Destiny's Tears- First Interlude

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“No, you haven’t offended me,” Molpe looks relived and very apologetic, “its just the last time I was alone I got arrested and thrown in a cell… I’m just trying to be more careful now. Is all.” [/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Oh, well as I said before, as long as I have anything to say about it, nothing of the sort will happen here. Now, would you like to go over the procedure for the speech or would you like some more time alone?"
[/SBLOCK]

Zykovian T’Erilan, Male Altanian Hp's: 24/28

AbM[sblock]*Zykovian was thoughtful during the speech of the Altanian.*

Rystil Only[sblock]Zykovian was wondering what the purpose was behind the speech. The speaker was indeed beautiful and charming, reminding Zykovian a great deal of his own instructor . . . that he had left behind on Altania on his quest.[/sblock][/sblock]

All but Molpe:

*Those who know much of Praetorians have heard of the Archons, with their shiny golden hair and emerald green eyes, though none in the group has ever seen one before (Mhrazhar's quarry was a silver-haired High Praetorian, while Zykovian's teacher was male, and thus couldn't be an Archon). Unlike most Praetorians, who seem built to fight, for function over form, Rosa Olivia has a regal beauty about her that makes the podiumwhere she stands seem almost like a throne, as she begins her speech, indicating the importance of Spelljamming explorers in opening new trade routes and discovering new worlds, as she speaks of the different advancements in military and starfaring equipment in development by Praetorian Warmages.*

"May Myneria smile upon each of you and bless your next venture with sound strategy," she finishes, introducing the next speaker, Grazyz Valthyne, from Arris.

Zykovian:

*As Zykovian's analytical mind works through the common threads in the speeches, he realises that unlike the seminars, where the speakers would have rare and interesting knowledge, nothing that these delegates would say was probably anything new to the convocation's organisers. So although each delegate is trying to give a good show of their goodwill towards th event, why bother even inviting them...unless perhaps the purpose of the delegates was not to impress the crowd but to impress the delegates themselves once they have arrived...*

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“No, that’s fine,” Molpe said as she slide her lithe body into the chair in front of the large mirror, “Let’s go over the procedures.” [/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"OK, sounds good Molpe. Now, the first thing is that when you didn't show up, we switched you to last delegate speaker to give you the most extra time possible, which means you won't have to introduce any new delegates--you're just going to give an entrance line for Wonder and his concluding speech when you're finished. But let's start at the beginning, right? We're going to ask you to stand just backstage when Murasaki Xia, our speaker from Lara Kai who goes right before you, begins her speech. She will be introducing you, so when you hear your name come out on stage, and I know there will be some great applause for you from your adoring fans in the audience. Then you head to the centre of the Amphitheatre, which is built so that even if you speak quietly at that spot, everyone can hear you even up to the back rows--its really quite amazing--and you give your speech. Then they'll surely all applaud again because I know your speech will be wonderful, and then after that, say something to the effect of..." and with this he shifts his form and his clothing, becoming a duplicate of Molpe, "Thank you so much everyone! And here's Wonder with some concluding words."

*He shifts back to the way he was before.*

"See, not too hard--I'm sure you'll do just great!"

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“Ah okay,” Molpe royal blue eyes go wide in terror as she backpedals out of the chair to she’s as flat against the mirror, she didn’t like seeing herself standing before her, “Please don’t do that!”

* She nearly yelled, or so she thought but her voice had left in her terror and it was nothing more than a harsh whisper. *[/sblock]

"Oh dear...oh dear...never seen a Dolathi do that before, Molpe? I'm sorry--let me explain my race. We are shapeshifters, you see, able to adopt any form in the blink of the eye. I'd do it again to show you, but I don't want to frighten you again. It's nothing of which to be frightened--kind of like an Enchantress or Siren from your homeworld using magic, or even a Swanmay when she turns into a beautiful white swan. Either way, my apology for not asking if you were comfortable with Dolathi...it is just that I've forgotten that there are those who do not know us...who would fear us...I had just wanted to help give an example that would be easier for you..." he looks a bit sad and downcast, and perhaps embarrassed too.

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“I know about your race,” Molpe replied tartly as she continued to press herself against the mirror, “and I don’t really fear your race... Well. Maybe… My time in jail was probably because one of you was masquerading as me… A rare one, one whose both parents where Dolathi.” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Really? Well I would doubt it, actually. You mean a pure Dolathi--one whose parents parents were all Dolathi...No Dolathi, not even a pure one, can do a perfect masquerade of a Nymph, did you know? It is your fey nature, I guess. We can look like you on the outside, but unlike, say, when pretending to be a Rowaini, a quick analysis will prove it to be a counterfeit. Did they have any physical evidence that pointed to you? If so, it is more likely to be a Clone or something, but it couldn't be a Dolathi...Really now, no reason to back away like that...do you really hate Dolathi so?" Discovery asks, his voice a bit hurt.
