You know… Fair enough. I’ll take it
“Of course. I can assure you that I only take the most honourable and skilled of duels. My rapier remains sheathed until the Ninth requires it.”
Her bespoke rapier is holstered in her sheath by her side.
Barons: What a pretentious waste of materials. Steel does the job just fine.
Counts: The strongest weapon is the most concealed. She openly places herself at a disadvantage. Hubris will be her downfall.
Grandees: Also named “the Ninth’s Blade”, the rapier is passed down via duels to the death as opposed to lineage, and has been refined for centuries. It is convention that the holder also obtains the title of “the Ninth’s Blade.” An honour to be in its presence.
Chiefs: I am certain our blacksmiths have done refining on that rapier before…
Patricians: It costs a fortune. Was it funded by the us? No… Grandees are too principled to become sell-outs. Where did she get it from?
(Additional dialogue depending on the region you come from, like things you may notice additionally. You can choose to reveal all of them if you want, but it is intended that you only reveal the dialogue that is relevant to your region.)
Joe reappears, though he doesn’t say anything. He has a fresh set of scrolls, however.
Another man walks up to Joe, dressed in similar dull shades of red. He begins taking notes.
(Catching up on thread)
(I presume nobody’s died since i was gone)
(Not yet, this is a peaceful thing, we’re just voting to… celebrate our new regions)
(You never know)
(A lot of people appear to have brought swords to what’s supposed to be a peaceful event)
Augustin slowly raises out of his kneel, keeping contact with Kael’s hand. He maintains eye contact, confused but less nervous.
(Just Uiora I think LOL)
(Swords?)
(How banal.)
(It’s specialised for people who seem to think he’s named after a vegetable)
(JASPIN WATCH OUT…)
(Lore reasons.)
(Not my fault you named yourself after a rocket reject)
(Augustin carries a sabre, but whether he’d use it or not is something that’s more questionable)
(oh I forgot about this)
(many of you brought weapons actually yeah )
(All jaspin brought was books. The fuck are you guys trying to murder)
(hey we’re feudal nobles! whats the harm in bringing an extra sword or two!)
A third man dressed in Marzioan colors enters the group. He pulls out a scroll.
“Baron Wilhelm Marzipan of House Squirrel, fourth of his name, defender of the forests and acorns, wishes to make his will be known.”
wait what are we even voting on
im confused
(Not actually confused ooc, fyi)
Ash sighs in relief
“Well, that’s good, at least. Hopefully, we can make it through this meeting without any injuries.”
