"Nothing like the feeling of an almost complete project. Hopefully things will go better this time around."

@donovan-of-the-order “Ah, hello my good sir. The air is pleasant today, yes?”

[shovelry-in-spades-deactivated2]

“Yeah, the air is wonderful!” Donny said, taking off his headwear and taking a deep breath of the lovely air, then, as soon as the knight exhaled, he pulled out a couple of tupperware containers, one had 4 baked potatos, the other had a fine pair of peices of meatloaf “thanks for inviting me up here to have the interview!”

[avianna-icarus]

“It’s a pleasure in itself. Now. Do you have any questions first about what we’re talking about?” The Lady would ask with gentle intrigue, a stag butler would come to her side and serve some tea while placing a plate down for Donovan to use. “Admittedly, I also need to refresh my memory on the matter at hand. So it would benefit the both of us.” Avianna would smile politely to the other.

“I was thinking of offering you a position in the league of light” the older man spoke “I’m donovan, the leader and founder, we already have 3 knights on our side, Shovel knight, Black knight, and, although we have a rough past, Sheild knight.”

[avianna-icarus]

"Thats an.... interesting proposition." The Lady would ponder on Donovans sudden request. It was quite out of the blue from one she had only met moments ago. "What would you require of me on the chance that I said yes?" She would ask. "Not that I'm uninterested in hearing more, but I do have other engagements to ballance." Avi would express her concern. Yet he had caught her interest.

"Is that my dear Charly I spy?" -Avi

The Charming Charlatan’s eyes shot up from the scroll they held in one hand, and the glass lens necklace they hovered over it in the other. That voice! Dear Grackle! Where ordinarily they would greet their friend with enthusiastic gesture and fluting voice here they stood rigid. Their gaze returned to the objects they clutched, threading through the small magnifying glass to whatever was written on the scroll beneath it. 

“Ah! I am… overjoyed to see you! Lovely madam… but I… uh…” Brows knitted in concentration and a tic tugged at their flashed grin. “I’ll be truthful and say I just got these things to line up and I’m afraid if I move, well…”

[avianna-icarus]

Avi would take in the scene a moment. Now wondering if she'd come at an inoppurtune time for her friend.

"Would you like a spare pair of hands?" She would offer gingerly. It looked like some delicate work on Charlies slate, but she was very curious as to what they had found there.

Avi would approach slowly to examine their equipment, and the scroll should the charlatan allow her.

((Just a heads up to anyone this might apply to, Im limited to phone tumblr for a lot if not the majority of the time. So if I interract before reading any rule pages etc, I promise it’s not because I didnt bother to read them, I just physically can’t see or get to them. If there’s anything you need me to know before hand like this, please dont hesitate to PM me. Even if its just something really small.))

(Open for all)

Gloved fingers would brush and settle on an iron balcony as the lady of the manor took a moment to soak in the view of the sky, contemplating how her day had gone.

With a heavy sigh she would sit down and return to her drink, pouring jasmine tea in to a lonely china cup while a spare thumb fiddled with a lace fan.

Avianna would brush her fingers down the tassle and open it, only for her face to turn to expected dissapointment for some reason, as she then closed the fan and placed it back upon her dress belt.

“At least the town sits in peace.” The lady would murmur reasurringly to herself, then sipping from the cup.

Tagged by @thesmallesthammerknight (A long, long time ago now. Oh boy...)

━━ FULL NAME: “Avianna, G...Gemma, Icarus.”

━━ GENDER & SEXUALITY: Female, Bisexual for simplicity sake.

━━ ETHNICITY & SPECIES: “Southern Italian. Rather sure I’m still human despite everything.”

━━ BIRTHPLACE & BIRTHDATE: The valley. November 5th. Every year.

━ GUILTY PLEASURES: Warm sugary drinks, Evening strolls, cloud watching and buying new tools for her workshop.

━ PHOBIAS: “The undead and losing my sibling.” 

━ WHAT THEY WOULD BE FAMOUS / INFAMOUS FOR: “I’m already quite the distinguished airship engineer in my town. I’m the daughter of the late Sir Camden Icarus and Lady Eileen. I suppose my nobility will be the only thing I’m remembered for at this rate... If I’m lucky.“

━ WHAT HAVE THEY / WOULD THEY HAVE GOTTEN ARRESTED FOR: “I did get rather unlawfully incarcerated by our now ex military commander for undisclosed charges. Fortunately that mess has been dealt with.”

━ CHARACTER MOST LIKELY TO MURDER THEM: “I’m sure Isaac has plans. I wouldn’t be surprised if Captain Jackdaw didn’t want to plunge a knife in my back, and probably most of the aristocracy in the town come to think of it. I’ve become adept at spotting smiling faces with ulterior motives.”

━ FAVORITE BOOK GENRE: “Fiction, thriller and horror novels grip me the most, but I admit, I’ll read almost anything I can get my hands on.”

━ LEAST FAVORITE BOOK CLICHE: “Oh no! Despite my huge developmental arc, My ankle is now inconveniently broken by this misplaced rock and I have to be saved from the big mean man!” 

━ TALENTS & / OR POWERS: “Not to brag, but I’m very handy with a wrench. I specialise in fixing flying machines, airships, motors, anything that has wings and wheels. I balance the responsibilities of my mother who was a marchioness, looking after my younger sibling and my business. I’m an unofficial millitary head, a perental figure and a business owner all in the same day some times.  I like to call that super power enough.”

━ WHY SOMEONE MIGHT LOVE THEM: She has money. Not the best or deepest reason, but a lot of suitors Avi has dealt with have been more interested in the financial gains of being her partner in the past. She’s put up walls, so it’s very hard to find the true Avi unless she trusts or deems you worthy enough to let you in. She is in fact a very open minded, kind hearted and selfless young woman who works hard to keep her home town a safe, peaceful and thriving place for the townsfolk to live. 

━ WHY SOMEONE MIGHT HATE THEM: Again she has money and a lot of privilege to be understandably jealous of. On appearance alone she is very prim and proper. Enough for people to quickly make prejudices that she is the stereotypical wealthy, snooty aristocrat that looks down on others while treading on them. She can come across very cold and aloof some days, and is very forward driven that it’s likely she’ll pick up enemies when trying to attain her goals. No one can please everyone.

━ WHY YOU LOVE THEM: She’s just so fun to write and is one of the smoothest muses that I have that I can instantly jump in to writing. The inspiration of Avi’s character comes from an eclectic mix of places and yet she’s still her own person and developing her own self the more and more I write her. She’s a little firecracker who has so much variety in her personality that I feel I always discover new things about her, and she’s such an adaptable character. Big things come in small packages I guess.

(I tag anyone who would like to do this.)

Night time musings (AU open to all)

The humming of the engines in the flying beast were silent that evening as the militia crew sat idle in the sky. The ship hung above the air dock town, ever ready to defend the border territory of the valley.

What of the commander? 

She was sat in her cabin, polishing multiple engine parts while the officers above deck patrolled and skimmed the skies. Lantern light gave the ship a soft warm glow against its dark wood body and brass fittings. The moon had been the only other source of light to blanket the ship, but even then its peaking from behind the clouds had been brief and fleeting.

Placing the last metal piece down on her desk, more a glorified paperweight in terms of usefulness at the moment, Avianna would get to her feet and open the shutters of her cabin, stepping on to the balcony to gaze down at the flickering lights of the town as she gathered her thoughts.

The spotter sat in his nest, jotting down ship numbers as they sailed in to port. All accounted for and all scheduled. The trade in to the valley was important to keep track of, since the skies in the west were no longer safe. Taking the role of commander had given the Lady an opportunity to work closely with her brother, as well as more conveniently managing the democracy of the port town. Covering all bases gave her a better peace of mind.

Yet, the overhanging threat from the valley had also given her new gripes to handle. Managing the local guard units had been one thing, but the possibility of an entire army was somewhat daunting.

She shoved such thoughts in to the back of her mind. That bridge would be crossed when the time came....

Avianna took in a long breath of fresh air, pulling her cap by its peak to tuck it under her arm.

She thought of her warm bed back home on the hill, her friends sleeping soundly while she watched over the evening... And of course Black Knight.

She’d thumb her fan, tucked firmly in her belt...
