Having escaped from the clutches of yet another meeting, His Majesty was taking a stroll down the corridors of his Palace. A walk in the garden or the running into someone sounded like a much better way to spend the day. Today was definitely one that would send him over the edge if he had to stay inside. Swinging his cane and humming a tune to himself as he walked he was not completely aware of his surroundings. He nodded his head in greeting to a few, waved away a few guards who saluted him, and stopped to briefly chat with other Court members before continuing on his way again. Randomly deciding that he wanted to have coffee out in the garden he waved over a servant. "Bring me a pot of coffee out in the North garden." He ordered with a nod before heading off in that direction himself. |

Elias made his way through the streets. With the time of day, and Whip and Levi around, he was sure to have enough people around to keep from noticing him while using his Jack ability. Gotta love that thing, he thought to himself. He would have to explain himself to Queen Aderlass later, but for now, he'd have to sit long and hard, hiding in his room, and trying to think of the best explanation for why exactly he was now twice cursed. Sure, they were pretty cool curses, but he didn't think that would make up for it. "Let's go through the North Gate," Elias suggested. "It's closest to my room, and Aderlass will be somewhere in meetings all day. I'm not quite sure exactly what to say yet." So far anyone who had seen Elias of lower ranks had started shivering, if not outright bolting, which wouldn't be that good for a ruling King. He didn't suppose it would be something he could lose his position over, but it WOULD make things harder at the other Courts. |

It was one of the few times that he actually went out in human form, though he still had on his dark blue cloak covering his body and his hat jammed down on his head, as usual. Amazingly he wasn't getting too many looks, but he wasn't certain if that was because El's very presence seemed to be making people uneasy as they walked through the crowds. Ira trotted along beside his Mommy dearest quite happily, tail flicking cheerily even in the rather terrifying presence of his Nanny love. "Will you be ripping off your face and covering it with a veil?" the younger stallion asked with a bright smile. That would be a simply lovely trick! He rather hoped the canine would consider trying. |

Something else was strolling down the corridors... Right beside the current queen infact, although none were the wise to his presence. No sane person was anyways, any that had seen him thus far had likely gotten locked up due to claims of insanity. He likely never even made the connection that the 'ghostly hound' they were raving about was infact, himself.
When the queen reached the door to the garden, the hound reached for it... Just to have his current 'companion' reach through him and open it. Had he been of a more solid condition he thought it would likely have hurt when the door passed through his head and shoulders. But as it was, he just gave an annoyed snort at the rudeness of the new queen and carried on.
"You shouldn't skip meetings, they're important you know..." he sighed at the lack of response, then picked up the pace to be partly ahead of Aderlass. "You never listen to my suggestions, do you?" he jumped a little bit when another court member walked through him, then politely shuffled off to the side while they had their conversation... Not that he wasn't listening, it just wasn't polite to block peoples views.
When the servant approached his perked up a bit, and with a somewhat hopeful sound to his unheard voice he spoke again. "Could I get some coffee too?...*sigh*" ignored again.
he decided to go up to the north garden ahead of the queen, just to make sure things were clear... Not that he could do much about it anyways, but atleast /someone/ would know what was there. He thought these new guards were way too lax in their duties, just about anyone could walk into this place!

It was not long after he had arrived in the garden and chosen his table of choice, that his coffee was delivered. Pouring a cup from the pot he leaned back in his chair, propping his legs up on the table.
Looking out over his small garden he gave a pleased smile. Since the time that he had become The Queen of Clubs the garden had bloomed and grown nicely. It was the perfect weather for a cup of coffee outside.
As he was halfway done with his first cup, he leaned his head back, closing his eyes. To other's observing the Queen they might assume that he was asleep except for his occasional sip of coffee. While his eyes might be closed he was very aware with his other sense of what was going on. A bird chirped in a three somewhere to his right and there was a sound to his left.
Curious to see what it was he rolled his head to the left, opening his eyes slightly.

“I’m not ripping off my face,” Elias said irritably. Ira was something else. He had trouble staying too mad at the kid, but he was still something else.
Reaching the gate, he slipped briefly out of his Jack ability to address the guard. “I’m King Elias of Josiggy Marsh. Let me through. Now.” The guard recognized the ‘taur form, luckily, and let them through with a minimum of fuss. “I could get used to that,” Elias said. “People wanting to get rid of me so badly they just give me what I want, that is.”
Elias checked the initial path, the one that led to the central gardens. All clear so far. “All right, let’s try to hurry. Hopefully everyone is still working on whatever they all do. Hitting on Cards and fighting over clothes, I don’t know. What do you do at Court, Ira?” He was just whistling in the graveyard, rambling more than useful. In all fairness, he’d had quite the rough couple of days.
All the whistling in the world didn’t steady him for the sight he faced as he rounded the corner. There, looking at him and too close to tactfully try and ignore or avoid, was his Queen, Aderlass. “Ah, ****.” He cleared his throat and spoke more audibly. “Good afternoon, your Majesty.”

"Well, I'm not ripping people's faces off, if that's wot you're asking," Ira answered cheerfully. His tone implied that he certainly wouldn't mind trying, though, if only someone would volunteer. Not much chance of that, but, well, one couldn't have everything all at once. Sometimes you could only have a tiny bit every once in awhile and other times you had to make do with nothing at all. But, well, that was life.
Rai gave a small, amused snort at the pair, but when El cursed, it cut off anything the Queen of Hearts might have said. He raised a hand in greeting when he spotted his friend, and then seated himself at the table. He could smell the coffee but, sadly, there was only one cup in evidence; ah, well.
"Good afternoon, Aderlass," Rai said amiably, as though El wasn't now horribly disfigured and obviously unprepared to meet his Queen this way. "How are things here?"

What he found to be the cause of the sound caused him to open his eyes to their fullest, coming out of his sleepy state. There before him was his King Elias. Blinking he sat up in his chair. What in the world had happened to the 'Taur?
He was only half distracted by his friend. "Good afternoon," He replied nodding toward Rai and then Ira. Bringing his attention back to the Club he spoke before he could really think of what he was saying. "By the White Rabbit you are ugly! What in all the Realms happened to you?" King Elias was beyond ugly.
As they joined him at the table he raised his hand, the signal calling for a servant who stood nearby to come over. Calling for drinks for each of the new company to be delivered to the table he then dismissed the raccoon.

Dutifully he followed the newer queen, walking by his side like a body guard... A rather bored looking body guard, but one none the less. He snorted at the foul use of their language by the tuar who.. appeared to have a less than desirable appearance at the moment. Likely seeing the group well before Aderlass... Not that it really made any difference.
"Shinrai, don't you think you spend a little too much time over here? I would think your own court would provide enough distractions." he asked, not expecting or even capable of acknowledging a response.
When Aderlass made the comment on how hideous the tuar appeared to be the hounds jaw dropped open in astonishment. How could someone be so rude! A queen no less! This man had obviously been thoroughly traumatized without having to add insult onto injury!
"Aderlass! Don't you think you should apologize? A king deserves /some/ respect." He somewhat whispered the other part to the queen... It would likely seem odd, he was acting as if everything was normal (or nearly so) the only thing that truly gave his rather ghostly status away was when the servant accidentally walked through him.
He jumped a bit, then quickly shuffled over to somewhere where no one would quite literally invade his space. "...There's absolutely no chance of me getting something to drink, is there?" he stared at the servant as it departed. "That's what I thought..." He idly wondered whether anything interesting was going to happen today, other than Ader making fun of peoples looks.

Shooting for smooth, Elias had no idea how he was faring. “Haha, well, Your Majesty, do you have an afternoon to hear it all?” He even made that annoying clicking sounds with his tongue and pointed both index fingers at Aderlass. No, no, that wouldn’t cut it.
How to tell it? He still blamed Ira, and refused to take any blame even though he willingly and mockingly put on the mask that Ira had affirmed was cursed. “Ira brought home a cursed mask, and to prove it wasn’t cursed I put it on. Now it won’t come off, your Majesty.” That part was pretty easy. “Apparently, somewhere in there, I coughpickedupanothercursecough. You know how it goes, Your Majesty. Temporarily insane from the pain of a cursed mask fusing to your face, you go pick up other cursed objects and whatnot. Cough.” Well, there went his position and all the work he’d put in to joining the Courts to unite them against his enemies.
