[OOC] The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

[Kassarock]

Damn its so nice slipping back into Ozragad again lol.

I feel like he's probably actually in a pretty remorseful state. I think he's the kind of person that generally listens to good advice when he hears it from someone he trusts, but all that pride and anger really get in the way of him making good decisions when he's on his own/being provoked. So he's probably cooled down a bunch and is now all like 'fuck, why did I do that? That was stupid.'

[sukikyoufu]

I can bet! I'm excited to see more of him~

Haha oh bless him! It makes sense though, he is a warlord after all so violence must be a natural instinct to him. It will be interesting to see how that side plays out when we get into things like the assassination and potential threats to the crown.

[Kassarock]

Well, I don't feel too sorry for him, its his own fault - and he is colossal arsehole either way lol.

Will get a reply up tomorrow!

[sukikyoufu]

Yeah, but I quite like that about him. Will be fun to explore!

No worries, take your time!

[Kassarock]

Hey, know I said I get a post up a few days ago, haven't forgotten, just been busy with some other stuff.

[sukikyoufu]

Hey! No worries! Take your time, you know I'm super patient when it comes to this.

[Kassarock]

Aye sorry for the wait, took a me a little time to work out what I wanted to do with this one.

[sukikyoufu]

No need to apologise! I really loved the response :)

[Kassarock]

But I thought apologising was the only condition lol

[sukikyoufu]

I meant you for apologising for the wait haha! Honestly I'm super patient, always happy to wait :)

[Kassarock]

I know, I know, just having a little joke.

[sukikyoufu]

Ohhhhh hahaha wow I completely missed that xD

I am so oblivious to jokes sometimes haha xD

[Kassarock]

So got any ideas for things you want to do?

I still have the assassination plot ticking along in the background.

I thought as for a Formori custom that could be done before the wedding, maybe a hunt of some kind? Suitors having to prove their skill and worthiness to their betrothed etc. Will try to think of some more options.

Any ideas for Eorzian courtship rituals?

[sukikyoufu]

Yeah, I still think the assassination plot in the background would be good, perhaps it could be during one of the customs before the wedding?

Ohhh that could work nicely!

I was thinking on a few Eorzian rituals and I have two that I was playing around with. One of them being sort of like a hunt, but it’s where the betrothed has to hunt down their partner. Like there would be tons of females dressed to the nines, all in a mask of some kind of prey and they run into the forest to hide. The men would then have masks of predators and have to hunt out their partner, their betrothed first as it’s meant to symbol good luck or something?

I also had another one where the woman would have to present themselves to their partner and show off some sort of skill of theirs that they have learned. Be it a musical instrument or something along the lines of a talent to show him and to the court.

Those were a few ideas I was playing with.

[Kassarock]

Ooooh I like the sound of both of those.

I think though, the bride hunt would be much better/funnier in Eorzia, after all Ozragad has something of an unfair advantage with Elise being the only Eorzian woman at court. Having in Eorzia would have him completely out of his element as well, not know the terrain, being surrounded by strangers, everyone in masks - I can see him freaking out a bit about the whole thing and I want to do that!

The other idea I was also considering as well but forgot to mention is having them exchange meaningful gifts, be cool since it would force them to think about what they other one would like, have to understand each other etc.

[sukikyoufu]

Ohhhh yes!

Perhaps we could have Elise do her talent at the Formori court because she would feel uncomfortable performing in front of them to people she barely knows.

I love the idea of Ozragad performing the bride hunt in Eorzia, especially surrounded by all her women at court. That would be so much fun!

Ohhhh yeeees, gift exchange would be nice too! Especially as you say it makes them have to think about each other and what would be a great gift for them. I think we could incorporate them all? It would set nice paces leading up to the wedding :)

[Kassarock]

Yeah I think we can incorporate a bunch of them.

Elise's Talent show + Ozragad's hunting trial in Morganyth, then the Bride Hunt and maybe something else in Eorzia, gift exchange right before the wedding itself?

[sukikyoufu]

Perfect! That sounds like a plan!

Meanwhile the assassination plot will still carry on in the background haha.

I should hopefully get a response up tomorrow :)

[Kassarock]

Phew that was a long one.

I've had that scene, or at least, the bit leading up to Ozragad's last line, in my head for ages. I knew at some point he was going to raise a toast to The Arrangement since we started this practically.

Also, I do hope Elise notices the powder, otherwise we might have something of a problem.

[sukikyoufu]

That was so enjoyable, and I loved replying to it haha.

I also really enjoyed that last line, it fit so well and no way? I love it when you have an idea on how something will pan out for a while.

Haha yeah I couldn’t have her not notice it when she is watching him, phew haha.
