Haha, poor Nadia, she doesn't even know all that is coming to her.

I see. Oh I have to tell you that there's one thing wrong in your post that Nadalena wouldn't mistake that easily. Seyrun is actually a princess as well. She's the first one in Nordland's succession line, just waiting to come of age before taking the crown from Nordland's actual regent (her uncle), after her parents passed away a few years ago.

I'll elaborate that more IC, but her CS mention it already. Though, I guess it's not hard to forget as well, since Seyrun herself hasn't mentioned it even once after her first, or second IC post, and has quite a unique attitude.

Anyway, I was just noting that Nadia wouldn't likely let that detail that the Riviathan are Nordland's current royal house escape given that their nations certain have a history that goes back for quite a long time.

The War of the Three

"I see," was Eos' initial response to HR-513's request. The High Queen took a moment to consider it while commanding an android handmaiden to take the flowers away to her personal chambers. As soon as she reached a conclusion, Eos addressed the battle droid once again, "Your acceptance or not on the position you have requested will depend on your ability to complete a trial."

"In preparation for future necessities, the Machina require a complete chart of the Datascape. As soon as you have fulfilled this task, you shall be granted the authorization to perform the function of High Cartographer," Eos said as a holographic display close to her showed the message: [SUBJECT: DATASCAPE; INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION].

"Is there anything more that you would like to request?" the High Queen asked of Harvester.

At the hallowed halls of Celestia, more precisely at the Heavens' Grand Library, one of the Divine Imperator's newest retainers would have the chance for a rare meeting. Or better, it wasn't that the being Saef was about to meet was that elusive —even if that was partly true, given her true nature— but rather that not many people visited the Grand Library so, the chances of meeting The Librarian, were quite small for many of Celestia's best.

The feline being's presence was announced by the soft jiggling of her tail bell. Nevertheless, even in the rather silent ambient of the Grand Library, it only became audible when she was a mere few feet away from the former human.

"I have never seen you around here," she said in a slow, seemingly bored —or perhaps sleepy— voice while taking her time to give Saef a once over. Her trained eyes scanned the contents of the books and artifacts sprawled over the table in a mere moment. "If you want to learn about ancient history, these won't help you. You would be better off cherry picking runes at someplace like the Ruthria's ruins or Arcadia, than reading this."

"Depending on what you want to know, I may be able to help you. But, you can always search for the right answer on your own, if you know where to look. The world around yourself better than these dead tomes."

On the pits of Hell, a certain scarlet garbed bounty hunter would meet a quirkier individual. Standing not far away from the entrance of Pandemonium, the Hell's capital fortress, there was a... very unique looking being. At first, the azure demon girl didn't seen to have noticed Marie. In fact, she was talking with a truly sinister looking creature.

The demonic courier and the demon girl chatted until the moment when Marie was about to get to a normal human's earshot distance. In case her hearing was finer than this, the Bounty Hunter would be able to notice that the two of them were already saying their parting words. The rider mentioned having to deliver a message about the raise of the new rulers of Hell to the rest of the underworld before taking his leave.

The demon girl waved him off, turning around startled at Marie's approach. "Oh my, are here because of the news as well?" she said with a confident voice, completely ignoring the fact that she had nearly jumped out of her skin a moment ago. "And, if I say to you that the cherry of the cake is yet to be revealed, you may as well not believe me. It really looks like there ain't no rest for the wicked..." the demon girl went silent for a moment, as if assessing Marie's reaction, before adding in an apprehensive voice, "you got that one, didn't you?"

Fair enough! Anyway, her character is loosely based on one of my older ones from another RP named Rhelissa. Here's what I wrote for that character's personality if it's useful--

[+]

“This girl is as cold as the north wind.”
—Ser Jraoth

Many words have been said about Princess Rhelissa as a person and interpretations vary from person to person with some finding her alluring, pompous, crass, honest, quiet, and harrowing. Though the actual girl on the inside is much more complicated then such beliefs of her character suggest.

At the center of Rhelissa is a girl who refuses to trust others and lives by a philosophy that to protect herself from tyrannical actions and intent is to become tyrannical in turn. In many ways this falls into her safeguard and her shield to guard her emotions, insecurities, and fears from others. After all, a princess doesn’t allow others to concern themselves with her misgivings especially when she needs to look strong as a future ruler of her kingdom. This does sadly translate into a young woman who acts detached from others emotions which does strengthen the perspective that she is a pompous and insensitive individual. Though, if you asked Rhelissa it is likely that she prefers to be seen as such instead of weak and easily manipulated as it is what she sees as the alternative to the image she has defined. If someone were to gain her trust it would take much weathering of her perspective and even then Rhelissa would likely not admit it or even acknowledge that it has happened because if she were to trust she would be betraying what she has seen firsthand — she would never break her vow to never forget what she knows people are capable of and how insidious they truly are.

Beyond that, Rhelissa’s traits extend to her introspective and quiet nature; though that does not that mean she is particularly shy or unsociable. When she has one of her “moods” she can be excessively abrasive, crass, and blunt — especially if out of earshot from those who have right to scold her for it. She knows her station and will consistently remind people of the cold pragmatic truth of a situation in what she views as a sincere truth as she believes coddling their delusional fantasies of the world will only result in their own misfortune. But then again if it is misfortune that individual wants disguised as ideals, she’ll gladly let them have it but will keep a strong superior sensibility in her mind when she is proven right.

However, her crass and blunt honesty does not mean Rhelissa isn’t sympathetic towards others. She wants to ensure harm does not befall others like she has seen despite themselves possibly being potential enemies or rivals, but given her trust issues she will never open up to them unless given ample reason to due to her doubts of what such heartfelt weakness could bring. Princesses do not show weakness, give opportunity to be manipulated, or make true friendship out of naïve ideals — that would be the doom of them. Such sympathy goes towards other ways, although subtle and sometimes insular. She always treats her servants with at least enough respect that they deserve as fellow humans, but if she has wronged them would not be in mind to apologize. Perhaps this is an obsession on “appearing weak”, but despite this she is not dark-hearted in reality and when she overhears the words people say about her she does not bear them without sorrow. She doesn’t want to be thought ill of, but she cannot let people know how it affects her. Not ever.

@Inkarnate

Very interesting. I'll take a proper look at this later but the first sentence is already very catchy.

Looks good! Though the only thing I'd like to say is Nadalena shouldn't be seen as having a 'short fuse' because she is very good at hiding her extreme apprehension for people and social events! She can be dismissive and a bit snipey at times (similar to a Olenna Tyrell, I suppose) but she does not have emotional control issues. I apologize if that what is seem I conveyed with her character!

Beyond that, good to get some interaction (that I didn't miss) here. Curious to see where we go from here.

@Inkarnate

I see it. But its not that hard to think that she may have a bipolar temper. At least not from the way she is so hard to socialize with that's really more from Seyrun's POV. I guess that you could say that she's trying to be cautious, perhaps?

Oh no, Fitzgerald. Welp, I guess either a red slip or a yellow slip is coming. The problem is I do not know which!

@Bushman501

Fufufu. Poor Tilia, she just can't catch a break.

Seyrun Riviathan

St. Hirst Academy, Dining Hall, Midday

"My my, if I knew that you wanted to talk, I could have... arranged it long ago. Detention always has space for one more, is it not?" Seyrun said to Sina, jesting. "Don't worry, I'm just kidding. If I get the red slip I will not be able to take a look at that Mystery Investigation Society. I'm rather curious about what kind of mystery they are looking to snoop."

That was right about when Nadalena that sword-carrying, vibrantly red-haired girl that Seyrun wasn't yet acquainted to came in to their table. The blue-haired girl couldn't help but notice the knightly aura that new girl seemed to have. It was something really worthy of being called her dashing. In fact, Seyrun had to kind of slap herself to dismiss the fairytale driven thoughts.

As soon as the other two claimed their places at the table, Seyrun said "I'm glad to see you again, Nadia. I'm also glad to see that you seem to be overcoming your... social apprehension." Seyrun spoke in as softly as she could, not meaning to trigger the Espenovan's well-known short fuse. Even then, she decided to try to be a bit more intimate with the dark-haired girl. All there years here and Seyrun still barely knew the only schoolmate she had a high chance of remaining in contact with after they graduate. From this year onward, she was determined to crack Nadalena's shell.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I'm Seyrun Riviathan, of Nordland," Seyrun said as she turned to face the redheaded girl. And this is Miss Sina Segert. We were just getting personally acquainted right now, so it's a pleasure to have you join us.

Right about that time, Seyrun spotted the unmistakable figure of the Academy's number one troublemaker entered the dinner hall as well. With nearly all tables occupied, save the one the quartet shared, the Nordic girl felt obliged to wave for Tilia. "I hope that none of you mind having more company for lunch. It seems like our numbers are about to raise," Seyrun said to the other girls before raising her voice a bit, "Miss Fitzregald, we have some more free seats over here, if you don't yet have company," and calling for Tilia.

It was so early and things were already so rowdy. Certainly, this was going to be quite a memorable school year. That Seyrun was certain of.

@Silvan Haven

I'll have someone meet Saef on my next post, maybe even @Lmpkio's new character too. Let's see.

The War of the Three

Did someone miss this?

The War of the Three

Heaven would have more going on if the players wanted it to have more going on. That's not something that the GMs can do on their own.

The War of the Three

I'll do a post with Eos sometime up to tomorrow. I just want you all to be aware that we are likely moving on to the next battle in short order.

The War of the Three

And only one will make it out alive.
