Greetings, y'all.

Emma here with Card number 3, ironically a Three of Diamonds, Lelial Scott-Hughes. Not from the Deck originally, she's a writer from the Outside who made her living and fortune writing inspirational books, poetry, memoirs, ect. Full info is here, feel free to browse. She's been part of the Suit for about a year, but has only recently returned from Outside where she's been promoting her latest publication and is more than glad to be escaping the hustle and bustle which that entails.

A further note: Lelial was not born blind, but rather suffered a traumatic accident during childhood (of which she has never spoken nor has ever been disclosed to the public) and had to learn to live with her handicap. She overcame countless obstacles and trials to achieve an independent adulthood and semblance of a normal life. She has a deep passion for helping others with abnormalities, but prefers to remain aloof from the spotlight, instead letting her works speak for her in the public venue. Her writing success has made a considerable difference in her life, as money always smooths even the roughest terrain, but financial stability is secondary to her need to share her innermost thoughts and connect with others on a wide scale.

Despite her handicap, she remembers voices very well and can still use a keyboard to write and a pencil/pen, if necessary. She also reads Braille very well. Her vision is not gone completely, (IE: she doesn't exist in total darkness) but she can differentiate between "light" and "dark", and makes her way through her surroundings well, despite lacking visual cue. Just...don't ask her what happened for her to lose her sight, because she won't tell you.

So. CR anyone?

I suspect Avery is the only one of mine Lelial would possibly know well. She would have been a Nine when Lelial arrived in the Deck and in charge of the Diamond Kitchens and Household Management. Likely they ran into each other for one reason or another, particularly if Lelial needed any modifications to her rooms to deal with her disability. She might be slightly surprised that Avery's advanced from Nine to Jack since the beginning of the year?

Other than that, I doubt she'd know my other Cards, but she might run across Urania when she's visiting Isaac and Leigh, and Zoë when she's visiting Sophie. There might not be much reason for her to interact with Elisha or Jordan.

Yes on all points re: Avery. XD Lelial hasn't been gone long, maybe three months or so, but since Avery's promotion was recent, she'd be out of the loop fo' sho. She might seek out Jordan for Deck history at some point, or some other sort of reference material for inspiration or something for her writings, but I doubt she'd even know 'lisha, true. :)

[uncutclarity.livejournal.com]

What was her challenge for Three, just out of curiosity?

And yes, Avery challenged for Ten in January and two weeks later Suddenly Jack. XD Jordan would be happy to help with any of that sort of thing. I think Sophie's trying to organize some sort of process for Deck History, but that's mostly for Arcana stuff because all the librarians are getting the same questions over and over. Otherwise, the Heart Library runs towards fairy tales, fiction, history, ethics and philosophy.

Recitation. Whomever could recite more of Blake's "The Tyger", with emphasis and feeeeeeling won.

Ooh, yes, she'd definitely gravitate more towards the Heart's library, at least for starters.

Three of Diamonds buddies! Isaac here will most certainly know her. He has the unfortunate habit of drifting around completely silently, but usually comes bearing tea, not any kind of threat. If she does her writing on-Deck, I'm sure he's come many a time to her desk or whatever with dinner on a tray and "Eat. Now." on his lips. He's been here since forever.

[within-thedark.livejournal.com]

/BROFIST

Well, she'd probably hear the clink of the tea setting, so he doesn't scare the life out of her with his creepiness XD. But yes, she does her writings in and around the Suit, in the gardens when the weather's nice and more than likely has a niche accumulated in one of the studies somewhere. She writes via word processing; the software transcribes her voice to her laptop, but every so often, she'll type, too. And the program will read back what she's written. It's verrah cool.

She will most definitely appreciate the bringing of tea; she's British so she adores a good strong blend. She's a finicky eater, though, so I'm sure that will be a bone of contention between them. XD

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

/♥

Oh, he'd make her aware once he was there, just... no warning of approach whatsoever. :| Unfortunately he is just creepy like that. He doesn't meeaan toooo. And no getting past Isaac with eating regularly. If she's fussy, he'll make everything Just So and Perfect. Though he pretty much lives on tea, so. He can also handle that. Maybe.

If she likes to go a-wandering for writing in the good weather, she might meet some of my others. Jimmy (zhuludovi) is a Bulgarian farmer who's always walking around with his over nine thousand animals, and Garrett (harpheart) is an aspiring musician who can do the music but struggles with the lyrics. This could be Relevant.

[within-thedark.livejournal.com]

AND DID I MENTION: Lelial's not fond of cats. They make her sneeze. She and Isaac will be besties, totes.

Depending on how far Jimmy's farm is from "familiar" territory, she'd definitely stop in and say hello. Maybe stroll over with another Card or two, idk. LOL, she'd definitely help Garrett out. DID I MENTION SHE ENJOYS SINGING, TOO? She's not as proficient at it as Elani, probably, but she doesn't squawk either.

[theloudestroar.livejournal.com]

... Adrien-love. :3 LOL all the Diamonds just need to be enveloped with Adrien's love. He adores his Suit so much. :3

[within-thedark.livejournal.com]

LOL HOW DID I KNOW.

He can help her shop, too.

[theloudestroar.livejournal.com]

Oh, most certainly. And he will continuously compliment her on her good looks too. Because holy cow, she's really gorgeous. :3

[graceandwit.livejournal.com]

They're definitely acquainted if not friends, though it would be nice to have someone to have intellectual conversations with because, Club though she may be, she is still Mommy's girl in some ways. She can be added to the biscuit list?

[within-thedark.livejournal.com]

Abbbsolutely and deffffinitely. Sitting down and talking about things is always good. And gurls gotta stick together, yo.

[graceandwit.livejournal.com]

/knows all the important people's favorite yummies and Avery needs to be buried in muffins for all the stuff she deals with.

Will Leliel allow her to actually make tea? Because neither of the butlers do and I suspect Karin probably looks Dissaproving whenever she catches her.

[thediamondqueen.livejournal.com]

Queenly one here will definitely know her! And Callie might by name, because she's live Outside and might have been forced to encouraged to read her books after Galen died? :P

[within-thedark.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh, I approve of both of this. Very much so. Yes yes yes. Lei will even sign some books for Callie, idk?

[thediamondqueen.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaay! :D askdkajl *grabbyhands* yesplz

[maskofhearts.livejournal.com]

I don't know that any of mine would really know her. Hadyn might eventually run into her though? The others- Ceiro's often times busy at his job, and Victor's....a silent staring typing.

[within-thedark.livejournal.com]

.....Victor would creep her out, poor thing. XD Hadyn would prolly cross her path, yeah. Passing acquaintances and the like.

[piquedbutler.livejournal.com]

...missed this.

My only thought is that my only Card with a real reason to know her is Cadogan. And... probably really they don't, you know.

Talk much.

... /unhelpful

[within-thedark.livejournal.com]

HE CAN USE HER LAPTOP. It has a voice over program that reads back type. :D /considered this earlier. ♥♥♥

[diemwnt.livejournal.com]

....will it read Welsh.


Will it read Welsh so he can huff at her and her London-ness.

[oneirophiliac.livejournal.com]

Säde might be marginally aware of her as 'that blind Three'. Sorry :| Leigh wouldn't know her, I think, depending on how long she's been away from the castle. Did she leave before or after September?

[within-thedark.livejournal.com]

Lol, 's okay. Lelial is indifferent to Sade's....indifference, fff. She left....I think right before Christmas, so Leigh might know her, actually.

[ishineon.livejournal.com]

Noted and understood!
