Subject: Rug rat anyone?
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1993 23:37:29 -0400
>>>>>[Does anybody out there know a rug rat by the name of Little Dragon?
He's
a mutant, about 12 or 13, and a real pain in the ass?]<<<<<
Nephredana(23:40:29/08-30-54)

>>>>>[Sure I know him. I sent him off to Seattle to learn a little self
control from an old friend of mine, an avowed pacifist. Why, do you have
him?]<<<<<
Action Jackson(23:41:47/08-30-54)

>>>>>[Well, this little kid is too damn powerful for his own good. Now, I
am
a fighter of no small skill, and he broke a couple of bones. I've got half a
mind to dump him off the nearest bridge and leave him for the sharks. Any
reason I shouldn't?]<<<<<
Nephredana(23:43:25/08-30-54)

>>>>>[How about "You don't want to make me mad. You wouldn't like me
when I'm
mad?"]<<<<<
Action Jackson(23:44:14/08-30-54)

>>>>>[Give me a break, you whining little mortal. I'm a
vamp.]<<<<<
Nephredana(23:45:03/08-30-54)

>>>>>[Well, so am I, and you haven't seen me get mad. Can you picture a
vamp
with the anatomical and technical knowledge of a well trained surgeon and the
reactions and skills of a drek-hot street sam? I hope so, because if you don't
return Little Dragon to Valentine you will get a picture you won't live to
regret.]<<<<<
Action Jackson(23:47:23/08-30-54)

>>>>>[Yike. I am soooooo scared. Listen pal, I have seen more mana spikes
than you have years, and if I wanted to I could kill this little urchin with a
touch. So don't you even treaten me.]<<<<<
Nephredana(23:48:39/08-30-54)

>>>>>[Nephredana, Slide, and The Boy: these three individuals all have
prices
on their heads, bounties if you will, in excess of 5 million nuyen each,
payable by several crime syndicates and orginizations including the Yakuza,
Mafia, 3 Seolpa rings, the Tongs, and the Ancients.]<<<<<

smith(23:50:45/08-30-54)
>>>>>[All of which pay your bills, smith. And how is klien these days? Is
his
new arm doing well?]<<<<<
Slide(23:52:17/08-30-54)

>>>>>[Ya, how is klien? And hey, what can we say. The syndicates offer us
more
fun than the megacorps, who are just too damn boring for our
amusement.]<<<<<
The Boy(23:53:21/08-30-54)

>>>>>All three of us have a score to settle with you guys. And Nephredana;
watch the 1980's lingo. Your age is showing.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Geez, boyo. Braggin' again A.J. Just can't keep yuir mouth shut
twixt
hummingbird wingbeats, can ya? Gotta always be puttin' the word out on
yuirself. Canna' anyone else do it for ya? If ya nae pluggin' your
vampiness, yuir singin' yuir own praises on the op-table. I hear 'Raku is
doing geothermal power generation experiments again. You up for it? They
could always use a good source of hot air.

Now, Nephie, don't take this as an offer of some sort of asylum, ya'hear? I
mean, I ain't got anyt'in' against you, proper, but I deal in mundo goods, and
you vamps got, um, extravagant tastes, shall we say. Speakin' of such; seems
as if it's wall-to-wall with bloodsuckers over there. Hope you guys like
Jesuits. Got any mundos at all, or did ya team up and eat 'em all?]<<<<<
