Apologies. Christmas part 2 tonight so may not be on

Noooooo

Trying to get into the habit of posting when I have a free moment. Free moments seem fleeting and hard to find though. I have cascading chores instead - pick up laundry and notice bottles need washing, go to wash bottles and see that trash need to go out, take out trash and notice that floor needs vacuuming,.. it never ends

I have less to do than that and I still get tired of the trash. HOlidays create SO MUCH TRASH

hi

Christmas Part 2 done it seems

So Hi

woo?

Woo. Should be one more to go on the 13th or so

And then maybe on the 14th that darn tree can go down 😉

hiii

You're having so much holiday, Mr. D. My sympathies.

Hooboy…. Things have been camping since Thursday, got home today and had to clean the gear, do the laundry, and then clean their spaces which were a MESS.
Thing2's been feeling stuffy and yuck, anyway. I just went up to check on his progress/work and he's passed out in bed on top of some clean laundry.
Ok, fair enough. I let the others know, removed the laundry I could to the hamper, covered him in a blanket and kissed his cheek before turning off the light and shutting the door.
He never twitched.

To be fair, the guests were quite nice

Thing2 is done.

Poor Thing 2

I kinda feel like he had the right idea....

He was out by 6:30.

Ah, deleting Siv's entry

Still with us, Shady?

@catnik , heads or tails?

No, I mean you have to call it :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

...heads?

There you go!

It’s funny, I was going to ask how one DOES gain rank higher than knight. (Unrelated to this scene, but I was just thinking about it) I assumed it needs to be granted by one of higher rank? Or is there more to it? :thinking_face:

Well, the Count will upraise the lowly Dame to Baroness formally

Is it ever really covered in writing, or odd it just kinda.. like in feudal times? Just needs to be granted? Since power (literal) comes with title in CTD, I wondered if there was more to it

Not to question Rahne’s plans, but for my own knowledge (and perhaps eventual plotting)

It can be granted at whim. Titles granted on the battlefield without any advanced notice are not unheard of.

I think it's politically savvy for those in power to avoid pissing off the people in power over them by making sure their choices for elevation are approved in advance.

Makes sense that Title A can grant titles below theirs. Dagmar made Connor a squire, Hemlock made Brekke a Baroness

New Dukes are probably tricky

I suppose you also don’t want too many unlanded barons and counts around

They might start getting delusions of grandeur or IDEAS

Which prevents people from elevating others on a whim

That's why every Sidhe over knight needs to get a hold. They get all twitchy and Nadeeny otherwise

Indeed!

If Kerri doesn’t want the job, Connor will step in as new He-Chief

And thus Silverwolf's agenda will be complete.

Ha!

SHHH! I almost had them!
