Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
Corinne's home is actually a high-rise building,
looking very professional...like an office building. "Braddock Industries" is
engraved in the front window, and past that, it heads into an elegant,
well-furnished lobby. The bottom floor is all cool blues and soft greens...the
color of the marble tile, the walls, the furntiure. Several plants abound. A
young woman sits behind a large desk, seeming to be a receptionist.
Moira Connolly: Moira arrives promptly dress in her
usual elegant style even when feeling ill. she pauses by the receptionist.
"excuse me i have an appointment with Ms Braddok"
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She looks up and smiles. "Yes...Miss Connelly? Miss Braddock is expecting you."
She points down a hallway, toward an elevator. "Go ahead and head on up."
Moira Connolly: "thank you" she smiles
back and moves to the Elevator stifling a cough with her kerchief as she climbs
in.
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
The elevator begins a quick ascent up, taking them along on a smooth, very quiet
ride. Once it hits the top, the door opens, into a room that seems equal parts
Far Eastern Tea Room and French boudoir. The silks are warm colors...reds,
browns and oranges, with Asian symbols on them. The smell of incense still
lingers, something like Jasmine, or rose perhaps. The bad is large, of course,
but not overly ostentatious. It's actually the simplest part of the room.
There's a table in the center, low to the ground, and pillows to be seated on.
Corinne is standing there, dressed in evening dress, elegant and simple, showing
off her body without being slutty about it. She has no need. Of course, she
looks rather peaked herself, but doesn't seem about to let it destroy her
courtesy. She smiles to Moira and nods. "Miss Connelly...lovely to see you. How
have you been?"
Moira Connolly: She climbs off the
elevator with a smile to Corinne"hello Lady Corinne, it is good to see you and
thank you for responding to my letter. I've been better been worse, and how are
you fairing?"
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She gives a slighter smile at that. "As well as any of us, lately. Tea?"
Moira Connolly: She shakes her head "i've
been just drinking water mostly, its the only thing that seems to help"
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
"Really...interesting." She nods, moving to take a seat on her knees around the
low table. "I will keep that in mind. What do you know of this problem?"
Moira Connolly: "i know it started after
Falke gave me a task to find out about a new Balor in the city in febuary...about
a week after i started getting the cough." she shakes her head
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]: "A
new Balor?" She raises an eyebrow. "Who was this?"
Moira Connolly: She pulls out a letter and
shows it to Corinne "The letter says, in plain writing: "I need you to find out
what you can regarding a Balor within the City. We are not quite sure where he
is. You will know him by black eyes."
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She takes the letter, reading it quickly. "I see." She frowns slightly and hands
it back. "Have you found them?"
Moira Connolly: She shakes her head "no
i haven't and then a few months ago those slime things appeared..." she frowns
"their stench make me feel worse."
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
"What...slime things?" She frowns. "Forgive me...I have largely sequestered
myself within my home, with the exception of public events I cannot avoid." A
coughing fit strikes her. It seems to be...somewhat more severe then Moira's.
She has to take a few moments once it's done to regain her composure.
Moira Connolly: She nods her head sneezing
a bit with an anoyed sigh. "well these has been the slug like smile things, i
haven't had a chance to look into them...they really made their presence known
with a chrysialis of another Sidhe...who i last say at the home of a ((Dirge's
sidhe's)
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She puts a hand on her chest, frowning deeply. "I see. I shall have to inquire
of Mister Finnegan, then." She pauses. "It is interesting that you say this
started when you were sent after a Balor. Lady Alsun's Balor consort has not
been affected, last I had heard."
Moira Connolly: "the one with the white
hair?" she looks to her.
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]: "I
believe so, yes." She nods. "This was by Lady Alsun's own admittance...I have
not seen him to confirm this."
Moira Connolly: "well i know the one
that used to be here and known for a while, its wasn't him i was searching. "
she pauses trying to remember the name
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]: "Ahh...no,
I wasn't suggesting they were the same person, just noting the timing of
searching out a Balor, and that another is unaffected. I doubt it is
coincidence."
Moira Connolly: "Well I know Lord Kenneth
is a good man, both confrimations from Lady Alsun and my own Mentor." she sighs/
"i really feel there something the nameless, Falke...there is much connected...
i heard a rumor he has it worse..." she pauses "i remember hearing a really wet
cough the night of the chrysialsis"
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She nods...her face takes on a surprising amount of concern. Perhaps even worry
for Falke. "I see..."
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
"I believe I will attempt to locate Mister Falke."
She says it almost distractedly, biting lightly on her lower lip. "It would not
do for him to be in such a bad way and isolating himself while we are facing
this crisis."
Moira Connolly: "Do you know anything
about Falke?" she tiles her head.
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
"Only that he has been struck particularly hard. It seems to be affecting we
elder Sidhe stronger. And that he has not been seen recently."
Moira Connolly: She frowns shakeing her
head "yes we should help each other"
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She nods, hacking again into a handkerchief. "Agreed. I will attempt to locate
Falke...perhaps you can attempt to seek out this Balor again, or speak with Lady
Alsun's consort to see if he may shed light on why he is not affected?"
Moira Connolly: She starts to couch and
reaches for some water. nodding her head "please be careful with Falke" she
frowns.
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She frowns a bit. "I would do nothing that would endanger him, I can promise you
that."
Moira Connolly: "i don't mean that" she
bite her lower lip.
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
"Nor do I think he will be a danger to me." She says it with a particular amount
of certainty. She pauses, before adding. "I...appreciate the concern, however."
Moira Connolly: She nods her head
sneezing a few time. "we need to get to this soon, people constantly ask me why
i'm not getting better"
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She nods. "I will, of course, make it a priority."
Moira Connolly: "i wonder if it is
connected with those slugs" she frowns.
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
"Perhaps." She nods a bit. "That can be something we can look upon next."
Moira Connolly: "i remember Stevie turned
one to stone or something to keep it from running away..."she looks to Corinne
"we may need their help"
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]: "Stevie...ahh.
The Pooka." She frowns. "Yes, perhaps."
Moira Connolly: She nods her head "they
know more about the slugs than i do"
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She nods. "I see. Well...if we come to that bridge, we will cross it, of
course."
Moira Connolly: "is there anyone we know
with soothsay?" she looks to her.
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]: "I
do not know anyone with it." She shakes her head. "Perhaps one of the Commoners
may."
Moira Connolly: "i'll try braving it" she
looks ot her "although i doubt they would want to help us"
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She nods. "Unlikely...but if we need to go that far, then it would not hurt to
check."
Moira Connolly: she nods her head "any
other ideas?" (i need to get going for a few hours.)
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
She shakes her head. "Not immediately. If I do think of anything further, I
shall of course let you know." [[Cool cool]]
Moira Connolly: (do you want to pause
or fade?)
Corinne Braddock [Braddock Industries]:
[[Think this is a good spot to fade...gives them both things to do. :) Thanks
for the scene!]]
