Ratfinx picks up the pen nervously and writes in a spidery but clear

Willow gently removes the linen cloths and spreads them over the
tables, smoothing out the wrinkles. Ralph takes out the Gest Buk and
opens it to a new page, writing '2009' at the top with a flourish.
Then he and Willow pause, looking toward the Rainbow Bridge now
visible in the mist over Cat Island, and wave at a white cat and a
black cat looking down at them. Willow takes out the small framed
picture of Laura and Vinnie and places it on the smaller table along
with Laura's silver flute while Ralph puts the Gest Buk and a plumed
pen on the bigger one.]

to pass the pen on...]

went to The Bridge this past year. Nothing to fear. Given that I *AM*

As Princess Pasha stands in the moonlight, she gazes into the sky,
thinking about all the friends that have gone before. *Ah, how she

MuShu walks up with a lady dressed in mostly black silk with white
trim, much like MuShu's tux. MuShu takes the pen and signs the
guestbook for himself and his lady: MuShu the Magnificent of Seoul,
Honolulu, and Waianae, and his Lady Meowmie, Shadow, Widow of Michael
of the House of Homan and Bedford.

[Aed from the Second World walks past and overhears this exchange.]

Good evening, Misty. My name is Aed, and I'm one of the cats visiting
from the Second World. We have the ability to transform freely between
feline and human form, and sometimes other forms as well, and we find
that we have problems with the eyes. We get everything else perfect, but
looking deeply into the eyes of one of us while we are in human form
frequently allows other humans to detect that we're not quite like them.
That's one of the reasons why we usually limit our interactions with true
humans to the hours after the sun sets.

Aed

Amelia! OT! Harri! Samuel! Lilith! Ranger Greykitten!
Ralph, hugging all his friends

Meow, Ralph. It's great to see you again!

Amelia
