In front of PENROSE TOWN HALL, a TAXI had just arrived at the curb.

After paying the driver their due, you exit the cab. While it would have been slightly more dramatic to step out in HIGH HEELS, you're of the opinion that FLATS are a FAR MORE SENSIBLE OPTION in your line of work.

You coolly brush yourself off before making your way into the building. As you walk through PENROSE TOWN HALL, your thoughts naturally shift to WHY YOU'RE HERE. This CINDY FORD whose message you heard earlier... while you weren't sure about whether she deserves the title of QUEEN OF PENROSE, YOUR LORD thought it would be good idea to at least hear her out, and perhaps propose an ALLIANCE.

At the very least, you're comforted by the fact that you are here as his REPRESENTATIVE, after convincing him not to appear PERSONALLY. YOUR LORD's GOOD HEART is a DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD. While he would rather not RISK THE LIVES OF HIS FOLLOWERS for his own sake, he is still very receptive to your COUNSEL.

You make your way up the ACCESS STARIWELL to the ROOF. Your steps echo around you as you ASCEND.

You open the door, and on a first glance it seems as though NOBODY IS HERE. Good thing you prepared for a bit of waiting. Reaching into your purse, you calmly remove the bundled form of a PORTABLE STOOL, and set it down near the center of the roof. Perhaps it was a tad cliche, but these 'magical girls' seemed to thrive on dramatic gestures. 

You look around once more and...

Well. It's not like you didn't see this coming.

"Hellay," greets a CAMPER.

You calmly wave a gloved hand in their direction. It appears that SALMACIS was the only FEAR who thought to send a REPRESENTATIVE, at least one who happens to be waiting at the same time as you are for their audience. Unfortunately, it looks as though you're going to need A LOT OF CAREFUL WORD CHOICES whenever Cindy Ford arrives. Camper are far more dangerous than most people give them credit for.

Apparently, the Camper acting as the MOUTHPIECE of Salmacis for the impending audience ISN'T IN A CHATTY MOOD. They seem content to sit there in a KIDDIE POOL, halfway submerged in CLEAR LIQUID. Given the lack of any obvious water sources, it's almost guaranteed to be FILLED WITH SALMACIS' INK. 

You casually adjust yourself so that you can keep an eye on this Camper, though you doubt it'll move until Cindy Ford arrives.

You've got a PURSE full of GUN, a HEART full of RESOLVE, and two GLOVES full of TREEFINGERS. What will you do?

Well, the only thing you can at this point: Wait.
