Re: General OOC Chatter Thread

[Baelon Drakeson]

You say fickle, I say confused and easily led.

I say those things aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm sure you would object to me calling IC Baelon fickle because he has been intimate with several women (more than Corrine has done), but that's my perception.

Ah, but Baelon has never (intentionally) led them on emotionally. If they fall in love with him... that was never his intent.

Corrine doesn't know who she wants, and perhaps hasn't quite caught on about how the giving of favors is meant to work.

That doesn't make her a bad person. Just a confused teenager.

She's learning lessons now that people really need to learn 2 or 3 years beforehand.

Yup yup, completely agree with this. Still fickle.
Poor girl, over-sheltered. Tsk tsk Lady Isobel, see what you've done?

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Fickle implies doing it intentionally or without care for the consequences, which is not Corrine at all. Simple as that.

And it's not like she intended to develop feelings for Athelstan, and she didn't intend for him to fall for her either, so I don't think you are fair in saying she's leading anyone on emotionally. She's being honest to everyone involved. So I don't think your distinction with Baelon is valid.

[Theomore Tullison]

So you're saying that she's a natural talent that does it without planning ahead?

You may be right, I may be overstating things. It began as a joke, but seems to have outlived what little humor value it had.
Pardon me while I find a flamethro-, er dragon. Then I will kill it with fire.

Exactly. It's like the Curse Of Venus flaw in Ars Magica. Love happens to her in inconvenient ways.

[Theomore Tullison]

Corrie ought to take a page from Theo's book, drop the thing about falling in love, leave that to them.

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Well, that happens too and inconveniences her, hehe. She's far too idealistic to be closed with people.

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Good grief, choosing a song for the contest was bloody hard. So many candidates!

[Dyana Marsten]

Well, at least I'm glad Dyana is not on the rumors. I hate gossip!

[Ser Jorah Holt]

Well, at least I'm glad Dyana is not on the rumors. I hate gossip!

at least not yet. After today's jousts, I imagine there will be rumours about the mystery knights

[Loreia]

Speaking of rumors...

The night is long,
and the path is dark.
Look to the sky...
For one day soon the dawn will come.

And full of terrors... I've played Inquisition, but in this setting, that could easily be taken as sympathetic to the Lord of Light. Reader may just snap his fingers and hand-wave it though...sigh

[Reader]

Loreia - well pointed out, and as that ties in to one of the existing Day 5 Gwyn rumours... Pasting rumours in to my spreadsheet now, so should catch more. PM and post in here with rumour fodder you gossiping fishwives!

"
Hail Ser Holt!"
Dunstan was in a visibly good mood.

"
Sit down please, I was just telling the lads how I almost unhorsed the legendary Ser Garibald the Grey! Oh it was quite a match!"
, some might even find the young Lord's enthusiasm annoying.

"
How did you go?"

Also, much love for Dunstan (my emphasis above).

[Dunstan Tullison]

Thanks

Question of ransom, I don't have a bunch of money on me in my personal equipment but, being a Lord, there has to be some coffers I could dip into - right?

[Reader]

Indeed, that's why it's good to be the boss. Please note it on your house resources thread

[Gwyneth Drakeson]

In fairness, that song Gwyn sang was (in my purely invented canon) a traditional song dating back to the Long Night...it's lyrics aren't related to R'hallor worship.

That said, people are people, and gossip is gossip. Hee hee!

In my theory crafting canon Long Night is definitely related to R'hllor and Azor Ahai... but that's that, theory crafting

On its own, that's a true defence of the song.

But when did the truth ever help anyone?

Sadly/amusingly, it links in to a rumour that goes live on Day 5, so it has a lower bar to clear than normal.

[Gwyneth Drakeson]

Nah, it's cool! I don't mind at all!

[Ser Fendrel Bartheld]

Nah, it's cool! I don't mind at all!

There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about

Well, when you write a whole book of quotations, it is a possible consequence

Dunstan joined the chants.

"
Aye, and Ser Jorah follows the Seven, we ,met in the Sept before! He would make a fine white cloak indeed!"

that may get a rumour going

[Reader]

Rumour? That undersells it. This is how plot seeds develop my man! You've defeated a future member of the Queensguard.

Someone bookmark this so we can link back to it when Ser Jorah gets his white cloak. I'll remind everyone that the kingsguard is also a good way of getting rid of rival suitors/heirs, should a vacancy ever appear.

Dorothy is a legend.

Sadly, I don't think my current character is quite worldly enough to pull of that sort of wit. Maybe when/if she gets old enough.
