* Two missives are quickly dictated and sent out.*

“Lady Chancellor Larkspur, 

May you be in good health and spirits. Allow me to come right to the point, as is my favoured method in these sorts of encounters. 

As we discussed upon meeting in the Queens’ gardens, I will again invite you to tea at my estate, at your convenience. 

To prevent any appearances of impropriety, I will also invite the Minister Elect Balestiri to attend as well. 

I look forward to seeing you, on three evenings hence? If this serves well, I will send my carriage to your Tower at the eighth bell. 

Until next we meet, 

Lord Lucius Blackmoore, Head of House LeStrange 

———————————————————-

Lady Minister-Elect Balestiri -

Please forgive the boldness of this missive, as I prefer the direct approach to communications of this sort. 

I request your appearance at my Estate in Beetletun, three evenings hence, at the eighth bell. 

There is a tea to be held at that time, with the Lady Chancellor Larkspur in attendance,  and I thought perhaps you would care to join us. 

I await your response. 

Lord Lucius Blackmoore, Head of House LeStrange

“Shit. I’ve been found out. May as well admit to my crimes.”  Plucking up her pen, she snagged a sheet of parchment and stared down at it.  “I suppose calling him a greasy ignoramus likely won’t go well in my favor. Propriety it is.”

Lord Lucius Blackmoore,

I admit that I was surprised to find your letter awaiting me on my desk when I returned to my office. Nevertheless, I find myself interested in meeting you formally for tea. The Lady Chancellor as well would be a pleasant sight. Shall I bring anything for your generous hospitality?

Cordially, Lady Adileh Balestiri, Minister Elect for Krytan Freeholds

[luxelen]

With little time to spare,  Marissa the assistant read the socialite’s correspondence as the woman groomed herself in preparation for the evening’s dinner plans.

“Mmm, so he’s actually setting a date this time.”

“Very well, answer him on my behalf and let him know I’ll be in attendance for tea in three days’ time.  But have him send a carriage to the Rossi estate, as I plan on spending the weekend there.”

And then a certain, nefarious thought crossed the devious socialite’s mind, “Hmmm….  Marissa darling, remind me to add Lord Blackmoore to the list of eligible bachelors I’ll be sending to Susie for Elaine’s party.”

Lord Blackmoore, The Lady-Chancellor gladly accepts your invitation for tea and is delighted to hear Lady Minister Elect Balestiri will also be in attendance.  However, she requests a change of plans to where the carriage should be sent.   Instead of Larkspur Tower, the Lady-Chancellor will be spending this weekend at the Rossi Estate in Queensdale.  Please let us know if this is not an inconvenience.  Alternately, I may arrange her transport. As a friendly reminder, the Lady-Chancellor adheres to a strict vegetarian diet. Regards, Lady Marissa Bellisario Executive Assistant to the Chancellor

[luciusblackmoore-blog]

“Dreadful. There is no other word for this...vegetarian, is it? Demanding. There is another. Vegetarian Indeed. Prepare a table with an array of meats of all sorts. In the center place a small....infintismal in fact, plate of carrots and perhaps a radish. And....” Lucius turns to leave.”Have the carriage sent to the Rossi estate. We wouldn’t want the Princess to dirty her gown.” Bouncing off to his private quarters , Lucius grins. “This is going to be...fun.”

[Supposed to be anon, but!] Rumors around town: Isn't that gnome thing on Lucius Blackmoore's lawn that thing that was in the mystery box at Heart's Aflutter? They opened it on stage..."

What??  What is this rumour you are relaying to me? Mystery Box?  Heart’s Aflutter??  WHAT IS THIS GIBBERISH SUPPOSED TO MEAN?? “  Shouting, the man falls back into the worn, leather chair, haggard and weak. “I haven’t eaten in three days. Find me the one who sent me this atrocity. And don’t come to me with nonsense. I want ANSWERS!!”

“Forgive the intrusion, my Lord.”

The meek woman stood at the doorway to Lord Blackmoore’s study. Her eyes were drawn down and her hair was a mess of stringy blonde. She looked as though she often hid in the kitchen just to ensure that she wouldn’t find the wrath of her master. Standing in the doorway now, she wondered if she were here seeking safety at another time, or simple worry for the master of the house.

“I.. uh. Uhm. I wanted to t– tell you th– that I was at the Heart’s Aflutter sh– show and t– the woman that w– won the gnome was M– Minister Elect A– Adileh Balest– Balestiri.”

[luciusblackmoore-blog]

“SEE HERE??!”  Lucius stands abruptly, pointing at the poor servant girl. “HERE finally the answers I seek, coming from this….this…” Hesitating, the man waves his hand in the air, toward the servant girl. “This person.  Give her a years salary right now.”  Lucius waves her away. 

“Now….”  Turning on the personal assistant beside him, Lucius waves his hands as he continues, small bits of spittle escaping his lips in his raging. “THIS is what I was seeking, and not -ONE- of you imbeciles could bring me this information?? “  Walking away, Lucius shakes his head, hands on hips. 

“YOU…”  Pointing at the personal assistant now across the room. “You will send an invitation to this….Minister Elect. She will be invited to attend the tea along with that dreadful Larkspur woman. Kill two birds with one stone.”  A wicked grin slips onto his lips. “So to speak.”

(( @icarianism   @luxelen ))

Meanwhile, outside, the love gnome somehow shifted to face toward a window in Lord Blackmoore’s study, as if staring at the man, mockingly so.  Even tiny dandelion weeds started to sprout around the atrocious little thing!

[luciusblackmoore-blog]

Lucius stares out the window. “Did it...did that monstrosity...move? Or are my eyes deceiving me?”

“I wonder if that dreadful Larkspur woman is behind this. I’ll find out when she comes for tea.” (( @luxelen @icarianism ))

“What do you mean there is more than one A. B. ?!?! Alana Breckinridge?? Adileh Balistreri??? Amanda Beck??!! Andrew Bentley!!? FIND OUT WHICH ONE SENT ME THIS…MONSTROSITY!! It makes me ….feel. Find them or you will pay the price.”

(( @icarianism ))

[luciusblackmoore-blog]

“A.B. …A.B. …Who can this be? “ Sinking slowly into a chair, Lucius cradles the ridiculous gnome figurine, a pained expression on his face. “You will search the kingdom until you find the one who sent this to me. I -must- know who it is.”

Sending his servants scurrying with the order, Lucius places the gnome on the table before himself, staring at it with unblinking eyes.

“A.B.”

(( @icarianism ))

[shilohdevereux]

It certainly wasn’t anything he might have been expecting. Or, maybe, he was expecting of these things entirely too often. Either way, there was no dodging it now when it happened. And so, as the sun rose early Sunday morning, Lucius would find a present left on his step that didn’t seem to want to leave.

A curse.

Whoever shall touch this item will be cursed with love or lust. Or whatever the story was. It hadn’t been entirely too clear to begin with, but there was no note left behind for it anyway. Rather than the mysterious box it came in, it was just the gnome sitting there. Staring wit his beady little eyes and smug smile.

And with that good morning, was left a small note. 

“Wishing you the best!

          -A.B.”

[luciusblackmoore-blog]

“ What....is that?” Glaring at the small figure that is brought to him, Lucius grasps at his throat as if about to be ill. “It isn’t a...token of affec...tion. Is it?” Circling the table, he leans on the surface, gaining a better view of the odd little gnome. “ Where did it come from?” Standing upright, His dark gaze moves swiftly between the deliverer and the gnome several times.

“It is a gift M’Lord. From one...A.B.”

Lucius paces the room, repeating the two initials under his breath. “Is it a prank? Or some sort of insult...” Coming to a stop, He pauses to pierce the figure with an analyzing look. “Throw it out.”

Stomping across the room, Lucius grasps the item in his ungloved hand to dispose of it.

(( What happens next?! Feel free to pick up from here! TY @icarianism ))

[luxelen]

Lascivious.

“LLLLLLLLLL……..”  And she nearly licks her friend’s cheek, taunting the stranger being a little too forward with their single word statement.

“LLLLascivious!  Sure! That’s me.  Look at how I make my tongue wiggle!   Also, anyone seen Lord Lucius Blackmoore lately?”

(( @luciusblackmoore because mention! :D ))

[luciusblackmoore-blog]

“Has anyone made the arrangements to bring that dreadful Larkspur woman here for tea? In a clear mental lapse I made the mistake of agreeing to meet with her. Sometimes I even surprise myself.” With a rather loud tsk, Lucius departs, his many servants snapping to and running about to make the plans.

(( @luxelen ty! <3 ))

What is your character's favorite color to wear? Is it the same as or different than his favorite color?

“Favourite colour?” Lucius waves his hand dismissively at the asker. “Favourite -colour-? Really? That is the best you can do?”  Lucius snaps his fingers, servants scrambling. “Show this buffoon out. I didn't want a reporter in here for questions any imbecile can ask.”
