EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

[Lichtenhart]

OOC: Our Imperatrix's herald is a stoner?! What does that say about us?

"What was that fooooooooor?!" she exclaims, in a voice that just might be on the edge of a whine.

"Well, it was to show you how happy I am to have a sister. I felt alone for so long..."

"Ah, found him!. Keys, If you are to come along, you should appreciate his crime."
Michael proceeds to explain his recent history to Keys, then steps through the portal, leaving it open for the others to come through, should they wish.

"Mamba, are you absolutely sure your commander is the one to blame? You may want to put him through a third degree before the rite. I'll help you with that, if you want."

As they decide to go or not, Simon looks at the people gathered around the temple, almost as curious of them as they are of him, and wonders what responsibilities he'll have towards them. He's glad they got David as a King, though he wouldn't want to be in his place.

Alyra sniffs, not unkindly, at Simon. "Well, I didn't see you picking up the other two and spinning 'em all 'round, y'know, so I don't know what's so special about me."

She sighs a bit as she sees David being imperious to the masses. Clearly ruling is not exactly her cup of tea. "Well, are we going or what?"

OOC: By the way, what emotions am I picking up from the Chancel citizens, anyway?

The citizens have a wide variety of feelings about you nobles. Mostly they seem to be courious, some show resignation, others look welcoming. You notice that they keep a bit more distance to Shadows. A cute litte blonde girl beams at Alyra specifically, while a dame in one of the more elaborate dresses seems interested in Chivalry. A large, very muscular man with greying hair eyes Keys.

The only face that seems to glance suspiciusly at you is a man hiding at the corner of a house. The moment you see, him, he vanishes.

Innocence mmms thoughtfully, as she notes the suspicious man -- perhaps he falls under Shadow's domain? -- and focuses her attention on the young girl for a moment.

OOC: Empathy as an automatic gift, soooo...

As David bounces from person to person, he shares a couple words with the more gregarious and makes sure to be polite to each person. For a while, a lady carries on a bit longer than the others with David and he does not back away from the conversation. After a few quips, he pardons himself and moves on so as to not ignore the rest of the crowd. He looks back every once in a while, concerned about Shadows.

[sblock]Is this "The only face that seems to glance suspiciusly at you is a man hiding at the corner of a house. The moment you see, him, he vanishes." directed at Keys? I wasn't sure. If we all noticed him, then I'd try to do a quick Divination and move on, to try to figure out what tie he has to the Chancel and possibly some basic information. I assume the ex-boss's apartment isn't rented or anything and that it's his home, meaning I can't go in uninvited[/sblock]

Alyra, the girl seems really happy to see you. There is also an undercurrent of exspectation.

The people all respond positivly to David's efforts, but all bow at least their heads at your apprach. Only the lady in the elaborate dress, named Medea, does not bow at first, but instead gives you an encouraging smile, and drops her handkerchief accidentially .

It is very possible that nobles present and looking around the crowd notice the man trying to hide. Annoyingly, he does not show up on a Lesser Divination.

Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence

A contemplative look passes across Alyra's face. She eyes David schmoozing divinely with the Chancel citizenry, and then shrugs, getting down on her knees so that she's about the little girl's height, or at least as much as she can manage, being her. She tilts her head a bit, and smiles lopsidedly to the girl. "Weeeeeeeell, you certainly seem like you've got somethin' you wanna talk to me about."

 

[sophist]

The girl now is even more happy: "Yes, ma'm, you want to see me flowers, like the other innocent lady?"

 

[Timeboxer]

Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence

Alyra tilts her head back and forth, a bit playfully. "I'd love to!" And then, slightly more quietly, loud enough to hear but obviously to herself: "...the other innocent lady...?"

 

[sophist]

The little girl says: "They are in me garden.", and adds, obvously taking the comment seriously: "Me Momma said, there were many innocent ladies, all different. Like me flowers. Different Forms and colors, but all flowers. 'cept they are one flower after the other. The lady before you like me garden well."
