So, on the topci of knowing each other in the past...<br/><br/>Lace is just new enough to the running scene that she'd be fool enough to try and get a girl's bonding ritual going with other runners--many of whom would be more likely to see it as a threat to their secrecty than a chance to develop a better relationship with someone they might work with.<br/><br/>Anyways, I propose a side thread:<br/><br/>In the past, our group has done a minor job sucesfuly.  In hopes of getting in better with a group of runners she sees as more experienced and more 'in' with the crowd, she invites the girls from the mission to come to a hot tub party.<br/><br/>(Perhaps a bolder girl than she would make things a bit wilder than my mousy librarian could ever imagine...  Not that she wouldn't enjoy herself if it happened.  ;)  )
