>>5694631You remember something from the spy stories you read - that a spy's most important thing is their own network of people. In other words, friends! Which is kinda something you have done with spirits, but not so much with real people. Anyways, you also remember how both your aunts in Far Avalon like to gossip among each other, so you definitely gonna hafta get the attention of those two giggling girls.
How does it go in the novels, again? First, the fingerguns, then The Look, then -
"Hello, ladies!" you utter with solid confidence.
You don't know if it worked or not, but it definitely did something to the girls, because now they're shrieking. Hopefully in joy.
"Didja see that?! So cool!" The frizzy-haired one energetically commented.
"No waaay! Omigawd reeeally?" The catlike one says, with awe in her voice.
Uhh now what? Should you just - oh gob, they've stopped shrieking and started approaching rapidly. "Hey hey! Wotchername, cool boi? Mine's Tanner!" The frizzy-haired one said.
"And I'm, um, Nyatsume. Say, who was that with you just now?"
"She's - "
"Whatcha doing here in Oss-oo-ary?"
"I'm - "
"What's your favourite color?" "Where'd you come from?" "When did you arrive?"
Oh no, they're starting to ask too many questions! You haven't even got the time to answer them, let alone ask a question of your own! The commotion also drew some spectators - the big girl left the wall, and the Tmavy Les kid's scooched over to your side.
"H-hold on, one at a time! One at a time! I'm Craig Snorlison, by the way! Oh, a-and I gotta ask you a question for each time you asked one! Souds good?" They nod. Good thing they've also stopped the rapid-fire questions. You were starting to get overwhelmed!
