Yggdrasil (Afina, Moore, Jaela)

[Corwin]

"Oh, I so want to say bullshit! But I could probably boost a magic missile to do things it wasn't supposed to, so why not a scary mage all lost here?" Jaela muses. "Okay, next question! Have you in some way acquired the never-ending hatred of a deity who will constantly send his servants out to try and kill you? If so, which?"

[Ebiris]

"Doubtful," Afina replies, having caught the threatening subtext Jaela used when talking about everyone else they've bested down here.

[Anastasia]

Bella raises a single perfect finger to her lips. Her nails are perfect and painted red, matching her lipstick. "Oh no, I'm afraid I've never managed that. Beyond the troubles you get merely taking care of trash, of course. Devils never forget a perceived slight. If I were to slight the devils, all of Creation would know and hear of it. Hmph."

[Corwin]

Jaela beams at Bella. "Good, good! Not as good as saying Tiamat personally hates you, but we can't all be perfect like me! Next question! Since you've taken the shape of an elf should I deduce that you like elves and their pantheon?"

[Anastasia]

Oh, Bella just smiles even more, crooking her finger forward. "Elven bodies are so much better than human bodies. Dwarves are too short, gnomes...best not after the past ugliness. Come here and I'll show you my symbol, Jaela."

"Oh for..." Crystal murmurs in distaste, "Look at this strumpet, Afina!"

[Corwin]

"I'm sorry, I simply must ask. Are you an ancient vampire?"

[Anastasia]

This gets Bella to laugh just a little bit. "A vampire? No, I am not a vampire."

[Corwin]

Jaela peers closer at her. "Are you sure? You feel just like one."

[Ebiris]

"Nothing wrong with being forward," Afina says, glancing over at Crystal. "Really I'd expect you to approve."

[Anastasia]

Bella opens her mouth, pearly white teeth lacking any fangs at all. "If I'm a vampire, I'm terrible at being one." She runs her tongue slowly over her teeth, "See? No fangs."

"Truly?" Crystal eyes Afina, "There is a difference between being forward and being a brazen strumpet like this. Hmph."

[Ebiris]

Afina just rolls her eyes a little, not really appreciating the difference Crystal is driving at.

[Corwin]

Jaela rubs her chin in thought. "What, then? I'm sorry about asking all these personal questions, but since I'm making a clear recruitment pitch for you to join our Crusade if you're not aligned with our enemies and you're playing along I'm taking that as your interest in joining up."

[Anastasia]

"You can tell me about it over here," she beckons forth again. "Come, I don't bite. Another point in favor of not being a vampire. I'll tell you about myself as well."

"See?" Crystal mutters, rolling her eyes back at Afina.

Meanwhile Queen Ilsenine just watches this all the while, "Afina, Crystal," she says softly, her voice carrying just enough.

[Nephrite]

For his part, Moore tries to think of anything obvious that this creature might be.

He's basically thinking she's probably a succubus like Candy but is trying to think of anything else that might be notorious for trying to flirt and tempt people. Take 10 for 47 on K:P if that's what it'd be.

[Corwin]

"I'm sorry," Jaela says apologetically. "I'd lose all respect for myself if I walk into such an obvious setup. Even if you're not actually trying anything, you understand. It's the principle of the thing."
