Jade slowly opened her eyes and looked at the clock.
"Ow," she groaned, while her hand started patting her nightstand until she found the bottle with tylenols.  She swallowed two and only then did she get up.  While the tylenols started working she took a shower and things started looking up.  At least the pounding in her head started to diminish.  Getting out into the comunal area she noticed not only the beer bottles, but also that she was the first one up.  Probably the Troll touchness, she thought as she got the coffee machine going.
"You can say what you want about Tir na Nog," she said when she heard foot steps behind her, "but they do know how to make beer.  That Guiness stuff was very good, but you do feel it, don't you."

Matt awoke hungry and hungover.
The room swam as he stumbled to the bathroom to relieve his full bladder of the previous night's excesses.
Looking at himself in the dull light of the mirror's energy efficient bulbs, he slapped some water over his face and brushed the taste of stale beer out of his mouth. He looked at the grey in his beard, once a mere accent shade, it was now the defining colour. You're getting too old for this shit Hunter..
A quick run through of the three S's brought him back to feeling somewhere near human and he slipped on some disposable clothes and headed downstairs.
He could hear Miko banging about in the communal area as he descended.
Tell me about it! Hanging out my arse today. Fancy some breakfast?

[farothel]

"If you get the soy dispenser to work, I'll have the coffee ready in about five minutes, Jade said with a smile.

[Csjarrat]

I'm on it! The others surfaced yet?
Matt heads through to the kitchen, clicking the soy dispensor into gear and rummaging around in the fridge for something good to eat.
We heard anything from Tweety or Sam yet?

[farothel]

"I'll probably hear from Sam tonight, but I haven't seen or heard from anybody but you."

[Csjarrat]

Everyone's probably hanging out their arses today. I feel pretty rough.
Gonna have a mess around in the garage this afternoon though, see if I can get any more juice out of the car. You're pretty handy on two wheels by the way, where'd you learn to ride that hard?
He punched in a request for a couple of bagels, re-filling the flavouring cannisters to appease flashing red LED.

Matt grabs his comm while the soyprocessor chugs and churns away;
<<Danny Boy:://Morning bud, hows it going? Finished our first job for Tweety yesterday and got a couple ideas for tweaks on the car. You have anything I can rig up as an oil sprayer? I want to be able to give people 'the slip' hehe//

[farothel]

"I've always liked driving a motorbike," she said, "it's easier to get through traffic.  Although it's the first time I've driven like that.  Mostly I try not to attract too much attention.  Say, I have a question for you.  Just a moment."
She dissapeared back into her room and came out with an outfit, a nice black leather jacket with matching leather pants which, should she wear it, would sit quite tight.
"Do you think this will work for my date with Sam tonight?"

[Ren]

—Matt—
The reply from Danny came quickly. >>Back to real biz, I can see. I have a few canisters that can hold, for example oil, and some tubing. I can send someone with the parts later today, tell me where you want to take it over, and hand my boy 220 when you checked the ware.<<

—all—
You heard a door open and someone yawn loudly, and in a few seconds, Leroy entered the kitchen. With a murmured ”Mornin” he shuffled to the coffee machine and pushed a few buttons, and immediately took a few sips from the steaming hot liquid it produced into the cup. Looking around, he noticed what Miko was holding in her hands, and his eyes went wide, accompanied by a small whistle. ”Wow, that size ain’t my cup of tea but that looks real hot!”

[Csjarrat]

Yeah, looks good. It'll definitely grab his attention Matt said with a smile just as the door swung open.
Morning man, how you feelin?

//Heh, yeah! It went pretty well I think, no doubt tweety's got a few more in store for us now.
Cheers, that sounds good. I think I'll need a small electric pump too, maybe a screen washer pump or something similar and a wireless receiver. Don't worry about sending one of the lads over mate, I'll pick it up and save you the bother. What time's best?//

[farothel]

"Getting his attention is the general idea of the exercise," Jade said, "I hope I don't have to have 'the talk' with you."
She grinned before dissapearing back in her room to put the clothes away.  A minute later, she was back to get some more coffee, taking another couple of tylenols with the cup.  That would clear out the remains of the headache quickly.

[Ren]

--Matt--
>>Appreciate the offer, chummer, but remember, it still isn't the best of ideas to show your mug around here. Just gimme the coordinates and we'll make the drop.<<

[Csjarrat]

Shit, yeah. better not. I keep forgetting. this new face, this new life. it suddenly all feels so normal. Here's the drop off co-ords: >>Co-ordinates attached<<. Ping me when they're on the way and I'll let em in the gates. You up for a beer round here this weekend?

Matt grinned back at Miko
Ha, no, I think i'm fine with the awkward talk my mum gave me as a kid. Jesus, that was traumatising enough haha. I'm gonna head down to the garage in a bit, got some parts coming in later so don't be alarmed if you see some unknowns roaming around out back. They're Danny boy's lads, should be safe enough.

[farothel]

"I'll stay here and do some workout," Sammy said, "to clear my head a bit."
She went to the gym gear she had installed and started her usual exercise regimen.

[Ren]

—Matt—
>>Kay, lad will ping you. The beer sounds good as well, just let me know it’s you under that new face you mentioned.<<

—all—
The day went on just perfectly. The parts arrived in an hour and a half, and the rest of the day was more than enough to finish the installing. In the next few days, everything settled back into an easier rhythm, with exercise, work in the garage, and meditation within the stone circle.
Until Friday.

—Miko—
It was Friday, early afternoon when your commlink chirped with a new message. It was from Sam. >>Hey, girl, how’s your day? Hope you are ready for some serious party. Will be there at 9 to pick you up. Can’t wait. <<

[farothel]

Jade sent Sam an okay and about two hours before the pick-up, she started the preparations.  Her life before she started in the shadows had given her ample experience on how to prepare for a date and she was ready with five minutes to spare.  She was dressed in tight black leather pants, a dark red shirt and matching leather jacket (this had also some red accents).  Not too much make-up, just a touch left and right to enhance her natural beauty (for a troll, that is).
"I'm off," she said to the others when the doorbell went, "don't wait up for me."

Outside she saw Sam.
"Ready to party?"
