The Newcago Court


Quiver

Recommended Posts

Princess Delightful steps forward and delicately clears her throat. All assembled Knights of Newcago gather around and salute. Sunlight shimmers off the glass pillars and smooth palace floor, and the breeze is fresh through the large windows that look out onto the icy surface of a glacier.

 

"Head Scholar Leftinch, attend and record this."

 

Leftinch strides forward, paper and pens clutched in his arms. He bows awkwardly, then stands aside, pen poised.

 

"In the absence of my dear sister Queen Elsa Steelheart, I, High Imperial Princess Delightful of Newcago shall perform this knighting ceremony. TwiLyghtSansSparkles, step forward and kneel. Now, the name of Newcago, in the name of freedom, friendship and determination against all odds, do you swear to protect this kingdom, our queen, and all denizens against any enemies and all odds?"

 

Leftinch's pen scratches quietly, abnormally loud in the otherwise still room.

 

"Yes M'lady" TwiLyght says softly.

 

"Then I name you Knight and Knitter of Newcago! Rise, go forth, and keep us warm and entertained with your creations! May you be bold and brave, and may the cold never bother you!"

 

Clapping resounded against the icy walls as Newcago cheered their newest member. 

 

"By the way" Delightful whispers, "we may have to talk about the yak meat. Where did it come from? The Wafflesworn may soon need replacing if they all join the Chaos clan."

As soon as the ceremony ended, LeftInch hurried up with a Ice-shardblade, ice skates, a manual of "Zealously protecting thy Liege", and a little note.

"If ye wish to cook and talk 'bout food, come down to the kitchens with me. I'm the only one here, that's not a bloody traitor, who can cook worth a chull. Also if you ever feel like torture lessons, just ask the Lady Delightful, she's a wonderful teacher. She improved my technique a lot."

BreathTaker walked up to Lefty and Princess Delightful with a giant mug of deep amber beer in one hand and a pint of frosty yellow beer in the other. Bowing in the proper manner to Delightful and nodding respectfully to Leftinch, "Lefty, if you have something else to get I would gladly take responsibility for escorting the princess," BreathTaker said, handing the pint to Lefty, "This is my newest brew, I made it mostly for a refreshing taste, you see, it's much too light for me. That beer right there is called the Ice Pilsner, c'mon boy, drink it up, tell me what ye think"

TwiLyght watched as Breath Taker plied the princesses with homemade beer. Stupid beer, she thought. Stealing my thunder—and at my own knighting ceremony! The nerve! 

 

She walked a few paces away, savoring the smell of delicately spiced yak meat. So far as she was concerned, Breath Taker would never taste it. ​There's no better combination than yak meat and beer, she thought smugly.

You should probably giveTwiLyght a medal for bravery. She her illusion got stabbed by a feathermancer, really rather brutally.

A wind whispers through the Court. "The Captain is a Feathertip not a Feathermancer. They are entirely different," it whispers.

((Starting a Reckoners/Steelheart world RPG, if anyone wants to join. It'll have a more cohesive narrative structure than a traditional RPG, with a stronger focus on characters and plot, so it'll be more like a group story than anything else. It's still in the planning/recruitment stages, so any input would be appreciated. Here's the link: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/12274-question/#entry150678 ))

Yes, my Queen. Leftinch said I might be made Knight and Knitter. If it pleases the Queen, I shall give unto her a gift. The BLACK MAMBAAAAAAAAAAAAA, hand knitted from pure silk. (Every single ONE of those A's is necessary.)

What say you?

It's... Beautiful!

Stunning.

I thank you,

Thank you for a choosing to be a knight and knitter. I will add you to the list immediately.

Did the princess give you your ice sword and steel armour?

BreathTaker grabbed TwiLyght's arm and vanished in a puff of biocromatic breath and a maniacal laugh and reappeared in his dungeon Brewery. "Hmmmm, let me see here," he dug through the dusty old bottles and casks... "AHA! Here we go," BT took out a bottle and dusted it off, "Here you go, Huckleberry brew, right year, right color. It's a perfect beer, allow me too..." *poof* two pint glasses materialized and he poured the beer into the glasses, handing one to TwiLyght, "Cheers"

Do you have any other drinks besides beer?

"Well, Mi'lady..." BT said to the queen and he turned around and reached into an ice box and pulled out a bottle filled with dark syrupy liquid and a chilled glass. "This here queeny, is NEW. I call it Soda Pop, it's basically beer without the alcohol but it can have a multitude of flavors and I think it's going to be great." He poured Elsa a glass and haded it to here, cheering her with his beer.

Queen Elsa took the glass from him. "It looks exotic and wonderful!"

She put the glass to her lips.

"Beautiful! I love it Sir Breathtaker!"

I look forward to Seing more of this drink and other drinks you can come up with."

She smiled, clutching the glass in her hands.
