Satinalia Fool Voting

FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Baroness Frédérique Durfort-Lacapalette, Brother Jehan Mercier, and Valentine Nicasius Maxence Mérovée Olivier de Foncé
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Deciding on a Satinalia Fool
WHEN: Now
WHERE: Everywhere
NOTES:These threads are made for jacking, and that's just what they'll do. One of these days these threads are gonna yeah okay never mind.


Inquisition! We have for you a list of nominees for your Satinalia Fools. We say Fools, plural, because we have many fine nominees and two crowns - we think they may be crowns. We removed them from the heads of statues in some temple or another. Perhaps they were symbols of shame rather than nobility? None of us is qualified to say, but the statues were very small compared to some others, and - [ an abrupt end to the rambling ] - we will assume they are close enough to crowns to crown Fools. Valentine has been testing them and looks very Foolish.

Two Fools, then. If they cannot cooperate we will give each one half of the courtyard during the festivities and they may, éventuellement, stage a battle between their kingdoms.

We have placed a box outside the tavern where you can place the name of the nominee you wish to support. Please only choose once. The Maker does not endorse cheating. If you do not believe in the Maker then whatever you do believe in likely does not endorse cheating, either, though, again, none of us is qualified to say. If you believe in a god that does endorse cheating, please find it in your own heart to practice restraint.

If you have any questions we are happy to answer them, of course! But first Freddie will read for you our list of nominees:

As a relatively famous hero of some noteworthiness, do we dare to profane his name with the title of Fool? Do we dare to stoop his heroic brow with a crown? Do we dare?

We do.

But it is something to think about. And there is a handsomeness to him that would not lend itself well to a crown. The jaw, too broad. The hair, too - hairy. Everything at once so noble and yet, so bland. Foolish indeed! And likely smells of dog.

[ A lot of people put a lot of time and personal sacrifice into ensuring hat he would never wear a crown and you will never take him alive. He would ignore this altogether, and just conscript the crown if it came to that, but.

But. ]


Bland? Now I might cry.

Please don't. And if you do, direct your tears in Freddie's direction. That was her word, not mine.

I said 'oatmeal'.

To which I objected and still do object. Oatmeal may be bland alone, but put other things in it and it can be far more interesting.

...though perhaps the same is true of Monsieur Alistair? I should hate to assume.

More interesting if you put other things in him, do you mean? Hm.
