The Premise

(This was sent by e-mail to the main Lost list)

Lords and Ladies of the Lost -

This weekend past we lost one of our own. The Fallen Fair reminded us of what fear and horror can truly be as we lost our host, as well as were saved from the Others by some of our bravest. Our congratulations and thanks to those who were able to keep us safe. And yet while we are safe, one among us, the host, fell. Camilla Venery, we morn you.

I care not for rumor or speculation, nor of the actions taken that were less than prudent. I care that one of us has fallen. It is something we should morn with a heavy heart, and fear just how close we - and her - came to returning to slavery.

But yet we cannot face the world full of sadness or hide in the past. It would not be how Camilla would be remembered. Therefore, I invite all to the Bad Penny for a wake in her honor. One of us has fallen. Our tears will be shed. But on October 29th, we shall raise our glasses in honor and come together in merriment for the joy that life brings.


The Lady of Thorns


P.S. A postscript that should not need to exist. If any cannot control themselves with weapon or fist, we ask that you do not attend. Violence is not welcome within the Bad Penny, and negativity at a wake is very bad manners. Thank you for your respect.

The Place

The Bad Penny- A Notorious Hollow


Physical Location- Hedge within Charleston, West Virginia. The Bad Penny is located off of Smith Rd, near Kableton & Anne Lewis Rd.


Description- From the outside, The Bad Penny appears to be a Saloon from the Wild West era of American History. It appears to be a two floor establishment, crafted from oak and other timber scraped together over the years. A large penny hangs over the double door entrance. Upon entering the establishment, the smell of whiskey and cigarette smoke fills the air and clings to your clothing. A self-animated piano is found playing whatever tune would fit the moment perfectly. The main bar room area is quite large, in fact, abnormally large. There's always enough room at the bar, regardless of how many people are there. The barkeep, Ed Clerogen can be found serving drinks and other pleasures while monitoring the Penny's occupancy using the guestbook, an enchanted tome that keeps track of every occupant in the bar. Rumor has it Clerogen won the Guestbook in a bet against an Antiquarian. Several hallways lead off in various directions. Some lead to guest rooms, others to doors in and out of the place, and finally, one door leads to the kitchen. No one has ever seen the kitchen, but the rumor is that Clerogen has indentured goblins working the stoves.


[edit]

The Welcome

There are very nice printed note cards that welcome everyone to the event. They are expensive in heavy stationary and in a modern blue and black set of graphics with a thorned border. They say:

Camilla's Wake
 October 29, 2007
 Mourn. Remember. Celebrate.


There are two cards set back on the welcome table (unlike the hundred or so pieces of stationary that mention the wake.) One is blue and one is black. They are subdued in appearance and are clearly less important than the announcement of the wake. In pale blue ink the black one says "A heartfelt thank you to Althea Sexton for her knowledge and wits that saved the rest from Camilla's fate." The blue one has black ink: "Congratulations to Blake den Fleischer, victor of the Autumn Hunt. By his hand, one more loyalist is no more."

The Hosts

Laurel Thorn - The Lady of Thorns is hosting the wake of Camilla

Mask: Laurel's long dark blue hair marks her as a creature of the depths. Yet despite her fondness for black and sardonic streak of humor her dress and manner of action show that the Caribbean is her home. Her skin is darkly tanned, her clothing is lightweight and flowing, and she moves with the easy grace of the islands.

Mein: The depths of the ocean are not meant for man to know. To trespass here is death or worse. It is here where Laurel resonates; far below where any currents flow or pulse exists. Cold deep water, places where light cannot go.

Ed Clerogen - Fast Eddie owns the Bad Penny, the bar that is hosting the wake.

Mask: Ed is an attractive, but unrefined man. He wears elegant, tailored clothing that is soiled with mud, dust, and dirt. Ed is known to hop out of bed in his long-johns, grease his hair, and don his suit as a coat of arms without bothering to shave or shower. Ed wears simple black leather boots. Ed's most notable physical characteristic are his piercing green eyes.

Mein: The epitome of simple elegance, Ed appears as a vintage saloon owner from the lawless west. His appearance is most confusing, as Ed appears refined, polite, and humble....until he speaks. Although he is a student of etiquette and protocol, Ed Clerogen is revered for his hot temper and vulgar vocabulary that seem to present themselves at the most inappropriate times. Perhaps even more of a mystery is how Ed always manages to appear flawless, whether in appearance or amongst the social gatherings of the Lost.

The People

This is a page for those participants in scene for Camilla's Funeral held at the Bad Penny, Funeral Date October, 29th 2007.

Please try and keep this alphabetical for the sake of organization


  • Aklia Grimm is a woman of around 25 years old. Looking much like a topiaried rose bush with red hair and green eyes. Standing at about 5'3" tall she wears a red lace babydoll dress. Striking Looks 4, Autumn Mantle 2.
  • Andros Tall Fairest Draconic is head of security for the event Sl 2 Summer Mantel 5
  • Ae Lament (Aka Exit amongst other names) Hard[wired]. Taut. Bound in muscle and bone. Ae seems to either loom or slouch depending on her mood. Eyes perpetually shaded, nails cut short and features an ageless study of neutrality which would allow this woman to blend in any situation if not for the arresting beauty which marks them. There is predator’s grace which marks her movements whether in attire casual or formal, though always with a nod towards style. Sinew and thews moving in a fashion which mark her as a natural athlete or perhaps to the more aware: a solider. SL2, Summer5.
  • Arien Wynters slender dancer build with long silvery/white hair that spills down his back . Dressed this evening in a dark purple silk shirt, black vest, leather pants, high riding boots, glints of silver jewelry at his ears and throat of amethyst and silver in the forms of leaves wrapped about the stones.

Elemental/levin

  • Blake den Fleischer -- One of the biggest darkest angriest hounds you have ever seen... oh you meant the person.. well angry still seems to apply most of the time with those yellow canine eyes. He stands about 5'8" wearing pretty nondescript clothes, military boots, and a black bandana. Over it all though he has a coat that looks to be made from the hide of some very sturdy mythic beast, beautiful leather workmanship if a bit dark.
  • Brand is a man of slightly more then medium height, and well-built. His hair short and black, his eyes a deep blue. His voice and stature betray his towering self-confidence, egotism combined with a kind of innocence. His mannerisms and speech show the upmost courtesy to all, common or noble alike. Mein Description: Brand stature does not change much in his mein, but tattoos of flame can be seen moving along his skin. Brand is often seen in hedgespun armor made of unmelting ice. Relevant Mechanics: Striking Looks 4, Fireheart
  • c Faraday - Her fae mien in a subtle thing. Lights begin to twinkle from the folds of her clothing, the fabric catches and reflects the light in strange ways. Her beauty holds, but becomes something alien and almost off-putting, her hair turning pure white and her skin loosing nearly all color. Her strangely disconnected air makes her seem somehow removed from the flow of reality, although her gaze often has an uncomfortable note of obsession when she shows an interest in someone or something. Striking Looks 2, Fairest Bright One.
  • Calliope - Calliope is a living fire, alive and ever changing. Her Mantle forms as a potpurri scent smelling of different flowers. Fireheart Elemental
  • Candy - Candy is tall and slender, more so than your average human, and appears to be in her early to mid twenties. Her long hair is the color of spun gold and her eyes a deep violet. The pallor of her skin gives a beautifully haunting appearance to her rather fragile looking frame. While her Mask shrouds her fae mien, there is something wholly unearthly about her, as if she could have easily stepped from your dream into being.
  • Cinder - Cinder is a short, stout wizened with skin the color of broth and eyes the color of coals. She is dressed all in black (unusual for her), from her silk blouse down to her slacks and polished shoes.
  • Durendal is a young teenager of around 18 and stands six feet in high, though handsome, he is more child-like then striking. His features are elegant and vibrant, though there is something beneath them that seems withered much like his gray and silver hair. His skin is black as night and his ears pointed and tilted back much like a drow. His lips are a delicate violet tone and his eyes shine cream-tone and soothingly white. He carries the smell of a cold spring rain, and when he steps it seems to lag in sound like thunder after lightning. He wears a large white shirt with sleeves that drape clearly over his hands, and brown BDU pants with many pockets. (Striking looks 2, Spring mantle 4, previous spring king of Orlando.)
  • Edria Meredith is a 5'4" young woman, more out of a waterhouse painting than much else. Her features are strikingly beautiful, earth toned and vibrant like fall burst in full bloom. She has long dark brown hair with streaks of auburn, gold, and green and golden-amber eyes. Her ears are long and pointed and she is clearly fairest. The scent of autumn fruits and harvest time surrounds her and an autumn crown hovers faintly above her head. She wears a crimson velvet gown and soft leather riding boots, well worn and servicable. (Striking looks 4, autumn mantle 4, autumn queen of Orlando, Flowering Fairest.) Edria_Meredith
  • Evie is a woman in her late 20s; pale with dark hair strewn with pink-tinged white blossoms. Where she walks, pink-tinged flowers grow, the longer she stands in one place, the deeper pink they are, verging sometimes on scarlet. She is surrounded softly by the smell of soft green herbs, apple blossoms, and sweet spice. She is dressed in an elegant gown of darkest red Hedgespun from the petals of midnight roses, the portrait collar accentuated by an Edwardian filigree necklace of garnets and diamonds. (Flowering Fairest, Striking Looks 4, Spring Mantle 4.)
  • Gaius Arctorus is a Draconic Fairest, dressed in a red roman tunic and black slacks that end in boots. A blue cloak, lined in gold, rests on his shoulders and is clasped with wolf-heads in gold. Red and black scales flicker along his skin in a very striking fashion.
  • Hawthorne is an Elemental Woodblood of the Spring Court. He possesses the merits Giant Size, Striking Looks (4) and (Spring) Mantle 5. A professor at UT Austin prior to his transformation, Hawthorne continues to apply his education as an Ethnobotanist to the Hedge. The Elemental stands an impressive eleven feet tall and every inch covered with moss, bark, vine, and leaf. Small birds and insects, obviously comfortable with this giant mobile tree as their home, nest and move about his branches without care or cause. His weighty stride, almost as impressive as his height, shakes the ground with each step as he walks. The green eyes, peeking out behind large bushy eyebrows, glow warmly with the promise of Spring and his smile partially covered by the leafy mustache is friendly and inviting. He speaks in a loud, low rumble and radiates a sense of tranquility that most find comforting and contagious.
  • Harlequin aka Luna Max - Glitter and makeup that does not seem to ever come off dresses her face. A painted smile and a glimmer in her eye hinting to the entertainment to be had with her, greets people. She is dressed in a stunning gown of grey, as she moves in it the softest sobs of a childs dispair is heard, and gems as bright as a deserted young brides tears adorn her neck.
  • Jack Thorn tries not to attract too much attention. His large eyes looking around cautiously as he steps into view. Dressed in a pair of black boots, blue denim cargo pants, and a long sleeve hoodie. His hair is a soft brown, only a few tendrils poking out from the hood. Only when he yawns do the sharp canines appear for a split second.


  • James Daniels is a tall, strong looking man who appears to be in his mid-twenties. His brown, curly hair is constantly wind-swept, a testament to his Airtouched kith. Blue eyes look out over a face that generally wears a sad expression, the shadowed areas appearing blueish in whatever light he stands in. He's dressed in a dark blue kendo top and a pair of black hakama pants, into which a katana has been tucked neatly. (Striking looks 4, Airtouched Elemental)
  • Jefferson looks to be in his thirties. His eyes are bright and youthful not reflecting his years. He has dark hair to his shoulders and is dressed in a black t-shirt that has a large symbol on it that occasionally lights up along with a pair of black jeans and dark grey tennis shoes. His mein shows him with skin and features that are hard to make out as the light seems to sink into them. His eyes are large and round, made of metal with lights in them that seem to go on forever. Throughout his form light occasionally blinks on and off or streams from one area to another.
  • Jim Darque is tall and thin, exceedingly pale with deep set eyes, and wearing black at all times. While he appears to be solid closer to the earth and his feet, the higher one gets in their appraisal the less substantial he becomes like the flickering of a candle flame until they reach his tapering ears. Highly transformed by the Fae, Jim's head is large for his long slim neck, black eyes bulging over slim feminine cheekbones, so that his skull has an almost perfect egg shape with a point at his diabolical goatee.
  • Johnny Thorn has glowing, electric-blue hair. Rock! He's wearing all white tonight; an expensive wool pea-coat atop a wide-collared dress shirt with a tie that matches his hair. His pants are white with metal studs down the sides, and he's got big pearl boots with silver scrollwork.

John DoeJohn looks like a living mirror from head to toe. His eyes are a silvery shade of blue, and his hair looks like threads of silver. He usually dresses in fine suits, or comfortable (but stylish) clothing. The only odd thing that people can see is two scorched burns that look like handprints on his wrists. Though they marr the mirrored surface of his skin, John says nothing about them, and wears them as a badge of honor.

  • Kalen Blazenheart is an average hieght woman who apears to be in her early-to-mid 40's. Her mein is obviously beastial with wild dark-brown and black hair contained in lots of braids up away from her face which continues in in a fine dusting of fur down the back of her neck, dark fathomless eyes, and taloned hands. There is also a strong, but not unpleasent, musky smell about her. She seems to be aspected toward the general appearance of a wolverine. She is striking in a predatory, sensual way (Striking looks 2) but is obviously well-muscled and strong. She is dressed simply and practically in a form-fitting black leather vest with black pants tucked tightly into tall black leather boots. Her only accessories are matching silver arm cuffs around her upper-arms and a gold torc around her neck. For those that know her th twin shortswords that are normally strapped to her back are missing.
  • KevinM is tall and fairly thin. His face is a little gaunt but what most sticks out is his glowing blue eyes. They are bright blue LED's, and while he doesn't seem to have eyelids, occasionally they flip off for a moment to make it look like blinking. His face and body seems to be compromised of various circuit boards and robotics.
  • Mrs. Smythe is an average looking woman, small of stature. She wears clothes reminiscent of the Victorian period - high necked, long sleeved shirt, ankle length skirt, ankle boots, all in fall's colors. Her mien is almost identical to her mask;the yellow eyes and hints of feathers tell of her time in Arcadia (Beast - Hunterheart[African Goshawk]). Her civilized demeanor and dress are a thin veneer over a clearly feral nature. Standing close, one can almost hear the rhythm of the Congo...
  • LadyD is a Draconic that stands 5'11" and is dressed in a long elegant hedgespun gown that appears spun of liquid platinum her long red hair is pinned up with tiny silver pins tiny tendrils wisp about her throat russet leaves adorn her hair as well her pale cream skin is burnished till it almost shines only her eyes a striking blue appear hard on this splendid frame *StL:4, Mantle:4 Autumn, Spring Goodwill:2*
  • Lady Zephyr is the woman with the large peacock tail, and vividly blue eyes. Tonight she wears a long piece of black chiffon wrapped about her in the greek style, her dark brown hair covered in mourning. Underneath the chiton is a modest deep royal dress. Golden jewelry flashes from her neck, her wrists and her fingers. *Striking Looks 4, Spring Mantle 5*
  • Lelland is a Fairest of the Autumn Court. He has the hint of a tan from days on the sea. He tends to wear dark colors, sometimes all black. It is hard to tell what the length of his dark hair is, as he has it covered by a black bandana. He is wearing leather strapped boots, and doesn't seem to have any noticeable weapons besides a long dagger at his hip, but there's an odd bulge on the side of his right boot. He is charming and a bit wild-eyed. His accent is American, but the region cannot be placed.
  • Lysle is a lupine beast, with short grey fur covering her body, golden eyes, and a very focused expression. http://changeling.cam-wiki.org/index.php/Lysle_Keyes#Overview for pic and more details. Tonight she's wearing a black velvet blouse with a diamond studded pin that looked like a stylized silver lily.
  • Mari-Morgan is a young woman, and obviously a water elemental; her brown hair tends to drop water once in awhile. She dresses in a black trumpet skirt, a black blouse and over it a burgundy and gold captain's coat. Her ears are draped in earcuffs of amber and pahua shell, and from her neck hang cameo necklaces, pearl necklaces, and other oddities likely scavenged from shipwrecks. Something vicious is about her, and when she smiles, her teeth are just a bit pointed... (Striking Looks 4, Mantle 2:Autumn)
  • Nathaniel Fellows is tall, relatively handsome but something seems to give him a more plain appearance, allowing someone to easy overlook him, despite his social acuity. His skin is the color of full moonlight and the shadows seem to cling to him to accentuate rather then diminish his appearance. His eyes are great dark pools that seem to cling to the darkness and want to swallow the onlooker in them. They are deep and dark, and those few people unlucky enough to see the truth in them, never remain the same. Others have compare the experience to being swallowed whole by darkness. He has straight black hair that seems to accent his face and streaks of silver. When he is quiet and remains in one location for to long some people claim to smell the scent of lotus' around him. He wears a dark suit and cape. http://changeling.cam-wiki.org/index.php/Image:Dark_Feather.jpg
  • Ozwald Savile is an older man, his skin pale and wrinkled. The most notable feature is his long crooked nose. His fingertips have linen badges on them, tied with little bows, but truly being held on by the red scabs that have seeped through from beneath them. He wears a black wool frock coat, nothing too special, it sings of a worker. Sharp italian shoes and well fitted slacks peak beneath. His stature is poor, and it looks like he only stands somewhat straight from a cane he walks with, one he no doubt needs. He has no jewelery say for a pocket watch chain that hangs from underneath his coat, and a gold band on his left ring finger. His eyes, are a blue, almost white, maybe suffering from a catarac but he wears simple bifocals that crest low on his nose, looking at you, he adjusts his head to see through them properly.
  • Ronin Is just under six feet tall, and very forgettable looking. He has brown hair and eyes, and medium tone white skin. He would be very hard to pick out of a line-up. He has no mein (so he appears to be just a regular human).
  • Rya Ousel She is a graceful, sinuous woman in her early to mid-20s, dressed in gypsy fashion - for fall, and Camilla, all fall colors of reds, oranges and golds. She moves like a dancer, and watches what goes on with the direct gaze of a hunting feline. Those who look at her mein will see tufts at the tips of her ears, much like a lynx, and three whiskers on each cheek, long and white, and very sensitive. She is spring mantle three, and the scent of Wisteria seems to follow her around..
  • Ryver stands at a scant 5'10' and weighs not but 140 pounds. His skin, though tan, is smooth as water-worn glass. His clear gray eyes pale like the clouds of the calm before the storm. His hair is black and flows like the tendrils of a sea creature. Though he is only 24, his eyes show the pain of a lifetime. He is wearing black slacks, a black t-shirt, a black suit jacket, and a black top hat. He is carrying his silver flute and a small red journal. Relavent mechanics: Elemental Waterborn, Winter Mantle 3.
  • Satrap Grimm me is a tall slender man in a civil war cut suit that is very obviously hedgespun, he has shoulder length auburn hair worn in a braid and eyes that look like solid pearls. He appears almost completely human with living Ivy growing up his throat. (Striking looks 4, Spring Mantle 4, Autumn goodwill 2 Warren Alexander Grimm
  • Stephan Glamourdust is a fairly tall (6'3"), but very thin individiual, with straight shoulder length white on his head. He is wearing formal robes, obviously hedge spun. Stephan's face is completely covered by his wax mask, it is clearly tinged with dark colors due to the solemn nature of the evening.
  • Summer Wind is very shy, sweet woman, about 5'9", long blond pig tails, in a long floor length home made deep green skirt, and a soft medium blue tunic top, and a pink scarf belt. In her ever busy hands is her embroidery, currently working on a vining rose design, with thorns, growing up from a single large red rose in the corner. She almost never makes eye contact and is clearly a wall flower, and very shy.
  • Tiny Tim is a man looking in his mid 40's he is dressed in a very fashionable black tuxedo and very clean shoes, he carries a glass in the shape of a skeleton as he walks straw and leaves blow up aroudn his feet and a small of pumpkins apples and burnt leaves follow him where he goes. Tim is a Fame 3 Best selling horror novelist, book titles include, Beyond the Hedge, Into the Brambles, and the Thorns that Bind. All changelings having read them will realize they are survival guides as much as anything else.
  • Tristan Howlett Mein: Howlett's mein belies his feral nature. Coarse, thick,long dark brown hair and a full beard with shocking streaks of silver and white emulate the fur of a Wolverine, complete with thick dark hair on his arms and legs. His dark eyes have a peircing and unsettling quality. His teeth are sharp, as are his claws. Masque: Trist looks like your average, outdoorsy, rough and tumble sort. His once dark hair is graying, his face is generally friendly enough. Usually he wears comfortable and durable clothing: blue jeans, boots, Army Surplus jackets and shirts, and multi pocketed 'Ranger' vests.
  • Vladimir Karakov is a tall man in his mid thirties wearing a long velvet jacket with tails and a leather tophat. He has on knee high black boots that gleam in the light, and white pants. A pocket watch chain can be seen leading to one of the pockets in his jacket. His eyes are a bright blue and he has a short well trimmed red goatee.
  • Yuki is moderately tall and quite slim. Her skin sparkles like snow under the midday sun, and she wears a deep blue gown that is perhaps a touch more revealing than is entirely appropriate for the occasion. A touch of frost highlights her cheekbones, and blue hair tumbles past her shoulders. Oddly, the scent of a fresh spring breeze surrounds the Snowskin. (Profile at Baby.)
