This here is a roleplay between me and @Magebird as we explore the world of The Dark Crystal! I'll be playing a Skeksis OC while she plays one or two Full Metal Alchemist characters! There's not much of a synopsis to put here, but basically we'll be trying to get her character(s) home.
The OOC: Beginnings and Endings OOC
It was early morning on Thra, and the Castle of the Crystal was silent. Fifteen avian-reptilian forms had gathered around the Dark Crystal, bathing in its purpled rays as the three suns rose. Today was a day of difficult decisions.
The Emperor of these beings known as Skeksis was conflicted. What the Chamberlain had said about the Gelfling was true; they would dismiss Rian's ravings as madness. That being said, there was no guarantee. Something needed to be done, especially about Rian's friend in the guard. skekSil had been wise to apprehend him quickly, but that didn't mean others wouldn't get word of it.
The Chamberlain, skekSil, was plotting as usual. Things were not ideal for the Skeksis in general right now; they could very well have a coup on their hands if things were not done correctly. However, skekSil was prepared to reap the benefits. If skekSo were overthrown he could step in to restore order. There would be the difficulties of navigating between other Skeksis with similar ambitions, but in the end skekSil was confident he would triumph. He was clever, after all. Patient. Diplomatic. Everything a Gelfling would want to see in a leader and everything the other Skeksis needed in an Emperor. Yes, things could work out very well for him if he played his cards right.
skekRa the Mortician was waiting for the ritual to end so he could return to his mortuary and work on the preparations for another Podling Nosa had brought him. It was tedious work, but it allowed him to better explore the creatures' anatomy and it meant she was better inclined toward him for his supposed kindness. He wasn't sure why he cared what the Gelfling thought; she was far below him. Perhaps it was similar to how skekTek felt towards his little birdling pet. Either way, his affection for her annoyed him and he had been attempting to shy away from it ever since she started coming down to visit.
