Perhaps it is our Guest of Honor's sense of humor, or the hope that it will be a role you can work with.

Hopefully that's the case...

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

Your position might make people who won't be inclined to speak with me talk to you. It might be helpful to swap information and work together on some of the objectives.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[lefthandpath]

... are you already familiar with things here?

And you know I'm never opposed to sharing information with you.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[tradesecret]

Just what Lady Danforth said, and the general introduction. This time period isn't one I'm too familiar with, though honestly I'm surprised I've been afforded this position.

It's not really one I'd associate with Victorian women.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[lefthandpath]

Well... that's because it's not especially common?

If anything, a woman in power is likely because of her husband or her family being of significant influence.

I mean, the Queen of England, for example...

There's not a whole lot of... moving up. If that makes sense? Though I don't really know much outside of the Order, myself.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[tradesecret]

I'm sure it'll be alright.

For both of us. Shall we reconvene after speaking with the ballroom guests?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[lefthandpath]

That seems like a fair plan.

Lady Jane Wiltshire is an acquaintance of our guest of honor. She runs a charity house, lending aid to women.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

An acquaintance? How close of one?

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[tradesecret]

We seem to know more about her past than she does, though she's aware of Paloma's political actions.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[lefthandpath]

[... this explains so much that this is Paloma's whole thing]

Ah, I see...

Well. I managed to make some fairly decent trades with a revolutionary type... maybe if you say I've mentioned them to you, they'll be more inclined to deal with you as a politician...

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[tradesecret]

Do a little research on Shaptash... Parliament had received a reprimand for their actions when Paloma spoke out about something there....

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

[lefthandpath]

I see.

Re: THE GRAND BALLROOM

That said, I'll be going to a meeting in a bit.
