SOLO III
Demon World
Part 038
Gail has to keep disengaging from Lisa to avoid
being hugged. When they stop, Gail and Ada are near the door and
Lisa is on the other side of the Table. There, laid out on the
lower bunk bead, is Gail's dress.

It's a race to see who can pick up the dress
first. There is almost certainly a hair on it, and admiring the
dress is as decent an excuse as any. Fortunately as it turns out
Gail has a higher DX than Lisa. There is a breif moment where
Lisa shoots a dirty look at Gail. It passes and Lisa's smile
returns. Here is what we know of Lisa so far.

Gail casts a simple illusion just by looking at the
dress she is holding up. It has a large fist sized spider
suddenly crawling on it. Judging by Lisa's reaction she won't try
to touch it again.
Lisa looks into Gail's eyes for a bit. Then
she steps forward and puts one leg on the table between her and the
Girls. "You did that without word or hand, didn't you."
"Yes." Says Gail.
"I guess that means you're ready for your own
ship. I'll have to trade you up when we reach port."
"Yes." Says Gail and Ada in unison.
Lisa takes one of the small bottles dangling from
her leather belt in her hand. It has wicked faces carved in
it. "Well, just remember. I have eight demon bottles, so
don't get any Ideas about taking this ship." She stands and walks
to the door, slowly, and back in control. She opens the door,
pauses, and speaks over her shoulder. "What are your names?"
"Gail." Says Gail.
"I'm Ada."
Lisa stands there at the door for a moment.
She nods. "Gail. Ada. O.k." She leaves the
room, pushing the door shut behind her.
