ON:

Nira, in her jungle infused quarters, had strapped on all her things, then opened her portal. Through it she could see a vast metropolis, so much so that only parks had any of the 'natural' soil left to see, touch, and enjoy. The planet Saqqara, surrounded by doorways to the rest of the universe. So, having been here many times in the past Nira Whisperwind stepped through her portal and into the city center, where security was the tightest for keeping our riff-raff. She pressed a small gem on her straps, making it glow with a magenta color. As she approached a certain doorway the guards looked at her as a possible threat, then as their eyes caught the glow of the gem, she was immediately friendly, even bristling with melee weapons and a bow. Tehy made way and the twelve feet tall double doors split open and swung inward as she swaggered in.

There, at his DJ board was the Grand Master, making his music while the room around him partied. She approached with a smile.

The Grand Master glanced up, then his eyes immediately came back up to her as he stood up straight, clasping his hands together. "Nira! So good to see you again, my dear. The Puazi seldom visit these days."

"We have become one with Puaza," explained Nira as she came in and hugged this being of untold age. She even gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek as she stepped back. "We have been adjusting to this new knowledge. However, I have come from the world known as Earth, or Midgard out here among the multiverse. I travel on one of their starships."

"Really?" The Grand Master gave a grin, but his eyes were cynical. "Wow. Who'd have thought. No one gave a damn about the plastics killing the oceans, along with overfishing. If their oceans had died, they would have died and become the next Venus. Glad they found their wisdom."

Nira nodded as she crossed her arms over her chest, her bikini style armor that was normally black had switched to stark white to better accentuate her curves, with a portion of it morphing into knee-high go-go boots, solid white with black soles and heel, and black eyelets for the white laces. The GM liked flare. "I came to visit, but also to deal."

GM gave a huge smile and held his arm out, which Nira hooked hers through as they began to walk together. "The arena?"

"If that's what you want, of course." That was what Nira was counting on. Doing battle for the GM's amusement, putting yourself at risk for his attentions, held merit for the being. "I have another, but he'll need a juicing first. A damn fine contender. Once the application has been done, I'll wager 10 million units on my man. Once he secures victory then he and I will combat whatever you throw at us. Deal?" She stopped them and had him face her more.

"You drive a hard bargain, as always, my dear Nira." The GM gave a true smile of warmth and friendship, patting her hand resting on his forearm. "I agree. Is this a forced transfer or amenable?"

"Forced, I'm afraid." Nira gave a shy grin. "A favor in return for a good show. And, to please a friend." She got on toes and kissed his cheek again, then he got them moving along once more.
