ADMIN: Greetings, all; glad to get this new thread going.
	I don't really care how this falls in the stream of actions; its
	just to give you impressions of Galland.

As Glysten rises and addresses the group, the stillness that has held
them breaks.  Some greet one another; some glare and move off by themselves;
others just sit.

The still, cloaked figure of Galland shakes once, sits up and then the black
cloak dissolves and a woman in her late 20's is revealed.  She blinks, sits up
and looks around with wide eyes.  From her lap a small monkey jumps onto
the table and starts chattering angrily at her; she spends a few moments
calming the monkey, addressing it as 'Ralf' and explaining that no, she
doesn't know what is going on or how they got here.

Galland has short sandy hair and wears a light jerkin and trousers of slate
gray.  She has a fairly nondescript face -- her nose turns up a bit, her
eyes are brown.  She has fairly long and very nimble fingers.  On the little
finger of her right hand is a very heavy black ring.  She is very slim and,
as you will soon notice, moves with the flowing ease of an acrobat.  You see
no sign of a weapon anywhere on her person.

As Ralf cools down and climbs onto her shoulders, she looks around at the
rest of you curiously -- those that are still at the table.  As most of us
are probably doing, she slips away to ponder what has happened, and what is
ahead.

Galland -- or is it?
