...the character I made with the intention of only playing here a few days arrived in Sundren Valley. I know some of you read this same post last year, but for our newcomers... this is how the Iron Fist behaved before she was the Iron Fist.

[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] The young woman hums a chipper, cheery tune despite the downpour.
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] She turns towards James and offers him a curt nod.
[Lothoir] James Arrow: [Talk] James looks to the right, "Hullo."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] Upon noticing people, she stops and then offers a friendly wave. "Hello!"
[Peridan Night] Centurio Peridan Twilight: [Talk] For once isn't outnumbered by banites hanging out at the campfire
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] She grimaces as she hears the upbeat humming get louder and louder. Her grimace sours yet more then she hears the cheery greeting.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "Am I heading the correct way towards the city?"
[Lothoir] James Arrow: [Talk] "Well that depends."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She reaches up a slender hand and wipes a few tendrils of wet blonde hair from her face.
[Lothoir] James Arrow: [Talk] "On soon would you like to get there?"
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "It's just up this way--" She says, turning and pointing up the hill, but she cuts off when she sees the woman.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She starts to reply to James, but she pauses when she hears the all-too-familiar voice.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] In the matter of a moment, she shifts from cheerfulness to downright elation. "LIZZY!!"
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She bounces towards the woman, arms outstretched.
[Lothoir] James Arrow: [Talk] James smirks, "Lizzy?"
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] A slow smile screeps across her face. "Well, well, well. Looks what the cat dragged in," she says dryly, the antithesis to her friend.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She chatters with excitement while squeezing Lysandra in a tight, affectionate hug! "I made it!"
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "Father said that I should not come here, but you know how protective he gets, and he thought that I would not make it, but I told him that I had to see you, and-"
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] Her entire body seems to go rigid as Emiliana closes in for a hug. "I was unaware you were headed here anyway--And I go by Blackwell now."
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] She gives Emiliana a few pats on the back. "Are you in town for long?"
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She squeezes Lysandra again before releasing her and beaming. "I have no idea! I came to see my most favorite cousin in the entire realm - and who knows what else!"
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] She reaches up and pulls down her hood. "I'll introduce you."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "Wonderful!"
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She practically bounces upon her toes with excitement, and then she turns to regard the others at the campsite.
[Peridan Night] Centurio Peridan Twilight: [Talk] "....On that exciting note--" He abruptly turns and strolls off, cigar puffing away.
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] She turns and gestures to each person as she mentions their names. "Magus James Arrow. Centurio Twilight, who's leaving our company. Sesquiplicarius William Shepard. Magus Das."
[blurry89] William Shepard: [Talk] He offers a lazy smile and a polite nod of his head.
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "Everyone, this is Emmi," she says, patting her petite blonde-haired cousin on the shoulder.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] Wide, curious blue eyes flit from person to person as introductions are made.
[Infallius] Das Ju'ent: [Talk] *Gives Emi a cautious wave* Hello there.
[Lothoir] James Arrow: [Talk] "You also forgot Vagrant Priest of Shaundakul." James says to Lizzy with a smile. More vagrant than priest, I must admit...but I digress!"
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "I've joined the Legion here since that... Ah, you know," she says to Emiliana.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "Hello!" She wave-waves at everyone before turning back to Lysandra.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She nods in understanding before speaking, "I told Father that you would have joined some sort of organization. There is too much service in our blood."
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "Yeah... I... Heh," she mutters, motioning to her insignia. Then she clears her throat. "You plan on staying here long?"
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "I have no idea! I wanted to leave Waterdeep after my birthday. Father did not like the idea, but I wanted to see more of Faerūn - and I wanted to see you, too."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "Will you be able to show me some of your new homeland, or do you have duties?
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "If you do decide to stick around, we need someone with your positive outlook," she says, reaching over to flick a wayward bang away from her cousin's face--An uncharacteristically tender and sisterly gesture coming from Blackwell.
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] Then she looks at Shepard as though deferring to him for the answer.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] The petite young woman beams with affection at Lysandra. "Well, you know I know my rank and protocol..." She momentarily flicks her eyes skyward before chuckling. "How could I not know it?"
[blurry89] William Shepard: [Talk] "Sure." he says ambiguously, taking another pull from his cigarette.
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "I'll show you around the city."
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] She taps her chin. "Maybe I'll introduce you to Grant. Actually, it might be best not to."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] A slender eyebrow quirks. "Grant?"
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "A colleague of mine."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "If he is another dull, boring solider..."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She gives Lysandra an adorably flat look.
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "He's not," she cuts in.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "Good".
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "As the saying goes, he has teeth and... Well, impressionable people tend not to like him very much."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "Speaking of dull, boring soldiers... do you remember Vincent Rhalson? Father decided to 'arrange' a dinner-date between us - can you believe it!"
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "He's very wealthy. You would do well to follow through with that offer," she says.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She folds her arms across her chest and purses her lips. "Hmmph. He is as passionate as a rock".
[blurry89] William Shepard: [Talk] "Lot of that going around." He muses through a plume of smoke.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "I would be so bored with him."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "Truth to told... " She glances down and briefly scuffs a booted foot against the ground. "...part of why I left is because marrying Rhalson is what Father wanted."
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "Now, now," she says like she's talking down to a really little kid. "Some things trump passion.--"
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "Nonsense!" She interjects.
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] Her nose wrinkles, and for a moment she appears to be the petulant child Lysandra is chastising.
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "If you came here in search of passion, I'm afraid you'll be very disappointed."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] She idly waves her left hand. "I came here to... see Faerūn... to see you, my Lizzy."
[very angry goose] Lysandra Blackwell: [Talk] "There's more trouble here than you can shake a stick at and it's colder than Auril's tit."
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] A brilliant smile is then flashed at the taller, dark-haired woman in front of her. "Sounds like fun!"
[FoogooFish] Emiliana Blackwell: [Talk] "When do we get started?"
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to my fun here.
Two years down... a few more to go!
