• Programmed for Priestessing...

Phoenix snaps his talons. "Drat," and drinks some more of the delicate glass spiral, rubbing his claws over thighs slowly. "Priestess, hmm? Who's she?"

Trilogee gently caws, "That's wonderful, Grace! I'm sure everybody's having a much easier time understanding you, now."

Nikolai chuckles at that. "The clearspeak haunts you!"

Trilogee mock-glares at Nikolai. "Maybe you should take lessons."

Grace click-drums, "It is quite an infection, clearly speaking."

Nikolai raises his eyebrows at Trilogee. "Bah! Understandable I still am, hm yes, why change diction midstream?"

Camilla says, "I'm Camilla. At least... something like Camilla."

You say, "Greetings, something like Camilla. I am assuming Camilla is the usual."

Camilla rubs her shoulder. "You assume incorrectly. This Camilla is very unusual."
