“I don’t think we’ve met yet.” (From @samurulantis for any)

Lance hung off towards the side of the room. These parties were exhausting. So much socializing to be done. Reputations to be upheld. He runs a hand through his dark hair as he looked out over the various pairs of dancers.

There was only a small sparking of longing. He wished he had been able to at the very least invite Miu to attend with him. It might not have worked out between them romantically but at least they were still friends. Then he would not be at yet another party alone. At least someone to speak with that was not seeking an easy way into the graces of his grandfather.

“I don’t think we’ve met yet.” 

Lance slipped back into that calm and charming demeanor he usually wore when dealing with people at these parties. His eyes settled on the woma… No that was definitely a man. A very feminine one at that. Shorter then himself. He had to mentally scold himself for mistaking the man for a lady at first glance.

“No I do not believe we have. Well then it is an honor to make your acquaintance. Lancefer Aurifore of House Haillenarte at your service.” He gave the man a polite bow, keeping a charming smile on his face until he knew if the man just wished to be pleasant or if he was after something. Though he had a feeling this was more to just be nice then anything else.

“Have we met before?” – Lance

Lance let out a heavy sigh as he looked into the room of people gathered for the ball. He had endured so many of these over the years. Well balls. Not really Masquerades. So thankfully even if he had to endure yet another party for the sake of appearances, he was hidden behind a mask of black and gold.

Sure this was yet another way for his family to try an get him situated with a bride. He wasn’t interested in the ladies they tried to pair him with. They were all so fake and weak. Not to mention none of them had really caught his eye. If he was going to take a mate, he wanted someone who could stand beside him. Not someone who would cower behind him. Twenty eight an still unmatched. No wonder his family considered him unfit to be the heir. That was fine with him.

He spotted his mother in the distance speaking with a lady in red. He grimaced. Probably another attempt at his family to make a match for him.

“Have we met before?”

Lance quickly forgot his thoughts as he was spoken to. Sky blue eyes looked out from the mask to the elezen woman who had spoken to him. His head tilted in thought as he tried to remember if they had ever met before. However it was hard while wearing masks.

“I’m afraid I can not say with these masks everyone is wearing this evening. It is quite possible we may have met in passing yet not actually ever met in person.” Lance told her as he bowed politely. His eyes caught his mother an the lady in red moving their way. Lance gently took the arm of the viscountess with an apologetic smile. “Pardon my forwardness. You may have just become my saving grace. It seems my mother have taken it upon herself to try an pair me off again. I do hope you don’t mind playing along for a moment for the sake of this poor knight?”

“Did you really think hiding your cheek bones was going to fool anyone?”
“Do I…know you?”
“Have we met before?”
“Are you sure I don’t know you?”
“Your eyes are absolutely captivating.”
“I don’t think we’ve met yet.”
“May I have this dance?”
“You look positively enchanting this evening.”
“I’d know those dazzling eyes anywhere.”
“These skirts make it so hard to move.”
“Some of these costumes are so extravagant. They must have cost a fortune.”
“You look quite ravishing in that dress.”
“You look quite handsome in that suit.”
“Can I see your face?”
“I don’t think you want to see my face.”
“My God, you could fit an entire circus under her pannier. How’d she even fit through the door?”
“Champagne?”
“My feet are killing me.”
“I never thought I’d see you in something so fancy.”
“I feel like I’m rubbing elbows with the queen right now.”
“Care to sneak away with me? I doubt we will be missed.”
“Can you guess who I am under here?”
“I’d compliment your beauty, but I can’t see it under there. You’ll have to accept my compliments to your mask instead, it’s quite lovely.”
“I can’t hear you through that mask. Did you really have to choose one that covers your mouth?”
“Do you know who I am?”
“Do you know who she is?”
“Do you know who he is?”
“You’re very light on your feet.”
“Ow! It’s like you have two left feet.”
“I’m a terrible dancer.”
“Who cares if you’re a good dancer? Have fun! No one will know it’s you anyway!”
“No one’s asked me to dance all night…”
“I feel like I’m in a dream!”
“Can we please go home? This is torture.”
“How did I ever let you talk me into coming here?”
“I prefer watching from the sidelines to participating.”
“You’ve spent the entire evening at the snack table.”
“Can I cut in?”
“I have to go.”
“I’m not supposed to be here. If they catch me I’m in trouble!”
“Please. What is your name? I want to see you again.”

(Okay reblogging again cause I want to. An cause I wanna see if I can get some more of these to do. Maybe for Lance even. Or Karigan. Dest got three last time. They were quite fun to do.)

Plant Personality Quiz

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

Echinacea

A protector. With an amazing blend of optimism, nurturing and goodwill,
you lend your strength and energy to those in need. Your seemingly
infinite goodwill and boundless supportive energy make you the one
people turn to when times are tough. Your greatest strength is, of
course, also one of your weaknesses, especially if you neglect to take
care of yourself. At times like these, it’s a good idea to take a step
back and focus some of that protective energy on yourself. 

Fennel

You’re quiet, sometimes shy, with a tendency to be reserved. You have a
humble, kind nature and often find yourself taking care of others. You
can be known to hold things in, and you don’t always speak up for
yourself. This tendency to hold things in can lead to disturbances.

Nettle

Truly a nurturing and supportive friend, you’re the kind of person that
just isn’t for everyone. But those who take the time are rewarded with
your gentle disposition, and the kind of friendship that does a person
good no matter the difficulty they’re facing. When out of balance, you
can become more prickly than supportive or nurturing, though—a sign that
you need to shower yourself with the same kind of nurturing you so
freely give to others.

Quiz from here

(Did the other two because I wanted to. Just dropping them behind a cut to reduce the scrolling pain. XD)

Dandelion

Scrappy and tough, you’re a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps kind of
person. You don’t give up easily and you often thrive in situations that
others would find discouraging. You have an instinct to serve others
and see yourself as most useful in times or places of crisis, but you
may over rely on your toughness and forget how sensitive you really are. 

Ginger

Spirited. A feisty and fiery companion, quick with an opinion, a laugh
or an idea. Warm, friendly and inviting, you never allow an awkward
moment to pass. In fact, even cold and distant people warm up to you
more quickly than others. Negative experiences or too much indulgence,
however, can send you into a bit of a tailspin, and when hurt you may
become quite cold and distant. Ginger people do best when their natural
warmth and affection is flowing freely, giving them easy access to their
love of life.

Slippery Elm

Let’s just say you’re a vocal person. Sure, that might mean you’re
chatty. But it also means you’re the one humming in the hallway, singing
in the shower, speaking your mind, standing up and shouting if need be
to get yourself heard. You’ve got a voice and you know how to use it.
Inclined to speak up for the voiceless, defend the defenseless or simply
bring joy to the joyless, you may have a tendency to overuse your
voice.

Second 11 Questions

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Okay and the second set! Tagged by @winterdeepelegy for these. Answer for both Destiney and Lance again.)

1. If your character was allowed to murder one person without any consequences, who would that person be and why?

“Whatever Garlean bastard decided on that fight that took my father’s life. He’s the one person I will never forgive. If I wanted to stain my hands with further blood it would be his.” – Destiney

“No one. I would not murder anyone. Not even because I hate them. Any who die by my blade it is because they deserved it for trying to attack something I am sworn to protect. In which case it is no longer murder.” – Lance

2. If your character had one thing to say to their parents before they died, what would it be?

“I love you and I’m so sorry.” – Destiney (OOC: Mostly in answer to the fact she did lose her father an the last time she saw him she never said good-bye and was angry with her parents.)

“I know you have never really approved of my choices but I do not regret them. I’m sorry that we could never come to an understanding an fix what was lost between us.” – Lance

3. Does your character get restless when things are too quiet or do they favour solitude and silence? Why?

“I favor solitude and silence most of the time. I’m not a fan of crowded places. Though I do also enjoy the noise of the Order. They are lively but they are family.” – Destiney

“The silence makes me restless. It usually comes before an attack. But… Noise can also make it hard to hear what is coming. So it is a bit of a mixed feeling. If I am somewhere safe then the silence can be a bit of a bother.” – Lance

4. Your character has been granted 3 wishes; what would they wish for and why?

“My family to be whole again for certain. The death of my father broke our family apart I feel. Leon to not have passed on so soon. I did not have enough time to appreciate everything he had to offer to me. And I would wish I was a better person. That I didn’t have these moments of such dark thoughts or anger that I hurt those I love with words that are not always meant.” – Destiney

“I would wish my family was not so stuck in ways long past. I want them to realize how foolish it is. I wish I could have saved Lord Choldebaimt at the Steel Vigil. He was a great man and did not deserve the fate he ended up with. An for Miu to be happy no matter what happens. My life will always have an element of danger to it. I don’t want to see her lose that smile if something happens to me.” – Lance

5. How does your character tell someone they love them without words?

“Hugs. They are the best way to say this without words. Without making someone believe I want more from them then their precious presence in my life.” – Destiney

“I find this hard to answer. I guess through my undying loyalty. I have only loved a few ladies in my days. My job has been my love for so long I’m a bit out of touch with the world an acceptable behavior.” – Lance

6. As a child, what did your character think they would be when they grew up?

“I thought I would be like my father. A member of the Gods’ Quiver. However things did not go as planned. Now I’m a healer like my mother. Oh the irony of it.” – Destiney

“I thought I would be a knight like my father and grandfather. I did become just that. However I did not join Dzemael. I chose Haillenarte instead. Not a decision I regret.” – Lance

7. Would your character ever cheat to accomplish something?

“That… Would depend what was at stake. Gambling? Bartering? No. It would have to be life or death to cheat. I don’t find cheating acceptable.” – Destiney

“Never. I am above such behavior.” – Lance

8. What does your character view as their worst personality trait?

“
Neuroticism. My emotions are not always stable. The worst my week is going the more likely I am going to be in very dark places in my emotional state.” – Destiney

“I can be
Obsessive. When I find something like the rumors of Lord Chlodebaimt’s spirit… I will not stop till I find out if there is any truth of these rumors.” – Lance

9. What’s something that really repulses them?

“Slimey creatures. Anything slimey in general. Keep it away!” – Destiney

“I refuse to answer…” – Lance (OOC: Actually… I haven’t really picked anything for Lance. XD I probably should.)

10. Which one of the five senses is most important to them?

“Touch. Being able to touch someone an know it is not a dream. That they are real an here.” – Destiney

“Sight. Being able to see. See what might be coming and fight back. Seeing Miu’s smiling face. If I had to live my life in darkness without sight… It would be sad world.” – Lance

11. What was something they struggled with greatly and how did they overcome it?

(OOC: I actually answered this question days ago. ^^ So I’ll just link that answer cause I don’t want to shorten it any for here. http://nebula1984.tumblr.com/post/153002258756/11-and-15 )

First 11 Questions

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Okay so I got tagged for two different sets of 11 Questions. XD This should be interesting! I’ll do the ones @eyesseeingbeyondtheveil tagged me with first. Answering for both Destiney and Lance.)

1: How did your character meet their best friend?

“I met Chee and Arthur when I first started as a freelance healer working with other adventurers or mercenaries. I think it was in Ul’dah as we all signed up to work with the Immortal Flames. They were a blessing in a world where I felt lost on where to even begin.” – Destiney

“Best friend… I do not have one. Not unless one counts my duty. There are people I speak with but none that I trust deep enough. Though… I guess Lady Miu could be counted as one though what we share I hope is also more then just that.” – Lance

2: What would your character die for?

“The people I love. I wouldn’t give a second thought of sacrificing myself for them. My life isn’t worth the lives of everyone I love and cherish. My husband, my free company, my friends. Everyone of their lives is worth more then mine alone. If I can give back to them the life that was saved so long ago from the brink of death… Then without a doubt my life for theirs.” – Destiney

“My country, my family, Lady Miu. I am a knight an my life is pledged to Ishgard. If they send me to fight and I die then it was my fate. I pray that Halone though would take mercy upon me. I have so much life left to fight with. I am not ready to return to her hallowed halls just yet but if it is what must be done then I will do it willingly.” – Lance

3: What is the cutest thing your character has ever done?

OOC Destiney: Probably being teased endlessly about her obsession with certain types of elezen. She tends to get very shy and blush around them, sometimes stammering or rambling in her embarrassment. Certain people in the FC even go as far as to tease her about butt biting. She hasn’t done such a thing but it often leaves her flustered if there is a cute guy around.

OOC Lance: Oh gawd. His whole relationship with Miu is entirely adorable right now. It makes me happy enough to giggle at this sap. He’s a hopeless romantic. Just watching these two interacting is so damn cute.

4: What is your character’s deepest, darkest secret?

OOC Destiney: I answered something like this in a ask a short while ago. So I’ll try to summarize. She has bad reactions to Garlean bases due to an old incident. An because she is still healing emotionally she has moments of self-destructive tendencies. An she can not fight other people because of her incident. Partly personal choice and partly because she simply can’t make herself do it.

OOC Lance: He won’t willing admit he’s scared for the future. He’s at a very thin edge with his family an the fall honestly scares him. He’d rather face down dragons or heretics then admit how scared he is for what the future holds if his family casts him out.

5: What is the most surprising thing about your character?

OOC Destiney: I had never intended Destiney to be such a emotionally broken mess. I never thought she’d make me cry some days. Quite literally. I wanted her to have a bit of turmoil in her past but it evolved into something a bit darker then originally planned. But for her it works. It just and I can’t explain it. I guess what surprises me most is finding a FC willing to take an deal with her crap an give me such acceptance despite Dest being such an idiot at times. 🙂

OOC Lance: I had intended Lance to be more… Snobbish and sarcastic. A upper class snob. He turned out completely different then my original vision. He ended up being this loving and caring man with a sort of white knight complex. What surprises me most is just how much he’s changed from my original vision into something so warm and happy. That despite all the darkness that looms over the horizon he still pushes to find the light an goodness. I just want to hug him an try to keep all that darkness from trying to drag him down. He’s almost like a brilliant light of hope.

6: If you could title your character’s life, what would you title it?

OOC Destiney: Darkest Before Dawn. Destiney has moments where she feels so broken and consumed by dark emotions. Yet she always finds a way back out, usually with help from those she loves and cares about. It’s always darkest before the light of dawn chases away the shadows of night. So I found this rather fitting for Destiney.

OOC Lance: Winter’s End. Because he has finally left the cold endless winter of Coerthas. He’s begun to see more of the world beyond those frosted windows. He’s found a woman he likes to refer to as his Summer Sun. At the end of Winter comes Spring, hope for a new beginning. This is Lance’s new beginning. A time where he came finally come into his own.

7: What is their deadly sin?

“Wrath. I can be… fairly vengeful.“ – Destiney

“Pride. I’ve always had a lot of Pride as a knight and as a man. I’m not afraid to admit it.” – Lance

8: What is one question they’ve always wanted an answer to?

“Why was I spared when I wanted to die? I was throwing away my life. I didn’t deserve to be saved.” – Destiney

“Was there something we missed or something we could have done differently to stop the fall of Steel Vigil? It will haunt me till the day I die.” – Lance

9: What would it take to break them, inside and out?

“Being broken once wasn’t enough? … Losing everything I have now. My friends and my family I’ve made. I’ve come so far from that day. If I lost it all now… I don’t think I could find my way out of that darkness again. Leon isn’t here to put me back together again this time.” – Destiney

“… I… Losing Lady Miu or my cousin. Losing my position as a knight for Haillenarte would be devastating yet… If I lost Miu or Destiney I am not sure I would have the strength to walk back into that bleak landscape of Coerthas anymore. How could I keep calling myself a knight knowing I had failed them in some way.” – Lance

10: Where are they ticklish?

“Excuse me?! Keep your hands away from my sides! Unless you wish to be smacked in the head with a book!” – Destiney

“Uh… M-my under arms. I do not want to hurt you. I’d suggest keeping your hands to yourself.” – Lance

11: Would you want to hang out with your character?

OOC: HAHAHA. I hang out with them in my head all the time! 😛 They’re parts of me. ^^/ I have a small group of characters spending time in the back of my head at all times. Destiney and Lance are always among them now. Welcomed with open arms by the others. Welcome to the insane asylum of my mind.
