THE MONKEY--ER, FISH--TRIAL
It was announced in Court this e'en that Magius Fangorn is being extradited
by the Aquitanian government for the "murder" of Duke Mollari. Apparently
they do not recognize Mollari's current, human, form as the real McCoy.
Subsequently, the duke has lost all his titles and holdings within that
country as well. The Aquitanian ambassador is currently staying in
Warwick awaiting Fangorn's return with him in two weeks' time. Needless
to say, there was an outcry of support for the good Magius, including Sir
Aeric, who was until recently poised to kill him for a slight to his honor.
Duke Mollari, being a lawyer, will be defending Fangorn in his upcoming
hearing.
PALPATINE IS DEAD!
Well, not really...but it got your attention, didn't it? From
what could be gathered from his cousin F-f-f-fritz, who was in attendance
this week, Palpatine confronted the Grim Reaper himself, and traded his
immortality as a Companion for the life of his beloved Cecily, who apparently
died while saving some children from a burning building. According
to F-f-f-fritz, not only is Palpatine as mortal as any non-Companion, his
life-force in inextricably tied to that of his wife; if she dies, he dies.
The good news is that the happy couple FINALLY got to meet in person.
A bitersweet moment, indeed.
DRAGONRIDERS SUCK...FACE
Another guest to the Court of Light this e'en was a Dragonrider from
Ahrothen, who was charged by Countess Shae to escort her wife Katalyn to
the Courtroom in her absence. Not exactly all there, the dragonrider
proceeded to rant and rave, at one point going so far as to kiss an astonished
Sir Aeric on the lips! After the rider's departure, Dona Karrisa
explained that the dragonriders of Ahrothen have a long-standing rivalry
with the Dragonriders of Pern (tm), and that this particular individual
was, shall we say, less than stable mentally.
LITTLE THINGS MEAN SO MUCH
Sir Aeric finally washed that gray right outta his hair, and cut it
as well, but no one seemed to notice or care. Sigh.
Well, that's it for this week, True Believers. See you at Rush! |
