>>>>>[ Well I suppose it's time to start earning some cash again.
Nightstalker
I heard you have the money from the Highlander thing I'll pick it up later if
that's ok. I'd give you my account details but last time I did that I had
every decker on the net trying to bleed me dry.

Paris was great, Cerise your company was sorely missed, but I did pick you
something up. Can we meet tonight ? That is if you're not too busy with the
Scottie (sniff). Nah, just kidding if you want to go out with Highlander then
thats fine by me but surely he doesn't get sole claim on the best looking girl
in Seattle ?

Oh I nearly forgot to mention. While in Paris I got talking to the son of the
joint I was staying in, The Hotel Magik. Anyway he's a bit of a dab hand
himself with the 'ol spells and when he mentioned that he was looking for more
fun and excitement than he was getting I gave him the chance to come and see
what shadowrunning is like. Well he was keen, maybe overkeen, we'll just have
to see how he stands up in the shadows. Ah... here he is, he's just finished
cooking, inisits on doing all of it himself. I can tell you he's quite a
cook maybe he has a cooking spell. Is there such a thing ? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Ah ha, a Renraku model X500, not a bad little terminal you ave' 'ere
Monsieur Thatcher. Ah... but what is this you call yourself 'The Powerhouse',
is this some type of 'andle n'est pas ? ]<<<<<
-Dominique Al'Vere (12:53:57/8.23.54)

>>>>>[ Hmm, yeah ... Look I'd appreciate it if you didn't use my name on
here,
you never know who may be listening in. Come to that you'll have to get a
'handle' as you called it. On the streets it's known as your streetname. How
about Cookie ? You are a good cook after all. ]<<<<<
-The Powerhouse (12:56:57/23.8.54)

>>>>>[ Hmm Cookie, an English word for the Chef or an American word for a
chocolate biscuit. I'm not sure I want to be associated with chocolate biscuits
Monsieur Powerhouse. How about Spice because Spice is the secret to good
cooking ? ]<<<<<<
-Spice (Yes I like it)

>>>>>[ Hey how did you do that ? I don't even know how to fiddle my
time/date
stamp and I've been running for years. ]<<<<<
-The Powerhouse (1:00:58/23.8.54)

>>>>>[ Ah, it was a simple thing. I noticed that you had some utilities
on your terminal written I see by Monsieur I.B.A. I simply changed some
sections of code and ran his program, a simple matter. ]<<<<<
-Spice (I must check the other utilities)

>>>>>[ So does that mean you can deck as well as through mana balls ?
]<<<<<
-The Powerhouse (13:05:55/23.8.54)

>>>>>[ Why yes. At Univeristy I received training in both magical theory
and
in computer theory. I do not however posses a datajack. The thought of
invading the flesh with anything not natural is repugnant to me. ]<<<<<
-Spice (What happens if I press this key ....)

>>>>>[ Why not IBA is into all sorts of fetishes like that :)
]<<<<<
-The Powerhouse (13:10:24/23.8.54)

>>>>>[ I heard that, scum breath. Just cause you can't get anywhere with
Cerise is no need to vent your sexual frustration on me. By the way how were
the Paris whores ? ]<<<<<
-I.B.A. (**:**:**/**.**.**)

>>>>>[ You should know better IBA, I was merely having a jest, a joke, no
more.
Grin. So what do you think to our new edition ? ]<<<<<
-The Powerhouse (13:13:35/23.8.54)

>>>>>[ Hmmm... bring him over to Punisher's place and we'll decide there.
Is
he an initiate ? Bring your gear with you as well cause we're expecting
trouble. Have you got any gear for this Spice character ? ]<<<<<
-I.B.A. (**:**:**/**.**.**)

>>>>>[ I've a spare armour jacket and a sawn off shotgun. He should be ok
with those. And yes, I believe he is an initiate though he won't talk much
about grades etc. ]<<<<<
-The Powerhouse (13:16:55/23.8.54)

>>>>>[ He, he. Fun at last 'eh Powerhouse. But you needn't worry about a
gun, on the streets of Paris you do learn how to fire a gun. My grade is
unknown to me. All I know is that I studied hard trying to learn the meta
magical skills taught to us at the univeristy. Then one day I was capable of
them. Indeed it was only 6 months ago that I became capable so I suspect that
if I do have a grade that it is a low one. ]<<<<<
