"That makes sense. I can illusion a variety of faces if you need more references?"

Permalink

"Sure, that works."

Permalink

And a variety of faces can be illusioned! Mostly Tetsuma's family members, past clients, the occasional enemy (she idly points out who's who as she illusions; she leaves out the dead family members, as showing all of them would be kinda depressing).

Permalink

After seeing enough of them she shifts—" How about this one?"

Permalink

"Pretty! You'd fit right in in my world."

Permalink

"Great, then. I should find a name for this character..."

Permalink

Tetsuma can suggest a list, or translate something.

Permalink

"'Kaede', I like Kaede. Is it a both genders name?"

Permalink

"Yup! I think I know more girls named Kaede, but not by much."

Permalink

"Kaede it is, then!" she giggles.

Permalink

"It's a pretty name! And luckily you don't really need to pick a clan name; refusing to give one's pretty common, and a lot of civilians don't belong to a clan at all."

Permalink

"Oh but I'm not a civilian, I'm gonna claim I have relevant magic to catch his attention."

Permalink

"And the clan wars aren't exactly relevant here... Still, though, I can't imagine he'd know much at all about my world - though I suppose he might know some if Reim is from it - and I've noticed that people here don't tend to give surnames." After a pause, "If you want, 'Tanaka' is a very common surname, and the one I usually use when hiding my clan, or you can just use the Senju name." Teasingly, "You'd fit right in, with a name like Kaede. I think I have three cousins named that! We do like our tree names."

Permalink

She giggles. "If he asks I might say that but I'll start without giving him a name and just saying I know stuff."

Permalink

"Yeah, that sounds best to me."

Permalink

And a few days later when she has a girl day on a day off for Sadde she goes to the lord's secretary. "Hello."

Permalink

"Hello. What business are you here on?"

Permalink

"I have heard rumours about the lord's new artefact and after looking into it have determined it's from my world, and I think he might be interested in discussing it with me."

Permalink

He blinks. "Well, then. I assume you wish to make an appointment?"

Permalink

"Indeed."

Permalink

"He has an opening this afternoon, after the sixth bell."

Permalink

"That's a good time. I'll be there."

Permalink

He gives her directions on where to go.

Permalink

She is very punctual.

Permalink

And the lord is waiting for her in his office. He gestures for her to sit when she enters his office.

Wryly: "I don't think my secretary managed to catch your name. I am the Lord Lingormr." 

The feeling of presence is much more up close. It's also now rather similar to the sense of static electricity Reim gave off while transformed.
