(09/21/14 16:52:45 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to ALL: Arriving, I made a quick inspection inside the large tent....seeing it had been lavishly furnished with soft comfortable furs spread throughout, a small vanity and mirror for Khaleesa's use to prepare herself, all the trappings of a 'honeymoon' suite. I snickered....and left the tent to inspect the rest. Long tables of food were being prepared by sulport wenches and cooks that had been brought up in advance to work the ceremony and its celebration afterwards. Keg after keg of paga and Sulport's own special sul paga, wines of every sort, mead and lots of it, ale and more of that.....everything seemed in place. I breathed a sigh of relief. Here I was Volstagg's henchman, the one who did his Dirty Deeds Dirt Cheap and of all things he had given me to do was prepare for a silly FCing. I didn't like it....but for some reason he had me doing it. All was ready. (09/21/14 16:58:33 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. First Comes Anarchy, Then Comes Me -- is within a private sleeping tent -- says to -KHALEESA-Scribe|Probati: My thoughts lingered on Valia as I made my way towards where I knew all the tents of Sulportians to be, but the sight of the amphitheatre forced mind to purpose and I approached the particular tent that I knew you would be hiding in. I didn't call out, I just shoved at the flaps of the opening and stepped inside. My gaze quickly found you pacing and I could tell you were anxious. It didn't matter though … because I felt fine....- Almost immediately within my wake, The tailor sent by TyRen arrived and I indicated for her to hang the robes up nearby. She also placed down a garland of talendars. I dismissed her then with a Grunt. Once we were alone, I moved in front of you to stop your pacing and offered a smile- ”It is almost time, You need to wear that robe. And the Garland is for your head of course.. Dress quickly.” -Then I fell back into silence and just stared at You.- 09/21/14 17:07:21 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to ALL: ANNOUNCEMENT: Khaleesa's FC Ceremony is about to begin, all those attending should move to the Ampitheatre pulldown, where the ceremony and celebration will take place right outside the theatre upon the grassy grounds!!! All are invited! (09/21/14 17:10:54 ) -KHALEESA- Scribe|Probational of Sulport -- is within a private sleeping tent -- says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : A rush of disappointment at seeing you enter my tent washed over me. Only moments ago I had been lost in a glorious thought that you and my soon to be Companion had fallen off a cliff to your demise. My hatred for you had not waned. I had tempered it, briefly, yet seeing you now caused it to come flooding back in droves. My gaze shifted to the tailor as she hung the robes on the other side of the tent. I held my breath for a brief ihn as they hung, allowing a brief moment to take in their beauty. Her craftsmanship certainly was not questioned for these robes were perhaps the finest I had ever seen. My fleeted thoughts were suddenly halted as I heard you speak of the garland of Talenders for my hair. The reality of this situation had now slapped me in the face. There truly was no escaping this. My gaze, filled with venom, turned to you. There was no attempting to hide the resentment within my tone as I spoke. "Then get out, so I can change." (09/21/14 17:15:05 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to |||Karian Cook||| Claudi: I spotted you Greetings Claudia. Did you bring the cake? I sent word for a large cake to be made but the messenger never returned. I figured he met with a bad end somewhere during his journey! (09/21/14 17:17:26 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. First Comes Anarchy, Then Comes Me -- is within a private sleeping tent -- says to -KHALEESA-Scribe|Probati: -I smirked and had considered refusing, Perhaps I would strip you myself and dress you like a little toy doll. I could paint your face too... but Alas, You had a companionship to get to.... Still... I didn't leave just yet....- ”Remember Khaleesa, I have your signed confession of illegally possessing city maps and replicating them for profit. If you are not on your most perfect behaviour today. I'll hang you from a tree and wipe your bloodline from the world.” -A smile found its way onto my pretty lips. A big toothy smile- ”When you are dressed, make your way outside where the Initiate is waiting for You. Don't make me come find You.” -And then I turned away, pushing out of the tent with a jovial tune whistling from my lips. It was a grand day and I disappeared to find a good viewing place. (09/21/14 17:17:58 ) |||Karian Cook||| Claudia Chef Extraordinaire Thentis | Roleplay Evolution -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to TyRenCome to Snuff the R: Motions to the Men that guarded the cake that I spent most of the day preparing ~Oh you mean this~ as the Guards cleared section away placing the 5 tier cake with ribbons of frosting around each one with berries and grapes trailing around the thick columns holding the cake together to hide them easily. (09/21/14 17:31:46 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : You were right behind me as I heard your voice and turned. Tal Volstagg. All is prepared and soon, the 'bride' will be brought forth. I saw the Initiate and his monks congregating when I flew in.....you know it cost Sulport one gold to get that man to agree to do this. He kept saying something about how I was keeping him from his 'cleansing' of slaves that he liked to perform during the Fair 09/21/14 17:32:03 ) -KHALEESA- Scribe|Probational of Sulport -- is within a private sleeping tent -- says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : I could feel my small frame tense beneath my robes as you spoke. I said nothing, instead allowing the icy stare of my gaze to speak for me. Never had I allowed rage to temper my blood as much as you had these last few hands. Signed or not, you knew it was a fraud which made my loathing for you even deeper. I finally took a deep breath as you exited the tent. I glanced to the seamstress who had been watching, though by the blank expression that washed over her face, I could tell either she didn't know what she had just heard or was paid by Volstagg or TyRen not to care. She approached, cautiously, perhaps out of fear I may lash out at her. I began to remove the blue robes of my caste, though it was no easy task. My desperate attempt to remain composed had all but disappeared. My long slender fingers fumbled as I tembled ever so slightly. I could see the pity she had blanketing her features as she stepped forward and helped me as I stumbled along. I hated that I had to wear -these-, mostly because it was just another detail in which he was manipulating my every and breath for the last several hands. Finally, she whispered "you are ready" as the garland was secured in my hair. (09/21/14 17:33:44 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. First Comes Anarchy, Then Comes Me -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to TyRenCome to Snuff the R: Excellent! I am eager to see it begin. (09/21/14 17:36:55 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is in storyteller mode and creating some wonderful adventure -- says to ALL: The Supreme Initiate of Sulport arrived, accompanied by a group of his 'monks/underlings' who were chanting in unknown tongues. One carried a cauldron from which smoke billowed lightly, smelling of incense, while another held a small gong, hitting it occasionally as the procession moved forward. Khaleesa was brought forth from her tent as the procession came by towards the ampitheatre grounds. The procession stopped outside the area the Companionship Ceremony was to take place......"Stop!" A great, solemn, hollow voice boomed. All eyes turned to the sound of that voice. The Supreme Initiate of Sulport himself stood forth, separating himself disdainfully from the cowering knot of white-robed figures that cringed behind him. He strode majestically across the grounds. The people gathered fell back. The Supreme Initiate was an emaciated, incredibly tall man, with smooth-shaven, bluish, sunken cheeks and wild, prophetic eyes. He was ascetic, fervent, sinister, fanatic. One long, clawlike hand was raised grandly to the heavens. "Who will challenge the will of the Priest-Kings that two will be companioned this evening?!" he demanded. No one spoke. The people fell back even farther. Volstagg himself almost seemed awed. The spiritual power of the Supreme Initiate was almost sensible in the air. The religious conditioning of the men and women of Gor, based on superstition though it might be, was as powerful as a set of chains more powerful than chains because they did not realize it existed. They feared the word, the curse, of this old man without weapons more than they would have feared the massed swords of a thousand warriors. The half insane Supreme Initiate then again spoke. "I have been brought here by Volstagg, Leader of Sulport, to companion a woman named Khaleesa to a man. Khaleesa step forward!" He held forth a prewritten contract in his hand, a document Volstagg had given him days earlier in his conspiracy to ensure Khaleesa was FC'd. Then when Khaleesa stepped forth, the man looked directly at Volstagg and spoke to him. "Bring forth the man who is taking this woman as his Free Companion!" (09/21/14 17:43:55 -KHALEESA- Scribe|Probational of Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to ALL: I was taken aback at the Initiate as he approached. I had never lay eyes upon such a man before, and his ghastly appearance forced a slight gasp to pass my lips. Nothing about him offered any solace as I took a few steps near. I could hear my heart pounding wildly within the wall of my chest. Perhaps others heard it to for I was certain the deafening sound could be heard by all. I nearly reached out and grasped the Initiates hand, as inappropriate as that would have been. Perhaps it would have offered him some inkling that this ceremony he was about to perform was a mistake. My small hands curled tightly and formed a fist instead as I merely stood there, frozen, as I waited. (09/21/14 17:47:23 ) .V O L S T A G G of S U L P O R T. First Comes Anarchy, Then Comes Me -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to TyRenCome to Snuff the R: -I had been sitting next to Valia. Just watching. I couldn't help the sinister glint of satisfaction in my eyes as I watched everything unfolding before me. This was no random act. This particular case of manipulation had built up over a period of many months. I had planned every little piece, formulated exactly how it would all play out. Khaleesa had been manipulated into a very inescapable predicament and this ceremony would seal her fate in Sulport and under my ruling. But there was one more piece to put into play. The Free Man who was going to be lucky enough to companion Khaleesa. I knew that there were whispers, trying to guess who it could be, but what nobody knew what that the Free Man himself did not even know... and that Free Man … Was You.- -I waited for that initiate to call out for me to declare the Free Man, and if this was not a safe Zone, you would have found the tip of a blade jabbing against your back right now. Instead I put on a friendly smile and dipped my head forward, leaning close to the back of your left shoulder in order to speak quietly with You, my growling accented voice low enough for only You to hear.- “Greetings TyRen. I am glad you could make it to this Glorious ceremony. Because you are going to go up there, right now and take your place. You are Khaleesa's new companion.” -I paused to let that sink in. and My gaze dragged from Khaleesa to stare at the side profile of your face.- “I am sure you are considering refusing this right now. Let me help you weigh your options... If You do go up there, look at the beautiful prize you get to walk away with, A deliciously appetising little scribe who looks like she would just -milk- You dry in the furs when the time comes for her to bare you an heir. “ -That smile faded from my lips.- “But if you don't do this. You disobey me, And I am your Leader, Ruler of Sulport. I will have the Sulportian Forces confiscate your ship and burn it. I will bring your compound to ruins, Seize all your riches, declare you traitor to your oath and to your homestone, an exile of Gor and I will pay fortunes for your head. That bounty will be spread far and wide across Gor and every Black, Mercenary and cut throat will be Hunting you... if I don't get you first.... Do this Now, For your People, for your Home Stone, and for your Leader. It is your duty” -I was not bluffing and gave you a slight nudge in your back, pushing you forward as I called out to the initiate in a merry fashion.- (09/21/14 17:58:20 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : I turned, hearing this and seethed. My eyes narrowed as my lips quivered in anger. I had no idea this was your plan and was pissed off to no end. How dare you! You of all people knew I was a man who NEVER took an FC. I listened to your words continue and then slowly spoke in reply I give you my alliance because of the Homestone, Volstagg and you take my loyalty and use it for your own sinister use, whatever that may be.....and know I cannot refuse. You are a cunning sleen and I shall have my revenge upon you someday. I reached for my saber, my anger overcoming me, but then when my hand found nothing, I realized now why you had this moved to the Fair....where no weapons could be brought and I would not be able to fight my way out of this. Yes, you were a cunning sleen afterall and on top of that, you had me do all the friggn preparations for this, do all the work for what you knew was my own FCing. I spit Then I turned to look at Khaleesa and the Initiate, cursing under my breath as I was dressed in the long dirty sleen coat and my sleen boots stepped forth to stand near Khaleesa TO KHALEESA: I whispered, it seems the joke is upon me. That Volstagg in all his worrying of you, got me all along. I find you to be a good woman, a friend and I do this for Homestone......for I know very little about you actually. I turned to the Initiate then and blurted out in pissed off tone..."Get on with it!" (09/21/14 17:58:20 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to .V O L S T A G G of S U : I turned, hearing this and seethed.

I turned to the Initiate then and blurted out in pissed off tone..."Get on with it!" (09/21/14 18:04:07 ) -KHALEESA- Scribe|Probational of Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to TyRenCome to Snuff the R: My knees buckled slightly as I heard the name of my companion and in an instant, my mind went blank. The only person I hated more than Volstagg was...him. He, in my mind, had caused this. I glanced to the Initiate, who seemed note even slightly phased or concerned. How desperately I wished for him to make this nightmare simply disappear. My thoughts had emptied and I stood there completely numb, scarcely aware of the proceedings or anyone that was gathered. I heard you speak, though my stoic gaze was cast forward. I did not look at you...I dared not...for I knew that my eyes would reveal how I felt and while I heard words spill from your lips, they were merely words that I refused to hear. (09/21/14 18:08:59 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is in storyteller mode and creating some wonderful adventure -- says to ALL: The Supreme Initiate, his prophetic and fanatic eyes looked upon the man, TyRen and the woman, Khaleesa and commanded they face one another, and take each other's hands. As they took each other's hands and faced each other before him, the Initiate began "Blessed is this day when two pledge their union in free companionship in the sight of the Priest Kings! I, as an agent of the Priest Kings, their servant and mouthpiece who resides on Gor to be their voice, now do declare that you two will now be united in the Free Companionship for a one year time period. May your union be fruitful and may this result in bringing forth children to ensure the future of Gor! " The Supreme Initiate now poured one goblet of wine and handed the goblet first to TyRen "Now drink from this, the wine of Companionship and then allow Khaleesa to do the same!"After the wine was drank, the old man, in his sinister, fervant fever turned to Volstagg "I have the written contract for the couple to sign, the one you supplied me!"It was apparent that Volstagg had been the one who had planned this forced companionship for whatever reasons he had for doing so and had already informed the Initiate about this entire companionship, that the two were in collusion. (And I never expected to have to write my own friggn name in the blanks of this prewritten post!!) (09/21/14 18:11:36 ) -KHALEESA- Scribe|Probational of Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to TyrionI belong to Khalee: You were the only face in the sea of strangers whom I stole of glance of as I stood there...frozen...waiting for this to conclude. (09/21/14 18:14:18 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to -KHALEESA-Scribe|Probati: I took the goblet of wine, my hands shaking, not in nervousness but in anger. I brought the goblet to my lips and chugged from it, not just a sip, leaving just enough for you to get a sip. The booze would settle me even tho I was already half drunk from the sul paga I had been sipping upon before the ceremony. I handed you the goblet now. (09/21/14 18:19:14 ) -KHALEESA- Scribe|Probational of Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to TyRenCome to Snuff the R: The words and voices whistled about my form though offered nothing more than background noise as I continued to stare at the Initiate. Perhaps it was his unsightly appearance, or perhaps it was the shock that still consumed my form, that forced my features to remain stoic. I turned to face you, merely going through the motions and mimicking your own stance as you had turned to face me. Gloved fingers curled gently around the goblet and as I peered inside, seeing you had left me no more than the smallest of sips, a sigh softly passed over parted lips before pressing the goblet to them and relishing in the tiny droplet you so kindly bothered to leave, before handing the goblet back to the Initiate. (09/21/14 18:21:06 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is in storyteller mode and creating some wonderful adventure -- says to ALL: As soon as the wine was drank, the Supreme Initiate of Sulport then announced to the crowd "Let the Feast begin! I present you TyRen and Khaleesa, Free Companions!" The fanatic old man grinned then and blessed the entire crowd as one of his monks presented him a vial of holy water which he sprinkled forth over the crowd by waving it wildly about. Then the Initiate and his monks all formed in a line and proceeded to leave the area, again chanting in unknown tongues, the gong being banged as they left. (09/21/14 18:27:16 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to -KHALEESA-Scribe|Probati: I watched you as you didn't even look upon me. I was seething and you were treating me like a Kur. It actually made me frown as I whispered The crowd better have brought gifts in the form of coin. Ill need it to wall off half the house and keep you on one side I then turned to the crowd, giving a small smug smile, the best façade of one I could manage now. I had been fooled but now was not the time to show it....Hell, I hadn't even got a FW pregnant but found myself forced anyways into a FC. (09/21/14 18:31:29 ) TyRen Come to Snuff the Rooster |-PRIVATEER-| Sulport : Sulport declares the rest of the evening a holiday and all the booze and food is free of charge, paid for by Sulport! Enjoy! 09/21/14 18:33:20 ) -KHALEESA- Scribe|Probational of Sulport -- is upon one of the tiers of the great ampitheatre, where entertainments such as Kaissa matches, poetry readings, pageants, song dramas, and concerts may be enjoyed. -- says to |TyRen is my GOD| S.e.l.: For the first time in perhaps days, a smile left my lips as you spoke. The prospect of that large wall was appealing and I intended to hold you to your word. I took a deep breath knowing well this could have been worse. I could have had to companion Volstagg himself. While I resented you both, I held him in the deepest contempt and wished only vile and wicked things to fall upon that man. As you turned to the crowd I too smiled though my gaze revealed the inner turmoil I felt. |
