Name Nickname Charlotte McCabe Charlie Attire White off-the-shoulder peasant top, brown leather corset with clockwork design, brown pants, brown leather boots, goggles. Weapon Knife sheathed on her left hip. Location The Slums of Inalt inside one of the shops. Tagging Anyone Kelly NPC. Time September 1, 2650 Later afternoon. Charlie was thankful to be inside the shop and, quite honestly, she didn't want to leave it. The idea of going back outside hardly appealed though she knew she'd have to eventually. Her legs felt like lead as she trudged through the shop and searched the shelves for the last remaining items her father wished for her to find. She hoped she wouldn't have to go anywhere else because quite frankly she was done for the day. She'd had quite enough excitement for one day and didn't wish for any more. The fact that she still had to go back through the Slums was enough as far as she was concerned. And, whether it was paranoia or something else, she could swear someone was out there watching her. Outside, Kelly stood against one of the buildings, his back leaning against it. He could see the spitfire red-head inside meandering about and he found her to be quite curious. She definitely had attitude for one so nervous and paranoid. He could see the emotions rolling about on her face as she walked through the shop and it delighted him to no end. It half made him want to take off his mask, just so he could get a better look. But he didn't dare. Not out in the open. Finally, Charlie found what she was looking for and a wave of relief washed over her entirely. She was elated to have found what she needed. Perhaps now this dreadful afternoon could come to an end. As she picked up her things she went to the shop's front to pay, but she let out a sad sigh when she saw the line she needed to wait in in order to pay for her items. Name Nickname Mathilda Molloy Mattie Attire White short-sleeve peasant top, brown leather corset, pink lace handless gloves, olive green and white skirt showing off leg in the front with a brown leather belt, pink lace garters, olive green and pink striped stockings, brown leather boots. Weapon Knife sheathed on her left hip. Location The Slums of Inalt heading home. Tagging Anyone Conrad NPC. Time September 1, 2650 Later afternoon. Mattie did her best to hide her purse as she made her way into the Slums. She knew better than to flaunt money or anything extravagant out in the open, especially in a place such as that where you were more likely to get robbed... or worse. Carefully, she hid her purse underneath her flowers, making sure her knife was in view and within easy reach. She'd found it was always good for people to know that a woman wasn't afraid to be armed. Humming a little and walking with confidence, Mattie made her way into the Slums and began walking through the streets toward her tiny, ramshackle of a home. It wasn't much, but it was a roof over her head and walls that kept out the elements, not to mention most dangers that lurked the streets. She didn't notice the man watching her as she walked, his grin sinister and dripping with menace as she passed him by. Conrad licked his lips as he watched Mattie casually pass as if he wasn't even there. But that was exactly as he'd wanted it. He didn't want her to be any the wiser. Catching her unawares was what he he had in mind and he'd be sure to strike just when she was nearly home. Oh poor girl, just when she'd think she was in the clear. He chuckled again as his eyes looked over her. She had no idea what was coming. Mmm... yes, this was going to be sweet indeed.
