Robert walked up to Naoki's seating area, smiling brightly. Dixie clung to his arm, the sunlight shining on her golden-blonde hair as Robert led her up to the Empress's box. He grinned at Naoki, offering her a box of chocolates. Perhaps this was his chance to curry the favor of the Empress, or perhaps it wouldn't pan out...in any case, the chocolates couldn't hurt. The box was filled with what his uncle had said were Naoki's favorite flavors, after all.
"Good afternoon, Ma'am. It's good to see you out here for the event. It's quite a match-up, don't you think? Can I interest you in some of my uncle's chocolates? Also, allow me to introduce my friend Dixie. I've known her for quite some time, but this is her first time in Isra."
Dixie smiled and batted her eyelashes at Naoki, brushing a strand of hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear. It was quite a rush to be finally meeting such a powerful figure, especially such a pretty one. She'd heard the stories and gossip about Naoki, but Robert had refused to tell her if they were true or not.
"It's an honor to meet you, Empress. Isra is such a beautiful city, I never imagined how nice it would be until I got here."

Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress.

Hearing two someones entering her box, Lady Naoki turns to see Robert, with some girl on his arm. Naoki isn’t sure if she’s surprised or not, but regardless, she greets the pair of them cordially.
“Robert. It’s good to see you.” Accepting the box, Lady Naoki lifts the lid slightly to peek at the contents. The same sorts she purchases from Renalt. Excellent. She wonders what he’s after.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Dixie,” Lady Naoki continues, with her best beatific smile and nod. “It certainly looks nice from up here, doesn’t it.”
Turning, she gestures out over the rail. Below them, the entirety of the arena is sprawled below for their viewing pleasure. “Have you been to The Citadel?” Naoki asks.

Dixie nodded, looking over at the city below them. It certainly was a nice vantage point, and she could see why Naoki had her box all the way up here. Her cat at home was the same way, always sitting as high up as she could to watch over everything. Did the mysterious empress always exhibit cat-like behaviors, or was it just a coincidence?
"Yes, actually. I've been inside once, Robert took me there for the Yuletide feast. The event was flawless, and all the decorations were simply magnificent. I imagine it's not like that all the time, though..."
The event had, in fact, been a bit more exciting than Dixie had hoped. Robert had let his cousin Roy in along with some witch in a very short dress, but then Roxanne had appeared out of nowhere and dragged him away. It was more than she'd expected, although Robert assured her that it was well within normal for his family.
"Are the matches here usually this crowded? I heard quite a bit of hubbub about it, but I'm afraid I really don't know all that much about the fighters. Is there something special going on about them?"
Robert, meanwhile, was completely distracted, giving out chocolates to a few children who'd gathered around outside the box to catch a glimpse of the empress.

Looking up from the match, The Empress gives Dixie a look, then glances back down. Below, lightning bolts crackle through a large mass of water and are accompanied by floating runes, light constructs, and all manner of flashy magics. The sound is dampened, but still somewhat loud.
And Dixie would like to know if there’s anything special about them? Naoki shakes her head mentally but doesn’t mind spelling it out.
“The man’s name is Daedalus. He’s The Minister of Magic—high position in my government. She’s called ‘Jun of The Celadine;” she’s a Land Tiller, a Sun Marshal, and a hero several times over. Both of them are, as you can see, terribly powerful mages.”
Lady Naoki gestures and tries her best not to come off as demeaning.
“This is the first exhibition match of this sort. Though, it seems attendance is good; I believe organizing more will be a good idea.” The box of chocolates finds a spot in the shade, where they hopefully won't melt.

Dixie cast a wide-eyed gaze down at the match, watching the flashes of lighting and glowing runes in awe before returning her attention to the empress. As eye-catching as the magic was, she had her eye on something else entirely, something softer and more alluring.
"So those aren't just some ordinary mages, then...I had no idea. Robert mentioned something about that, I think, but he also said the woman had appeared naked in the central plaza some time ago. We don't really have magic where I'm from, it's sunch a tiny town...I've never seen much more than a couple sparkles and flashes of light. This is incredible, and I'm amazed that you can protect the crowd from all that...it's wonderful what people can do with magic. Not just in the arena either, all over Isra...I can't imagine what it must be like, ruling over a city like this. Hundreds of times more difficult than little towns and villages, I'm sure...you're an inspiration, you know that?"
Robert, meanwhile, had found himself in the predicament of a man who'd made the mistake of feeding a seagull. A group of children were clustered around him, all eager for a piece of the chocolate that he was generously doling out.

Lady Naoki goes to speak, prepared to launch into a lengthy explanation of magic, the arena’s protections, and the art of delegation, but Dixie catches her off guard, and she stops.
An “inspiration?” Naoki has been called many things, but this is a new one. In her consideration, Naoki pauses. Glances at Robert. Then it clicks.
“You aspire to this?” The question seems genuine. Naoki circles one finger in the air, referring to the box and the decadence surrounding them as symbols of status, power, and wealth. Common aspirations.
To Lady Naoki, it seems obvious. Here stands a kindred spirit, walking a path she has already traveled.

Dixie's eyes shined as she nodded, soaking in the luxury of the box and decorations. It all glowed and glittered in the sunlight...but in the end, glitter and gold only got you so far.
"Yes, I'd like this...but that's not all. I want to be in charge for once, to be in control. To be a part of something, the head of something important...that's why I agreed to come out here with Robert. If I stayed home, the only thing I'd ever be in charge of is the local inn if I'm lucky. Out here, I'd like to think there's a chance for me to make something of myself...like you did."
She beamed at Naoki, brimming with admiration. Meanwhile, Robert had managed to escape the children and was currently engaged in a conversation about baked goods with an elderly lady who happened to be nearby.

Lady Naoki nods. She suspected as much, but Dixie was kind enough to spell it out.
“Well,” she says “ you’re doing rather well for yourself in that regard.”
“In fact,” Lady Naoki continues, “I think you’ve done just about as well as you possibly could have.”
Turning her head, Naoki aims to catch and hold Dixie's gaze as she goes in, taking casual half-steps in her direction.
She comes directly adjacent, maintaining a steady eye on her prey. “Because you’ve come alllll the way up here to this box, and caught the eye of The Empress herself.”
For three beats there is relative silence.
Then she uses her tail to give Dixie a swift slap on the ass. Though it doesn’t crack like a whip, the idea is the same.
After allowing a moment, Lady Naoki leans an inch closer and asks in the same conversational tone, “Just how closely do you intend to follow my example?”

Dixie's eyes widened at Naoki's statement that she'd caught her eye, and let out a soft gasp of shock at the smack of her tail. It wasn't the smack that surprised her, she'd worked in a tavern before and was quite used to the treatment...but coming from the Empress of Isra herself, and so soon! She glanced back at Robert, who gave her a wink and a nod, and turned back to Naoki. She smiled, leaning forward just enough to show exactly how low her top had been cut.
"Why, Empress...I intend to follow your example as closely as I have to. I'm an awfully good learner, you know."
Robert had been right, this was easy, and she was good at this. The big city was so much more exciting than the little town she'd grown up in, that was for sure.

Lady Naoki smirks, the tip of her tongue between her lips. That’s what she’s about. The gasp, and that expression of utter surprise, followed by realization. Though Dixie doesn’t blush quite as much as Naoki would have hoped, she's young enough to be much fun regardless.
“In that case, I propose the following. After the match, and after the after-match activities, join me at The Citadel. There, you will learn much, and in doing so, accelerate your career.”

Dixie nodded slowly, a smile creeping slowly over her face. She hadn't imagined that this would go so well so quickly, but she certainly wasn't going to complain. It seemed the rumors about the mysterious Empress had been true. She looked forward to learning all about big city life, more than even Robert could teach her.
"Oh, I'll be sure to be there. Thank you for the invitation, Empress. I'll make sure I dress for the occasion...I'm sure there's so many things you can teach me, I can't wait."
She glanced back at Robert, grinning at him.
"I'll really have to thank Robert for introducing me...I'd never have even come to the city if it wasn't for him."

The Empress also turns to glance at Robert, over there with his friend. Naoki has been able to somewhat follow his dicussion on account of her ears, and finds the situation mildly amusing. Hopefully, he hasn’t heard a word of what was said over here.
After a moment of thoughtful consideration, Lady Naoki snaps her fingers to get his attention. “Oi.”
“Robert.” She makes a beckoning motion; she’d like to speak with him.
The Empress then speaks to Dixie out of the corner of her mouth, “Say nothing.”

Robert was in the middle of trying to explain his reasoning behind using a crosshatched pattern on cherry pie crust rather than a flat top crust, but heard the Empress snap her fingers and call to him. He excused himself immediately, as the Empress was not the sort of woman to be kept waiting. The old lady waved him off, and he hurried over to Naoki and Dixie.
"Yes? What did you want, Empress? It's good to see that you and Dixie seem to be getting on well, she was really looking forward to meeting you."
He glanced back at the old lady, but she'd already left. Hmmph. He'd have to defend his pies another day.

“Mhm, yes, quite so.” She brushes off his comment to get to her own.
“I would like to know if it would be alright with you for me to borrow Dixie.”
She seems entirely serious in asking. As if she were his neighbor asking to borrow a tool.

"Borrow Dixie?"
Robert was a bit taken aback by the question, and paused for a moment. He had some inkling of what was going on, it was Naoki and Dixie after all...but he hadn't expected her to ask. He'd partially expected Naoki to take Dixie without so much as a second glance back, or even to just drag her to some specially-made room in the arena specifically for her own personal use...the question caught him off-guard. Still, it wasn't as though he was in any position to refuse.
"Why...I don't see anything wrong with that, if that's what she'd like. I guess I'll have to take you to dinner tomorrow instead, Dixie...she's all yours, Empress. I know she'll be in safe hands..."
He chuckled, winking at Dixie. She smiled, batting her eyelashes at him.

Naoki is disappointed, and she huffs lightly, swapping her straight face for slightly furrowed eyebrows. She had hoped he would ask “for what” or something similar, in which case she had an entire little thing mentally planned out which would have been amusing and led him into to coming along without her directly propositioning him. That’s the real problem with being undisputed ruler of the world, Naoki supposes. It denies her the opportunity to do clever little things like that. Now she’ll have to figure something else out; he’s too savvy for his own good.
Then she figures it out, and The Empress fixes Robert with a shrewd look. A look that isn’t necessarily conveying any particular meaning, but she’s not finished with him yet. She holds him like this for the space of a few silent seconds.
“Three guesses as to what I will be doing tonight!” she says suddenly, raising three fingers.
A pause, and then, “If you guess correctly… you can come.”

Robert's eyes widened at the offer. Now this wasn't exactly what he'd expected, but he certainly wasn't complain. Of course, he was fairly certain he knew what the two would be getting up to. After all, it was Dixie and Naoki for goodness sake...what else could it be? He hesitated for a second, composing himself.
"Well, if I had to guess...I'd say you'll be showing Dixie exactly what it means to be the empress, and how she can apply her skills in a professional setting. Teaching her exactly how things are done here in Isra, and how different it can be from the little villages. Maybe giving her an appreciation for the finer things in life, and convincing her why she should stay in town."
He paused for a moment, then went on, grinning.
"I can bring chocolates."

Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

The Empress’s expression is flat, and she is silent for a long moment. He’s being sassy.
“Very well,” she begrudges, “though that was more than three guesses. I expect you to be on your best behavior.”
After flashing Robert a (teasingly) severe look, Naoki turns her attention back to the arena. Below, the match continues, and the fighters seem very evenly matched. Evenly matched, insofar as they’ve been at it for a few minutes and neither has yielded. With her evening successfully booked, The Empress now intends to watch the remainder of the match.

Roleplay posts: 1,017
Age: 90
Physical Description: ---------------------------------------------------------
An elderly and frail looking woman with white wispy hair. However, despite being old, her back is not bent by age nor are her eyes clouded by it.
Clothes and Equipment: ---------------------------------------------------------
She wears a deep purple robe that has sleeves that extend far beyond her hands. Her hands are covered with fine gloves of black silk and she wears one ring on each, one having a purple stone set in it and the other a piece of onyx. Carrying an ornate cane of orellium, Grandma can use it to increase her magical channeling as well as assist in deflecting others spells with it. The cane itself is black and covered in numerous ornate, but tiny runes. The cap on the cane is a purplish colored gem. On her wrist is a silver bracelet with a ruby in it that Grandma uses for telepathic communication with others in its network.

Just the surge of magical energies coming from the arena had drawn Grandma’s attention, not to mention the growing storm cloud above it. It had been quite a while since any Isran sponsored tournaments had taken place in the Oculus Solis Arena. Those tournaments had been the primary reason skilled fighters traveled to this place to fight each other, and without them, things had grown stale. Most of those who frequented the arena now were little more than common swordsmen and even trainees. While there were those who enjoyed watching such people spar, the Vizier found filling out paperwork a more stimulating experience.
Cane clicking rhythmically, Grandma steadily scaled the stairs that led into the spectator booths. Gray eyes glinting dully, she looked down on the scene before her. On one side there was a winged woman, she was the one who had summoned the storm. She had a demonic aura about her, but it was not quite the same as the usual demons Grandma encountered. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it...
Her opponent appeared to be a human man, although the fact he was facing down such an opponent immediately ruled out that he was anything similar to the usual fodder that trained in this place. That sword of his was certainly not a standard issue weapon.
Rings glimmering even in the shadow of the growing storm, the old woman moved towards the edge of the viewing area, intent on viewing the fight from a nearer vantage. Had this fight been taking place just about anywhere else in Isra, the Enclave would have been dispatched immediately to deal with it. However, given the fight was taking place in the arena, it was perfectly legal.

Foxgloves
Committed
Roleplay posts: 77
Physical Description: Foxgloves is shaped like a man for the most part, tall and lanky. He wears a long coat with innumerable pockets and a hood with two long points that flop about like a rabbit's ears. The fingers of his gloves are long and thin, and his pointed boots are unadorned. Most notably, he wears a white mask, behind which only darkness can be seen. He is very light, as though stuffed nothing but cotton and cobwebs.

Foxgloves waited patiently, standing upside-down on the ceiling of the arena lobby. Below the dangling points of his hood, a collection of burly men and women milled about around a small registration desk. The small matches held once a fortnight drew nowhere near the crowds that the tournaments attracted, but the small, dedicated audience was loyal in its attendance and generous in its betting. The strange man standing on the ceiling attracted a few curious glances, but most of the regulars were used to Foxgloves and his unusual habits. After all, he'd supplied more than a couple of them with replacement limbs free of charge. This generosity made it easy for them to overlook the fact that he often disassembled the corpses of losers dragged from the ring, pulling the body parts right off the canvas stretchers and tossing them into that bag of his. Despite being held in the same venue as the illustrious Imperial Tournaments, these matches were regulated only in the barest sense of the word, and serious injuries or deaths were not uncommon.
As he waited, Foxgloves flipped through a small, leather-bound notebook. Hundreds of secrets that he'd picked up over the years had been carefully inscribed on its pages in his neat, careful script. Each secret represented a memory, a person that he'd once met, and more often than not a transaction that he'd made. As he read, a thin severed hand scuttled out from the inside of his hood and clung to his shoulder. Foxgloves reached over and stroked the back of the hand absently with a long, gloved fingertip. Would Helena show up? He was sure that she would. Hadn't she said that she wanted excitement? What could be more exciting than a flyer for an arena match, along with a pouch containing cash for a registration fee? He supposed that she might very well have pocketed the cash and gone out for a tankard of ale, but he doubted it. She didn't seem like that sort of person.
