The Best Thing About Not Being Home is Missing You

[preuxchevalier]

There are people back home that your character hates. Or maybe they love them, but they're terrible people/influences. Here's your chance to talk or play out that special someone turning up in the Meadous. Are they so far out of their element that they're now defanged tigers? Do they lead right in with their wicked ways? What is your character's CR even going to think when they meet this person?
 

Post with your own character or the person they most/least want to see again who's a bad thing for them. Feel free to play out encounters in the snow between this character and your regular character's CR, or talk it out with if you're not sure you've got the voice down.
 

Fun for all ages! And by fun, we mean misery!

"Coffee would be nice," Nemo says, "especially if you've got cream. I'm afraid you'll have to explain everything to Lady Worplesdon. My own attempts didn't go over so well."

"Nothing," Agatha replies. She doesn't trust whatever 'herbs' a gyspy might be using for tea, let alone his kitchen hygiene. The woman gets straight to the point. "Mr. Vantas is incapable of assisting in reaching the authorities outside this place. You were indicated as some suitable person to do so." The look she's giving him would seem to indicate that she has little belief in this.

Even so, Warren's feathers didn't seem ruffled at all. Warren gets out a clean pot and some water and sets it over the fire. "Of course,I tend to travel around. But unfortunately, due to rules put into place by things bigger and better than I, I can't." He frowned a little. "A lot of people want to leave for some reason, I don't know why actually. Its actually a nice peaceful place here. I would set down some roots myself, maybe start a family. Have kids and a dog- maybe even get a tie. I hear ties are important when starting a family."

"I don't know about that," Nemo says, "I certainly wasn't wearing one when Meulin and I got married--not that we had a wedding--and I really doubt I was wearing one when my kids were born either."

He's already plotting ways to cut and run after he drinks his coffee, leaving Warren with Lady Worplesdon to deal with. He was a supernatural being. He ought to be able to handle it.

Agatha wrinkles her nose at Warren as she's immediately reminded of Bertie; this man is a driveling idiot. "While you both may have no ties to anywhere," she says, assuming Nemo is a gypsy, as well - his skin is dark enough and the fact that the man hasn't bothered with wedding his wife is indication enough, "I do. I already have a family, Mr. Warren. I was taken from it and brought here by your 'bigger and better' forces. There are matters to attend to. My husband will simply not tolerate my absence, and I despair of the state I may find England in if my nephews aren't properly managed. None of them are married." She says this as if it may be counted as one of the worst character defects a man could have.

"Whats properly married?" Warren asked, sounding honestly curious.

"In Lady Worplesdon's case," Nemo says, "I expect it involves finding wealthy girls willing to listen to everything she says." Personally, he feels sorry for those nephews and husband. "In the larger sense, it involves a lot of paperwork being signed--for the actual license and the prenuptial agreement--and then an elaborate, expensive wedding party being thrown. My sister and brother-in-law ended up having one of those. Aunt Betty insisted."
