(TFT) SOLO III, 038



Solo III
Demon World
Part 038

Gail has to keep disengaging from Lisa to avoid being hugged. When they stop, Gail and Ada are near the door and Lisa is on the other side of the Table. There, laid out on the lower bunk bead, is Gail's dress.

It's a race to see who can pick up the dress first. There is almost certainly a hair on it, and admiring the dress is as decent an excuse as any. Fortunately as it turns out Gail has a higher DX than Lisa. There is a breif moment where Lisa shoots a dirty look at Gail. It passes and Lisa's smile returns. Here is what we know of Lisa so far.

Lisa
ST
DX 13
IQ
MA 10

Gail
ST  9
DX 16
IQ 20
MA 10 Light, Aid, Trailtwister, Illusion, Reverse Missiles, Freeze, Stone Flesh, Teleport, Megahex Avert, Hammer Touch, Megahex sleep, Long distance Telepathy, Cleansing, Lesser Magic Item Creation, Long Distance Teleport, Wizard's Wrath, Sorceror's Toung(0), Literacy(1), Alchemy(3)

Gail casts a simple illusion just by looking at the dress she is holding up. It has a large fist sized spider suddenly crawling on it. Judging by Lisa's reaction she won't try to touch it again. Lisa looks into Gail's eyes for a bit. Then she steps forward and puts one leg on the table between her and the Girls. "You did that without word or hand, didn't you."
    "Yes."  Says Gail.
"I guess that means you're ready for your own ship. I'll have to trade you up when we reach port."
    "Yes."  Says Gail and Ada in unison.
Lisa takes one of the small bottles dangling from her leather belt in her hand. It has wicked faces carved in it. "Well, just remember. I have eight demon bottles, so don't get any Ideas about taking this ship." She stands and walks to the door, slowly, and back in control. She opens the door, pauses, and speaks over her shoulder. "What are your names?"
    "Gail."  Says Gail.
    "I'm Ada."
Lisa stands there at the door for a moment. She nods. "Gail. Ada. O.k." She leaves the room, pushing the door shut behind her.
