Genevieve smiled as her hair was brushed and her face was being touched up with some makeup. She didn't even need the makeup but the girls who helped her get ready couldn't stop gushing over how beautiful she was and how they just wanted to add to it. She was being pampered like some sort of queen but she didn't feel like it. Genevieve was nervous, too nervous to enjoy the treatment she was getting. Today was the start of many campaigns to take over Astera in the name of Eternal Nightmare, the guild she called home.

At the Astera Residences, she would speak to the people. She didn't quite understand their grievances since she never had to go what they were but when she accomplished what she set out to do the guild would take care of the rest. She managed to get a large crowd today to speak about what the guild could offer them. She knew from talking to a lot of them that they were unsure of their future with how quickly their little area was progressing. Some of them even feared they would no longer be able to afford to live in the place they called home. For the most part, Genevieve was going to let Asmodeus feed her the words to convenience these people that they had nothing to fear. That the future was bright and it would do them good.

Genevieve looked at herself in the mirror once the girls were done. They put very little makeup on her and pinned her hair in a neat bun. She was never one to gush over herself but she looked beautiful. Genevieve thanked the girls before being led to the stage where a crowd of people waited for her arrival. Any noise or speaking that had been going on before had stopped the moment she stepped on stage as if they had been entranced by her appearance. Looking down from the podium the green-haired beauty cleared her throat and began to speak.

Hello. My name is Genevieve Dupont and I've come to speak about how my guild can help you fine people find a way to overcome your uncertainty about Astera Residences and Astera as a whole. It has come to my attention that the rapid growth of your home has caused you some concern, concerns that I assure you are justified and can be addressed and even corrected should it cause an issue for you all. My goal and the goal of my Guild is to become a bridge between you and the growth of your fine city so that you can feel secure in your everyday lives and in your future. I'm sure we can all come to a compromise and solution and if I can't...Well, maybe my guild master can persuade you a little more.

Over the course of five hours, Genevieve was on that stage having answers fed to her from Asmodeus to the people's questions and concerns. At the end of those five hours, she had accomplished what she came to do. The people of Astera had understood that the future of their home was nothing to be afraid of because it would only benefit them in the end and with the backing of the guild they would only grow strong and have the security they otherwise wouldn't have. The money coming into Astera Residences would help with getting the people better resources, jobs would grow, taxes could be lowered, and all sorts of beneficial perks. She even convinced the new and more influential business owners that their presence wouldn't threaten the livelihoods of the other business that were there and that they could become partners with one another should that be something they wanted. Of course, those owners were being threatened with destruction at the hands of Eternal Nightmare if they did not comply with Genevieve's suggestions. It helped that Genevieve was kind and understanding, she even set up a feast after it was all said and done to show that under Eternal Nightmares banner that it wasn't as bad as it sounded.
