Hello everyone! Now that our plot drop has been revealed, feel free to start writing and interacting with each other! Want in on this action? Come apply! We’d love to have you.

[plusdevisagehq]

word has gotten out that someone with power and prestige was present during the storming of the bastille. 

upon hearing there was an insider  --  a member of the second estate  --  helping coordinate the attack on the bastille, king louis xvi has requested that ALL members of french nobility take temporary residence in the palace of versailles.

you will be closely monitored during your stay at versailles. what you do and say may be taken note of. with that being said, hold your tongue and stay in the king’s favor. you are allowed to leave, but eyes will always be watching.

your carriage stops at the gate of versailles. a member of the garde de corps leads you inside. from there, a servant guides you to your private quarters. you barely have time to take in your surroundings before you notice an envelope on your bed. in this envelope there’s a slip of paper with your most guarded secret written on it  --  a secret you can’t afford to let slip. you toss the slip along with the envelope into the fireplace and watch it burn.

 who put it there and what else do they know ?

AN ANONYMOUS LETTER HAS BEEN DROPPED OFF TODAY !  i wonder what’s inside.

oh – it seems someone is blaming governor de launay for his own death !  

i’ve attached the letter below for all to read. do what you will with these words and pray your letters never fall into the wrong hands.

I find the events that have occurred as of recently to be beyond heinous. The people had no right to take the life of another and so violently at that. The people are angry, but they should know that their anger is absolutely useless. If they were to approach with less animosity then perhaps they would be heard. Truth be told, they have nothing to be angry about. They have roofs over their heads, food in their mouths and have the opportunity to be a part of a wonderful country, it is an insult to even hear of their supposed unrest and anger. If they want to be angry… let them, but always stay on your guard lest they make an attempt on anyone else’s lives. What happened to the governor is a pity, but if he knew to protect himself at all times, then perhaps he’d still be with us.

The main has been quiet, but have no fear - we’re still here! We’ll officially be opening up on February 1st, and we’ll have our first plot drop then. In the meantime, we’re plotting and figuring out exactly how our characters fit into this scheme. We’d love to have you join us!

AN ANONYMOUS LETTER HAS BEEN DROPPED OFF TODAY !  i wonder what’s inside.

oh – it seems a foreigner feels strongly towards the treatment of the third estate !  is there a spy within the second estate or is this simply a concerned individual ? 

i’ve attached the translated letter below for all to read. do what you will with these words and pray your letters never fall into the wrong hands.

I’ve barely found my footing here and it’s being threatened by Parisians. I don’t know how far or quickly this news shall travel, but by the time you get this, who knows what has happened already. Perhaps this won’t be the only letter you receive regarding this issue, maybe not even from me. There’s no reason to go into details - I hardly have any, seeing how I’m not there. Everything I receive is second-hand, at best. It could be exaggerated or something was forgotten. 

But you dare ask my opinion on this issue? We are divided for no other reason besides pettiness. Must we be so uptight about outward appearances when the people we are supposed to be looking after wants us dead? They may not be under my rule, but I still have a hand in their treatment. It’s sickening. No one would want to listen to an outsider anyway.

Each day, I think I understand this place but I don’t. Each day, I miss you all. Each day, I wish I was back home. France is my home now, but it has never been in my heart.

AN ANONYMOUS LETTER HAS BEEN DROPPED OFF TODAY !  i wonder what’s inside.

oh -- it seems there may be a traitor in the second estate. the king may have to watch his back, before this traitor leads revolutionaries to his door !  

i’ve attached the letter below for all to read. do what you will with these words and pray your letters never fall into the wrong hands. 

Today, Uncle brought word of a rebellion in the streets of Paris. His distress was evident - his manservant, he said, had disappeared during the afternoon and hasn’t been seen since. Uncle seems less concerned about the wellbeing of his manservant (Pierre), and more about finding new staff during such peculiar times. At first, I imagined disgruntled servants throwing up their hands in disgust at the ignorant and disgustingly indulgent nobility, marching out the door in frustration, but as Uncle continued to bemoan his loss, the story was painted more clearly. The horrific scene has stayed with us all evening, shrouding the evening in fearful whispers - will we be next? - and arrogant claims of the monarchy’s power over the insurgency. I see them as revolutionists. After all, why should some of us be royalty, while others suffer for each day? Their methods may be brutal - I shiver as I picture the Governor’s head removed from his body - but have they not suffered the same consequences for lesser evils? My mother prays they will never reach out doors, and I pray this as well. I hope they find revolution at the gates of the king’s doors, where the will of the people will be mightier than the will of pampered nobility.

a week ago, on july 14th of 1789, the angry people of france made their presence known. hundreds of men stormed the bastille, calling for their governor demanding he surrender and hand over barrels of gunpowder. after hours of meaningless negotiations soliders began firing into the crowd and chaos broke loose. by the end of the day, governor de launay’s head was being parading around on a spike.

word travels quickly in times of distress. please write an in-character journal response to the brutal and gruesome events at the bastille. this must be at least one paragraph ( 5-7 sentences ), but you may exceed this amount. submit your journal entries to the main so we may post them anonymously. and remember, don’t say anything you wouldn’t want to fall into the wrong hands.
