In reply to The GM (msg # 339):
Ariadne engaged herself fully in the conversation with the Minos ambassador. She was well versed in similar historical settings, both from her father's insistence on academics in general, and, weirdly, Shakespeare in particular. Perhaps many characters had reminded Lord Arrington of Amber, especiallythr Medici family and the many corrupt popes. She'd also done her own research, probably more than was needed, in her roles as a 17th century duelist and a Roman era viking.
And, she had to admit, she'd always loved pirates, perhaps because of their rebellious, independence (granted, she would later learn that most of the 'wild times'of pirates was more a product of Hollywood, rather than history).
If the ambassador was trying to startle or scandalize Ariadne, and make the foreign woman blush at the antics of the rough shadows, he'd be very disappointed, as the cynical and dark humored Ari was entranced, like a soap opera fan during sweeps week.
The GM:
Jade:
Jade just pleasantly listens to all the conversations going on and when talk of other shadows comes up if she can hear it she will pay closer attention.
"I mean, what about this 'Earth' Shadow one sometimes hears about? I understand the Begma problem with advanced machines, but surely many textiles would cross over...? Or what about..."
OOC Did Ari hear this? I'm thinking she was somewhat oblivious, given her fascination with the other conversation, but hearing 'Earth' might get her attention
