Deidra Nofaló
Committed
Roleplay posts: 81
Age: 22
Physical Description: She stands at a formidable 178 centimeters and is exceedingly well trained and toned. She has an athletic build that had been nurtured since she began her training as a knight at 7 years old. Her hair is a golden blonde and is usually carefully braided back or twisted in a bun when in combat or training. She has piercing grey eyes that seem to take all of the surroundings and she doesn't have the most approachable outwardly expression.
Clothes and Equipment: She typically carries a long sword and a buckler with her. Built into the pommel of her sword is her family's crest, the winged wolf. This is also mirrored in her more ornate armor which has the wolf's head built into her shoulder and the wings in her elbows and behind her knees. She prefers to wear a lighter set of armor when training and sparring though or when walking around town so she can blend in more easily without being recognized.

Deidra's eyes went from the empress to the princess and the demon that still hovered watching their conversation closely as Gundulf eyed the guards at the door. "Nothing... I'd feel comfortable annoucing to the relative public. In a more intimate setting, yes, I'd like to continue this discuss on the logistics of everything. There are other details I'd feel more comfortable sharing with you alone." She said by way of explanation and Gundulf snorted a bit in agreement. "I'd only like to request those in this room be sworn to secrecy for the moment unless provided permission by you or myself. But other than that, I have no further words at this time." She said simply with a small nod.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
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 nods, understanding. “A more intimate setting is something that can be arranged; without knowing if anything else is planned, I tentatively invite you to dinner the night after next. We’ll speak of this more then.” Naoki then looks from Skarlet to Koitika, prompting them to make some manner of affirmation. A pledge to secrecy is, she thinks, implicit with the privilege of being in this room, but going through the formality is no trouble.

Koitika
Established
Roleplay posts: 39
Age: Unknown
Physical Description: Koitika stands at a meagre 8” tall, no larger than a typical stuffed toy. Her features are quite rounded and cute as well like a toy- even the small bat wings perched on her back contribute to the illusion. Upon first glance, her pastel golden tresses appear to be very curly and bouncy but upon close inspection, her hair is actually a mass of tentacles. She has a rather impassive face, and isn’t overly expressive except in a few instances. Generally her eyes appear closed, but when opened, her eyes are a rich royal purple with pentagrams over her pupils.
Clothes and Equipment: Koitika prefers to wear cute, rather frilly clothes with accessories such as bonnets, necklaces, bracelets etc. She doesn't like wearing the same thing twice- ever. The only constant to her outfit is her precious stuffed bunny. She brings it everywhere with her.

Koitika perked a brow. The interaction had gone far better than she would have thought possible. The whole of the situation was intriguing to say the least. She hoped she would be able to come along to see the looks on the council's faces as their newest member strolled in with this insanity. She was almost positive, the celestial would faint from shock.
"Of course. Whatever my mistress demands. Not a word of this will pass from Koitika's lips." She said easily, taking a lazy path back to Naoki. She gave the princess's protector a wide berth. The metal wolf could likely easily swallow this form in a single bite. And that wouldn't bode well at all.

"Yes, You can count on my silence. We'll see you again for that dinner then." Skarlet had stayed quiet for most of this meeting, she didn't have much of an opinion on this floating city but wondered how the weather was. She assumed it must be sunny so that would be less attractive as a travel destination for her unless of course, she packed her enchanted outfit that made her immune to the sun.

The Empress sits atop her throne, considering what else needs to be done. In a few days, she is to depart for Edan in what will be her first trip abroad in… a few years, certainly. And it’s proving to be more difficult than she initially thought. The travel preparations themselves are all but complete - her bags are already on their way to the port. But preparing Isra for her departure is proving more problematic. The state is somewhat reliant on her — and understandably so, it was designed as such. Such a trip wouldn’t have been possible a year ago, before the appointment of her Consuls, but the transfer of power isn’t as simple as she might like it to be. That, and there are a good number of “loose ends,” so to speak. One such loose end ought to be arriving shortly, Naoki requested that Lady Venus come to speak with her not long ago.

Venus strutted in, clothed in a dark red leather jacket studded with gemstones. Her legs were obscured by black leather leggings, which clung to her skin closely. Her shoes were simple, open-toed heels. Her hair bounced behind her, a steely pink color, pulled back into a ponytail. "Naoki," she greeted with a smirk, giving a half bow. Her yellow eyes glinted, as she cocked her hip out.
"What can I do for you?" She asked, pushing one of her cuticles back.

Since learning of her skin-changing ability at their first meeting, Naoki has come to understand that Venus can appear as any given well dressed and somewhat slutty looking woman. For better or worse, there aren’t terribly many of those strutting around The Citadel, and so when Venus enters, it’s more or less what Naoki was expecting. The outfit doesn’t show as much skin as usual, but an embellished jacket with pants so tight seems very much on-brand for Venus.
Once Naoki sees Venus’s eyes, however, she sees more than she was expecting - a glimmer of recognition where there should be none.
The Empress scowls. This joke, stunt—whatever it is, she finds in poor taste. Both women have their respective places in her life, and Venus is straying from hers.
From hers, of which the full extent is hidden out of shame, and into Kate’s, which is far, far away, deliberately separated from most everything else and protected by, among other things, literal walls and guards.
Naoki unwittingly allowed Venus one glimpse of this treasured spot back at The Ball, and now here she is. Having replicated Kate’s distinctive features, here she is, strutting all about as if she is Kate—as if what she's doing is acceptable in any way. She’s even going so far as to pop her damn hip.
The Empress blinks. When Venus is still there, she blinks again. Her expression is frozen just as it was when the door was opened—which is with no expression at all.
For a long moment, The Empress just looks at Venus, standing there in her impudent heels. The Empress does not express her anger outwardly, but a portion of it may be visible in her eyes as she stares at Venus. (It's a lot.)
“You can come back tomorrow,” The Empress states, enunciating with perfect clarity.
In a lower voice, “Wearing something else.”

"I don't exactly appreciate being summoned out of anger, to be dismissed by that same anger. I think we should save time and talk now, mmh?" She asks, tilting her head.
As her hair falls to her side, she twirls ths hair, before noticing it's hue. Her eyes go through confusion, realization, anger and then humor. "What a fascinating color, wouldn't you say? Or does it make you uncomfortable Naoki?" She drawls teasingly.
"Now who has pink hair of such a shade?" She asks rhetorically. "I know! The," her voice begins to mimic Naoki's. "'most beautiful woman at the ball', correct?" She asks, switching to her regular voice at the very end.
Naoki thought of Venus as a pet. Oh, how wrong Naoki would be.

The Empress raises her arm and snap-points at the door. She will have none of it.
“Tomorrow,” she reiterates, all but growling.
Noting this, the guards lining each side of the room audibly shift in their armor, reminding everyone of their presence. It may not be a wise idea, but it is as they are trained to do.
An irritated hand gesture waves them back. Naoki knows there’s no sense in their attempting to escort Venus out, but she also knows that she’s far too steamed to have any sort of coherent discussion.

"As you wish, Naoki." Venus says darkly, fury in the yellow eyes. Venus huffs, twisting around on her heel and strutting out. However her strut lacks any of the usual sway. Her back is ramrod-straight, and her chin up. Fury radiates off her in waves, as she glares fiercely at the guards on her way out, silently daring them to test her.

The Empress remains exactly as she is until the doors close behind Venus,
Once they do, she lowers her arm and begins to breathe deeply. With the subject out of sight, she’s able to simmer down to a low boil—a controllable level of anger. Grumbling and muttering expletives, she stares at the door through which Venus left.
“How dare she.”
The room is dead silent. Venus said something there but The Empress did not hear. Perhaps she’ll look at the transcript later, perhaps she won’t.
“There will be no more court today,” declares The Empress, standing.
“Save the rest of those things for later,” she instructs the listboy, “And go.”
Stalking out the side door, The Empress leaves, with the intention to go blow off steam.
After a moment, the assembled guards and courtiers break formation, moving to stand and exit. There is a hushed tension about them. None of them quite understand what happened there, but The Empress was Upset. Rarely does The Empress get upset, and rarer still does she display anger.

The following day Naoki sits upon her throne once again. Legs crossed, hands folded in her lap, dressed in one of her favorite sweaterdresses, she is now prepared to speak to Venus.
The anger of yesterday is not gone but has been tempered by time, food, and a few vigorous sessions with Koitika. She has considered her thoughts, sorted through them, and decided what she will do. One of the luxuries of being The Empress is being able to take that time, and she’s better off for it. Any conversation yesterday would not have been a conversation at all.

Venus wore the same jacket as before, except navy blue leather, but with a pair of nice dressy pants that were a soft midnight blue. Her heels weren't open-toed, and had a white heel, with dark blue top. Her hair was black and went all the way down her back to curl at her kneecaps. Her eyes were deep blue and her nails black; Naoki may recognize this as the first appearance she had ever seen Venus as.
She walks calmly towards Naoki, a velvet bag is placed at Venus' feet, and the demon crosses her arms. She doesn't say anything, but moves her black lips as if she wishes to say something, but decides against it.

“Hello, Venus.” Naoki launches right into it. “I apologize for being short with you yesterday.”
“I initially wanted to speak to you regarding The Summit, but when you entered, looking like you did, I became exceptionally upset, to the point of unable to hold a discussion.”
“Since then, I’ve had time to settle and consolidate my thoughts, so now I will say this, and you will listen:”
A brief pause as Naoki searches her pouch. “I have a unique relationship with Kate Green, the woman on the silver coin.”
Naoki holds up a silver coin for Venus to see before bringing it back into her palm to gaze at as she continues speaking.
“I love her very much, for reasons and in ways that are quite personal and very important to me. If you were previously unaware, now you are not.” The coin goes back into the pouch.
“When you walked into this room yesterday looking like her, with her hair, her eyes, and so on, that upset me because you are not her. You are so very much not her, to such an extent I found it revolting and highly offensive. Not because it was itself ugly, but because it was a distorted, imperfect perversion of the original.”
“Now, I am not asking you to understand any of what I’ve just said. I am not asking you to understand the mortal concept of love or how I feel or why I feel the way that I do. What I am telling you is this: You are going to leave my personal life alone. You are going to leave Kate alone, not assume her likeness, or concern yourself with her in any way. You are not going to bring it up, talk about it, mention her in passing, imply things about it, gossip about it, or do anything at all remotely related to Kate or the relationship I share with her.” Maintaining direct eye contact, Naoki counts these items off on her fingers as she lists them.
“You will say, ‘very well,’ or ‘as you wish,’ or something to that end—with a snarky remark if you’d like, and then that will be the end of it, we’ll move on to why I initially wanted to speak to you: The Summit, and we will not come back to this.” Having reached the end of her prepared statement, Naoki gestures with finality.
“... I believe I’ve expressed myself clearly but was any of that unclear to you? I want to avoid misunderstandings later.”

"Naoki, I have little interest in what you do in your free time. I simply wish to clarify, so we both understand in case such a thing hapoens again, I did not willingly choose my form. The attire? Absolutely. But those physical characteristics I did not choose. It is not something I have the utmost control over." She lifts the velvet bag and tosses it at Naoki's feet.
"An apology, for upsetting you so." Even if Venus thought the reasons for such were ridiculous. She pauses to sniff the air, and bites back a snarl.

“Oh. Did you not?” Naoki seems surprised; she assumed that if one had the power to shapeshift, that would be something to pay attention to and consciously control. For a moment she wonders what that must be like but now is not the time.
“Well then, in that case, there’s no issue. Excellent.” Naoki nods. Venus took that better than she thought she might.
Turning her attention to the bag at her feet, Naoki looks from it to Venus and back. People don’t tend to throw things at her. She makes no move to touch it and instead shoots Venus a questioning look. What is this?

"No, part of my passive magic revolves around desire. You desire Kate much, and the magic naturally moves to fill that unless I purposefully think of preventing it." She explained before sneezing.
"Excuse me! That's an apology, go on. Open it. What did you wish to discuss yesterday about the Summit?"

Naoki blinks, one eyebrow higher than the other. The idea that Venus brought an apology gift without being prompted seems... suspect, to say the least. ‘Prideful’ is one of the big characteristics one would associate with demons. ‘Generous’, not so much.
But then… what is it? What’s in the bag? Conscious of the fact that this would be an excellent way for Venus to enact revenge, Naoki slides the bag a bit closer with her foot and leans to pick it up.
Weighing it between her hands, Naoki considers the fact that it really wouldn’t be in Venus’s best health to try something fishy. The only reason she would be pure spite. And while Naoki is aware that they aren’t the very closest of friends, she’s done well by Venus so far and should like to think that this gift is in good faith.
That’s what Naoki thinks as she draws open the bag.

Venus suppresses a sigh. She wasn't a generous being, but she did not wish to alienate the only ally she had currently. She was not above simple bribery for forgiveness. It annoyed her that Naoki clearly thought so lowly of Venus so as to expect vengeance for a simple argument.
In Naoki's hands was an exquisitely crafted bow. The grip was made out of a fine leather, with a texture like that of silk. The limbs of the bow were made of a very fine oak, strong and sturdy, yet light and flexible. The limbs were encrusted with gemstones, ranging from a cluster of diamonds near where the arrow would be fired from, to rubies at the tips. The bowstring seemed to be made out of starlight, as it shimmered in the lighting like that of the sky. In the velvety bag was a set of arrows, each with a different colored tip.
"The ruby arrows will set enchanted fire to their targets, while the sapphires will encase said target in a block of arcane ice." Venus explained. Indeed, there were ruby tipped ones, sapphire tipped ones. There were peridots and citrines, diamonds and emeralds to onxyes and amethysts and many more. "I took them from my personal collection back home. I strongly recommend avoid using the blood diamonds unless you're in a particularly dire situation though," she says, referring to the diamonds streaked in red.
At the bottom of the silk bag was a small tuft of pink-silver hair. It wasn't particularly noticeable, but to Naoki, it probably shined familiar, given it's distinctive hue.

Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
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.

“Oh hoh, look at this!” Pulling the bow from the bag, Naoki stands to examine it properly. There are lots of gemstones — it’s a bit gaudy, but she supposes they all must serve some purpose. Aiming it off to one side, she gives the string a few experimental tugs. It seems very nice and certainly is very eye-catching in comparison to other bows she's used. Not needing to restring it will be excellent.
After looking over it once more, Naoki sets the bow up against the side of her throne and turns her attention to the arrows. With the utmost care, she pulls one out and looks it over.
After a brief investigation, Naoki concludes that it certainly is an arrow and she probably shouldn’t fool with it. Placing it back into the bag, she ever-so-carefully ties the bag up and puts it on the floor next to the bow.
“Thank you, Venus. We’ll hope I never find myself in such a situation, but until then it will grace my mantle.” Naoki almost motions for a page to come to take the items aside, but doesn’t. She decides to go try it out after she's finished here.
With that sorted, Naoki nods and moves to the next topic. “Now then. ... I would like to follow up with you regarding The Summit.”
Pressing her fingers together, Naoki pauses to give Venus a significant look. They both know what happened.
“What were your overall impressions? I’d like to hear your thoughts on the event.”
