The sable staggered drunkenly into the hall and collapsed into a chair. She had been testing herb potions on herself, and they worked. Now she was reeling - all for the lack of a decent victim. She hadn't been able to trick anyone into drinking her potions. Her persuading powers wern't as good as she would have liked them to be.

She glared groggily around the hall. Hmm, she wasn't exactly ready to fight off someone. She sighed. Sometimes her potions were a little too effective. Martes Zibellina 18:59:42 10/03/04 Sun

Re: A fox in the corner watched her with brilliant amber eyes, rich golden fur shining dully in the dark corner.* -- Karana Silverblade, 20:06:06 10/03/04 Sun

She took a gulp of water from her canteen and settled deeper into the chair. A nap, perhaps, would be nice. She smiled. Martes 08:19:27 10/04/04 Mon

After a few seconds of resting, the sable closed her eyes, just leaving them open a crack so she could watch the hall for unwelcome guests. Satin 07:12:59 10/05/04 Tue

Re: *the fox walked out from the corner towards the sabel. She sits down next to her and says in her clear voice* Hello. I'm Karana Silverblade -- Karana Silverblade, 18:55:10 10/07/04 Thu

**An ermine had walked in shortly after the sable, she was clad in a blue tunic and a dark blue cloak, which seemed to complement her pale cream fur. There was a small pouch hanging from her belt, but the only weapon to be seen was a slim dagger sheathed at her side. Her eyes of palest green watched the sable in curiousity. The sable wasn't looking too sharp. It was almost as though she had been administered a potion of some sort. A strange sort of smile twitched at the ermine's lips and she walked over to join the fox and sable. She spoke softly, the strange expression still on her face as she studied the sable.** "Guid day to ya booth, mahnd if ah join ya?" Meradryn Keelsun 00:05:52 10/08/04 Fri

Satin stared about suspiciously. Two other creatures - not good. She had a desire to drug them, but how? "Sure...you can jahn me," she muttered, her voice thick. No more taking her own potions, she scolded herself. Bad girl, bad sable... She shook her head gently, clearing it. Satin 07:55:16 10/08/04 Fri

**The smile twitched once more at the ermine's lips as the sable's voice came out slurred. This could provide a wonderful spot of entertainment. She sat down smoothly, trying to figure out just what was wrong with the beast.** "Did soom beastie drug ya lassie?" Meradryn Keelsun 22:09:35 10/08/04 Fri

Satin glares at her. Her head has cleared a little and her speech is not so slurred as the potion, which she drank about twenty minutes ago, begins to wear off. She snarls, "Wahl, I drank it miself because I didn't have no one ta feed it to. Ah'm not supposed to be here anywayz!" Her gaze sharpens angrily. Meradryn had lighted on a touchy subject with Satin, and half-drugged or not, she could still use her own flaming powders and poisons. Satin 09:22:59 10/09/04 Sat

**The ermine smiled this time, amused. She had decided that she liked this sable. She leant her elbows down on the table, the amusement clear on her face. The sable's anger didn't bother her at all. What was the worst the beast could do? Poison her?** "Drank et yoorself? Interestin' that. Ah've done similar mahself, though fer different reasons o' course..." **At that she began to finger one of the scars on the inside of her forearms. On closer inspection there were rather a lot of them, both old and new. The one she traced a finger along was fresh and looked red and puffy. She half-glanced up again and asked an unexpected question.** "What've ya got? Ah might drink et if ya want..." Meradryn Keelsun 18:54:47 10/09/04 Sat

"Very funny," Satin snorted. "What do you want to drink?" Satin 09:31:37 10/10/04 Sun

**The ermine raised an eyebrow as Satin snorted and let the moment pass. The smile that had been on her face may have belied her true meaning, but her last question had been serious. She settled back in her chair and thought for a moment.** "A nice glass o' dark plum wine would do me wonders ah believe." Meradryn Keelsun 23:37:51 10/10/04 Sun

Satin couldn't believe what she was hearing. But still she smiled coldly and told Meradryn, "If you want wine you can always get some at the bar. Don't tempt me." Satin 11:48:07 10/11/04 Mon

**This was actually turning out to be quite fun.** "Ah, coom on, yoor lettin' that wee potion o' yourn get the better o' ya. Suit yoorself." **She stood to get herself something.** "Anything ya want?" Meradryn Keelsun 17:09:24 10/11/04 Mon

"Red wine," Satin muttered. Then she turned to stare at Meradryn sharply. "Just to let you know, I'm a poisoner." She waqved her arms in the air. "Do not let your drinks by me!" she yammered, emphasizing each word. -- Satin, 07:32:58 10/12/04 Tue

**She nodded and then waved an arm dismissively as Satin made her last comments.** "Weel, that's nice, but aren't we all lassie?" **She wandered over to the bar and got the drinks, nodding aimably to the bar keep. Coming back she set the red wine down by Satin. Taking her own cup, she performed her usual pre-drink ritual of sniffing it and then running a finger around the rim of the cup and then taking a delicate sip. Everything seeming to her satisfaction she leant back in her chair again and began to slowly drain the cup.** "So, bin a poisoner fer a while eh?" Meradryn Keelsun 20:49:38 10/12/04 Tue

"Not too long, but I learn quick," Satin said, carefully inspecting her own drink. Satin 07:45:08 10/13/04 Wed

"Guid fer yoo then. 'Tis a tricky business from what ah hear. I would nae call mahself a poisoner exactly but thair's plenty the beastie that would disagree with that." Meradryn Keelsun 16:58:06 10/13/04 Wed

Satin looked up, mildly interested. "You're in the poisoner trade, sort of?" she asked, eyes glinting. -- Satin, 15:32:38 10/15/04 Fri

"Weel, sort of aye. Ah'm an apothecary bah trade, and a part-time coroner when et takes mah fancy. Poisonin's not really mah thing, though et seems ta be yoors." **She wasn't the type to actually do the poisoning, well for the most part. If things got too boring she had a tendancy to liven things up by trying to poison some-beast.** Meradryn Keelsun 22:34:31 10/16/04 Sat

"Mmm." Satin stared at her drink, swishing the wine gently around the cup. Satin 06:15:03 10/17/04 Sun

"Och, ah would nae worry yoorself, there's nought wrong with being a poisoner in mah books. So, do ya come from 'round here?" **The ermine was quite relaxed, she was having a pleasant evening by all accounts.** Meradryn Keelsun 04:12:31 10/18/04 Mon

"No, not exactly," Satin said, annoyed by the ermine's tone. Not that Mera was being annoying - she was just irritated. Satin 18:07:40 10/18/04 Mon

**She holds out her paws placatingly.** "Weel, sorry to offend ya lassie. No harm inteded, an innocent question aye?" Meradryn Keelsun 22:12:39 10/19/04 Tue

"No," Satin mumbled. Finally she relaxed and leaned back in the chair. "Do you know of any good sleeping drugs?" she asked. "I'm looking for some new ones." -- Satin, 04:02:13 10/20/04 Wed

**Well, if the sable didn't want to say where she was from that was fine. The ermine didn't really mind, she just found that it was a question that often got beasts talking. She leant forward in interest as Satin seemed to relax.** "That would depend now wouldn't et? Ah ken plenty of drugs but with sleeping et depends what exactly yoo want et foor aye? Were yoo hoping to render some beastie comatose, knock them oot for a few hours, a few minutes, or did yoo mean somewhat to just help a beasite sleep of a night?" Meradryn Keelsun 21:53:35 10/20/04 Wed

"Knockout!" the sable replied gleefully. "Need more tranquilizer-type stuff." Satin 10:06:23 10/21/04 Thu

Re: *Karana stands straight as she heard the word Poison.* I know a bit 'bout poison. M'blades are poisoned. -- Karana Silverblade, 21:01:35 10/21/04 Thu

Satin turns in her chair. "Lookit!" she says, smiling. "Another poisoner. So what poisons do you use, miss?" Satin 07:05:26 10/22/04 Fri

Re: *shruggs* Any poison I can get m'paws on to use on my blades. I like the deadly kinds, that kill instantly. N'need to call me miss, I'm Karana Silverblade. -- Karana Silverblade, 22:01:54 10/22/04 Fri

"Know the names of your poisons?" Satin asked. "I need to know what type of plant you use. Know any?" Satin 07:47:51 10/23/04 Sat

Re: Nope. I jest pick any I can get me paws on! I'm no proffesional on them. -- Karana Silverblade, 10:16:51 10/23/04 Sat

"Ohhhh," the sable murmured sarcastically. "Just anything you get your paws on, huh." Satin 10:45:34 10/23/04 Sat

Re: Yeah. *she says quietly,* yep. *she gets up and leaves twoards the corner where she was before. -- Karana Silverblade, 19:37:17 10/24/04 Sun

((OOC: Sorry, been really busy with assignments)) **The ermine watched as Karana came over and professed to know about poisons. The smile that had been hovering about her lips returned. Now, that was a beast who she could do business with. She looked back at the sable, answering her question.** "Ah'd recommend Mandrake and Henbane, they oft work well in combination with a few other things. Though ah can nae give ye all mah recipies, got to make a living ya ken." Meradryn Keelsun 23:37:22 10/26/04 Tue
