Ashes over the Rivianne Solaire [On Hiatus]

"I'm the master of this mansion, Countess Rivianne," the girl said, answering the young priest's question regarding her identity. "I apologize for the rough awakening, your senses may not be perfectly alright yet so it's understandable that you have doubts about your meal. Nevertheless, I assure you that none of which you have already consumed was tampered in any way other than any possible cooking mishap," the Countess said, setting her own silverware aside, after having finished her dinner.

In fact, just as she said so, the 'guests' reunited around the table would begin to notice their senses slowly coming back to them, the last of which was the sense of taste. While their minds had no recollection of being part of this dinner, the taste left behind by dinner's main dish, a sumptuous wildfowl spiced with expensive fine herbs, was impossible to negate.

"Perhaps it's time for the dessert? Please, come in, Hermiana," the Countess said before ringing a small bell.

Upon her command, the same servant that answered all those who called at the main door came in. She carried a silver tray, over which rested small crystal bowls of soft vanilla ice cream, decorated with chocolate chips and mint leaves, which she promptly laid before each 'guest' with a great deal of reverence. Once she was done serving the desserts, the maid returned to the Countess' side. She bowed lightly as a sign of respect to those sat at the table and held the tray before her, waiting for her mistress' next command.

Ice cream was a very expensive dessert, given how hard it was to maintain the temperatures needed to produce and store it, which was only made more luxurious by the addition of vanilla and chocolate. Certainly this was a dessert that wouldn't look out of place even in a royal dinner room, meant to impress foreign dignitaries and business magnates.

"Please, suit yourselves. Once we are done with our dinner, I can explain the Game to all of you," the Countess said before taking a taste of her own dessert. "Ah, yes, forgive me for not mentioning it earlier. Given that all of you came here in the adequate time, I believe that you are intent on taking part in the Game, right?" she added, before eating more of her dessert, waiting to see any of her 'guests' reactions.

@KoL

I'd be up for it.

@Bushman501

Fine. I'll send you a PM later.

Ashes over the Rivianne Solaire [On Hiatus]

I'll post at most tomorrow. Apologies, if it took too much time for me to piece my ideas.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Either way, I'll have Eris' post up to tomorrow. We can post their talk later as flashback if need be. I'm certainly interested on what Linda has to say to Eris. But want to move along as well.

The War of the Three

Where's the emotion on this battle, people? I was thinking of posting again today, or tomorrow, but with so little activity of the majority of the characters involved in the battle, I'm left with little to do as well.

We can probably toss some danger at some of you, if you think that it's not engaging enough. I may still have Helena and Diana do something regardless of all else, since they can act at this moment. Nevertheless, we would like to know if this isn't being of everyone's interest, so that we can either make adjustments or scrap the whole idea.

After all, forcing an event that's no interesting, is rather pointless and a good way to throw a wrench on the otherwise good rhythm of the RP.

@Bushman501

If you want we can do Eris and Linda's talk as a collab. I was thinking of going ahead and post about Eris' arrival at the hotel but I want to see if you are up for this first.

The priest of the village is basically as normal as the rest of the community. A man, around his late 50's/early 60's, with a stern look on his face, wearing clothes that look vaguely like those of a Catholic priest (as usual for anime-style stories) and a pendant with a stylized triangle (similar to the Triforce), with is the religion's main holy symbol, analogous to the Christianity's cross.

The triangle is a simplified representation of the unity of the Sun/Moon/Stars, Earth/Sea/Skies, and any other number of similar concepts. The unity of Triumvirate, which are said said to have graced the world with a new chance of life, giving the power people needed to stand against the armies of the Vile Goddess of Strife, who took the life/stole the divinity of all of the Old Gods, her own brothers and sisters in an attempt to usurp all of the world.

I'll elaborate a bit more on this later when I update the lore, but that's pretty much the gist of it.

Yes on both accounts. She promised something they'd both enjoy and she intends to keep it, so long as no shirtless men prove to be untrustworthy by peeping from the bushes :3

@Lonewolf685

Why would they need to? It's a Roman style bath, they can all indulge in the debauchery together.

Princess to Leblanc: "Oi! So that was you all the time?"

War Notes

Gonna delay my intro post to tomorrow.

@Bushman501

No worries.

Oh, damn, I remembered that I forgot to mention that there's a church in the village too. I guess that this is an opportunity to introduce the religion of the continent and the legend of the Goddess of Strife, if anyone goes there.

I'll add it to the lore post, since your characters are supposed to know at least a little bit about the faith they were born into, regardless of believing it or not.
