    Mask
    Lucifer's alien beauty is almost cruel, the eye moving uncomfortably from one monstrously perfect feature to the next.

    Mien
    Lurking beneath the alien beauty of the mask is the echo of the grotesque. Cruel teeth hide behind plush lips, goat eyes glitter beneath long lashes, ears are twisted into points, with skin the color of curdled milk.

    Shared between Lucifer and Rhodes and expires Sept 19th

    "We will share an alliance between us, risking death or disgrace, you for your crown, and me for my shadow play, and from this bond we will gain renown throughout the land! But, should we break this alliance, we shall find failure stalking our every endeavor, until the moon has come to cycle around once again.


    "Those are my terms,"
    Lucifer replied, her manicured nails resting upon the poor wood of the table, her other hand still hidden inside the confines of her purse.

    "I'll swear not to reveal the existence of the Lost in Sacramento to any who don't know of Changelings, and not to kill or maim any sworn member of the Freehold save for in self-defense or at the order of a Monarch. In exchange, you'll be my ally and help me when I need help as a Monarch ought to help their people. Let us both enjoy wealth to smooth our ways and a silvered tongue to hide our true motives from mortal ken if we be true; if we are false, however, let our tongues bumble and let our cash become ash. For this Winter Season, we shall be bound. Is this agreeable to you, Your Majesty?"

    Pledge:


    Words Not to be Spoken, Bindings Not to Be Broken

    Cost: 1 Willpower
    Type: Vow
    Maxwell's Task: Forbiddance, Medial (-2, Maxwell swears not to reveal the existence of the Lost in Sacramento to those who are unaware of Changelings. Maxwell also swears not to kill or maim a sworn member of the Freehold save for in self-defense or at the order of a Monarch.)
    Sasha's Task: Alliance, Medial (-2, per pp. 178 CtL)

    Boons: Both: Adroitness, Lesser (+1 Subterfuge), Blessing, Lesser (+1 Resources) (+2 total)
    Sanctions: Both: Poisoning of the Boons, Medial (-2)
    Duration: Season (+2)
    "I do agree, Maxwell." And so the Pledge was sealed for the duration set forth.

    He smiles as the details fall into place. "Such a thing is indeed common, Sera, and sounds the best way forward for us at this time. So, my dears. Upon Mantle then, for a year and a day. None present will converse to any not here that Lady Sasha revealed a Courtly Secret to those outside of the Winter Court. Any who do will be cursed to great misfortune in all they attempt, but those that hold true shall find their endeavours shall be prosperous, generating great fortune." There is a distinct lack of power in the words, showing the pledge is not yet binding. Rhodes looks between the beautiful Fairest ladies. "How does that sound? Or would you prefer a less... Earthly reward to the Oath? Makes little difference to me." The Dread Lord smiles genially.
    Shaking her head, the Fairest said with a small smile. "I think what we've agreed upon sounds great."
    The terms sounded fair to her, and being blessed with great fortune worked well for her. “That sounds fair and just to me.” A nod of her head as she spoke.

    Mein: Rhodes has pale whitish skin, elfin ears and deep, overly large emerald eyes. Thin black veins broach the surface of his skin like the roots of a tree emerging from the ground. Dark, broad leaves sprout from his wrists, ankles and temples, spreading around the back of his head. Deep red flowers bloom at the temples and wrists.

    Mantle: A breath of icy wind, the kind that penetrates and sends a chill down the spine. Ash leaves in red, yellow and gold spin into existance around him, caught on the breeze. As the wind blows, unnerving whispers can be heard, always coming from a direction just out of one's field of vision.

    "I just have to know the truth of your words..." Rhodes pleads, wrapping his fingers around hers tightly. "Swear that you will not lie when you profess your love, and I will do the same, until this far under the Summer sun. I will owe you a favor equal to the binding of this Pledge. And should either of break this Vow we will be cursed by our deceit until this binding ends." Something about the power thrumming through the Wyrd as he spins the Pledge makes The Flowering sound more like himself, like reaching for the Power helps remind him who he is. "And then we will know our love is real in a way no others can."

    The overly large green eyes are wide, almost lit up with the Fae magic thrumming through the Dread Lord. His flowers seem to open wider, thriving on the power he is calling on.
    Hopefully this will make sense:
    Task: Lesser Forbiddance (Don't lie about loving each other)
    Boon: Favour (Rhodes owes a favour to Seraphina)
    Duration: one Season
    Sanction: Curse (successes only on 9 and 10)
    There was a nod of understanding as she listens.

    Looking into his eyes, “I swear that I will not lie to you when I profess my love, until this far under the Summer Sun. I will owe you a favor equal to the binding of this Pledge. Should either of us break this Vow, we will be cursed by our deceit until the binding ends.” Her own Wyrd worked into each word, her sapphires sparkling in a way they hadn’t before. Or had they? In a dream?

    As she feels the Wyrd bind the words, she offers him a small smile, searching his eyes. Glad to see he was more himself, but still worried. “Are you ok?” the concern in her voice as she squeezes his hand.

    The heat will rise and test our fortitude, so let the Season of New Beginnings be our time of growth,
    From Spring to the dog days of Summer, we will task ourselves once a week to polish our skill,
    Let the Wyrd bless our minds and bodies with the knowledge we need,
    So we may pay back our protection in kind to this Freehold.

    If we break this trust by breaking skin, bone, or spirit,
    Let the very hands that dealt the blow suffer with the grind of joints that were once so honed,
    Until Summer comes so we may meet our Promise."

    Season / Character (Mr. Moon) Dropped



    Rhodes and Mr. Moon have sworn a Dread Lord's Pledge. It expires 8/9/19.

    The Dread Lord cracks his knuckles and clears his throat. The winds of his Autumn Mantle pick up as Rhodes reaches for the Wyrd to bind the pledge. "For the next season, we will neither act for the Gentry nor their agents, nor will we betray the Freehold of Sacramento to those who would do them harm. This we Vow, lest our fortunes turn against us. But while we hold true, the gift of the silver tongue will be ours."

    Pledge: Vow
    Task: Forbiddance (will not serve the gentry or betray the Freehold members to dangers)
    Boon: Adroitness (Persuasion)

    Mr. Moon and Fawkes have sworn a Good Neighbor Pledge for the duration of the Yard Sailing thread
    As Fawkes approaches, Mr. Moon turns off his radio. His driver side and passenger side windows were rolled down, but there was nothing he could do about the front and back ones. Or his mirrors, at least, not effectively.

    "Fawkes." Mr. Moon raps his fingers on the steering wheel and quickly grips and releases them in forced relaxation, before nodding to the other man. "I could not help but notice that Rhodes was the only one who asked a pledge of newcomers publicly. That puts me in an unenviable position. Would you be amenable to a Good Neighbor Pledge for the day? Let us keep an eye out for a real threat without worrying about each other, our eyes curdling if we're untrue?"
