				*laughs* you two are nutty...<br><br>Let me give you a rundown on Angelique.<br><br>Born to an English Lord and a French singer. Her mother was free with her favors, cheating on her husband quite regularly. When Angelique was six, her mother ran away with one of her lovers. Subsequently her father detested the child, namely because she was the image of his faithless wife and he was sure she wasn't his.&nbsp; In order to rid himself of the girl he sold her to a Swedish nobleman who wanted a young virginal wife. <br><br>Her 'betrothed' was an old, fat, ugly pig of a man and very cruel. She was quickly sent to Sweden where with the help of a sympathetic servant she escaped by masquerading as a cabin boy on a ship headed for Russia, the same ship carrying Ingrid to her betrothed.<br><br>Angelique is quite pretty with a creamy complexion, long ebony hair, unusual violet eyes framed by delicately arched brows and long dark lashes. Straight nose, full lips and even white teeth.<br><br>Curvaceous with full breasts, small waist and ample hips, she is petite at 5'2" and normally sweet natured, but has a lot of rage pent up which she may loose on Alexei lol.

				Many thanks to you my dear brother and hello to all ! I'm delighted to be there and I'm sure that together, we will write a great story.<br><br>So, let me introduce Olga.<br><br>Olga Romanov is 5'6" and has a perfect wasp-waisted body. <br>She has an heart shaped face with high cheekbones, almond blue eyes, framed with long black lashes that sometimes give people impression of having their soul sounded out, perfect sensual lips opening on perfect white teeth when smiling with that special smile that can turn men's head and heart within a heartbeat.<br>She is among the most beautiful girls of Russia, if not the most beautiful. <br>She knows it and takes great advantage of it. Men are at her feet and she uses and abuses of this power following her fancies.<br>Power is a master word to her! <br>She would have made it tattooed on her forehead if she could. It is a gift she inherited from a few of her ancestors as well as egocentricity, a huge taste for luxury and lust.<br>Hating her brother and conspiring against him is among her favorite pastime but she perfectly hides it, knowing how heavy the cost would be.<br><br>So, here's the devil in gown !

				Seriously just had the commute home from HELL! I had a work event tonight and was leaving at 9pm. The T station I take was closed - broken down trains. Had to hop a cab to the next T station down the line, only to find that they're not running trains from that station for my line that I take home. I have to go upstairs and get a bus. Upstairs is pandemonium with T inspectors shouting about random buses going everywhere but where I want to go. <br><br>Finally, we find out it's across the street, and we pile onto the bus, turning it into a human sardine can. The bus driver then announces that he's only driving to the next stop down on the T (BTW, the T is our subway in Boston, LOL). That is two blocks away. When we get there, there is only one train car instead of the usual two. Another human sardine can. <br><br>1 hour and 15 minutes for what is usually an easy, straight 30 minute ride, door to door.<br><br>GAAAAAAAAAHHHH. Okay, I feel better. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.<br><br>I'll get us back to the palace, that way Olga can come play, Angelique can wake up, and we all start on the same page the next morning.

				Cindy, I was a little confused by the second post for Angelique. She had already been saved and was put unconscious into the carriage with Ingrid and Liz, when you posted her getting attacked again. It looks like Katie has them already back at the palace with Nikolai asking where to put Angelique. So we're going to go with the first post and ignore the second. You actually helped us out by knocking her out in the first post. :P So feel free to wake her up back at the palace whenever you want.

				Anthea, the concept for Olga's introduction is sound. Because odds are, Pavel wouldn't have given her a clue about Ingrid's arrival, not wanting her to lurk and cause trouble. Hell, even Alexei didn't know about Ingrid's arrival till today (in game). But she landed at the docks a few hours ago, word travels fast....especially over something like one of their royals getting married. Odds are, when she hears about it, it will be from a servant. And Ingrid and the others will be back at the palace already when she arrives home to "welcome" -- confront...whatever. :P

				Thank you very much Alexei ! I have to admit that I had a lot of fun writing it.&nbsp; ;D <br>I need your help for a few points. <br>Since Olga is a Romanov, where does she lives ? Is it in the royal palace with the whole family or does she lives with her mother &amp; brother in another palace ? (which sounds better or everyone has noticed how much Olga loves candies...)<br>What is the city where the events take place ? Moscow or St Petersburg ?<br>And how is supposed our dearest Olga to interfere with other characters ?

				Hey Anthea...<br><br>The story is set in St. Petersberg, and Olga is in the main palace with the rest of the Romanovs...although she is at the opposite end of the palace, just so she doesn't go chucking boxes of candy at Alexei's head every time she sees him, LOL!<br><br>I have to say that crushing the box and the candies was a PRICELESS scene!!! I totally laughed out loud!<br><br>Olga has several options for making trouble...and she can pursue any or all of these.<br><br>1. Ingrid. Fresh meat. Olga knows the family will probably have warned Ingrid about Olga. So Olga sets out to undermine them by being very nice and sweet to Ingrid and prove the Romanovs wrong (which would make Ingrid ostensibly doubt the word of the Romanovs - Olga is much nicer than they said...what else are they lying about?).<br><br>2. Angelique. Alexei's soon-to-be paramour. Olga could have a lot of fun whipping up Angelique against Ingrid or Elizabeth or Pavel or hell, anybody!<br><br>3. Lord Brogin. A shadowy figure so far, but he is unmarried and plotting to overthrow the Romanovs and begin the Brogin dynasty of Russia, becoming the Czar. Olga could be passing him secret information about Alexei, the Czar and Czarina and Ingrid. Olga could also be setting her sights on becoming Lady Brogin so when Lord Brogin overthrows the Romanovs, she gets to be Czarina.<br><br>4. Dr. Yelkin. He is the Romanov family physician. He also is the pharmacist, too. Adding some poison to some of the medicines he uses for the family might be a nice way to try and bump off some inconvenient people like Alexei and Ingrid who would stand in the way of Lord Brogin...and leave the blame with Yelkin, not Olga.<br><br>So there are just some ideas to play with. Alexei and I will split playing Lord Brogin, if that's the route you want to go.<br><br>Dr. Yelkin is an NPC, but if you want me to play him opposite you in a scene, I'm happy to do that, too!<br><br>Keep up the stomping and smashing!<br><br>Katie (Lazy)

				LOL, thank you very much Katie, you're a sweetheart&nbsp; :-*<br>As I you could read, I really enjoyed writing the smashing and I'm having a lot of fun with Olga (Am I exploring my dark side ?! LOL)<br>I had the almost the same ideas you had. Olga is a seducer born, don't you forget ?&nbsp; ;)<br>Ingrid will certainly find in her the most affectionate of step sisters. Lord Brogin ? Why not I thought that Yussupof would be a valuable partner but...who knows ? Dr Yelkin will certainly have a very faithful client as Olga loves men and nature sometimes plays tricks...<br>But I'd like to know when she is supposed to be introduced to Ingrid. If it is at diner or whatever.<br>Anyway, thank you very much for your support.

				Well, I would say that at the end of the current scene with Ingrid and the Romanovs, Ingrid is going to be taking a long, hot bath...it could be fun to barge in on the shy, modest princess in her bath and talk to her as if nothing was wrong, LOL...<br><br>Or, Olga could meet Ingrid at dinner. That scene will probably take place shortly. <br><br>Basically, any time the scene with the Romanovs is over, you can bring in our charming little devil :)

				Well, I think that dinner is the best option at this time it was inconceivable to enter a bathroom where someone is already, specially in a palace where people had their private bathroom.<br>That way my charming little devil will have enough time to calm down and be perfect for her introduction&nbsp; :-)

				Anthea, ready to stir up some trouble?<br><br>We all get to play along on this one!<br><br>After thinking it over, I think Olga should barge in on the modest mouse in her bath. It'll be very in character and funny. <br><br>Now, let's get down to the real devilry. I'm giving Olga a mission to destroy two women: Ingrid and Angelique. This will help her in her goal of making Alexei's life miserable.<br><br>With Ingrid, she uses Alexei's already established reputation as a womanizer (I refuse to pronounce it like Britney Spears) to shake Ingrid's confidence and play on the girl's one weak point - her lack of experience and confidence around men. That weakness should be pretty easy for Olga to tell right off the bat - the girl's a virgin princess sent from her home to a strange land to marry a man she must have heard is a voracious beast in bed. So, by playing to Ingrid's fears already in place, she is helping to set the stage for Ingrid and Alexei's estrangement...which will undoubtedly make her brother miserable to be married to a cold, distant woman.<br><br>With Angelique, the story is a bit different. Olga convinces Angelique (who hasn't been warned about Olga like Ingrid has) that Alexei is stuck in a loveless marriage and needs love and consolation in *every* way from Angelique...that perhaps if things get bad enough and Ingrid doesn't produce an heir (and who could produce an heir when there's no sex happening, LOL), she would be sent away, and Angelique could become the wife of Alexei. <br><br>Thus, Olga is driving everyone into a nice little catch-22. The more Ingrid sees Alexei with Angelique, the colder she'll be, and the colder she is, the more Alexei turns to Angelique who in turn welcomes him warmly and her own set of growing hopes...<br><br>See what fun we can have? Some of this will depend on our ability to let our characters stay in character and not "somehow know" that Olga is being insincere...especially if Olga is being sweet as pie. Alexei, of course, knows all about her, but if the girls don't spill the beans, there's no way for him to know that Olga directly planted those suggestions...<br><br>*rubs hands together evilly and cackles, then looks around, embarrassed*

				I pretty much agree with all of those possibilities that Katie offered....save one. I think Olga knows her brother well enough to know that if she poisons one of them, or if a drug she gives Ingrid causes her to miscarry....sister or not, he WILL kill her. In order to guarantee her survival, she would need to get all four of them at once with the poison. And different size people, different metabolisms....there would be no guarantee she could. Which is why I think she'd stay away from that one. But using Ingrid's weakness and Angelique's need against Alexei? She'd be TOTALLY in for that. Or Allying herself with Brogin....we all know she'd ally herself with the devil himself if it got her power :P

				*Baba steps up and takes the microphone to address the group*<br><br>"Right, well all of you would naturally love someone like me. After all, I'm the epitome of some kind of mother issues that we all have.You know, where you can't stand the brute force of your mother's personality coming to bear down on you, and yet you love her and can't do without her. Am I right? Of course I'm right. Baba is always right, and don't you forget it. Alexei, sit up straight. You need to shave. Mithlomwen, you are writing the most shocking things right now. Not saying that I don't enjoy them. After all, I used to take Nikolai for a ride every so often when we were younger. But honestly, you young folks, you are hot stuff these days. Elenisil, would you please take care of yourself? Have you been getting enough sleep? I think you might need some fresh air. You should go outside for a little bit. Alexei and Mithlomwen, will you please make sure Elenisil gets outside, or do I have to do everything myself? Anthea, dear, if you're going to keep smashing porcelain boxes and candies, you should really invest in buying bulk. I'm sure you can get a card to Pavel's Wholesale Club. Oh, and don't forget to bring the dog with you to Ingrid's bath. It'll be a nice way for the girls to bond, or at least for Olga to plot and Ingrid to bond. Animals are so nice that way. Nikolai had a big dog once. Well, ha ha, he had a big dog for him and a little dog on him. But don't let that get back to the poor man. He has to make do with what the good God gave him. All right, I'm going back to work. You all behave yourselves!"

				LOL, thank you very much ! <br>I have to admit it was a bit difficult as you guys do not make things easy to me but I like it like that !<br>I agree Yussupoff might get his ass kicked reading your post Alex, but I thought that Alexei and him could have been friends a long time ago (childhood? military school?) and were in separate armies. This poor man is desperately in love so we can forgive him, except this good Felix, no one seems to love Olga...&nbsp; :'( I really wonder why...&nbsp; ::)

				I get where your thoughts are going. But I don't think you realize how isolated Alexei was in his childhood. Once he was old enough to hold a sword, his training began. He was kept from his mother and sister, raised by a nanny. He was put through the rigors with physical training, weapons and hand to hand of every kind....and when their father wasn't pushing his body, he had him in classes with various tutors strengthening his mind. He didn't have childhood friends, because he didn't have a childhood. His only true friend is Nikolai, who has been by his side through many wars. He's not exactly a trusting, people person kind of guy. You can count on one hand the number of people he trusts. <br>Olga plays games with people's lives in her quest for power. Alexei truly doesn't know any better. He's been hardened intentionally to be a killing machine, and nothing more. <br><br>As for them being from different armies, If Yussupoff is Russian and in the Military, he IS under Alexei's command. Pavel is Czar, and technically, the final decision is his regarding everything. But he allows Alexei pretty much carte blanche in running all the military aspects in Russia. <br><br>But keep up the good work, even if Alexei does end up kicking her boy toy's ass :P

				My apologies to all the ladies for my absence. Between the bronchitis and the pinkeye, I was laid up for a few days. Still feel like I was layed out by a honda, but it's better than the mack truck feeling of a few days ago. Or as I told Katie, upgraded from feeling like death warmed over to just feeling like shit. Well enough to post though. Katie, Alexei is posted for Ingrid. Figure Pavel and Liz will see most of the guests off. Up to you and Mith what you want the Dr. and Angelique to get up to in the meantime. Mother hen Nikolai would have kittens if he saw what Mr. Potato Stew was doing right now&nbsp; :P
