A long lost, weary traveler...

[Skatha]

The door opens tentatively and a woman pokes her head in, looking
around shyly. She wears sneakers instead of combat boots, scrubs
instead of jeans, but she's still got her glasses, and her hair's cut
just as strangely as it ever was.

"Hello? I'm Jess, or Skatha. I haven't been back here for, what,
thirteen years? - but I got lost when I came back from China, and it
took me this long to find Amethyst again! I wonder, is there anyone
left who remembers me?"

She enters and gently closes the door behind her, orders red tea and
sits down next to an empty chair, awaiting conversation.

Hi, there. It's pretty quiet here these days.

I Gemini. I'm not sure if we met before. Come on in, hang out, and
have a cuppa. So, what were you doing in China?

Gemini, backing up her hard drive withe closing ceremonies from
Vancouver in one ear. Mounties galore!

Daniel waves. "Ni hao a?"

Dan, ad nauseam

Diana searches her memory and comes up dry. "Hi, Jess. I'm Diana. I
probably started frequenting the Amethyst a bit after you left for
China. Just pop in on the rare occasion now, whenever the place shows a
sign of life. Are you just passing through, or planning to stay awhile
now that you've found your way back?"
