Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

margaery tyrell 🌹 ota

[partialities]

( a )Community Gardens

[ it might be a bit difficult to recognize the little queen, though she easily stands out. her hair is partially dyed to befit her gown, streaks of bold blue in the brown of the soft curls, it is styled to fall around her face, held back only by a single silver pin shaped like a rose.

she favors the community gardens greatly and can usually be found sitting there with a book or simply gazing at the flora. every now and then, you could see her in her gowns and silks actually working the gardens, planting and maintaining the plants with gentle love and care.

they remind her, after all, of home. ]

( b )Art therapy

[ she can, at times, be found here at the studio. ladies must know their crafts and margaery sings, dances, excels in needlework but at times, does enjoy simply trying her hand at painting, too.

the paint's texture and the colors are vivid and new, far superior to the ones in westeros.

you might find her working on simple little projects such as this one, paint smudging her cheeks and nose. ]

( c ) wild card / june-catchall

[ she will be found wandering here and there, peeking into the different rooms or having a cup of wine at one of the bars. you may come and meet her as you wish and approach her at all times, she doesn't bite very often ]

for any closed prompts/specific requests for margaery, I can be reached at her journal or at ladylike ]

Gardens

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Kara decides to take a walk through the gardens. They remind her of her California home, though not much of her Krypton home—the greens are much too vivid for that. She does get a sense of renewal and freshness, walking the rows. Maybe there was something to the photosynthesis theory of her powers, or maybe it was just the cleaner air.

she spots Margaery, and thinks of her conversation with Winn. She wants to be a good influence on the teen, so she approaches ]

Margaery! How's it going?

[partialities]

Good-day, Kara.

[ she will close her book, the hardcover reads something about classic poetry before placing it on her knees and folding her hands primly above it. they could paint a portrait of her like this, every curl is styled and every ounce of her posture is graceful.

a lady most always remember herself, after all ]

I hope it has found you well.

[takingkarabusiness]

Very few complaints.

Your hair looks amazing! Did you just get it done? Can I see?

[partialities]

A friend named Chloe helped me. Her own hair is entirely blue and I feel entirely in love with it. She was sweet enough to find us hair dye, only I wasn't brave enough to dye it all, do you truly favor it?

[ she turns so she could see, the silver rose pin glimmers in the light ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Chloe's my shipmate, and of course I favor it. It looks great with you, and blue is one of my favorite colors.

The pin you have in your hair is beautiful, too. Did you buy it on the planet?

C. Bar

[passingthrough]

[Kitty leans against the door to the bar, surveying the room when she spots one of her crewmates at a table unaccompanied. She heads over to her. It's been awhile since they really talked. Oh, passing in the halls of course. It's hard to escape anyone fully on a ship, and she wasn't looking to escape.

Actually, she had been enjoying the girl more and before the dance she was extremely appreciative of her help on her hair. But at the dance and shortly thereafter she heard things from other people that weren't quite making adding up with the things Margaery had told her. It made her wonder what else she was "misunderstanding" and why. Rather than confront her she fell into something of a watchful distance. Well, that and she'd become extremely involved with Winn which ate up a lot of her time.]

Drinking alone?

[partialities]

drinking?

[ she has been reading something on her comm, a file or another but she will put it aside as she approaches, giving her all of her attention and chuckling when she realizes what she was referring to. ]

All ladies drink wine with their supper. The less savory ones break their fast with a cup. It is very common in Westeros, I almost forgot it is not so for some of the other realms.

[ she brushes a curl of blue behind an ear ]

I hardly mind it but I would always be glad for company.

[passingthrough]

[Kitty slides into the seat across from her.] I guess I'm still on the side of the savory then. [She doesn't drink much. Not that she could swear she's never started a day with a drink, but nothing comes to mind. It's not her go-to vice.]

What are you reading?

[partialities]

The only lady I knew who drank at dawn was a terrible one. You are far more savory.

[ she oft thinks of the lannister woman, terrible in her schemes and plots. how poorly she would have done here without her guards and men and with no true kindness or charm to attract sympathy.

margaery does so wishes -

but that is a petty matter. ]

I am only sending word to a friend. In my realm, we send words with ravens. These are ever faster.

[passingthrough]

Always glad to be more savory than some lady. [She smiles.]

Texting, huh? I kind of avoid that when I can. Seems like a tedious way to talk to someone. [Without as much of the connection she likes.] I wouldn't have guessed you'd do it, but that makes sense coming from a background of sending letters. Most of our communications were audio or in-person back home.

C. some room on the Iskaulit probably; action

[bryces_pup]

[Margaery would have received a message a few days ago, telling her to meet Riona on some specified room on the Iskaulit. Her only instructions were to wear trousers/breeches and to come with her hair tied back. Likely it isn't hard to guess what this will be about.

Riona waits inside, dressed similarly as per her instructions. There are two blunted practice swords propped up in the corner, but she seems content to ignore them for now. She'll be stretching and cracking her knuckles until Margaery arrives.]

[partialities]

[ she will arrive in clothes she will burrow from nova, a pair of dark breeches and a grey tunic. funnily, her hair will be styled in the manner of her friend as well, a thick braid resting over her right shoulder. in between the usual brown, bold streaks of blue dye will be seen. ]

You must forgive me for being so late, Lady Riona. I am terribly unused to these fashions.

[bryces_pup]

[It is rather odd to see Margaery in that get up. She would not have asked her to come clothed like that if it weren't necessary.]

Nothing to be forgiven for. It's nothing requiring precise timing.

[It's then she notices the blue in her hair, and she tilts her head in wonder.]

Forgive me for diverting for a moment, but is that... color in your hair?

[partialities]

Is it not beautiful?

[ she steps closer so she could see the details. the color is a vivid sky blue that seems to flatter the nut brown of her hair in an odd manner. she is smiling as she allows her to inspect it. ]

My friend Chloe dyed the ends of my hair. It looks much prettier when I wear it loose.

[bryces_pup]

It's a gorgeous color. Hair dye is not popular in Thedas, and I've never seen it in person. I think your friend chose well.

[Ah, but they can talk about it later.]

As pretty as it is, I did not bring you here to admire your hair. But I'm sure you've already guessed why, considering the wardrobe restrictions I've imposed for today?

[ iskaulit room ]

[precedented]

[ They set up a time and place. For his part, Leto fashioned two sharp wooden daggers and a simple board. It would be strange, teaching someone. Leto was born with all his knowledge. No one ever taught him anything. He never needed that kind of experience.

And yet, here he was. ]

[partialities]

[ and with an odd student, margaery would add. she would be the first tyrell woman learning such a craft. charm and beauty and wit were the weapons most ladies in her house practiced. but all those ladies had many knights sworn to protect their lives and brothers and fathers besides. without any of those, a little bending of the traditions is necessary.

which explains the good cotton breeches and the pale green tunic is wearing, hair held in a braid of brown and the blue dye chloe had used on the ends of it.

she would still curtsy upon entering ]

Good-day my Lord.

[precedented]

[ His lips twitch. The etiquette is ingrained on both of them, though Leto knows how to relax it. Still, he bows and gives the professed greeting of the Fremen, with his palms facing each other as he moves his arms away. ]

And a good day to you, my lady. Are you prepared?

[partialities]

As prepared as I shall ever be.

[ odd as it may be, she moves in her new clothes in the same graceful manner she does in her silks and bodices. it's more comfortable, to be certain; far less pretty, perhaps but practical and at times, a practical approach is more important than a traditional one ]

I do dearly hope I shall not bring shame to my house, we are known for our gallant warriors and skilled swordsmen.

[precedented]

Even skillful warriors must start at the beginning. They are rarely blessed with immediate abilities to wield a sword or dagger.

[ Unless they're like Leto, but he's the special snowflake. He hands her the wooden dagger. ]

First, I'd like you to try and hurt me. Do not worry. I will not retaliate, only dodge.

gardens forever late

[universal_charm]

_{[ He does a double take when he sees Maegery, mostly because at first he had not recognized her with the new hair, and then it had clicked. It was one of those times where she was kneeling and tending to the flowers, the smell of earth strong around her as she turned it, which might have been what drew him. ]}

Did you do something with your hair?

shh you're right on time!

[partialities]

You tell me, Captain.

[ she beams at him, then rises to her feet to take a slow bow. she dusts the remains of earth from her hands before arching one eyebrow ]

Have I done something with my hair?

Re: shh you're right on time!

[universal_charm]

_{[ He laughed, because of course he saw that there was something different, but he liked being able to make Maegery smile and play these little games. ]}

Hmm, I'm not quite sure... Maybe something with the cut? Or no, the color?

[partialities]

The color? is it different?

[ she glances down at the ends of her hair and smiles ]

Well then, it would appear so.

[ and then she moves to sit ]

A friend helped me dye it, do you like it?
