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

Okay, I was wrong about the crown princess bit: her brother would be the crown prince, because he's the heir, and that's what the title refers to, really. She would still be a princess, though.

Fortunately, the King's Quest Omnipedia gave me a bunch of random names of other things to use, including an existing Duchy in the world, so woo for me.

1) Actually, a little bit of thinking reminded me of another ridiculous in-joke in King's Quest canon--there are some characters named as being from a land called Bruce, which is notable for many things but most know for one incident involving the Banner of Bruce, during which a rather unpleasant green monster arrived out of nowhere to destroy the Bruce Banner and left again without a trace.

...Yeah. The Incredible Hulk is King's Quest Canon. I CAN'T EVEN.

Soooo, thanks to this in-joke (and the fact that "De Brus apparently is an old French SCOTTISH-NORMAN, I CAN READ, WHATEVER IT'S A PUN name), She will now be Rosella de Brus, Princesse of Daventry, Duchess of Cumberford, Marchioness of Serenia, Countess of the Green Isle, &c. And thank YOU again, a million times, for all the help.

2) That's what I thought, that it signaled the heir apparent or whatever. But righto! o/

AWESOME. WORTHY NAMES, ALL OF THEM.

Yeah, there are times when I'm just tripping.

THE BRUCE BANNER. A CAUTIONARY TALE. These writers are my heroes.

There is probably something seriously wrong with us when we just spent several hours trying to figure out a correct name for a fictional character for a make-believe hobby on the internet.

There's probably something seriously wronger with me, because I AM SO GEEKED OUT WITH NEW KNOWLEDGE RIGHT NOW.
