Arcaea/Dining Hall Late 08-09/Edara and Jenred's Royal Wedding/Discourse
Sir Karith,
Your skill with the sword is most impressive. Perhaps if you would have the time you might teach me a thing or two. I spend most of my time with a bow and arrow so a blade is relatively foreign to me.
Lady Madelena Rossini Imperial Magistrate of Arcaea, Countess of Orbeh
Sadly a blade is all I know. The skills required for the bow and lance are, for now, beyond me.
I have spent a long time fighting in the dark, enclosed spaces; the deep forests, the stuffy crypts and the squalid basements. Such endeavors increase the skills those situations require. When one faces a horde of angry dead or a pack of feral creatures with naught but steel between you, them and oblivion it hones the baser instincts to a fine point.
I do not proclaim flair, technique, style nor artistry. But I do have the knack of staying alive and if that impresses at such affairs then so be it.
I would be glad and honored to share the things I have learned with the honored guests at this tournament but fear that such things cannot be truly learned unless the cost of failure is an eternity of darkness.
While I am not prideful I understand that my skill is noteable - what I do hope is that fate, lick and the gods may show that skill is not all that is required to survive and that spirit, above all, can win the day.

Greetings and welcome to all! Thank you for joining us on this most wonderful of occasions! The first round of singers are just starting their performances, which will last the rest of the day. If you are interested, they are just beside the first hot pie tent on the southern end of the field.

Greetings and welcome to all! Thank you for joining us on this most wonderful of occasions! The first round of singers are resuming their performance, which will last the rest of the day. If you are interested, they are just beside the first hot pie tent on the southern end of the field.
For those interested in finding me, I will be wandering around the tournament, but leave word at my tent and a servant will be dispatched to find me. The Phoenix Ascendant banner should be visible from anywhere on the field by now.
(OOC My other character is here at the tourney, so you can take it as given that Jenred will see anything, and that I'll see any RP's from those seeking him out. And...Here's the music! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JddRkt_FYDY )

Sir Karith,
In honor of the fact that I have been so highly impressed by your swordsmanship, I have decided to place a bet of 10 gold pieces that you shall become tournament champion. Whilst I of course would prefer to see someone from Arcaea win on home ground, should you be the winner I can safely say that I have hedged my bets. I trust you will not let me down Sir.

Greetings and welcome to all! Thank you for joining us on this most wonderful of occasions! The final round of singing has begun, and the wedding theme itself is to be played for the remainder of the tournament. And, of course, the ceremony itself has begun, and I invite you all to witness!
(OOC My other character is here at the tourney, so you can take it as given that Jenred will see anything, and that I'll see any RP's from those seeking him out. Also, please, don't be afraid to RP! Jenred/Edara and others are doing RP's on their own, but we're happy to respond to other things, and try to set things up with mention of the singers, theater performers, tumblers...And...Here's the music! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAovSXV4GK4 with these alternate lyrics...
Away, away, come away with me where the grass grows wild and the winds blow free Away, away, come away with me and I'll build you a home in the meadow
Come, come, there's a wondrous land for the hopeful heart and the willing hand Come, come, there's a wondrous land where I'll build you a home in the meadow
The stars, the stars, oh how bright they'll shine on a world the lord himself designed The stars, the stars, oh how bright they'll shine on the home we will build in the meadow
Come, come, there's a wondrous land for the hopeful heart and the willing hand Come, come, there's a wondrous land where I'll build you a home in the meadow )
