Long Ago, in the Land of the Green Isles [ Tuesday, 08/16 ].

[daventryprince]

There was no denial that yesterday had been rather eventful. Apart from being shipwrecked conveniently in the same land they were looking for, Alexander and his company had had quite an adventure in their efforts to bring the prince one step closer to the woman he had spent so much of his time trying to find. There were nefarious plots, tricksy

Prepare - 08/16.

The only way to get into the castle is either by Alexander's spell or by dressing up as servant girls to sneak in through the front. Evil bad dudes love servant girls. Now is the time to get ready and prepare to stop this wedding!

...damn her weakness for black lace! At least there was no brocade.

"In a very large fire," she muttered, pulling the dress on over her clothing.

"They will see the smoke from all the islands," Faramir agreed, sighing as he unhooked his cloak. And here he was thinking he would never have to wear a dress again.

"You'll turn guards' heads," Maladicta assured him kindly.

Faramir raised both eyebrows at her. "Let us hope not. It might be too noticeable if one bothers to look twice."

Holding a veil over his lower face, she shrugged. "Add a bit of kohl and I'd think you an attractive woman."

A beat.

"If a bit lacking in curves."

He laughed, wondering what his brother would make of that if he were ever to hear of it. "I will trust your judgement."

"I have a feeling that I will not pass as your average servant girl," Elphaba declared. "Even less so than Faramir, I think."

She smirked. "But only just."

"But he's so fetching in a dress," Maladicta said. Because he could never win.

Re: Prepare - 08/16.

"Oh, that I don't deny," Elphaba said. "In fact, I'd wager I couldn't pull off the dress with the same pizazz. But I've quickly gathered that my skin is more... noticed, here."

"You could just be exotic," Maladicta replied. "They have dogs as guards."

Re: Prepare - 08/16.

[didntchewgrass]

"Well, let's hope it's not too exotic as to cause us delay," Elphaba said. "The last thing I want is the attention of anyone unsavory."

Re: Prepare - 08/16.

[inneedofcoffee]

"Just tell them to speak with me," Maladicta assured her.

Re: Prepare - 08/16.

Faramir rubbed a hand across the stubble on his jaw. "I could proceed without the veil, that should distract the guards sufficiently."

Re: Prepare - 08/16.

[didntchewgrass]

Elphaba chuckled and smiled. "Well, I suppose that is one way to do it. But that might be a bit too dangerous for you, I'm afraid."

"Only if I do not run fast enough," he sighed. "There are veils, luckily and if you stay between us, there should be no reason for them to take notice. Simply keep your eyes to the ground. One usually sees what one wishes to see."
