Victorian Gala Roleplay!

Victorian Gala Roleplay!

A gala is being hosted at the palace. Multiple people will be there, dukes, dutchesses, nobles, entertainers, even the servants who watch with envious eyes as they serve the eleborately dressed guests. Dancers, musicians, singers, all invited to the gala. The king hosted the gala on behalf of his son, Frances, who requested it. He requested it for a much darker reason then to make friends, as he told his father. In a month, the gala will take place. In the gala, will be special people, who most likely don't even realize just how special they are, and the cunning prince has them all in one place. Each person, has a little bit of magic, the magic lost in the medieval times. The prince strives to retrieve the magic, by certain rituals, from these 'special' people.

The magic is minor, shrinked down after being passed from grandchild to grandchild. One with fire could only enlarge or shrink the fire and heat it up. One with water could move liquid across flat surfaces. One with wind could control the wind to a small extent. Some even have speed, hyped senses, or the ability to remain in the shadows, hidden. They may seem minor, but if the prince gets his hand on the magic bearers, who knows what he could do with that power?

Okay! If you join this roleplay, i want you to be dedicated! Don't let it die!! Also, try to write more then a couple paragraphs when you do post. If you don't have time, thats fine, just say so. This also will be slow moving, as NaNoWriMo is going on. Do not feel rushed to post, take your time when writing chapters and all.

Please, no overpowered magic! It is minor! Most people who have it don't know about it, a certain few do.

Alright, here is the charrie form!

Name: 

Age: (at least 16-18)

Magic: (MINOR)

Occupation: (Duke, entertainer [dancer, musician], noble, servant, ect...)

Appearance: 

Personality:

Other:

Alright, also, let's have some boys! Two charries each, one should be a boy. Doesn't have to, but it would be nice. Also, if you have two charries, only one can have element magic, the other has to have the super-power-type-thing.

Here are my charries!

Name: Courtney Bloom

Age: 17

Magic: Speed. It is only slight, but allows her to move impossibly fast and gracefully.

Occupation: Entertainer; Dancer. Why she has speed.

Appearance: She has long, brown hair and big eyes that match the rich, chocolaty color. She's tall and slender, muscular after her years of dancing, even though she looks delicate. She has an impossibly straight nose, different then her soft features, and delicate, but high, cheekbones. 

Personality: Stubborn and determined. She will turn one direction and won't stop walking that way until someone convinces her otherwise, which is a rare thing. She is a talkable girl, something looked down upon in this era, and very outgoing. She's adventurous and is always looking for a little mischeif!

Other: Her mom was a dancer. And she is a common folk, but her dancing skills gain her a bit of money, and she uses it wisely.

Name: Alaxandre Taime

Age: 18

Magic: Earth. He can basically telepathically move a bit of dirt of pebbles, and can has a way with herbs.

Occupation: Kitchen servant. His power helps with the cooking!

Appearance: He has a large forehead, placed above his shining green eyes and broad grin. His knotty black hair hangs down to his chin. He has a dark tan complexion, matching his tall figure. He never worked anywhere else but the kitchen, so his arms and legs are only strong from constant walking and stirring of stew.

Other: He knows about his power.

So there you have it! Someone else can have earth magic too, but vary it a little. Like, make it the ability to bloom flowers? Something cool like that XD.

Begin!

Yay, I'm glad the pictures showed up! And you're right Cho, to tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure what what Victorian dresses look like, so I just looked them up online. I couldn't find anything else that was "modest" and these dresses are basically supposed to be "Victorian wedding dresses" so that's kind of why they appear that way.

Alexandre~

I am thrilled! I just got a promotion!

I now get the priveledge of overseeing the dinner, making sure glasses are filled, dishes are full, and food is on time. I had no idea the chef would promote me to this position when he prefers to have me in the kitchen.

I smile and walk by a pot of soup, stopping and sprinkling in some garlic before moving on. I finally find the head chef, working on some fried shrimp for tonight. He smiles and wwaves me over, obviously in a bad mood. Lucky for me, because in a bad mood everything is evil in his eyes. 

"Alexandre, tonight shall be your first night tonight, no? Most of the entertainers shall be arriving throughout the day, so tonight we shall have our first feast with the guests. Sam explained the job to you, no?" He says, flipping the shrimp in the greasy pan.

"Yes. I quite understand what to do by now," I grin. I had spent the morning listening to Sam, the old overseer, explain what I was supposed to do.

Not only would I be able to see how much the people enjoyed our food, something I had always looked forward to, but nowI get the oppurtunity to watch the entertainers. Music, laughter, dancing, and the wonderful smell of the food!

But that also means I need a change of clothes, something different then the stained shirt and pants I wear. Something nice and affordable, so I would have to use my savings to buy it. Luckily, the shirt comes with the job. It certifies my position. Shoes and pants are still a problem, however, and I hope I can afford them.

Courtney~

I scamper to the front of the wagon, holding my breath at the sight of the palace. I had seen it once before, but now I would get to enter it! That alone completely changed the prospect. 

Elaborately decorated grey towers seemingly grow out of the ground with an impowering feel to them. They had white trim arond the windows and along the curved edges. The main part of the palace stood, though not near the height of the towers, it made up in it's size. It spread what seemed to be forever, and I imagined it could cover more then ten of my home village!

The grey gave the palace and dull feel, but the white brightened it, curving this way and that in a symmetrical order, each tower and side simmilar. The gate was huge, leading into the courtyard and out-growing even that of the city wall, which I could not have reached if standing upon a girrafe's head!

I laughed and almost fell out of the cart as we hit a bump.

"This is amazing!" I squealed, gripping the cart's wooden edge as to not fall off.

~Soldana~

I sketch out the Queen's delicate contours on my canvas. She gazes at me imperiously and holds her pose. I finish the sketch and dip a fine paintbrush in a pot of paint. I begin to paint the background, carefully filling in the shading. I keep my face expressionless as I paint. I soon finish and move on to the Queen. I choose a finer brush and carefully wipe the other one and put it away. I observe the queen, selecting an auburn color that I had mixed earlier for her hair. I subtly mix it to accomodate the shading in her hair, painting the lightest parts first. I have always loved painting.

I brush the final stroke with a triumphant swish and step back to observe my work. It may be my best painting yet. My eyes suddenly blur and when they clear, paint that should've been wet is now dry. Strange... I dismiss it and turn to show the Queen my work. She claps her hands delightedly and summons a servant to carry it away to be framed. I pack up my art supplies and The Queen dismisses me.

Paris~

When I enter the fitting room, my mother isn't there.

"Where is my mother?" I ask the dress fitter, stepping on the platform. 

"She is off getting her portrait painted. She said to just start without her."

The dress fitter hands me a satin red dress. I put it on, the dress fitter helping tie the back up. Just after we're finished, my mother struts in, her auburn hair held neatly in a bun. She examines the red dress, and shakes her head.

"Put her in something blue. It compliments her eyes."

And with that, I am ushered back to the dressing room with a silk blue dress piled in my arms.

The dress is a nice blue, with flowey sleeves and skirt, lace trim, and a white ribbon around the waist.

" Perfect."

Hey, guys? As of the moment, I'm a bit confused. Is the present time the day of the gala, or the day before?

Definitely the day before.

submitted by Scylla
(November 26, 2015 - 3:17 pm)

Probably a few weeks before, so the entertainers can prepare and all. But let's skip to the day before.
