It is just after 1230 when Lysia wheels the big land yacht into the parking lot at Charlies. There are a number of ground vehicles and grav cars parked in the lot next the large ramshackled looking building on a low cliff overlooking the beaches below. Once up close you discover the ramshackled appearance is just that, an appearance, and inside you see that the motif of old, slow and casual has been maintained. You are escorted to a table next to large windows overlooking the narrow white sanded beaches and the blue waters of the bay beyond. From your table you can see a large freighter sailing slowly across the bay toward the ports of Mark City as well as what look like several white hulled fishing boats slowing trawling across the waters of the bay. Looking down you see there are several people sunning on the beach and a few swimming in the shallow waters near shore. Eris AKU GM
