Room 1

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourselves in a well acquainted parlor while the storm rages on outside. Mother's voice resounds from somewhere unseen.

"Dear Mother will be with you in a moment, my children. But until then, please do try to become well acquainted with one another."

[You'll find a small dance card tucked into the pocket of your outfit. It has on it a description of your role. Please refer to the DP journal for a post locked to your team with the contents of your card.]

Master makes my life hard even when he's not here ...

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

Does it affect your reputation in any way?

Re: Secrets

[performing]

Not here, I hope.

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

Oh, I'm sure not. Thank you.

Would you like a turn?

Re: Secrets

[performing]

[smacking his cheeks a moment, then peering at his card]

Do you think of yourself as powerless ... ?

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

I understand there are things I can't control, but I have faith that I'll have strength for the things that matter, so no, I suppose. I can still control myself.

Re: Secrets

[performing]

[small smile] Nice answer.

... don't suppose you know anyone who might be having an affair ...

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

I don't, but I think that information would be helpful to me as well.

Re: Secrets

[performing]

It's not me, I'm not seeing anyone at all.

I'm not sure you're on any of mine, at this point.

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

The chances are looking slim for you as well. Unless there is a family worth discussing?

Re: Secrets

[performing]

I had a dad once.

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

Would you care to find him again, or that an impossibility?

Re: Secrets

[performing]

... he's dead.

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

Fair enough!

Re: Secrets

[performing]

Haha, it's all right ... I was a brat at the time. But he's the only one I remember.

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

Well, my dad is dead too. But it's been awhile.

Re: Secrets

[performing]

[nods] ... mine was a good dad, though.

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

And you thought the whole world was him?

That's how it was for me, anyway.

Re: Secrets

[performing]

If not the whole world, most of it.

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

It's difficult. Luckily, I had two loving aunts who raised me, even if they were a bit reclusive.

Re: Secrets

[performing]

If they loved you, though, that's important ...

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

I certainly loved them.

I think that covers all my cards, but even though we're not a match in that regard, I know our teams are fairly close and I wouldn't be adverse to talking more.

Re: Secrets

[performing]

[nods] I'll probably be asking Kit and Anemone if they want another lesson soon.

Re: Secrets

[overboard]

Good. I'd like to see them with more tools in their toolbox.

Re: Secrets

[performing]

I can show you more too, if you want.
