bluh bluh huge ball
Characters: Vatheon
Location: That Castle
Time: Evening, on Sunday
Style: Any
Status: OPEN. Threadjack, threadhop, spam away!
[ Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen of Vatheon— whatever your newfound stature may be, Prince, Princess, Knight, or Peasant, you will all receive a message on your SFC on the eve of Saturday regardless:
You are cordially invited to the castle for this evening's ball. In addition, you are all welcome to try and solve the riddle if it fancies you. It just may break the curse!
The invitation is unsigned, but its intentions are clear. Maybe you hadn't quite noticed the sizeable castle in the distance of the city that had sprung up, but this message would surely garner your attention toward it now.
Should you arrive at the castle, plenty of attractions await you:
Ballroom ❧ A very large and beautiful ballroom is lighted up, complete with a playing violin orchestra. While the curtains will be drawn during this event, there is a windowed view and exit on one side of the ballroom that leads to:
Smee's Rose Garden ❧ A broad and colorful spanse of a garden, complete with many paths and turns. Plenty of roses are arranged in great arches, which provide perfect little places should you need some privacy with your sweetheart. Anyone familiar will even tell you that the garden was purposefully designed for just that sort of thing.
The Riddle ❧ There is an inscription located on a noticeable plaque set in one of the garden's benches. It reads:
Dining Hall ❧ Connected to the ballroom is an extremely long hall that stretches as far as the eye can see, elegantly arranged as the dining area. Expensive and exquisite cuisine seem to be on the menu— try something new? Chances are you won't be eating from a selection such as this again anytime soon!
Dais ❧ There is a noticeable raised dais that is easily visible via any area within the ballroom. It's locked off from guests, though— what is it for...?
Do enjoy. ]

Two are necessary to break this curse
Riled up, upset, what kind of love?
Only this kiss will stop it from getting worse.
Look for a winged one is push comes to shove,
Look for a glance slightly dark,
Search for a pair in reluctant love.
One answers a call; that's your mark;
One longs for patria though adverse.

A course wwe are. [And he scowls] At least, wwe should be. If there wweren't people like you, tryin' to undermine that united strength by disruptin' evverything and making the lowwbloods rebel.
[And here we've stumbled over the exact reason why he hates you so much, Signless. Congratulations]
no subject
But doesn't say something about us? It's not true unity, is it?
[He creeps a step closer.]
Imagine how powerful we could be if we truly were all equal and unified. Then we could take over the stars.
[Not that he wants that, mind you. Just hypothetically.]
no subject
There's a reason Her Imperious Condescension is in charge. It's on account a her lusus, wwhich is because a her blood. And wwe are her closest cousins, so wwe are the next in line, naturally. And the indigos, the most powwerful land dwwellers, because they can do their fuckin' chucklevvoodoos and control those beloww them. It's like that all the wway dowwn the line to the most lowwly and short-livved a the rusts. It's natural and logical, and it's just the wway it has to be for a vviolent and competitivve race like ours!
You can say maybe there's other wways it could be if things wwere completely different. But that's just fantasy and not true. Maybe there's small wways it could be improvved and things could be better for lowwbloods on a day to day basis, fine, but wwhen it comes to our basic nature, this is howw it is.
no subject
Why hasn't anyone tried to improve the day to day life of lowbloods? Why can't we be granted a little dignity, a little autonomy, the ability to be the masters of our fate? What are you so afraid of?
no subject
[He shrugs] Isn't there dignity in acceptin' your place and wworkin' hard to be the best you can be at your owwn levvel?
no subject
[Signless also shrugs.] If it's so dignified, you'd be willing to switch places, wouldn't you?
no subject
Wwhy wwould I wwant to do that? [Growl] A course I wwouldn't swwitch places.
no subject
Why not? Wouldn't there be just as much honor and dignity in working to the best of your abilities as a lowblood as there is in doing the same as a highblood?
no subject
no subject
no subject
I suppose I wwould, yes.
no subject
What if it were someone else, with the same blood color? Would that make a difference?
no subject
A course it wwould. I wwouldn't just boww my head to another sea dwweller a the same blood. There's a difference betwween slavvery and military rank, a course, but they'd havve to beat me dowwn to make me a slavve.

Those are important differences, but yes, that's true. Wwe're all trolls. Wwhen it comes to us against another race, wwe're the same.
no subject
So why is it that unity is only important when facing an outside threat? Why can't we always be unified, and work together instead of against each other?
no subject
no subject
If that's what you truly want, then maybe you should consider the reasons discord springs up, and do something to change those. Otherwise, trolls like me will just keep coming along, and you'll never have the unity against outside forces that you claim you want.
[Yeah, think about that, Dualscar!]
no subject
The reasons are people like you bein' hatched, and not bein' culled early enough.
