Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn had met with Conan briefly the previous day and had mentioned that she knew a certain powerful magical fae. While her description was vague, and said fae had a certain reputation to the ulterior..Well either way she had faith that Morgana would help. And so she had found a way to contact them both and set up a meeting in a peaceful part of the park, at a park bench overlooking a little playground where kids played and laughed near a cool refreshing fountain.

Megan is the first to arrive, dressed in one of her cute while floral summer dresses and sandals. But there was no hiding the shock of pink hair or glittery faerie wings from prying eyes and doubtless she got a few stares from the occasional kid as she waited..

Conan the Cimmerian has posed:
At the appointed time, which Conan had a bit of difficulty with initially as he's unfamiliar with the concept of clocks, the barbarian finds himself strolling through the park towards the meeting place. He's sharply dressed in a three piece suit, looking as though he may have just come from the board room of a big company, but based on the way he detours towards the fountain to take a drink from it he probably didn't.

After quenching his thirst he notices Pixie sitting on the bench and strides in her direction, calling out, "Hail, Megan! Seeing you now brings joy to me, despite your study of the wizardly arts. I am glad you sought me out for this meeting for we may need allies most strange to defeat our foe."

Morgana le Fay has posed:
Morgana's the odd one out. She, the evil, ancient feey sorceress, the 'I want to take over the world' sorceress...

She's here, and sitting watching the two of them silently, as if studying both of them. She's empty handed. Not that she's any less threatening like that, no...

Instead, she's, well, she's not doing anything bar sitting, watching and wating, and once the other two arrive Morgana's on her feet with a nod to each of them.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn may be a bit naive in her faith in Morgana, and this meeting may very well end badly given everything, but Megan has chosen to put her trust in both parties. For the sake of the world and all that fun stuff.

She smiles and waves at the smartly clad barbarian, though blinks in surprise as he drinks from the fountain that is full of coins and kids jumping around and playing in. She doesn't know much about this Conan guy, where he's from, but if he's like the character from the legends, maybe it's not such a stretch to imagine why he'd drink from a stream Afterall.

"Hey Mister Conan! Good to see you again, I wanted to introduce you to my good friend, um..Morgana.." right, safer to leave the last name off. Who knows what stories he's read? "Morgana, this is Conan. I think he may need your help in saving the world!" dramatic much?

Conan the Cimmerian has posed:
"Thank you for arranging this meeting," Conan says to Pixie with a nod of his head. Then he turns to address the other woman, "Morgana." At first he leaves it at that, studying closely the woman before him. "I am here because I am on a quest to slay the Sorcerer Supreme, Riath Thalm." A moment is taken for the words weight to sink in before he continues, "He is here to bring Raze, his dark god, to this world. Should that happen the destruction will be legendary."

The black haired man looks towards Megan and then back to Morgana, "Megan has said that you may know of ancient mystical items, older even than the Hyborian Age. We seek them to forge them into a weapon which will slay Thalm, as he is unkillable through normal means."

Morgana le Fay has posed:
Morgana looks from Pixie to Conan, listening to them both. The evil fey sorceress listens. Looking over them both she closes her eyes for a moment. Was she just asked to save the world. Save. The. World?

Yes, she was. So she looks to Pixie, then to Conan. "So, let me get this straight" she says.

Morgana looks over to Conan then. "Are you saying there is a threat out there that I need to deal with and help you both?" she asks

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn bites her lip as she listens to Conan's story again. She's never heard of this evil sorceress but she studies Morgana's features curiously, wondering if it rungs a bell wit her. "Umm well, you're pretty powerful so you'd be a major asset against this evil sorceress right?" she smiles innocently, "Do you know anything about here ancient artefacts? We could really use your help."

Conan the Cimmerian has posed:
"I am searching for great heroes to join me on my quest to slay Thalm," Conan says to Morgana. "If you can help in any way then it would be for the best." The suited man looks around the park, then sniffs a little bit. His eyes then turn towards a picnicking group a distance away for a few seconds before he returns to the conversation at hand. "Riath Thalm, is a man, I am told. He appears to be one to me, but I have not checked."

Running a hand through his long hair, Conan goes on, "I have to trust people I do not know here, for I am not in my own time and I have few allies here. I am reluctant to work with the fae, but if wizards of this time are not all evil then I suppose I will need to start learning to work with the unfamiliar."

Morgana le Fay has posed:
Considering their words Morgana listens. "What makes you assume all wizards are evil?" Morgana asks. Okay. To her, Conan's right. All /other/ magic users bar present company are evil, true, but...but..but...

Shaking her head Morgana regards Conan quietly, as if assessing a threat or possible ally. "Now" Morgana muses. "Now, you need a powerful mystic's help? I can help but there will be...shall we say...conditions. of course, Morgana is under the impression Conan's sticking around. Mostly since she's not used to time travel, and she's older than dirt, too.

"The Hyborian age" Morgana states. "I will research it in my library and see what I find on it. Pixie, if you trust him" Morgana offers. Oh, she just shifted the 'do we trust him' part of things to Pixie. Because if Megan wants to be her understudy, apprentice or protege...she needs to learn quickly, in Morgana's eyes.

Doubly so since the fey queen is, if anything, impatient. Morgana extends more patience than most to Pixie, but that's not a lot more than others get. it just means Pixie won't get killed if she displeases Morgana...

"I've not run across that name, but..." Morgana adds quietly. "I can ask questions, and see what comes of it. What exactly do you need to kill the unkillable?" It sounds so , so much like a trick question, that...well....Morgana's half expecting a trick answer.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods, "Oh that's right, you have a library! I can totally help you do some research..Are you sure we can find all those artefacts in this world and time?" she glances questioningly to Conan, totally oblivious to any ulterior motives Morgana night have.

"Of course I trust him, he's the good guy right? Just like you." she smiles with honest innocence. She doesn't know him well enough to trust with her life but others seemed to trust him, maybe that's good enough for her.

"Of course, it's not the magic that's evil, it's what you DO with the magic that's more important, I think."

Conan the Cimmerian has posed:
"All the wizards I have met are or were evil," Conan explains simply. "They summon monsters, sacrifice unwilling people, cast dark spells that blight the land." His massive shoulders shrug. "Magic is not a tool I am willing to use, but if my allies assure me that it is okay to work its users then I will believe them. For now."

His head will nod solidly, "What are your conditions, Morgana? I have been a mercenary before and I will be a mercenary again. I know that there is value in an exchange of labor."

Towards Megan the large man shakes his head, "I do not know the state of the artifacts, but it is my thought that if they are truly powerful magic then their enchantments will keep them from aging as a normal item might."

Morgana le Fay has posed:
Morgana listens, looking from Megan to Conan again. "So" Morgana says with a nod. "Conditions are that I will be allowed to find these artefacts, and yes, Megan you can help me, Megan" Morgana nods keenly, then she is ready to head to her library and research. And research more. "I will contact you when we find information however"

True, she will....even if she does, indeed, have ulterior motives, then she's gone to her library. She's plotting to send Megan a note as well, inviting her to join in researching.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn pouts a bit at Conan. "Really? Wow, I guess times have changed. I've met lots of good magic users, Morgana here has helped me countless times, heck she nearly sacrificed herself to help us rescue a bunch of prisoners once.." that's a good thing, right?

Though even she is surprised at the simple conditions. "Of course! I'll do whatever you say.." she beams at her mentor. "Hmm, artefacts that don't age huh..Any idea what they look like even?" oh she has sooo many questions.

Conan the Cimmerian has posed:
As Morgana disappears Conan seems to startle slightly, "By Crom! I shall never get used to that magic!" Then his eyes focus on Pixie, "I barely recognize this world as my own, the metal carriages on the roads, the towering stone buildings, the black mirrors people stare into." The shaggy head shakes, "I need to learn all of these things."

"I am still uncertain of magic users, but as my ally I trust you will not bring evil into our fellowship." Then he shakes his head, "I do not know the specifics of any of these artifacts."
