Date: 1-20-03 PC's: Esmeralda, Tabitha, Ryumyo, Nina Reynolds Location: Deep Six -------------------- You step through one of the hatches and enter Deep Six. Deep Six This room is seven meters across, and thirty meters long. The metal walls curve out and up, sweating constantly. Dirty water lies below the metal grid flooring. Lush electronic music fills the air, reverberating off the metal walls. High above the crowd, near the metal ceiling, a hologram of the surface of the ocean undulates, waves rolling from the front to the back of the chamber, and the lighting that illuminates the dark chamber has been manipulated in such a way to make it appear that the entire chamber is submerged in water. Dull steel furnishings clutter the back of the chamber, leaving the handful of meters before the stage at the front clear for dancing. The room looks like it was never quite finished, heavy pieces of machinery left here and there, thick chains dangling down from the ceiling, the black snakes of power lines coiling over the floors, and other details give the place a rough hewn quality. Contents: Tabitha Ryumyo Esmeralda Obvious exits: Topside Tabitha sniffs up, still all the same, up into Esmeralda's armpit, pushing her nose in and then resting her face there. She lets out a little purr, and her hands start idly pulling on Esmeralda's clothing, then releasing, pulling and releasing. Esmeralda wrinkles her nose as Tabitha sniffs her armpit, then giggles and squirms a bit. She shakes her head, then eeks, "Hey hey, what are you doing Tabitha?" She tries to keep her clothes from stretching out too much or, heavens, ripping. Ryumyo looks up to Esmeralda with a questing look. "Ummmm. Yeah, nothing like her that's for sure. Not anything like her at all." he says. Ryu sits at the bar next to Esmeralda and Tabitha. He holds on very light conversation with the two. However now he's wondering if that was a wise idea. Tabitha is breathing deeply, in and out, probably just smelling and sniffing. Only Esmeralda could be sure, and soon enough her hands calm down a bit and Tabitha finds her place on Esmeralda's lap quite comfy. Then the cat lady's eyes close and she purrs lightly, lingering a little with the sounds, like one breathing deeply in preparation for sleep. Nina Reynolds enters into Deep Six, her armored trenchcoat held tight around her and her gaze moving about as if she's a touch on edge. Be it a reaction to the lastest street drug in her system or a cautious display of paranoia it is unsure at the moment. She moves with hands in pockets between the tables as she makes her way towards the bar, quirkin up a brow just a touch at th armpit snifing. Esmeralda nods at Ryu, eyes widened now, "Oh, I agree, oh yes." She giggles lightly as she continues to pet Tabitha's head, "But, she bit my, ehm, ex boyfriend, so I say that's a good thing, eh?" She grins a touch, then shakes her head, "So, may I see the list, Ryu?" Nina Reynolds moves up to the steel bar and slips up onto a stool with a sigh as she pulls her hands out of her pockets and orders up, "Beer please... long neck if you got it," and then she starts looking around more, trying hard not to stare at the 'sniffer', missing Ryu in the process because she's trying not to look in that direction. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spell Category Focus (Force 5 - Illusion) Naval Piercing This is a simple naval piercing made of silver. It appears that its surface has been treated with a holographic coating because it shifts and swirls slightly as if the metal contains a fluid watery substance within. Improved Invisibilty Fetish Toe Ring This is a simple silver band designed to be worn on a persons toe. Etchings scetch across its surface in a simple and basic pattern, like a continuous wave around its circumfrence. Silence Fetish Ring This is a simple silver/pewter ring without a lot of value looking to it. It looks like perhaps a ring that can be picked up from a renfest for under twenty nuyen. Physical Mask Fetish Wooden Bead Necklace This is a simple and plain looking wooden necklace made of 1/2 cenemeter small wooden beads that are green, brown and dark blue, alternating around its length. Trid Phantasm Fetish Wire Frame Glasses These are simple wire frame glasses with what appears to be a very very weak perscription. They're probably meant mostly for reading. A lightweight alloy wire frame and nothing that fancy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nina Reynolds adjusts the thin wire frame glasses on her nose and then her hand moves to the simple wooden bead necklace around her throat for a moment, as if adjusting it to the clasp behind her neck will move, due to an irritation of it rubbing her most likely. Tabitha continues to keep her eyes closed, her breathing getting more deep and slow. Her purring softer and lighter as she continues to get pet. Her ears have even stopped twitching about, perhaps a sign she isn't quite conscious anymore? Ryumyo's eyes are a bright neon blue glow tha covers his pupils from view. He sits at the bar looking like he doesn't have a care in the world, right at home it seems. He holds a glass of a dark brown fizzy coke looking drink. Looking to Esmeralda he can't help but smile "Not a bad woman to have around it would seem. How about I mail it to you? The notes in my pocsec are just me righting down what comes to my mind, at the end of the night I try to put them all together. By the way I hope you don't mind if I write about you a little bit in it, no names of course, I'm sure you don't trust me that much. But while I have the time I throught I would ask." he says in a rather long drawn out way. Esmeralda rubs at her chin, then pokes Tabitha as her food arrives, "Hey...food is here...fooooood?" She looks back up to Ryumyo and chuckles, nodding at that, "Nope not at all. Mmm, and yes, if you want to mail it that is fine." She blinks at the roundabout questioning, then shrugs, "If you would like to write about me, I do not mind, especially if it helps you remember.." Nina Reynolds's ear is caught by Ryumyo's voice, a voice from the past.. and her head turns slowly to look in his direction. Unable to see his face just yet she gets distracted as her beer is delivered and she pays for it, "Thanks." she offers the tender while paying and then wipes the top with her hand to clean it and puts the bottle to her lips for a long draw and then a cautious beltch under her free hand, an old cheap looking pewter ring upon the hand used to cover her beltch. Curiosity still perked she leans just a tad forward and asks in a quizical tone to the man there, "Ryu?" Tabitha only lightly twitches, one of her furry ears turning side to side semi-quickly, though otherwise she remains undisturbed. Ryumyo smiles as Esmeralda says it's 'OK' "Yes, it will. And thanks for understanding, alot of people find it funny to point out over and over again that I'm a mage that..." he stops talking as his name is called out by a woman. Looking in that direction his eyes quickly fade from the glow to there normal blue pupils. He looks from face to face that could have said his name even right at Nina, but none of them ring a bell. Shaking his head as if hearing things over the noise of the room he goes on talking back with Esmeralda "I'm sorry, umm what was I saying? Oh yeah, some people find it funny to point out that I'm a hermetic that can't remember things. They don't understand somethings are part of you, you can't forget them." Esmeralda shakes her head and just pets Tabitha, oddly accepting that there is a cat-woman in her lap, asleep. She nods at Ryu, then shrugs a bit, blinking as he trails off. She darts eyes over to Nina and blinks, then looks back at Ryu, arching her brow at the mage's horrid memory. She hmmms, "Ehm, Ryu.." She nudges her head to Nina. Nina Reynolds makes direct eye contact with Ryumyo when he looks at her and her face shows that "Hey.. it's me" sort of a look and then he looks away and continues his conversation. Nina looks a bit confused, probably debating about the chance that he has an identical twin.. or someone is screwing with her with a trid-phantasm.. thus she closes her eyes a moment and reopens them, looking over his astral signiture, checking for glowing fetishes or other signs of illusionary spells. Ryumyo looks to Esmeralda and then across the bar again to Nina. This time he smiles right when he sees her. "Hey!" he says well load enough for Nina, or anyone else that he /should/ be looking at can hear. "I haven't seen you in..well come over here so we can talk." he says as he stands from his stool steeping away from it leaving a free seat at the bar. Nina Reynolds offers a wide grin as she picks up her beer and moves 1 stool closer, sitting right beside Ryumyo now, "I'm real sorry about dropping out of sight for so long like I did. I hope our arrangements could be discussed further without any hard feelings." she offers a hand to him as if to shake.. an act of asking for forgiveness. Ryumyo smiles larger than life as he looks Nina. "Hey, don't worry about it." he says quickly taking ahold of the hand and shaking it. "I would be glad to go on with any talks we where having. I understand people have to go away at times. Is everything ok?" he ask while he still stands next to his stool not taking his eyes on Nina. Ryumyo pages: (astral)Ryu's aura (if you can tell, your call) gives off slight signs that he has no idea what he's doing or who he's talking to. But man he's not bad at keeping it under raps, it's like he yells at random people all the time like he knows them. However, it's hard to hide the 'wonder' that is being given off of the man. It could be "wonder who I'm talking to" or "I wonder how they have been." Nina Reynolds doens't pull her hand away, but seems very content in being in the presence of this man, like long lost friends, "I'm doing very well, thank you. Things worked out for the best and its taken care of now. We can talk later though about our agreements.. you still have my email right?" Ryumyo for the first time seems to think about sitting down next to the woman on his stool as he seems to relax a little bit. "Ummm. I don't know, I'm sure I do. Let me look real fast." he says as he reaches into his jacket and gets out his LCD pocsec. Turning it on he begins to push a few buttons on it and then soon after he begins pushing the same button over and over again. "So.." he says looking up for only a moment. "Your still wanting to go on our slight arrangement are you?" he ask as he goes on reading his pocsec. Also takes a small moment to look up away from the pocsec to Esmeralda with a slight laugh as he goes on pushing the same button over and over again. Esmeralda smirks slightly as she watches Ryu and shakes her head a bit. She hmmms and idly nibbles at the food she bought originally for Tabitha. Nina Reynolds nods to Ryumyo, her hand going down to her lap to rest there as she chats, glancing briefly to Esmerelda for a short smile to her, as if trying to be quick and not take Ryumyo away from any conversation he was having with her previously, "Aye.. if that would work well with you. I have yet to contact the others that were also interested," and then she tries to help him with his finding her address, "Was I... "she hesitates for effect and then very obviously says the next word as if a monkey would know its the only word that meant anything in her question, "MIST?", as in.. 'missed'. Esmeralda chuckles at the pair, then smiles at Nina. She clears her throat and stands, "I should be heading home soon, it is a bit of a trip. It was nice meeting you, Ryu, and I am sorry I couldnt stay, miss? I am esmeralda, sorry for the hello and goodbye." She grins and shrugs on her coat. Nina Reynolds nods to Esmeralda, "Pleased to meet you," she extends her hand after Esmeralda gets on her coat, "Nina.. Nina Reynolds." Ryumyo goes on hitting the button. "Oh no I'm sure you wheren't missed at all. I have you in here some place." he says "I need to organize this thing better. Maybe I'll try to do that tomorrow." Ryu clearly is off on some other task right now. He however stops and stands from his stool quickly as Esmerlda says she's going to leave. "Oh, hey. It was great to talk with you Esmeralda, and I am sure that we can talk again some time. And thank you." he adds at the end. With a large smile. Esmeralda accepts the hand and shakes it as firmly as she can, but being an elfy it's not very. She smiles at Nina, "Pleasure to meet you Nina. I shall see you again I hope, be well." She nods at Ryumyo and smiles broadly to him as well, "We will speak, yes? Do take care." Nina Reynolds says, "didn't pose it.. but should have.. after looking over Ryumyo I shifted my gaze back away from astral, into normal." Ryumyo goes on smiling as he keeps saying good bye. "Yes we will you can count on it. Watch your self on your way out ok. This is a darker side of town." Nina Reynolds adjusts the thin glasses on her face and then tucks a bit of hair back behind her ear as Ryu says fairwell to Esmeralda. Esmeralda leaves Deep Six through the main door. Ryumyo turns to take his seat once again next to Nina. With a smile to her he breaths in and says "Sorry about that." Looking back down to his pocsec he smiles after hitting a very short number of button "And here it is, I do still have your mailing addy." he says as he goes on reading whatever else might be on the screen. Nina Reynolds lowers down her voice and slips in more close to Ryumyo now that they're alone, "Sorry about being cryptic.. but the secrecy stricture we agreed to in the magical group seemed appropriate not to break before we even get it officially off the ground." she grins with a light poke to his leg with a finger. Ryumyo's eyes go wide as he goes on reading the LCD screen. Once you poke his leg he looks over to you shocked as can be at first and then he smiles quickly after clearly hiding his first emotion only. "Nina!" he says not being able to hold it in. "Oh yes yes yes, I understand." Looking around the bar quickly he ask "Would, umm, would you like to go have a seat else where? Get ahold of old times." he says keeping up the don't say anything about the group thing. Nina Reynolds nods to Ryu with a grin and picks up her bottle of beer and slips from her stool, "Lead the way kind sir, it's been a long time and we have much to finalize yet." Ryumyo nods back and smiles a true smile this time. As he stands he holds out a hand to the exit. "We can talk at that table, Jim will see to it that we are left alone." Jim /might/ be the Troll boucer at the door, or an imaginary friend of Ryu's who knows. Ryu does however wait to walk closely behind you, clearly out of I blend in a bit more here and people don't even seem to look at me the wrong way. He doesn't really keep an eye out on anyone, really does look like he's at home down here, however odd that is to who he is. Nina Reynolds moves with Ryumyo to the table by the exit and slips down onto her chair, resting her bottle of beer after a small sip to quench her throat. She lowers her voice again in obvious desire for secrecy, "I'm still looking for Scarecrow and Akito.. I'll try and find them soon. Your still the only full hermetic in the team, but that's not a problem with us if its not for you. The three of us are all aspected... Scarecrow air, Me water, and Akito.. well.. if I recall, I think he's an adept. hee." Ryumyo smiles as you jump right into work talk. "That's not a problem for me, I'm getting used to it." he begins and soon after leans in resting his elbows on the table. "Do you think we want or need any more shamans? After I lost contact with everyone I haven't been talking about our group idea at all, but only asking other two other shamans if they would just like to sit around some day and toss around idea's. Seeing how that's all I was really after with all of us here. Just to learn and teach what I can." At your table, Ryumyo says "...asking another two shamans... grrr" Nina Reynolds nods in agreement about tossing around ideas, "I don't see a problem with two more joining.. we would have a real wide diversity in the group.. which might water down some of the more motivated ideas, but would offer a real grounded and stable base for the group.. two shamans, one full hermetic, on adept and two aspected hermetics. Of course.. I'd like to meet these two shamans.. wouldn't want to agree to a couple sick sex playboys or something that would be torture to spend any time around." she chuckles lightly after her quiet words are shared. Ryumyo laoughs at the idea. "Oh I understand with out a doubt about wanting to talk with them. I don't really know anything about either of them tell you the truth. Only that they where ok with teaching and rather eager about learning. Well one of them was, the other, who you just met, I know even less. Esmeralda was her name, we just talked today. She seems to like to teach, I already learned alot about shamans from her just tonight." Nina Reynolds nods slowly as they chat quietly, "I've seen Esmeralda around a few times.. I think in the Tube Cafe at the Gateway Regency. She seems nice enough and caring.. something real genuine about her.. I like that. Who's this other shaman? That cat creature that was sleeping on her lap maybe? I didn't get a chance to check out their auras." Ryumyo shakes his head to it being the cat "No, it wasn't her. She was to..wild for me to really understand. She did say that she's been to the metaplans however." He thinks for a moment as he trys to come up with out to talk about the other shaman. "The other woman's name is..Junki. That's what she went by, her real name is Heidi. She's probley around 20 or so, dosn't know much about her gifts. She really wants to learn more. A good friend today told be that he heard she can hold her own, I think he's done some work with her or something. My only problem with her, is she might come with a little bit of...well..trouble." Nina Reynolds considers the information offered and inquries, "Trouble you say eh? You mean she's got legal entanglements? Or she's high maintence and takes a lot of effort to get along with?" Ryumyo him-ha's around a slight bit.."Well..neither really. Do you know a guy named Raul?" he ask. Nina Reynolds shakes her head, but doesn't speak.. though she leans forward a bit more to get closer, obviously intrigued. Ryumyo goes on "Well, I'm not for sure what the deal is betwen the two of them. But, Raul seems to think he owns her or something. I think he said 'Hi' to her when she first came to town and offered a place to stay until she could get back on her feet. Well Raul has got'en really upset with me over the last few days. I'm not for sure why, but I know that he's seen me just taking with Heidi, and people have been telling me that the way Heidi looks at me has been making Raul made. And that's about all I really know. No it doesn't sound like a long term problem, just a problem right now if she gains alot of new friends maybe." Nina Reynolds nods, "I see what you mean.. Raul might feel like his little love.. or his heart throb isn't needing him anymore. Like the feeling parents feel when the kids move away and grow up. If he's only upset at you right now.. if she gains five more close friends real fast.. Raul either has to decide to give up his problem.. or hate a bunch more people. Which direction you think he will choose?" Ryumyo doesn't say much as he shouldn't have too. "I worked with Raul a few days ago. On the job he worked on the job and I think he even might back down a slight bit after we work with one another. However, we didn't get that close. And when he..well he smashed some guys face in for no reason, over and over again. He doesn't look like the type to understand when he's over his head." Ryumyo says, "Ok, so I said alot..I was just going to say "He's a Troll."" Nina Reynolds's eyes widen, "Violence is an ugly ugly trait of mankind," she sighs, "At least we're considering Heidi and not this Raul guy." she hmms a bit more and then asks, "Perhaps I could meet Heidi eh?" Ryumyo nods at this idea. "I have a number that I can call her at. I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem. I'll just ask her to have a drink or something. Now for my concerns about the shaman idea's. I took a trip back home to talk with my old teacher at a school back in Tir about what we are trying to do. He told me that it's harder with the more 'different' kinds of magic we use. Do you know how true this is? Or did I misunderstand him?" Nina Reynolds nods slowly, "Your teacher is precisely right. I confirmed those rumors with someone from my parent corporation as well. The more varrying types of magic you put into the mix.. the harder it is to establish a unified link. It's like trying to put a whole box of crayons into coloring the same color on the paper. It's really hard to get them to mix and mesh well enough to form a good end product. But, as I said.. I'm unsure about Scarecrow and Akito and if they're still interested, or even if they're still in the city. I'm aspected.. so if Scarecrow isn't interested or around me being aspected and scarecrow being aspected doesn't change anything.. but if Akito isn't interested.. that drops the extra physical adept strain out of the mixture and would open up the two shaman's rather nicely. Either way we decide.. in the long run I think we will be sucessful. The trick is patience I believe.. in time.. we will learn to sync with each other.. but it just might take a while. Maybe a month. maybe two or three or more.. but given enough time, we're bound to sync with each other I think." (OOC: Read, just a matter of time before we make the ROLL for the link.. each month your Tn lowers I believe). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 From: Nina Reynolds At: Fri Aug 23 04:39:35 2002 (Conn) Fldr : 3 Status: Read Safe Subject: Magic Group --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Things are still under development.. but the following strictures are pretty much agreed upon between Nina and Scarecrow. Nina will be contacting Leon shortly Icly to relay these desires to him: Oath Material Link Exclusive Ritual Exclusive Membership Secrecy Attendence Just keeping all informed. -- Nina -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nina Reynolds says, "(6) Oath, Material Link, Exclusive Ritual, Exclusive Membership, Secrecy, Attendence" Nina Reynolds says, "with the 2 shamans and everyone mentioned already... 6 dice vs TN 10." Ryumyo says, "3 karma for any other dice we want to pay for." Nina Reynolds says, "if we fail.. we just wait 1 month and try again with the SAME tn?" Ryumyo says, "yes mam." Nina Reynolds says, "Not so terrible then. I have 12 karma right now. How much does it cost to join a group?" Nina Reynolds says, "3 to join.. and an additonal 3 if I want to add +1 dice to the roll?" Ryumyo says, "I also have 12, and I'll blow them all on this, I don't see why not for me." Nina Reynolds says, "yeah.. once I'm in the group.. then I just save up to get initated.. I'd like to be positive/quite sure we succeed in the link." Nina Reynolds says, "Scarecrow hasn't logged in since Dec 17th.. he might not even be joining.. though that doesn't help our TN's." Nina Reynolds says, "Akito is active.. I email'd him.. waiting for response." Nina Reynolds says, "Akito seemed really nice.. I'd hate not to have him in.. but he might have already started another group (unknown)" Nina Reynolds says, "Esmerelda online this time of night though (same as us) is a real hard OOC consideration though." Nina Reynolds says, "I'd hate to leave out the shamans and leave out someone with potential large amounts of RP with." Ryumyo says, "Yeah, that's one thing I like about Junki an Esmerelda..however that last few weeks I haven't seen Esmerelda, only RPed with her tonight. Junki is on until around 11pm or 12am for me, it's 4am right now where I'm at." Nina Reynolds says, "4:50 am here." Ryumyo says, "Do we have any customs? I don't recall." Nina Reynolds says, "No customs.. just Oath (I -name here- by bond of my word join.. blah blah), material Link (DNA, so we can ritual find you if you get kidnapped), Exclusive Ritual (We can only do ritual magic with other group members), Exclusive Membership (Can't join another magic group in addition to ours), Secrecy (Don't blabber about it to people), Attendence (Quarterly meetings, every 3 months)." Ryumyo says, "Cool..Yeah I think customs if we ever come up with any will just be things that our founding PC's have in common with one another. If we let someone else join later, they will have to take on our customs. Or something like that." Nina Reynolds says, "You want to add customs then? Perhaps at our meetings we all dress in monk type robes? and set up a hierarchy for meetings?" Nina Reynolds says, "OoooOoOOoo mysterious. :-)" You paged Scipio with 'Ryumyo an are RP'ing and OOC chatting about our magic group.. getting that off the ground again.. you'll probably see qmail's on it.'. You paged Scipio with 'Esmerelda, Junki, Scarecrow (if he's still active), Akito, Ryumyo, Nina Reynolds.'. Scipio pages: scarecrow retired Nina Reynolds says, "Scarecrow retired (just told by Scipio)." Nina Reynolds says, "Update... 12 Base Number +0 Aspected (base person) +2 Hermetic (Ryumyo) +2 Shaman (Esmerelda, Junki) +2 Adept (Akito) Nina Reynolds says, "5 members." Nina Reynolds says, "1 less dice with same Tn. :-(" Ryumyo says, "-6 for the strictures, puts us back at 12." From: Nina Reynolds Subject: RP group? To: Esmeralda, Junki, Akito, Ryumyo, Nina Reynolds --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those in the know, know. Those not in the know.. here ya go. (Hee, tried to ryhme). We're interested in starting a magic group. A lot of the foundation has already been laid down and those already contacted know much of this already. Here's just a general refresher for those Ryumyo has mentioned to Nina about wanting to also perhaps join.. of course IC Rp and meeting them will be needed. (Esmeralda and Junki) Oath - At time of joining a little (I -name here- do under the bonding of my word and honor swear to.... -figure out exact oath soon-). Material Link - (DNA sample, to ritual track you if you get kidnapped) Exclusive Ritual - Can only do ritual magic with our group. Exclusive Membership - Can't join any other magic group. Secrecy - Can't go blabbering about our group to people, special arrangements for recruiting must be followed. Attendence - A required meeting every 3 months.. admins insist we must all be online at the same time for this to happen, or our magic link will be severed. So, only 1 time in 3 months and we must log the meeting. Customs - At the required meeting, we all wear these nifty old dark brown monk robes and there are lots of candles, yada yada.. Chairman or the Meeting changes each meeting and the Chairman is in charge of the flow of the meeting, etc. Anyway.. for bonding the group the base TN is 12. 12 Base Number +0 Aspected (Nina, base person) +2 Hermetic (Ryumyo) +2 Shaman (Esmerelda, Junki) +2 Adept (Akito) -7 from strictures. TN: 11 5 members is base of 5 dice to use vs TN 11. You need 3 karma to join. Some of us are going to spend extra karma (3 karma adds +1 dice to our link roll) to help try and ensure our link. So we could theortically have far more than 5 dice. If we fail, we re-roll 1 month later. Questions, comments, ideas, concerns.. please email everyone listed above. Hugs and kisses.. WooHoo! -- Nina -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ryumyo leans back to think for awhile not really for sure on what to do. Leaning back forward over some time he goes on to say "Nina, I would just like to say thank you for getting ahold of me. I would like to tell you that this group really means alot to me. I'll put in everything that I have, and expect nothing back other than what I receive." As he speaks his smile only grows large, by the end of it there is so much pride on his face that to some it might make them sick. Nina Reynolds reaches out one of her hands to rest on Ryumyo's forearm on the table there, "Ryu.. in time I think we will be the best of friends.. I feel an honesty and a kindred ship with you. I have since we first met. I think our destiny lies in the creation of this magic group." A small, human-sized version of a Aestivalis appears in front of you, takes your message with a nod, and then flies away in a burst of engines. Ryumyo's face tilts to one side as he looks over your face from top to bottom. "Can I tell you something just incase it happens to me again, so we can maybe save..well save some time and my embarrassment in the future. It's a minor problem that I've come to deal with, that I think you should know about if we are going to try to follow the same path for awhile." His smile only fades a little bit as even telling something about himself like this isn't hurting him to much.. Nina Reynolds takes a sip of her beer (nearly gone now) and then puts it down and leans forward, her left hand still on Ryu's forearm, she's aparently a real affectionate type person and friendly, "Absolutely," and she leans in closer. Ryumyo goes on trying to not leave very much open in the air for thinking. "I have this memory problem, I have..well for a long time now. I've come up with a few ways around it." as he taks he pulls out his pocsec from inside his jacket for a moment. "So, what I'm getting at is, tomorrow if you see me and I act just like I did at the bar tonight.." he say looking down a slight bit at the table. "I'm sorry, just ask me if I have your mail addy, and tell me to look under Nina. It'll speed things up alot. But most of the time I'm just fine, and I'll know who you are right off the bat. I just got a bit freaked out at the bar a little bit ago. I didn't mean to seem rude." Nina Reynolds is rather good at taking the news and her eyes show a depth of honesty and friendship hardly matched by many in a world of shallow and greedy people, "I understand Ryu.. I won't be offended if it happens again and I'll do as you suggest. I have your phone number you gave me from a while back.. do you want me to email you with group updates and things as well? Would that help you in keeping things organized?" Ryumyo smiles and laughs a little bit as he sees this went alot better than it does most of the time. "Oh, I'm getting really good at getting notes down. I might be email you the minutes of the meetings, you never know." he says with a little bit of a laugh clearly ok with making joke of the deal. "So, well back to town Nina." he says with a large smile. Nina Reynolds nods, "Thank you.. its good to be back amongst friends. Can I see you again tomarrow perhaps? If you can contact a couple others in the group between now and then maybe we can work more of the details out. I'll try and contact Akito." Ryumyo ask "Did I give you a number to get ahold of me at? I'll try to get ahold of Junki and Esmeralda so we can sit down and talk with them at different times if you like to try that tomorrow." Nina Reynolds nods, "The number you gave me was 83778, that still correct?" Ryumyo thinks for a moment, never dialing his own number it's hard to recall.. "Yes, yes that's it. Give me a call if you need me.." stoping for a moment as he looks around the bar "And..we can go some place better next time for a talk, no? I am embarrassed about running into you down here. I know I look the roll most of the time, but it's all for show you know." Nina Reynolds nods as if understanding as she stands up, "Yes, a different atmosphere more conducive to conversation and health would be prefered," hee, she chuckles. "I must be going now.. see you tomarrow?" and she leans over to give him a kiss on the cheak. Ryumyo stands with you as he says "I'll walk you out. This is no place for a lady." And the two make their way to the with one another as the leave. Log-off
