Post by Lady Shaden Aramoire on Sept 10, 2008 19:00:54 GMT -6
Shaden Aramoire: Shaden appeared at the arched doorway leading into the
ballroom.. icy green satin vied for attention with her eyes.. and copper
curls that were hastily pinned up, and a bit tousled looking from who knew
what... she stood for a moment framed within the arch as her eyes cast about
looking for a familiar form one copper brow raise.. wondering if she was to be
disappointed ?
LadyStLaurence: The Countess never sought to disappoint, never sought to
arrive too late nor press herself in an unacceptable way. One couldn't go
about as an uncivilized heathen if they were aristocracy now could they?
Demeter's daughter Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. A fitting costume
arranged by a Grecian gown in the shade of pomegranate flesh's sanguine
fruit, silks flowing from beneath cinched breasts and golden shoulder clasps.
Her hair was left down to curl in the fashion of ancient's, her face concealed at
the eyes behind only a sheer strip of tulle.
Kendrew had not much to tell of himself nor of the clothes
he wore, in opinion, the truest bit of thing to view would be a woman on his
arm - the intended woman. The new Lord Campbell was given a cant of head or a
bow, to which he was by no means used to .He had danced his dances. He had jested his jests but
tonight he felt as though he slipped below the mantle of a warm, secret
mystery and was learning the mystery of what it was to see poetry move
Shaden Aramoire: A frown marred the features beneath the icy green silk
mask.. he was not there.. how... well.. rude.. sweet lips formed into a pout
as she moved on into the room.. finding an empty table and well.. plopping
down with the mantle of disappointment heavy upon her shoulders.
LadyStLaurence: Golden sandals had laces go up the lengths of her leg to tie
just below her thighs. Naked feet occasionally peeked from under the gown as
she made her way in, unescorted. Now was not the time to work, but to
socialize. Persephone would move near the woman of red fire for hair
Shaden Aramoire: A servant passed by with a platter of pastries and wine..
and served the courtesan from it.. noting the fire haired one was out of
sorts and quite sullen.. this eve as compared to the last few nights.. she
asked was there anything she could do.. and was kindly declined.. " There is nothing
wrong that you could right dear.. your service is impeccable " she smiled at
the young girl and offered her a coin from a velvet purse for her caring..
" Do see that my glass stays full.. though.. I feel I may need a bit of
liquid company this night "She looked up as the Greek Goddess made her appearance and
nodded softly Rising, and dipping a low Curtsey.. " Mi Lady " she spoke in respectful tones... as she straightened back up..
LadyStLaurence: "My Lady, I passed you yester eve but we did not share names.
I am the Countess St. Laurence, Lady Claramae. You, surely you must be an
enchantress with such a flame for hair."
Shaden Aramoire: Shaden Aramoire Newly Arrived to these lands " she
extended a delicate satin gloved hand about it's wrist a diamond bracelet
that flared to brilliance under the candlelight in the room " Currently
residing at the Briar Rose " she gave as little information as possible cause it was
often times those of Noble Lineage look down upon Courtesans, and she
presently was in no mood for a catfight screaming match on how courtesans
ruined the sanctity of marriage this night. " A pleasure to meet you Lady Claramae"
LadyStLaurence: "Lady Aramoire, equally a pleasure. I am residing 'pon the
High Streets-at-Chapel in a fine little place during my stay." Captured hand
was taken with the delicacy it was given. To some, they were two vipers
meeting around the same apple tree in Eden. No sanctity of marriage for no
such rings were on Claramae's hands, only bangles of hammered gold and tiny
garnet and ruby gemstones with encrusted diamonds, teardrop diamond earings
and the touches of a woman of her own independent means.
Shaden Aramoire: " Will you join me.. a servant has just laid the table
with a light repast.. " her hand withdrew indicating the platters of meats,
cheese, fruits and pastries, along with a bottle of wine and placesettings
for six about the table occupied by one.. " The company of such a fine Lady would
be a pleasure " she smiled warmly at her as she moved to retake her seat.
LadyStLaurence: "Thank you for such an invitation, I would be most
delighted." The food was sumptious, the table laden, and they would go to
sup together. "One Lady in company with another far more fine, assuredly.
Though it suprises me to see youalone this night. What sin is has been committed! Surely
whomever left you alone should be deprived of his head.
Shaden Aramoire: She chuckled as she sat, pouring Claramae a glass of wine,
and passing it toward her " As I said I am newly arrived and have not made
the aquantience of many.. " she declined to name the one who had indeed left
her to her own fancy.. but he would pay.. granted with the coldest of
shoulders next time they crossed paths.. perhaps their earlier talk had sunk
in thru his thick skull and he had come to his senses and ran off willy nilly
in fear of his heart? that was certainly one scenario.. that came to mind.. or
that he had simply had his bit of fun and that was that.. in which case.. he
should savor it for it would be the last.. these thoughts played in her mind
before she snapped back to entertaining her present table mate.. " So.. tell
me about yourself Countess " there was one thing you could always count on..
the fact that Nobility loved to talk about themselves...
LadyStLaurence: "Oh, there is not much to tell that would be of fascination.
A moment of fun in a sea of work, my lady." Her mouth pulled into prim, soft
smile. From inside of her sash a fan of feathers was unfurled to fan away the
bit of heat swept through in the press of bodies. "Thank you." She took
the wine and enjoyed again the wonderful vintage. "I wanted to see to the
land of our allies, those of Avaria, this is certainly a pleasant stop in the
tour."
Shaden Aramoire: "work?" the ascension of the note it ended on signifying
the query as she begin to serve herself a few pieces of Fruit and pastries..
indicating with her other hand that her Table Mate should do the same " What
is it that you do?” curious and information was always a good thing to be in
possession of she listed to the Woman with great interest as she begin to eat
some of the delicacies on her plate..
LadyStLaurence: "Ambassador on behalf of Avaria." There seemed to be more
to be said but one never gave too much. Certainly, if too much was given why
would more be sought for. " Whatever his Majesty seeks of importance."
Shaden Aramoire: "His Majesty.. that would be.. Apollo" she was only
beginning to remember names and such of important folks, not really .. but it
was a ruse to look simple and innocuous when gathering information. " Sound
like a very important position.." she wondered if Claramae was a courtesan
because in Venice well she had had the same Job.. what ever the Prince
wanted.. of her.. he got (d)
LadyStLaurence: Oh no. The only rumpled bed sheets and man moaning her name
was a very lucky, lucky, living one indeed. "Aye, tis close enough." For
seeking information from the wall was akin to scaling that mythical monster
of Chinese proportions. Each was a top of her trade - of which all that was
insidious, unscrupulous, on the marble floors of Europe she was a
thoroughbred master.
Nobility Divine: ~ Meanwhile, Masque Heralds travel to every Chamber in use
for the Masque to announce the start of the Tower Rescue in the Banquet Hall
... ~
Shaden Aramoire: A look of utter dismay crossed her masked features as her
gaze lifted to Claramae once the Tower game was announced " I signed up for
that game when I thought I had a rescuer.. " she sighed softly and downed her
wine.. "Come on might as well.. be sociable Lady Claramae" she stood and
awaited the other Lady to join in the tower fun.. climbing to her proper
position high above the dance floor.. infectious fun it was.. and she could not help but
quip.. " repunzel repunzle let down thy hair " as she looked out the mock
window of the towers.
LadyStLaurence: "Ah. Well. What can it hurt, after all. When in Rome." She
followed her companion so that Persephone could join another bevy of
giggling ladies in climbing up a tower to be rescued. Lifting her skirts, a
peek of leg was visible as people clamored for a place!
Aegraine: The height of the tower did not phase her, and she peered out into
the room, curious to see what was going to happen next.
Morgan Grey: Morgen had arrived...about fifteen minutes ago. Dressed in his
freshly new tailored black blouse with frills on the collar that spilled onto
his chest and silver embroidery on the cuffs; the very fine and elegant work
of the Manx Shepardess. Whom he was now looking for. As the Tower game was
called he did spot her, at least who he thought was her, and lined up.
VeiledProphecy: Announcement of the game had a smile flashing and Liliana
loosed herself from Kendrew's arm. A delicate touch of gloved hand to his
arm, a sparkle in chocolate eyes, as she then turned on slipperier heel to
await at the top.of the tower.
Glorious Myths: Blinking wide blues eyes as her friend, the kitchen maid she
met on her first day there in this new land for her, was dragging her by the
hand, laughing as deep blue lace surrounded her eyes in a lovely simple mask.
Laughing a as she was tugged, she'd shake that blonde head of hers. "I
'ave no one to rescue me! Oo! Ye devil girl.." More laughter was she was
tugged along, slim figure wrapped in a matching blue that was near black,
silver fluers on her cuffs.
Kendrew : "Och I see how it be. Now you're goin' to make me run for
you." Not that he minded the view of that dress lifting up as far as reason
would allow for the exercise He was but one of a good few stout hearted lads. A few had
eyes on the woman that was his, and that would simply not do!
JackoftheFaerie: It seemed fitting, somehow, that the Irish pirate captain
had affected the persona of Mannan Mac Luir, Irish God of the Sea, for the
evenings entertainment. Although the Irishman wore simple clothing, there
was little doubt of who or what he played as. The clothing he were was of a green,
somewhere between the warm green of the Caribbean and the green of the sea,
with a spilling and spraying of lace at his throat and at his wrist. The
Irishman had kept to himself, at least somewhat, during the night's
entertainment. But when he had jested with his fellows, it had been done
with a mischievousness and rakish charm that seemed to capture perfectly the
essence of the Irish sea god.
LadyStLaurence: How the hells did they coax Beathag up onto that that
contraption? Now who would want to pull her down amidst a bevy of fair, more
scantly clad maids? But as it were she was a prized heifer among spring
chickens so if it was for the good of the nation, why not?
Shaden Aramoire: She watched from her tower window.. at the eager young men
who lined up to the giggling ladies.. and smiled lightly as Beathag was
even amongst the Prizes.. there were a quite a few faces she did not know..
amongst the Ladies and of the men the only one she could put name to was the
moonstruck calf Kendrew who even now was so absorbed in the sight of his
beloved.. he was blind to the rest of the room.. So she did what she did
best.. pasted on a smile.. And pulled out a lace embroidered handkerchief and waved it..
toward the assembled men.. but would refuse to cry out " save me save me "
that was just asking too much.
Glorious Myths: "This is so odd.." Her slim fingers gripped Sal's arm as she
moved to peek out at the other girls, her head tilting again, then turning
towards Sal's whispering.
Aegraine: She shook the edge of the constructed tower, instinct telling
her this was a safe enough tower.” I can see over the entire hall." This part of it was fun.
Morgen Grey: He hadn't planned on doing this. But, he had one target now.
And if anyone got her before him, the Ambassador may result in...less cordial
procedure of obtaining her. He crossed his arms, all determination now.
Kendrew: " I see you m'love, and I will be gettin' ye!" Kendrew
called out as he made ready on the starting line.
LadyStLaurence: "This is too hilarious." Vincere would simply fall over
laughing at this story when she came home. She even waved a hanky as a favor
for some prince charming, she supposed? She giggled behind her hand .
AIendral: Alendral slapped his hands together and grinned viciously, having
traded his costume for the showman's suit, black and red, though he had his
eyes on more then a simple dance, per say. He passed a look to his
'competition' and then to the various prizes up on the tower, almost mirthful as he
considered which one he literally felt like rescuing--or mucking things up,
as it were. Had to get his kicks somehow, after all.
VeiledProphecy: Lift of brow could not be seen behind the silver mask that
hid her face, but chocolate eyes sparkled and lips parted at the shout from
Kendrew. Giggling softly, she'd look around her at the others and then back
toward the man she hoped would rescue her
Nobility Divine: ~ Once all the men were lined up at the far end of the
cleared floor serving as the courtyard of the makeshift Tower, with all
hopeful ladies sprinkled about it's lower two levels...the Baroness would
step forth at the very top and call unto all present with a graceful air an
poise. "Honored guests and friends, let us now commence the Tower Rescue.
Where our Lords may attempt to infiltrate the tower to claim our most prized
treasures. Or fall victim to the Sirens that guard it. Only once all
couples are claimed by the hand, may their prizes be revealed. And to follow,
we shall end our dances with a traditional Waltz. And now, Sirens...if you'll
take your places. And my Lords, at the sound of the harps ...
Happy hunting!" And with that, The Baroness' 10 Ladies in waiting would
assume their positions, sprinkled amidst the paid acrobats who bent and
curled as live statues to further hinder the brave Knights as obstacles to
clear before easily scaling the sturdy Tower.
Kendrew: Kendrew was ready. Ready! No acrobat, nymph, or combination
would keep him from his prize whom he planned to enjoy most thoroughly.
DestinyOfValor: Danae had entered in her usual fashion of quietly and
cautiously, keeping to the edges of the crowd. Dancing along the shadows and
keeping to herself until a call was made for participants of the illusionists
little show. Danae would volunteer and take her place as instructed. Mask and
dress much the same as they had been for the two nights she had already been
here.
Morgen Grey: As he waited his hands lifted to clasp his cloak at his throat,
hiding his black blouse so she would not recognize it instantly when he found
her. He looked up to Ari and the corner of his mouth pinched into a small
smirk(d)
Glorious Myths: She was excited, though no one would claim her, she would
tease Sal relentlessly for the game. Smiling wide as she scooted behind her,
moving back so she would not be in the way, she didn't want anyone to
mistakenly claim her. [d]
AIendral: Asking the Illusionist to scale a castle was rather like asking a
farmer to till the field, and he grinned relentlessly, blowing elaborate
kisses to any poor girl that actually looked his way and passing a
mischievous look at the poor man who was so love-struck that he didn't even notice the
other prizes, silently deciding that, for no other reason then he could (and
perhaps that he didn't see Caden among them) he was going to make his life as
difficult as possible for no other reason then to add a little thrill into
the poor man's pursuit.
