Jezebel eyed the extremely handsome, trideo star, boldly taking his hand
and giving it a gentle squeeze. "It's a pleasure, 'Bastian," she replied.
Letting go of his hand and moving over to one of the plush chairs she
elegantly seated herself, her short skirt revealing her shapely thighs and
a view that was hard to resist. For a woman of her age, she didn't exactly
show it. "So, Terry or 'Bastian, would either of you be kind enough to
fetch me a Scotch, neat?"

[GM: The BBQ is good. There's just some more that we should do leading
into that. I'll keep it pasted in below and add to as we fill in the rest
if that's OK with everyone.]

Holding her drink, Jezebel raised a keen eyebrow at Terry's boldness with
interupting Silas while he had pilots on the track. "I've noticed that you
are quite bold, Mr. McMartin." Her eyes rew more seductive. "That is an
alluring quality in any man." Looking over at Sebastian, she finished off,
saying, "Isn't that true 'Bastian?"

[...Anyone and everyone?]

Just then Silas' voice came over the speaker, sounding a bit calmer now.
"What's this? A cookout, tonight? Well, I don't have a problem with that,
but why? Wha? Oh, for love of Massada, this is a ren through so no, don;t
activate the damn flame jets. Sorry, Terry, you were saying?"
