<p>She’s got more than enough of that fluff to keep her warm. The thick gray fur also serving to hide her curves somewhat. The fur is fairly standard for a snow leopard, light gray on all but her belly, which is a snowy white, with darker gray rosettes scattered evenly through it. Her paunch is a little more visible now, without the loose clothing, though the fur softens even that, and helps keep her relatively decent. The one defining feature being her paws: these are that darker gray, almost black, of her rosettes, covering her arms from fingertips to elbows. Yet another thing for her to feel self-conscious about.</p>
|
||||
<p>In order to draw away from what she sees as the less-appealing aspects of her appearance, Maddy’s taken steps to flash up the bits of her that she likes more. She’s dyed her hair in pastel colors, a smooth fade from pale pink to sky blue, complementing her light blue eyes. The hair is worn up in a pony tail most of the time, though bangs continue to pester her throughout the day. The rest of her face is fairly plain, though certainly not lacking in expressiveness. When she’s not blushing and stammering about something that makes her shy and embarrassed (that abiding love of Enya, perhaps), she’s most likely to be animatedly geeking out about something she cares deeply about, such as Star Wars novels, or perhaps Firefly. Her nose is pink with a few darker splotches on it, fronting a fairly standard set of whiskers and well-groomed cheekfur.</p>
|
||||
<p>She’s followed everywhere by the biggest endowment any snow leopard could hope for: a luxurious tail that seems just a bit too long on her. The tip is black with a few rings, but the rest is covered in those dark spots on a light grey.</p>

<p>Chipper, bright, prone to blushing, and nerdy as heck, Maddy is a small bundle of snow leopard. She looks to be somewhere in her mid-teens, standing a bit over four and a half feet tall. Puberty has clearly hit, but only recently, so she hasn’t gained much in the way of height, nor of a chest, only adding to the appearance of being a kid. She looks like she never quite lost that baby-fat, and has landed firmly in the camp of ‘chubby’. School being what it is, she’s fairly self-conscious of her weight, hiding in slightly-too-big boy shirts and loose skirts whenever she can, both of which serve to help keep her cool, even on the coldest days. Beyond that, the girl wears nothing else - again, the better to stay cool - except for a pretty band around her neck of solid metal (titanium, as she’ll proudly tell you), circular in cross-section and polished to a gleam. There’s no visible means of removing it.</p>

Chipper, bright, prone to blushing, and nerdy as heck, Maddy is a small bundle of snow leopard. She looks to be somewhere in her mid-teens, standing a bit over four and a half feet tall.

|

<p>Ta-da! Maddy’s got all done up in her halloween costume! This year, she’s going as: her player! Spooooky~</p>
|
||||
<p>Tall, visibly trans, and more than a bit mussed, she stands at just over six feet tall, not including the additional inch her hair occupies. The hair seems to shift freely between frizz and curl, and has been dyed a smooth fade from a blueish-green up top to purple down toward the ends, which reach down to her shoulder blades. Or, rather, it had been dyed a few months back, as the color is starting to fade and an inch or two of salt-and-pepper brown roots are showing. She keeps it caught in a loose ponytail, twirled around a chopstick, or in a sloppy braid, minus a forelock draped to the side.</p>

<p><strong>Douglas Hadje:</strong> Remember how I said my workload as launch director would be starting to decrease after launch?</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Well, now I’m only working a few days at a time, and most of that is writing up documentation and collating reports for the launch commission. Soon, even that will disappear, and I suspect I’ll be out of a job unless I decide to take on another position.</p>

<p><strong>May Then My Name:</strong> Do you think that you will?</p>
|

<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> I don’t know. Maybe? Probably. Once I’m out of a job, my reason to be here is kind of gone, and I imagine whatever good will I’ve built up will start to run out and they won’t let me stay on the station. It’s mostly self sufficient, but resources are limited and I’m sure there’s someone who would like to take my spot.</p>

<p>She picked at a coin that had cemented itself to the rim of the fountain in a layer of slimy algae, winced at the unpleasant sensation, and then flicked it into the murky-green water that still stained the basin of the fountain.</p>

<p>There was a part of her mind that was tempted to consider those who lived sys-side as some how more perfect beings than those who remained phys-side. But no, that wasn’t quite correct. They were different, yes, but they weren’t some greater form of perfection — or perhaps not entirely.</p>

<p>Were they perhaps some core difference in ideals? Obviously, given the cost of uploading, there was a natural barrier, but even among the upper-middle and higher classes, there were some who simply chose not to upload. What was the difference? Was it aspirational? Were those who uploaded on some different wavelength from those who stayed behind? There were certainly many who found the whole process abhorrent on a physical level, yes. Of those who found it distasteful on intellectual, emotional, and spiritual levels, what did the prospect of continuing to live phys-side provide that living sys-side did not?</p>

<p>She couldn’t decide, but there was the logical fallout of that situation, that the two should be treated on a fundamentally different level, when it came to politics.</p>

<p>There was a slight twinge of a sensory alarm, and she knew that it was time for the meeting with Jonas.</p>
|

<p>He had chosen a war-gaming room for the meeting. There in the middle of the room was a backlit map of Earth at least five meters long, and scattered across its surface were dozens of chess pieces — knights, pawns, queens — which had been pushed this way and that by long sticks that still rested along the edges of the table.</p>
