(8:40:20 PM) u_Defthand: [You layer on the charm and alter your voice slightly. "Hello there! Could you direct me to Eighth Street, please?"]
(8:41:25 PM) u_Skye: [You turn and blink, then smile widely and pleasantly.  "Of course!  Would you like me to walk you there?  It's getting dark out, and I'd hate for anything to happen to you."]
(8:43:32 PM) u_Defthand: ["Why yes, please," you say. You add in more charm. "I'm afraid I got a bit lost on my way home. I'm a little new to this city, you know."]
(8:44:42 PM) u_Skye: ["Here - follow me," you say, and take a few steps in the direction of Eighth Street.  "New to the city - yes, it can be confusing, if you're not familiar with it.  Have you enjoyed your time here?"]
(8:47:01 PM) u_Defthand: [You follow along. "I have! I was transferred here for work, but I wouldn't mind moving here permanently." And a touch more... "Would you mind showing me some landmarks around here, in case I get lost again?"]
(8:51:13 PM) u_Skye: ["Oh, certainly."  You smile over your shoulder at her.  "Come - let's go to the park.  It's a good central meeting area, and it should be quiet this time of night."]
(8:51:57 PM) u_Defthand: [You smile back. Looks like the charm is working! "That should be good. Is Eighth Street near there?"]
(8:52:22 PM) u_Skye: ["Yes, it is.  Will that work for you?"]
(8:55:24 PM) u_Defthand: ["Why, of course it would. You are such a wonderful help!"]
(8:56:33 PM) u_Skye: ["And it's just a couple minutes' walk from here.  Is there anything else you need, while I'm helping you?"]
(8:58:59 PM) u_Defthand: [You smile. "Your name, perhaps?"]
(9:00:08 PM) u_Skye: ["Skye - Skye Ringling."  You keep walking forward.  "And yours?"]
(9:02:00 PM) u_Defthand: ["Ellen Hawk," you lie. "Skye," you say with a twist of charm. "-would you like me to buy you something in thanks? Tea, or hot chocolate perhaps?"]

(9:04:56 PM) stanzicApparati is now known as Dove
(9:07:03 PM) u_Skye: ["I would /love/ tea.  Or hot chocolate - even coffee."  You wave her into the park.  "This is the park - just on the other side is Eighth Street."]
