Hey! Hey, you! Let's go! [Canon: Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec]
[She crosses her arms huffily, blowing at a feather on a very feathery hat in a clear show of disdain and impatience. The slow tapping of a very fashionable shoe emphasizes this just a little bit more.]
Come on! As we speak the story of the century is out there, somewhere, waiting for me! I should be after it, not sitting here in your stupid, slow, foreign head. I should be out on the streets, finding the beating heart of Paris! And then discovering an adventure.
And no, I don't know what the story is but that doesn't matter. One always finds me, and there were all those rumours coming out of Montparnasse...
[She gestures with both hands in the direction of the door. Then waves them with a look of 'come on!' when nothing happens. When she speaks again it is rapid fire, with a look that implies that 'timidity' is pretty synonymous with 'useless']
Out there! Now, right now, in my city! And yes, yes, I nearly drowned on that liner, but we have things to do. Enemies could be at large! Plots afoot! Creatures amock and afoot! I am Adele Blanc-Sec, not a...a...parlour lady! Let's get to it.
[She strides off towards the door, skirts blowing and feathers dancing]
Well? Are you coming?
