You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”

((How do you respond?))

Margot initially grimaces at the hag's appearance, button nose wrinkling with blatant disgust. Under further introspection, the Adunian regarded the woman with a plastic smile, interpreting her greeting with the grand delusional lens she often saw the world through. ".. Me? Um.. Yeah! Yeah, oh my god, it's been ages.." She began, bluffing, "You.. You're looking great, by the way. Is that a new wart on your chin? Augh, moles are /so/ the rage these days." Her incessant waffling trailed off until something coherent and mildly relevant tumbled past her painted lips, "Well, you know this already, I'm sure. - But I've just swept in from Vienne to set up my modiste in the Duchy of Adria! You see, there isn't much appreciation for true haute couture where I'm from so I /had/ to just get out of that drag fest, you know? Orenfolk and, like, Adunians in particular are /so/ 'if-your-ankles-are-on-display-you're-damned-for-all-eternity' and I'm just, like.. so over that. So, I grew up in that hell and now, I'm young, I'm hot, I'm single and I'm, like, just ready to be a self-made businesswoman of the modern age!" She blinked, clearly not a thought between her two eyes however where she lacked wit, she made up for in salesmanship, "You know, you'd look /so hot/ in a feather boa. I have one that would go with your eyes /perfectly/, augh. For that alone, I will give you 8% off. An absolute bargain, babe. Let me just -" And with that, all productive conversation was drawn to a sparkly end as the Adunian went searching through her trunks for the perfect accessory.
