The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

[NPCs]

~Whoever else I've been talking to, at a guess.~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~It's only been me here.~

[NPCs]

~And how many people does  ~me' include?~ Perhaps surprisingly, Seli sounds faintly amused by the invasions and denials. 

She-- they?-- sound like my two trying to weasel out of chores.

[Coquette Blacquin]

~wh.... what?~

[NPCs]

~How many people are Coquette? Or answer to Coquette at times, I should add.~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~I... I don't... what?~

~Enough,~ says an imperious voice. ~There's no honor in maintaining this charade when we have been well and truly found out.~

~Sorry, Cindy,~ comes a faint whisper. ~Should I go?~

[NPCs]

Okay, that's more than I... okay. ~May I have introductions? If that's too much, too fast, that's fine, but it would make it a little easier for me to... to avoid being confused.~

[Coquette Blacquin]

The imperious one: ~I am Coquette Blacquin.~

The regular-sounding one: ~To keep things simple, we call her Noire. I am Cindy Black.~

~....the only name I've known... is Sweetheart.~

Cindy: ~There are at least three others. Little Bitch, Cedric -- who has gone missing -- and one more I do not wish to speak of. ~

[NPCs]

~Little--~ There's the sound of a throat clearing (or perhaps just the impression of one), then, ~apologies. Thank you, all of you, for offering me this trust. And, as I'm not sure whom I've spoken to as yet; I am Joyous Seline, but please, call me Seli if you're comfortable doing so.~

[Coquette Blacquin]

Cindy ignores the introduction: ~It's a compliment. Bitch as in a female wolf, not a nasty woman.~

[NPCs]

~Oh! I see. Little Bitch as in 'Wolf who is small and female' as opposed to 'Female who is weak and unimportant.' Thank you for explaining,~ Seli sends back warmly. ~Are there any other meanings behind your names?~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~Not really? Noire is elven for Black, she's full drow so her skin is dusky. Um, inside my head, when we imagine her.~ 

[NPCs]

~Imagine her? Ah, so there's no manifestations occurring? Bodily or separately?~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~What? No. You can do that?~

[NPCs]

~Me? No, not at all!~ Seli sends back with a soft laugh. ~But yes, there are some who have learned-- or were born or influenced-- into being able to do such things. It depends on the nature and... origin of your individual beings. For instance, I've worked with a healer in the past who can manifest a... spiritual echo of her husband, who died decades ago. Even when manifested, she can speak and interact with him, but he's not truly a person in his own right. To be clear, I'm not saying that such is the case for you all.~
