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?

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. :)

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.

Then she's likely met Jordan, who is available for reference questions but marginally less obsessive than Sophie about People. Touching. The. BOOKS. OMG.

I'm down with that. And they will have intellectual conversation, omg. And tea. Just because.

We're all about the tea in the Deck. And God knows Jordan doesn't get very many intellectual conversations. XD

...we really are, aren't we? Probably why everyone's so cardio-healthy, come to think of it. WE WILL HAVE TO REMEDY THIS LATTER. IMMEDIATELY.

Elisha and Zoe are both supplicants to the coffee gods. XD

Okay, everyone start smoking.

Coffee's good, fuels the creative process. .........and kills your kidneys with the caffeine but eh.

A miasma over the Castles, fffffff. That'd be hilarious, actually, if not horrible for the asthmatics.
