old habits die hard, florence learns. they wrap fingers around their sword’s hilt, tightening their grip with each rustle of underbrush and far-off howl. they stretch their senses to their limit. they keep counting. over and over, tracking each member of this doomed company.

it’s just like home. they want to scream at the realization.

eventually, they find themselves walking beside aneska. “ i can feel my skin crawl, ” they tell her. “ how are you faring ? ”

the cleric has something to say to @mieluselul.

[mieluselul]

dark , dark , dark. horrible place. that rot sits heavy in the air , the stench of it lingering incessantly 'round her eyes , her nose ⏤ some terrible punishment for polluting this darkness with light. though , aneska wears it wonderfully. the discomfort , that is. she glides leisurely along the path , face unmoving , eyes hardly wandering , as if uninterested in the waste around her. she has the strangest suspicion that it's watching , somehow , that it'd know if she were afraid. & she is afraid.

aneska forgets herself. florence's voice , like a torch , is a comfort.

" well ... i feel awful , i suppose , but then that's no surprise. " she responds coolly , gaze falling upon her companion , who shines so brightly against her backdrop that aneska fears shar might take offense. " though , i think i might go crazy if i hear shadowheart's fawning just one more time. lucky that her goddess favors her , for now. meanwhile we're all going to rot in this place , if it doesn't kill us outright. " a scoff , & a smirk , however irritated. " i don't suppose shar has taken a secret liking to you , too ? i'm almost compelled to convert , if it'd cure this terrible sick. "

[mieluselul]

thinkin abt aneska. that is a shallow shallow woman. she absolutely loses her mind to look a mess. by mid act 2, she chops her hair short because it drives her crazy that it keeps getting messy. she will actively check up on companions she likes and fix their clothing/hair because she likes for things to be neat and beautiful and composed. she's a control freak and very neurotic in this way, but it is, at the same time, a way of showing affection for her. most of the love she received her entire life was based mostly on superficial things like her appearance, and she was always dressed and dolled up to fit the part. other than that, she knows so little about love and vulnerability and how to show genuine appreciation, so grooming her companions is a display of her utmost affection.

[recitedemise]

@mieluselul asked: (royal ball): our muses dance at a royal ball. / Royal, Fantasy Romance, and Spice: still accepting.

The party thrown to wrestle their favor comes most decadently. There are fires everywhere, conjured motes of embers and crystal chandeliers. Romantics waltz about, their soiree daydream impossibly drusy, and from beyond those windows from beyond thick drapes, the Sword Coast, shimmery, bobs with stars. It's a scene from a novel, a young woman's fancy as she curled up in bed. It's the hour for suitors, for those weighed with prospects to swoon and mingle, and had there ever existed a world most fabled, this, this here, would be it.

To no one's surprise, Gale would favor a book.

The wizard—in few words, that is to say—is no stranger to such, um, extravagance, he'd call it. One look his way would likely show that, he supposes, his suit pressed nicely and his hair tied sweetly, all manners with smiles and courtly steps. He holds to Aneska, her waist slid comfortably beneath his palm. She's dressed well, too, a dark, coquettish drip amongst Baldur's Gate's finest, and if she looks dolled up to both ruin and kill, well!, the wizard, twirling them, already knows. "I'd believe you were a pillar among those students of the Art having your hand tonight," he praises, their motions borderline magical. Afar, Gortash's entourage watch with wine. "Though I would advise against so thoroughly charming the Baldurian elite. Our party's running rather short on room last I checked. Ensnaring a train of suitors would hardly be conducive, and here I had pinned you as more of a romantic! Though one could argue a heartbreaker requires it. I've the sneaking suspicion I'm making a few enemies."

[mieluselul]

black shoes , black dress ⏤ long , black hair , smooth & straight , bobbing perfectly with every dip & twirl. black eyes , lashes , brows. dark , dark , dark. faint vanilla aroma , perfume rolled conservatively against pale wrists , & the back of the neck. red , red lips. cuttingly beautiful. wings are tucked neatly , discreetly , against the flat of her back , & smiles are tight lipped. all things unseemly are hidden , because she ought to be perfect , perfect , perfect. this may very well be her last chance to flaunt her pedigree.

& of course , it simply wouldn't do if she couldn't make of herself a credit to her partner. that damned wizard , always so finely groomed & so perfectly well mannered he nearly might have outdone her , were she any less debonair.

" my , my , mr. dekarios. are you quite sure i'm the only heartbreaker between us ? " eyes narrow , playfully accusatory , as she takes in his visage ⏤ she finds it rather hard to believe he's no admirers of his own , somewhere amongst the crowd. " it's one thing to have a natural charm about you , but another entirely to talk so sweetly to a girl who has your hand in a dance. i might get the wrong idea , & then what would become of my party of suitors ? i fear they'd be entirely adrift ! " said in her typical dramatic fashion. oh , she does so love to tease him. of course , she has no fear that he might take any offense. there's truly no hiding her adoration for him. while she loves all her companions quite fervently ⏤ she loves the ones who amuse her the best.

" though , that might not be such a terrible thing. "

[saintsdawn-archive]

what a pair they make! both the proverbial and literal knife attacking in tandem, inflicting pain on those that probably deserve it. gods, help those that cross their path. they’ll need it.

“ that sounds right, and i suppose it is right. without a sharp tongue like yours, i’d be useless. what good is a wandering knight if they’re a fool with a sword ? ” of course, if she couldn’t swing sharpened steel, she could always rain down fire. 

incredible how efficient a wildfire can be, isn’t it?

“ you know, ” she’s circling back to that very first thought, grinning, “ i think we’d be a formidable force. what i fail to do with steel, you could do with words. i think it’d be enough to make any foe shake in their boots. ”

[mieluselul]

oh , aneska likes florence. of course , earning her favor is far from a challenge ( she's a tendency to fall for the first smile cast in her direction ) , but there is something uniquely alluring about her companion. visually , she's striking , of course ⏤ silver hair , blue eyes , wide smile. it's a remarkably bright visage well suited to one touched by divinity. but then there's also her spirit. pure tenacity. that of a true adventurer. & of course , her apparent propensity for sweet talk.

all this to say ⏤ she'll make a wonderful ally in arms , given their current predicament , & aneska has hope she'll make just as good an ally otherwise. there are others she doesn't feel so strongly about.

" my , who ever said you don't have a way with words ? i , for one , am feeling quite flattered. a cleric's endorsement is high praise , where i'm concerned. " at this , she smiles. " i do hope i live up to the expectation. i've never been the adventuring kind , truth be told. the most formidable foe i've ever had to battle was an unfortunate suitor , i think. "

[recitedemise]

A dance is a very delicate way of putting it. Gale knows dances, has attended both a myriad of balls and lavish masquerades. He knows the artistry of wordcraft, the clever back and forths, and so, this dynamic, he thinks, is leagues from a caper; rather, it's quite like a bit like cat and mouse. "Petty is certainly a word for it. I'd spent a considerable portion of my youth within those most incensed Waterdhavian debate halls," he starts by way of answering, her mock offense delightful. "Suffice to say, I believe my being here proves I've survived its trials. Rest assured, it was far from just spells where I had sharpened my talents. In establishing discourse, I might have had you beat." Astonishing. To think, he, just like their proud little minx, nursed a bit of a hellion squared in his bones. Still, considering how he'd brightened with his exciting memories, perhaps this 'startling revelation' was not startling at all. He seems at once to peacock, righting chuffed within in his seat. Had she thought herself second, someone else adored more over her, she'd do well to rid herself of any lingering worries; Gale, to his credit, seems explicitly charmed. "Of course. How remiss of me. I would very much like my gift, Aneska, please and my very considerable thanks," he teases, head dipped in reverence. "Should there come a time I'm to return your boundless generosity, know that I will do so--with interest."

"Though, I do wonder if you've your sights on making this 'spoiling' me a habit. Not that I don't appreciate the gesture, of course, and don't take this the wrong way, but--" he's thoughtful, orb giving a gentle thunder as he eyes that chain "--I'm still undecided as to whether being the fascination of your evening should leave me feeling as much as a mouse as I do. I don't suppose that's magically imbued, is it?"

[mieluselul]

oh , how he amuses her so , this man who so easily conjures words both honeyed & scathing. she is certain , unwaveringly so , that her antics have much the same effect on him. & so aneska smiles in her own strange way , lips curled upwards demure & toothless , eyes gleaming with devilry , & satisfaction. " oh , gale , don't make me sound so cold. it's not me that would have you scrounging through our unwanted loot for whatever traces of the weave you might find. i think you'll find i'm more romantic than that. i'm nice enough not to take this away from you for daring to challenge me , aren't i ? " in her typical fashion , words are spoken slowly , methodically , each syllable it's own performance. it's almost masterful ⏤ how she so sweetly draws out his name , how she briefly & pointedly casts her judgemental gaze upon their campmates , how she allows the warmth of her smile to break through & lighten what mischief plays in her town. those fleshy wings perched upon her back betray her. one might think her a fae , or better yet , a fiend , seeing how she so delights in acting wicked.

& yet , despite her theatrics , she is no more nefarious than the rest of their brigade. so when she pulls that coveted prize from it's hiding place , what she reveals is so quaint , so lovely , she nearly feels the need to drop it upon his lap , if only to denigrate the things value. it's a necklace , of sorts. a circular , golden bell hung upon an unceremonious bronze chain. there's an A carved upon its surface , surrounded by sweeping lines like wings. it clinks faintly , metallically , as it dangles from her pinched fingers ⏤ & there is , unsurprisingly she's sure , that familiar warm flush of magic that seems to dance upon the air at its call.

" see ? it's not just magical , it's beautiful. all gold , real gold. lovingly handcrafted for the adored heiress to the moshfegh estate ⏤ that would be me , of course. & kept in pristine condition. " she preens , smiles brightly as the bell's chain is given an emphatic little tug & it gives a little song. aneska would forget herself in her histronics , one of these days. " my good luck charm. though i fear my being in possession of it is a bit redundant. i thought you might be able to find a use for it , & appreciate it's artistry still. "

it never ceases to amaze her how quickly a conversation can turn. one moment they’re laughing and the next they’re trying to mend their armor, tiptoeing past the truth. “ i’m sure it comes as a surprise – given my silver tongue and unbeatable wit – but i’ve never been one for a battle of wits. they make me restless. ”

frustrated is what she means. 

and like her companion, florence has taken to looking down. the difference is how her eyes settled on the scratched leather of her armor. “ you’re right, though. they can cut deep, but i’ve taken comfort in knowing that they’re so unsure of themselves that they have to try to take me down with them. ”

then, with her voice thick with satisfaction, she adds, “ and i’ve taken comfort from a good left hook. ”

[mieluselul]

& just as florence casts her gaze down , aneska's own travels up ⏤ takes the spare , unguarded moment to study the intricacies of her companion's visage. the flex & twitch of facial muscles. the contemplation of blue eyes. she stores her observations away for later.

" is that so ? " says she , tone steady , unreadable. " i don't have any experience where fisticuffs are concerned. " & she digs a pointed shoe into the dirt , & ponders briefly on how their styles of dress speak to their differences : florence in half - plate & leather , aneska in a sundress , loose enough , but hardly befitting the adventure at hand.

" i'm afraid my word is my greatest weapon. oh , a dagger is nice , sure ⏤ i'm simply so much more adept at twisting the proverbial knife , i find. which is unfortunate , truly ! i'm a sweetheart , really , & quite sensitive. but one must indulge their natural aptitudes. use it or lose it , i think is the colloquialism ?

@oathwilled : " can he do a speech ? the demented fucking piss - mad archduke shithead ? " / accepting

" oh , honey , of course he can give a speech. " aneska speaks with half a mind , her eyes dragging up & down the cobblestone paths down which they walk , the scaling bricked walls of the castle ahead. this land is simultaneously familiar & foreign. a comfort , in some ways , & deeply unsettling , in others. " the demented , piss - mad archduke of baldur's gate is ... he's utterly insane , but he's also ... " she gestures with her hand , & it's a vague , shaky motion. " inventive , unwavering ... attractive. "

gods , it's just like home. under any other circumstances , she would thrive in this kind of environment. but against a power like his ? there is only so much that they can do under the watchful eyes of enver gortash. she treads carefully , here. " not only can he give a speech , but half the crowd will be sopping wet before he's even opened his mouth. we see a walking , talking prick , but everyone here ? everyone here seems to see some kind of almighty savior. it's pure delusion , sure , but he's exactly what these people think they need. even without the tadpoles , it's typical politics , really. as inane & cultish as it all is.
