I Blame Retch...Prophecy post-P2.5 story

vdanskClearly this is not my fault. I was just minding my own business, balancing work, kids, call, and the homework assignment due next week, and Retch had to make a comment about thumbing our noses at snooty relatives. And the framework of a story sprang, full-grown, with sword and helmet, into my head.
So...if there is anyone who would reasonably like to attend the Naming Ceremony for the child Alethia has designated her heir, or who would be in Rachenza during the chaos to follow, please email me. It takes place some time in September, this year. Retch has no choice, it's his fault. Lettie really should be there too. The Maddington School For Gifted Children contingent would be very useful. Samarra may be too pregnant to travel, but Alethia'd like her there. (Besides, doesn't she need to go to Rachenza to marry Tlena and Truman?) I figure that Stone will be back on his farm. Could Liana make it? I could use our Aquamancer for a plot point if Selara could justify being there. Any volunteers? Please be aware that Alethia will take unholy amusement in scandalizing her relatives...who have no recourse, because Mama Liisa told her to invite whomever she wished.
Just to be really unreasonable, she'd also invite Iortash On, and Sage Prospera, and the Captain of the ship who brought them back to Arden. Not likely they'd come, but, oh, the fun if they did.... Hmm...would it be presumptuous to invite their majesties, or rude NOT to? And it would be so funny if there were an excuse to get John's elf who was courting Samarra there. "This is the fellow she married? She preferred HIM to ME?!"
OK, if my homework doesn't get done on time, I'm definitely blaming you guys.

Date: 2009-06-09 12:59 am (UTC)Alethia is quite willing to talk about dalliance openly--which, Sevi's take aside, is not "sleeping around". It's closer to "serial monogamy". She is, however, quite discriminating when it comes to actually starting a dalliance. And even more so when it looks like a dalliance has the potential to become something more.
And, in direct answer to your question: yes.
