IC-Ep 1-The Duc's Court(Everyone)
Moderator: Mr. Handy
Re: IC-Ep 1-The Duc's Court(Everyone)
Jacques made his way through the crowd over to where Leonardo stood. People between them moved out of the way, out of respect for either or both of them.
"Well, now that that unpleasantness is out of the way," said the Duc, "let us talk about the festivities I have planned! Tonight there will be a banquet for all of my guests, during which you will have ample opportunity to get acquainted with each other. Tomorrow night, there will be the performance of a play by a troupe of actors I've hired. The play is called Le Roi en Jaune. You will get to meet the players at tonight's feast. The night after the performance, we shall have a masquerade ball. My servants stand ready to assist you all with your costuming needs. You will be entertained by trying to guess who your fellow guests are! At midnight, we shall all remove our masks and see who is who."

“A banquet and a masked ball,” exclaims Brook to her friends. “Sounds like we’ve stepped into some Hollywood movie!”
“Let’s try to take a look at the dead guy before the festivities kick off, yeah?”

A play? Gui galled inwardly. Men prancing about with overloud voices and feathers in their pants! He almost wished he’d been thrown out!
He heard Brook say she wanted to see the dead man. That made the play sound almost inviting!

Jacques:
Jacques smiles (grimly) and nods agreeably. He will of course join any polite applause.

Jacques could whisper to Leonardo briefly while the audience was applauding without much chance of being overheard, but he might be seen doing so.

"Let's," Story says to Brook. "The 'King in Yellow.' I don't think I've heard of it. I have enough clothes from home for either of you to come as Time Lords if you wish."

Elizabeth doesn’t answer, she stands there looking very pale and puzzled.

Spotting Jean Luc sketching, Gui took a careful step backwards, so that others in the room were between him and the artist. He’d learned the hard way that it was better that people didn’t have a record of what he looked like.

"Elizabeth?" Story says. "Are you all right? Did that mean something to you?"
Re: IC-Ep 1-The Duc's Court(Everyone)
Brook also cocks her head in inquiry.

Jacques:
Jacques just nods and says, "Hmmmm..."

Jacques:
Jacques, no longer whispering but speaking quietly so as not to disturb the Duc in conducting his Audience, says to Da Vinci, "Well Master, so long as the dead thief was acting alone, you should anticipate no further intrusions." There is a dry edge to his tone.

Elizabeth looks at Story and Brooke and shakes her head, “No, I think we’re in trouble- the play, The King in Yellow, has terrible significance; I’ve heard of it before. But we can’t talk here; as soon as I can, I’ll tell you.”
Re: IC-Ep 1-The Duc's Court(Everyone)
Brook nods. “I guess we’ll be dismissed to get ready for the festivities soon; we can talk then,” she whispers.

"I am not convinced he was," replied Leonardo to Jacques. "I am highly suspicious of Monsieur l'Argot, for one thing. There is also the matter of the lady who hired Giuseppe."
"Luncheon will be served at midday, here in the Great Hall," announced the Duc. "Until then, feel free to explore the palace and its grounds, mingle with your fellow guests, peruse my library, and admire my art collection. If you need directions or have questions, feel free to ask my servants."
