“Hi girls.  I just wanted to let you know, it’s all clear up top.  Milahme was taken away without incident.” – Bhusaran

“Please tell me after what happened with Katherine that Ubergard has gone along too!” – Muz-Ra

“Yes, and Lydia is with them too.” – Bhusaran
“Excellent.  Oh, hi Blue!” – Muz-Ra
“I’m off to tell some others.  See you later Katherine, Red!” – Bhusaran
“See you later Bhusaran!” – Katherine

“Katherine, I don’t think you’ve met Blue yet.  Shes our resident introvert.” – Muz-Ra
“Oh, Hi!  Glad to meet you Blue.  Named for the outfit?” – Katherine
“Yeah.  And I guess some people think I’m the opposite of Red.” – Blue
“Oh?  How’s that?” – Katherine

“She’s shy.  Won’t show any scales.  She stays in that latex from dawn to dusk.  I sometimes wonder if she even takes it off to go to the bathroom!” – Muz-Ra
“…” – Blue
“Sort of an odd occupation for a shy girl isn’t it Blue?” – Katherine
“Well, I pose well.  I just have a sort of problem…” – Blue

“Problem?  You’re a nutcase Blue.  Plain and simple.” – Muz-Ra
“Am not.  I take baths.  I just don’t like to be seen by… people.” – Blue

“Red, now you’re just being rude.   Everyone’s got their quirks – you probably more than most!  And do I say anything?  Hell, do I even THINK anything?   No, I don’t.  Because I’m as fucked up as anyone else around here.  Come on Blue, let’s go for a walk  outside.  We can get to know each other better.” – Katherine
“Kat… I’m sorry… I didn’t mean anythi-” – Muz-Ra
“Look, I like you Red.  Really I do.  But sometimes you cross the line.” – Katherine

“I didn’t mean to cause any problem.  Maybe I’d better go.” – Blue
“Why?  You’ve done nothing wrong.  Come on, let’s get out of here.” – Katherine

(Quietly) “Don’t worry Blue.  I just think Red needs to be reined in sometimes.  I’ve met people like her before.” – Katherine
“If you think so Kat.  Thanks for sticking up for me though.  I really do have a problem, but aside from that I do pretty well here I think.” – Blue
“So, that can’t be you’re real na…” – Katherine

“Hey guys.  I’m sorry, really.  I’ll be more respectful.  Blue, I’m really sorry.  Can I please still come along with you?” – Muz-Ra
“Why Red?  Why would you want to hang aroud a nut job like me?” – Blue
“Because… well.  I’m kinda lonely around here really.” – Muz-Ra

“What do you think Kat?” – Blue
“Oh, sure.  What the hell.  You’re a lot of fun to be around Red – just be a bit more careful about crossing that line of disrespect.  OK?”

“I’ll try Kat.  I know I rub people the wrong way sometimes.” – Muz-Ra

(some minutes later)
“…so I told him, don’t worry about it – inter species fertility is all but impossible.  But he INSISTED.  I even told him it was made for humans, but he was adamant.” – Muz-Ra
“And?  What happened!?” – Blue
“All went well for quite a while.  He was SO cute, and as scared as a puppy that he was going to hurt me or something…” – Muz-Ra

“Silly guy, he’s obviously never seen a male Argonian in heat!  So things start getting hot and heavy, an suddenly there’s this "POP!” – Muz-Ra
“Oh no… Don’t tell me…” – Katherine
“…like a balloon!  Poor guy thought he’d been castrated!  And that’s as close as I ever got.  He disappeared and I never saw him again.  I think he was too embarassed to show his face around after that.” – Muz-Ra

“Yes, that’s it!  Now release slowly and smoothly…” – Muz-Ra
<TWANG!>
“Hey!  I hit it!” – Katherine
“Of course.  Archery isn’t hard if you learn the proper stance and form.” – Muz-Ra
“But doesn’t your chest get in the way?  You are pretty big in that department.” – Katherine
“Oh, I can’t deny that! – but no, they’re no problem – again, if you’re doing it right.  Watch…” – Muz-Ra

“You’re right!  And you’re good!” – Katherine
“Well, not THAT good.  Let’s go see…” – Muz-Ra

“No, not bad.  But your last shot was pretty good too!” – Muz-Ra

“Probably just luck.” – Katherine
“Oh, don’t sell yourself short.  Let’s try again.  But this time, lets try the smaller targets.” – Muz-Ra
“You think I can hit them!?  I just managed to hit the big one!” – Katherine
“It’s all a matter of getting in the right mental state.” – Muz-Ra

“This time, try and think of something you REALLY, REALLY want to shoot.” – Muz-Ra
“Ok…” – Katherine
“Think of that and nothing else, and… then… kill it!” – Muz-Ra

“YES!  See!  You hit the head!  What was your mental target?” – Muz-Ra
“Oh, nothing really.  But it’s your turn.  What do YOU think about?” – Katherine
“Me?  Oh, I think of men.” – Muz-Ra

“You hate men?!” – Katherine
“Oh no, I LOVE em!  But I still want to shoot em.  Right… in… their…” – Muz-Ra

<TWANG!>
“But there’s no target there so I just shift everything up in my mind and shoot at the head target.” – Muz-Ra
“Wow! Red, you hit the NECK!” – Katherine.
“Yeah, his balls were hanging low.” – Muz-Ra

“Thank you girls for coming by.  I’ve got some news to tell you.  We believe we have found the murderer, but we want to bring everyone else into the chateau before the Jarl’s men come to take her away to avoid any sort of threat she may pose to the rest of the girls.” – H
“So, don’t keep us in suspense H, who was it?” – Muz-Ra
“We took a close look at the new sample that you found yesterday and it too contained a couple of Argonian scales.  All matched one person.  Milahme.” – H

“Milahme?  You think she killed Arabhi?  That just doesn’t seem right H.” – Sabhira
“I know, I wouldn’t have believed it myself – but who COULD you believe Sabhira?  Let’s face it, NO ONE here seems likely.  Anyway, she’s in the Grotto with Bhusaran while we get all the other girls inside and will be taken by Ubergard to Whiterun within the hour.” – H

“Anyway, that’s all.  Just stay indoors for the next hour or so and this will all be over.” – H
“Well, THAT’s a relief!  Say, girls – how about we celebrate with some spring wine downstairs?” – Dahleena
“Spring wine?   I’ll drink you under the table, Dahl!” – Sabhira
“Surely we can do better than Drinking under the table?” – Dahleena
“Go on without us girls, Kat and I are going to the archery range.” – Muz-Ra

“Come on Kat, you’ve been spending far to much time with Sabhira.  Besides, you know you can’t drink.” – Muz-Ra
“You’re right of course.  But tell me, are Dahleena and her lovers?” – Katherine
“Lovers?  Naa.  Udaran possibly, but Sabhira’s got a PAST.  You know, a "past”.  Someone not here.  I get the feeling she’s here as a retreat from something.  But she doesn’t like to talk about it.  You like her don’t you?“ – Muz-Ra

"Well, yeah.  But I guess it’s just me.” – Katherine
“I don’t think she would allow herself to feel that way to anyone Kat.  But don’t take it too hard, I know she likes you as a friend, and that’s something…   Come on, stop mooning around and let’s go do something.  Are you any good at archery? It’s one of our hobbies here.” – Muz-Ra
“I really don’t know, I’m not sure I’ve really ever tried.” – Katherine
“Well then, let’s go find out!  We have an archery range inside the chateau.” – Muz-Ra
“Fine.  Thanks Muz-Ra.” – Katherine
