Video - Unseelie [Locked msgs to some]

[withbite]

[The current barons/baronesses and close (or just people whose name he remembers) will receive this via raven or imp messenger) --]

You are invited! You and a +1 are invited to the opening of The Oasis. The Grand Opening will be on the 26th and will last until the 28th. Come prepared. Accommodations available in town or the Spire. Consider it part of the VIP treatment.

[The rest of the Unseelies will be greeted by a smiling dark-hared man.]

Greetings. I'm sure that in light of the everything that's happened lately, some of you could use a little R&R. For those that don't know the term, that means rest and relaxation. It just so happens I'm capable of providing that. Thanks to the assistance of a few of your compatriots, The Oasis will be opening for business for all your relaxation needs. Well, for most of them. This is an adults only enterprise, so try to use your imaginations as to what that means.

Just because it's a desert doesn't meant you can't enjoy yourself. There's hot and cool springs, waterfalls, quite little nooks and... not so quiet little nooks. Thanks to the help of a lovely vixen with a very green thumb, there's even plant life to make it a little more tropical. Everything is half-price for the opening weekend; the 26th to the 28th.

Since this is a vampire-friendly zone, there will be a no-vampire staking rule in effect once you cross into my territory. Other than that, I don't really care what you do. As long as you're not causing a fuss that I'll have to get involved in, have fun.

[There was a rumbled caw from over his shoulder and as he shifted to look behind him at the raven perched on the top of his chair, the locket moved enough to make her visible.]

Oh, right. I'd advise against going outside of the marked boundaries into the desert. This is sand worm territory, after all. Mine aren't patrolling yet, but that doesn't mean a wild one won't come up and make a snack out of you.

Anyone with chits from me for services rendered can consider them viable for The Oasis.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled drudgery.

[He smiles, waves, then closes the feed. If anyone has questions, they can contact him at their leisure.]



{OOC: Last component of his quest was advertising the finished oasis. So, welcome to Orgy Central, Drabwurld}

You never know. I'm very hardy.

[sculptor_of_aman]

Perhaps you are. But you have never been with a Noldo. Of that I am quite sure.

[withbite]

I have no idea what that is. Probably not. Have you ever been with a vampire?

[sculptor_of_aman]

We are the great innovators and creators of our people. Sometimes called the Deep Elves, for our constant delving into unexplored territories.

And... only my husband.

[withbite]

Oooh... we're supposed to hate each other, aren't we? Elves and vampires. I think I read that in a pamphlet. It's okay. I can put aside a prejudice I have nothing to do with for a night.

[sculptor_of_aman]

I was never involved in the conflict. And I bear you no ill will.

But as I am the mother of the Fëanorionnath... I do not think you understand what it is you ask, exactly.

[withbite]

I don't understand half of what you're saying. If you want to come to the opening, come. If you want to see about having a little fun, we'll see about that. I'm not going to ask you to marry me and certainly not to have my kids -- which is impossible, by the way.

Can't you guys just... enjoy the simple things?

[sculptor_of_aman]

[She shakes her head.]

What you ask is not that simple. For my people, such acts are marriage. It creates a bond that cannot be undone. Not even in death. There are, I suppose, ways around it, but I would think you would find the risk too much.

[withbite]

I probably would. I prefer my rolls in the hay to come with as few strings as possible.

[sculptor_of_aman]

Then I do not suggest asking an Elf. Especially not one with the stigmas I carry. "Kinslayer" is not much of an endearment.

There are other ways I can take comfort, should I desire to.

[withbite]

We've all killed relatives when they push the right buttons. It's their own fault, really.

['Uncle' Damon had been bad.]

Well, have fun with that. I'm going to be over here, enjoying myself the conventional way.

[sculptor_of_aman]

Truly, were the circumstances otherwise, things might play out differently. I know how enjoyable such pleasures can be. I do not think I would have had seven children otherwise. It is charming to think at my age and with my family's reputation that someone would still give me such attentions. Thank you.

[withbite]

[Seven kids? Wow. He'd dodged a bullet.]

Right. Well, enjoy yourself, however you plan on doing that.

[sculptor_of_aman]

You say that as if those are the only pleasures to be had.

[withbite]

They're the only ones worth having.

[sculptor_of_aman]

Hmm. There are some that may surpass them, depending on one's temperament. The joys of creation, of achievement... Does not this very opening give you pride?

[withbite]

Pride? No. It might make me richer and give me more playmates, but let's just say my 'temperament' makes for sex being the better bet for enjoyment.

[sculptor_of_aman]

And why is that, if you will indulge my curiosity?

[withbite]

Because I like sex. I'm a creature of base desires and everything is amplified. Sex gives me the best of that world.

[sculptor_of_aman]

[Oh, whoops, you've triggered her Noldorin curiosity, all right.]

That must be fascinating. Are all of your kind like that?

[withbite]

Like what? Horny or oversensitized?
