				<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/47/McAlester_Aldridge_Hotel_1.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> GM Post<br><strong>Date/Time:</strong> January 1st, 2018; 12:00 p.m.<br><strong>Status:</strong> McAlester Freehold / Aldridge Hotel<br><strong>Notes/Triggers:</strong> None<br><strong>Tagging: </strong> All PCs!<br><hr><hr><br>In some ways, the freehold was urban, wild, and spacious. It wasn't the large cities like OKC or Tulsa, where it was practically an urban gladiatorial arena of modern banality. No, McAlester was just modern enough to live in but just near enough the wild places of the world that it made an ideal locale for a Freehold. <br><br>The actual Freehold itself was at the Aldridge Hotel, a multi-story building made of rusty brick and stained white stone. It was the sort of building people both found impressive since it was one of the taller structures in the city but also sort of boring because it didn't seem to have a lot going on.<br><br>What the Aldridge's 11th floor looked like from the Dreaming was amazing--it was a wide open space with 'rooms' for guests. The 'ceiling' looked like it was the night sky, stars a-gleaming. It somewhat mirrored the structure of the more banal version of the 11th floor, but only faintly. It looked almost like a medieval hunting retreat or lodge inside, one remarkably close to the sky and to nature. A lot of work had gone into into shaping the Dreaming side of the freehold. The mundane location for the balefire was in Gabriella's own private chambers in the form of a fireplace; she did not allow access to it without good reason. Gabriella's Beaumayn's dark star banner had a place of pride near the Balefire.<br><br>There were not too many entrances to the freehold, foot traffic in and out of the Aldridge was often brisk, and it was rare the stairs or elevator leading to the 11th floor weren't in use. This was not unusual; the Mid-west and South are friendly places where people visiting others is common, so travel happened frequently. It was noon; the sun was shining brightly, and the air was light and cold, as befitting an Oklahoma winter. <br><br>The Duchess had sent out a missive to several Changelings in the area, asking them to meet her at the Freehold regarding an important matter. And so a letter had been delivered to Lilisa the Pooka, Dame Rhydeea the Clurichaun, Dame Selene the Sidhe, and Kuurin the Troll. All were to meet at the elevator leading up to the Freehold proper. Inside the Aldridge was a very mellow sort of place; all pastels and plain flooring, the hallmarks of apartment or crunched housing living. The seniors in this place had no idea of the wonders in the topmost floor!<br><br>There was even a guard posted at the elevator; he seemed normal, but to other Changelings it was clear what he was.<br><br>He was clearly a Sidhe, standing tall and fair. His hair fell in red ringlets down to his shoulders, and his eyes were a vivid green. Some might have thought him an especially pretty Clurichaun if not for his elegant looking ears and noble demeanor. His 'mortal' look was that of a fierce red-headed man of muscular build, tall, and wearing plain dark clothes. But that Seeming? It was that of a noble and fair knight, all in shimmering black armor, helm included, with the Beaumayn colors upon his tabard. He looked at them for a moment and said, with great amusement, recognizing them as Kithain, though he'd not met them, "Ah, visitors? Your business here today, might I ask? I am Sir Geoffrey of House Beaumayn, and guarding the entryway to the Freehold is the new position granted by Duchess Cox." There was no one around other than the changelings in that moment &amp; likely saw their Seemings clearly, so he could talk more freely. <br><br>It was clear he wasn't going to bar them from the Freehold; he was just doing his job and making sure they were all there for the right reasons, just in case someone asked him later. It was likely he needed them to introduce themselves so that he could be sure that these were the guests the Duchess had asked to come here. <br><br>The Changelings would all have a little time to talk to the Sidhe and to each other before venturing to the purpose of the visit.

She would almost be sneaking if not for the Giant Fluffy Black Dog (https://www.k9rl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Show-Quality-Tibetan-Mastiff.jpg) that troded along side her without any regard for possible hazards, slowing only to snuffle here and there at the occasional interesting scent. It didnt take long before they arrived at the elevator, taking a moment to look over Sir Goeffrey before she slunk over, the dog sitting on the floor next to her in an almost regal manner. She suddenly stands up straight, ears and tails up as she pulls a kazoo from her pocket and pipes a brief tune, "Presenting! Der Schnüffler von Hintern, Urinierer von Wasserhydranten, Jäger von Eichhörnchen, Esser von unbeaufsichtigten Kuchen, und Straßenschmutzer! Emperor Supreme Woofs." <br><br>She drops to a knee and holds out her arms with head bowed as if presenting in an overly dramatic courtly style, the giant dog who simply sits there with a placid doggy look of one that has learned to just roll with it, He gives another snuffle before scooting over just before Geoffrey, tail wagging in a friendly and inviting manner, a brief pause to give another huff towards the girl behind him, who was readying the kazoo for another round, only to get a sour look and glower at the dog who proceeds to ignore her as she stands up and sighs, "And i am Lilisa Langly" she makes a small curtsey, "Called by the Duchess to do standard stuff. Loot unattended containers, not use coasters under glasses, put silverware in wrong drawers, general mayhem. If time...? Mmmmmaybe dirty limericks on bathroom walls." She pulls out the missive delivered to her, stained with soda, dog drool, possibly have been on fire a little at some point, and a couple marks that are nigh impossible to identify, and offers it to him before waggling her hand in the air, "We will have to see."

The Pooka got a wry smile; the Knight was more than familiar with Pooka peculiarities. It wasn't a disrespectful smile, but more the smile of a man who had definitely gotten a few pranks and fibs handed to him by some of Lilisa's kind before, so there was a teeny bit of wariness. Dame Selene and Squire Rhydeea both got a bow in return. Then there was Kuu, who spoke with a certain dignity and directness--very Troll of him. The Sidhe Knight responded well to that, too; it was clear he had a respect for Trolls.<br><br>"Come into the elevator and I'll take you all up!" the Sidhe said. <br><br>The elevator looked a little dull on the outside, but on the inside...the unmistakable mark of Glamour. Not enough to change the elevator significantly, but just enough to where any Changeling knew it was taking on a little bit of extra <em>something</em> from the Freehold on the 11th floor. <br><br>If all of them entered the elevator, the Sidhe would close it off and have it head up--as it did, Sir Geoffrey inquired, "How long have you all been part of the Duchy for? We're a Market here, so we get all types and all sorts passing through or settling down!"<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Even though the PCs would be heading up, there's still plenty of time to get to know each other. <br><br>If you would like your character to have a pre-existing connection with Sir Geoffrey, assume he is a naturally forgetful sort of fellow and have your character 'remind' him about how they met! Feel free to make up whatever you like in this regard:&nbsp; Sir Geoffrey is a bit of a young, enthusiastic, and sometimes clumsy Sidhe who is nonetheless sweet and honorable...and sometimes easy to trick or fool, given his youth. Provided your idea for knowing him adheres to that, I'm going to be pretty open to what you want!<br><br>Otherwise, if you prefer not to have your PC have known him prior, you can decide if you want your character to get to know him at all on the elevator ride up!<br><br>I made the assumption all would get in the elevator; if your PC wouldn't have at&nbsp; Sir Geoffrey's invitation, you can instead mention in your next post that your PC opted not to and opted to perhaps take the stairs or wait a bit longer.<br><br>Questions may be directed to the OOC thread if you have any!</div></div>

The dog truely was impressive, his fur a deep pitch black like that of a panthers, and he was most deffinately huge, hard to guess with all the fur , but at Rhydeas introduction of Finnigan the Beast moved over and half "stood" against her resting paws on her shoulders to lean in and snuffle lightly at the plushy before giving its nose a small boop. Though he quickly backs down as a quiet but hard sniff from Lilisa, a twitch of her ears, and flick of her tail sees him settle back next to her in a small sulk. She gives a wry smile to Rosy, "Sorry, Im suppose to be the rude one normally.." She bowed to the others, but at Kuurin she paused a moment longer, a soft sad smile making her ears and tail droop before it was quickly covered up with a full radiant smile once more.<br><br>The pooka herself was a bit odd, her clothing looked more like that of an old native americas style, buckskins and beads, feathers and furs draped on her, but here and there were the strange additions of nordic style, a torc of silver and gold wires wrapped around her throat, rings with icons like the valknut, the Ægishjálmr, and others. Slung from her back what almost like a bearded Danes axe, but rather then metal its a massive slab of knapped obsidian shaped to a wicked edge, from the head several eagle feathers hang from leather strips, some painted red, some notched, and a few unblemished. The girl herself even has the same mix of the First People and Nordic blood in her, face a fine mixture of both that seems to accentuate each side depending on the angle you see her. Her hair follows that of her Other ancestry, off white color with the tips colored a mix of sandy brown and black, just like a coyotes winter coat, her eyes the color of molten gold, brilliant and bright.<br><br>As they pile into the elevator she looks around wide eyed before snapping back to Geoffery, "Lived here my whole life. Everybody knows me. Recently moved into my old patrons Freehold after he passed. Which is kinda good cause getting to the age where coyote moms tend to chase their cubs out of the den. So now i have my own place." She crouched down and began scratching behind Woofs ear getting a loud happy doggy rumble from the Behemoth.

Pookas tended to fib...so the lie was either that everyone knew her and she'd been here her whole life...or her getting a Freehold from an old patron and moving in recently was a lie. Given that Sir Geoffrey didn't recognize her, he gave a solemn look and said, "My condolences on the passing of your old Patron, young pooka." It was a bit amusing for someone as exuberantly young as Geoffrey to call anyone else young, but Sidhe tended to try to be fancy when they talked. To Kuurin he said, "Walkabout or no, I hope you choose to settle here. The Duchess is a Troll herself; I can imagine it's a good place for your kith. I imagine you'll have stories to tell soon enough--everyone here ends up in the center of them!" To Rhydeea he said, "Oh, you! I remember now; I can't believe I forgot...and to forget my own duel against that Fiona braggart! Harrumph--good riddance to him! I am most glad you cheered for the right side! Don't know why I didn't remember--I should forget my own head if it was not attached by the neck!" <br><br>And he had to agree with Rhydeea and Kuurin, "Dame Rhydeea and Mr. Kuurin have quite a good point. That <em>is</em> a marvelous axe. Is there a story behind it? The elevator always takes as long as it needs for idle chit chat; it's helped many a motley have their words together before meeting with the Duchess!"

And then of course they ask of its background. Her shoulders slump and her tail curls down between her legs, the massive dog Woods cuddling up to her side as she seems to struggle with something... <br><br>She makes several starts at talking , each time the words dying before she gets started, strangled as if unwilling to let them out, and when she does start, she speaks slow, as if not trusting the words as they leave and ready to snap down with those caninish teeth to stop them. Joviality gone, and a seriousness straightens her back as she speaks.<br><br>"It... Was my fathers. He was a troll. And a cop. In the northwest. A Knight. When he married my mother he was gifted one of Crater Lakes Tears. With it he made this ax, and several daggers he gifted to friends and Family. The King-" The trap springs and her teeth snap shut, a heavy growl, not a fake one but the very kind one would get from a beast in the wild rumbles in her chest and reverbs in the room before she goes silent and continues. <br><br>"He was lost to Banality, and it Broke him. He was Undone. He... Ended. I was given his axe in memory. He was a good man. He fought the tides of Banality, he protected people. He was betrayed. My mother took vengance. These are truths. I have spoken them. Doubt and I will demand satisfaction."<br><br>She stands straight and tall, defiant and challenging, looking to each to see if they cast dispersions, Woofs leans against her, tail banging against the wall giving a proud little chuff.
