a friendly wager

[rowancrowned]

FORM: Sending crystal as well as notices in the Tavern + Great Hall.
SENDER: Thranduil
RECIPIENT: All the Inquisition!
WHAT: Thranduil issues a challenge.
WHEN: First of Bloomingtide, contest itself set on 8th Bloomingtide
WHERE: Skyhold.
NOTES: Possibly fixed contests, Thranduil trolling for allies. See notes!

[ thranduil sends his message later in the afternoon, his polite, deep voice precise and careful as he first greets, then settles down to the mear of the matter: ]

Good afternoon. I am Thranduil, a rifter, arrived last month. [ he pauses, to catch the attention of whomever might have their crystal nearby. ] I seek to return the hospitality shown to my son and I. I propose an archery contest, open to all residents of Skyhold. For the winner, fifty crowns. The next-best, twenty, and the third- ten.

[ where did he get the money? who knows shh. ]

Those interested should come to treeline in the valley on the eighth of Bloomingtide at noon.

[ he stops, as if he might be finished, but then: ]

And further, if anyone finds themselves able to beat my son, Legolas, I will offer them their choice of ring from my fingers. [ he sounds, already, terribly amused. ]



((ooc: SO this is mostly for thranduil and legolas to court allies. people are free to challenge him in an attempt to win a ring! but it is legolas shooting so. the money prizes will be rng'd.))

You sail through the void as a captain through the sea?

[ clarity is very important. and he's curious, too. ]

It seems an honor, still.

That's one way of putting it, yes. My job was to visit other planets in my world, for a number of reasons, though when I came here my main mission was discovering new ones and new cultures.

_{[ It's as close as anyone else has come to understanding it, and space is technically a void, and his ship does sail through it. So, yes, very apt Thranduil. ]}

It is. I inherited her from the former captain, a very dear friend of mine.

_{[ He's going to skate over all the terrible events that actually got him to that point, shall he? ]}
