Lady Celes Crusader

Celes chuckles as she sees Tanny being grabbed away by Vahktang. She comments to Crypto. - Well, poor Tanny will be pulled over from guest to guest. I wish she'll have actually time to relax. One Sylph flies over Celes and starts to complain. - Mistress! Some of these guests are litterally dangerous. They shoot on us or try to eat us! - Do not worry! Since you're a magical creature, you shouldn't worry about these. Now, go on and treat more agreeable guests. The Sylph nods and resumes her activity as a flying pumpkin. Cryptomancer chuckles. - Arent you supposed to have full control of the creatures that you summon? - I sure do. smirks Celes, I sure do.

Tai Rong Xiang was standing in a corner and watches around quietly. Discretion is the most efficient tool when dealing with the other bosses and she eyes them one by one. Her smooth features hardens at the sight of The Sakurazukamori. Being from two countries that warred each other in the past, both herself and Saya are rivals since their respective arrival on Tony Avocado's territory. While they do not like each other, both respected each other since they both prooved that their methods of serving their respective organization while helping Avocado's had been extremely effective. Avocado knew about the rivalry and kept it alive since it pushed both asian women to their limits of their creativty and it benefits his organization. But now, since Avocado is dead, it's a completly different ball game. The calm woman wonders if her Japanese rival had an hand behind their common boss' death.

Well, I've tried Lays' Sea Salt & Balck Pepper Chips. I must say that, as stupid as it sounds, it taste like nature chips with sea salt and black pepper on it. It is pretty mild to my taste and a glass of water is recommended due to the amount of salt in it. It's not my favorite flavor.

Celes laughs when she sees the guess reaction to her pumpkins, then walks over Tanny and Mynx. - So, are you enjoying these little creatures. Mynx answers enthusiatically. - These are so adorable. They are fun to play with. Tanny smiles - It's really fun to see how some guests react to these. - I thought the same, Celes adds. The three keep chatting idly while the pumpkins continue their mischieves.

I'm in. Now... whom I'm going to play... hum... "The Black Dalia?"*winks at Vahktang* Enough of fooling around here's my character: Name: Tai Rong Xiang aka "The Opium Lotus" Origin: Hong-Kong Hair: Black Eyes: Black Age: 36 years-old Official cover: She owns an chic high-cuisine chinese restaurant called The Mekong Flower. While the first floor is a legit restaurant, Tai plans her dirtier business at the sober but cozy boudoir at the second floor. Background: She's a member of one of the most influent triads (Chinese mafia) that have it's eyes set on America. She's on the continent so can can facilitates weapons, alcohol and narcotics traffic back and forth Asia and America. She a kung-fu expert although she rarely display this skill in public. Crime: She wanted to make a bold statement by kidnapping and reclaiming ransom on a famous personnality. She hired a odd-job to do the kidnapping but he ended kidnapping little JonBenet Ramsay. Furious, she kills the child right away and ordered her body to be return in the house. After this mess, she made sure that the odd-job makes new friends with fishes, forever.

(OOC: I needed to completed this game so here's the epilogue) Epilogue Two weeks after the Nigger Island Affair, the seven survivors had been interrogated by the police not only about the incident itself but also about the crime mentionned by Adelaïde. These weeks influenced everyone's destiny. Anna Raven is now in Spain, hired back by Lady Morrain. Her employer became even more sympathetic with her governess and their friendship is strenghtned. As for Charles Baker V, the investigation cleared him of his father's death once and for all. He hired Luke Jesson as his secretary and man of trust as the events created a close bond between these gentlemen. Since Jesson had been already martial tried for the crime he had been reproached, he could go on with his life quietly. Jeremy Erickson had been kept in prison and then send back in America since he was wanted there for various crimes. Although he have so many crimes on his hand, he knows that he never killed his beloved wife; his lifestyle did. Lady Melia Darshiva had been confronted not only by the police, but also by the media. In fact, the journalists dub her as the "Dark Melia". While she's not being tried for being responsible of a suicide, her reputation had been stained. She decided to leave for Thaïlande, where she hopes she can rebuild a new name for herself. Claudia VanCluessen, however, will be not as lucky as Lady Melia since her past as a con artist resurfaced. As a resulted she had been tried for her con artist crime and serves her time in jail, mourning Flat's death. But of all seven, Tom Baker is the one who suffered the most of Adelaide's wrath. Since the story had been published, even thought the police don't have enough proofs to tried him for murder, the public opinion already condemned him. His brillant political carreer is ruined and he realized that what Adelaide said about Victoria was the truth: she did plotted to get rid of him. With the very little he have left, he decided to leave for the only country that will give him asylum; Dominican Republic. There, he rebuilt his life as a bar-owner. Adelaide's victims, Flats London and Victoria Butler had grand funerals. Ironically, their respective spouse were the one who suffered the most of their reputation even thought both Flats and Victoria did acted asa dirty as their loved one. By them being dead, they had been washed off all suspicions that inadvertly fell on Claudia and Tom. As for Adelaide, her funeral attracted many curious people while her artworks sells at vertiginous price. Even thought she killed only two of the nine guests, Adelaide succeded into marking the seven survivor with this ghastly experience. And then, there were seven.

(OOC: Thanks everyone!) While Celes chuckles at the sight of the rampant cake, she notices that the thing since to have a liking to Wyvern. - In case it's out of hand, Wyvern. I'll lend you a hand with this.

*rofl* If I have seen you instead of Katz, it would have been another game. Well, I knew with Vahktang it could have been either way so.

Celes cannot help herself but to laugh when she saws the Papa Smurf. She decided to spice up the ball and cast a subtle summon spell. Soon, little sylphes, desguised as little flying pumpkins, made their way over their summoner. - Little Sylphs, it's time to trick or treat so go see everyone and tickle them until you have their full attention. Once they do so, give them a nice lollipop of your own. - Could it be of any flavor? asks one of the magical creatures - Yes. And tell them something like this: "Now that you've been tricked, here's your treat." The little sylphs nods and quickly flies and seeks for any guest to trick and treat.

Well, if you take the time to read my replies when it comes to the "Birthday Lynching" prior Monday, you'll understand why I was so hesitant. Anyhow, I liked what Tanny post and I had tons of fun "arguing" with her. I think I'm cursed when it comes to being either the Baner or the Seer because I ended up lynched when I have these roles.

(OOC: Congrats Tanny for your victory) While en route for Maryland, in the chariot driven by the stranger who helped her escape, an exhausted Silence gives herself the time to mourn her deceased mother. But soon, rage is blossoming within her heart as although she always been a devout Catholic but she had been accused of witchcraft by the very witch who now saved her life. For now, the man who's driving the modest carriage will be her protector until she'll be old enough to be married. Time will probably transform her features, make her forgotten by Salem's people but it'll never heal her wound caused by her mother's death and Anne's betrayal.

Thank you Jonathan. *Gives a big hug* Deamon Infarel and Starlight also celebrated their birthday yesterday.

Silence looks back at Goodman Parcel! - I am not the witch! In fact, I did followed your guidance about the Governor. I didn't have no reasons to not trusting you! But do not be fooled by Anne or all these innocents death wont be avenged. Silence glares back at Anne. - I cannot admit of crimes I did not commit! You would rather seen a young girl of your daughter's age to pay for your crimes? Then you just prove what a witch is able to do!

Silence looks up to Anne. - I did asked my mother about witchcraft, it's because I wanted to understand what motivates the people to refuse the way God laid in front of us. She recited me a passage of the Bible that the Reverend thought us about not adoring a false god, this one was under a golden maverick guise. Mother told me that the witches adored a false god and therefore, turned against the very teachings of our own God. Since I've got my questions answered, I knew that staying clear from witchcraft is what I should do. The teenager frowns again and looks back up at her protagonist. - However, I cannot admit crimes that I didn't commit. I am only guilty of sneaking up late at night, spying at other people, but my intentions were to find the truth. And I did find the truth when I saw you last night chanting and making odd rituals over that herbal brews of yours! I've admitted my sins! I think it's time that you admitted yours and that you tell everyone in this village the reason why!

Celes walks over the bar stool and orders a glass of the House's finest white porto. As soon as she gets it, she takes a sip and walks among the guests, skillfully avoiding collisions or anything that could stain her white attire.

Thanks, although you can skip the lynching part! Anyhow, I hope that either MTYF or Vakhtang will choose either way.

Silence shakes her head and looks back over Anne. - The only sins that I'm guilty of is being young, naive, curious and trusty. But my mother's guidance was solid. She always showed me the right path and explained me why this path was the right one. The Reverend taught me the truth. But the sins of witchcraft are not mines! I've seen you doing these rituals! I've heard your weird chanting! Did you tried to enticed me and the other children in these blasphemous rites?

Silence keeps looking at Anne and replies - At first, I taught it was some herbal tea you were making for Hannah, who is ill these days, but when you chanted in that bizarre tongue and made this strange gesture, I felt deep in my heart it was wrong. Mother used to make me some herbal teas when I had colds and she wasn't signing and making odd gestures. Silence sighs and frowns again. - I was born and raised here. Everyone know me since my whole life and I trusted everyone, even you Mrs Arthur. I do recall that when I helped you picking up herbs, you did tooked the time to explain me the use of the many herbs you are cultivating since several years. Back then, it was nothing suspicious for me as I trusted you, but right now, it explains a lot of things. Also, I've never seen the Reverand in the garden and when I've asked him why, he told me that it was your responsabilty as teaching the words of God was the Reverend's and that you don't mingle in each other's responsabilities. Silence started to cry again - He trusted you! Goodwife Parcel trusted you! My mother trusted you! I trusted you! Everyone in this village trusted you! Why this? Why?

Silence keeps giving Anne an angered stare. - I'll describe the gesture I've seen the best as I can recall but I wont imitate them because I don't want to infuriate God... In fact, I wonder if even talking about them is sinful. Silence looks over goodman Parcel who thinks about it. - Well, as Anne said, this is grave accusations, but if its proving that you are saying the truth, go ahead. - May I be blessed with God's protection before this? Because I think I'll need it. Goodman Parcel offers a blessing the best way he could, reminding Silence that he's no priest, nor Reverend. - Thank you Goodman Parcel. Well, first, I was late at night and I was hidden behind the bushes when I saw Anne going out in her garden and picking up a selection of herbs. Then she returns inside her house, so I snuck up at near a window and I've seen her placing herbs in a pot boiling over the fire and stirs the mix with a long wooden spoon. Nothing that much suspicious there, even thought it was pretty late. At that moment, she began to chant and made very strange gestures over the brew. The chant was in a tongue that I don't understand and she was wavering her fingers and hands in a very precise fashion because she repeated the gesture over and over again. I've felt a tingle in my spine and I left out of fear. Goodman Parcel nods and looks at Silence with a stern look. - My accusation is not an act of pettiness and it is a very serious one.

Belated Happy Birthday, Peredhil! Your good common sense is always a blessing here.

Silence keeps staring at Anne with anger. - I didn't knew, until this morning, that something was wrong with my mother's health. She would have probably have seen the doctor by now if she didn't died like that! If I knew she would have been sick, I would have been looking for help, as she taught me. But I've seen you, doing these weird rituals... It was scary! It is true that I've helped you picking up herbs, but I did seen you doing these weird rituals and chantings and these have nothing to do with what the Reverend taught us.

Celes Crusader arrives at the ball room, dressed in a white taffetas gown with white rabbit fur over a satin suit that covers her from head to toe, leaving only her face exposed. On her head, sits an impressive crown made of platinum and serted with diamonds. Her face is powedered white with very light pink cheecks, lips and eyelids. Tanuchan welcomes her and smiles at her. - Good evening Lady Celes! May I ask what is your disguise. - This is the Queen of Snow disguise, after one of the most gorgeous fairy tale I've heard.

Silence walks out trying to understand what had just happened. Good man Parcel touches Allison's forehead, then looks for a pulse the best way he can and looks at Silence sadly. - I'm sorry Silence... your mother is with God now. The young girl's eyes widens and she runs over Allison's inert body. Then, she grows tearfull and stumbles on her mother's body. Goodman Parcel steps back, wondering about what he can do. Silence raises herself and keeps sobbing although now, she's seems to be trembling in rage. Anne kneels by her and touches Silence's shoulder. The teenager suddenly jerks and bolts away from Anne and decides to seek refuge at Goodman Parcel's side. - Why did you killed my mother, Witch? Anne was surprised at the sudden accusation but Silence continue. - I've seen you picking up herbs in your backyard and doing bizarre chantings. You are the one who killed the Reverend, Goodwife Parcel and my mother! You are the witch! (OOC: A vote against Tanuchan/Anne)

I've always said that RL should be the real priority. I'll shall wait for your return patiently and give you my support.

The joys of the chips world... I decided for comparison sake to display a site where Canadians most common flavors are displayed (in Québec we do also have Sour Cream and Onion chips, from other brands). http://www.lays.ca/en/stores_fav.php The fun of comparison begins.
