Nikolai was either ridiculously brave or ridiculously stupid to stick his finger in the barrel of Alice’s gun. Knowing her sister, Adelaide had no doubt that if the right mood struck her Alice would have blown his finger off right there in the throne room. It seemed, however, that Alice was in a forgiving mood. Or perhaps she was more intrigued by this little creature thing that Latrell fellow had. Either way, Adelaide blew a kiss at Nikolai as he winked at the two of them.

It was then that she heard the big man respond to her and Adelaide met his stare, her own dark grin appearing as she looked at him. Something almost sinister flashed in her eyes for a brief moment, but before she could even respond she heard the Queen's voice. She turned to give her full attention to the woman now, silently scoffing as Maeve seemed to chastise them for not showing her proper respect. If she wished for respect then she should have been paying more attention to her people and the troubles they’ve had with these monsters sooner. Perhaps then far less would be taken in the middle of the night and left to fates that were unspeakable.

Adelaide did take note of the task at hand, mind trying to work out just what exactly this reptilian monster would be. She had a few ideas in her head, but perhaps she’d discuss it with Alice and see what she thought would be the most likely option. It was the last tidbit of information that sent a moment of panic and irritation through her. They were to work in a team. It wouldn’t just be her and Alice, they’d have to work with others. So far she doubted anyone here was going to be thrilled about this nor did she think any of them knew how to play nice.

Alice took a slip of paper and Adelaide took one right after. She glanced over at her sister’s number first before looking at her own. [i][color=slategray]No…no fucking way…yeah this isn’t happening…[/color][/i] She thought to herself as she saw the number two on her slip while Alice had one. No, this wouldn’t do at all. She half ignored Nikolai as he called for all number ones to meet him over in a direction, but then she realized she could kiss him for doing that as she watched people start heading in his direction. All she needed to do was convince one of these fuckers to switch her numbers.

She spotted her prey, a man she’d seen that morning at the same inn her and Alice were staying at. They ate breakfast near each other, hopefully he wouldn’t give any issues to swapping numbers. [color=slategray]”Hey I see you got group one, so did my sister yet I unfortunately got group one. Switch?”[/color] She would at least [i]try[/i] and be civil at first. That method was going quickly out the window, however, as she watched the man look her over quite blatantly and smirk. [color=orange]”Depends, what am I getting in return?”[/color] A quick assessment of this brute and Adelaide had formulated a plan.

[color=slategray]”Well I suppose I can give you the antidote to the slow acting poison I placed in your eggs this morning. I was planning on using you as an experiment to see if I got my formulation right or not, but I suppose I could use that on someone else.”[/color] She said with a sigh and watched as confusion spread across his face for a moment. He opened his mouth, but she continued to speak. [color=slategray]”By the way, how was that pale ale you had with breakfast this morning? Hopefully it was a worthy last meal?”[/color] She watched his eyes widen as he realized it wasn’t a lucky guess and began to question the validity of what she said. She began walking in the direction of group two, but he quickly called out for her to stop. She smirked to herself before turning to look at him again.

[color=orange]”Fine, here. Give me that antidote as well.”[/color] He said as he practically threw the paper at her. She handed him her paper as she thanked him before turning to walk towards her sister. [color=orange]”Hey! Wait! What about the cure?!”[/color] He shouted after her and she shrugged at him. [color=slategray]”I’m sorry, but I’m afraid there’s no cure for gullibleness and idiocy.”[/color] The dumbfounded look on his face was one she would cherish for a while as she now joined the number one group.

She approached as the brute seemed to be saying something about not enough muscle to open a locked door. [color=slategray]”Of course you wouldn’t be intelligent enough to realize you don’t always need muscle to open a locked door.”[/color] She sighed before turning her attention to the redhead. His words had her smirking and letting out a small giggle. At least he seemed to be willing to try and work with them and make a plan.

[color=slategray]”While team lizard fuck would be the easier option for me, my sister and I have dealt with our fair share of bruja in our life. I do well working from the shadows and remaining undetected so I can be on team witch bitch. I at least kinda know what to expect there while this guardian lizard is a potential wildcard.”[/color] She offered up, at least trying to work with these people.
