OPEN POST: THE ANNIVERSARY

[gentleidealist]

THE ANNIVERSARY

[It's been exactly two years since Mithos took over Paradisa. That's two years of delightful massacres, scaring people into the Dead Zone, and manipulating former friends with the ageless face of a Kharlan hero. Two years of your character struggling to hold onto life as they know it while under the shadow of a fearsome ruler from another world. Two years of scraping to get by, cowering in the Dead Zone, waiting for a chance to go home or a death that Paradisa can't-- won't-- give.

There is nothing planned for today, though there are a few whimsical sort of changes that Mithos called for. The angels are on security detail as usual, policing the grounds; however, Mithos and his closest subordinates may be stepping outside. There is a grand feast set up in the ballroom... but angels don't eat, so it's really just for show. The place has the air of a graveyard party where even the dead decide not to attend.

There is an undercurrent of anxiety tonight, a breath held in anticipation. Something is about to happen, and even the insects are quiet.]

[ooc: HUGE OPEN MINGLING POST for characters who either reside in the castle as angelic little zombies, or people who are returning for whatever reason. Please don't threadjack something without notifying the muns in advance!

You are free to make your own sections if you'd like and I'll add them to this post :)]

[ Yes, it is happening. She stands before him, hand resting on the top of his head. His fur is soft and warm, she thinks, softer and warmer than she thought it'd be. ]

You must swear that you will be brace and just in everything you do, swear your will protect the young and the innocent ─ women and children, swear you will punish the wicked and any who do harm to the charges I place before you. In the name of the Warrior, the Father, the Mother, and the Maid swear you will be a knight true and will never falter.

[His fur is ridiculously soft, it's really a shame he doesn't tolerate petting. People are missing out. Still, he knows how this goes. The words are different, but the vow is the same]

I swear it.

[wolfchild]

[ Whispered to Zelos: ] What are we supposed to do?

[wilder]

[Aw man, he was good with being an inanimate object. Fine, he'll go along with it because Arya seems into it and he whispers back:]

Nothing. Just serve as witnesses.

[wolfchild]

We just...witness?





That is really dull.

[wilder]

[he snorts]

Yep. Just be glad this isn't a full ceremony.

[draca]

By my power as Queen I name you Ser Bunnymund of Australia. [ She lowers herself down to his level, hands gently gripping either side of his shoulders. ]

You may rise good ser.

[wolfchild]

[ And here be Arya and Zelos the Chair. Witnessing. ]

Is it done now? [ Awesome. Because she'll just be scurrying down now to lie on the cave floor and put her head in Zelos' lap. ] Pet my hair.

[wilder]

[He makes a small amused noise as he starts petting her hair] As you wish, my little wolf.

[Glancing over at Bunny] Congratulations.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He'll stand, offering her a smile]

Well, a ser. How's that for fancy.

[draca]

[ Dany grins with an almost child like warmth. ]

It is quite fancy, children oft dream of becoming knights.

[wolfchild]

My brother wanted to be one. He wanted to be a member of the Kingsguard and wear the white cloak.

[wilder]

Pretty popular dream in Tethe'alla too. We were never short on aspiring recruits.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I wanted to be part of the Brotherhood, when I was an ankle biter, and I got that, so I can understand.

[It meant he could be on a mission when his entire planet was destroyed, weeeee]
