::Harley was not a happy little girl by any means. The meeting had been a waste of time as the Johnson decided to change location. Apparently Pullayup didn't agree with the suit so there she was...at a park...in the middle of the day...with norms all around her. She kept her head down, just sitting on the edge of the fountain...trying to ignore the stares...the scents...the feel of the crow around her.
She could smell them...could sense them...and it took every inch of her to just retain some form of zen. Her hood was down, the tipped ears making most mistake her for an elf. But then they'd notice the odd skin patterns as small stripes of crimson red shot across the darkened skin...like a zebra gone bad. Then there was the matter of her tail itself...the thick appendage right now lying against her hip, though the tip liked to dip itself down in the water now and then. She could even hear the whispers now and then when a civvie muttered to her friend....freak...mutie...and all the other things under the sun from those who could not understand something.
Humanity....xenophobic of change. It wasn't as if she had asked the gods to make her life anymore complicated then it already had been. It use to be her only worry had been securing a contract with a dance studio without jealousy or discrimination for being an adept. Now, she had to worry about inciting a mob and making sure no one found her new home in case the more 'intolerant' factions of humanity came a callin'. She glanced to her watch one more time as she waited for the Johnson to show::

The people passed by - places to go things to do - corp soouts an wage slaves taking a little time to feast their eyes on the free greenery.. two star coppers were making life difficult When the sign sez keep off the grass - it mean it dont want some snot crushin it into t'ground - so get up get off or get my boot..!
Crap.. flamin park patrol - keepin it nice for the citz.. movin out the trash - Harley knew she would be targetted soon - she wasnt exactly dressed so nice - the recent weeks in crappy lodgings kept her just about clean. She readied her excuses..
Harly at the fountain... Harley at the fountain...! What the.. a fraggin rikshaw driver with one passenger in a soouit.. great way to blow cover just announce it why dont'cha
One of the two punx quickly looked over at the 'shaw jumped to her feet and grinned at her companion.. she was quick too.. I'm Harlee whats the noise my man?
The occupant looked the fem up and down and shook his head - shooing the fem away - then exited the ride and walked over to the bench and took a seat alongside
He clocked the thick furry appendage twitching as you pressed it close to your side Harley I presume - If you have the tail - I have a contract.
Once you have confirmed yourself he hands you two packs - one is a sealed plas envelope containing a couple of lumpy objects - chips? and a promo foto of you from one of the vaudeville dancer fotos with you lookin 'cute' from a million years ago. You just had to change you biz details..
if you could please confirm your voice ID - Packages delivered to one Harley as description and location fits.. Thank you mizz. You ought to follow the instructions contained within, I believe.
the soout gets up to leave
Hey where you goin - That it?
Yes mizz - I am merely an intermediary - requested to deliver a package to you. As you have now completed the transaction I must be about other business.
shocked - but in receipt of details - you open the envelope containing three chips, retreive them then sliding your foto into the envelope you think it best to stroll before the star moves you on...

Harley frowned, her clothing not really ratty...but definitely not the norm that most would expect from someone living on the other side of the tracks. The baggy Neo Chinese style of her clothes helped hide most of her form and skin. It also reminded her a lot of her Tai Chi Chu'an classes before she had to take an indefinite leave from them.
She drummed her fingers against the terminal, trying to decide but ultimately going with the feeling that she wasn't going to find anything better right now. She calls eventually, leaving her contact info once more but also her only requirement...
"...if they give me drek about what I am....I walk. That's it...that's my only restriction."
And then....she waits.

We xpect you this evening 8.30 Seattle South East Industrial compound. Ask the duty guard at the complex entrance to give us a call and transport will be provided. Tell him you are expected at commute. You have a half hour window until 9 after which they will not tolerate unauthorised presence. No obvious illegals either please.
Thank you
a fraggin industrial compound - security duty.. what am I - the fraggin Star?
Harley got over the impulse to tell the woman to shove it. 830 to 9 - and if it diddnt work out then there was always the next call from her fixer for more low paid drekk

::Harley just sighed, moving to her bike and heading out for the meet....if it turned out to be a waste of her time...she would just leave::
