Your mother frets endlessly about this or that on your person, nagging in a tone you aren't quite tuned in to. You can hear her complain about how she "can't believe you would go out like this" and how "you should look like you're representing our family, not raising pigs!" and you scoff slightly. Personally, you find your particular choice of clothing to be quite eye-catching. However, your mother will not find it sufficient until she has straightened and meticulously arranged them herself. You'll allow it. Afterall, you won't see her very much during the entirety of the next 6 months, and possibly even later, should you find what you're being sent to find.
Perhaps this is your first year or your fifth year in the courts, but every wealthy family is expected to send their children to the capital of the kingdom to attend socialize and to find your lifetime mate. It is mostly a "we aren't rich enough, go make us richer" event, though the young bachelors and bachelorettes try to make the most of the time.
Your mother finally ceases her nitpicking and you can be on your way, the carriage waiting outside to cart you off towards the capital. A kiss is placed on each side of your face by each female family member as they see you off. The men all shake hands, and you board the carriage, waving out the window. There is still the slightest bit of frost on the ground this morning, as Spring is just now waking from it's long winter's slumber. Soon, the family manor is far behind you, and as the fields and forests pass, you have to wonder...
How will you spend this season?
So this is a reboot of a thing I did years and years ago. Before the Great Crash. It's based off of a choose your own adventure game, and so I've tweaked it, taken the magic out (mostly because it was irrelevant in the first installation and that's where this is rooted), and made it something for groups! This will be highly player driven rather than GM driven, though I'm not above making things happen. I'm hoping for this to be mid-high casual. A couple paragraphs but with not much of a cap on length. There will be quite a few slots open in this as well, so there are lots of nobility and non-nobility roles available and not too much of each. Anyone interested?
