[Anastasia]

Moore can't quite recall, but there's something...argh. He just flat forgets.

"You'll need to be assessed," Adrian says, considering. "What precisely are you skills? Arcane magic? Divine magic?"

[Yuthirin]

"A bit of arcane. Mostly psionics." She replies cheerfully. "Also, Chaos."

[Nephrite]

Psionics? Oh, that probably explains the apple from earlier then, doesn't it? Why didn't she just say so?

"Yes, lots of chaos." Moore helpfully adds.

[Anastasia]

"Psionics? That's rare," Adrian says, "Elena?"

The blue ghost girl appears after a moment, dressed up like Dana. Before she can even get a word out, Adrian holds his hand up. "Don't. Just get the real thing, she's the best psionicist we have." A smirk from Elena and she vanishes right away again.

"Go ahead and have a seat," Adrian says, "We'll all go over this and see from there. In the meantime, is there anything else to report?"

Tannin takes out the contribution and tosses it onto the table, "Yeah, this."

[Nephrite]

"It isn't much, but I think further ties could be cultivated with some effort." Moore says with a glance to Tannin for approval of that line of thinking.

[Anastasia]

Adrian takes a look in, "It'll get to the Aurora fund," he says. "Yeah, we've been working on that. We have ties to Brightwater so this is expected."

"Also," Canderella cuts in, taking out a ring from within her dress. It's a ring of gold and inset with several large sapphires. She tosses it underhand to Adrian, who snatches it right out of the air. "Another donation. I'm not sure how much it's worth, but I think those are real sapphires."

Adrian holds it up to the light and peers at it intently.

<Serith> Kowork roll for Serith < 42 > [d20=14]

Appraise check.

"About 5,000 gold, give or take." Adrian puts it away, "That'll get to the Aurora fund as well. No luck with your own recruit?"

Canderella sighs lightly, a dramatic little look, "Little and less luck. I've been spending time around Mial, which helps, but it's still a hard sell."

"Mial...oh yes, her," Adrian murmurs, "I read that report. As long as you come back in one piece. Anyway," His gaze turns to Calleigh, "Just sit tight, Dana should be here momentarily."

[Yuthirin]

"You have a ghost too!? Who's Dana? Is she nice? Will there be SNACKS?"

[Anastasia]

"Fuller of questions than an archon is of order," Tannin drawls, "Aren't you?"

Adrian clears his throat, "Her name is Elena and she's not technically a ghost. It's complicated. Dana's a warrior and a psionicist as well. She's...ah..." Adrian scratches at his cheek, looking away. "She's Dana. As for snacks? Elena, could you have someone bring something? Thanks."

[Nephrite]

Moore debates asking Calleigh to try and tone it down a little for Dana, but has a feeling that's going to have the opposite of the intended effect, so he just opts to not say anything and try and calm Dana down if it comes to it.

This cannot possibly end badly.

[Anastasia]

A moment after thinking it, Dana strides right through the portal and in. "What the fuck do you want, shithead?" she snaps, "I was trying to get motherfucking drunk for breakfast!"

Adrian coughs into his hand, "Dana, this is Calleigh. She's a new recruit and has psionic ability. As you're our best hand at that, I want you to tell me how good she is."

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh beams cheerily. "Hello! I'm Calleigh! You have BRAIN POWERS too? Let's go blow stuff up!" Calleigh zips up to Dana. "Oh oh oh let's get DRUNK and then blow stuff up! And have snacks!"

[Anastasia]

"Well shit, it's a fairy with some balls," Dana grins at that, "Shit, you too? C'mon, I'm gonna get Tepen to send us somewhere fucking FUN!"

[Yuthirin]

"Yay! What's a Tepen?" Calleigh asks.

[Anastasia]

"He's a wrinkly old..." Dana says as the two go through the portal and away. Tannin watches all of this silently, and once they're gone, "So is that psionics stuff a sign your mind isn't right?"

Canderella shrugs, "I've met a few that seem alright. I also met a balor who worked on mind powers. Tried to clone itself over and over with them, didn't work out for him. Oh, and there's the Wandering Giver." Canderella visibly pales at that, "No, forget I said that."

Off to your own thread momentarily, Calleigh.
