The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

Haha so true! I love it!

I'll work on a description for the ladies to send over so we can add it in!

The shoulder is much better thank you! How are you today?

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Everything was overwhelming for Iris and as much as she wanted to appear confident, not falter in her words and stop the tears from falling she couldn’t help it. Exhaustion washed over her and it was hard to stop the steady flow of tears that left her eyes from the Monarchs questions, what made it worse was the fact Caspain was sticking up for her against his own father and she knew the truth, she knew her own truth that she did not belong here. Even though she had named a place, granted Cas had told her about it but it was the only solid thing she had a memory of here and it still didn’t ease up the King. Deep down Iris couldn’t blame him for it either.

I need to get out of here, for everyone’s sake. If I just disappear no one gets hurt right? Feeling a pang in her heart at the thought of disappearing it wasn’t true; she would hurt both herself and Cas and crush whatever budding feelings that were growing for one another. It’s for the best, he will hate you anyway when he finds out the truth. They all will. You can’t have feelings for him. It was hard not to flinch at the Monarchs tone, the way he spoke she honestly felt like she was going to be locked in a cell no matter what she said or defended. Iris had no solid base, nothing to build off of and she knew the tiny fragments of her memory were not enough to sate him.

Feeling her chest tighten she felt her hands grip at the fabric of her clothes knuckles turning white as he mentioned calling the guards for questioning, her stomach was in knots and before she could open her mouth to plead and beg with him not too Cas had jumped to her defence. Glancing over at him she could feel the guilt building, he was trying to help her, and it only made her feel worse because she was lying to him and it hadn’t been intentional.

Cas… why? You have such a strong belief in me and I’m only going to hurt you.

Looking down at her hands avoiding the Monarchs gaze when he narrowed his eyes at her she could see her form shaking, she was frightened because she felt trapped, she truly was a deer caught in headlights as the saying went. There would not be an easy way out and it wasn’t just her anymore, Ethan was hiding in her room and if they found out she was done for.

No high born is coming for me, he’s right Cas. As much as I wish I could be a regular citizen here. Hang out with you, get to know you more. It will never happen. Bright blue eyes continued to water, and she found it hard to find her voice between the two deciding her fate.

Sat in the wardrobe Ethan had pressed his ear against the wood listening in as they decided his girlfriends’ fate, well is she really my girlfriend? I can’t really call her that. Ethan pushed the thoughts to one side as he listened on feeling tense inside being unable to do anything. However, at the mention of sending her to the soldiers he felt his whole body stiffen, he would not wish anyone to be sent to the soldiers as their techniques regardless of gender were cruel. On him he still had a particular pill that if crushed it meant no answers would leave his mouth, it was a small price to pay to keep the rebels plans a secret. She doesn’t even know the plans fully; her memories are so fragmented.

A better solution? Looking up slightly as Cas seemed to think of something, a brain scan? How long will that take to set up? How much time do I have? Although… it will show I have amnesia, I never lied about that and I still don’t know much… just that I don’t belong here. The pause between the proposal and Atlas thinking about it felt like eternity to her, this would give her the chance to escape. But should I tell Cas the truth first?

Feeling a wave of relief as he had accepted the idea that Cas proposed her body relaxed slightly, it was short lived however when she heard the last words that Atlas directed at her. Flinching she looked down at the floor, hands trembled once more as she thought on what the soldiers would do if she was caught out. Far more than just question? Her heart raced as she felt her skin clam up, the nausea feeling returning as she couldn’t focus on it anymore. Closing her eyes, she didn’t want anymore tears to fall, she hated the fact she was so vulnerable in front of them and the exhaustion didn’t help things. Waiting to hear him leave she tried to compose herself, but the flood of emotions was hard to control as she felt a huge weight on her shoulders on the situation, she had landed herself in.

Thank the heavens, there isn’t much time, but I will get her out of here. I will convince her to bring the Prince so they can’t torture anymore of our men. She will see my side after this, our cause will resonate with her once more. Relaxing within the cupboard he didn’t dare leave just in case the Prince had stayed, after defending her so valiantly he didn’t think he would just leave her. Princes and their noble cause. Pulling a face as he folded his arms knowing it was going to be a long day.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Omg for a moment I thought Iris was done for!! I can only imagine how he would be towards her even though she helped rescue Cas xD

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

Yeah we can let everything settle and give it a little while before the attempts come into play!

Oh wow! I hope they don't cause you too much trouble. Thank you! I'm sure my shoulder will be alright, it's more of a nuisance than anything haha.

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

Ohhh, that would be quite interesting! We don't have too! It was more because Elise feels like she could be poisoned as she is still very wary in enemy territory. Plus she'd rather be killed via poison than being stabbed xD

Ohhh least it sounds quite exciting! Hopefully it's not too bad for you then! I've been alright! I've done something to my shoulder though as it's quite painful but other than that I'm having a relaxing day before back at work tomorrow.

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

Awesome! I can't wait!

I'm already creating some of the NPCS for Eorzia, the higher court nobles and advisers!

How have you been though?

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

I've added some more to my character profile for Elise! Just adding bits in about her family :3

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

At least I am not the only one who feels awkward in this encounter. Looking back at the food in front of her she tried to focus on anything else but the King who was sat right next to her, it was hard not to feel somewhat awkward around him. It was easy enough to shoot men down and their feeble attempts at courting, but this was a completely different matter as her father had sold her off already. For some stupid land, although by the looks of it his people could do with the greenery. I highly doubt much can grow here. Focusing on her thoughts she had barely caught the fact he had replied to her about being happy with her quarters.

Reaching out for a piece of bread she hesitated slightly looking over at him as he blew on the hot soup before eating. The words he had spoken told a different story, a part of her was curious as she wondered on if she had offended him in some way or perhaps something was wrong. Well he would hardly speak about it to me. Glancing back at the roll she let her hand drop from reaching out and instead went for more wine over the food, she could smell the soup in front of her and she knew she should eat regardless of her appetite waning at his venomous words.

Are you trying to scare me? Or is this something to coddle your own ego? Watching as he had turned from her and began to speak with Manawyndan exchanging quite brutal war stories, no doubt in her mind about it being her people he had slaughtered as he seemed to focus on the bloodiest of battles. Fighting the urge to roll her eyes she looked away not entertaining the idea anymore, she would simply focus on eating her food. Perhaps the main course, I’ve gone off the idea of soup. Under the table her hand touched her stomach as if the warm touch of her hand would quell the nausea but all she was met with was the soft fabric of her dress.

Drawn from her thoughts she looked over at one of the Formori who had addressed her, offering a smile as she looked over the woman, she couldn’t help but think how beautiful she was. The striking colour of her hair and jewellery that matched her eyes, it was hard not to appreciate how well the colours of her dress to the accessories and hair that all tied in together beautifully. “It’s a pleasure to meet you Lady Cheldarine.” Following her gesture as she introduced her eldest son to the youngest. “Thank you.” Eyes glanced over at the adolescent who had refilled her glass of wine before turning back to Lady Cheldarine, excited at the idea of talking to someone else.

Laughing softly alongside Cheldarine as she hinted towards her son taking his duty and not wanting a mother to distract him, “He will miss it one day, no matter how old nothing can break a bond of a mother and their child.” Smiling as she glanced back over at the royal cup bearer before returning her attention to Cheldarine, “Oh don’t apologise for boasting about your children, I expect nothing less from a proud mother.” It brought fond memories of her own, Elise had been very close to her mother until an illness had claimed her life but that did not mean she stopped loving her.

Feeling her own smile falter slightly as she continued on about being far from home and surrounded by strangers, it was difficult, and she wanted nothing more than to speak with her brother or feel the safety of being within her own palace walls but she couldn’t. “I’m adjusting, it’s… different getting used to change but so far everyone has been quite welcoming.” If you don’t count the people that wished my death on the way, then I guess everyone has been somewhat welcoming. Even the King in his own way, well least he did not throw me in a cell and keep me as a prisoner like my father had thought would happen… well hoped so that he had a reason to return to war.

Trying to push back her troubling thoughts she took another sip of her wine before placing it down noting she should pace herself; the smell of fish caught her attention as the main course was set down in front of her. Reaching for the cutlery she caught sight of her pale hands making a mental note to try and sleep this evening as she knew she would only come off worse if she didn’t. Tucking into the main course she was a little slow to eat due to the worry her stomach would reject it, however she was pleasantly surprised with the taste and how the food seemingly warmed her up easing one of her many worries until a dark thought crossed her mind.

Perhaps I will get poisoned, a nice easy way to be killed I guess unless it’s not a fast acting poison and causes agony.

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

Haha that's fine! Take your time :)

I love how the map looks! You did an amazing job! I can't wait to add more places~

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

Elise had been mingling with the crowd, a few polite words here and there. Thanking those for the compliments of her dress and looks even if they were fake, she still had to be polite. Thankfully her ladies had helped and provided support with names, common things of interest to talk about in the small talk and without them she would have drowned. They had been a great asset and it was hard to fault them in any way as Atarah, Flora and Ida had all done their part to help her even though she was an Eorzian. It felt draining the fact she had to constantly smile, small talk with these nobles who no doubt wished her death and laugh at the jokes they would make regardless on if it belittled her country.

It was taxing on her, she was already exhausted from the lack of sleep and keeping up appearances was hard around such a vast amount of people. What I would give to be at home in the gardens reading and avoiding social events, or even just staying in my room here. As much as she was the Princess of Eorzia and was forced to attend court she did make quite the effort not to go, her brother Ravus used to drag her along to keep him sane but the Eorzian court was full of fake nobles all wanting to gain favour with the King. There were several noble ladies that used to throw themselves at her brother and he didn’t deny them, he had plenty a conquest ruining their reputations. No standards, either of them. Although many a lady thought that sleeping with the crown prince of Eorzia would gain them some sort of favour it didn’t. Ravus had his heart closed off and knew that it was just fun for him even though she did not approve of such actions.

Glancing up as she heard the clash of a gong, she assumed that meant it was time for the feast, feeling the relief wash over her as it meant less small talk and she could eat something. Although it was partly her own fault as she didn’t eat the food provided yesterday or todays breakfast, more because her stomach was still unsettled from nerves and at least with no food in her stomach there was no fear of throwing up in front of everyone. That would no doubt cause a bit of a scandal and laugh at her expense.

Following Atarah and her ladies as they escorted her to the next room where the feast would be held, she took in how the great hall looked glancing around she came to the same conclusion that it was still as beautiful as the other rooms she had seen so far. It was wider than the throne room but that was due to the fact this was to sit everyone for food so it made sense, she could see the tables all set out and her eyes set on the two chairs taller than the others. I’ll have to sit next to him, make small talk? The last time we spoke we angered each other. I can’t let myself get angry in front of all these people.

One of the ushers gestured to her place and she moved beside Ozragad standing in place waiting for him to sit before she would do so herself. That was proper etiquette and she would follow it as there was no question about showing outward rudeness to him in front of others. Following suit, she sat herself down and watched as the atmosphere came to life in the hall, people chatting amongst themselves and she saw the first course come out being served to everyone. The smell of fresh baked bread made her smile, she loved the smell of fresh bread and it excited her to try out the food that was being served at the feast.

Oh, thank heavens, is that wine? I could do with a stiff drink. Smiling to herself as she saw her own goblet filled, reaching out she took a sip of her drink before looking over at the King who had spoken. Nodding politely, she set the goblet down smiling, “The accommodation is wonderful, thank you for providing it as it’s most comfortable.” There was no lie in her words, the Silver Tower was more than enough for her and the room itself was beautiful with everything she could need. Plus, the seneschal that had been provided for her was lovely and accommodating, something she had worried about before arriving here but so far everything seemed okay.

“Did you sleep well?” Grimacing at her own question she was not too good at small talk and the exhaustion didn’t help either. “The feast looks absolutely wonderful, thank you for hosting such an event.” Better, who even asks did you sleep well? Idiot. Reaching back for the goblet she took another drink of her wine to distract herself from the not so great small talk she had made.
