While she was good at remembering names, she wasn’t necessarily the best at recalling the finer details, like their character’s class and physical features. She also noted their character’s gender too since not everyone was playing the same gender as their actual self.<br/><br/>Sam’s attempt at an English accent made Billie smile in delight. It didn’t matter to her if it was bad or not. If anything, she applauded Sam for being brave enough to do one for her character. As she described her character’s rich background, Billie appeared all the more intrigued. She hoped they had the chance to learn more about Anastasia throughout their trials and tribulations in the frozen hellscape.<br/><br/>Tanya spoke next. What stood out to Billie most about her was the mention about being from California. The state had always been a point of fascination for Billie ever since she watched that one movie with Nicholas Cage, City of Angels. She nodded her head at Penance’s description, blushing a little when Tanya spoke of their prowess in other areas than combat. Upon noticing the drawings, she admired them with wide eyes.<br/><br/>“You are really talented,” Billie complimented.<br/><br/>And then, Tanya mentioned a secret. Had she missed something? Crap on a stick, she had missed an important part in her introduction! She completely forgot to tell Eduardo that she had not received a secret. Billie’s stress levels ticked up as she did not want to interrupt people’s introductions due to her silly mistake. Maybe it wasn’t a big deal? She could just let him know when they took a bathroom break.<br/><br/>Last but not least Aubrey introduced herself. She, too, like Tanya, was from California. Billie made a quick note that her character, Mira, was also a half-elf like hers.<br/><br/>Again, Billie considered asking Eduardo for a secret, but he had already leapt back into storytelling mode. So, she tried her best to enjoy the tale rather than worry about one hopefully small detail.<br/><br/><em>Amaranth sat at a table with a few other folks. None she knew well. There hadn’t been an empty table available when she first arrived at the tavern, so she took the first empty chair she spotted without mind of the table being occupied. The others didn’t mind. They glanced briefly in her direction before they returned to their conversation.<br/><br/>An elderly barmaid noticed her without a beer and came over to inquire if she’d like a drink while they waited for Hlin to come out and share the news. She nodded her head and asked for their cheapest beer. The woman gave her a look as if to warn her but headed off to the bar when Amaranth did not change her mind. The quality of the beer was unimportant to her. She tasted many varieties throughout her travels and thus far none suited her. Besides, she didn’t plan to drink the beer.<br/><br/>Soon, Hlin walked out. But rather than share new information, she solicited brave souls to hunt down the murderer. Now, Amaranth had heard about the murder. People spoke about it in the same breath as they commented on the weather. What intrigued her most about these killing was the murder’s targets. All of whom were tradesmen.<br/><br/>Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of assembled people left the tavern. They were wisely unwilling to put themselves in harm’s way. Amaranth might have done the same if not for the need for gold. But, since her arrival some time ago, she had little luck in finding the artifact she so desperately wished to locate. Success evaded her, and instead, she discovered more dead ends and false leads. It was frustrating because she foolishly thought, when she first arrived, that hunting it down would take a few months. Now, her supplies were low as was her gold. It showed as her once fine clothes now bore the evidence of nature’s fury, frayed and tattered a bit at the edges.<br/><br/>“I’ll help find them,” she said, speaking after the tiefling volunteer their services. “When you say apprehend, I take it you want them back alive?”</em><br/><br/>Although Billie hadn't asked about the criminal organizations, she still took notes when they were given more information about them. "Is there any, um, discernable pattern to these attacks? Location wise? I'm just wondering if we can puzzle out where the killer might strike next since they seem to be on the move."
