RP-Valentine Party

[Argo]

Suddenly a thin, wavering voice shouts behind them. "St..st. Stop! Or...or I'll shoot".
The elegantly dressed lady from the markets stands in rich, luxurious fabrics and jewels, dressed for the ball, a small pistol in her hands as she points it toward the motley trio.
Her hands tremble violently and the gun shakes so badly..it flips up with her fumbling and let's a bullet fly madly across the room. Her eyes bulge in fear and dart quickly from face to face..Her lips tremble as she searches for words, steadying the pistol at Veera.
It is almost comical how much the pistol is shaking.

'I..I have..been looking for you..don't force me to shoot..because..because I will, you know..I can and I will" She eyes the pistol bouncing around and looks to the woman...jabbing the gun toward her..."I'm..Im warning you.. "

[Meliva]

Veera rolls her eyes

If you wanna shoot me then shoot me. Unlike you I don't fear death, just know if you manage to kill me, my whole family will be out for your blood. Normally I'd be attempting to kill you right now, but I've been scolded to behave, so I won't.

Veera turns to the woman gives a big, smile and says in her most polite voice

Now how about you put down your gun, tell us your name, and maybe, see if you can convince us not to rob this place blind. Or, shoot me, and then get tackled by my buddies while you reload, and beaten to death. I'm fine either way sweetie.

[Argo]

The lady's eyes dart back and forth, first at the intruders and then the gun which seems to be taking on a life of its own with all that shaking!
"Im..warning you..Im.Im.."

Clearly she has no idea what to do next. Gathering herself together she takes a couple of deep breaths and tries to breathe through it all. 'I..I've been looking for you. I hear we have a common enemy...and I have money...lots of it...you would not need to steal from me...." With each word the gun bobbed up and down more and more, wilder and wilder until another shot fires into the wall behind Veeras head... 'Uh...sorry..uh.."

[Mack]

Owen pulls his pistol, points it at the woman and says.

I dont think thats a good idea to be pointing that gun around lady. i dont see your gaurds anywhere. you should put that thing away before something bad happens

[Meliva]

Veera gently lowers Owens gun with one hand, and with the other she points at the woman's gun and snaps a finger, and it disappears.

Okay, let's not go around shooting-I don't want the guards to be alerted and I'd rather not deal with corpses. If you're willing to simply pay us, then sure-no need for us to rob you. Now how about we get a name from you? As for a common enemy, you need to be more specific. I have many enemies. As does my family. Are you referring to Joro? The local woman who's been killing men? As that's my target for after I get some loot. Damn cousin of mine still hasn't shown up. Otherwise I wouldn't be asking for help from Owen here.

As my auntie always taught me-never go into a fight blind without some backup.

[Argo]

The lady stares wide-eyed at her now empty hands...

Somewhat taken aback she gasps..." And I will tell you and I will give you a decent renumeration for any services you might offer....but..don't do any of that voodooey-witchetty thingy you just did..."

"My quest is with that well known enemy of yours. Joro has a rather large jewel of mine. Claims it is needed for some ritual and its the only one of its kind...My late grandmother left it to me without any mention of its purpose. It was stolen on last Yule Eve and Ive only recently discovered the thief.. So, your legendary reputation precedes you and thought if I could seek you out...together...maybe..?

I cant tell you what Joro may be using it for. I can tell you, I am willing to pay a decent sum for its safe return"
Her hands are shaking and her voice scratchy. A few moments of silence has her holding her breath..."Well?"

[Meliva]

Veera shrugs

no promises on the voodoo, but other then that sure, sounds fine to me. Although, for a woman of wealth, and I'm assuming power and privilege you are rather rude-still no introduction. Should I just refer to you as rich lady? Or Ms. rich? Could always do what my auntie does and just slap a nickname on you. She likes to call me Imp. Don't like that name at all, but sadly it's accurate. Regardless what should we refer to you as Ms?

[Argo]

Well to be honest, I am surprised you don't recognise me..You are standing in my home!

I am the Gov's 2nd youngest daughter..there are 5 of us...I was christened many names however in short...

I do apologise for not introducing myself but the circumstances really didn't really allow for it...
If you think you have a good nickname for me that would be appreciated as I don't want this getting out until we have my jewel back.
I want little trouble for my family and they don't know I have lost it....except for Victoria of course, my younger sister.

My father would be furious if he knew...and you know what a mad man he can be when angered.
You may call me Abby, if you like, it's short for Abigail.

And you? How shall I address you?

[Meliva]

Veera shrugs

I barely keep track of the governors themselves, so of course I wouldn't recognize one of their children. But as for what to call me Veera is fine.

She points to the 2 men near her, one is very small and wiry looking, the other of normal stature

The small fellow is Carl, the other is Brian. They both are helping me out for now. The red headed man over there is Owen. But with introductions finished, I think we should get ready to head on over to handle Joro. Unless anyone has any questions or suggestions before we leave.

[Mack]

Owen holsters his pistol, picks up the bag of silver he gathered.

Ok im ready, im just going to keep this silver as insurance i think.
