[Earlier in the week all DRAKENET devices received a message announcing Francesca's birthday party, courtesy of Sir Bancroft, to be held the evening of July 11. No RSVP needed. It's especially good timing now that many mission groups have returned to the castle, at least for the time being.

As the guests make their way in, it's clear the party's been well stocked with food and drink. There's plenty of room for mingling and some music in the background. Gifts are completely optional, but welcome. Come in and get comfortable.]

Something to dance to?

[bancroft]

What's wrong with this? Plenty a lass danced a can can to it back in the day!

[reallywicked]

That was then. This is now. Pretty sure everyone here can't can't.

[bancroft]

Aw, come now. It's easy! Might split that dress of yours though... Need a few more skirts.

[reallywicked]

Any excuse to get a look up a skirt, huh?

[bancroft]

I'll leave that to the men much younger than me now.

[reallywicked]

Tsk, what happened? Lose all your mischief since I last saw you?

[bancroft]

"Mischief" is hardly the word I would use for that, my dear. There are rules. I, alas, am but bound to them.

[reallywicked]

I guess I can't complain about following the rules... this time.

[bancroft]

The burden of a Dragon's Claw.

[reallywicked]

Not too much of a burden, right? I mean... there must be some perks.

[bancroft]

Oh, naturally. [ he lifts his hands from the keys to crack his knuckles over his head ]

Best rooms in the castle, for one.

[reallywicked]

Really? Maybe you can show me sometime.

[bancroft]

Ah, but that would spoil all the mystery, my dear.

[reallywicked]

[She gives a playful shrug]

Can't blame a girl for trying.

[bancroft]

Plenty of better fish in the sea. It is a party, after all.

[reallywicked]

Always saw myself as more of a shark than a fish. And I wasn't looking for a guppy.

[bancroft]

[ he laughs loudly at that, and then grins, with his exceptionally sharp teeth ] Waiting for blood in the water, eh?

[reallywicked]

[She doesn't seem bothered by the appearance of those teeth. Maybe a little curious.]

Gotta keep it interesting. Dangerous is usually interesting.

[bancroft]

I've known some rather dull dangerous types in my time.

[reallywicked]

[She leans against the piano with a smirk.] That's why I said 'usually.'

[bancroft]

Have a lot of experience with the sort, do you?

[reallywicked]

[She just shrugs]

Maybe. I don't remember anything about my life, so I might have experience in all kinds of things.

[bancroft]

Ahh, one of those. How fortunate for you: you can make all your own first experiences all over again.

[reallywicked]

That's one way to look at it.
