Nessa, Nessa, I've got something to confess-a...

[splendid_shoes]

Oh! Hello...good day, everyone. *looks around at this big cavernous corner of the web* My name is Nessarose Thropp, though you might know me as the Eminent Thropp or the Eminence of the East. (*cough*or the Wicked Witch of the East*hem*) The typist I've hired to reintroduce me to society after my unfortunate disappearance has brought me to this

Hi, I'm Holly Short. You use magic? There's so many of you here that do, I never knew any of you humans could use magic before I came here.

[splendid_shoes]

Oh yes, well, only a bit. I took a sorcery class when I was at University and did not actively pursue it, but it has been useful in my later life. In fact at one point I seemed to have gained the reputation of witch--how utterly ridiculous! That's little more than gossip. My father would be horrified to hear me called a Witch, Unnamed God rest his soul....

Now do you use magic as well? Are you an elf? I don't know much about elves, only that some of them lived in the forests around where I was born....

[short_elf]

Yep, that's right! We use fairy magic. I don't think I'm quite the same as the elves that lived near you, I've seen several elves since I arrived hear and they aren't much like me.

[splendid_shoes]

Yes...there seem to be different races of elves, which live in all different parts of the world. Er, worlds. I must say, it is getting very confusing keeping tracking of where everyone is from....

Hello. How are you?

[splendid_shoes]

A bit tired from a great deal of traveling, and now so much socializing. But quite happy overall, thank you for asking. And how are you?

[areyouanangel]

Happy is always good. I'm well, thank you.

[splendid_shoes]

Now where are you from? You have such unique, lovely makeup and dress.

[agrotera]

*eyes* Well, if you've got a God already then you're not one of mine. Just as well. Hullo.

[splendid_shoes]

Hello... Now wait, did you just say something about being a God? *eyes incredulously* Pardon me, but that's downright blasphemous...

(Typist: Aiee! Nessa's shifting into righteous mode!! *sounds alarms and hides*)

[agrotera]

Goddess, dear thing. I'm a girl. See? *flaps braid at Nessa* Don't worry, I know blasphemy when I see it.

[splendid_shoes]

*sniffs indignantly* Whether you add an "ess" to the end or not, it still implies divinity challenging that of the Unnamed God, and I personally find that inappropriate. The Unnamed God teaches forgiveness, though, so I will have to accept your right to hold different beliefs. *still snooty*

[namomandos]

Hmm, another with the name Nessa, that would make you the second.

Be welcome anyway, young one.

[splendid_shoes]

Ah, is that so? I see...that could get confusing. Well, I suppose I will just have to go as Nessarose most of the time, then.

Thank you very much. What is your name?

[namomandos]

The other Nessa does not seem to be very often seen.

My name is Námo.

[splendid_shoes]

I see. Well, it's nice to make your acquaintance, Námo. I don't suppose you're from Oz, are you? I've come to realize that most people here are not...

[i_document_life]

*blinks* You're Elphie's sister, huh? *smiles and sticks out a hand to shake, then remembers she doesn't have arms and puts his hands in his pockets* I'm Mark Thropp-Cohen. Um. Elphie's husband. *blushes and beams and the same time... aw, how cute...*

It's good to finally meet you. I have to say I've been wanting to, especially seeing as how I'm married to Elphie and all. So... Welcome!

[splendid_shoes]

Hello! Yes, I am indeed... Quite a pleasure to meet you, as well! *nods politely* So you are the famous Sir Cohen. Elphaba's been singing your praises since we reunited, and it's very nice to finally see you in the flesh. Congratulations on your wedding, by the way--you have snagged a brilliant girl and I'm sure you're very happy!

I hope you don't mind, I plan to visit you and Elphie up at Kiamo Ko for awhile...if it's all right with the two of you. I would understand if you did not want me to stay, though, you being newlyweds and all...

[i_document_life]

Oh...Just... *flushes slightly* Just Mark. Or Mr. Thropp-Cohen. Not Sir anything. I'm just a filmmaker.

And I don't mind at all. I mean, as long as Elphie doesn't mind. We had Erik and Christine staying with us for a while, and now my friend April... she may as well be MY sister. So, I mean, it's not as if we've ever really had Kiamo Ko to ourselves for more than a few days. *smiles* What I"m trying to say is, please do come visit us.

[splendid_shoes]

How nice. I look forward to meeting her, as well.

Thank you very much. *smiles* Not only have I been dying to meet you, it's been so very long since I've spent any time with my sister, and we have so much to catch up on...
