[Day 5 - MA] The Duke

[Dapper Dog]

“Make an appointment with my office, and if you’re done playing terrorist we might find time for you,” she said flatly.

[Delmi Koor]

“I’m sure the Lady of House Rist understands there are times that what is presented to the public is not always the truest depiction of reality. I don’t play at things… I’m a serious woman. And definitely not a terrorist.”

She bowed politely, “I promise you’ll be interested in what I have to share.”

[Baesal Zyn]

Baesal entered this section of the deck wearing the red dress she had been wearing during the suitor's presentation.

She was quite pleased to see the Duke present

"Your lordship" she said with a smile "I am glad to see you here"

[Zeno Thul]

Zeno did not interfere, but did listen.

[Dapper Dog]

Baesal entered this section of the deck wearing the red dress she had been wearing during the suitor's presentation.

She was quite pleased to see the Duke present

"Your lordship" she said with a smile "I am glad to see you here"

"Master Jedi," he responded.

[Dapper Dog]

“I’m sure the Lady of House Rist understands there are times that what is presented to the public is not always the truest depiction of reality. I don’t play at things… I’m a serious woman. And definitely not a terrorist.”

She bowed politely, “I promise you’ll be interested in what I have to share.”

She gestured for her entourage to move into a room with her and said, “You have five minutes. Don’t waste my kriffing time.”

[Delmi Koor]

“Can our guards wait outside? I’m not armed.” She held her hands up to make the point which was already obvious.

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Charm check at Daunting with a setback due to current rumors for Delmi.

[Baesal Zyn]

"Master Jedi," he responded.

''Please, call me Baesal.'' she replied with a smile ''I must first apologize for the inconvenient rumors that came around last night. I seems our communications have been compromised. Good news is they revealed their hand earlier then expected.''

[Dapper Dog]

“I don’t follow rumors, master Jedi,” he responded.

[Delmi Koor]

Delmi seemed rather earnest despite all the lingering doubt…

D5 Boat Charm Duchess, Destiny: 2eP+1eA+4eD+1eS 3 successes, 3 threat


D5 Boat Charm Duchess, Reroll Yellow with ADV and Sux: 1eP 2 successes


4 Successes, 4 Threat. Hoping for anything besides Bryson coming in too.

[Dapper Dog]

She agreed and motioned Bryson in with her, “Five minutes.” The others stayed outside.

OOC: Threat was too obvious.

[Delmi Koor]

Delmi internally groaned as Bryson accompanied the Duchess in to the room. Her mind raced as she tried to figure out the proper approach for a woman who obviously had no reason to trust her over her terrorist aide.

“Look… I got nothing but honesty for you. Those videos of me were fabricated. The data given to House Panteer about some Thul plot… also fabricated. SIS and Thul analysis points to someone in your house creating one or both.”

She shrugged slightly, “I don’t take you as the ‘starting a civil war’ type. So my best guess was it’s not you… So I went in search of who it might be. Followed that trail of my mom. Turns out… she’s a part of a terrorist organization along with your sister who went dark 8 years ago. We chased her down. Apprehended her. Extracted some information from her. Turns out there is a mole… and he’s standing right there.” She pointed to Bryson.

“Maybe I’m full of shit. Maybe my mom is. But if we’re not… then that’s a security threat for y’all. Run your own checks… Do whatever you have to do. But I gotta let you in on what we know… because hey… worst case scenario you completely ignore me and their little plot gets to go off without a hitch. Same thing happens if I say nothing.”

[Dapper Dog]

Giandra listened and her face became more and more incredulous. She glanced at Bryson and then back to Delmi, it was easy to see who she trusted more. Finally she said, “I don’t have time for this.”

“I’ll take your… accusation under advisement.”

She and her people departed.

[Delmi Koor]

Delmi stood in the room for a few moments and let out a sigh.

Well… I kicked the mynock nest again at least. We’ll see what little Bry-bry does with that info…

Delmi emerged from the room and back out onto the floor.

[Zeno Thul]

Delmi stood in the room for a few moments and let out a sigh.

Well… I kicked the mynock nest again at least. We’ll see what little Bry-bry does with that info…

Delmi emerged from the room and back out onto the floor.

Approaching again, he smiles at Delmi. "I got the impression that he didn't want to remember you. He'd be a terrible member of the family if he couldn't remember someone that he met with the Dutchess in a private meeting."

[Delmi Koor]

“Everyone’s got their reasons…” She replied.

“Some folks’ reasons are worse than other's though…”

[Zeno Thul]

"Hope he didn't hurt your feelings with that too much. If he did you could claim insult, declare a personal vendetta and hire his own family to kill him," he suggests, raising an eyebrow and smiling at the ridiculous idea.

[Delmi Koor]

“Someone like me doesn’t have ‘feelings’ to be hurt Duke-Consort. I have very little concern for what others think of me.” She replied.

[Zeno Thul]

"That's the crazy thing about politics. You meet plenty of people with thick skin and no care for what most people think of them. But at the most inopportune times for their opponents they somehow become insulted," Zeno responds.

"So, have you figured out anything about the cinematographer that gave you a starring role? Not sure how much I can help, but I expect I won't have babysitters too much longer."
