Thread: Deception :: The Goddesses Descent. [Karameida x Ashiaka]

Naomi Stalbridge Nanaja Alice Marscen Viscountess St.Angel The above are links to the respective character images. Naomi pursed her lips, Freya was right and she knew it. She didn't have to like it but there wasn't anything to do about it. Naomi was not a creature accustomed to having to wait patiently, she was one of action. She tapped her fan against her hand in an unlady like show of impatience for a moment before letting it drop to dangle from her wrist once more. Oh the things she would do when she finally got her fingers round the one responsible for framing them. She might not have her powers anymore but she still had her memories and her imagination and that's all she really needed to cause anyone serious harm. Not to mention the things she would to Tiamat when she finally got her god-hood back. She had to wonder what exactly that wretched woman had been thinking, putting on such a disgusting display of drama for all the pantheons to see. It was as if she had been trying to shame them. She didn't really understand the need for such theatrics. Sure, if someone had desecrated her temple and stolen an item that was sacred to her that she'd have demanded retribution as well but she'd have never put it all out in public like Tiamat had done. A heated blush colored her cheeks when she remembered the humiliation. Yes, she'd also pay back Tiamat for shaming her so openly like that. Naomi shook her head slightly coming out of her violent thoughts. Was no use thinking about such things right now, it would make the waiting that much harder to endure and she really did not need that. It was unbearable enough as it was. She barely registered what Freya was saying something about two people getting together or some such nonsense. Even without her powers the woman could still spot a match-up from a mile away. Naomi on the other hand was able to sense the beginnings of a good fight about to start between two people. All they'd need was a good outside push and she was always willing to give that push. However she had to refrain from doing that since she could no longer disappear at will. Normally it was something that would have certainly taken the edge off of the whole situation but now just seemed to make the blade of boredom sharper. Naomi had watched Freya being led onto the dance floor by an endless stream of admirers and mentally sighed at least one of them was enjoying themselves. Though she imagined the goddesses would have enjoyed going home with them as well. It was a bit out of the question at this point and time though. If Naomi had wanted, she could easily have taken any one of the members of the ton as her paramour. It was considered fashionable after all. But it wasn't something she wanted, she rather thought it might make the situation that much more complicated and that was something their situation did not need. Naomi turned her head quickly and stared at Freya blinking in rapid succession. Had she heard correctly? Wha--- Naomi, Freya, there you are! You both look stunning tonight as usual. a warm friendly voice broke in saving Naomi from an answer. Naomi turned her head and offered up a smile There you are Alice, I was beginning to wonder if you'd ever show. she said genuinely relieved. And miss this? I should think not! she said coming over to them. I hope I did not hear Ms. Duvall ask Ms. Stalbridge to dance. That would be simply scandalous . she said jokingly, laughter lighting up her blue eyes. Alice was a fair person with light brown hair, brilliant blue eyes, full lips and pale skin. Her looks alone warranted a second look but what really drew the eye was the inner warmth that the Viscountess exuded. The Viscountess was only nineteen years old, her husband twenty seven. They were fairly close in age considering some of the other match ups and she was happy with her marriage. How have you been, Alice? she asked grabbing a glass of champagne from a waiter as he passed by. I am well. Thank you for asking. she said eying Naomi curiously. Naomi remained silent a moment longer taking a few small drinks from her warm champagne. I was wondering if you and your husband might be able to help me Freya. she said casting a furtive glance in Freya's direction. Alice's eyebrows raised slightly With what? she asked glancing between the two women. You see, something was recently stolen and we were wondering if you and your husband might be able to find it. Or find any clues or rumors about it. she said choosing her words carefully. Alice didn't know who they truly were but she had a lot of connections as did her husband and they could use the St. Angels help. She just had to be careful on how she worded things. Is it valuable? she asked furrowing her brows. Ah, well yes. It is very valuable. You see, the thing is we inherited it from a distant relation. She had a few odd rumors about it but nothing substantial.... she said hesitating slightly. Well? What is it? she asked urging Naomi on. Well she claimed it was the golden heart of Abzu and belonged to the primordial goddess of chaos and water, Tiamat. she said clearing her throat slightly. Alice remained silent for awhile while she stared at each woman. Akkadian? she finally asked in a soft voice. Naomi just nodded her head. What exactly do you want me and my husband to do? Alice asked in a hushed whisper. Mostly just tell of us any odd rumors that come up about the heart, or Tiamat or anything that seems to be odd and connected with any ancient civilizations and more so with their deities. she said. Anything else? she asked with an arched brow. Naomi thought for a moment but shook her head. Not that I can think of. Perhaps Freya can. she said turning to face the Norse goddess.
