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:

A dancing bear, if you are truly asking my opinion. And you don't need to tell me of the foolery of the intelligent. I am well aware. I studied under some very great fools.

[conqueredhearts]

Ah but are you one yourself? I should hope something took by studying under them!

[degenere]

Well. I am wearing one of the crowns now.

But largely as practice. I should not like for anyone to think that we might be rigging this vote in some way. Any one could be named the Fool. You don't need to have studied at a university.

[conqueredhearts]

Well I would not know enough about this to know if the voting is rigged as you say! [He chuckles.]

If others are crowned the Fool rather than I then this will be enjoyable for me as well. It seems a good celebration no matter who wears the crown and I look forward to it!

[degenere]

What a spirit you have, monsieur! We could make you your own crown, if you lose.

[conqueredhearts]

I would wear it proudly. As one should always wear any crown presented.

[degenere]

Then it is decided. No matter the results of this contest, you must present yourself for your coronation.

[conqueredhearts]

It is a deal. No matter the results I will bring myself there so I might be given another crown instead.

[degenere]

Very good, monsieur. And should you receive the fool's crown: two crowns. There is hardly anything so foolish as a man wearing two crowns.

[conqueredhearts]

Make certain that you have the second crown and I will kneel down you can place it upon my head with the first.

[degenere]

What an honor that will be. It is enough that I might commission a painting of it. I shall have to see.

[conqueredhearts]

A painting? My, you really are honored if you will see to that much. Perhaps we should both have one of the same painting so more might behold it.

[degenere]

An excellent suggestion. Rather small paintings, worn about the neck on a chain? Like a locket--but a locket always left open. No secrets.

[conqueredhearts]

Good! I enjoy having no secrets. Let the world know all there is about what will take place and even about myself.
