EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

[Jdvn1]

"Heh." David rubs his head, "You don't have to call me 'your majesty,' Keys. I may have more political power in the chancel, but 'your majesty' sounds like it puts me at a pedestal that you don't actually have to abide by. You, my familia, are my equals. I thank you for the compliment, though. And I do not believe you are needed for anything... although the company of familia is always useful."

It never occured to me that Keys would be tied with Music -- that's cool!

... Bah, it's a shame you're leaving Wandering soul, but I understand. If schedule permits, maybe you can come back later?

Can I use a Creation of Time to, basically, give us all the time we need to do anything in the Chancel?

The informant:
The Peasant does not think the stranger is one of the barbarians. He does indeed seem a black man, but the peasant remebers that he had a nose just like his (he is a caucasian). He remembers this because a friend of his was once raided in an outlying community was once raided by the desert barbarians, and his firend told him the all had flat broad noses. He has also never heard of a barbarian reasoning with anybody. The stranger had black trousers, a black jacket and a white shirt and " ... a black strip of cloth dangeling from his neck in front of his white shirt. that was really strange. And he had an eerie ... aura. I don't know how I should say it another way, Mylord. My best guess is he comes from the city. I once saw a man wearing similar strange clothing there."

The Troubadour is in his room when Siomon meets him. He tried to unlock his predecessor memories, but this time Simon had no lock to unlock - as he had when touching the hammer.
<but clever use of metaphor > It quickly becomes apparent that the troubadour was out of the chancel. There is a TV, a computer, a HiFi-Tower and a Keyborad and two electric guitars in his room.
As you enter, he raises an eyebrow, but then asks, noticing your Aspect:"You are one of the new Lords?"

Once will turn to Chivalry. 'Would you care to go on a short... trip with me?' Irregardless, he walks to the top of the castle, and stands on the highest point that gives him enough room for the task. He will place two 10' planks on their ends, and another on top of them, creating a rude doorway. He will then use a Creation of Empty to make the distance between the 'doorway' in front of him and the location of the infiltrator empty. A very roundabout way of making a teleport, essentially. If it works and he can do it, he will then attempt to examine the location on the other side of the door - he does not want to violate Lord Entropy's rules through hasty action.

OOC: I sure hope you'll find time to come back too, WS. In the mean while, good luck with your job.

I thought about that connection, jdvn, and I'm glad I've got a chance to look into it.

"Mmm... Black jacket, black trousers, white shirt, black tie... Did he perchance have any glasses on his nose, or something in his ear? He sounds like someone out of a movie, and that probably means he's quite dangerous... mmm we need a bait, or at least a way to locate him quickly when he shows up..."


At the Troubador's room:
"Oh, yes I am. I am Keys, but you can call me Simon."
He offers his hand, in a very friendly way, looking at him. (what does he look like?)
"Edward told me you used to travel with... the former keys and... I think he was worried we are quite different from our predecessors, and that this difference could come as a shock. Was he a friend for you? If he was, I think it would be proper for me to offer you my condolences."
Simon looks around, for a place to sit upon mainly, but also to get an idea of the person that leaves in this room. When he was a thief, it's always been useful.
"How did you come to live here?"

He then turns to his fellow Ennobled. "You are of course to speak freely. I do not know why you have been so quiet so far. Any thoughts?"

Alyra, who has been lost in her thoughts as she witnesses the wonders of Chivalry's castle, contributes, as if it had been bubbling at the top of her mind: "I think, Once, that it's important to remember that... well, people are people, they're not things. Things can't make choices, people do. And people are important, else, what are we fighting this valde bellum for?" She rubs her eyes a bit blearily with the backs of her hands. "I s'pose I'll accept your offer to stay here, David, but," she says, turning to Edward, "why'd you suggest that I talk to the court maidens? Is there something I need to know?"

Empty:
Over the Void, you can see a room with earthen walls. A man like you imagined sits at a table with an electric lamp, writing. There are no windows, just a flight of stairs up.

Simon:
"I was just learning the instruments, when the former Master of Keys discovered me. I had ... liberated ... an instrument that the old troubadour did not use anymore. He discovered that I had liberated a few more things also, and he offered me to direct my Talent in more useful directions. Of course I accpted, because it gave me a way to live in harmony with other chancelfolk while still, idulging in my hidden desire."

Alyra:
"I am not really informed about the situation. They only said to me that your overwatch was required again, your judgement. Of course there are rumors, but the maidservants are always chattering." If you ask for the rumors:
[sblock]"There is talk of a young knight, Parcival, and one of the maidens, Gwynneth."[/sblock]

 

[Charles Rampant]

OOC: BREAK until I know whether chivalry is with me. That will influence how Once acts.

Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence

Innocence glances around at her dispersed familia. "Maybe we can reconvene before bedtime, or something? I think," she says, perhaps to herself, "that might be good." She pushes herself up off of her seat with some effort and prepares to see what information she can gather about this Parcival and Gwynneth, before suddenly realizing where she is. She daintily holds out a hand, despite, perhaps, not being as dressed for Chivalry's domain as she'd like. "Well, Edward, perhaps you might be able to lead me to them?"

 

[Lichtenhart]

Simon:
"I was just learning the instruments, when the former Master of Keys discovered me. I had ... liberated ... an instrument that the old troubadour did not use anymore. He discovered that I had liberated a few more things also, and he offered me to direct my Talent in more useful directions. Of course I accepted, because it gave me a way to live in harmony with other chancelfolk while still, indulging in my hidden desire."

Simon smiles, knowingly. It definitely looks like he and the former Keys had something in common.
"Well, I'm still quite... kind of new to the job" though it doesn't quite explain how he feels, Simon still tries to resort to human conventions "but I'll remember about your talents... What's your name by the way?"
He stand up, and looks at the instruments, especially the Keyboard.
"I see you use modern instruments. What's your music like? Doesn't it behave... interestingly here in the Chancel?"
