Azu would have gotten dressed nicely again, Nameless has been following Nigel around instead of her already while they were on the trip and continues to do so now.

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 10:44:00 PM)
(*kicks*)*Faith woudl be wearing her courtly dress as before,sighing rather heavily..She had been unable to speak with Nigel then again she had not really tried that hard*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 10:44:03 PM)
*Nigel again suited up in the finest suit he had, ensuring there were no strings or bits of cotton attached. Lotus Pedal was going to be ANGRY to be left back in New Orleans. There was no chance of having her in the court, though. Cute as she was, it was not the place.*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 10:45:10 PM)
*Willow's Heart was by far the brightest point in the city tonight, a beacon calling the local fae and the visitors to court. The lower levels had been empited out of mundanes and many small groups of kithain were heading into the elevators*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 10:46:00 PM)
She followed along after the sidhe, being a good little commoner. Nameless of course kept place at Nigel's side, looking more magestic than lazy today, head raised as if proud.

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 10:46:02 PM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 174.253.99.208)

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 10:47:20 PM)
*Nigel strode about with almost more confidence than before. He could do this; playing the game, looking like a real noble rather than just a Sidhe. Impressions left were high last time, so the tension wouldn't be so bad.*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 10:48:42 PM)
*The old troll guard held his usual post in the penthouse level, checking weapons as well as taking coats or ushering lesser retainers to other parts of the freehold for the duration of court. He offered the group a smile as he went about his business*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 10:50:24 PM)
*The white-haired Sidhe offered a low nod in respect to the dutiful Troll, and took an extra step forward, as though to silently indicate he was unarmed.*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 10:50:28 PM)
She waved to the troll after the other two had been taken care of, smiling and handing over her knife same as before.

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 10:53:14 PM)
*Ageiir motioned for them to go ahead once the weapon check was complete*Please follow the procession into the grand hall. You'll await your introduction from the steward and then find your seats. I believe you've been set up in the fifth row, next to your companions.(wb Faith)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 10:54:49 PM)
She nodded and waited to follow the sidhe as per the usual for Azu, looking around curiously as they walked, it was the largest court she'd been to for sometime, and likely the largest she would see for a long time again.

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 10:56:21 PM)
*Faith would let Nigel lead them to where the seats were located,she felt he had a better grasp of court than she anyway..As she looked around still in awe of the place*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 10:56:33 PM)
"Thank you" *Nigel said simply, and led on. Sighing as though to relax, he rolled his small shoulders back and stood very straight, dignified and regal.*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 10:57:48 PM)
*Pointy ears and house colors were everywhere. Mostly the Eiluned and Gwydion banners were flying, but a few others stood out in the sea of black and silver. At least one representative of each house was in attendence. They all filed into the grand hall one by one as their introductions were called out over the din of pre court conversation. Eventually it was there turn and the steward, a rosy cheecked boggan called out their names and a portion of the crowd turned to look at them. Waving from their seats in the fifth row was Calvin and Gordy*

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 10:58:24 PM)
*it was then that something dawned on Faith as a smile crossed her face..This was no different than having tea with the High Society woman back home,at least in some semblance it wasnt that alone made her feel better*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:00:17 PM)
*Nigel would recognize a few faces among the crowd, knights and squires of the house from all over the kingdom. Baron Luther of Pale Moon was present, and at his side was Duchess Lisette Levay*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 11:00:54 PM)
She waved at Calvin and Gordy lightly when they got closer, smiling a bit toward them and following the sidhe along to take her seat.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:01:10 PM)
*Nigel couldn't help but grin at the mention of his name. Time to put on the show! Noticing a few friendly faces, he nodded in greeting as he passed. He walked with purpose to the seats assigned and sat down rather slowly.

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:02:41 PM)
*The Fiona rep was a grizzled old warrior who had refused court finery in favor of his armor bearing the house device, and while dented in various spots, was polished to a fine sheen. He watched Faith for a moment, a thoughtful look on his face....perhaps he had met her once? Memory was an odd thing for the Sidhe*

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:06:35 PM)
*Faith finally saw someone that represented her House and thought.."um okay' as she gave the man a polite nod of her head none the less.At least his armor was well shinned ,but she felt as if she had knowned him he did seem familar as she too reflected the same thoughtful look as she looked at him.She managed to follow the others to there desginated seats but she could ot shake that feeling*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:06:40 PM)
*Seats were filling up quickly, and it soon became apparent that fifth row held some importance. The rows behind them were filling mostly with commoners, but a Sidhe was in the back here and there. Apparently the rows were arranged in order of import as it pertained to the evening itself*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:08:13 PM)
*Up on the dias was the same scribe who had taken down their last meeting with Meilge, as well as the Gwydion Chancellor who had found the truth in their words. For the moment, the throne was empty*

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:08:59 PM)
*Faith leand close to Nigel,speaking softly*Had you heard word of anything from anyone.Cause I have not..

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:11:07 PM)
*Calvin looked over at Azu*I gotta tell you, I'm impressed. This court isn't called together that often these days, so you must have made a fine showing.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:11:11 PM)
((How many rows are there total?

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:12:09 PM)
(Each rowing having 10 seats)

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:12:18 PM)
*Nigel smiled at various folks as they met eyes, and he leaned over to Faith, whispering:* "Nothing yet, but based on our seating, this is going to be considered very seriously. Dee and Roy may get their due justice."

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:13:04 PM)
*That made her smile even more,still leaning close to Nigel speaking with him*Good they deserve what they get,let us hope this is the case though..

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 11:13:21 PM)
She blushed a bit at Calvin. "We are just doing what we can Mister Calvin, it's needed for our city."

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:13:43 PM)
*The front row held the Eiluned, while the second was made up of Gwydion. Every other row was varied. The balcony was also filling up, but only commoners held those seats*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:14:19 PM)
"I'm confident. We're but lowly Squires and yet still sit so close to the King. It's exciting!" *He leaned a little to get a better look at his House members*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:15:33 PM)
*Levay and Luther were speaking quietly to each other, while the knights and squires talked amongst themselves. Both the Baron and Duchess held serious looks, while the others seemed to be lightheartedly dicussing their current exploits*

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:15:55 PM)
*slight nod of her head*..I wish I had your confidence*said with a small smile as she moved away from him,seeing as how he was lenaing to get a better look at his House memebers..Faith took that as oppurtunity to do the same as she looked to the Grizzly looking man that seemed so familar*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 11:16:15 PM)
Azu was keeping an eye on things in general, looking impressed wasn't that difficult really with all the shine in the room.

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:17:50 PM)
*The Fiona rep whispered something to the troll that sat next to him, who then stood and strolled toward Faith. When he neared her seat he bowed his head*Good evening, miss. When court wraps up my liege would like a word with you. He will await you in the upper garden.

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:20:07 PM)
*Faith was watching the man when he leaned over and whispered to the troll whom she watched stroll over towards her when he did..She looked up at him with a pleasnat smile*Thank you, please inform hm I will be there post haste after court*giving the Troll a polite nod and smile,as she looked back to the Fiona rep giving him a nod of her head*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:20:37 PM)
*Nigel raised his eyebrows at Faith, obviously very happy for her.*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:21:42 PM)
*The troll returned to his seat, while the old Fiona nodded in kind. Just as the troll sat, a single crisp horn blare announced the start of court. Meilge strolled in from a side room and moved toward the throne. The second he entered the room, everyone in attendance stood*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:22:11 PM)
*Nigel stood immediately, back straight and chin held aloft.*

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:22:18 PM)
*she turned her head to look at Nigel,and gave him a very slight nudge with her elbow along with a smile..But as soon as she heard the horn blare she stood*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 11:23:10 PM)
She of course stood as well, lots of rememberance helped it be a natural reaction more than a scramble to her feet. Though her head was down instead of up, respectful.

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:27:10 PM)
*The King stopped before the throne and unfurled a scroll, reading it aloud before his court*The Sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights -- the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn. And a king of great sense and sagacity would want no others*Those words carried the weight of the Dreaming, and as he spoke, Protocol settled over the court. When he was finished, he set the scroll aside and took his seat. Once he had settled in, the others began to retake their seats*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 11:28:31 PM)
She waited to sit after the other sidhe were seated.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:30:17 PM)
*NIgel waited until The King was in his seat before sitting slowly, eyes firmly placed on the aged ruler with focus.*

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:30:43 PM)
*As soon as the King had taken his seat along with a few others,Faith retook her seat laying her hands on her lap as her attention was souly on the King himself*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:35:45 PM)
We have much to dicusss this evening, and those of you who need to speak on such subjects shall have your turn to do so. We have many visitors tonight and their concerns are no more or less important than our own local issues. First, I would thank you all for attending on such short notice. It does not escape my attention the loyalty you all show in dropping personal matters to be here. That said, let us start with matters close to home. Baron Luther, if you would rise and tell us of your work*He motioned for the other Eiluned to stand, and he did so. Taking the speakers podium just below the dias, the white haired Eiluned smiled to the court*

Court of Willows (Mar 28, 2011 11:36:57 PM)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 11:38:51 PM)
She observed curiously.

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:39:43 PM)
*Faith's attention was drawn to the Baron as she would listen to him speak*

Baron Luther ap Eiluned (Mar 28, 2011 11:41:24 PM)
Some of you are already aware of what my Freehold has been doing, so forgive me as I must repeat myself for those who do not. For nearly a decade now, the scourge of Dreamsbane has caused havoc in our kingdom. Some of you in this very room has seen the effects of this terrible drug firsthand. It has been the duty of Pale Moon to find a counteragent to this poison, and our finest sages have been hard at work many a sleepless night. I am pleased to report that we are very close to a successful compound, but at this time do not feel confident in human trials. Be that as it may, we will not spare a moment in this task and we expect to see such trials start within the next month.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:41:32 PM)
*Nigel focused his attention on his house bretheren.*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:42:33 PM)
*He frowned a little at the troubles they were having ((Does any of that sound familiar?))

Baron Luther ap Eiluned (Mar 28, 2011 11:42:40 PM)
*There was a mixed response from the crowd. Some clapped and seemed hopeful, while others looked smug, like they'd heard this report before*

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:43:25 PM)
*it was then that Faith looked at Nigel rather curiously,but quickly turned her attention back to the speaker*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 11:43:54 PM)
A small frown as well, trying to place anything she knew of the topic as she listened.

Baron Luther ap Eiluned (Mar 28, 2011 11:44:32 PM)
(It hasn't been a problem in NO, but you'd mostly likely have heard of Dreamsbane as it's been throughout most of the kingdom. Essentially it's a drug that quickly plunges kithain into bedlam, the more you take, the more bedlam symptoms you aquire until nightmare chimera start escaping your head)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 11:44:56 PM)
(wow, nice stuff)

Baron Luther ap Eiluned (Mar 28, 2011 11:49:05 PM)
Our studies have also shown an effect of the drug that was not previously common knowledge. Apart from the insanity it produces, we have also found that those subject to the drug became highly suggestible, to the point of harming themselves or others. At this time we have only been able to ween those afflicted off the drug, but that is a difficult process as their glamour becomes infused with the stuff. Should you need to get someone off it, please speak with me after court and I will provide you with the methods we have found most successful.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 28, 2011 11:49:35 PM)
(afk a few, I'll be back)

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:49:57 PM)
((Azu nods, frowns, smiles and agrees.))

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:51:00 PM)
*Faith could not help but cringe a bit as the Baron spoke of this drug,side glancing at Nigel for a second*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:51:54 PM)
*Nigel touched his chin in curiosity, though resisted the urge to blather out questions and suggestions to the court. He frowned in contemplation*

Baron Luther ap Eiluned (Mar 28, 2011 11:53:52 PM)
*Meilge nodded to the Baron and he stepped down, returning to his seat*Next we will hear from Duchess Levay, as she also has a hand in bringing this problem to an end*Levay stood and took the podium with a somber look*Together with Baron Luther, I have been working on this problem. While I do not have the talented staff that he does, I have turned my efforts toward stopping those who make and move this poison. Through my influences among the mundane I have been able to catch some of the smaller fish in the operation, but they would say nothing of those higher up than themselves. All those involved have had a Ban placed on them, preventing them from giving anyone up....I assume on pain of death....or perhaps worse. These criminals have been dealt with by the court and I continue my search.

Faith King (Mar 28, 2011 11:55:53 PM)
*Faith could not help but frown at the Duchess' words even if they were not of the same House,it did not matter situations like that did not discriminate*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 28, 2011 11:57:06 PM)
*Nigel nodded as though understanding the plights. Bans were terrifyingly powerful things that could really make for trouble when used in ways such as these. They'll find them eventually!*
