>>>>>[Ok, this is what I've pieced together. At about 1:30 am about 8
people
circle the house and something breaks through the house magical barrier. Then
it breaks through the one Bliss had put up. This all took about 3 minutes.
Then the front door blows in and they all rush in and move straight to my
room. My bodyguard tries to stop them and they literally crush him. Then it
got really wierd. Bliss says a spirit began to manifestbut only it's hand did
and it was big. Very big. Then it began to write something on my door with
its claw. It's not japanese or at least modern japanese because I can't read
it. Anyway, after about half an hour of rummaging through my room they leave.
There seems to have been something else that happened but she's stopped
talking. This is seriously starting to scare the drek out of me. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ So Cerise did you enjoy last night ? I hope that perfume is your
type
the lady in the shop assured me that it had proven most popular with jet-set
elves in Paris. I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up any art, customs problems
and stuff. Seems the French are quite keen to keep works of art in their
country unless you have big time cash. So how about another date this weekend,
I'm kinda busy with something Punisher and IBA are working on right now or
else I would offer sooner.

Nightstalker expect a call at some point tommorow, I could do with the cash,
especially after our little run in with IBA and Punisher's trouble but I'll
let Spice tell you all about that. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Cerise, you judge too quickly my dear. Just becasue I am not
familar
with your term grade does not mean I am un-initiated. I spoke to a member of
Monsieur Powerhouse's group earlier today and he informs me that I am Grade 0.
In France at the univeristy we refered to levels of learning but no particular
magical ability seemed to be keyed in with anyone particular level. The
main difference being that as a mage progresess in his levels of learning then
it becomes easier for him to practice certain of his meta-magical skills. As
I said I had only just learnt them then you should have been able to surmise
my skill. But enough, I am new in Seattle, indeed new in the UCAS and it is
not my place to begin lambasting the proffesional pride of established runners
in this fair city.

Know as to Monsieur Powerhouse's request to tell you what happned. Well it
was nothing really. Monsieur IBA was hunched over a cyberterminal when I met
him, with Monsieur Punisher keeping close watch on a screen that extended from
the back of the deck showing IBA's position in the matrix. IBA was busy it
seemed hunting down information it seemed when.... Wait I'll have to come back
it looks like the trouble that encountered us there has returned. In greater
force. ]<<<<<

*****Include video reference

You see a nice upper class Italian restaraunt seated in the centre of the
room are the figure most of you recognise as Fenris, SpotOn, Highlander
and Princess, they seem to be enjoying their dessert. Suddenly the ork
you know as Fenris taps on his glass and the others spin around, he holds
up a glass of champagne handed to him by the group's waiter a troll, who
in turn pours each of them a glass, then stands behind Fenris.

As the ork pronounces the words 'to the Faerie, may he cause as much
trouble up there as he has caused us', the sentiment is echoed by the
others and as Fenris begins to sip his glass all hell brakes loose. The
waiter lunges forward and a piece of metal, a spur, emerges out of Fenris
chest as blood runs out from his mouth, the first to react is the female
SpotOn, who, without hesitating engages the troll as he pulls the spur
out. The other patrons start screaming and running, Highlander dives out
of the picture, Princess remains stunned...

Just as the troll gets an advantage over SpotOn the form of an elf
(Regent) appears in the room leaping at the troll from the blindside,
and stunning it. Princess can now be seen dragging Fenris away, although
she does not seem to be getting far. Once again the troll gains the
advantage by throwing off Regent, it then leaps straight for SpotOn. But
it never gets there, a bullet rips into it's arm, although it seems only
a flesh wound, the camera pans slightly and the Highlander is seen taking
aim once more. Then Troll moves towards Fenris, but as the shot rings out
changes direction towards the door, sending the shot meant for it's head
slamming into a wall instead, SpotOn starts to give chase, and the Highlander
runs after her.

The scene closes as Princess and Regent drag Fenris away. ]<<<<<

with firearms.]<<<<<

someone wearing a coat full of junk? Cerise, SpotOn, you know what

How's Fenris, by the way?]<<<<<

*****Private: Not To SpotOn
>>>>>[It's Vanessa I'm more worried about. You didn't see her after we
left the restaurant; it was like she was an entirely different person.
I've seen people enraged before, or grieving, or stricken. SpotOn was.....
almost inyhuman. She made me leave after I drove her someplace, and when
I objected, she just looked at me like I was barely there, and told me
to leave again. She didn't threaten me, I just got the impression that
I should leave, right bloody then, rather than push the issue.

I guess I got to see SpotOn at work. I think I like her better when
she's at her leisure.]<<<<<

mode,
that's all. That's how she was went Raven and I came in on her with that
Ganz contact inside of the Arcology. Just stay out of her way and you'll be
fine. It seems to work well for her. ]<<<<<
