So AHSCA. Selkie and I had an idea if you don't mind for a double date between Satou and Tess alongside Damir and Yasmin if you like. Are you up for the idea??

Good question. They are in their ship now so we should figure out there; perhaps they bump into each other around the village after they left their stuff in the ship? I mean by the time the see the other they could be en route to eat something perhaps on the Kitan or another restaurant??

The Kitan is a solid spot for them to meet at. Tess is after all the daughter of Mervay's Ambassador to AHSCA so she'd get a VIP spot and it'd make a convenient place they could convene.

Fair point there since it's the high end resort of the island. Albeit her mother isn't ambassador anymore, but rather; Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mervay which is quite the promotion for sure. But yeah, the Kitan seems like a perfect place for them to meet :) :)

I apologize for the late post, but writer's block was a real torture expert when it came to distracting me from creating my latest post.

“Yanking her chain” ?? - wdym by that and why do I have a feeling that this is some kind of an inuendo.

Other than that; sure, but make sure you have her somewhere close to a pagan temple. As they are to be “going shopping” in regards to buying idols and such.

From Urban Dictionary/Google:
"yank one's chain"
To annoy someone, especially about something they're concerned with or sensitive to, usually in a specious or humorous manner, just for the sake of annoying them. A real-world form of trolling.

TL;DR: kinda messing with her a little, but in a friendly way. Mostly because they are very different women and though our countries are both relatively-absolute monarchies, my government prefers to just loom ominously in the background and is pretty chill when it comes to its citizen's rights, whereas yours operates in a much more oppressive and totalitarian manner. Sorry to use a confusing idiom, I keep forgetting that not everyone on the internet is an American. (And yes, I do see the BDSM connotations, but that's exactly as far as I'll go discussing that because I like not getting forumbanned.)

While their values would contrast rather starkly if they were to meet, I am sure they would get to see eye to eye. Cornelia used to be just a year prior, in the Royal Airforce serving as a pilot in the cockpit of a Tomcat. It has only been at the end of last year when she returned to ''fulfill her Royal duties'' to marry that one fine gentleman who prevented Cornelia from taking her fingernails to Kassadnaya's face and scaring her all over.

Btw, is your character still in that cozy hotel, because I am planning to have my posse of character to check-in there. My premise here is that this visit to AHSCA is a part of Cornelia and Treize's honeymoon. After they leave their baggage at the hotel, have them each change into a pair of civilian ''commoner'' clothes before they hit the festival. Perhaps we can devise an encounter in the lobby or public lounge area?

Say, you can have your character stop them on their way out to tell them how much she noted their appearance due to how much they stood out from all the rest.

@AHSCA, does the hotel accept foreign currency as payment, like Euros or USD? If not perhaps they can pay with any item jewelry they may carry (everything except the Royal Ring), it won't be a problem in the slightest, the Von Peacekraft are noted to have several-jewelry-store-worth of an extensive and diverse variety of expensive, masterfully crafted pieces of jewelry from rings, earrings to tiaras and whatnot.

She is, she's getting settled in her room before going to the restaurant adjoining the Kitan for lunch. I'd prefer to wing it, personally. Either that or have Liane stand up for an inn employee if Kassadnya decides to berate anyone like she did back in customs.

@AHSCA, finally managed to get around to finish my post!Other than that, I am sorry if I lightly godmodded your people to react in the certain way that they did in my post, but other than that, I hope that you find no issue with it. Please tell me if you think otherwise.

@Brettenwald, you can have your character meet up with Cornelia and her fiancé. Only thing I’ll advise for you is to have your own to not approach them suddenly lest you desire for Oles to pin her face first into another table, or worse.

Other than that, I hope we can get our IC conversations started : )

Good afternoon, AHSCA,
I am sorry for my long absence of posting, mainly because I didn't have ideas - but now I have one, but I need your permission, and a small smidgen of control over Marcella, for that to work.
So, in your last post, Marcella proposed the two of them making a selfie for Damir and Yasmin, and of course, Aurelia will agree. The two pose together, Aurelia raises her smartphone for the shot and just in the moment before she shoots the selfie, she will turn to Marcella and kiss her on the cheek, spur of the moment.
Now I need your permission, because my idea is, that Marcella has about the same idea and the two, much to either surprise, meet in the middle. No tongue-skirmish ensues, though. That is for later. ; )

So, what do you think? May I appropriate Marcella for a small bit for the described purpose, please?

mfg,

@Brettenwald: ey bro, when are you going to respond to my post?

Just asking because my characters are in the restaurant as of right now, enjoying a meal while their servants have been seated close by at another table, then again I'd like to warn you to go lightly on Liane approaching them, for both our sakes :)

You can get your post up, and I'll respond accordingly.
