Charlotte shrugged at Valkira's question, saying: [color=ed1c24][b]"I'm just trying to overthrow my dad. Nothing big,"[/b][/color] as if that was, actually, one hundred percent a totally normal reason to be traipsing through the countryside and burning villages down by accident. Smiling, she would wrap her arm around Valkira's shoulder, leaning in close and saying: [color=ed1c24][b]"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone back home. In faaaact...if you help me out, I'll get you TONS of promotions. How does being captain of the royal guard sound?"[/b][/color]

Nimoa would return after several minutes, proudly holding up a map as her tiny bat wings flapped away behind her. [color=6ecff6][b]"I found a map to the alchemist's house! And pepper spray in case that mean lady tries to grab me again,"[/b][/color] the pale vampire would say proudly, using the map to shield herself from the sun. Looking at Charlotte acting all chummy with Valkira, and seeing the nervous expression on her friends' face made her realize what was going on...this lady was another vampire hunter! Wasting no time, Nimoa would run forward, swinging her bat-pack and slamming it into Charlotte's face, knocking her flat on her behind. 

[color=ed1c24][b]"W-What the!?"[/b][/color] Charlotte questioned, bewildered as the bag was pulled away, only for the tiny, adorable little vampire girl to be looming over Charlotte, a red canister in her hand. [color=ed1c24][b]"Oh, wow, you really are cut-AHHHHHHHHH"[/b][/color] Charlotte would say, then scream out as she was peppersprayed in the face. Multiple times. Trying to roll away, she would try to get as far away from the girl as possible while Nimoa chased her, shaking the can. [color=6ecff6][b]"DON'T BULLY MY FRIENDS! GET BACK HERE! I'M GONNA MAKE YOU REGRET EVER EXISTING!"[/b][/color]

After some time, and someone eventually clarifying that Charlotte was NOT in fact someone trying to kill her and her friends, Nimoa would begrudgingly apologize. [color=6ecff6][b]"...Sorry..."[/b][/color] she said, pouting intensely. She thought she was helping.

Practically blinded from pepper spray, Charlotte would give a thumbs up. [color=ed1c24][b]"Ish'okay..."[/b][/color] she said, face stained a bit red from the constant spray. She couldn't stay mad at Nimoa for being cute.

After a series of introductions, each member of the party got formally introduced to one another. More awkward silence would pass as they reached the town's exit, while Charlotte looked like she was moping. Since when did some random child's quest overwrite her big important main story quest!? This was an outrage! But...she was so dang cute. Just imagining her big red eyes soaked over with tears made Charlotte want to die. Just a little. Regardless, with a new parasol in hand Nimoa would find the sun nothing more than a slight inconvenience as she checked the map. Pointing at it as she showed Tristan and the others, she would set them off on their journey to Grinsgy's Hollow, home of one of the most renowned alchemists in all the land.

As well as the largest lichyard on the continent. 

Literally.

Like, old retired liches lived here, apparently. 

Watching from the bushes with sticks tied to her head, Ariette would giggle to herself, watching the party from behind. [color=CC6699][b]"Mmmhmhm...Charlotte won't know what hit her,"[/b][/color] she whispered, before casting a long range Message spell.

[color=CC6699][i]"Tamara? They're going to the big lichyard. Time to spook them."[/i][/color]
