[ VIDEO ] LOCKED TO EITHER COURT.

SEELIE
[At approximately midday on the seventh, the lockets of all Seelie characters will vibrate. When they are opened, the following message will play:

High-Queen Solais is seated in her throne. While she is radiant, while light seems to surround her, she appears diminished. Her light seems softer, like it is being filtered through a shroud. The throne of High-King Ridire at her side is empty, his spear laying across it in two shattered pieces. Beneath it rests a blood-stained golden cloak.]


It is with a heavy heart that I must share this news. High-King Ridire - His Most Glorious, The Just, Lord of Light, and First Warrior of Glaschu - has followed his Avatar Clarisse La Rue - Marchioness of the White Citadel and Goldenspear - in death, just as she followed him in life.

[Solais stands. Previously hidden in her gown, it’s clear now that she is wearing a belt and sheathed sword. The sword is drawn, and the queen sets it on a cushion born by a servant. The gold and glimmer of her dress begins to fade, changing from bright to dark, mournful black. Across Glaschu and in other Seelie-controlled areas, bells toll.]

To honour his passing, we will set our swords aside for one week save for in great need. We will not wear the gold that he so favoured. We will remember him, the blows he struck and took for us, for our cause.

[Here she pauses, her strength seeming to momentarily falter before Solais pulls herself up taller.]

Remember our fallen King. Remember that all things must end so that others may begin. And above all, Look For The Light.



UNSEELIE
[It’s in the evening that each and every Unseelie locket will open no matter where they are across the Drabwurld. It is not Morla’s face that greets them, instead it is Reul. He is a dark figure, menacing still even when but a simple projection. Tonight he exudes smugness -- from the high tilt of his chin, to the way his eyes shine from behind helmet. It’s perhaps the closest anyone in the Drabwurld has come to his face and maybe some might now be wishing to never see the sight again.

Reul is a frightening sight, especially when pleased. ]


Greetings brothers and sisters; those who are my most loyal. [His voice is a calm baritone, a teasing lilt of delight if you listen closely. ]

I come to you with glad tidings this night: High-King Ridire is dead, slain with his wretch of an Avatar. Tonight we are not victorious, but we are blessed. He who would have us slain; he who would see us slaughtered is naught but a memory.

[It will become obvious now, that Reul himself is not holding the locket. It pans out now, revealing Reul upon his throne and beside him sits Morla, dressed decidedly in gold. There is something reminiscent of a smile that lingers on the edges of her lips; it's a tight thing, but present. Her hand sits atop Reul's armoured one, a rare show of closeness. It's fitting, this evening. ]

Tonight we celebrate. Tonight we cast aside our weapons and we wear gold so that we may honour such a worthy foe. We invited you to share this glory with us; intimately and with the passion we are known for.

[Morla says nothing still; she lets Reul finish. It's after that she lifts her chin, her voice steady:]

And after we shall shed our gold and let it burn in the fires most pure; we will take arms anew and begin again.

[And it's done. ]



MOD NOTE There will be no NPC responses to this post. Solais will not be taking any visitors. Unseelie… have fun at the orgy.

... Anyone else wondering what the hell killed their king, when our monarchs couldn't? Any bets? [His voice is agitated and worried. Already, the news of the sickness has spread. He's less pleased about this, if only because it speaks volumes about something that he doesn't have a damn clue about.]

You're not alone. [ She can't really take joy in this, not at all. Not even hearing word of Clarrise's death, for all the anger she held to her for Celegorm's death. All of this has let her very bitter and cautious. ]

This is hardly a time to rejoice. To kill a traveler is easy, but a high king?

Maybe he died of a broken heart.

That's what I'd like to know. I've heard that shardbearers can return from the dead, but what of the monarchs? Something tells me it's different.

What? No! Have any of you ever picked up a history book? This is the part where a hyper-talented, super expansionist military leader usurps power and starts a massive war of conquest. It happens every freaking time. Better a moron you know than a Napoleon you don't!

But if wearing gold is like, a snub, I'm all for it by the way. Free alcohol, right?

[Well it's hard even for a guy as clueless as Hercules to miss the significance of this. He seems perplexed, puzzled even. This man was not his king, and he knew nothing of these monarchs beyond they ruled the courts, and for him it mattered little. Fae died, they were not eternal, but with as many titles as he possessed this Ridire was undoubtedly a worthy individual.]

A pity that his time came. May he find peace in Elysium, and the Theoi Khthonioi judge him fairly in his repose.

A traveler? Wait, you mean shardbearer. [After that little hiccup, he goes on.]

If they won't claim his death, then it means that someone else does. Sounds like we've got a murder mystery on our hands.

So, it's time to confirm them.

Unless you're covered in that gross silver stuff. I've heard it's the new craze sweeping the nation. [Or the Unseelie nation, so it goes.]

You aren't, are you?

It depends on where you mean. A loss of power that great may leave open a gate to a world unknown. I've seen it happen when thousands of souls were sucked into the after life of my world—Valhalla. And I've seen it again there, numerous times. A loss of a monarch like these, if my suspicions are correct ...

We may begin to feel it in other ways.

Planning on touching me up?

I'd put my bets on Diasbaile's recent visitor. [ the distaste is obvious in his voice, as much as he tries to make it sound light. ]

Possible. But damn, what an interesting way to reveal someone as a hypocrite, huh? Though I'd wonder if Reul and Morla would gloat more. They seemed to keep it down to a minimum.

I'd say that I'm not planning on touching anyone, but there is this whole ... passions thing at play. [He's still not certain if he's planning to go to that.]

And that's possible. Though I'm not interested in giving them too much credit. We know that they aren't the only players on the board.

[ Alice pauses in that thought. ]

Possibly. Though, I wonder if anyone would be bold enough to come forward and claim that fame, or stupid for that matter. The Seelie won't take too kindly to it, we'll have to keep on our toes, now.

[Xion isn't really sure what to say or do. She's able to gather the jist of the message: The king of their enemies is gone, like the crew at Castle Oblivion. Like Roxas' friend Axel. But she - they, so far as she could see - hadn't done anything since they'd gotten here. Not yet.

She could try to ask somebody about it later, she hoped. Hiro, or some of the others she met at the feast, the day she got here. So instead she asks the only question she really feels able to here.]


There's another feast?
