[QUOTE="Nergal Pendragon, post: 6523212, member: 6777649"] [roll0] It isn't going to be her best performance, but she doesn't intend to do the kind of performance she normally saves for a less conservative space. "A long time ago, a questing knight journeyed the lands with a lovely sorceress and a priest ever devout. They journeyed the land far and wide, hunting unceasingly for evils to slay, innocents to save, and treasure to tithe. But with each evil slain, each innocent save, each coin given to the church... they felt restless. Their constant life of journey and fighting was not satisfying some primal urge. "And then one day they came across a woman kept hostage by a huge army of orcs, and they knew they must act..." Ilyana reaches down to pull out her wand. "And they overheard the orcs talking about how they were going to turn the poor woman into stew! Enraged, the knight drew his sword and leaped into battle against the orcs!" Ilyana, holding her wand like a sword with both hand, quickly turns to her right and takes a short leap across the stage, swinging the wand down overhead like she's striking at an enemy with a large weapon. She begins to mock swordfight with people who are not even on the stage, occasionally leaning back as though just barely avoiding a blow before coming back up to continue swinging. "And he continued to fight, slaying every orc he came across with savage blows of his mighty weapon, driven on and on by the righteous fury he felt for the poor girl's plight!" She then spins away from where she is standing, twirling as she dances backward a few steps. "And the mighty sorceress, seeing her companion in danger of being overrun, called upon her magic and unleashed the most potent spell she knew!" She then points the wand, like a wand for once, in front of her. "Explodium Badguyicus! And many orcs were engulfed in flame!" She then takes a quick step, placing herself closer to the stage's back. "And the cleric, seeing his friend hurrying to save someone, bowed his head and prayed." She then turns to face the audience, her head lowered and hands clasped in front of her, wand tip close to her mouth. "Oh divine St. Cuthbert, please unleash your fury upon these unholy defilers..." And then she slips the wand aside and, with a quick motion, kneels, slaps the stage hard enough her hand is stinging, and stands while saying, "And a bolt of divine fury struck the ground felled the orc army! And the maiden was saved, thanking her rescuers profusely as they freed her from her bonds!" Ilyana begins to move towards the center of the stage. "The knight, feeling glad he did another good deed, asked, 'Who are you lass? What town do you hail from?'

And the knight replied, 'A lass of no import! There can't be such a thing!' He then winked at her, and she rolled her eyes because it was the cheesiest thing she'd seen..." ooc: Her tale continues.
