intro

[yourcupoftea]

Hey, everybody! I'm Dee. I'm completely new to the game and DW role-playing in general, so I hope you'll be patient with me while I get the shape of things. I'm really excited to dig in here, though, and to start writing with all of you. HoC's concept is fantastic.

I'll be bringing in Meera, a Four of Spades. You can read more about her here, but I'll give you a quick rundown. Her mother was something of a wunderkind in her day. People expected a lot from her. But, around the time that she met Meera's father, her interest in the game started to dwindle. Her competitive spirit was passed down to Meera. Meera is incredibly motivated and determined to one day be the Ace of Spades. Keywords: one day. For now, she's perfectly happy to run errands for her betters in the castle. You never know what you might overhear changing the linens, after all.

What else, what else. She's extremely chatty and is less socially graceful than most other Spades. She's still very courteous, but if she sees someone, no matter their rank or suit, chances are she'll try to talk the ears off them.

Meera was born in the Deck to a Spade mother and (though Meera herself doesn't know it) a Club father, so she's bound to know a lot of people. I love all kinds of CR, so just toss anything at me. And apologies in advance to the Spades. She is going to pester the socks off all of you.

/skids in late with flowers. Hey I'm Violet and welcome to the ~fabulous~ game. I have six kids here (you don't even notice them piling up on you, man D:) and here they are:

Adrien Fitzgerald (denythyfather) is a Six of Diamonds, but the most likely of my characters to actually know Meena. He was a Spade until he was 18, part of the infamous Fitzgeralds - they're one of those Spade families, with the intrigue and the ambition, etc. At 18, his parents kicked him out/he ran away to the Diamonds and he's been there ever since. He still has childhood friends in the Spades, though, so that's entirely possible? He's now 26: sociable, flamboyant, a flirt, ~and~ has an adopted daughter named Sitara. So if Meera speaks Hindi. She gets to talk with the cutest seven-year-old in the game. \o/

Blythe Merrick (somuchheart) is the Ace of Hearts. She entered the Deck at the age of 19 and worked her way up quickly through the ranks. Like, super quickly. At the age of 22, she was a Ten. Now, at 23, she's Ace. Sweet, caring, efficient, exactly as you'd expect a Heart to be. She's also a perfectionist and a bit of a worrier. Before she came to the Deck, she was on her way to being an Olympic gymnast. Now that she's in the Deck, she's also excellent with knives. But... right now, smiles are her favorite. XD She's also super short (5'2"), which leads people to underestimate her often.

Piper (eucre) is a Joker. A little crazy, a little ridiculous, super cute and not so coherent. She's been on the Deck for coming up on 21 years. Her actual name is Felicia Chives and she's the younger sister of the Spade butler. Though. Personality and memory disorders aren't really helping her get used to that. Basically she likes popping up in people's lives and being silly. :D

Riley James (standlikestone), Four of Hearts, used to be the most partiful party girl ever. She is a sports education teacher for kiddies at Deck school (though she's quitting after this semester). She turned 20 years old this week and is trying to change from the drinking, sexing girl she was to a proper James Woman in anticipation of becoming Head of the Family next year. Still. She is fun and ridiculous and loves to meet people and is just a tad flirty. Just a little.

Melinda Pan (rarelight) is the cutest Four of Diamonds, and Head Butler. She tries her best to be an emotionless linefacing master of efficiency, but really... she's a cutie and likes kids and wanted to be a kindergarten teacher and somehow ended up on the household staff instead. Her whole family is involved in service to the Suit, so she's looked upon pretty favorably by the rest of her family. Just... she's not absolutely happy.

And finally (/pant pant), we have Evangeline Darcey Mae Huntly (this journal), Eight of Hearts, also known as Edie. Or Edie Mae. She's a learning resources specialist / college and academic counselor in the Deck schools and she loves music. She can sing and play a variety of instruments, which is how she got up to Eight in the first place. She's 28, but acts more like she's 18. She's all about ~reclaiming her youth~. Meera probably knows that two years ago, she had a breakup with her boyfriend of three years, Alasdair Dewitt (Muzy's character!). They were the Deck's favorite couple basically and everyone wanted them to get married. And. She broke up with him. So. XD

That's all!! Please do not be intimidated okay I sort of just vomited over this intro but I am so pleased to meet you and am super looking forward to playing with Meena in the future! ♠♠♠♠

Heya!

Yes, I'd love for Meera and Adrien to be childhood friends. She does speak some limited Hindi, so she'll joke with Sitara about her totally lame dad.

Meera will probably fangirl Blythe hard, seeing as she's an Ace. They can also bond over being shortasses.

Riley sounds fantastic. Meera could do with more flirty, fun people in her life. She's a major stick in the mud, so maybe she could help Riley rein in her wild side.

aaa, looking forward to playing with you, too! Feel free to throw any characters at Meera. I'm pretty crap at talking through CR ahead of time. I'm much much more comfortable thinking on my feet.

That will work yay!!! \o/ (and shh I might be apping a Six of Spades who is Indian and fab so >.> Maybe maybe we'll see~)

WHAT FANGIRL WHAT Blythe will just blush quietly and bond over being really short and underestimated ugh.

YES this would be appreciated~ Mommy and Granny James will approve. B|

sdkfjsdl I'm really excited too! And lol me too as evidenced by my vomitting of unnecessary information JUST. We will play and figure it out~
