[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.]

[reallywicked]

Only enough to make things interesting.

[Girl, that is not even going to make her mad. Even though she can't remember any of her conquests- she just has a feeling.]

[postergirl]

You must be very proud.

[reallywicked]

[She shrugs] Always looking to improve. Got any tips? Someone around here once said I've got something to learn from everyone here. Pretty sure we've nailed your best subject.

[postergirl]

And what, precisely, are you looking to learn?

[reallywicked]

[Another shrug] Something something 'wisdom beyond my years' blah blah blah. [She snorts]

I wasn't being serious. God, can no one around here take a joke?

[postergirl]

A sense of humor is hardly the most popular feature around here.

[reallywicked]

I noticed. [She rolls her eyes.] I'm not sure why we even have parties if everyone is going to suck the fun out of everything.

[postergirl]

I imagine they find it adds a sense of occasion to their thankless lives.

[reallywicked]

[That gets a snort out of her.]

I'll show them a sense of occasion.

[postergirl]

Now that I'd like to see.

[reallywicked]

I'm sure you would.

So what is it you do around here? Everyone's got a gig, right?

[postergirl]

I suppose you might call me a people person. I'm good at getting people to do what I want them to do. Or tell me what I need to know. Comes in much handier than gunning everything down all the time.

[reallywicked]

[Color Faye instantly intrigued... but trying to pretend like she isn't.]

I guess there are a lot of people who are easily influenced. [It's a shame she can't remember how great she was at that sort of thing in her own world.]

[postergirl]

Everyone is, darling, if you know what makes them tick.

[reallywicked]

You wouldn't be willing to share your secrets, would you?

[postergirl]

Depends on what you have to offer me.

[reallywicked]

Well... there's always magic. That's handy, right?

[postergirl]

Magic, eh? [ her eyes spark with interest ] There's hardly a shortage of those who can do magic around here. What makes yours so... special?

[reallywicked]

It's not the magic so much as that I'm not afraid to use it.

[loose magical morals... well, loose morals, let's be real. Also this is like a sort of bluff because she's still not great with... using her magic. It just sort of happens to her most of the time. Bluff check: 15.]

[postergirl]

Is that so? For any and all occasions, hmm?

[reallywicked]

Now you're getting the idea.

[postergirl]

So what exactly are you offering?

[reallywicked]

How about a favor?

[postergirl]

I do like the sound of that. Some of my life experience and advice in return for your agreeing to do one little favor for me down the road, whenever I should name it.

I assume, darling, this would remain between you and I...

[reallywicked]

Just between us girls.
