Kirk floated me after we got back from Indonesia. Though, she didn't seem
to take it too well when I muttered something like, "Well if I knew you
were paying this you just might have had a boy-toy." I did it to get a
laugh out of Thirstein which is worth something, but well, like I said,
she didn't think it was too funny. Maybe this shadowrunning thing isn't so
bad after all.

Astral support sounds cool. So, what's B&E? I mean, like if we get
caught, how long would they toss us in the can? I don't think I'd like
prison that much...but if that's not in the picture then, hey, no
problemo.

You've introduced me to Ronin. Seems a bit of a hard-ass, but I guess he
has his reasons. The Marlowe guy, I don't know from Adam, but if you say
he's cool then he's cool. I can't say that there's a people-problem on
this one.

Hmmmm. About the enchanting stuff, I mean, it was required for the
program and I've done some study of my own, so I know a high-grade
power-focus from a crooked stick, and I have dabbled with radicals and
such, but that isn't exactly my forte...on the other hand, there is this
person I know. Well, more like I know and work for (got to pay the rent
somehow). Her name's Tass, and she's an enchanting adept, I help her run
her shop. She's really good at that sort of thing, but she's a bit of a
tightwad. Only lets me get away with wholesale, and I freaking _work_ for
her!?! She has me doing consulting and stuff, and then turns around and
treats me like her stockboy. Say's she's too old to do that bending and
lifting sort of stuff. But if I introduce you, don't make any stupid
comments about the fact she's old enough to be my mom, she hates that. And
don't you dare mention anything about shadowrunning. I think she has
something against shadowrunners in general, but somehow I've never got
around to asking her about it. As for the fee, I wouldn't mind a finder's
fee for putting you together or for my college notes, but knowing her,
she'll drain you broke so I won't ask.]<<<<<
