“Tudieu!”

The cry resounds in the Mansion main room. He stares about, aghast, the smell of powder still clinging to his vest, his rapier in one hand, a musket in the other. A moment ago, the war was raging against the Spaniards, and now he stands, in the middle of what looks like a receiving room. God’s whiskers aren’t quite enough to exclaim his ( Read more... )

Bonjour, mesdames et messieurs. *an elegant, sweeping bow* My name is Comte de Guiche, and it is certainly a pleasure to meet everyone ( Read more... )

::enters cautiously, quietly:: Good day, good night, to everyone. I am Scheherazade, or Shahrazad. I do not know how I have come to be here, but here I am. I am looking forward to meeting all of you (or, perhaps, merely some of you - there seem to be nearly as many people in this strange world as there are pearls in the Sea).

I see that my dear friend Cyrano is here already; along with his fair cousin Roxane, and young Christian as well. It's certainly an honour to be here, and I do hope to enjoy myself most

I am Baron Christian de Neuvillette of Cyrano de Bergerac fame. See the enormous irony inherent in that statement? I'm a soldier at heart but no Gascon and am apparently dashingly handsome and utterly brainless before women, especially Roxane. Besides, what does it matter anyhow that Edmond Rostand wrote me as good-looking when I face myself in the ( Read more... )

*smiles prettily around the ... place*

Hello, everyone! I am Mademoiselle Madeleine Robin, although everyone calls me Roxane. My cousin, dear Cyrano, is already here, I believe, and I do look forward to meeting everyone else, as well! It would be especially nice if my darling Christian would show up...

I am quite excited to be here with or ( Read more... )
