A REALLY GREAT LOG OF Bene Gesserit WISDOM ========================================== -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ______________________Dune III Player Data Sheet: Diana______________________ Fullname: Diana Fehdra Danann Faction: BG Title: Lady Position: Bene Gesserit Sister Address: My Lady Age: 21 Background: Like all other Bene Gesserit Sisters, Diana is unaware of her familial tree. She was informed that she was born around 10071, which places her age in the early twenties. Her training began at a Chapter House on Caladan before being transferred to Wallach IX. Later in life, she was transported to the Chapter House on Kaitain where she continues her studies. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You paged Diana with �Hello :)�. From afar, Diana waves Long distance to Diana: Sisay shyly asks if she could visit... DESCRIBE [Diana]: %R%T Like a graceful dancer, Lady Diana stands tall amongst the surroundings for one of her lithe stature. She hovers at 5�8�, with strikingly pale skin as white as the thickest milk and contrasting deep auburn hair shaded with streaks of midnight. The hair folds loosely around her head in thick waves, braiding back into a long and sweeping braided tail ending mid-back. The tip of the hair is finished within a golden clip, masking the ends. Dark eyes, rimmed with lines of kohl, gaze out with a complacent stare hiding the electrifying alertness behind them. Her nose slides down her face in a smooth line ending at her violet hued lips that are split into a small smile.%R%T The body of the Bene Gesserit is garbed within a sweeping gown of thick, inky, blackness. Across the hemline of the sleeves and around the feet is faint golden embroidery. Underneath this flowing mess of fabric, she is clad in a body-tight white suit with collar lifted high up her neck and sleeves ending at her knuckles with slits cut open for thumb holes. Barely noted peeking out from the pooling ripples of fabric around her feet are a pair of dusty and worn leather slippers.%r From afar, Diana blinks, �The ChapterHouse?: Long distance to Diana: Sisay If you want...? From afar, Diana nods, �Sure. Lemme dig out some CDs first.� Long distance to Diana: Sisay grins and says �Page me when ready:)� You climb the Stone Stairway. Ornithopter Pads�Ginaz Embassy (Kaitain) The wind whips across your face as you look out from the roof of the Ginaz embassy. This large flat open area is the tarmac for the House Ornithopters. Several are tied down on the roof, waiting for use, while others dart off and arrive carrying all sorts of personnel. Servicemen can be seen rushing back and forth from �thopters that are dusting off. The rotating colors of the crystal roof over the central gardens can bee seen from here as well as the vast expanse of Kaitain itself. Exits: Stone Stairway <D> leads to Gardens�Ginaz Embassy (Kaitain) From afar, Diana is ready You request a thopter over your communicator. A Ginaz Ornithopter slowly spirals down out of the sky and lands softly. Ginaz Ornithopter The light from the �thopter console casts a green shade over the front compartment. Two swivel chairs, one occupied by the pilot, are seperated from the passenger area by a divider. Another pair of swivel chairs, elegantly appointed, face the rear of the thopter. A cushioned, leather backed bench curves along one side and the rear wall to the large passenger door. The pilot nods. Clearance is required for that destination. Send a request with �msg <message>�. The thopter�s wings start beating, propelling it upward into the sky. Msg �Ginaz Thopter requesting clearance to land.� The pilot nods, �Message sent.� Outside you see, The outlying terrain of the city as the thopter banks slightly. The driver turns to the passenger area, �Clearance has been granted.� Outside you see, Several ornithopters at varying altitudes. The ornithopter slowly spirals down making a soft landing. The ornithopter will remain on hold until told to leave. Tower Landing Pad�Chapter House (Kaitain) This open space overlooks the City of Kaitain and provides a large landing space for ornithopters. The ground is covered with functional landing marks and is has a slightly gravelly texture. A flight tower spires upward for relay between the landing area and the ornithopters, while standing in its shadow a small metal hut contains all the necessary items for an emergency repair, and refuelling. Players: Diana Objects: Ginaz Ornithopter Exits: Staircase <D> leads to Courtyard�Chapter House (Kaitain) Sisay slowly gets out of the thopter and takes a quick glance around. She then curtseys to you gracefuly and says: �Greetings, my Lady.� The landing pad is almost empty, aside from a nearby Bene Gesserit �thopter undergowing some maintenance changes. A few of the younger Sisters oversee the transactions, whispering something to themselves to the maintenance men; however, seemingly oblivious to the recently landed vehicle. Another Sister is there to handle that situation, and Lady Diana stands proudly with an ancient grace of a perfectly honed alabaster statue. Her robes spiral and flutter around her body as the wind kicks up, her thick braid whipping through the air, before she dips her head in a small nod at Sisay, murmuring in a reedy, milky, voice, �Salutations, Lady. The Sisterhood welcomes you to our Chapter House. Do you have a meeting with one of the Mothers that I should escort you to? Or, are we to simply be pleased by your aquaintence?� Diana just looked at you. Sisay gets an excited look on her face as she looks around. Her eyes widen seeing the Sisters at work. Her gaze pauses for a moment looking at your impressive figure. A couple of Ginaz guards descend from the thopter but Lady Sisay stops them with a firm voice: �Guards, wait here. I�ll be perfectly safe among the Sisters.� The guards cautiously obey the order remaining near the airship. Sisay approaches shyly and says: �Lady Diana, please do excuse my intrusion, I have arrived on Kaitain a couple of days ago, summoned by my uncle the Marquis Jacob Ginaz. For a long time I have wanted to meet any of the Sisters as I have heard a great many things about the Bene Gesserit.� DESCRIBE [Sisay]: Sisay is a tall teenager, with curly black hair reaching her shoulders. It flutters wildly in the breeze, giving her a rebel look. Her eyes are obsidian black and seem to radiate inner awareness and strength. Her athletic body is very well built. Although she is not a top beauty, her cute face, tiny nose and full, red lips make her a very pleasant sight. She wears a red tunic keeping her arms uncovered. At her chest is the insignia of House Ginaz - a silver and purple dragonfly - embroided within the tunic�s fabric. A broad red belt is tightened around her waist. You think you notice a knife underneath it. Sisay wears tight yellow pants which meet high wolfskin boots of exquisite quality. DESCRIBE [Diana]: %R%T Like a graceful dancer, Lady Diana stands tall amongst the surroundings for one of her lithe stature. She hovers at 5�8�, with strikingly pale skin as white as the thickest milk and contrasting deep auburn hair shaded with streaks of midnight. The hair folds loosely around her head in thick waves, braiding back into a long and sweeping braided tail ending mid-back. The tip of the hair is finished within a golden clip, masking the ends.

Barely noted peeking out from the pooling ripples of fabric around her feet are a pair of dusty and worn leather slippers.%r �I see.� Lady Diana answers sharply, her cold voice easily carving through the aggitaded air. Her deep auburn eyes scrutinize the girl�s features before her, dripping their gaze along the near boyish appeal that bleeds out from her body. �Well then, Lady Ginaz, it would be my pleasure to escort you through our home. Perhaps, at the same time, you would please my ears with tales of your homeworld? For certain, the thoughts of your fine countryside must still be fresh.� An unemotional smile plays over her features, marginally pulling on her taught skin. The guards are offered a simple nod before the Sister steps back, motioning Sisay towards the staircases with a drift of her hand. Sisay smiles broadly and joyfully starts walking alongside, maybe a little behind you. Although her gestures are filled with excitement, her eyes betray what might be concern, or sadness. She looks around, greeting the younger Sisters with a firm nod taking one good look at each of them. A few of the younger Sisters glance over their shoulder to Sisay, but they then catch the sight of Lady Diana moving past and immediatly glance away, busily returning to their chores. As she moves down the stairwell, her robes flowing over the steps, covering them in a thick coat of black velvet, �Might I interest you in something to drink, Lady Ginaz?� the Sister asks over her shoulder, dissapearing downwards. Diana descends the Staircase. Diana has left. You descend the Staircase. Courtyard�Chapter House (Kaitain) A wide cobblestoned central alley with high grey stone walls leads from the simple metal worked gate of the Bene Gesserit ChapterHouse to the geometric harmony of the courtyard. Hexagonal in shape the courtyard has several embellishments encompassing the outer area of the six points, while in the center a simple granite fountain is covered by an ornate wooden gazebo. Six carefully pruned trees are arrayed at the points of the hexagon providing shade to benches, bushes, flowers and herb beds such as akarso, spindlebrush, poppies, fern-tulips, yellow cedar to name but a few. During the daylight hours in hushed silence young Sisters care for the trees and plants. Tranquillity flows here contrasting with the bustle of the city of Kaitain. Players: Diana Exits: Curved Path <E> leads to Emerald Lawn�Chapter House (Kaitain) Staircase <U> leads to Tower Landing Pad�Chapter House (Kaitain) Double Doors <N> leads to Public Atrium�Chapter House (Kaitain) Courtyard <W> leads to Rathaus Square�Northeast District (Kaitain) Sisay stops for a moment looking around. She notices the fountain with a smile. She turns around slowly discovering the trees and the flowers. She smiles, obviously feeling very comfortable in this environment. Catching up with you she says: �I would like a tea if that wouldn�t be too much of a trouble.� She continues in a somewhat dreamy tone: �Much like home this is. Much like my beloved garden back home.� A faint sigh escapes her and she chuckles trying to control her emotions and waves of memories which start to flood her mind. Diana approaches another Sister, one who�s tending to a plant, snipping off dry crackling leaves and pouring fresh water into the already moist soal, and she nods to the Sister�s words, sets her supplies down and scurries off. Turning back to Sisay, Lady Diana folds her hands infront of her body, a soft breeze prancing along her agonizingly long robes, pulling them through the air like millions of ribbons, �Do you miss your homeworld? Some, I have discovered, either find Kaitain to be their favorite planet in the Known Universe, while others consider it a plague on mankind and can do nothing else but dream of home.� Briefly chuckling, the Sister silently repremands herself before stating, �My sincerest apologies, Lady Ginaz, for I do not wish to worry you. You should feel excited and joyous for being on the world where everything starts and ends.� Sisay chuckles and gets that saddened look on her face again: �Where everything starts and ends. Very well put, my Lady, very well put�. Taking a few steps towards one of the trees nearby caressing it gently on the rough bark she continues: �I can only say about Kaitain that it is an interesting world, with so many remarcable persons and I must add, very breat-taking salons. But I do miss my homeworld alright. I don�t know if local gossip reached your ears, but I�ve been known as an adventurous person and I got very accustomed to the mountains and endless forests of my planet. I feel here as I�m walking from one room into another as in an endless castle of deceit and treachery. I miss nature, my Lady, the only creation of God unchanged by the passing millenia.� Sisay suddenly looks up letting the leaves and branches of the tree caressing the skin of her face. Off in the distance the younger Sister approaches with hardly a noise. However, pausing behind Sisay, as to not disturb her embrace of the tree, the Acolyte glances over to Lady Diana, questioningly. She nods in return, finishing off their wordless conversation. �..Pardon, Lady Ginaz. I have brought you the tea you have wished for...� The Sister, easily in the young teens, stares at Sisay wideeyed for some seconds, apparently unaccustomed to seeing a woman in pants, let alone not being of the Sisterhood. Lady Diana looms in the shadow of the young one, her entire body unmoving, surreal in the ambience of the garden, almost as though she was planted there eons ago. �Perhaps you need to find the trees, and grasses, and flowers that Kaitain grows, Lady Ginaz.� Sisay lets go of the tree mumbling to the younger Sister: �Excuse me, I haven�t noticed you.� With a smile she takes the hot cup of tea from the Sister and takes a quick sip. �Thank you kindly.� she says to the young Sister with a smile, ignoring her stare on the yellowish pants. �An excellent combination of herbs I must say.� She takes another quick sip and fixes her gaze upon you. Quite shocked by the view of a totally unmoving statue of a living woman in front of her, Sisay becomes slightly embarrased. She mumbles: �How... how... can you do that?� in an almost whispering voice. Lady Diana tilts her head to the side, eyes widening slightly, pupils enlarging to encompass the entire reflection of Sisay in her shadowed orbs. �How can I do what?� she questions promptly and quickly, as if Sisay had not whispered it at all. Turning away from her for a moment, she motions the younger Sister on. That one bows lowly to Sisay and Diana, before skittering away from them. Her footsteps are light, barely audible, and the flowering of her youthful robes appear to not hold the same plights as the Elder ones. In time; however, all things change. Sisay chuckles softly and says: �Uh, nevermind, I... for a moment there, I thought I saw, not you but... a statue of you... Oh, I must be seing things. Might be the stress.� Holding the still hot cup of tea in her right hand she sweeps the left carelessly through her curly hair as the breeze plays gently with her hairlocks. Sisay approaces one of the banches and sits down, putting the tea-coup near her on the bench. Taking a deep breath she speaks: �You must be wondering about the reasons of my visit, I gather?� She looks back at you, her black and sparkling eyes supporting your gaze. �Of course. I am always curious, but I find inquiring tends to alienate people. This is not my intention.� Lady Diana turns away, her robes rippeling over the entire length of her frame, like the tides of water over smoothed rocks, and moves to the plant that the younger Sister was attending at. Absently, she loops her hand past some particularly verdant green leaves, and plucks off a deadened branch, flicking it onto the earth distastefully. Sisay takes a deep sip of tea from her cup as if to keep her focused. She says: �You know, of course that our House has tradition of good relationships with the Sisterhood. Although many Noble Borns accquire your precious training and instruction, I didn�t have the honour to that. Nor do I miss it. I find the education that has been given to me very appropriate and satisfactory. In my studies of ancient and contemporary history , I have stumbled across references to the Bene Gesserit for numerous times. You have a saying: �We exist only to serve� am I right?� she takes a deep breath while watching you attend the plant and quickly continues: �I would like to learn more about you and your Order. What exactly do you serve?� She chuckles worriedly and points her gaze upon the cup she clutches with both her small hands tightly. �We serve humanity, Lady Ginaz.� Diana answers without looking up from the plant that the younger one had left behind. It appears, that even the duties of a trainee cannot bescaped by one who has finished the studies. So, the Lady continues to tend to the plant, ridding it of excess problems, smoothing out some of blown dust from the leaves, murmuring to the flowers to blossom even wider, and feed it with some supplies bulging from a nearby bucket. Glancing over her shoulder, she watches Sisay sip the tea with mild scrutinty, and asks, �What is it that you serve, Lady Ginaz?� (OOC) Diana pouts, �I have to go...I�m sorry.. :(� Sisay stiffens her back as the question reaches the consciousness of her self. Without judging, without parsing the question any further, she says, as if reciting a prayer: �I serve my House, I serve my Marquis and my family, I serve to revenge my brother�s dea...� she suddenly stops awestrucken. She tilts her head questioningly at no one in particular whispering more to herself �What do I serve?� (OOC) Sisay says, �Okay, want to continue another time?� ----TO --- BE --- CONTINUED ---- |
