Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery, Part II

"Ooh, that sounds good. Sounds more like a drama, so maybe it's a dramatic comedy." Vasha says as she steps up to purchase tickets.

*Vasha sees that there are several different prices for tickets. For two silver commons a head, they can purchase a spot to stand along the ground, while for two gold royals a head, they can get seats, and for ten a head, they can get nice seats.*
 

"You ok with standing? Or should we sit?"

Vasha will purchase either 2 standing room, or 2 of the 2 gold seats, depending on her mothers answer. She's fairly indiferent.
 

"I'd like to do whatever my little girl wants to do," Ashana replies, giving Vasha a hug, "The play is a few hours, right? Are you okay with standing for that long?"
 

"I am, but let's sit anyway, that'd be more enjoyable." Vasha pays for 2 seats.

OOC: Gee, thanks a lot mom :p

*They sit and watch the play, a romantic comedy with a somewhat convoluted but charming plot about an initially stuffy but well-minded nobleman and justiciar who falls in love at first sight with a beautiful girl he meets while on the pursuit of the notorious bandit king, Crimson Ember. After a romantic interlude, the nobleman is jailed under the charge of being Crimson Ember, as he is found to be in possession of some of the bandit king's stolen booty. When the real Crimson Ember saves him from jail, he is faced with the difficult choice between cooperating with his sworn enemy and allowing himself to be wrongfully imprisoned.

They discover that the nobleman had been framed by his jealous younger brother, but after the brother flees justice, the nobleman becomes an outlaw again when he saves Crimson Ember from the gallows. As they ride off into the forest, the nobleman discovers while treating the bandit king's wounds that Crimson Ember is really none other than his beloved.

They return to her forest bandit stronghold only to find that the nobleman's brother has taken over the role of Crimson Ember, without the bandits knowing, to make himself his own kingdom among the outlaws. Defeating his brother in a duel, the nobleman returns and brings his brother to justice for framing him and for being the bandit king, and he receives a pardon, returning to his estate to get married, with a happy ending for all, except the evil brother.*
 

"Wow, that was an awful lot of stuff going on there. I wonder if any of it is based off of ledgend or real events?" Vasha says as they walk out.

"Let's go find a gathering spot that looks interesting. Dancing, or whatever, your choice mom."

OOC: Vasha will insist she choose, so don't try to duck out of it :p She's never hung out like this with her mother, so she wants to know what she's into.
 

"Well, it's possible, I guess, or it might just be the invention of a clever author. It's hard to tell, sometimes."

"Hmm...well, if you insist,"
Ashana smiles, "Let's see...Why don't we find a tavern then, maybe one that has some fun games, like darts or dice or cards or billiards? Those are always interesting!"
 


*Ashana and Vasha search through the town and eventually find a tavern called the Third Gauntlet, where there seem to be dice and card games going, as well as a game of darts and another game with pieces on a tiled board.*
