Camera, lights, ACTION -

Okay, maybe not quite like tha -

...oh... kay. So, there's the Versailles curse coming up this weekend, and of course that meaaaaaaaans: drama. Costumes. And exceedingly pink pastries (among other things).

So just comment with whatever plans you have for your characters: will they be part of the grand aristocracy, the working staff, revolutionaries, mere courtiers working their way through ranks, ambassadors? What are their plots and plans, and more importantly, whom else can you drag into it? Put down if your character needs some help (a lady might need a personal attendant, for instance, a palace guard commander might require his subordinates, etc) as well!

Just have fun with it, hur hur.

Oh, and something to keep in mind for this Sunday at 20:00 / 8 p.m. EST:

A GREAT BALL @ THE VERSAILLES PALACE

THE WORLD'S FINEST NOBILITY IN ATTENDANCE

CITIZENS CORDIALLY INVITED

Oh, hurr, mind how you go with that one: one is Daventry, that we well know, the next one is "England" with the letters mixed up, the next is a reference to The Crying of Lot 49, and the last is a riff on "Brightlingsea."

o1. I was kind of thinking of "de l'Orange" (which I think is actually grammatically wrong-o) as her family name, though I was thinking of it being territorially or locationally created (Dupuis = of the well or pit; Dubois = of the woods). But, really, Princesse Rosella, Princess of Daventry, &c &c works too.

o2. I'm going to have to check this (once this cat gets off my lap), but I was under the impression (potentially wrong) that there could be both princes and princesses as well as crown princes and princesses. Normal princes and princesses are ones by title, probably in areas long held by someone with the title of "prince," or potentially someone like the king's brother, say. But a crown prince or princess is a child of the king and queen, specifically.
