Nah, but the thing is, the whole rock thing isn't actually a curse, because Sisyphus is still in a sense the master of his own destiny because he is free to choose to push the rock up his hill, and in acknowledging the absurdity of his actions he is able to achieve a higher level of understanding.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy, after all.

@Not FishingShe'd blame Darius's family, the royals, the war, and her parents. But the tax issue has been around since she was like five so she sees it as normal. She's a peasent girl that doesn't know much about government anyway.

@Emma

I'm more curious about how much she actually blames towards Darius himself, considering he would have been very young at the time. And Darius might not come across as sympathetic, due to his cold nature and the fact that he doesn't believe people should apologize or accept responsibility for the actions of their parents/ancestors. He would feel some sympathy; he would just try to avoid showing it.

The war ended a year later and that’s when the taxes grew too much to bare. They had to sell quite a bit of their land, both horses, and all the pigs in order to keep the farm afloat. All of the workers were also let off, since there was no coin to spare for wages. What was left of the farm quickly fell into disrepair as Seamus just couldn’t do it all himself. Food was scares

@Emma

...is she going to blame Darius's family for all this?

Also, this might have already been asked and I might have missed it, but when will we be starting?

@PhunkyPhoebe

Ajah and Doom said they won't be back/able to post until Tuesday at the earliest.

I think Darius, Laurelin, Boen, Arthur, and Anne should form an Anti-Socialite club. I nominate Darius as president. Their meetings could mainly consist of staring blankly at each other from across a table, either unsure of what to say or waiting for someone else to speak first.

It will be glorious.

Edit: Oh, a quick re-read of Arthur's bio reveals that he's not as Anti-Social as I thought.

Jamie runs the stables, so if any of you need to board some horses, I'd be welcome to collaborating with someone. If anyone is interested that is.

@Ever

The stables in the Royal City? Darius is going to be arriving with an escort, so they're going to have plenty of horses to drop off.

Those roads tho

The Destined (Soulmate RP)

Darius could end up at the Inn if he doesn't take a direct route, which could be justified if the route from Pryn to the Royal City has better, safer roads. I don't know if that's actually a thing though.

Also, I love the map. This may seem like a nitpick, but my only real issue is that I recall mentioning Elkwood and Daralt were separated by a river. Though I suppose it could just be said that the river is too small to show up on the map, so you don't need to move it if it's too much trouble.

Edit: Oh crap I already posted this.

Another music lover?

It would seem that the noble Lord Darius of House Arenar must stand alone against the Tyranny of the Tunes. The Musical Mayhem. The Sadistic Songs. The Rhythmic Rampage. The Menacing Melody. The Perilous Pitch. The Troublesome Tempo. The Treacherous Trebles. The Conniving Clefs. The Bardic... Badness.

The Destined (Soulmate RP)

This is very concerning.
