Room 4

[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.]

So, um...

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

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

That might be for the best, yes.

[studying his card]

I'm afraid I missed your name, before. For the purposes of this evening, I am apparently "Duchess Virginia Early Feaghery III."

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

Emperor... um...Os...

I don't really remember. Sorry.

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

Ah, that's fine. Perhaps a "nickname"?

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

...Cassie?

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

[nods] I prefer to be called by Hakuren, myself.

It's nice to meet you, Cassie.

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

[nods]

How should we start?

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

Perhaps with broader topics? General themes, and then we can see if people can narrow down what they need from there.

[waving his card a little]

For example, mine mentions family for one of them. I myself have things about my family I could speak of, in turn, in case someone else has need of that information.

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

...Do you talk to your family?

I mean, in your memories.

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

[considers] I left my family when I was very young, I'm afraid.

What of you?

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

...Oh.

Me too. Well, my dad. But he was bad.

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

[pressing his lips together for a moment, then nodding]

My father wasn't a very good man either. That was part of why I left.

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

Where did you go?

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

To the church. They took me in.

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

...Do churches have temples?

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

They're both holy structures, though they usually are associated with different religions. Some do, though.

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

But not yours.

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

Not that I recall, no.

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

Okay.

Do you want to ask more?

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

Only if you don't mind.

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

...Answering this is easier than... talking about the weather.

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

[small snort] The weather has its limits, yes.

What do you think about the value of life?

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

Nothing is more important.

Re: Secrets

[quercusoptima]

So it would upset you if someone didn't believe in that?

Re: Secrets

[silentknight]

Yes. I would try teaching them.
