Thread: we'll see what happens [closed: roslin, edmure]

Sat, 14 Apr 2012 22:27:58 -0400

Roslin’s always early when she doesn’t mean to be. She orders one of those strong mojitos as soon as she sits down, and sips it compulsively. It’s cold going down, cold enough to make her teeth ache, but she isn’t a habitual drinker - that warm feeling is quick enough to show. Thankfully it’s dark enough in here to hide that red flush that creeps up her neck when she drinks. She isn’t sure why she’s nervous. Isn’t this just to satisfy your curiosity? And she knows she looks good. Long, dark hair brushed until it gleams, that combination of short floral dress and leather jacket that will always speak to her, and those heels that kill her already tortured feet but always work.

She won’t even admit it to herself, but this is the first real date she’s ever been on, the first time she actually hopes he’ll call her back afterward. And she isn’t even sure what mad impulse led her to set it up. You don’t actually want to make your father happy, do you? No, this is for her. To see what life is like outside her closed-off space. To see if something can happen. Roslin taps the screen of her phone - still fifteen minutes to go - and counts back from one hundred, the way she used to before she took the stage. She’ll be calm before Edmure finds her table. Her large brown eyes scan the crowd for a glimpse of red hair, and she finds herself smiling when she spots him a few moments later, still early yet.

Edmure decided to be early, and he is, but as he steps into Inamo and takes in the atmosphere, he sees Roslin, here already, fiddling with her phone. He’s not quite sure what to do - he’d bet on being able to sit and look impressive and whatnot before she came in, but he can’t do that now. He’s got to regroup, think of a new strategy, something - he doesn’t want to embarrass himself. Edmure’s had plenty of women, but he’s not one for dates - he takes them straight to bed, and only after getting drunk as a skunk. This whole thing is rather new to him.

He hopes that he can nonchalantly walk over to her, but no, she sees him. Her eyes are confused for a moment, but then they seem to beckon him over.

Nice eyes, he thinks, she’s pretty, very pretty.

Edmure looked her up on Facebook before responding to her email, but he learned from experience that girls don’t always look like their profile pictures in real life. Roslin does, though.

He realizes that he’s been standing in the same place for a good thirty seconds, looking like a complete idiot, staring into Roslin’s general direction. To make up for it, he crosses the remaining distance quite quickly.

When he reaches her, he means to say, “Can I buy you a drink?” but it comes out as “Hi.”

Edmure,

I realize this is out of nowhere, and for that I’ll apologize - but I felt obligated to tell you that yesterday my father called me home and asked me if I’d consider meeting with you! I’ll be honest here, I am not in the habit of doing what my father tells me to, and I don’t want to put you in an uncomfortable position by any means - especially because he intends for something romantic to come from this, I know he does. Feel free to disregard this message for that reason. I won’t hold it against you.

To be frank, though, I am interested in meeting you. Since our families are so close, I’ve known you by reputation, and I think I’ve even glimpsed you at a company party or two. I’m a dancer with the Royal Ballet, as you might know, but as it happens I have two days off this week, and well, I wouldn’t object to a date if you’re interested. I think it’s worth a shot. Meet me at 8 on Thurs at Inamo in Soho? They have a killer sake mojito.

Roslin

Roslin,

You seem really unsure about this whole thing. Let me dispel all your doubts - I’m totally open to this plan. We’ll just see where this goes, shall we?

I feel like I’ve known you for a while, because our fathers interact quite a lot, but we haven’t ever met before, have we? (I’m not even friends with you on Facebook. Remedying that now.) I didn’t know you were a ballerina, that’s fascinating, you’ll have to tell me all about it.

Don’t worry about this whole thing being out of nowhere, I’m quite excited to meet you. Inamo on Thursday night it is, and I’ll pay.

DAMIAN LEWIS
Edmure Tully is a typical youngest son: joyful, carefree, quick to smile. He’s not particularly bright, nor does he have a good sense of his life’s direction: at Oxford, he switched majors several times before finally settling upon Interdisciplinary Studies, and graduated without honors, to his father’s disappointment. Edmure never thought about running Hoster’s empire, but with the high likelihood of his father’s death, he’s trying to learn a lot of things in very little time. Edmure has never held a real job besides the one at his father’s company, so he’s very inexperienced. But with Uncle Brynden to help him deal with the real world, Edmure has no intention of chickening out, however much pressure is put on him to do so.

Politically, Edmure identifies with the Labour Party, and generally follows the position the rest of the family takes. He dislikes politics, and would much prefer to live as a philanthropist, helping those people whose need is greatest, but he instead finds himself near the top of one of the largest companies in the world. He is confused, understandably, but he tries his hardest to do a good job in all he does.

Edmure is fond of jokes, drinking, partying, and football, though he harbors an unusual hatred of sung music.

These are all over my dash, I’ll just jump on the bandwagon!

Hello, my name is Shilpa, I’m in high school, I live in Texas (I hope to leave soon, haha) and I’m super excited for this AU, it touches on almost everything I find interesting irl. I don’t have a ton of RP experience (just one) so any help would totally be appreciated!

My personal blog is rampantmanhood (yes, Edmure’s cock) and I absolutely love making pointless graphics and stuff. Sometimes I write meta, but it looks like vomit and usually ends in “Cat haters stay pressed” or something like that.

As for ASOIAF, my favorite family is the Tullys, I stan all of them pretty hard. My favorite major character is Catelyn (played here by the wonderful onionjulius) and my favorite ~minor~ character is Edmure - so I’m really happy that I’ve got this opportunity to play him.

I do have RL obligations (homework, newspaper, band, etc) but I try my best to get on Tumblr every day. My schedule varies - I live in a CST place, but I usually operate on PST given how late I’m on (many days I get on around midnight here).

I posted my contact info below, personal ask is usually the way to go, if you want me to get on AIM just pop a note in my ask (because I’m not usually on there) also email always works, I check it everyday, so if you want that feel free to ask! :)

CHARACTER INFO: Edmure Tully is a typical youngest son: joyful, carefree, quick to smile. He’s not particularly bright, nor does he have a good sense of his life’s direction: at Oxford, he switched majors several times before finally settling upon Interdisciplinary Studies, and graduated without honors, much to his father’s disappointment. Edmure never thought about actually running the company, but with the high likelihood of his father’s death, he’s trying to learn a lot of things in very little time. Edmure has never held a real job besides the one at his father’s company, so he’s quite inexperienced. But with Uncle Brynden to help him deal with the real world, Edmure has no intention of chickening out, however much pressure is put on him to do so.

Politically, Edmure identifies with the Labour Party, and generally follows the position the rest of the family takes. He would much prefer to live as a philanthropist, helping those people whose need is greatest, but he instead finds himself near the top of one of the largest companies in the world. He is confused, understandably, but he tries his hardest to do a good job in all he does. Edmure is fond of jokes, drinking, partying, and football, though he harbors an unusual hatred of sung music.

FUTURE PLANS FOR CHARACTER: Hoster’s death appears imminent, so after that, control of the empire will pass to Edmure. Due to his father’s immense wealth. Edmure has been living the easy life since birth, and isn’t entirely competent. Brynden will try to help him, but Edmure’s bound to make some bad economic decisions that will lessen the profitability of the company, but the Tully name will still remain influential in the minds of the voters because of Edmure’s easy charm. As he loses money, Edmure will throw his support behind his sister’s husband’s nationalist movement, and push him to step out into the political arena. By this time, he’s lost trust in the English political system - he can’t abide how totally petty the candidates are to each other he does’t think they’re good people, and he disagrees with them on major points. Other board members could band together to oust him from his position of power in the company…but Edmure is likeable enough to command their respect.
