[Sophie is in the Town Square again, though this time with a very large shopping bag set on the ground at her feet. while she is standing calmly enough, there are some subtle signs of the anxiety and exhaustion that she's been feeling lately. her hair isn't quite as neat as usual, and her dress looks a tad wrinkled. in fact, it's a new dress--forest green, edged in lace, but a very simple design overall. the skirt of it is very loose, clearly designed with plenty of leeway, for a reason that those looking closely at her might notice. at this point in her pregnancy, Sophie has started to show a small baby bump]

Hello again, everyone. [she clasps her hands in front of her as she talks, that calm expression becoming a bit more nervous. she glances around, as though concerned about being overheard, before she continues] Many of you asked me for charms before, and I've finished them all. If you'd like to meet me in the Town Square, I have them here.

This would also be a good opportunity to discuss other recent...events, as well. In person is best, I think. [she smiles somewhat grimly]

I look forward to talking to all of you. [reaching out to the CAT, she ends the transmission]

[ooc: Feel free to use this post as a mingling post! You can interact with Sophie, or you can interact with each other in the Town Square so that information can freely be shared. Also, feel free to notice the baby bump or not as you prefer~]

I believe you would be hard-pressed to find someone who wasn't frightened by the prospect of someone dying mysteriously as if on cue. [He pauses thoughtfully for a moment. Actually, that was a complete lie - he knows several people who would find it anywhere from pleasantly fascinating to sexually gratifying.] -Normal people, anyway.

[There's still some residual blushing, but the fact that Sophie didn't react negatively to his question makes him breathe a sigh of relief.] Well, I wouldn't know how to estimate stages of pregnancy with any sort of accuracy so I just assume that it's late as soon as I can tell that something's there. I've never known all that many women - it's just not something that I have experience with. [It doesn't help that most of the women he's known in the last several years have been prostitutes.]

[frowns] Well, yes, but I think they're expecting the reaction to be different depending on if a person is on their side or not... But perhaps not. [she sighs, doubting that theory now]

Really? Well... [at this, she starts to look a bit nervous herself. she fiddles with her dress] To be honest, I don't have much experience myself. But it all seems to be fine, so far.
