Subject: That night at Club Penumbra...
Date: Sun, 19 Mar 1995 02:55:31 -0600
+++++Trideo Feed: Channel 3

The trid feed slides from a commercial for the new Eurocar Westwind 2000 to
the sight of a moonscape with lasers flashing over every inch fades into view...

"Hoi, everyone! This is Star Browning live from Club Penumbra, the hottest
club in Seattle!" The platinum blonde elf bounces in between two hulking
humans intent on viewing the wares of her strapless outfit. "And once
again, welcome to 3 at 3! Here we play only the hottest of today's hits and
interview some of the patrons. In fact here's a lovely couple right now..."

"I swear I didn't chea...who the hell are you?" An Asiatic elf glares up at
Star. His companion, a raven-haired human female glowers at the distraction
almost as venomously as she regards her boyfriend.

"Don't try to use this to get off of this one, chummer! You were gone for 2
months! Is this her? Is it?! You damn well better have some answers,
Gato..." The girlfriend is obviously not pleased about something...

"Excuse me, but we're with Channel 3's '3 at 3' show. You know, the one
where we show all the hits and dancers and..."

"Honey, please! This isn't her..."

"Ohhh, so there WAS another girl!"

"I didn't mean it like that! Oh drek..."

"Sir! Please, we'd like to interview..."

"Bugger off!!" For once the couple seems in complete agreement...

"Well! I guess they don't want to be interviewed...let's go to the dance
floor for a new one by Slip-Shadow Sara..."

>>>>>[Well, Gato? What do you think of that, hmm? I can't hear you...
Hmmph, that's what I thought! Talk it up big to your chummers but cower
when it comes down to it. And we never did get this vacation thing of yours
all settled, if it weren't for that bouncer throwing me out...Ah well, we
WILL finish this. Tonight!]<<<<<

>>>>>[My jaw's still kinda sore from that right you planted on it.
Talking's not really my strong suit now. Besides, I have some biz going
that needs to be taken care of. I _promise_ to tell you all about Tir, but
it's just going to have to wait a day or two. My time in the Taingire was
anything but friendly, believe me. They don't take too kindly to samurai
trying to sneak fake ID's through customs. Thoughts of what happened there
still haunt my dreams. So please understand, ok? If you can just wait a
little bit, say three days or so, I'll take you out to Icarus Descending and
get a nice quiet booth and tell you ALL about it. Til then...love ya,
honey!]<<<<<

>>>>>[Sheesh, you're telling me. But she's a great girl. And I guess I
woulda been mad too if she'd disappeared in Tir Taingire for two months.
It's just going to take a while to cool her down. If you ever meet her and
see her eyes narrow in this certain little way (you'll know it if you see
it) watch out for the right. I'm going to be mumbling for a day or
so]<<<<<
