The front door flies open. There's a brief glimpse of a New York alleyway, and the sound of quite a few people, but that doesn't last long. This is because Ray fairly leaps through the door and slams it shut behind him

Well that outburst was certainaly enough to get Amanda out of her lathargic mood. Okay maybe not, but at least she isn't falling asleep anymore.

So she stands and walks. Her feet sem to be taking her to the source of the outburst.

"Evening Ray." yes as it is evening by her internal clock. It will take sometime to re-adjust to Milliways time. Taking a seat next to him at the bar.

[gone_byebye]

Ray twitches and looks up. "Um. Hi, Amanda."

[amanda_darieux]

"Longtime no see. What have ou been doing with yourself?" a bowl of fruit appears in front of her without prompting and she thanks Lady Bar. It's noce having a usual.

[gone_byebye]

"Um. A couple of months in a state of advanced sleep deprivation, watching over a kid with a serious evil problem until we could get him to take back control of his own brain, then a couple of months back home with my daughter, doing my job and working with my nephews, and now hiding from the fanboys." Ray shudders. "How about you?"

[amanda_darieux]

"Well a few weeks a ago I spent some time as a Raven. Spent time back home moving. And the usual practicing. Oh and I did take a trip to Tahiti." she smiles, "Guess my life has been relatively boring recently. At least by Milliways standards."

There is a raised eyebrow, "So now you have your own fanboys? I'm impressed. Though not that suprised." Hey she has heard of some of his exploits, they are impressive.

[gone_byebye]

"As a... what, did you piss off a wizard or something?" Ray blinks. "Or Q? That seems to be the usual thing around here."

He sighs. "They're not my fanboys. They're Star Wars fanboys. They saw the lightsabre on the evening news and they all want one."

[amanda_darieux]

Shaking her head, Amanda chuckles, "hy is it that everyone assumes that I upset a wizard? Being a rtaven isn't a punishment. I asked my friend to do it."

"Ahh" as understanding dawns. "I can see how that could be a problem. Is that what the lawyer is for?"

[gone_byebye]

"Because ravens are big smelly carrion eaters that usually have bits of their last meal stuck to claws somewhere, hang around battlefields and abbatoirs chowing down on the gooshier bits of the corpse, and for all their cleverness are generally not the most socially wonderful of birds? I dunno." Ray shrugs. "Not that I don't like Raven, but let's face it, as far as bird species go ravens are not exactly the paragons of mystical wonderfulness that the neo-pagan community would like to make them out to be."

"And yeah, it is. I want them to go away and let me do my work."

[amanda_darieux]

"Well, I can't say that I was all that bad. And honestly I find the Ravens that I've met here to be very good conversationalists."

"Ray, you can't get a restraining order on all of them. Or I suppose you could but it would take some time. There has to be a better way."

[gone_byebye]

"It's not for them. It's for me. I want Lucasfilm to issue a document restraining me from giving out information relating to their copyrighted materials. That way the fans won't be able to get anything from me without going through scarier lawyers than I could ever afford."

[amanda_darieux]

Amanda nods, "Well that is more practical but still it would be nice if there was another way. Really all it should take is diverting their attention to something else so that they forget about the fact you've built a real lightsaber."

Okay yes that is an amazing accomplishment and it would take something really huge to do it but there has to be something.

[gone_byebye]

"These people are nuts," Ray says gloomily. "I hate public relations work."

[amanda_darieux]

Nodding in agreement, "No kidding. But there has to be something other then taking legal action against you. What would get these people more excited then this?"

[gone_byebye]

"How should I know? They're fans! What gets a fan more excited than finding out that what they're a fan of us really real?"

[amanda_darieux]

"I don't know." she frowns, now she is going to be obsessing over this all day.
