AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

[Silver Moon]

"Ahh, l'amour. Always so much drama," Abby sighed. "Wonderful for a story, but not so much for real life. I prefer the course of my romances to run a bit more smoothly."

Callum says, "I can tell, let's take a look at your current romance shall we? Magically impersonating French actresses, magically flying alone across a desert, swimming towards danger after having your boat magically overturned, escaping from the King's prison, riding horses into palaces under attack, fighting a viking warrior maiden who transforms into a dragon, boarding enemy ships, blowing up dirigibles, standing in the middle of a battlefield, and taking rides on flying carpets going faster than anything should travel. Is that what you would define as going smoothly?"

"Bah, none of that had anything to do with my romance. At no point did someone interpose themselves and tell me who I could or could not love, nor did some arrogant upstart try to steal me away or buy me from my family for a sack of grain and a mule. When some random woman tries to drown me so she can steal my love I'll consider the romance as not going smoothly."

"....When some random woman tries to drown me so she can steal my love I'll consider the romance as not going smoothly."

"Given everything else in your life as of late, that would be tame by comparison.

So, on the subject of romance, do you have anybody particular in mind?"

"Hmmm," she shrugged. "I've been a little busy for that kind of thing. But I do seem to have a soft spot for a man in a kilt."

"Hmmm," she shrugged. "I've been a little busy for that kind of thing. But I do seem to have a soft spot for a man in a kilt."

OOC: So many kilt jokes, so little time.

"I will take you to the finest clothier in town," she replies.

"That will be excellent," Ruby replied with a smile. "But I'd also like to see what the local marketplace is like. We've done some running around through the city, I am hoping to have a closer look at things. You never know when you might find that diamond in the rough."

OOC: I HAD to!

 

[Silver Moon]

"Hmmm," she shrugged. "I've been a little busy for that kind of thing. But I do seem to have a soft spot for a man in a kilt."

He replies, "Then I should point you out to my friend Charles, as he was wearing one today. Although he might be a little old for you."

The cast of the performances come out for the curtain call. They are brought out in the order of the performances and are introduced by name as well as their association with Jacques Offenbach being mentioned. Approximately half are mentioned as being the original artist when the piece was initially performed.

She replies, "The we should start with my friend Habib, he makes various teas and other beverages."

"And he wears overalls. I can't bear a man in overalls," she teased. "Know anyone who wears a kilt and can fly a dirigible?"

"So many of the original performers... No wonder it was so excellent," Abby said. "It was worth the long trip."

With a smile he says, "I will have to give that one some thought."

"So many of the original performers... No wonder it was so excellent," Abby said. "It was worth the long trip."

"It was indeed."

Callum gestures across the room to the crowds who have now gathered around his friend. "My friend the Prince, correction, Grand Duke, seems to have admirers. Actually, I think the Russian's have something there, the title 'Prince' sounds far more dainty, whereas 'Grand Duke' is very masculine."
