The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

[Estelle Emerison]

"That's not always a bad thing," Estelle replied with a smug, pleased, look. "In moderation anyway. Perhaps... can two of you, ah, front at the same time? Not like this, I can tell who is speaking rather easily, though some of that is experience and foreknowledge, I'm sure."

[Coquette Blacquin]

"Yes," says Coquette in her normal voice -- something close to a blend of Cindy's and Noire's voices. "We can seem as one."

[Estelle Emerison]

"That's incred--" Her eyes widened enough even Claudia would be able to read the shock in them. "Wait, can you both think at the same time? About different things?"

[Coquette Blacquin]

A pause. "...yes? Of course?"

[Estelle Emerison]

"Coquette...s, that's amazing!" Estelle stressed, eyes alight with excitement and... curiosity perhaps? "There are techniques for some paths of spiritualists or symbiotic possession that work to provide that ability but they're either fiendishly difficult or, well, require allowing something to possess you."

[Coquette Blacquin]

"We really are separate people. Seli thinks there's a way to share memories but right now we're all separate."

[Estelle Emerison]

Estelle winced, looking guilty, at Coquette's response. "I-- right, sorry, I shouldn't be..." She waved at herself, trying to encompass all of her actions in the last thirty seconds. "Sorry."

[Coquette Blacquin]

"Oh, no, it's fine. I know this is... strange, to deal with."

[Estelle Emerison]

"New," Estelle corrected Coquette firmly. "You're not strange, you're completely normal for you, it's just new to me."

[Coquette Blacquin]

"If you say so," she laughs. "It's... loud, in here sometimes, when everyone is clamoring to front. I miss the quiet of my own thoughts."

[Estelle Emerison]

Estelle hesitated, her mouth opening slightly twice before she finally went for it. "Have you ever considered learning wizardry?"

[Coquette Blacquin]

"No, but we could try to invent someone who would be a wizard," she jokes. "since we keep making more people after all."

[Estelle Emerison]

"I'm being serious, Cindy. Wizardry is something like ninety percent mental, so it's plausible that one of you could become a wizard during their, ah, downtime?" She waved a hand. "Wizardry requires a lot of studying, but, assuming you have better than decent memory, one of you could be thinking on while the others are doing something else. With the body, I mean. Unfortunately, the way spells are held ready won't allow more than one of you to have them prepared... I think. Almost certain."

[Coquette Blacquin]

"I can't recreate books perfectly in here. They'd have to be the one in control for long periods of time."

[Estelle Emerison]

"It's not always reading books; a lot of the studying is more along the lines of... Methodical contemplation."
