PLAYER: Elle
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Yes! Feel free to add me at moonstones.
WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Y'all I am not a final girl. But Rizzy used to play Clementine and she'd probably tell me to climb up something v high with my old lady and hope for the best.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Emilia di Carlo | Kingdom of the Wicked
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Star witch and future queen of the underworld seeks to avenge beloved twin sister and protect the mortal realm by way of conquering said underworld and its demon princes. It's complicated.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? I think I'd just like to continue having Emilia come into her power and further integrate her with the group/plot/adventures. She's learning there's a gnarly curse on her that's stripped her of memories and leashed some of her greater abilities. She'll be determined to find a way to break that when things aren't on fire.

If they're ever not on fire. So maybe never.

Maybe something useful actually coming out of her infuriating role for Vannozza?

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods?
This is probably not a fair fight when you're a witch with spells.

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance?
She unflinchingly and witheringly stares back until they look away, and probably continues to see what it is the baby needs. She'd be very concerned and looking to make it better/soothe them.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffee is?
Emilia would probably be the one selling the coffee - an espresso to serve alongside some dessert.

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC):
1. In some ways, Taravast is kind of her training wheel. Anything that she can learn to help her later navigate the Seven Circles would be much appreciated tbqh. People to work alongside, whether they do so well or not.
2. People she can feed. She's had (limited) kitchen access and befriended the staff.
3. Maybe someone she can finally talk to about Vittoria, but it's tough because she's so private and not fully acknowledging her grief. Taravast makes that easy when so much is happening all the time, and she's a very decisive/hands-on person who likes to keep moving so she doesn't have to process. It would be a slow burn/need to happen organically if it does.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? Witchy things, including fire power for all this undead/Attaryl stuff. Sicilian food. Information she keeps collecting like pokemon. An extremely alarming temper (the books call it fury made flesh) when activated. Bride of Satan jokes.

[lancifolium]

We NEED sister sadness

[valeas]

WE DO

especially since

you know

[downswing]

Okay, but.

[valeas]

👀

[downswing]

One day, they need to talk about marrying demons, literal or otherwise. Start a club.

[valeas]

I think when I first joined I joked about them getting a little tipsy on wine together somehow and now more than ever, I really do want that to happen. Think of all they might actually say.

[downswing]

They have so much delicious tension, though, this could get explosive.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THEM TO BE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AT EACH OTHER AGAIN

[valeas]

LMAO THEIRS WILL BE A CLUB THAT NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO JOIN





understandably

[notsansa]

Two overly private girls who suck at talking about their tragedy. Make for some excellently awkward silences, let's do it. Or even having Sansa witness her lose her shit on somebody (hopefully not Sansa, but this could also happen!). Also I am here for the bad bride jokes, yes please.

[valeas]

I love Sansa way, way too much not to seize this CR opportunity. Dark fantasy princesses must unite. I can 10000% see Emilia losing her shit on somebody on Sansa's behalf tbqh. We should keep that in our pockets.

And also wolves!! Emilia has been helping Diego with some of his pups.

(And always bad bride jokes.)

[notsansa]

Emilia losing her shit would be a popcorn worthy event I'm absolutely down for. The most beautiful fury. I'm sure there will be ample opportunity given the trouble Sansa always seems to trip into, no matter how hard she tries not to (or so she fools herself). I am also eager for Emilia to learn Sansa's secrets and vice versa, although that is so difficult as you know...damn girl(s) is like a vault.

Oh yes!!! Diego's player mentioned wolves and I was on that. Is she taking care of some separately? Probably all someone has to do is show them off via the magic pendants and Sansa will sleepwalk there without remembering how she got there. Can't completely stifle the Stark within.

[valeas]

Lmao the most clever little vaults. You know what, though, CR like that can be very rewarding because it's something you chip away at little by little, and if you do get to That Point it feels wonderfully earned. I'd love to see where they go, and I think it would be especially interesting to explore their fragmentation, as Emilia also kind of feels split in two because of a curse that suppressed a big chunk of her memories/a different life she used to lead.

One of the wolves, Grace Three, ends up at Emilia's door a lot! So Emilia tends to walk her right back to Diego's, and rinse and repeat lmao. Please give Sansa some puppy playtime, she's really earned it.

[notsansa]

All of this yes, and more yes.

Time to run into them during a return walk, maybe??? Because Sansa just has to hear what a terrible naming system this is. And this is coming from somebody who really isn't very original with naming dogs herself. Can easily involve a would-be suitor rescue, too, if we still want to go that route.

[valeas]

YES PLEASE.

Let's give them this bit of cuteness/first meeting before things go to the crapper again (you know they will). We can always start with the woofs and see where that takes us. The sky is the limit here.

[notsansa]

Stamp of approval! I'll try to drum something up amongst all these revelations that keep getting dropped in the group's lap.

[soloritur]

I've enjoyed getting to throw Marcos at Emilia, so I hope to continue on with them. He's still being very polite and trying not to pry but maybe eventually he'll find out some things. She has him for back up though any time!

And I'll take any excuse to throw Five her way again. He's gotten close to Wrath... amazingly, so you know. This is a thing.

[valeas]

I've really enjoyed this, too! I also offer her as a soundboard for anything he might need, it sounds like he has a lot to get off his chest too ok. And maybe between alarming Attaryl talks we can also add some thieves for them to chase off why not!!

I DESPERATELY WANT MORE OF HER AND FIVE. We need to give them something unique because they're, you know, special and require it. She's so proud of Wrath for making one grumpy friend.

[soloritur]

Omg Marcos is holding it together, but someone help him come up with a plan because he's just sick about this Attaryl business... when he's been thinking they were the better half of the witches ahh... He is stressed and doing all he can to not think about leaving his infant daughter to fend for herself (ok she's probably with Lorna's aunt BUT STILL he got to spend one entire day with her before this). Chasing thieves sounds like a super fun activity!

YES please give me an excuse. Wrath should feel very accomplished, he befriended someone who... didn't have any friends for 58 years. So many reasons Five is This Way. But Wrath was a good guy when he had opportunities to take advantage of vulnerable moments, so you know. He put in the work.
