Who: Madame Red and YOU!
When: July 23rd, evening
Where: The plaza, near the coral!
Style: Action to begin with, but willing to do prose.
Status: Open to everyone!

[Angelina wonders if she lost her way in London after Elizabeth Stride. Did she pass out, anyway? She can't remember how she ended up soaking wet in something else than blood... She notices Grell is not around. If she was here, she would be making a scandal of having her red outfit ruined. Angelina's was ruined already anyway.

Fortunately, she still carries a bloody scalpel with her. As she looks around, she realizes she is in a dome underwater. How did she get here, anyway? Where is this place? She can only be wary as she takes a few steps away from the Plaza. Even though her fine clothes are dripping wet, she holds herself in an elegant manner that makes her look sophisticated. Anyone who happens to see her would realize she's an aristocrat. Quite an outdated one, by modern standards, of course. Just before anyone shows up, she manages to stash the scalpel inside her sleeve.]

I mean exactly what I say madam. It was a parting gift.

[Glares at him.]

Did you kill me?

[And the looks of shock appears on her face.]

Why madam! You dare accuse me of causing the end of our relationship? I dare say you need give me grounds on which this falsehood enters your mind!

[Looks at him skeptically.]

Well, I'm quite sure I can't trust what you say. But the truth will come out eventually... I'm just sure I wasn't ready to part with that coat.

Why can't you trust what I say? After all, we were business partners. No, you weren't ready to part with the coat. However you wished to give me something to remember you by and the coat was the one item I could do so. You were reluctant, but in the end you did give it to me.

[No, she still doesn't believe you.]

Why would I have wanted to end our partnership? We were doing well so far...

An incident occurs that makes it difficult for us to continue our partnership. We really were doing well. We were able to fool nearly everyone... [She looks to the side sadly.] Everyone, except for two...

[She sighs. She can guess who those two were. If they happen to have been brought here, she will question them too.]

Well, that has no importance right now.

No... It does not.

Then we shall not linger over that topic for now. But I must say, that coat is too small for you.

Which is why I wear it over my elbows. It's quite a nice style if I do say so myself.

[Smirks.]

Of course you say it yourself, my dear. Otherwise you'd have to accept it doesn't fit you.
