Le Salon! (Formerly the Court Threade!)

[Delling]

As the teller at fault, I extend my apologies. It was three years or more since I last saw the film and I recalled only the fairy tale aspects, not the grim gory war story aspects. (I have to add that I have recently seen worse! If you can believe it... though thankfully, we turned that move off after the first fifteen minutes (which included the gouging out of an eye ).)

[darthkiwi]

I was told it was a 'fun' film

Uh... no. Not really.

Well - having said that, I thought it was very enjoyable. But then I do err towards the macabre.

we turned that move off after the first fifteen minutes (which included the gouging out of an eye)

Shakespeare got there first, ha! Onstage, as well! (Sorry, random moment of Bard fandom.)

So your queen is also the scout then?

Only a truly noble queen is willing to put herself right on the frontline, serving her citizens to the fullest extent! All hail &c. (And, yes, this knowledge is garnered exclusively from chess.)

A warm welcome back for our intrepid queen.
Thank you. Cheesy

You are most welcome  

[Deloria]

I am happy. Reason? HAT.

King Lear is not my favourite play. In part for this reason.

I decided that since Lijar had made peace with France, it couldn't be so very terrible or hostile.

Nice hat! Though it looks like one of the pictures comes from a mirror universe.

[B'rrr]

yea, i had to look twice if she just swapped the hair and handbag, but then i saw the buildings were different aswell 

[Deloria]

Yes, I hate Irfanview. I accidentally rotated it the wrong way and decided to just flip it upside down rather than pressing the button two more times.

[Delling]

*likes the way your hair cascades to your shoulder* Very pretty, the beauty of a queene, no?

[darthkiwi]

Ah, I did wonder about that.

The hat is very civilised! It seems the sort of hat people wear to garden parties or to centres of cultural significance. Your flowing autumnal hair complements it nicely - also, I can see why this was your previous avatar:

King Lear is not my favourite play.

Yay, somebody got the reference!  If you think Lear is bad, you should see Titus Andronicus. "What's that my dear? I can't make out what you're trying to say because your tongue has been cut out. You want to carry my severed hand but both your own hands have been cut off so you'll have to pick it up with your teeth? Why, yes, that would be very helpful, especially since I have my hands full with these severed heads." I am not joking, this is how Act III scene i ends.

And people say Shakespeare is boring...

Milady looks gorgeous as always.

Reading macabre plays shall be a wonderful outlet for my misanthropy and stabby tendencies.

Oddly enough, she is a member of the Royal Horticultural Society, but it was not a garden party. And thank you.

That's the spirit! You can kill as many people as you like as long as it's fictional!

Oddly enough, she is a member of the Royal Horticultural Society, but it was not a garden party.

Ah, so the person in the picture isn't you?  In that case, my hair comment makes no sense at all.

On the other hand, I did finally get a chance to use the smiley, so it's swings and roundabouts.

No, no... the person pictured is indeed regina nostra, our queene. I believe she is referring to the person whom she was visiting.

And thus I am forced to... *steals darthkiwi's Oops! sign and runs away*

Brandon: sees your post in your court thread
does that mean I'm under arrest?
me:
Of course not.
Just pointing out that it might not be a good idea.
Brandon: aww... was looking forward to being arrested I can go down for "crimes against the empire"
me:
Brandon: and that's just an awesome charge to have on your record
me: All right.
But you'll probably get pardoned.
Brandon: oh really?
lowers his voice to a whisper and speaks parenthetically (mais oui... you see, I know the queene...)
me:
Doesn't everyone say that?
Brandon: say what? that they know the queene?
me: Yes.
Brandon: hmph... well, I know her better than they
it will be very embarrassing for your forces when they present me before you for sentencing

*has Delling arrested*

[darthkiwi]

No, not the Oops sign! I need that to make mistakes! 

No, no... the person pictured is indeed regina nostra, our queene. Yes I believe she is referring to the person whom she was visiting.

Ah, thank you. Misunderstanding contained and nullified!

[crayauchtin]

Ah, thank you. Misunderstanding contained and nullified!

*fires misunderstanding nullification ray*

....what? What's the point if we can't have some special effects??

[darthkiwi]

*fires misunderstanding nullification ray*

Not in the court, please! You've got scorch-marks everywhere from all that informative exposition! We'll have to get the super-fancy blindingly-gilt baroque interior decorators in again!

[crayauchtin]

I don't know, I think the scorch marks add a nice touch. They give the place a sort of "lived in" feel.

[darthkiwi]

[It is the 30th of December, 1170 AD. Scene: Interior, Canterbury Cathedral. There are two clerics here.]

CLERIC 1: Well... that's that, then.

CLERIC 2: Poor Archbishop Becket... To end like that... All over the walls and floor, too...

CLERIC 1: We really should clean his blood off the stones of this holy cathedral, where hundreds of people kneel and worship each day.

CLERIC 2: I think the blood gives it a sort of... you know, lived in feel. Cosy. 

[Deloria]

[An hour before that]

King Henry II: *sighs* WHO WILL RID ME OF THIS TURBULENT PRIEST?

I want this. http://www.sothebys.com/app/ecatalogue/ecat.do?dispatch=displayImageViewer&lot_id=159536287&SIZE=smaller Badly. Why did no one tell me the Romanov crown jewels were being sold on Southeby's in 2007? *pouts*

[darthkiwi]

Yay, you got the obscure reference!
