driftfleet | 009 // i carry your bones in my heart

Who: Dorian and YOU
Broadcast: Fleet-Wide
Action: On the Three Twins!
When: 8/11, Midnight.

[It's rare in Drift Fleet to see Dorian as The Necromancer. He plays with people, he flirts with them. Occasionally his humor is morbid. But that's just him.

But tonight is different.

The broadcast is from a darkened cargo bay of the SS Three Twins.

Dorian is wearing black robes with a pointed hood, and as the broadcast starts, he gestures with a skull-topped staff, seeming to almost do it for show. There's a whispering of something circling him, a spirit, perhaps, and candles illuminate around him as it vanishes.]

I do hope you're having a good night. I had nearly lost track of the date, what with the odd stars, but I'm quite certain that it is the beginning of the eighth month, Matrinalis. Which means, for those of you unaccustomed to Thedosian holidays, it is All Soul's Day. Or close enough. ...regardless...

[He conjures a small flicker of fire in his hand, the light casting shadows on his face, the glowing purple lines of necromantic sigils and runes seemingly etched into his hands and arms.]

It is the day we Thedosians remember our dead. As a necromancer, I daresay I am qualified to lead the celebrations, if you will.

You are welcome to come and extinguish a candle for those you've lost.

((OOC: A combination network post and mingle log! Start up an action thread if you'd like, thread with other folks, just leave a comment in the subject if your character is looking to chat with Dorian.))

_{[ There's a cock of his brow that suggests he is not going to take
that as an acceptable answer. ]}

I meant what purpose does your magic serve?

Are you, too, concerned I'm a maleficar? Has no one realized that if I wanted to do anyone harm, I'd have done it already?

[Really, now, it's been months.]

No, I do not think you would harm us, but I am only concerned for what your magic does to those whom have moved on.

I think that honoring those that have gone before us is... I would like to participate, but I do not want to participate in something that might disturb those I am honoring either.

_{[ Hurt them, he means, but he is trying to be diplomatic about it.
]}

No, I'm not once for shaking the dead out of their beds and forcing them to come to a tea party. The spirit you saw decided to visit of its own accord.

_{[ That seems to soothe him immensely. He did not think Dorian would do
anything unpleasant, but he did not wish to accidentally rattle spirits
either. ]}

Then I think it would be a great honor to participate. It always gladdens me to meet cultures that honor those that have gone before.

Good, then you are welcome to stop by if you wish.

[He nods his head softly, smiling a bit.]

I think I might. Is there anything in particular I should bring, as offering perhaps? I have not heard of your custom before, and I do not wish to do it dishonor.

You don't need to bring anything, I assure you I have all you'll need here.

Thank you. I shall come over as soon as I have finished my other duties then. That will be acceptable, I trust?
