While some, like Aurelia father Prince Damir ibn-Razia, are of the opinion, that Faris wants to destroy Aurelia, Faris has no such interest and never had. She wants to pick her apart piece by piece and then watch her crumble.

Yikes!

Though, on that topic, short question, how much did the general press talk about his collapse on the beach? In other words, would someone not from Ezhara, but who knows his music, be reasonably able to know of it?
As for the other idea, I know Eiko and I think, that I know D'aillisioux, so... to quote a famous Jedi-Master. ; )

For the most part, there's stringent legislation concerning Talent/child performance controversies, which is why people don't usually call him "cursed" despite his disasters with Ame to Vira. It'd mainly be kept as rumor and hearsay, especially since Park and Marco wouldn't really want to spread that sort of news. Kaz... would be another matter, and would definitely be responsible for mentioning vague suspicions that Eiko is hiding something, not that you'll ever find him as a source. During the beach feast itself, anyone who saw him might not be aware of Ezhara Talent customs and may be more willing to talk, but that decision is out of my jurisdiction. I don't think any Ezharans would press actions to relatively-unknown nations and news outlets to take down such stories, but I can't imagine such stories being well-received in Ezhara. There'd probably be some sort of investigation into things if foreign presses did look into it, but it's not something that'd be broadcasted/known in Ezhara, and there's basically no way Park/Eiko's mother would let any foreigners interview him.

To conclude, it'd be up to you, hinging mostly on whether you think there were paparazzi with no conscience that decided to talk about/mention it. That said, Kasem and Kebechet are both keenly aware of his condition. Kasem is ridiculously close to Eiko — a markedly difficult task, as most people either fall as those he protects or those he obeys, whereas Kasem is one of the few that he trusts — whereas Kebechet's psychopomp personality means that she's aware that he's never successfully moved on. Gisara is aware of Eiko's condition too, owing to being his chaperone, and is also a mental health advocate due to past issues related to his own mind: he did not take his sister's death well, and part of that is why he adores the stars, too. Though, Eiko this time around has medicine and his mother's pressure on him, so it's not like he'll be nearly that bad, but we'll see if seeing an out-and-out meteor shower causes him to, ah, react.

Which, Kebechet would be interesting with Shwe Tu Colony. I'd like to consider it, as a good amount of them are still able to exist without magic, but with my wide cast it's already going to be a headache to keep up posts unless I actually do end up chaining myself to this. I've a vague sense of break over me, but whether it'll be an efficient one is another matter.

This is also a kind of fate, no? For what it's worth, I'm doing this with assumption of no magic, which I've done a few times before. It's replaced with a distinct air of mystery and exoticness, at best. Anyway, sadboi rights. Current plan involves arraying Eiko/D'aillisioux/Kasem to be artistic sadbois, Gisara/Luò/Kebechet as the musicians, Satis/Giucà as similar destinies, and Renenūtet/Shai/Twtw/Norni/Hasan remain wild cards who will flit in and out as I feel it needed. Not sure if I'll keep up to this, I'm not feeling too well, but I think I just need to write it off a bit more—

I see. Well your application is accepted; however as OP of this RP I must tell you if you have problems to keep off please use one of your two nations for all your characters to make things easier for you, would that be fine?

The Teressians and Kyrenaians will stick to the Venetian Style Masks, though.

Aye, I'll probably switch as appropriate, though, I can see it mainly being Ezhara anyway.

Forgot to sign up for D'aillisioux's... beloved? Partner? Mutually-destined character? Whatever, here's Hazel, she needs character development like the other... ten deuteragonistic characters.

Yeah, the two faces of Fadwa Faris - who is also a philantropist and mother, as well as all sunshine and smiles when she has to do with the Sultana or, which happens more often, with the Ilkhana of Fenchu.

As one of the conditions was, that there were no papparazzi around, I think, that nothing came out and aside from Nolly and Ribin speaking a bit about it among themselves after the fact.
By the way, Nolly is the same Nolwenn Gluaisrothar of the Tribe of Wexford, who was at the Feast. ; )

The solution is obviously a mask with built in glasses/lenses!

Aye, I figured. Least this time Eiko has a bit more of a support group, but whether he'll accept it...

Quick question - is January 16 also the day the IC is projected to be up? Asking because I'm already planning to pre-write my introductory post (which will look somewhat differently from what you're used from me, but in what regard, I'm not going to tell

), for time isn't exactly something I'm rich at. ^^

Let's hope so. Or that he'll at least accept the offer for a dance by Nolly. ; )

First thought: I don't know if he can dance. Second thought: Hey this'd be a perfect opportunity to invite the Argonautai via Vassilios.
And anyway I remembered he did his own stunts, so he can probably dance a little, plus he has Twtw to help direct him.

Hey, he doesn't have to be a world-class competetive ballroom dancer. If everything else fails, rocking back in forth is fine, too.

@Shwe Tu Colony/Ezhara: New Application Accepted!

@PPC: Both Applications Accepted!

And to the rest which is asking when the IC is; Indeed, it will be January 16th.

And now to the other issue I have to solve. @Qassadia; after a lot of deliberation and thought; considering the ups and downs both OOC and IC, I had come to the next conclusion. Your applications are rejected. This took a while to decide and while it would had been interesting like everyone said in this thread to have you OOC, however; it would go against the Mervayan Policy against slavery and our position during the RP you're doing regarding that assassination. It is for these reasons that I cannot accept your applications mate and I apologize for that and taking my time on coming to a decision.

by **Brettenwald** » Wed Jan 06, 2021 8:18 pm

Now that Cassadia's out, who's our new bête noire? Exilvania or Nachfolgia? (Nothing personal, of course, it just seems like we've got an abnormal amount of dictatorships here.)
