*knocks on the door* “Hey, Bisset, Chidi, Open up, fo’ me, will ya, sha? It startin’ to rain bad bad” *Georgia/Gigi leans against the door, figuring one of the two would answer her, having surprised herself by remembering how to even get there in the first place*

@alice-of-hightable

[ A familiar voice outside the door, the Marquis has the doors be opened just in time for a cold breeze to have swept the outside. ]

➜ The doors of the estate open

“ 𝐆𝐄𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐀 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐓𝐓 ? I am rather . . . surprised to see you here in the middle of central Paris than the Continental in New York . ”

“ And I’m also surprised that you are a little… how to say this ? Vous avez besoin de vous rafraîchir (You need to freshen up) . Just a tiny bit. ”

[ She has not changed. Still a little condescending with more respect attached to his actions and words for Georgia since they know eachother. ]

Drawing Marquis de Gramont everyday until I become his top blog(Day 45)

I drew my rp!Vincent. so basically nothing changes here he just has some light streaks, heterochromia, and an initial necklace

[vadersangel]

I want to roleplay as Jennifer Check with a Roman Godfrey! Please, anyone?

[marquisedegramont]

It's totally cool to write an intentionally unsympathetic character! When you talked about it hurting your soul when people write Vincent committing s/a, that did give me the idea you prefer him (her?) to be sympathetic. But it's also true that people are complex, and a character can be sympathetic in one way (respecting sexual consent) and unsympathetic in another (greedily pursuing more wealth and power through criminal means even when they were born legitimately rich), as long as the author writes them skillfully and consistently. Happy writing, I find your version of Vincent fascinating!

Thanks! But I do plan on greatly expanding on his story in the google docs which is uh…. Much longer. And definitely much more traumatic for him lmao

Important Announcement

On the night of 1 June 2015, the Osaka Continental was raided by the @vindegramont's forces. My father, the previous Manager Koji Shimazu, was down in a coma. The doctor said his condition is stable at the moment, but I fear for his life with every second that passes.

All hotel guests have been evacuated prior to this incident, but my staff are low in numbers, so we are in need of manpower. We apologise for the inconvenience and wish all loyal customers to keep yourselves safe and sound.

Nobody's Secret Diary [Date: 5/18/15]

Bam! A bolt of white lightning flashed across the sky, pitched black and cloudy.

Guanlin Temple, Luoyang, China.

Amid the darkness of night, men in grey suits are tirelessly digging up something from beneath the ground of the temple compound. The Marquis de Gramont, simply and distantly, watches along.

Mr. Nobody quietly observes by the side, his expression not moving an inch while his pet Cerberus loyally guards him. The fact that the human Tracker hasn't spoken out of turn yet shows how much stabbing his hand had worked.

As if on cue, Chidi, the Marquis' trustworthy ghost bodyguard, approaches his superior with a nod and a report: the coffin has finally been raised.

Pak! The coffin that was closed for 1800 years is now opened. Mr. Nobody looks away out of respect (embarrassment) for a second, but soon turns his head back towards the subject in front of them.

This is the corpse of Guan Yu, the famous military general of the Three Kingdoms period, a paradigm of loyalty and righteousness, whose life was lionised and his achievements glorified that he is deified to this day by the Chinese people as "Guan Di" centuries after his death.

Neither the head nor the body look decomposed. In fact, it remained perfectly intact, its entire face notably looking as red as legends say, at least under whatever amount of illumination the storm lightning provides.

If not for the fact that he had been deified and therefore not rot, these are the signs of someone with the potential of turning into a jiangshi.

Mr. Nobody's journal is right, though the Marquis never doubted it, never doubted his many, many notes would be particularly useful for him on such an occasion.

"Perfect." The Marquis de Gramont declares. Then, all of a sudden, the Marquis bends down his body and bites the corpse's exposed neck.

"Sir!" Chidi calls out in concern, but the Marquis ignores him. Biting until he feels blood dripping down its coarse green robes, he pulls back his fangs and waits for a reaction.

The transformation of the corpse is not unlike anything the Marquis has seen before, but it's still a spectacle to watch. Mr. Nobody looks on in horror.

The corpse stands up on its own, its skin turning into a dead greenish-white, its long fingernails turning into claws and it's teeth turning sharp. It opens its eyes for the first time, its pupils showing a bright silver like moonlight.

Guan Yu has been turned into a jiangshi.

Ringing a handbell, the Marquis orders, "Get out of the coffin."

With a giant leap, the jiangshi hops out of the coffin with ease, impressing the Marquis.

"Good! Very good!" The Marquis laughs. He keeps away the handbell, not wanting the jiangshi to move anyway further, then he asks, "Do you remember who you are?"

The Marquis waits, but the jiangshi doesn't answer, doesn't open its mouth to speak. Mr. Nobody doesn't feel obliged to tell him that, but he knows the Marquis is not stupid and quickly figures that out himself.

"Chicken blood." The Marquis orders. Chidi complies.

When the chicken blood is presented, the Marquis opens Mr. Nobody's journal to a page with a spell on it, takes out an empty paper talisman and traces the illegible calligraphy onto the talisman with the blood before placing it onto the jiangshi's forehead.

"Do you remember who you are?" The Marquis asks again.

Five seconds later, "Who am I?" The jiangshi replies, slowly and monotonously.

"I don't know you, but you are mine now."

Mr. Nobody furrows his eyebrows. His pet Cerberus stirs alert and shifts its attention towards the smell of the Marquis and that unfamiliar corpse.

He told the Marquis of the story of the Oath of the Peach Garden, but of course he will always twist anything good into something sinister for his own agenda. Now, he turns the honourable tale of sworn brotherhood into that of betrayal, something similar to the story of Cain and Abel from the Bible.

"I shall name you, Caine."

OOC Author's Note:

This piece is written from Mr. Nobody's POV. All future writings on Caine's RP blog are intended to be from Mr. Nobody's perspective for the "Creature/Mythology AU". Please feel free to tell me any trigger warnings I should put.

Caine in this AU is Guan Yu whose body was turned into a jiangshi, basically a Chinese hopping zompire. Usually, jiangshi are known for wearing a Qing-dynasty court official's attire, but since Guan Yu originated from the Eastern Han dynasty (about 1400+ years earlier), he would be wearing military armour and hanfu of his time, before the Marquis forces him to wear Western suits.

More lore details on Guan Yu and jiangshi will be dropped later down the road. Just know that many creative liberties are taken. I still try to write as culturally accurate as possible.

It is said that there are actually three tombs for Guan Yu in real life: the Luoyang Guanlin Temple (the location mentioned above) where his head is buried, somewhere in Danyang where his body is buried, and a cenotaph in Chengdu. Due to creative liberties I've taken, his entire body is found in Guanlin Temple.

Why is this frenchman shaking and having a tantrum

[sofiaal-azwar]

You know it’s bad when you have to settle with @vindegramont . Don’t expect my recruits that are now traveling to Paris to just be of help. They’re keeping an eye on you too.

لا يمكنني الوثوق بذلك الوغد الفرنسي.

[tobytheeggo]

The High Table RP right now if anyone’s lost/curious

(I put a question mark with John because I have no clue what’s going on with him and Vincent cause the John acc is MDNI and I’m respectful‼️)

(Account owners: @evren-sadwrn @r1-jw-lover )

[wuxiaradio]

Oh.

Ah pute.

It seems as though the High Table has lost their little emperor. The Table is currently deciding on the next course of action.

[autemimperator]

The Table is…

They seem to be playing me like some sort of doll they can twist it’s joints. They want Wick dead but are now requiring him to walk with them?

How vile of them to go against their own ideas.

[eleanorsallow]

Might bail Vincent because….. what the bloody hell is happening in the office.

[marquisedegramont]

/rp

One thing to note about Vincent, is that he holds onto Catholic faith as a last resort. He doesn’t necessarily believe in it, but she wishes he can be salvaged or atleast have an explanation why he is like the way she is. Maybe he wants to be in heaven, or maybe she just wants a way to understand everything that has went wrong with him.

Maybe that’s why she looks up to John more than he should? He knows the religious way the Ruska Roma teaches their children, and she sees how John turned out, and wants to atleast be half content like John is

not bc he likes john in the other way absolutely not

[shimazu-akira]

@gianna-da I hope you aren't housing Mr. Gramont. Just confirming.
