New Cards for December! (updated 12/18)

[houseofcardsmod.livejournal.com]

This post is to be used as CR development and introduction post! New players can introduce themselves and new characters can work out everything out.

They are split between Suits only because that seemed the most sensible way to divide them up ♥♣♦♠

Will be adding to this post as the month goes on and this post will remain stickied to the top of the comm until late this month to make it easy to see when new people are added. :)

Re: Papa Chives

Papa Chives' opinion of former Spade princesses Spades who hightailed it out in the aftermath of the bloody demise of their mother?

Other than that, Jordan and Zoe are the ones Iollan knows. Emma and I preestablished a while back that Iollan used to get Jordan and Ethan in trouble with their respective trainers/parents for raiding the kitchens as small Spades. Jordan doesn't hold a grudge, but he's unlikely to be more than polite to any Two of Spades.

Zoe would be warm and polite up until the point she overheard Iollan taking Declan to task. At that point, glacial ice princess is a go. She adores your son, Iollan, and despises parents who try to mold their children into what they want them to be. It's not personal experience or anything.

For Briony he might make a little bit of an exception. I imagine he knows her parents very well and he can't not be aware that she would have risked her life staying behind. But I think he expects her to come back on some level now that the risks are gone, so to speak. If they've encountered at some point and she's made it clear that she's not coming back he will lineface. A lot. For the Spades is where she ought to belong. But if it's ambiguous he'd be... much less lineface XD

Jordan is another defector >_> Is he coming back? You enjoy the challenge of getting into Iollan's good books, don't you XD I'm sure Iollan's much less terrifying now that they've grown up. He probably got along with Laureline so his relationship with her boy can't be too bad, even if they maintain their distance.

And I'm totally open for Zoe to be privy to one of those traumatising Chives conversations if Qi is too =) I'm sure Chives Sr. and Chives Jr. don't find them traumatising but everyone else would. He leans on Declán fairly hard (and will probably insist that they both want the same thing) so it shouldn't be too difficult to get them into a room and get Iollan going.

She's not coming back, Iollan. :| Chives Jr. linefaces at her constantly, so it can be a mutual Chivesian lineface. XD But I'm good with playing out Briony letting him know that she's not coming back. That might be fun.

Jordan is coming back, assuming I get modly permission for his challenge next month. As a Seven. That's probably the point at which they might develop a more than polite acquaintances sort of thing.

I think it would be awesome if Qi's cool with it. Let me know, and we can proceed? She's the one who inadvertently made Declan realize that Piper is his sister, so...

Briony and Jordan do you see. Do you see how you should both come back. Do you see how this is not just Declan this is ALL THE CHIVES WHO FEEL THIS WAY. :|

Also, I'm definitely down with Zoe having caught one of the Chives Totally Polite Family Conversations about Filial Inadequacy.

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

....One out of two isn't too bad?

Ah, filial inadequacy. How well she knows it. How icily pissed she will be with Chives, Sr. XD

[i-machiavellian.livejournal.com]

Cool we can definitely do both Briony's I'M NOT COMING BACK and Zoe's OMG CHIVES SR YOU SUCK encounters XD For the latter I guess the Chives will thread for a bit and then she can walk in or something? Not sure how you want to do this.

[cipherspeak.livejournal.com]

\o/

We could always assume that she walked in on a past one and since then has been icy, if you want?

[semper-serviam.livejournal.com]

Oh okay yeah sure. It's bound to come up in one of their not-conversations anyway ~_~
