♬ Reasons Why - Nickel Creek

WHO || Lis'sa Trinall, Rebekah Mikaelson, open if people want to bang into them, just threadjack wherever.
WHAT || Lis'sa meets with her squire
WHERE || Knight's HQ, Dragon's Hoard wing, Lis'sa's office
WHEN || June 25th [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam

[The Dragon's Hoard's wing is located in the farthest corner of the first floor of the castle from where the squire bedrooms are, rather than immediately by the laboratory.   Lis'sa sends a text to Rebekah to come to her office there on Wednesday morning so that they might get a chance to finally sit and talk about her squiring period. Hopefully, she has no problems locating the place.]


Optional Rolls:
† † If she goes searching on herown: Roll a d20. A roll of a 13 or above can locate the office. Particularly high rolls mean he finds it quickly and vice versa.
† If she chooses to ask somebody, roll a d20 for a Gather Information check and put the number you got in the header of your reply, with however she approached the person she's stopping to ask.
† Or just tag with whatever else you had in mind!

[Rebekah decides to go looking for the office herself. How hard can it be? (search: 16) It doesn't take her long to find it, luckily. Rebekah being...Rebekah doesn't really bother with knocking so much as she just opens the door and lets herself in.]

[lissatrinall]

[lis'sa sits behind a large, dark, wooden desk with a single large stack of papers on one corner. books and paperwork line the walls. A large skull serves as a paperweight on her desk, and the only light comes from a small dim lamp beside her.

she looks up when rebekah enters, and a spot check of 12+ notices her strange features: pinched cheekbones, a flattened nasal ridge, and slitted eyes that look reptilian. she speaks up quietly but firmly when she sees who it is: ] Have a seat. [ the 's' is slightly sibilant, a loosely breathy exhalation. ]

[easily]

[with a spot check of 18 she notices the strange features but doesn't comment on them just yet.

Instead she sits down, waiting for the other woman to speak again.]

[lissatrinall]

Rebekah, is it?

[easily]

It is. And you're Lissa, correct?

[lissatrinall]

That's what it says on the plaque. Welcome to the Knights. I trust you've had a little time to settle in at least. Meet a few faces.

[easily]

A few, reunite with a few older ones. It seems my brother's been with you for a year now.

[lissatrinall]

I'd wondered if the last names were a coincidence or not.

[easily]

No coincidence -- we have quite a large family. If other Mikaelsons ever show up it'll probably be our brothers.

[lissatrinall]

Just how many s-siblings did you have?

[easily]

Only two are still alive, but originally there was six of us in total. I was the only girl.

[lissatrinall]

I'm not surprised that you were one of those left standing, then.

[easily]

My brothers ca be very protective of me, it's true.

[lissatrinall]

[ she actually smiles slightly ] I meant, because you're a woman. We tend to be better at most things.

[easily]

[Rebekah's smile widens at that.]

I happen to agree -- though growing up with so many men, it was hard to convince them of that.

[lissatrinall]

Sometimes it's better to let them think they're the superior ones. It means they don't pay as much attention to what we're accomplishing behind their backs.

[easily]

Exactly. It seems they've assigned me to a woman of my own heart.

[lissatrinall]

Wynn's usually rather on point with his assignments, although it's not always so initially apparent.

What can you tell me about yourself?

[easily]

Well, for starters, I'm a vampire. One of the oldest of my world.

[lissatrinall]

How old is oldest?

[easily]

Over a thousand years

[lissatrinall]

[ her eyebrow lifts almost imperceptibly ] Really.

Even for this world, that's... unusual.

[easily]

Well, there weren't exactly a lot of us in my world. Just my family.

[lissatrinall]

Original vampires, you mean.

[easily]

Yes. My family were the only ones. The Originals, if you will.

[lissatrinall]

That's quite an impressive lineage. I imagine you've seen much in your time. And you remember... much of it?

[easily]

Most of it. There are a few blanks but not as much as others it sounds like

[lissatrinall]

At times it's difficult to know. You might not realize something is missing until you have occasion to try to recall it. You might never know what you've really lost.

[easily]

How comforting. [Except now.]

[lissatrinall]

I don't like sugar coating the situation. Any situation, really.

[easily]

I don't blame you. Sugar coating tends to just waste time.

[lissatrinall]

And there's nothing I hate more than wasted time.

On that note, I suppose we can streamline this. What would you like to know?
