The Ward's Guard Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 1 minute ago, Channelknight Fadran said: "Now, now. No need to talk about that at a party. Go ahead! Enjoy yourself!" Caden glared at the partygoers, "as your wish my lord." He turned around with another flair of his cape, spreading the scent of smoke and mud that came off of him around the room, and walked towards one of the side doors. He had his body guards close behind him, and his trailed a small amount of mud behind him as he walked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Bystander Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Seraphina was at the side of the room, piling a plate with snacks. She was wearing a long, simple, dark green dress with gold embroidery, black flats, and a green and gold mask. She had a black handbag with a book and a knife inside. She walked over to a table, sat down, and pulled her book out. She started reading and eating simultaneously. She occasionally looked up, making sure she did her job correctly. She saw lots of people, one of which wasn't even wearing a mask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I think I am here. Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 10 hours ago, Shard of Thought said: "Well, Jassir, you'd make fun of me no matter what I wear. The fact that you noticed my shoes means that they were a good choice. So-" She curtsied, fluttering her fan. "-thank you for the unintended compliment. You have an eye for fashion, despite your uniform." “Excuse you, I’ll have you know my garb is the peak of Jester fashion,” Jassir said, twirling around on the spot, sending his multicoloured tassels spinning about. “This vivid orange and purple didn’t come cheap, you know. And the best part? The King paid for it all. Maybe I’ll destroy it in a brawl so he’ll have to pay for another one.” He held his staff vertically and perched on it with sudden spryness, balancing on it and looking down on the Raveness with a grin. He should have expected she’d bend his words to seem like a compliment. “And speaking of eyes...” Jassir said, tilting his head towards the main seating areas. “Young Lord Karoban over there, by the banner? He seems to have an eye for the king’s new agricultural lands. Very ambitious man, that. Outspoken, too.” He smiled at the Raveness, a twinkle in his eye. Speaking to her was like flirting with death herself, and it was thrilling. “Maybe you should visit his table, hmm? Show him his place? Not that I’d dare tell the Raveness what to do...” he smiled. “I’m just a lowly Jester, after all.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative_Null Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Quote Haven't read the backlog, have read the character sheets and the intro. May I add a noble character into the mix of the court? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Riva chuckled. "My job is to intimidate, not to threaten, Jassir. And - to anyone but you, of course - walking up to someone and starting a conversation is a massive threat in and of itself. Besides, my work is for unprecedented breaches of conduct, not ambitious noblemen. If that were the case, why then, everyone here would fall under my knife!" Quote Oh, sure, Null! Hmm... Riva makes potions for all sorts of things. That's what most of her time is spent on, actually, is making and testing potion recipies, not just torturing. I'm wonder, perhaps, if there's anyone she could be selling potions to. Like steroids or something. That would be a really interesting arc for a character. Anyone's character, not just for Null. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condensation Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Aliénor noticed someone in a dark dress talking to who must be the Jester - who else would it be? - and she shuddered. She'd heard about the king's Raveness. She shuddered and stepped back - and bumped into someone. She turned around. "Oh, I'm so sorry." Her voice had a faint accent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like steroids or something. That would be a really interesting arc for a character. Anyone's character, not just for Null. Quote Yay! That does sound interesting. Let me see what I can do... Will Dellré Appearance: Slightly below average height and slim build. Dark hair and bright eyes with a spark of... something in them that makes people uncertain how to behave. Details: The eldest son of one of the important nobles of the court, and widely considered to be the most desirable bachelor in the land, not just for his money and title, at least. He spends every ball and party dancing and carousing, and has enough friends that throwing a shoe will probably hit someone he's bought a drink for. He is beginning to operate some of his family's estate and interests, but his father is a long way off from passing it to him. Unknown to most, Will is also a somewhat infamous assassin. A select few know that contacting The Second Shadow is best done through Lord Dellré, but even fewer know why. One of those few is the Ravenness, who supplies him. While Will cannot compete with the King's Ladies, his liberal usage of potions, poisons, and the little magic he can dredge up lets him hold his own. Personality: Cocky, but with enough charisma to make him likeable instead of arrogant. Skills: Skilled with a number of weapons, methods of disguise, and poisons. How does this sound? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 "I do. That and geography." Maverick felt himself start to sweat. By the Stars, how had he managed to engage in conversation with one of the most influential people in the kingdom? He was slightly frightened that King Ivian would see him talking to his betrothed and perceive it as flirting. Who knew how he'd punish such an offense? Still, he stood rooted to the spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condensation Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 "Oh, geography! That's wonderful." Aliénor glanced over at the king. "I should likely go announce myself to him.

Who would I have to make fun of? Why, I’d have to resort to mocking the King, and then it’d be me under your knife!” Though he smiled and joked, he watched her reaction with interest. Indeed, while everyone wore a mask, some wore more layers than others. Underneath that intimidating demeanour, that sharp black, who was the Raveness? It was a mystery that never failed to allure Jassir. “I notice you’re sticking to your brand,” he said, gesturing to her dress. “Black dress, black mask. Why not embrace a little colour? I’d find few things more frightening than the Raveness herself in a technicolor shawl.” He tilted his head and pretended to be deep in thought. “Would you even be the Raveness, then? More like the Rainbow Lorikeet... of Death.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
