@BlackPanther But it's so much fun.
Not to mention it's good for them.

Max: We've gone over this...thanks but no thanks.
Hush you.

I imagine Ara's perspective might prove a barrier...if I can find a reason to have it be relevant....
Shame he hates Spring so. =/

Ara: Nyx, I really don't recommend antagonizing Feoras when we're already looking at a possible alliance of Winter and Fall....

Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

@BlackPanther He was trained not to care for people? Oh, because he started as a human? Hm...I guess fey do have to be more cautious with their love and their hatred, as they live so much longer, but I'm not sure why he'd be told not to feel much of anything. If he was trained, he didn't take to it well. Seeing as how there was that whole thing with the mortal woman....

Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

@Belle Trying to put things behind him -- being bitter because he realizes he's lost her, and is trying to save face, at least in his own mind -- actually is an indication of caring, at least the way I see it. ^.^

@BlackPanther Wooo, yay!

Wings Askew

@Disciple Cain Sorry to see you go, Cain. *waves sadly* Take care.

Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

@BlackPanther I am pleased to see Feoras reacting so...fiercely. *grins* This is gonna be exciting, but it's also kinda sad that he can dismiss his feelings so easily. ONe wonders if they will torment him later...~

@LadyRunic Erps, missed the "before" part. ^.^;

@Prince of Seraphs Hm...I know in warring states there's often walls or barbed wire or something. But the Fey Realm being what it is, you have maybe a few roads crossing the borders of the courts, and then a great deal of wilderness, which a large number of fey would be used to moving through. Checkpoints only catch the people that go near them. Are there magical barriers, or something? Runic? I mean, on the one hand unaligned/wild fey probably have a bit of an area of their own, sort of a buffer between the different courts, which is hard to do if the barriers are up all the time, but on the other...if there's no barriers at all, then it's nearly impossible to keep people out if they want in. In general that can be handled, but at a time like this I could see raising barriers and allowing only monitored crossing points to be used.

This no doubt annoys the unaligned fey in the buffer zone no end, when barriers go up and keep them from moving freely in certain parts of their normal haunts (I would think the buffer has a little overlap with the very edges of the courts on either side), but then most court fey have very little regard for the wild ones.

Crescent Dagger Camp

@Blizz Writing up a sheet for Delshad, because I know full well I'm going to use him a bunch. >.< Sorry...Wait, no I'm not really. ^.^;

He's more than thirty, though. Probably more than forty...oops.

He was /supposed/ to be very minor, closer to an NPC. I'm sorry. I can't control my creations very well at all.... >.<;;

Delshad

Name: Delshad
Age: 39

Appearance: Delshad is a large man, tall and broad and well-fed, though a few years in the camp have turned a large portion of his pudge into muscle. He has dark skin and darker hair, usually done in a bunch of tiny braids. He keeps himself clean-shaven, and his face is creased by deep laugh lines and crow's feet. There’s a couple wrinkles in his brow as well, but these are not nearly so pronounced. The man usually has on a cook’s apron, and he keeps his sleeves rolled up if they fall past his elbows. It is not unusual for there to be smudges of flour on his person.

Personality: A good-natured man, Delshad is quick with a smile or a kind word. He loves cooking and it is his life’s mission to make sure the inhabitants of Crescent Dagger Camp always have the best food he can possibly make with the supplies he has. He is highly attuned to what goes on in his “kitchen”, and while he can no longer press various treats upon all visitors he tries to at least have a few spare ones for those who are especially young, especially needy, or both. In his opinion, food is the cure to a lot of problems. If someone has a cold, then it’s chicken broth. A sore throat is soothed by one sort of tea, and the nightmares of children by another. A bad day can be improved by a pastry or sweetmeat, along with a listening ear. He gives advice freely, to the best of his ability, and he exudes contentment with his place in the world and a sense of general well-being.

Weapon: None, but he’s strong that his bare fists can do a good amount of damage.

Other:
Wasting food is a /huge/ no. Don’t let him catch you trying to sneak your vegetables into the compost. Firstly, there’s likely someone that will eat it if you won’t, and secondly you need to eat them to stay healthy. A number of the camp’s younglings have learned this the hard way, given extra kitchen duty after getting caught trying to dispose of unsavory menu items. Now it’s more a matter of finding someone willing to “steal” something they don’t like off their plate, though that too is frowned upon. Nikki has also been taught a lesson she won’t soon forget, after wrecking a large portion of a meal by switching the salt and the sugar.

Taking food without asking is also a no, and all but impossible if he’s present. However if you actually ask he is far more willing, and reasonable requests are usually met. Even if he can’t accommodate someone, Delshad usually finds something to send them off with, even if it’s a mere nibble.

He is a brilliant cook, and can make a good meal from just about anything. He is likewise able to stretch supplies farther than one would expect. These two abilities have lead to more than a few whispers that he uses some sort of magic in his cooking. He doesn’t -- it’s all skill -- but that doesn’t make it any less impressive.

Delshad was the head cook for a wealthy merchant with refined tastes. He’d worked hard for his position after he finished his training as a chef, and prided himself on his skill and creativity in the kitchen. He earned a bit of local fame for it, but when someone out to hurt his employer engineered things so Delshad would take the fall, he found himself with no job and a destroyed reputation. He misses the fine, varied, and readily available ingredients that he used to have to work with, but there’s a different sort of accomplishment in meeting the challenges presented by his new position. He was bitter about it for a while, but there’s no sense in crying over spilt milk and Delshad has come to love the thieves of Crescent Dagger, and looks after them every bit as well as he looked over his old household.

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

The child was clearly disappointed that he didn't know the songs, but not particularly surprised. It had been a long shot, asking for Ydran tunes from a Muran man, even if he did work at an inn. "No, it's...it's fine, I was just asking." Amuné didn't feel like singing nor even humming, and the ballad in particular was complicated. Half tragic love story, half a story of hope, she didn't want to hear it if it wasn't done well, and she knew better than to think she could teach it properly. She fell silent again for a while, turning Geoffrey's question over in her head and trying to decide if she wanted to bother answering.

"She shouldn't have said that. Not to Cecil." The quiet words were spoken slowly and without much energy. Amuné wasn't looking at the man, instead focusing on Wyth. "Being alone hurts...and he's been alone...." She trailed off, her tone upset again. There was more to it, but this was someone new, not Ethan. The girl had only just met him and he might be nice and maybe he hadn't said anything after seeing the others were Magi, but he wasn't Magi himself and he was Muran and she just didn't trust him the same way she trusted Ethan. She had no intention of telling him about her own gift, particularly since he seemed to be Zander's friend and she did /not/ trust the healer. And she didn't want to say too much about Cecil, either. That wasn't her secret to share. Amuné lifted her head enough to look over at the flautist. "I hope Ethan can help with that...."

Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

@LadyRunic Being brought by Falk would be after the end of the Moot, though. And alright. I know that Nyx actually closed Spring's borders, at least for now, though doubtless there's stuff in place to open them with a close guard, if the Moot goes too long.

Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

@Ojo chan 42 "taking after" isn't really...Alright, let's see if I have this right. Runic will correct me if Im' not, I'm sure.

She has her species, which is kelpie. The Court bit is her allegiance. It's very looked down on, but there /are/ fey who change courts, or who grow up in one and swear to another. The latter is better than the former, of course. And it's also frowned upon to be raised across court boundaries -- a father in one court and a mother in a different one. But I'm sure it happens.
