Elizabeth walks up with a neutral expression, trying not to give any sign of apprehension.

"Greetings, I am Isabella. I will be your contact for our side. I see you have an escort."

Elizabeth is perhaps a bit taken aback by her demeanor. Is she old, like many of the others? Has she seen her around?

"...I do. I am Elizabeth."

Does she offer to shake her hand, bow, or do any other courtesy? If so, Elizabeth responds in kind.

She is young, blond and well dressed. Very attractive, but her eyes and smile are a bit too feral for your comfort. You've occasionally seen her in the background when the Haxan have gathered, usually whispering in someone's ear. She does not appear to be of german descent, unlike many of the Haxan. She gives a quick, light curtsey.

"Honestly, how do you put up with those lumbering buffoons? They must hold you back."

RobbyPants · « **Reply #664 on:** April 09, 2024, 09:15:11 PM »

Elizabeth bows in return. She's never been one for dresses or curtsies.

"...Most of my work has been in furthering my understanding of the world or using that knowledge in service to others. They keep me grounded.

I've seen you around, before. Did you grow up, here?"

"Ha! No, my family fled from Spain and it's patriarchy. This new land is dreadfully drab, and seems to have a lot of the problems of the old one. But with Washington's folly, we may find a freer life yet. Have the sisters made you an offer yet?"

RobbyPants · « **Reply #666 on:** April 12, 2024, 09:48:43 AM »

"Had you practiced the art before your move? I've studied the history of it a bit, but I'm largely unaware of recent developments outside of the colonies.

I have not been made an offer, apart from helping to organize the truce between the humans and ghouls.

Were you involved with them before you moved?"

bhu · « **Reply #667 on:** April 13, 2024, 10:21:45 PM »

"Haha! So many questions! My family has always been a part of the Sisters. You might say we were there from the beginning."

sense motive plz

"But to business. Our former servants are almost ready to be on the move. We need to set a time, and the place of egress."

"I'm assuming there will be representatives from all three sides?"

"Of course."

(Her facial expressions and tone are odd. She comes across as someone in a mask pretending to be human.)

"Are we heading elsewhere or meeting here?"

"Here will do."

You are of the opinion she is suffering corruption from too much spellcasting.

RobbyPants · « **Reply #672 on:** April 22, 2024, 11:37:29 AM »

Elizabeth nods and looks around to see if there's anything of note.

Spot = 1d20+3

People clearly know something is going on, as they are giving you a wider berth, and clutching their guns tightly as they move by. The other 'sisters' look a bit nervous whenever Isabella speaks.

RobbyPants · « **Reply #674 on:** April 29, 2024, 12:47:10 PM »

Does Elizabeth have any inkling as to why the other sisters are nervous? Perhaps Isabella is a higher rank despite looking young, or is seen as impulsive?

If you had to guess they're closer to being human---like you. You'd guess Isabella has cast enough spells she's lost a large portion of her humanity, and may think in ways you no longer do. She's less a woman than a woman shaped predatory thing.

ooc: I'll be doing 60 hour weeks through November unless things change, so my posting will be more sporadic.

Elizabeth keeps her guard while waiting.

"So we start the exodus in a day from now, as soon as it is fully dark. Agreed?"

RobbyPants · « **Reply #678 on:** May 03, 2024, 04:18:20 PM »

"'We?' I thought it was just the ghouls who were leaving, or do you mean that you will be helping facilitate the move?

But yes, that is the timeline that I understood. Will I have any role in it beyond making sure the initial tributes are provided?"

bhu · « **Reply #679 on:** May 03, 2024, 06:36:39 PM »

"I presumed we would be standing guard to make sure there are no...incidents. I'm sure there are those on both sides who want more blood."
