HSHQTASK059: FAREWELL !

when did you join ? what made you join ? what do you remember from the plotlines that were current at the time ? where were you in life when you joined and where are you now ?

i was in college! april 2018. but i was looking for something new to join. i liked the political aspect of the rp, it was still a pairs rp with the alliance system that seemed fun. i was in the middle of my political science major so i liked the idea of using what i was learning. also the main was very pretty. a lot of it was new to me, that's when we were all using icons and i didn't know what the heck small text was.

which characters have you written over the years ?

oh no, let's see: elyse, aslan, michael, daisuke, roxanna, stella, rebeka (i think was her name??) (stella part 1 kinda), ester (remember the pons?), domas (daisuke part 1 lbr), there was a daniel bruhl fc early on rip to him, ming fa (jianguo part 1), jianguo (my sweet boy, i did you dirty), queen of nambia i don't remember your name but you were fun, duchess of brittany i think?

what is your favourite plotline that you've been part of ?

andorra! also layslan my beloved.

what about other people's plotlines ?

the russian plots were always super sexy and the zulus were so good. also england. just all of it.

who is your favourite character from the ones you've played ? why ? what made you love them ? what made them so fun to write ?

elyse, my little nightmare. she grew up with me it feels like. i was studying nationalism and populism in my undergrad degree and i wanted to play with those styles of politics. she's so screwed up but i love her. her insecurity and the way that makes her clings to her choices, even when they are clearly bad. i think we all do that sometimes, we fear something and the create the situation that we fear. honorable mention to my baby michael and my favorite villain domas/daisuke who would just plan fun.

if you could relive a plotline, which would it be ?

i wish i could live in farnauld forever. novel version when?

is there a plotline that you'd edit now if you could ?

probably my early ones, like early prussia. i learned so much in this half decade about writing, storytelling, and working in a group. i am entirely grateful to all of you for teaching me with kindness and love.

what's a plotline you wish you would have been able to finish before closing or just write more of ?

i'm not going to lie, i've had kalyse on my mind recently. but we had a whole thing with michael planned out and northern ireland which would have been fun. and we had some stuff planned for daisuke too that would have been interesting. also, if we had done it, you would have screamed at the mexico/cuba plot

what is your favourite ooc memory ?

all of them but hshqmas is always a delight. also all the april fools admin announcements which got me every year and now this *weeps*

where can others find you if they want to get in touch ?

i'm on discord as ladyjane and my rph is @abbydoesrph. maybe i'll up a 1x1 someday. idk hmu.

what else would you like to say ?

i'm not going to say everything i want to say because i'm in my feelings. i feel like i grew up in hshq; as a person and as a writer. i've joined and left a lot of groups in this time but i always come back here. come home. i want to say thank you. and thank you for your patience and communication and still loving me when i know i screwed up. i can only hope i've left you with as many good feelings as you all have left me with. and thank you in particular to the admins for your care, attention, and dedication to the group. honestly, you're outstanding. i wish i had bosses who would asked for and provided feedback as well you three. all of my love, and i mean all of it, to hshq. xoxo.

princess elyse of prussia arriving at the celebration. this appearance comes just weeks after the princess and prince consort announce that princess elyse is pregnant with the couple's third child.

#hshqevent046 #one last floral dress + bonus hshqbaby

[elysefz]

the wedding of elyse, princess of prussia and nikolai, prince consort of prussia and duke of kaliningrad.

the wedding took place in spring, first in kaliningrad, with a second ceremony and celebration in dresden. elyse meant to have a second outfit for the reception, but she loved this dress so much that she didn't want to take it off.

elyse wore the queen alexandra kokoshnik tiara during the ceremony, loaned to her by the russian royal family (begrudgingly).

for the dresden ceremony, elyse wore another floral gown and a smaller, german tiara. the couple departed on their honeymoon from dresden, with the princess in another white ensemble.

"you're right, who am i to stand in the way of her career. more smoking in the new year." she took the champagne happily from hafiz and looked at the other two women. "resolution should be something you're doing for yourself. dessert is a good one. being nice is just who you are." @oh-hxfiz

"What's a goodbye cigarette without champagne?" Hafiz plucked four flutes of the crisp bubbly from a by passing waiter with a wink. "You're too pretty for stress winkles. Gwenie, what's yours? Mine is to protect my peace and terrorize others...kidding." @fannicroy

she wanted to kiss strangle him. "six am. it's not a resolution, just an agreement for the night. it's a party, after all. don't want to cause trouble. sorry to disappoint."

"clearly." he countered, following her gaze as a smile tugged at his lips. "true. how soon do you think you'll be breaking this resolution? that is, if you decide to let bygones be bygones?"

#( nikolai. )

[elysefz]

"it's nice. i just think if we're this close to vienna, it's better shopping." she leaned in her chair to get closer to him, champagne glass dangling lazily from her hand. "the slovaks? that every time i see one of them i think he's the most handsome brother, and then i see the next one and change my mind. it's really not fair."

"It's not quite the Alps but," Max knows she has her own opinions about various mountain ranges - but he's missed his cousin and closest friend. The chaos after the end of the war had him tied up in Bern, and he's not seen Elyse in some time. "What do you think of the Slovaks?" @elysefz

#( max. )

[elysefz]

she smacked ignác lightly on the shoulder, shaking her head in fond disapproval. "one of these days someone isn't going to know you're joking. i am looking at one of the most beautiful women in europe and there's nothing your uncle can do about that." elyse looked at daria with a smile, "you'll have to steer me in the right direction if he gets too close." @dvrias

" oh, trust me. you would know if you were one of the lucky one's to be graced with his presence. " daria chimes in. ( @ignvc )

#( ignác. ) #( daria. ) #( event 45. )

[elysefz]

"avoiding you would mean i would have to think about you. clearly, i've been too busy for that." she looked him over. "i don't see why not. it's a new year. letting go of grievances and resolutions are usually what people do."

"You know... I wasn't avoiding you." He mused, swirling the champagne in his glass. "Although, you could've been avoiding me... can we let bygones be bygones for an evening?" @elysefz

#( nikolai. ) #( event 45. ) #so its kissing guys that's also what people do

[elysefz]

"you can bum one from me. i have to get rid of this pack by midnight." she held out the case with a lighter, "my resolution is to stop doing things that make my esthetician sign heavily."

"Could I please bum a cigarette? Last one of the year and everything." She paused before giving a light laugh. "Or perhaps of my life if I pick my resolutions well tonight." ( @hshqstarters )

#( fanni. ) #( gwen. ) #( event 45. )

[elysefz]

"it's beautiful. i appreciate that you splurged on the really nice champagne." she considered, "i think i met him. he wasn't that bad. unless i met the wrong uncle. how many do you have?"

" and how are YOU liking things so far ? i apologize for my uncle in advance. you will know what i mean and who i mean when you meet him. unless you have already ? that wouldn't be good at all. "

#( ignác. )

[elysefz]

"really? she said that to your face? and that's why we don't invite third cousins to family christmas. honestly." a put-upon huff. "anyway, i'm so glad you're here. i think hans is happier with you here." @philippvs

[elysefz]

elyse was at her best in faux fur and knee-high boots, so she stayed at the hotel. "you know, i was starting to feel like you were hiding for from us," she said, leaning back against the bar. "and i can understand why but she is family after all." her tone wasn't as cutting as it could have been, as it would have been, if they hadn't been together on the island. @johannesgrunenberg

elyse was used to putting through arguments behind her. it was all water under the bridge at the end of the day; they were too intertwined to stay mad at each other. she hummed, "yes, well, then she'd have to ask for your help, and i doubt she'd like that very much." elyse sipped her drink and raised an eyebrow, "well, perhaps they are well matched, stubborn. though she's far too ambitious to be put off by hans' own stubbornness. a woman like wants to go places."

“So it seems,” Max nodded lightly, taking a sip of his own drink. Despite being almost the same age as Hans, Elyse had always been Max’s confidant first - an intentional move by their mothers to foster a close relationship between the two future leaders. And after their slight argument ( that was putting it lightly ) over her decision to move troops at the behest of the French king - it was nice to know some things would never change. “Had we known she was coming, something could have been lent from the royal collection.” He shrugged and took another sip. “Catherine thinks she came because I told Hans he needs to step up as Duke of Bern and get more involved, but he’s far too stubborn to ask for her help.”

#(maximillian. ) #no i dont know why its doing the thing again

[elysefz]

she hummed and smiled, almost a chuckle. "you're the hero who figures it all out, of course." she shook the king's hand, eyes bright and self-deprecating laugh this side of modest and charming. "it's a pleasure, your majesty. princess elyse of prussia and i'm sure it was all bad." she glanced at the chair. "i promise i haven't seen any saboteurs with a saw near here."

"food for the press, definitely. or some kingdom brought their saw - maybe they'll reveal themselves in an dramatic entrance at midnight. which, again, food for the press - so how do i win this?" laughing, tiwonge sat down on the chair, and politely offered her his hand to shake. "tiwonge mulenga, king of zambia. it's nice to finally meet you, i've heard a lot about you. and don't promise me things about this chair! my expectations are now high."
