Liridona Amador is very proud of her ward! She prepares to take her children, as well as her nieces and nephews, to the dog races :)

Bandits hate me and my 72 soulbind tokens

The Lady Chamberlain eagerly awaits any inquries :)

Liridona rocked back and forth, as her children played on the floor before her; save for her youngest boy, who was still swaddled in her arms. With a heavy sigh, she spoke to her sons: "Vyr hauch-aedymamej was ein very strong.. ein very wonderful person... Vy are all of her blood." The Amador woman muttered a quick prayer under her breath for her late aunt-in-law, before standing up and seeking to find her husband, to console him if need be. Tiny Ivonne Emerentia still did not understand... she had only lost her mother and brother but two saint's days ago; what happened to her grandmother? The sweet Stafyr girl took to her room once more and cried, begging GOD that he would take care of her grandmother.

Liridona Amador thought back to her younger years. Back to when she, back in the ruins of Savoy, walked a cousin even more timid than herself down the aisle. Oh, how times were so much simpler back then. She prayed for the souls of her dear kin and Feodora's child, before moving on to put her youngest son to nap. Meanwhile, wee Ivonne Stafyr stared up at her father in confusion. Such a young girl hardly even understood the situation at hand. "What do vy mean... mamej is niet coming home? What about Leo? He promised to play with mea once he was back!" And so, the tiny girl ran up to her room and allowed the door to slam behind her... before crying. How unfair life was to her mother and eldest brother.

The irony of this situation genuinely does baffle me. Why should we debate people's ooc comfort and safety? Even if there was no slur used, the fact that people in your situation were uncomfortable and recieved NO sympathy from the other party or staff baffles me. OOC comfort should never be dismissed in favor of "tasteful roleplay"

Can we have the auction house back.... that's like the only thing I can think of off the top of my head because everyone else has made the important stuff, but would personally like to see back on the server

Have you never been OOC targeted before

It always gives me an ick when there is color-based racism on a roleplay server. While obviously these characters are all made up, I'm sure most (if not all) of us can admit that all of our characters have reflected our true selves in some way, even if it is just a little bit. Even my characters' racist biases have been obtained through character development that was roleplayed out, and none of it has ever been color-based. Just a weird thing to be discriminatory about when racism is such a prevelent international issue oocly, and there are a lot of made up things (i.g. ear shape, magic, etc.) that don't reflect sensitive, real issues.

Liridona Amador is concerned for her brother in law's family. She quickly begins penning a letter to Aleksandr to check on him, although is soon interrupted by her youngest son's wails.

"....The ****? When the hell did this happen?" Juniper asked her wife ( @Apotolofo) upon hearing the news! Either way, she mentally prepared herself to attend such a large event... It was for her friend, after all!

Tbh I don't mind the name change, but the forced censorship seems a little iffy to me... Just my two cents, this stuff isn't necessarily my forte so I don't have much of an opinion outside of this

“You are mad, yes?” A thought- no, a voice that infiltrated her head. She tried to get rid of it, just as she had with the other voices. “What…- what are you doing…?” “Helping you.” She hated the voices. Every time there was a voice within her head, nothing good came from it. And yet, this one offered to help her. What irony came next. “I want us to kill Scrisa.” That pathetic wretch froze at such an idea. “Kill.. her…?-” “All this, Lily, is to survive. Otherwise, she’ll kill you, eventually.” Oh, and didn’t she try. This is what she wanted… Isn’t it? A scream echoed through Lurin- as the Princess and her Consort fell from the aviary, tumbling into the waters below…. A knife in Juniper’s hand. She failed. With the intervention of Haus, she was removed from Scrisa and brought safely out of the canals. Onlookers watched in disbelief. “Mom, why did you…” Her daughter stared on in horror. “Why did you try to stab Scrisa…?” - “We need to keep her from hurting others or herself, first.” Haus later chimed in. After that attempt on her own spouse’s wife, she had the briefest moment of clarity. “What… have I done?” Asked she, to herself. “I don’t…- want to.. Hurt them…” And naught but a few hours after that realization did she pack what few belongings she deemed necessary, pen a note to that same wife she had tried to assassinate, And run. She ran for so long. With her only company being that of a tiny green dragon, she took herself as far as she could go until her lungs burned and her legs shook with exhaustion. But, unfortunately for her, the voices followed suit, still whispering in their ear. “Why do you think of yourself as Juniper? You are Lily.”

Upon finding one of these posters, Juniper quickly sought to crumple her copy into a ball and throw it into the ocean... before once again disappearing into the shadows of the wilderness...

". . . The ****?" A Lurinite princess blurted aloud to herself.

Upon recieving a copy of the missive, Juniper frowned. She worried for her dear student and friend, Haus... "If they lay a finger on his head, I'll gut them all.." She muttered to herself, quickly discarding the paper into the canals of Lurin.

Juniper Rose is horrified. Liridona Amador is horrified. Ilaria Amador-Varoche is horrified, and also considers retiring...

Wee Ivonne Emerentia makes grabby hands at the missive. However, her attention is quickly diverted by one of her stuffed toys.

Juniper squinted upon reading her sign, abundance. "Inclination towards luck?" She parroted to herself.
