You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a talkative fishwife:’His Holiness and Julea stole off together to the Cardinal’s office.. Twas quite some time before they emerged again and His Holiness went right off to the confessional too. Wonder what that’s all about.

Surrender
Comments Off on SurrenderFebruary 15, 2012 / Here & NowMy father, my dearest father not of my blood, once told me that I was the most beautiful thing he owned. I was fourteen and I believed it.“Jules…” He murmured, with fingers gripping me here and there. Him, eager and full of promise of all the things he intended to do to me. Me, whimpering, undone at his touch and ready to surrender again and again and again.
Here is where I forget the oath to the bird. And there is where I forgot all the wrongs of today and yesterday and last week and last month. My previous grievances banished as my lips trespass over his. Forward steps inching me backwards to my bed that violates sumptuary in so many ways.
“Beautiful, inside and out. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, Jules.” Whispered words almost inaudible against my ear echoing my Father’s sentiment. I am now nineteen and I believed it again.
With averted eyes from his lightning ones I breath in the scent of him. When I exhale, he’s gone. Almost. He says something about seeing to something important and being back shortly but in truth, I am still recovering from the rapture of his touch and it barely registers.
“No!” I object loudly in my head, but the thoughts never find voice.
There is a flourish of grey cloak, and a glimpse of the midnight leather beneath showcasing muscular form as he turns towards the door and before I can draw my next breath, he is gone.
Two days later, he has not returned yet his presence still lingers here and it will not leave me alone. I am so tired of being used.

If we sleep together, you will drive me crazy baby
If we sleep together, I save it all for you my baby
If we sleep together, If we sleep together. -

Old Rumors
Comments Off on Old RumorsFebruary 15, 2012 / RumorsTime in this public place has allowed you to catch wind of the following rumor:
‘You know that Tubori woman, what goes by Jules? Ain’t be surprised if’fin she’s a thief or worse. Always trying to sneak about and seen her playing real nice with Tenebrae over at the Boar. What more, saw her so sick she could barely stand on her own two feet, then was right as rain the next day! Ain’t natural, I tell you.’Time in this public place has allowed you to catch wind of the following rumor:
‘Surprised that Julea woman still has her head attached to her shoulders. Ain’t a few weeks ago she was insulting the Grand Master of the Knights right to his face, in front of the Cardinal and everyone. Now I hear she’s going around the South Side picking fights with mercenaries. Ain’t saying the Blind Horse is a place for manners, but have to be a fool to go in there and start screaming obscenities at General Latago.’You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’You know, my friend Mavis says that she was serving drinks at the Yule party and when she ducked upstairs.. she saw the Justiciar closeted up with two pretty young girls!’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’You know my cousin’s aunt’s brother’s daughter works at the Court and she says that girl Julea turned up in dress fit for Nobles at Court. Can’t tell me she didn’t sleep with somebody important to get away with that if you get my meaning. Wait, didn’t you say something about her demanding to see His Majesty the other day?’.
Time in this public place has allowed you to catch wind of the following rumor: ‘Did you hear? That wild girl Julea they all been talkin’ bout gettin’ kicked out of the Queen’s Tavern? And then tha Justiciar himself followin’ her back to her place? They say he didn’t come out fer three hours! Can’t be tellin’ me they jus’ played cards!
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from an enthusiastic poet:’There was this common Tubori girl boasting in the Church Square last night that she spent "several hours" alone with His Majesty, and said that he was "very charming"! Huh, I wonder what -they- were up to? I thought you were meant to find mistresses after marriage, not before!’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’They be sayin’ that Jules is headin’ back to Tubor. Good riddance I say. Don’t need that whoring wench sullyin’ up our men-folk. Can’t see the appeal myself, give me a pretty submissive Lithmorran girl any day.’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’Did you see the fight at Park Street training? They say five people stood toe-to-toe with one of them there Lords.. you know ‘im.. the short one. And and he beat tha’ wild Tubori girl to an inch within her life. They fought for nigh on ‘alf the night before he won.’
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’You know that Merc guild .. you know.. the one down by the Queen’s Inn Tavern, just at the edge of Southside. They been sayin’ something big went down there last night. Said there was quite an orgy. Someone even said tha’ Brotherhood were there! Tenebrae himself! And two of his underlings.. You know.. wha’s his name, the one they call tha ‘Professor’ and ‘Kitten’.’..
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’Figured based what of the previous talk, the Justicar and that Jules girl look an awful lot alike. If they’re not shacking up, they spend lots of time together. Heard someone say they were cousins… would explain it.’.
Time in this public place has allowed you to catch wind of the following rumor:
‘Seen more than one of them thieving types wearing that gray bag over their heads, with the little slits cut in for the eyes. But ain’t none wear ’em like Tenebrae. Can’t rightly tell one way or the other what Tenebrae looks like when he wears it, but last I saw, was one of them foreign women with big blue eyes wearing one whilst skulking around the South Side. Julea really shouldn’t bother with them disguises, if she’s not going to do a good job of it.You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a talkative fishwife:’Oh my goodness, did you see it? That Sanguine girl was claiming to be related to the Justiciar and he came wandering into the Bluebird, and she claimed it right to his face! And he was just dumbfounded and said he didn’t have any clue what she was talking about!’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a talkative fishwife:’Can you believe the Justiciar thought that claiming he was related to that Tubori harlot was well advised? It’s obviously attempting to cover up after that dress incident that had everyone calling her his mistress, but honestly? I’d rather folks think I was sleeping with her, than related. Nothing you can do about bad blood ties!’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’Did you see that Tubori girl down Southside? Wild as I’ve ever seen her! Drunk as a sailor with a tongue to match and all over some Farin guy’s lap.’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’That Julea woman is sure odd, she is clearly a part of the Brotherhood, but seems to know less about the Tenebrae than the church does. Come to think of it, how does the Church know so much about a man hidden in such mystery?’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a talkative fishwife:’You see Julea and some blood haired guy at Church Square? First they were glaring daggers at each other, shouting threats and then minute rolling around laughing. Something about a kitten? Did she do something to a Kitten? No…No.. the Justiciar calls her that when they’re sloshed on whiskey? What’s that all about?’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’Did you see that Tubori girl today?" "Barely able to keep on her feet! Disgraceful!" "Mavis thinks that she’s got that look about her. You know -that- look." "Think she’s preggers?" "Well… you didn’t hear it from me."’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’They say that Jules-girl was invited to join the inquisitor. Who’d she lay with to get an offer like -that-? Not sure I’d be too happy with her walkin’ round the city with that kind power.’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’So last night, was drinking a pint in the Queens Inn when I guess that Julea lass said something to the Admiral he didnt like, both all talking in the pretty Tubori tongue. He nearly drew a blade on her and drug her out of the Tavarn by her hair, dragging her off in anger! Wonder what happened there!’.
You spread some coin around and eventually you get a tidbit from a passerby:’Ya know that one girl? The one with her boot in her mouth? Julea What’s’her’name? I heard she and General Latago had a lovers quarrel and the General kicked her out of their house… wait, they’re both women?!’.

Three-Pronged Fork
Comments Off on Three-Pronged ForkFebruary 13, 2012 / Here & NowSo now I have a choice, and one that I have been putting off for.. at least a few weeks. And the number of choices seem to be growing by the week. I suspect by the end of the month they will be a score or more. Maybe I better decide soon before my indecisive mind is plagued by even more options.
The Knights of Lithmore?
I think because I have been told so often that I can’t, it just makes me want to want it more. But am I a Knight? Could I ever be and still retain myself somewhere deep in side? Is it safe for me to be? By far this is the most dangerous of the choices, especially if that small (not so small) concern turns out to be a growing reality. But that. I do not want to think about. It is pushed to the back of my mind where even I rarely peek. I think, it can wait.A Scribe to the Royal Family?
By far the safest of the three options. I can closet myself away with my (well not mine but I can pretend) books and lose myself amongst the dust and just.. forget that the rest of the world exists. Another kind of oblivion but is it the one I seek?A Bardic Writer and Singer?
This one I still tip toe around. It scares me, because I know if I walk down this path, then there are emotions and other such things I’m going to have to face that terrify. Dare I dance? -
February 13, 2012 / OOC
That excessively fuzzy picture over there is me. My mobile camera wasn’t playing very nice (or perhaps my hand is truly that unsteady) and that one was the best of the trio I took. Newly short hair – last minute decision on Sunday at the hairdressers. I don’t like hairdressers (one of my many phobias) so it was incredibly bold of me. Little *cough* bit curvy. And, I think by the end of the week my hair will be very red too. I love red. So you see where Julea gets that one from! There are a few other traits that carry from me to Julea; I like to think she has my eyes. *flutter lashes*
To sum the girl behind the mask that is Julea up:
I’m a single Mum, of a pretty awesome 4 year old. I graduated from the University of Waikato in 2011 with an A+ average. I was given a job offer a few weeks into my Masters accepted and jumped ship from New Zealand to Australia. I’m a bit of a geek. I’m a web developer. I’m very nomadic. I’m an Aries. I’m often solitary and lonely. I’m messy. I’m a cancer survivor. I also studied an undergraduate degree in Environmental Science. I’m a night owl. I love (like most on TI) to write.
I’ve been out of the gaming scene for a while; but loving being back in it again, as a player. I know first hand what goes into making a game like TI and have nothing but admiration and respect for the staff that provide us with such an amazing world to take part in.
I admit I’m still very self conscious about my roleplay and writing again. Especially with the lack of comments *mock glares* No idea why -that- is.

QOTD
Comments Off on QOTDFebruary 12, 2012 / QOTD“It seems that much is true.” Jack nods a few times, “With the ear of so many in the city, I wonder sometimes if its you that rules this place.” he leans back a little in his chair, folding his arms.
“You already know the answer to that one Jack.” With a skip of her step, you turns on the heel of her boot and walks with a swagger towards the Eastern door. Jane is given a wink in passing.
Jack chuckles after you, “That’s what I was afraid of.” he grins wryly, “Fare well, Julea.”
