::Entering after having seen Mina, Lucy - a diminuitive, blonde girl of nineteen - smiles and curtsies prettily to the occupants at large

::smiles:: It's a hopeless business, you know. You shall never be anything but perfectly charming under all circumstances!

[poordearlucy]

Oh, Mina, you are too terribly kind to me! No, I'm sure they all think I'm perfectly wretched.

[miserymaker]

Hello Lucy, Hello Mina! You may call me Cathy. *smiles!* There are some chairs by the fire that are not *too* dusty. I keep complaining about the lack of service here, but nothing seems to be getting done about it. *sighs*
But it is certainly a pleasure to find more female company in this strange place! *whispers* some of these men are rather...strange. I sleep with my door locked.
*clears her throat softly* I hope you will be joining us in the parlor for tea! Such tea that there is...

...

*sighs*

[madamemina]

::smiles warmly:: Hello, Cathy! It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I, too, have noticed the surprising lack of service, although I assumed it had something to do with the lateness of the hour?

I'm afraid Lucy and I haven't met many of the guests yet, so I will have to take your word for it. However, I must ask...how do you mean, strange men?

::laughs softly:: We shall all muddle through, I suppose.

Offers the two of them a weak smile, dipping his chin. "Evening, Ladies. A pleasure to meet you both. Might I suggest that a room is found soon, for it seems that this mansion is filling up quite quickly."

::Lucy smiles at him, brightly, and curtsies again::

And a pleasure to meet you, too, Mr...I'm not sure I caught your name?

Oh, if it comes down to all that, I'm sure Mina and I can share a room. We are practically sisters, in any case!

[dualnatures]

Practically sisters, yes. Of course... ::Trails off a moment at a hush in his ear, and looks away briefly. Clears his throat uncomfortably and looks back:: Jekyll. Doctor Henry Jekyll. But please, call me Henry.

[poordearlucy]

::Notices the strangeness but decides not to comment on it::

Oh - are you sure that would be proper of me? Of course, if you wish for me to call you Henry, I will, I won't be disagreeable, but...are you sure you'd rather that than Dr. Jekyll?

::smiles and cursties in return:: Hello, Miss Westerna... My name is Christine. I'm rather new here as well, but most people seem to be very nice... ::looks nervous:: I--I do hope to meet your acquaintence.

[poordearlucy]

::she beams:: It's such a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Christine - I do hope you don't mind my calling you Christine - and please, do call me Lucy. Everyone has been so very inviting so far.

[dreaming_daae]

Oh, no! You may most definitely call me Christine! It is lovely to meet you as well, Lucy! I do hope that we get to be friends!

[mrbroodypants]

I am Mr. Edward Fairfax Rochester. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[poordearlucy]

::curtsies, smiling sweetly:: And a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Rochester.
