#round 2a

Ventus:

He broke his own heart (literally) and then took a decade long nap to recover :]

He's managed to fall into deep sleeps on multiple occasions, one of which lasted over a DECADE. Fighting off possession by darkness really takes it out of you, especially when your heart ends up outside your body.

Falling unconscious for worrying amounts of time is his main coping mechanism

Ven better win this tournament it was LITERALLY DESIGNED FOR HIM

G'raha Tia:

He learns a lot in his time from hibernating and when he wakes up from hibernating. He's a sweet boy and has great leadership skills. He's also an idiot (affectionate)

In the early hours of the next morning, after a surprisingly simple labour, Martha welcomed her new daughter Tabitha. ‘She’s beautiful,’ David told her, ‘Looks like you.’

‘How can you tell?’ Martha asked, ‘She’s only a baby.’

‘It’s because she’s perfect,’ David kissed them both.

After settling into a routine with Tabitha with help from their maid Harriet, Martha was keen to return to socialising. She wrote to George and Eliza but they were still refusing all invitations. George had played chess with David, but she missed Eliza. More than that she missed their friends from before, she loved the adventure of this new opportunity, but she longed to create a social circle around the family. Martha was also well aware that her daughter was already dreaming of romance, and that David would definitely encourage her, so it was best to meet the young woman as a family.

When the ladies came to dinner Frances greeted them both and they settled around the dining table together, after the meal the ladies withdrew together – Martha playing piano, Fanny reading and Mabel and Frances playing chess. At dinner the talk was of business, of new friends, and of art again ...

... a lot of art. Frances was starting to feel that she was missing something, she had not even known her father knew anything about art, and Mabel talked of beautiful things she made in pottery.

‘Do you think I could?’ Frances asked Mabel as they played chess together.

‘Could do what?’ Mabel asked.

‘Learn to make things, you make it sound so wonderful.’

‘I am sure you could do anything you set your mind to.’ Mabel told her and calmly moved her piece into a winning position, ‘Except win this game of chess.’

Fanny glanced across from her book, intrigued, she did not remember the last time she had heard the young woman speak with any humour.

"With the devastating elimination of Patti LuPone, Christine Baranski may well be our reigning *Diva* in the most literal sense of the word. Are you truly worthy of the title if you don't inspire drag egos? Go on, close your eyes right now and picture a living Broadway Diva. Baranski is going to be on that list every time."
