arachne calling (liona)

@lionaanna ,

Hello, friend. I'm sorry to surprise you like this, but I wanted to discuss a little something with you!

You don't know know who I am, but that is a matter of little importance. The point is not to talk about me but to discuss your future.

You have a spark in you, darling. One that needs to be fanned in order for the flames to really flourish. I'm here to be that fan, or help you find it.

You have so much potential, and it's being used well with your studies and life at school, but it could go farther. Tell me, where do you see yourself going after school? Do you see a girl serving under a Ministry built on false hopes and silly dreams, or do you see yourself in a better one with power and knowledge at your fingertips? Let me assist you. Tell me your hopes.

Your new friend,
Arachne

(OOC: I decided to go with her blackmail persona rather than her sending a letter as herself. This letter would have been delivered by spiders and the spiders would destroy it after Liona finishes reading

Dear Arachne,

While I do enjoy all of the nice things you have to say about me I must say I find your letter a bit mysterious and only slightly creepy, what with the spiders destroying it before I even had a chance to read it a second time. It makes me interested.

Who are you? I'm at a disadvantage socially and I can't converse with you without knowing a little about you. It seems you know me and me not knowing you seems unfair. Let's change that.

Your promises of power seems a little empty without any reassurance. A name might change that.

I hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,

L. Zabini

P.S. Your handwriting was lovely.

Oh darling, I cannot tell you who I am yet! That would defeat the purpose of the code name. Just let me have a little fun and maybe we can have that discussion a bit later.

Awe, yes, sorry about my little friends. I prefer them over Owls because they can travel in such exciting ways and never are bothered by the rain since they can just crawl away from it and still deliver my letters in time! Perhaps I can teach you how to ask them for help if you're interested, haha. They did have to destroy it, however, since I have a lot of enemies out there. That's why I'll keep my letters short from now on, but I'll ask them to give you a bit more time before destroying it!

Awe, well, a name is only a small thing, love. You don't really need it. I'll give you one, though. I'm a representative of Elaine Dupree, who I'm sure you've heard of?

Dear Arachne,

Haha you sound like fun. I like you already.

Awe, how sweet of them. They let me get through it a second time this time before destroying it. That would be a rather nifty trick to have. Maybe if we can get through the reason you're contacting me, we shall see. I can deal with short and sweet.

Names are oh so important though. I rather like my name. There's power behind it. It screams royalty.

Elaine Dupree? Who doesn't know that name. She killed a student.

If you're saying you're a representative of her that means that she is more than meets the eye, am I correct?

Sincerely,

L. Zabini

Dear Liona,

I like you, too!

I gave them some more instruction to give you a little more time. They are really are quite lovely little friends to have. And so useful, too!

You're name does scream royalty. That's one of the many reasons we're interested in contacting you. And Elaine didn't kill a student, love. She killed three.

She is more than meets the eye, I suppose. But if you ever get the chance to look her in the eye you'll see what she is. She is strong, determined and brilliant.

Tell me, love, what is your stance on the muggle situation?

Dear Arachne,

Ah and I guess we are getting to the root of this letter?

I don't particularly care for them but I don't particularly care for most people.

I will utilize anyone if it gets me what I want.

Murder isn't my thing though. Too messy and such.

Sincerely,

L. Zabini

Dear Liona,

Yes, the roots are rather plain to see now, I'm sure. What is it that you want? You don't have to be a murderer, love. I'm not. My job is simply to recruit those to our cause and play to their strengths and if death isn't your strength then that will be respected. Maybe we can help each other? Get back to me when you can, love. I'm hoping we can reveal ourselves a little more clearly, soon. Just need to be cautious, darling.
