Trying to get a good screenshot on PS4 is a pain in the ass but here is my lovely boy, Percival De Sardet. He is a big mama’s boy with a huge heart and a tiny brain, just a big, lovable dumb fuck who somehow managed to train as a tank without accidentally killing anyone. He is trans but this is a very well-guarded secret at court and Constantin and Kurt are the only people outside of the immediate family who know. He becomes more open about himself and his journey after spending time with the Nauts who I hc as having much less rigid definitions/expectations of gender.

He could also use a haircut but he likes it when Vasco combs it for him so he’s content being scruffy.

#fantasy hand-wavey hrt don't @ me #high charisma zero intuition #i know it's a bug but flavia is referred to as both he and she #therefor nauts confirmed as non-binary icons #percy de sardet #greedfall #de sardet #someone on yt also has a DS who looks just like mine and it's very strange

astral for whoever you want :D

astral - of or relating to the stars­

unsurprisingly, it’s Greedfall again, but not Nadia/Kurt for once! Instead, it’s Nadia/Vasco! pre-relationship but definitely flirting, on the boat ship to Teer Fradee.

---

Just before sunset, one of the crewmates of the Sea Horse had brought out a fiddle, and then had been joined with concertina, pennywhistle, and drum. By full dark, more than a dozen others - Naut, Coin Guard, and Congregation alike - had answered the call of music, and now laughter and singing drifted on the gentle ocean breeze as they danced along the deck.

Nadia leaned on the railing near the helm, watching the revelry but not joining in herself. They’d been out at sea a little over a month now, and while she had started to feel a bit of kinship with the sailors and soldiers in their entourage, she didn’t feel comfortable imposing on their merriment.

She became aware of the steady thud of approaching footsteps, and turned as Captain Vasco joined her at the rail. He had eschewed his hat, most likely because the sun was down, and he looked younger without it, less formidable. He always had such an air of easy authority about him, the kind that made you want to listen when he spoke, that it was easy to forget that he was only a year or two older than she was. She found herself both envious of and intrigued by it.

He turned his head enough to catch her eye, smiling slightly as if to let her know that he’d caught her staring. “Good evening, Your Excellency.”

“Good evening, Captain.” She gestured toward the musicians. “You’re not going to join in?”

“Someone needs to make sure the ship doesn’t sink while they’re slacking off,” he said, but she could hear the fondness in his voice. He loved his crew as much as they loved him. “They like to have a little festivity sometimes on calm nights like this. Music, dancing, drinking. Keeps morale up, and as long as no one is too drunk to do their jobs, I see no reason to stop them.”

“Do you play any instruments, Captain?” Nadia asked, hoping to take the opportunity to learn a little more about him.

He shook his head. “Flavia tried to teach me the fiddle, but I didn’t take to it. Not a bad singer, though.” He looked away from the growing dance floor and turned the full force of his attention her way. “What about you?”

“I was a very mediocre piano player for three years before my teacher gave it up as hopeless.” She had tried, really she had. Madam Duret had told her she simply ‘didn’t possess the gift’ for music.

“Can you sing?”

She shrugged. “Good enough for tavern halls.”

Vasco laughed, the sound as light and lovely as the fiddle below. “That’s all that matters.”

They fell silent, and Nadia’s eyes drifted away from the dancers and up to the sky above them. It was nearly cloudless, and the lanterns on the ship and waning moon weren’t bright enough to interfere with the vast and breathtaking view. Her preferred studies had always been more earthbound, but she suddenly understood the draw of astronomy. She couldn’t imagine ever getting tired of such a sight.

“Are there always so many stars?” she whispered.

“There are.” He matched her tone, though instead of awe his voice held curiosity. “Can’t see them like this from the city, I suppose.”

“It’s beautiful.”

“Yes. Beautiful.” Something about the way he said it drew her gaze down from the sky, only to find his eyes already on her. As soon as he noticed her looking, he glanced back up at the stars. “How much do you know about them?”

She considered his admittedly handsome profile in the dim lantern light, but his face wasn’t giving away any hint of what he was thinking. After a few moments of quiet contemplation, she gave in and took the bait. “Probably not as much as you, but I’ve studied star charts before.”

Vasco nodded sagely, though she didn't miss the twitch at the corner of his lips that said he was stifling a smile. "You know, we Nauts have different names for constellations than what you’d find on those charts."

"I’ll bet you do." Nadia was fairly sure she'd heard that line before, though never with quite so much sincerity. "And what would it cost me to learn some of the Nauts’ vaunted secrets?"

She expected 'let me buy you a drink,' maybe even an offer of dinner. That was how these conversations usually went. Instead, he just leaned closer, close enough that their shoulders brushed, and murmured, "You could say please."

There was no way it was that simple. She could almost feel the trap closing around her, and yet she still found herself tempted. Surprisingly so. Maybe it had something to do with the captain's natural charisma. Maybe she simply liked having the undivided attention of a handsome sailor, for however long it lasted.

Before she could answer, a voice rang out from below.

"Captain!" It was Jonas, who had finally noticed the two of them standing in the wings. He sat on a crate holding a musical instrument Nadia had never seen before, waving one arm wildly to get their attention. "Where’s your sense of hospitality? Ask the lady for a dance!"

“Jonas, I could not agree more.” With a graceful flourishing bow, Vasco offered Nadia his hand and a playful smile. “Would you do me the honor of a dance, Your Excellency?”

“Call me Nadia.” She curtseyed and slipped her hand into his. “And I would love to.”

He led her down the stairs toward the rest of the dancers, and none of them even pretended not to be watching them approach. He spun her twice before pulling her flush against him, his movements showy enough to entertain their audience, but obviously competent. Someone wolf-whistled at them; Nadia was fairly sure it was Constantin, but didn’t look to find out.

The band struck up something vaguely resembling a waltz, fast enough to alleviate most of the awkwardness that came with dancing with an unfamiliar partner but not so fast that it wanted to turn into a jig.

Vasco was an excellent partner. His lead was confident and clear, but never pushy or demanding; he simply moved, and trusted her to follow. If this was the same way he led his ship, it was no wonder his crew was so loyal to him.

As the next song slowed down enough to give them a chance to breathe, she told him so. “Captain, you are quite the skilled dancer.”

“You can call me Vasco.” They briefly separated in order to let another couple twirl past them, moving much faster than the speed of the music dictated. He took her hand again as soon as he was able, his other falling to her waist to bring her close. “So are you. A good dancer, I mean. But I suppose you have to be.”

“True. It’s part of my job.” Nadia hesitated to continue, but decided that a little honesty couldn’t hurt. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had this much fun with it.”

“Well, the night’s still young.” The song ended, and Vasco lowered her into a deep dip. It surprised a loud, delighted laugh from her, and something softened at the edges of his smile. “Let’s see if we can do better than that.”

#greedfall #nadia de sardet #nadia/vasco #HELP I LOVE THEM #I started this intending it to be a friendship piece and then they started flirting #their vibe is so *different* than nadia/kurt and I enjoy that immensely #nadia is like ‘sailors never take me seriously or show any real interest in me and to prove it I shall flirt with you’ #and vasco is like ‘nobles are all greedy and only interested in exploiting us and to prove it I shall flirt with you’ #JOKE’S ON THEM they’re in love now

[diceyfall]

Greedfall!

well that is the most logical one to go first lmao!

The first character I first fell in love with: vasco for sure

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: constantin, tbh. at his introduction i was kind of wary he was going to turn out to be a really bratty, annoying character who was either going to be incredibly arrogant or completely incompetent, but he turned out to be, uhh, the most well-written character in the game lol

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: i wouldn’t say everyone loves him, i’ve seen quite a few people who dislike him like i do, but yeah petrus. the mother cardinal might be a close second bc i’ve seen a few instances of people doing some dumbass “yass kween” shit or trying to defend her as not being trash, ugh. but like i said, just a few instances of that. like maybe two or three times during my entire stay in the fandom lmao

The character I love that everyone else hates: no one really comes to mind!

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: again no one comes to mind

The character I would totally smooch: vasco? siora? kurt? aphra? constantin? cabral? flavia? eseld? vinbarr? derdre??? ….okay yeah thats it thats the end of my Horny list™

The character I’d want to be like: kurt. woodworking and being buff while carrying a bigass sword around? sign me TF up

The character I’d slap: prince d’orsay for sure. do i need to recount why? if this dude hadnt done as much fucked up shit as he did we wouldnt even have a game lmao

A pairing that I love: oh god you’re asking me to PICK??? i guess… if i have to i’ll just go with the first one i started shipping, vasco/DS

A pairing that I despise: anything involving petrus. i once saw a petrus/DS fic and i fucking gagged

#anonymous #ask #dice's takes #no shade to anyone who likes petrus i just... #personally can't stand him

04.11.2022 | I just got this vibe from them, you know? Like Flavia, Jonas and Lauro have their own little mishaps and adventures while Vasco is away being a Main Character.

“You see this?” Vasco yells and slaps a small circular disk mounted to a pedestal beside the wheel, the red arrow of the compass just visible in the rain. “Hold this position and do not deviate from north, no matter what you see, no matter what you hear. Do not let this wheel move, do you understand?”

Percy gapes. He has never touched a ship’s wheel in his life, Vasco cannot possibly expect this of him. “This is madness!”

Chapters: 2/5

Vasco makes a satisfied hum after finishing his drink and fixes Percy with a wry grin, tongue darting out to catch a drip of water from the corner of his mouth. “Flattery will get you everywhere,” he drawls. “But if you’re trying to get me to go easy on you, I’m afraid you’ll have to bring a better libation, Excellency.”     

“I’ll make sure to bring the good rum next time, then,” Percy smiles. He steals a glance back to Vasco’s face and finds him gazing out over the ocean again, lips pursed. On the surface, he appears relaxed and calm but years of playing the game at court has given Percy a keen eye for people wearing masks. 

Something is bothering Vasco and he is trying to hide it.

CHINHANDS I'M GREEDFALL WORLDBUILDING FOR MY FIC HELP 

Do you think the Nauts have last names that they're just really secretive about or would it be reasonable to assume that their "family" name is whatever ship they are currently stationed on? Flavia Of The Sea-Horse, Lauro Of The Sea-Horse, etc?

And if so, there must be designations for those who are retired (So-And-So Of The Island?) or in political positions like the admiral (Cabral Of The High Command?) So how do we identify Nauts like Vasco who have essentially been stripped of their title and left on their own?

Vasco talks about identity not being that important to the Nauts (MMMM DEBATABLE) but there is also this massive focus on their guild essentially being a huge family. And Vasco as an individual seems to really want that feeling of belonging to a family as seen by his personal quest.

So who does he become when he is no longer "Vasco Of The Sea-Horse"? Is he just Vasco or does he become something else? Is this a common enough scenario to have a common designation or is it a mark of something shameful? A mark of failure? 

Vasco Of The Unmoored?

Maybe the reason he latched onto the idea of finding his old name so hard was because for the first time in his life, he was without a family identity. Even though he didn't know his birth family, he WANTED to. He WANTED a warm reunion with his brother despite being strangers.

Why, though? Vasco has a generally poor opinion of the nobility and really has every reason to hate his birth family. Was being separated from his ship-family so awful and destabilizing that he just immediately grasped for the only other people he has a connection to, flimsy as it may be?

IDK I JUST THINK FAMILY IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE NAUTS and maybe Vasco was struggling with that a lot when the admiral handed him off to De Sardet spiders pls give me dlc with naut lore it's all I want

#or maybe he doesn't have a last name because that's just more sexy and mysterious who knows #greedfall #vasco #the nauts
