Oxy has been usually understanding, although he made the mistake of bugging me for breakfast in the middle of a tense scene this morning. Hell hath no fury like a romance writer interuptted lol But last night he took me for sushi (I am such a raw fish addict!), so it evens out.
But to have a brain break, I started a quest razz Here's the thread:
Parisian Wig Quest
I'm trying not to be a beggar, though. I think of it as more like encouraging gambling. That's a good thing, right? I'm sure I heard that somewhere....
Anyway, here's the opening page--
V. Wolfe
Bonjour!
Welcome to Versailles!
My name is V. Wolfe, although I also answer to “V.”, “Wolfe”, “Virginia” or “I can’t remember your name, but I had 42000 tickets laying around that I need to get rid of”.
Anyway………
My Quest is to be Marie Antoinette!!!
I’ve always been a little obsessed about Versailles—the culture, the clothes, the music, the clothes, the court intrigue, the clothes, the romance, the…you get the idea razz
But after visiting the place a few weeks ago (she said casually), then coming back and seeing the latest movie (which all MUST see), I decided to quest in order to make my avi look just like the ill-fated Marie Antoinette.
Here’s my TekTek:
Item List:
Elegant Blue Slippers
Elegant Veil
G-LOL Blue Gown
Missy Sapphire Ribbon
Mochi the Puppy
Parisian Blue Fan
Parisian Wig
Pearl Earrings
Pearl Necklace
Estimated Total: 61,669 Gold, 62,000 Tickets
(Estimated with known item values on 09 November 2006)
And here’s the painting I’m basing my concept off:
I added the ribbon and a little bling, because she loved jewelry and so do I mrgreen
The Mochi is there because of her love of dogs.
BUT WAIT, YOU SAY, HOW DO I HELP YOU OUT???????
Well, I don’t really need cash donations. I’ve bought all the stuff EXCEPT that confounded wig. But the wig is the center without which the ensemble falls apart.
But, I do need tickets. Of course, flat out donations are nice, but really, let’s make this fun. I have plenty of tokens. And Gambling was huge at Versailles (poor Marie often found herself in debt. I love her taste in art, but really, she was quite an airhead).
So, what I’d like to do is either exchange tokens for tickets on a 1:1 basis. That way, you don’t really lose anything except the time you spent gambling. Or if you don't have tokens, post here and I will advance you a small gambling loan so that you may go out and gamble in the name of the French Empire
So what do you good people think? Are you up for an evening or two of gambling the night away by candlelight, just like the Nobles of Versailles did?
QUEST PROGRESS: 2857/42,000 Tickets
