[QUOTE="talien, post: 4187632, member: 3285"] [b]The Last Resort - Part 3b: Conversing With Talbot Estus[/b] The party seemed to be already on its last legs when the writer of the play, Talbot Estus, appeared, wearing his own half-smiling, half-frowning mask. There was applause from his cast, which he accepted graciously. He seemed oblivious to the subdued mood around him. Talbot joined the table of masked actors, along with Ilmarė. Talbot showed no signs of recognizing her presence. “So you really didn’t notice the ruckus in the crowd?” she asked. “Not all,” said the largest of the actors wearing a widely grinning mask. “We thought it was applause.” “I must say,” Talbot interjected, “I deplore what happened after the performance, but it wasn’t a complete surprise. Any work of art should seek to inspire fervor.” “That was a little more than fervor,” said Ilmarė. “People were nearly killed.” “But let us not dwell on such things.” Talbot stood up and addressed the room. “Let’s show the cast our appreciation!” Polite applause broke out. Henry Tranco smiled and clapped along with the rest. Kham and Beldin did not. “Where did you come up with such an interesting play?” asked Ilmarė. “Funny you should ask!” said Talbot. “I was inspired by The King in Yellow. Have you heard of it?” “I assume you mean the book, not the character,” said Ilmarė. “Yes, I’ve heard of it.” “I purchased a copy off of the famous Coryan playwright, Livius Carbo.” Talbot spoke with rising excitement.” Legend has it that it was performed in front of an entire town; they rioted afterwards, burning the entire place to the ground. Can you imagine such…” he searched for a word. “Fervor?” asked Ilmarė. “Fervor, yes!” Talbot smiled at from beneath his mask. “What‘s your name, by the by?” “I prefer not to reveal my identity until the unmasking at midnight,” Ilmarė entwined her arm around Talbot’s. “In the mean time, think of me as your greatest fan.” [/QUOTE]
