Another sub-event is under way! Around the same time as the Fort Attack (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16012.msg167476#msg167476), the nobles will be invited to a massive ball to take place in the Duchy of Hellvion under Duchess Melora's care. The ball is to announce her daughters engagement and she aims to celebrate in excess and decadence!
This is open to nobles for plotting as well as mage rebels for this is a preplanned event where the ball is going to blow up in the end. The idea was coined by kleine and now refined by me to fit into scenarios I've been preplotting for the event :)
So add your two cents here. And also, there is to be an event to follow (which may or may not be apart of this event, or a separate thread all together, we shall see!) where the rebels are chased out and another 'slaughter' occurs in one of the Hellvion cities, which will be conducted under the order of the 'God of War' (Krah). This, of course, fueled by Melora's rage that her event was ruined, will fuel her anger towards the Grand Duke and possibly begin more tensions among the duchies who support him AND be a turning point in Krah's career where he's forced to reconcile for his transgressions against Hellvion so the Grand DUke can save face.
Lots to discuss so..
let us discuss! Nobles (minor and major)- let me know who might be interested and we'll see how we might want to tackle this said event :)
Also, I might need someone to volunteer for Aella's fiance! Must be a nobleman who's (obviously) not married and in good standing- someone that a strict and snobbish Duchess would accept need apply.
OH yeah, and rebel mages (Such as kleine's character Olive) can join as well ^_^ but kleine currently has the say in how the rebel portion will be planned :3
Are the Treyburn's (-Jana and Redly) invited to this ball? 8)
Yep! All nobles, unless Melora specifically hates your character.... will be invited! She wants to show off to the world her daughter (as usual) and the engagement is just another wonderful excuse for her to flaunt her money and power.
Oh, and I forgot to post inthe topic starter but all civil war threads- please read the info page before plotting/ and posting here. Thanks!
Info page link is here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.0).
I could offer a potential fiance for Aella. Perhaps Ewan Rodric or one of his elder brothers (not the heir, Bowen).
Just a quick response for now!
My characters Avery Carwick (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15345.0) and Constance Carwick (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14815.msg138437#new) ("Olive") will definitely be there and involved. I will also post some more info here about the "rebel mages" involved.
But I mostly wanted to say: if you want to be involved in the rebel mage element please pm me! It's going to be a pretty small group of mages working clandestinely, but if someone wants to be involved, we can probably figure something out. But definitely please let me know!
Oh, and on that note, Silas Greene (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15781.new#new) will also be there.
More later!
Off the top of my head , I can only think of Laighean and possibly Orin (whose profile is still needs finishing. Ugh. After I sleep. :/ ) being involved here. Gonna say that I don't think Braxton will be present since he's probably away fighting? I dunno.
Conall is not an option since he'll probably be busy in the south. (as you pointed out in YIM, Spice. )
Daerian is coming... To wreck a little chaos and have fun seeing puny mortals scream if something breaks out. And it's almost sure that if she's there, something will break out.
She's not helping anyone in the war, so she's coming on her own without being associated with any of the sides, she is just in for the possible chaos and trouble. And the possibility to present herself in expensive jewelry and dress, off course.
Corey Treyburn might come as a rebel mage, looking to start a fight and possibly be a culprit.
Hey, I just wanted to write a quick reply to clarify a few things. I will write a longer post about my end of this plot when I have a bit more time, but in the mean time...
1) The antagonist in this plot is pre-planned and for the sake of the storyline, I don't think it makes sense to have additional, random people coming to cause trouble.
2) The attack at the ball will be carried out by a small, organized group of mages working cladestinely. That means it won't be an out-in-the-open attack and everyone will be 'undercover.' They will all be undercover and will already be part of an organized band. That doesn't mean that there isn't room for more people to participate, but it does mean that you definitely need to PM me about it! So I can let you in on the plotting and we can figure out how your character fits in. :D
3) Most importantly! The attack WILL NOT be a random act of violence or chaos, so I'm not interested in people who just want to cause trouble!
4) Like with the Masked Ball, so you'll need to be a noble or a pre-approved undercover mage. Also, Spice has covered this a lot, but please read the FAQ about who can join (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=14741.msg164932#msg164932) war-related threads. I'm pretty sure Spice is just looking for Connlaothian characters, especially since it's a civil war, not a world war!
Maybe Spice can correct me on a few things here, but I just wanted to throw out some quick clarifications!
Edit: Sorry if I sound like an old grumpster! For those of you who don't know, I am in fact an old grumpster. XD

I'd have to think on this. Melora is too prejudice to probably let Daerian, or any other half breeds, into her ball. Also, since Daerian isn't a high noble, she wouldn't be invited (but the fact she's half elf would have had her invitation snubbed).
She's not a high noble, but since she supplies Connlaoth army and interferes in many things, she often gets herself onto event where she technically maybe shouldn't be. Also, officially, she isn't known to be a half-elf, but is considered fully elven.

Ah, well Melora wouldn't let an elf into her ball either way XD
Elves are rare in Connlaoth as it is. I feel bad for them ;_;
so many prejudices against them since the war (and even before it)
Melora is hosting a ball not for military gains anyway, but to flaunt her power to the other duchies as she normally does. And her daughter kind of has her upset since she found out she was fraternizing with a 'ghost mage' XD
So gotta marry her off quickly!
So... does this mean Illi and Davishire will be there? ;) Because if so, we need to figure out what has happened between them, Spicy! Also, he had better keep her safe from all harm. >:(

Since it's in Hellvion, Davishire will be there since he's a potential heir. And I won't harm anyone's characters against their will XD
Davishire on the other hand >_>
Don't you dare kill him. >:( I also forgot he was a potential heir. xD And I was kinda kidding... feel free to harm Illi, as long as it isn't anything life threatening or life lasting. I mean, stuff happens. Though honestly, I don't know how she would react to rebellion. 'Cause she likes mages. :3

Yeah, we'll also have to think how much of their relationship has developed since the Grand Duke's masked ball. Might be something interesting to play with that he decides to actually propose to Illi here, and then immediately afterwards - chaos D:
OMG klajsdfklajvxzmcvn,dfasjdfkljd *dies at the thought of a proposal*
We're going to thread some more of their relationship before this ball, right?
Janette is enraged to hear that Illi got married before her, and goes on a hateful, slightly demon influenced rampage in her prison cell. >:( Unhappy Janette is unhappy.

Actually, Illi and Davishire are kind of old NOT to be married >_>
shame on those slow pokes D<
I know she's younger. She still refuses to believe that "the bookworm" has better ability to woo and marry a man than her. She'll strop and kick and scream and possibly blow something up.

It was a fluke, I assure you. XD

Because Davishire is growing a sweet side for Illi. <3

I thought Janette wasn't interested in something like marriage though. xD
Around the time of the Grand Duke's ball, she started thinking about starting to settle down *SHOCK HORROR* and the prison time has confirmed it. She is going to stop all this misbehaving. Probably because she doesn't want to disturb the demons in her, and she is sick of being treated like guard-fodder
Nickolas will be there for sure and if I can find someone to play his wife that would be nice. it is a purely political marriage and there is no love lost between the two. That being side I think I might have him playing the playboy and cozying on up to all the single ladies.

Gotta love them play boys XD
The only person I could send along would probably be Oscar - he might be pressured into going after his 'success' at the last ball (in massive sarcasm quotes). That, and he's probably still single at this point.
Thinking about it, Aster's also technically a noble, though she rejected it to become a mordecai. She definitely wouldn't be there as a Delancy, but would there be security or anything? Just wondering...
Not sure how much good he'll be in a fight, though XD
Speaking of which, just how much violence is there going to be in this attack? Would this be potentially deadly?

As proper rp etiquette, I will leave the 'deadly'ness up to the rpers. Yes, it's possible some could die (but that's totally up to the rpers!) This situation, among others, does lead to potential dramatic endings if one were to so desire, or... have one's characters severely scared, be it physically or mentally. Lots of possibility here, but I'm sure a number of the guests would get out, unscathed. Though we all know there will be npc deaths, at least :T
So yeah, that IS an option but up to the player~
Hey guys,
I'd like to contribute either Luc or Aryn to either the Ball or the War event going on, however they might fit into the plotline. Specifically, I think Luc might work as part of the Ball event, and Aryn as part of the other one. (For continuity's sake, I'll post the same thing in the other thread.)
And if those two do not work, I'm also willing to create a new character to fulfill whatever niche role that needs filling. Let me know!
OH MY GOD i forgot marie. D: I'm sorry, my precious child. *huggles character*
Okay, so Marie will be there (assuming that's okay). She'll also probably come with Cyrus (need to ask Moonchild about that one).
When is this gonna happen? Because both my girls that I'm sending have some major plotting that will have to be done beforehand. D:
Depending on time, Janette may or may not be there, trying to behave, and ignore the suggestions of the two demons in her head.
Quote from: zozee9 on January 14, 2014, 02:01:34 PM

I don't know if Cyrus is invited. lol
Not to mention he's a soldier and if there is a call to arms elsewhere he'll probably be away fighting.
Gabe would attend with Valia, of course. <3

I'm thinking like 4-6 months or so after the Masked Ball, but that's not set in stone. The other, Fort Attack, will be about the same time, or maybe like 5-7 months after (but close enough together since they're not happening in the same location but are meant to be two chaotic things that 'blow up' at once).

How long after the Grand Duke's ball would this take place? If it's too quick, Janette will still be in gaol.

I just replied to this question in the last post XD
The Masked Ball (aka- The Grand Duke's Masked Ball) will be set 4-6 months prior to this event- though the actual exact time has not been determined. I just think it makes sense not to have it TOO far after, since Duchess Melora (the host) always has to one up or prove something; and using this to show case her daughter's engagement gives her more reason to 'party' and eat cake while the rest of the world suffers :T
XD
My bad, didn't see a reply directed at me! Poor reading habits. And idk how long Janette will be in jail for. Could be weeks to months, or just a few more days.

If she was in jail, which Melora would know about, Janette would lightly not get invited XD just sayin'
See I don't know how common the knowledge of Janette getting thrown in jail will be. That's up to the family to decide.

Depending on what jail and resources (which Melora has a lot, she loves her gossip) chances are high she'd know of a scandal, only because she likes knowing things to use against others- though it's quite possible she might not know :)
Well Janette got thrown in Uthlyn Gaol for trespassing and suspected murder (no-one's actually bothered to do any investigation, whether it makes a difference or not, the only reason she won't be hung for murder is because Torak will make another three kills like that while Janette is in jail) but I don't know how hushed it would be.
EDIT: only way to know would be to ask. I'll let you know!

This might have to happen.
I meant in real time, spicy. xD Like, I need time to plot so I was wondering when this thread would be up.
And would that mean Marie wouldn't be invited? She's not even biologically of royal blood.

LOL well then
In real time, I'm not sure. I'd like to see where plotting goes before tossing up the thread :)
I also have to figure out if I'm going to do anything similar to how I did the lay out for the Grand Duke's Masked Ball or not. If it' sa smaller event, I might opt for just one massive thread with some semblance of post order, or just do the same thing where each section of the event locale is it's own themed named thread ppl can post in with the same parameters.
But we shall see!
As far as Marie, unless she's someone's date, if she's not a noble, she wouldn't be invited x.x
... she would have been Cyrus's date. :3

She's adopted by minor nobles. Anyway, Marie could go with Micah as part of his family? I mean, if the head of the Coleridge house decides to bring her would Melora really object?
She could be the hired piano player. 8)
In regards to Marie, if she was a guest of the Coleridge family, she (meaning Duchess Melora) might be more lenient towards this allowance, however, it could make her turn her nose down towards the Coleridge family if she were to realize Marie's true heritage (the daughter of a servant, part)
Hmm...and here I'm trying to decide if Micah would care if Melora looked down her nose at him or not. She probably already does because of the fact that he not only has a bastard, but openly acknowledges the fact and went so far to set his bastard up with a noblewoman, even if she is adopted and of a minor house. xD

ANd that Gabe married VALIA of all ppl and NOT Aella. Clearly AELLA would have been a better match than stinky VALIA
PS- Aella = Melora's 'perfect' daughter
XD
Melora should have said something. Micah would have considered it. rofl
@ Moonie - Melora looks down on anyone whom isn't Melora. Sooo don't see why anyone should take that personally. Conall doesn't. Well, not anymore anyways. xD
The fact that she's the daughter of servants isn't kept secret. ^^

Hey guys, I finally wrote something up on the antagonist* of this event here (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16034.new#new). All the above still applies. Feel free to PM me if you're interested in joining or have any questions!
*Or as I like to think of them, the protagonists of the event! But if you want to think of your (and my!) lazy, hedonistic, party-going, 'let them eat cake' nobles blind to the injustices in their own country as the 'good guys,' I suppose I won't stop you! XD

I need to give Micah his own profile. Seriously.
And he IS a widower. Might make him interested in seeking a new wife to keep him company in his golden years. Wouldn't that be awesome to have Melora miss out on him twice? xD
Oh yeah she would be mad XD
Would be scandalous if my.character Davina tried to gain his interest but yeah. Soooooooo many ideas. And if you give him a profile, let me know XD.
LOL
Micah isn't the young stallion he used to be, but he's not out of the race yet! And Gabe did get his good looks from him. ;)
Ok! A list of my (currently possible) characters to attend:
Duchess Melora (I guess that's a given
Aella (also obvious- since the event is to announce her engagement >_> )
Davina
Davishire
Edward (if chaos happens here, it would give him a reason to support the draft scenario me and kleine have plotted!)
Kentamin (got some stuff planned for him here, too!)
Maybes List:
Kella (maybe.... maybe.... so tempted to have her there with a golden-armed escort, somehow :P )
Dekka Blade (could be fun! Though as usual, he's scouting out for the Grand Duchess, however, she just broke his heart so could have some interesting things going on here!)
Renna- she might be a useful ally in coordinating getting the rebels in, since she can 'see' things through animals :T just a suggestion, though Renna would need a 'date', though I could just npc-it~
Leif- I have no idea, but if he come he might recognize Olive or something- *no idea!* I might just not have him come XD he is a grumpy butts!
Maybe nots:
Calent (cause if the Grand Duke doesn't show, Duchess Melora will be even MORE upset, especially since her castle will be half destroyed and then soon afterwards, one of the major cities in her duchy. *is so mean to characters sometimes*)
Quote from: visualspice on January 15, 2014, 10:53:45 AM
Leif- I have no idea, but if he come he might recognize Olive or something- *no idea!* I might just not have him come XD he is a grumpy butts!
But that would make for so much interesting tension if he recognized her! Interesting! Tension! Do it!
I mean. Um. You know. If you want.
... let's see.
If Davina married Micah (lol this image sits badly in my head, but if) and Illi married Davishire and Marie married Cyrus, then we'd have a little family loop. :3 Illi and Marie are cousins, Davishire and Davina are siblings, and Micah is Cyrus's dad. xD Well, at least they wouldn't be marrying their biological family!
@ kleine- but Olive can have auks with Kentamin loool
@ zoz- yeah, but Davina isn't the sort t actually settle down. Though she's looking for power, not only through her own marriage but through her brother's as well. And I know I said this before, but she'd be so angry if Davishire married Illi. She finds Illi so beneath them! Poor Treyburns.

I could offer a potential fiance for Aella. Perhaps Ewan Rodric or one of his elder brothers (not the heir, Bowen).
I mean not to be a bother , but you never replied to this. Are you interested or not?
whoops yeah XD sorry, I started talking this over with Paradox but realized I never posted anything here XD
That should be fine! But next time I'm on messenger we can discuss :D
For now.. I sleeps Zzzzzzzzzzz
EDIT: Oh and I was talking it over with Paradox since it affects one of his characters, too but we can discuss it via PM or messenger when I don't have sleepy brains
Indeed. I simply thought to inquire since you had answered everyone else's questions; I figured you'd forgotten about mine.
I was also aware that this would affect Laighean. I have talked about this a little with Paradox. :)
Hey, Vincent, would you want to have Aella/Ewan's first 'face to face' meeting be at this ball? Maybe Melora decided this arranged marriage without the two ever properly meeting. I'm sure the two have met int he past, but you know what I mean- something like they haven't seen one another in ages.
Also, depending on the turn out for this event, I may or may not keep this to one large, groupt hread where players take turns in a posting order- and just have the label at the start of each post (or section of a post- if you have mulitple characters) where said character is at during that moment.
Just some ideas I'm playing with. If there's going to be a lot of characters here, like in the Masked Ball (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15587.0) thread, I might do seperate threads, but on a smaller scale, and run it in a similar fashion.
THIS EVENT IS STILL IN THE WORKS- PLOTTING IS STILL OPEN SO MAKE YOUR POSTS NOW ^_^
*if a character is in italics, I need to get a final answer before the thread begins if said characters might be involved~
CHARACTER PARTICIPATION UPDATE:
Zozee: Illi, possibly Marie
kleine: Constance, Avery and Silas
Paradox: laighean and Orin (profile coming soon??)
Moonie: Micah, Gabe- and who knows if Cyrus will be there XD
Bris: Corey
Vivi: Oscar, possibly Aster
Vincent: Ewan
nahash: Nickolas
Cambie: possibly luc, possibly aryn (PM me Cambie so I know if you got any ideas or want to finalize plots on how to get either involved- Luc might be an interesting ally with the rebels- just sayin')
visualspice: Melora, Aella, Valia, possibly Kella (this just amuses me, I'll have to see if I can even get that to work), Davishire and Davina (and depending- there might also be Edward, Kentamin, Dekka Blade and Leif :T)
So far the rebels are: Constance, Silas, Corey and Orin
Rebel info found here: http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=16034.msg168127#msg168127
PS- let me know if I forgot anyone >_>
RULE UPDATE: All players interested must post at least once a week. If you fail to do so, your turn will simply be skipped :) (this is so as to keep the thread moving) However, this is assuming I make the event one large thread. HOWEVER, if I make it multiple threads, I might be more lenient-
what are your guys thoughts?
One large thread or something similar to how the masked ball (http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=15587.0) worked?
Also, new characters entering this event will be closing up soon so we can finalize the actual plotting :) Get your posties in D8
I like the masked ball... but that's just because lazy me has troubles keeping up with various story lines. xD *rushes off to get in posties*

Yeah, currently there are 17 definite characters participating, so having multi-threads without posting order restrictions might be the way to go here. But we'll see :) awaiting feed back from all.
I'll also have to think of a fun theme for these thread titles too XD like how the masked ball was all desserts~
Also, kleine- PM me or post here if you have ideas how we ought to get the rebels into the event :)
My preference would definitely be for multiple threads or some other form of not having a strict posting order. Mostly because I can't imagine that everyone will all be interacting with everyone else, so to me having a posting rotary doesn't make sense? (It wouldn't necessarily need to have quite as many threads as the masked ball!)
(Also, I'm with Zoz that I get anxious about feeling more rushed to post when there's a rotary to keep up with).
Also, small update on my part, Constance Carwick will definitely be attending, posing as her second--cousin (and Avery's sister) Bryony. Avery Carwick, Silas Greene, and Dahlia Gray are all "maybes."
As far as plans for the rebels, unless you (and others) want all the info in the open here, I'd rather plot privately with the others who may be involved and keep the plans a bit under wraps. Just for the purpose of surprise(!) and fun(!) etc(!). But I can put it all here if you prefer.
Sounds good, klemens! We'll go about handling this event that way :)
NOW I NEED A THEME D<
It'll take some time to get this event up (considering the other event is still running but nearing a close) but yeah, keep tossing ideas out there :)
We'll go with the multi-open-threads (and even perhaps a few private ones) like we did in the masked ball.
Again, post thoughts as they come and I'm glad you want to keep the plotting/rebel side 'closed' and private :) makes things more exciting!
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
I am so slow to reply to this. ADGFFSGSDFG!!!
Anywho...!
Multiple threads are likely to be necessary, in my opinion since not everyone is going to be in the same place at the same time! I also think there may be need for private threads as well for a couple reasons. One of those reasons being posting schedules and the other reason being certain characters are probably not going to interact with everyone present like mine.
Not saying that I would not participate in the larger open thread(s), but it really just depends on what's happening and the pacing because , honestly, if you do away with turns then that gets confusing for me as it did last time. I was posting with a group that was moving at a much slower pace and we ended up having to move to a private thread.*shrugs* Just my two cents.
I have no serious suggestions for a theme. I kept saying beards but I'll save that for my own things, perhaps!
Edit: I concur with Kleine. The plotting for the rebels ought to be done quietly so then there can be surprises! Who doesn't like those!?

I concur.
LOL that would be hilarious... if everyone had to wear a beard. xD
Anyway, I don't really know but I'll try to throw stuff out there.
Magic whoops no not that
Animals
Music? (oh that was the other thing I was going to say—Marie is semi-famous for her piano playing, so I guess there's a possibility she could be invited as a pianist, if Melora isn't too snobby to only want the best of the best)
Plants? (lol idkkkk)
Famous (historical?) characters—Illi would love that one
Pets! Okay now I have this crazy image of everyone coming with their pet. It would be a riot. xD
Gender bender! Lol I know this wouldn't happen... but the images. *_*
Ummm yeah I think I'm outta ideas. I'll let you know if I think of more. :)
QuoteI concur.

Yes. <3

Melora is a colossal snob and I cannot imagine her settling for anything but the best. xD Buuut of course that's up to Spice! Mayhaps Melora might make an exception or two?
depending on what I here back from Kleine I might be adding another character to the mix and I am still looking for someone to play Nickolas' wife if anyone is interested.

Sounds good to me.
Plotting on this event is going to be severely delayed :) so just a heads up.
We can continue to plot, but I'm going to wait a bit to allow ideas/changes/plots to settle :)
Just to make it official, plotting on this event is now closed since the idea is being scrapped and re-worked elsewhere.
