Satinalia Fool Voting

[apologist]

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:

Like examples on how not to act? [She is so confused.]

[conqueredhearts]

A fool is usually one with imagination greater than all others. They create and provide new insight for us. Perhaps for what not to do but also for what can be done if there is nothing to hold them back.

[sistertohermen]

Did everyone suddenly decide 'fool' has a different meaning or what, because that's usually an insult, like where I'm from.

[conqueredhearts]

Anything can be an insult if you allow it to be. Words only have power if one gives them that power.

[sistertohermen]

I'm sure there are plenty of elves who would take a real issue with that stance.

[conqueredhearts]

In that case I would say it is safe to say that their trials go beyond words. To compare the two seems almost unfair when the cruelties they have endured have stretched past the mere use of words. At least that is what I have gathered during my short time here.
