Welcome to Gaia! ::

Absolutely! Fortune has been pretty neglected (and abandoned a lot) so there's a lot that can be done, and Lunar sounds awesome biggrin

Friendship for Isolde works, though I'm unsure how capable of true friendship she is. 8D It'd be fun to plot.

If you think of anything for Padma let me know 8D

If you wanna plot my AIM is Ebonized Dragon biggrin

So Isolde could get wrapped up in a variety of paths involving Takka, so let me know if any of these strike your/her fancy.

• Takka could convince Isolde that she has some great destiny to fulfill--that she's destined to become a harbinger of death, or even something like a Valkyrie (or anything you think of, honestly, it is open to w/e). He could always leave her dangling on the details, though, and in order for Isolde to learn more about her "path", Takka would require her to work for him for a period of time/number of seances. Basically he'd lie about how taxing it is for him to contact the spirits, and it'd all seem totally logical that he wouldn't be able to give her endless information in one seance. So maybe she'd do what she could to help out around his place and work for him (like she'd think it was all her idea that she'd stick around and help him out, when actually that's what Takka wanted all along), and then once Takka was "rested", he'd "contact the spirits" again and get her a little more info. I imagine given your explanation on Isolde's unsteady psyche, this might beeee...a bad path potentially? LOL. Takka was used by a mare recently and is incredibly bitter about it still, and if you wanted this could turn into a fling (ending in heartbreak if Isolde developed any attachments, because Takka would probably intentionally hurt her to get vicarious revenge on the mare who used him).
  
  
• She could stumble across Takka's work area in the deep woods and spy on him during one of his sessions with some NPC Soq. Since she has such a fascination with death, it could tip her one way or the other into deeper obsession, and she could become a sort of stalker/crazed fan of Takka's from afar, and potentially get pretty serious. You'd have to work out the details on this since you know Isolde best, as far as how this would progress, etc. (Actually it could even blend into the above idea if you wanted.)
  
  
• It could be a much simpler version of the first idea, but instead of all the intricacies, she could be "hired" by Takka to help with his seances, where she'd act as a sort of creepy fortune teller lady (maybe choosing to work for him with no strings attached considering her obsession). "I see....I see...DEATH." @ some poor, terrified customer. Whether she believes her own mojo is up to you, but Takka wouldn't care as long as she was bringing in customers and doing her job well. He just likes getting paid. Like the first idea, it could end in a fling of sorts, with the same bad end result.

If you like anything/get any ideas from this ramble, just post back and we'll keep working it out till we find a fit. > .> !

I can see Lockes being the one to teach Altair proper manners. She might be a homicidal Soquili (though she is trying to reform herself, with mild success) but she is also a lady. With all the stress she's been under recently, I can see a plot where they come into contact and after an unsatisfactory meeting, Lockes snaps because he can not speak that way to a lady!

Whether violence ensues or if she just goes insanely proper governess mode is up to you.

Also, if you'd like, Mint Candy could meet her, wherein he picks the worst day to try and chat her up and she chases him off herself. (Or sends her gator familiar after him.)

Double also, not sure if you saw, but I sent you Rosalyn's info via AIM. 3nodding
