JA's - The Prince's Own - Relaunch Part 1

Boundless young beauties abound in the great capital city for sure. At this point the tents are just now going up and the area laid out for the upcoming intake. Many others have also arrived and and as their designated tent is put up they are allowed to take possession of it if they so choose. As the area is more work than party at this point many are going out and taking in the city.

On the morning of the assembly day, a tall broad shouldered young man of perhaps 17 rippling with powerful muscles steps out of his tent on the green past the red and cream banners for his house and the black horse at full chase he has chosen as a personal symbol. He gives instructions to an equally young servant in fine livery before strolling the Green. He is dressed in the latest court fashions though he looks a bit uncomfortable in the complex finery. He wears a slim Rapier and a coiled whip. He seems to have to consciously remind himself to stand up straight and smile as he walks about. He samples just a taste of each of the dishes he had ordered to make sure they are as he planned then he wanders about sampling some of the other dishes. He eats and drinks in only nibbles and sips. The abundant food and drink of the past five days have left his new clothes snug as it is. Henry rubs his head in remembrance of dinner with cousin Sigvald. They must have drank enough to float a warhorse at dinner the other night. He nods to a couple of people he has met over the last five days, blushing shyly at some of the young women as he makes his way to the stages where the players can be found performing.

[sblock=Housekeeping details]I have started with the day of assembly implying that I have been here five days previous. Hope that is what you had in mind. On the day should we be wearing our uniforms yet? If so I'll amend. Are weapons allowed on the Green?[/sblock]

Yevas makes his way to the green and once there starts to circulate; checking to see if he knows any of the candidates. However, he can't help himself and, almost immediately starts to eavesdrop and gather the latest gossip.
 

Henry does indeed fill a little stuffed giving the indulgences of the last few days and shudders when he sees the asstmbled food for the intake feast .

Yveas begins to work the crowd and most of the chat is centeted on who is favored for the direct appointment to a rousl fsmily member
 

2 hours after the set upon time an older gentleman of perhaps sixty years ascends the stage. "Candidates assemble please"
and indicates the roped off area in front of the stage.

Gentlemen please make your entrance :)

after getting his meal he arrives at the designated roped off aread as instructed

Narc Trentson takes his leave of the young lady with whom he was flirting, and heads to the roped-off area. In his new uniform, with a hawk perched on his shoulder, and a dagger* at his side, the blond young man cuts a dashing (or so he thinks) if somewhat odd figure. He is not tall but is athletic enough, tan and fit from the training and riding he did at his lord father's estate; few would suspect that his calling is witchcraft.

[sblock=* ooc]Or so I assume. Scotley's question about weapons on the Green was not answered as far as I can see.[/sblock]
 

Sigvald had arrived early and had had a blast. He drank and ate his way through several taverns with his cousin Henry, he ate all kinds of interesting foods, only a few of which he spat out. he had camped out near Henry's tent, not nearly so showy, but functional. He had wandered this city of stone, where not just the castle, but every building, and even the streets themselves were hewn. He laughed as many passers by tried the traditional seal stew and gagged on it, he danced at the strange but lyrical music, sometimes not even drunk! But mostly he took in this amazing new city, the strange buildings, people and clothes! Barely a fur to be seen, and those that did wear them, they were so small as to not keep you warm at all. When he had come through the portal he had to have his uniform cut anew, but forgot about it almost as soon as it was done, so much was there to see.

So it was that on the day of the event, Sigvald had polished his armor and weapons, taken a bath even and got ready. He went up to the stage in full kit, armor, shield, sword and axe. He did leave the spears behind. He is dressed in his rough woolen tunic and pants under his gleaming armor. If he is bothered by the finery of the uniforms around him he gives no indication of caring as he looks around to see if he can spot his kinsman Henry.
 

Henry makes his way to the assembly point when called. He is respenlendent in the latest courtly fashions. He wears a chain shirt underneath and a rapier and whip on his hip and he is tall and well built, but certainly does not look a warrior in the pastel colors currently in vogue. He looks a little uncomfortable in the formal clothes, but can't seem to stop smiling in excitement. The last five days are still a bit of a blur. He sees his cousin already in place and approaches clapping the viking on the shoulder in greeting. "We survived the revelry, the rest should be easy right?"

"Sure Henry, if you survive wearing that outfit" jokes Sigvald clasping Henry on the shoulder in return greeting. "What kind of service do you think they will assign us to? They took our best young smith and skald. That is obvious. But where do we fit? Not the army since they would have put us there. You may fit in a bit with your schooling and all, not to mention your frilly clothes. But still we are two great lumbering idiots from the North to these folks. I doubt they know we are from different areas. So what use can we be?" says Sigvald to Henry quietly.
