Room 4

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.]

[raising an eyebrow] ... Well then.

I guess we can't... just ask?

[considering] Knowing our charming hostess, I doubt she would be terribly pleased by that.

I, on the other hand, think it's a fairly straightforward thing.

What do you mean?

Ah, that it would be easiest for us to figure it out if we simply asked. But I suspect that "Mother" would prefer if we went about it in a more roundabout fashion.

Ah.

I'm bad at these.

[quietly, now] I'm not fond of them either. Gossip is unpleasant.

So, um...

Just ask things that aren't really the thing on the card?

Shouldn't we ask each other as well?

Yes.

Um... do you have like churches you do things with?

Not at all. I'm not very religious, I'm afraid. Are your family close to each other, by the way, or are they a bit ...divided?

I don't have one.

It's certainly an interesting brand of diversion, isn't it?

For a certain degree of "interesting," that is for certain.

[a one-shouldered shrug]

I suppose you can't fault our hostess for her eccentric tastes.

Certainly not. Though gossip, as a rule, is hardly my favorite thing.

Ah, a straightforward man.

[wryly] Unless I'm being a straightforward lady.

[--laughing a little]

My gravest apologies. I do hope I haven't offended you, madam.

[shoulder tap] Shall we discuss as well?

But of course--I'm happy to oblige. What did you want to talk about?

Sir, have you ever been considered a shield?

Well, you're direct, aren't you? I can't say that I have.

Can you say you've ever answered to a master?

I have, I suppose, but I wouldn't use the term "Master". I've just responded to those of higher rank, as all nobles must.

I see . . . .

And would you describe yourself as adrift?
