It appears that we have a few new arrivals. Welcome to those who I have not had the pleasure to meet with yet, and I look forward to becoming acquainted with you in the near future. My apologies to get straight to business, but I have yet another survey to conduct. As most of you are probably aware, the ball that Sir Caesar mentioned will be upon us soon, and Sir Caesar has been very generous in allocating funds to providing everybody with appropriate clothing.

If you could please give me the details of your desired outfit, I will pass them onto the tailor so that they will be ready for you by the day. It would be best if you were not too extravagant, but also specific lest you be disappointed when your vague descriptions turn out to be wildly different than what you had imagined.

If you are lacking ideas, the tailor has given me a few sketches of choice items of clothing that you may look at to help decide on an outfit. If you have any further questions, I would be happy to address them.

(( OOC: What are the ideas from the tailor, you ask?!

... SORRY NOT SORRY. I spent way too long searching for these... Feel free to submit any sketches or other pictures of your own for fun if you'd like! ))

Geddoe.

I'll pass, thanks.

[quicksmart]

Sir Geddoe.

[ She nods, acknowledging his name. Now to the hard part... ]

I know that the idea of a ball is not a popular idea - I am not a fan, either, and neither were my comrades. Sir Caesar believes, however, that all should attend in order to boost economic, trade and quest prospects at the castle. It is supposed to be a display of talent.

[trueltning_fury]

[it's possible Geddoe has never looked so terrified]

Wait - talents? What kind of ball is this?

[quicksmart]

I am not certain myself as I have not been to a ball before, but. Sir Caesar said there would be many prospective clients there. He was able to put it more eloquently than myself, of course.

[trueltning_fury]

I'm going to have to have a talk with Caesar.

[because the only talents he knows are not appropriate for dance-ball settings!]

[quicksmart]

Y-yes. That is probably for the best. He knows a great deal more about it than I.

[ DOO DOO DOO, SKIRTING HER RESPONSIBILITIES! Hervey had been much easier to convince. ]

[trueltning_fury]

I'll do that, then. [with a quick nod to acknowledge her assistance] And you are...?

[quicksmart]

I am Agnes, assistant to Lady-- Sir Caesar. A pleasure to meet you, Sir Geddoe.

[ Hard habit to shake! ]

[trueltning_fury]

[Oh he's going to remember that one. Lady Caesar.]

Agnes. Well met. Not surprised Caesar needs someone to keep him organized.

[quicksmart]

Ah, you know him? Were you his companion during the war, then?

He is abhorrently messy sometimes.

[trueltning_fury]

[Nodding] I was here during the war, yes. Even then, he had someone more capable at his side looking after him.

[quicksmart]

Even then? I wonder how he fares without somebody looking after him!

Perhaps I could ask you some questions about the war sometime, then, if you remain here. I have been curious, but have been unsure of how to approach Sir Caesar.

[trueltning_fury]

I know as much as anyone else from this region about that conflict. I don't mind.

[quicksmart]

Ah, thank you!

[ YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE. ]

I was particularly interested in learning more about the opposition's strategist... I have not been able to gleam much.

[trueltning_fury]

[He brought it on himself]

Mm. Albert Silverberg. Not many know very much about him.

[quicksmart]

Albert Silverberg?

[ She looks incredibly shocked. ]

A relative of Sir Caesar's? And they were on opposing sides of the war?!

[trueltning_fury]

[Whoops yes that cat is now out of the bag...]

That's right. Brothers, I believe.

[quicksmart]

Brothers?

He has never mentioned this to me before... What happened to his brother after the war? Was he killed?

[trueltning_fury]

No. He is, at last report, a favored strategist within the Harmonian army.
