[Twenty Four -Right Through The Eye]

[the_effect_she_has]

Fact - The Gentlemen are here to collect seven hearts. They have three. They will come back tonight for another. We need to move before sunset to find them.

Fact - They have minions who are dressed in straight jackets. I understand one of us has one.

Fact - They have stolen our voices. They must have them somewhere. And knowing these creatures, they probably have them with them.

Fact - One True Voice from a Princess, or someone like a Princess, will kill the Gentlemen. That could be Queen Anne, or Arya, or someone like me. A significant woman. I'm not going to risk Arya or Queen Anne unless we have to, so I am going to try to track them on my own. I am asking for volunteers to go with me, and I am asking any woman here who knows she is an individual of note in their world to come with us, if they can.

Query - Could we let go of the one monster, so we can follow it back to The Gentlemen?

Best keep it on the side of this argument.]

I trust her.

[ Well that's sweet and all but she doesn't know this kid well enough to trust him. Where are the adults with the experience, Jesus. ]

It is kind, but means little to me. Never the less, if she wishes to prove herself she must be permitted a chance, so long as she is willing to defer to one another ahead of her lead, the Ranger-General Windrunner.

[heliotroping]

If either of them want to lead. It doesn't matter. The person who calls the assembly isn't always the leader.

[ensorceler]

[ Damn if only she could sound as cold as she feels at that slight. ]

I call for the most skilled and apt at control I know. If you wish to offer better names, and better ideas, then please do so.

[heliotroping]

[he didn't even mean it...]

I'll think--everyone I tru I'm biased for went home.

[ensorceler]

What skills have you mastered, then?

[heliotroping]

silent movement
hiding in shadows/around corners/walls
throwing patrols off course

swordsmanship
"silent" stun gun

solar magic

[ensorceler]

Then you are, as I say again, suited to assist the Batgirl and whomever shall follow her lead.

[heliotroping]

[He feels a little drained from this argument going around in circles.]

Thank you for your confidence... I will follow whoever--Katniss, Vereesa, Batgirl--decides to lead.

[ensorceler]

They are to lead separate charges. If you wish for stealth, it shall be with Batgirl.

[heliotroping]

Oh, I meant to ask--

Which Batgirl? Many use that name. There was a time when a number of who did came here at once. . .

[ensorceler]

Many?

[ Well fuck. She doesn't want to give away Cassandra's name. ]

She wears black and yellow.

[heliotroping]

I think they all did?

[a pause]

If the one you have in mind is reading this, I'm sure she'll filter to her group.

[ensorceler]

[ NOT TRUE Stephanie wears purple, too! ]

I must seek her out, then, to be sure. My thanks for this share of knowledge.

[heliotroping]

[motif!]

No problem. I hope it prevents confusion later down the road.
