004 // the house of sin

[serpentis]

Who: Dorian and assorted guests
Broadcast: Fleet-wide, 3/10
Action: In a villa practically in the forest (THE HOUSE OF SIN)
When: Broadcast- 3/10 // Action- 3/9-3/31? Until we leave.

Broadcast:

[The broadcast goes out on 3/10, and Dorian smirks a bit into the feed.]

I believe I've secured lodging for myself, with room enough for several others. If you need a place to stay, do let me know. It's a quaint little villa a bit outside of town. ...please don't mind the suspicious glances, I assure you, I've done nothing entirely against the guidelines that were set.

---------

Action:

[Dorian has secured a villa, but the residents of Mor don't seem too keen on having an evil mage for a neighbor. As the month goes on, more and more villagers will show up to stand at the gates of the villa and threaten to come in after the "evil wizard".

Maybe he shouldn't have gone so overboard with the whole "contacting the spirits of the dead" thing.]

((OOC: Mingle post for the House of Sin. We'll pretend there are enough rooms in here for everyone! Even if you character only drops by to rest their feet a bit, everyone is welcome to visit and stay the night if they want.))

[With an open invitation to basically the entire fleet, Jove does expect to see a lot of people coming and going. There are still a lot of people she hasn't met yet, but a young woman responding to Dorian's invitation isn't as odd as it could be. He is, after all, very charming.]

Hello there. [She's just come in from a full day out in the sun, a small pouch in one hand and a collection of green leaves in the other. Combined with her pointed ears it's an incredibly stereotypical picture of an elf, but she doesn't care much at the moment.] Are you here for a room? There's still quite a few left.

[ladiesss]

Oh--

[she stops her close investigation of an old design carved into the wood of a door to look at who's talking to her--immediately hoping she's not in trouble. she's... probably not in trouble, right? she looks from the ears to the things in her hands...]

Um... Hi? I don't know, I was kind of just over to visit...? Maybe?

[...okay, come on Krista, get it together. she pulls all of her hair away from her shoulders, just to have something to do.]

Dorian invited me, so...

[dawnwillcome]

[Is she afraid? That won't do at all.]

There's a room by his that's still open. I can show you to it, if you like.

[ladiesss]

Oh, I don't know if I want to... stay, or anything...

[she definitely seems... awkward... about something... maybe it's the idea of imposing on someone's living conditions, or maybe it's something else...]

[dawnwillcome]

[Whatever it is, it's something Jove notices is holding her up.]

You could if you wanted to. If Dorian invited you specifically you must be important to him.

[ladiesss]

...You think so?

[well that perks her up a little. she was kind of under the impression that he just invited a bunch of people and whoever showed up were his new friends or whatever.]

[dawnwillcome]

Absolutely. He might act like a puffed up peacock who wants everyone to look at him, but he could use more real friends. If he went to the trouble to make sure you ended up here I can only assume you're on the way to that.

[ladiesss]

[she remembers what they talked about... maybe he's not as good with people as he looks. maybe... she takes a deep breath, hoping maybe it'll get some of that awkwardness to leave her body or something. get it out of here.]

Okay. I don't want to stay forever, I gotta keep tabs on my crew, but. [she smiles.] Maybe a little sleepover wouldn't hurt, right?

[dawnwillcome]

I've been informed sleepovers actually do the exact opposite of hurt. Still interested in being his neighbor for a day or two?

[ladiesss]

[she's so bad at committing to things like that, but... sure, she nods.]

Yeah. Okay, I could do that.
