[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.]

[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.

[bancroft]

Such a dejected tone! I imagine then, you have another perspective on the subject.

[reallywicked]

You ever try to remember a name but you can't quite find it? Or know that you are forgetting something, but just can't remember what the hell it is?

That's pretty much my whole life now.

[bancroft]

I imagine it's a great deal like getting old must be.

[reallywicked]

Whoever wanted to get old before they were done being young?

[bancroft]

Well, it does mean you have the ability to write off any mistakes you make to your faulty memory. I imagine there's fun to be had in that.

[reallywicked]

[She smirks]

I like the way you think.

[bancroft]

A troublemaker by nature, then. Someone would have to be, to sympathize with the way I like to run things.

[reallywicked]

I guess I've always been a little wicked.

[bancroft]

A hint of wickedness can keep life fresh, so long as it isn't what lies at the core of one's heart.
