Happy birthday!

[vila_restal]

I see it's Tarrant's birthday. Any excuse for a celebration is what I say, so I've opened one of Avon's bottles of Lindor brandy in honour of the occasion. There's also ice cream with chocolate sauce, nuts (apart from the crew), and various other nibbles and snacky-dos.

See you on the flight deck, mate!

Nice idea! Choccy-chip bikkies are very good with ice cream!

Hey Vila,

*tries out the Chiana-style flying glomp* How's life on ship going? Anything exciting happen? I saved you a slice of birthday cake. *offers* A question: what are you most proud of stealing?

Em :-)

Ooh! [grins with delight] I won't try out a flying glomp meself; I might flatten you!

Hmm, most proud, eh? Well, there are the heists that were clever, like nicking art on order for collectors, and there was that spaceship on CF1, but that didn't work out that well, given one of my friends got killed and when I got home, I was too late; my mum was dead. I think I'll say the Mumak. It's a huge, lumbering (no pun intrended) great ship, size of a small moon, so easily the biggest thing I've taken, and it was the start of a new life as a free trader. :-)

I was afraid I'd knock you over. Glomping is such an art form. XD

Aww, I heard about CF1 *hugs*

Yay for the Mumak! *snicker* It took me a moment to get the not-a-pun :P Wow, I never knew you could get such big ships. Then again, trees are pretty big so this makes sense.

Mab, my talking cat of many talents, says hello. I apologise if she's been picking up conversational habits from Avon. She does it to annoy me.

Mab: mrrrr *tries to look normal*

[pets Mab] Aren't you just beautiful?

Have you ever seen this (http://www.jimmcneill.com/dance.html)? I think Mab must be a bit like that cat. Aven said she's probably called Servalan. [watches again]

Mab: mrrrw! I am, I am! *gives Vila yellow eyed stare* One human male thief, seems funny and adorable...*puts him down under 'mostly harmless'*

*jumps up and allows herself to be petted*

Em: You're supposed to introduce yourself, not catalogue him! Oh yes, that cat does seem a bit like Mab. Mab isn't that bad though. She's very friendly if she decides she likes you. I'm not entirely certain if she likes me but she's still here so I'm guessing so.

[Vila is delighted and strokes Mab gently, and talks to her.] Oh, I am, me. I'm amost completely harmless unless peopole on other ships who haven't even met me start shooting at me.

[To Em] I'm sure she likes you. Cats just wander off and find someone else otherwise.

(Sorry for the late reply.)

True. It's quite a feat to be completely harmless. Not many people could manage it even if they lived on their own in a hut in the mountains somewhere.

I'm glad you've found the Mumak and a happy...happiness. I recall reading somewhere was that the reason why there are no happy endings is because nothing truly ends. I'm so glad you're still Vila and not changed the way Avon did.

Oh Vila, don't ever become a cynic. *hugs*
