Roy's presence had not evaded Skarlet's detection. While walking to the vip box she would reach out telepathically to him. "Good Day, Roy. I assume you aren't here to fight in the tournament, what with it being the middle of the day."

"Ehh?"
Roy heard Skarlet's voice in his head and looked around. She wasn't anywhere near him. How was she speaking in his head? He concentrated carefully to reply.
Hello? Can you here me? Yeah, I'm just here to watch my cousins. Two of them are in the tournament! Roxanne is in the warrior bracket and Raena's in the magic bracket. It's so exciting. What are you doing here?

Yes, I hear you. How interesting you have 2 of your kin competing. I'm here to spectate with my mother, Lady Naoki. She's become the new leader of Isra recently.

Roy looked over to Skarlet, then to the cat-eared woman. My my, that woman must be older than she looked. But weren't Skarlet's parents gone?
Your mother? Her? Well...ok. And the leader of Isra, too. Congratulations on that! Yeah, two of them. It'll be fun. You should get some lemonade, it's good. Have you gone down to my uncle's shop yet? He sells chocolate and other candy!

The tournament as already well underway when Kate arrived at the massive stadium. One of her biggest customers had made a massive order of oriental herbs, packaged individually. It goes without saying that she was it over her head, even with help from the Sun's emplyees. The first match was early finished when she finally made it. She made a haphazard excuse to the ticket vendor, who let her inside with a respectable nod.
There had been barely any time to get dressed, and she had opted to wear a green dress with white pumps. Her hair was held back by a band which blended well to her natural colours. Kate gave Empress Naoki a light tap on her shoulder to indicate her presence.
"Sorry, I'm a bit late... Those pizza people were really adamant about their oregano. You know how it is." Apologetically smirking she entered the seating box, and took her place beside The Lady of the City. The Show had barely begun, and Kate was already completely absorbed by the movement of the combatants.

Takhana Veil
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 312
Age: 68
Physical Description: Takhana is an undeniably memorable figure. At a full 6' in height, she is graceful and willowy, with a woman's full figure. She has skin that is a dark greyish color, lightly tinted with silver that very nearly sparkles when the light hits it at certain angles. She has the beautifully formed, delicate features, pointed ears, and inherently graceful movements that identify her as one of the Elven folk.Her hair is long, naturally falling to her hips in straight lengths, and is a shining white threaded with silver, although she normally wears it pinned up elaborately with a set of wooden hair sticks that bear jingling silver charms. She has no eyes, and instead wears a blindfold of soft black leather that criss-crosses her empty eye sockets, for the benefit of the others. Tattooed upon her brow and her back are two strange crests, their origin mysterious.
---------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, she wears an elaborate dress of black leather that both reveals her body and conceals it, adorned with straps and seemingly random silver buckles. This is paired with a set of leather-and-metal boots with pointed toes that come to her knees, enhancing the shape of her mostly-visible legs. Aside from her blindfold and ornamental hair sticks, she has a number of accessories that she habitually wears, such as a large pair of silver hoop earrings and numerous silver rings on each hand - one of which, a silvery band set with a violet stone, she wears on her right hand's index finger: This is her official communications accessory for The Midnight Sun, her employer. The enchanted gem is socketed so that it touches her skin at all times, thus allowing her constant access to the telepathic communications network shared by all employees of TMS, simply by virtue of being in uninterrupted physical contact. She uses no weapons, being a peaceable individual.. not to mention the whole blindness thing. She also has a white-and-black, stocky mare named Irabelle, and a fluffy long-haired cat named Jean-Claude.

Takhana glanced toward Naoki and her companions as they made their way into the box, and nodded once at them with a small smile, before her attention turned back to the bout going on in the arena below. This was actually semi-important, after all. She was quietly conferring with Alden over every match as it proceeded, making comments about each combatant's abilities and their potential usefulness for the Sun Marshals.

Post by Empress Naoki on Jun 3, 2016 8:37:08 GMT -8
Kate’s explanation of her delayed arrival elicits a jokingly grumpy sort of pout and a “Hmmph” from Naoki. Idly, she wonders just what sort of spices are more important than attending such a large public function, and in the personal company of her, no less.
Thinking slightly further, she wonders why Kate bothers with the public business side of her business anymore. It isn’t as if she needs the money, and if it’s preventing her from doing things she’d rather be doing, why even offer those sorts of services? She could just as easily ‘close’ her business and instead focus on the purely personal side of her talents, growing and maintaining her garden simply for the enjoyment of doing it.
However, now isn’t the time to start discussing that sort of thing. Naoki has been waiting weeks for this event, and she isn’t about to sully the mood so soon with talk of business. Her pout gives way to the most pleased of smiles, and an affectionate arm finds its way around to rest on Kate’s hip as she takes her place on the couch.
With her other arm, she gestures to Alden and Takhana.
“Kate, this is Alden, and Takhana. High Marshal and Administrator of the Sun Marshals, respectively. I don’t think you’ve had the pleasure of meeting them properly, but what I said about the previously remains the case, I hold the pair of them in high regard; they do excellent work. Alden, Takhana; Kate. I think I’ve mentioned her once or twice.”

Kate nods eagerly at @skalets enquiry. “Yes! I caught a glimpse of Francesco when they came to get the goods. You lucky bunny.” Kate punches Skarlet on the arm, and gives a joyful giggle. “And, honey, please call me Kate. I’m you’re stepmom, Aren’t I?"
The rest of the group seemed a more solemn bunch. One was a woman (An elf..?) wearing a bandaid over her eyes, the other a tall young man with fierce eyes that could pierce steel beams. Kate waved at both of them, then followed with a “Hello" aimed at the woman. She knew The Sun Marshals, people hand picked by Naoki to serve as her closest adjutants were often more special than your run-off-the-mill night guards. Her curiosity shone through as she scoured the two from top to bottom, trying to figure out their purpose on this outing. Out of common courtesy, she didn’t voice these thoughts. Instead, she leaned closer to the Lady of the City, publicising their relationship.
“Very nice to meet you two! I know for a fact that Naoki only hires the absolute best. I have no doubt you both are doing a great job so… Keep at it.” She wasn’t sure if she was in a position to ask about their jobs, so she decided not to. Naoki’s empire was vast, and reached far. There was no way Kate could remember the name and the function of every every cog in this virtually impossible machine.
The sound of the gong radiated throughout the stadium. Below in the arena, a meek looking young mage was facing against an impressively muscular member of the Fletcher Family. Woah, I feel sorry for the guy already. “This is really nice, you know. I’m glad we get to meet outside like this again”, Kate mused softly.

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Alden waves in greeting to his employer, her significant other, and Skarlet who was evidently her daughter? That was news to him, how was the vampire Naoki's daughter? He could look into it he supposed, but it mattered little. Turning his attention back to the fights he made mental notes. Some people showed exceptional skill, others raw potential. Some displayed the right psychological set, others not so much. He would confer with Takhana after the fights to create a short list of potential recruits.

Naoki nods. “It is. It’s nice to be able to be comfortable outside without wearing six layers of insulation. If I could change one thing about Isra’s climate, it would be to take the edge off the winter months. There are too many of them, they’re too long, and altogether too cold…”
As they watch, the white-haired mammoth of a man advances on the mage, whose prospects look grim. Yet, at the last moment, an explosion of force erupts from the smaller individual, sending the Fletcher flying. A roar goes up from the crowd as they find out they’ll have a real fight on their hands.
As she watches, Naoki nods slightly, and casts a glance in Alden and Takhana’s direction. She makes as if to study their reactions, but realizes what a futile endeavor that is midway through. Between the two of them, there isn’t enough obvious emotion to fill a thimble.
Instead, she turns to her left, tilting her head over slightly to speak to Kate. “I should clarify. There’s a secondary purpose to this tournament, beyond serving as an excellent inaugural event for this stadium, and generating revenue to put toward other ventures. It is our hope that the tournament has attracted some of the finest warriors in the world. And, by utilising the inherent sorting mechanism of the tournament itself, coupled with the appraising… eyes of these two, we might find some suitable candidates to join the ranks of the Sun Marshals.”
Another blast of energy sends to the Fletcher flying once again, tumbling his way head over heels directly into one of the arena's walls.
“Such is the hope, at least. I’ve not been impressed yet, though I suppose I’m not quite a qualified judge of these sorts of things.”

Skarlet smiles and laughs, "Okay, Kate."
It interested Skarlet now that she had 2 moms where a couple years ago she had no moms. She watched the matches in great detail, her vampire eyes allowed her to see all the little things humans would miss, it was like she could watch the fights in slow motion. Observing these battles helped her learn how to fight as she read all the movements in how they are executed.

Kate's nose twitched. She wasn't exactly thrilled to hear the stadium was built to attract new champions, which essentially made their "date" a glorified job interview. No matter, she thought. She could work with this. At least nobody was getting decapitated this time. Yet.
"Well, it's a fun fundraiser for sure. The audience is captivated, and I'm having a grand time as well." Kate took a more comfortable position and resumed watching. She wished they had grapes.
After a moment, Kate spoke. "Hm. I heard you've been travelling quite a bit. Must be tough. Keeping close relation to other Kingdoms is important. I just hope you don't get bored during your trips." Kate wiggled her eyebrows. It was a perfectly timed wiggle. She had been practicing.
"What I'm saying, is maybe the next time the duty calls, you'll take me with. Seeing the world beyond the city and the mountains might be fun. I've taken Vito in as an intern, and he's been doing a splendid job as of late. He could handle the works for himself for a while." Kate swatted the air and continued casually: "Food for thought. I'm just saying: next time you're going, you could consider taking me with."

Naoki nods thoughtfully. It is a rather pleasant event, she must agree. No blood is being spilled, the crowd is loud, but not disorderly, and anything that accomplishes multiple purposes so well is fine in her book. Especially so when one of the results is spending time with Kate, whose waggling elicits a grin from Naoki. She’s correct, of course, on both counts. It is most definitely difficult, all of the interpersonal politicking and negotiating. Among the most stressful sorts of conversation, in Naoki’s opinion- those conversations upon the fates of nations sometimes rest. And “boredom” is also definitely a factor at play. Artemis is of some assistance in both regards, but to have Kate along as well would be an unparalleled pleasure. And Naoki says as much, chuckling slightly as she does, “It is, and I do. We don’t see each other enough as it is, without these embassies every few weeks, eating into what would otherwise be free time. It wouldn’t be quite as bad as it is if I had someone competent to attend these sorts of functions in my place, but unfortunately, no suitable candidates have presented themselves yet, and someone has to go. With that said, though, I’m pleased to hear that Vito is doing good work for you, and would like nothing more than to have your company.” Assuming that the positions in which they are seated are allowing of such a movement, Naoki leans over and attempts plant a quick kiss, either on her partner’s lips, the side, or the nape of Kate’s neck, depending on the relative orientations of their heads. If not held in place for any longer, Naoki retreats after a half second or so, and after taking a moment to compose her thoughts, continues. “About two weeks from now, we’ll be sending a delegation over to The Land Tillers' State . I wasn’t planning on accompanying them; it’s not a major function by any means. Just some follow up diplomatic exchanges. I’ve yet to personally visit The Expanse yet, but this trip would be an excellent excuse for us to, if you’d like. I’m not sure how much you’ve heard, but their whole emphasis on agriculture and harmony with nature seems like it might be right up your alley. You could probably teach those Land Tillers a thing or two.” “And, either alternatively or additionally, there’s a minor trip to Gauldin coming up. Some of our treaties need to be renewed in the coming month, and I need to go do that. I was only planning on taking a daytrip, spending a single night at most, but if you like, we could expand upon that trip. From what I’ve seen, it’s a beautiful country... if perhaps not the most politically progressive place I’ve ever been. We could find a nice place to stay, sample some of the Gauldish cuisine, maybe tour the countryside some. Do whatever else it is that people do in Gauldin.” This statement is punctuated with a facetious shrug and a rather salacious wink, aimed to clarify not what, but rather who Naoki would be doing in Gauldin, should such a situation come to pass.

Kate silently moaned when Naoki embraced her with a kiss. One thing her parents did right was pass down the genes that made her lover soft and sqishy in all the right places. "Gauldin does bring out it's best this time of year but... I dunno. I heard it through the grapevine, literally, that Land Tillers are quickly becoming a househld name in organic farming, and we can't let that happen, can we?" Kate caressed Naoki's perfectly shaped chin. "Sorry love, as muchas I love Gauldish food, I can't allow myself to fall to second place just because of some run-off-the-mill hippies." Kate spoke harshly, but softened the blow with a mildly sarcastic tone. Still, it was good no Tillers were invited to their seating box.
There was also something else she heard, hot, just moments before she had arrived. Just a rumor of a gossip, but enough to get her attention. Someone in the Tillers' was working on a very similar field to his father's, and was dangerously close to achieving a breakthrough. If these rumors were even half-true, they needed to be dealt with. She didn't want to ruin the mood, so she kept it a secret for now.

“Mhmm, you’re quite right, we can’t allow that. Perhaps some espionage would be in order.” Naoki’s tone, while seemingly quite serious and edged with malice, wouldn’t likely fool any of the seating box’s guests. Still, it is punctuated with the briefest of chuckles before Naoki continues, “Though... The Tillers, they’re not a bad bunch. I’ve had the pleasure to make acquaintances of a few, and if my sample size is reasonably indicative of the whole, they’re really a rather pleasant people. I doubt they’ll require more coercion than a few polite words and a smile to share their secrets with the likes of you.” After allowing Kate to conclude her caressing, Naoki sits back up and attempts to rest one of her arms around Kate's shoulders. For a moment, she simply sits. The intimacy of the moment is, in a way, simultaneously offset and enhanced by the roaring crowds around them and the swashbuckling clanking of weaponry on the sands below. It’s difficult to be truly relaxed in a setting such as this, but the relative isolation of the seating box and the proximity of their bodies seem to enhance the… closeness, as it were. As far as Naoki is concerned, this whole affair is rather pleasant so far, if not quite her favorite date to date. “And,” Naoki continues, gaze flitting around the arena, “the other part is, we don’t even necessarily have to be in Gauldin to eat their food. What with those trade treaties I forged and the magnificent powers of oversea trade and logistics, we can enjoy such delicacies wherever we please. I’ll make sure to have some assortment of Gauldish fare packed for our trip. … Speaking of such...” Naoki turns her head halfway to the side to face Kate, but turns her gaze farther to look behind the couch to Artemis before addressing her, “Artemis, do you have anything good for eating back there?” However, conveniently enough, Artemis' intervention isn't needed. On the table sitting just behind their couch, some thoughtful page has seen it fit to place a ceramic bowl of assorted fruit. Because, fruit, apparently. A few apples, a pair of bananas, a small stack of mangos, exactly four pears, and a bunch of grapes. Turning about in her seat, Naoki grabs the bowl in both hands, bringing it about carefully to sit on her lap as she reseats herself, either unaware, uncaring, or coyly not addressing any show she may happen to have given in the process of the movement. "Fruit?" The offer is aimed mostly in Kate's direction, seeing as how Skarlet doesn't quite find such things nutritious.

The promise of a vacation in the countryside made Kate all giddy and bubbly inside. “Mh. I can’t wait ‘till I see their land. I haven’t been to the countryside for so long it’s almost scary. My accent is basically nonexistent, too. Still, I like to think that I’m a country girl by heart, even after all the time I’ve spent in the City”, Kate spoke, wistfully. “If they’re anything like the people I grew up with, I’m sure we’ll get along fine.”
Fruit, when offered, elicits a wary reaction from Kate. Her profession had taught her to think twice about eating anything that looked like it grew on trees. One times out of eleven it was something else, which aren’t terrible odds, all things considered, but you don’t want to chow down on a ball of spiders more than once.
For Naoki, Kate decided to take a leap of faith: “Sure, hand me a mango”, She responded. Kate turned the colourful, luscious Mangifera indica around all sides to check it for spider holes. After a significant amount of examination, when she was convinced that there weren’t any spider holes, Kate chomped. It was excellent, watering her eyes as well as her mouth as well as her…
“YUM! Compliments to the- Oh. Well. Trees, I suppose.” Kate shrugged and watched a half-giant wrestle with a mean-looking orc. "Put yer back into it ya sodding- Oh!"
Kate blushed. "Sorry, I got carried away. I blame the mango."

Kate’s exclamation startles Naoki, causing her to jump slightly in her seat and her tail to bush up. However, the following blush and apology is enough not only to sooth Naoki, but also to inspire an affectionate smile. Making an internal note of how incredibly attractive that just was, Naoki resolves to inspire more blushes from Kate in the future.
Reaching into the bowl herself, Naoki selects one of the pears and spends only a moment in examination before taking a bite. After all, if something was wrong with the food provided to her, someone would be in an awful lot of trouble, and her pages haven’t given her any reason to doubt them yet.
As it turns out, this particular pear is in the top percentile of juicy pears. As her teeth sink into it, a dribble of pear juice makes as if to dribble down Naoki’s chin, but is no match for the speed of her tongue. With a dextrous movement and somewhat lewd licking noise, the pear juice is whisked away.
“This reminds me. I knew a fairy, once; a few years before Artemis and I arrived in Isra. Little lime colored fellow, not unlike that purple one you found a while back. We called him Paul. … For reasons that ought not to be shared in polite company.”
Taking another bite of her pear, Naoki inclines her head slightly in Takhana’s direction. Maintaining some semblance of polite conversation in her presence would probably be appreciated. After she finishes chewing, Naoki continues, “Anyway, Paul had a particular penchant for pears. Every morning, just as the sun was rising, he would come in, carrying a ripe pear, the color almost matching his own. He would take the pear, and drop it on Artemis’ head as she was asleep. He would continue to pick up, and drop it from ever increasing heights until Artemis woke up and diced the pear for him.”
Chuckling slightly at her own mental image, Naoki smiles, still quite pleased with the state of affairs.
