Lynch is still alive and well and _pissed_. Internal UCAS
problems. Lilith is captured and in enemy hands but believed to be
alive. And I'm instructed to stay out... for now. Politics, fucking
politics.


For myself, life is good. I'm just discovering I've got a conscience...
or at least, that I don't like leaving friends in hard places when I
could help but am told not to.

That aside, my friendly tiger, the chef at the Eight still has standing
orders to provide a private room and a full haunch of freshly-killed
prime beef when a shapeshifter visits. Grass-fed cattle, with rich
marbled meat and strong bones filled with luscious marrow... it's almost
a pity to feed it to a weretiger who'll gulp it down in chunks where
humans would actually _chew_ their food and enjoy each mouthful :)


And, Griffyn, greetings from Quinn. She made me a small wager you'd
speak to me before her, and said if I won I had to call you "a ginger
furball" and remind you to drop by Glamis sometime soon.

Good to hear from you, Griff. I tend to take my friends for
granted.]<<<<<

I'm sure it'll get duly reported in Dangerous People Quarterly and all the

heard of "multiple orgasms", or haven't you been in company that could
manage that little trick?

I do not feel that a single innocent statement would be included in the

I am no decker, so you'll excuse me if I make no claims to ice breaking.
Also I have no real desire to visit what I assume is a pornographic

not a building I would advertise if I were you, it is quite trashy. If
you really want to enjoy yourself, try The Palace of the Lotus in

A remote detonator is brought into camera view, aerial extended, and

A massive explosion rips through the small bar, flames and thick smoke
rolls towards the sky. People nearby dive to the ground, women start

We are prepared to offer a bounty of Y10,000 for her capture, or for
delivery of identifiable remains.

We also deplore totally the actions of the person known as "Thunda". It
appears he is in fact an Elf, probably as deranged as this "Easy",
attempting to pollute the reputation of a decent and law-abiding
policlub which seeks to change this nation by purely legal and
democratic means. No true Human would act in such a lunatic manner.

Nope, Thunda, it seems you're scared of me.

I guess Elven schoolchildren count as "dangerous opponents" for Humans
these days.

I guess setting off a bomb in a bar is a "high threat mission" for
someone like you and your kind.

I guess shooting unarmed schoolteachers qualifies as heroism for Human
warriors like you.


I'm waiting. I guess I'll wait a long time before a chickenshit coward
like you ever dares fight an Elf face-to-face, but then that's Human

You dare to challenge me Easy. You poor deluded slut.


Elven schoolchildren are not dangerous opponents, so don't think you'll

around the neck of civilisation. And destroying their pathitic slovenly
lives, was necessary.


And who shot the women, they weren't shot. Really Easy, you should do
your research before you indulge yourself. They were crucified, and
disemboweled as a message to all other mutie sympathisers.


You go ahead and wait if you think I'm gonna walk into a trap set up by
your buddies, so that you gcan claim your glory, you gotta think again.


I'm no coward, but then you'll figure that out for yourself one day, if
you live that long. Oh no Easy, you come get me, you show off your
vaunted elven tracking skills, stick your nose into the ground and sniff
me out like the dog you are.


I have a mission, and you will not interfere with that mission.


I will let you have a little souvenir though. At >>location<< you'll

recognise the bitch. Found her fucking another mutie, propogating the
species or whatever it is you creatures do. Well, she won't fuck
anything ever again, neither will the mutie with her.


Enjoy yourself. You might want to stuff what I stuck in her mouth, and
keep it for yourself. It should be just about your speed.


Oh, yeah, one other thing. If you can get there in time, you'll find
another device planted in the Meeting Hall off've Christobela's Wayward
