Vicomte Henri Roquefeuil-Blanquefort

[maximiliennoelvier]

Just a question for Ashley would Henri want Nate to stay behnied with a few men to protect the camp just encase something happens or both of them go ?

As for Max's small appearance in this to get Percy into it I don't mind either way for how he gets the information because both of them make sense ill go with whatever slayer or you guys think is best.

[HENRI ROQUEFEUIL-BLANQUEFORT]

Hm... that's a good question. Because he would certainly want to leave a detail of men to protect the camp, but at the same time, he probably does want to have Nate with him. Because really it works both ways--he'd want a lieutenant "in the field" with him so to speak in case something happens to him, but at the same time he certainly wants the camp to remain protected...

It would probably, then, come down in part to whether Nate -wants- to go or would prefer to stay back to protect the camp. Because I think he does heed his advice pretty well, and I'm sure they have people lower in the hierarchy whom he trusts (even if not to the same level) to do either job.

"Everybody Owes. Everybody pays." somehow or another Louis will find a way to do business with the sacred heart. Whether it's through selling muskets and ammunition, or supplies or anything at all, Louis will have someone who will have someone who may indeed have someone who can get hold of it. The money filters back up through the ranks to Thenardier and he's happy. Though muscle work in Paris maybe out of the question, Louis is currently avoiding political struggles until the King has been toppled and he can take even more power over the streets.

"I will stand against the tide of Republican dogs and like a rock I will carry through to see the dawn break over my Country." Gustave on the other hand will fight and break and kick and punch and shoot and stab and cause utter mayhem for Henri. The man's a mountain of a human being, strong and powerful and despite being in middle-age he's got a sharper military mind than most and as a member of the police force and as a shoe-in to lead the National Guard during the upcoming revolution, the two will come into contact when Gustave isn't bound up anymore, that could get messy.

[SIR PERCIVAL BLAKENEY]

Okay cool, i'll post up the subplot so far then peeps can update me with more info as we go along xD

That sounds good, Max can inform Percy as to Chauv's little mission, thus causing Percy to go and intervene with his plans (like the royalist he is), with Margo in tow as the damned woman won’t keep stum. Sound about right ? :/

[maximiliennoelvier]

With Max informing Percy how do you want it slayer the first option or the second would it make sense for Max to have his own contacts (friends his age) in the camp ?


Nate too be honest would msot likely not trust anyone to go with Henri other than himself both because of their friendship and he thinks he can keep him safe better than anyone else. Plus he can better deploy his strategies int he field when he can actually see what's going on and assess the situation.

At the camp he can give Henri is worries and tell him to be careful and both come to an agreement on who goes with Henri. Nate would most likely go though him staying at the camp would be an interesting point.

[HENRI ROQUEFEUIL-BLANQUEFORT]

As far as Louis goes, yes, I'm sure they will have contact. I suspect Henri wouldn't particularly -like- him (I mean, he's an idealist and Louis seems to be much more concerned with simply how practically lucrative a given deal might be), but sometimes arms deals just have to be made

And yes... Gustave... well, obviously they'll be meeting, and I don't think Henri is much of a fistfighter so he would hope it doesn't come to that kind of messy! Yes... interaction there is definitely likely, and unfriendly interaction at that.

As far as Nate going or staying: It seems like Nate is more the battlefield commander between the two of them, but again, that does go both ways. It depends on how likely they think an attack on the camp might be--because obviously, he knows he could use him as tactician for their foray... but at the same time, if he thinks an attack on the camp is somewhat likely, he may want to be holding that in reserve. Which I guess again comes down to whether you'd rather the potential plot-wise at the camp or in the raid.

[HELENE DE ROCHAMBEAU]

the second option is fine with me Nate, if thats what you prefer. Maybe you can pop Percy a note or something in letters?

[PAUL CHAUVELIN]

That sounds good, Max can inform Percy as to Chauv's little mission, thus causing Percy to go and intervene with his plans (like the royalist he is)

Hey! I'm the one working for the royals here. You're just looking to be a pain in my ass, as usual.

[HELENE DE ROCHAMBEAU]

Percy: Whatever you say shuffle-on.

But yeh that sounds great

[maximiliennoelvier]

Okay then the second option sounds great do you want me to start this letter thread now or wait a bit ? Max will also be on stand by just encase he is needed for any other bit of the plot.

Was thinking that maybe I mentioned in the fourway/fiveway thread Nate trying to shoo off a bothersome kid

I think Nate will decide to come with but make sure Henri leaves someone capable in charge which he does not doubt of him he won't he would rather they discussed it as Nate does have some suspicions anyway, but then he is almost always suspicious and trying to be ready for the what ifs.

[PAUL CHAUVELIN]

So, this idea is still rattling around in my head trying to bang off the rough edges, but here goes:

If Henri's father is a member of the virulently-royalist Chouannerie, oh, the rp potential. What if daddy dearest is helping Sylvie in her efforts to track down the republican agent responsible for the executions of so many aristos during the last revolution – the republican agent known only as the Falcon. And Henri, visiting his parents, overhears. And, at some future point, discovers that Chauv and the Falcon are one and the same …

[HENRI ROQUEFEUIL-BLANQUEFORT]

His father is dead, unfortunately (because I couldn't think of any other way for him to actively be the vicomte, haha)--but his mother could certainly still be involved with. As could any assorted cousins, etc...

As I do really like this idea. So much possible plotty entertainment...

[COMTESSE ELEONORE ROCHECHOUART]

So I was thinking about what you were saying about trying to bring in some more SH peoples, then you mentioned the possibility of a woman pretending to be a man. Which got Slayer thinking xD Eleonore has always thought she would be better off being a man, she is quite masculine and is better at male things, like riding, hunting etc. Perhaps as her son joins the SH for a short period of time she joins up as a ploy to try to get her son to return home before he sullies their name. So she could be among the troops of Essonne. Does this seem plausible? Once she determines her son can’t be saved she will turn back to how she is more accustomed to living?

Just a thought xD

[HENRI ROQUEFEUIL-BLANQUEFORT]

Ha! That could be interesting for sure! I wonder how she would even react to being chosen to go to Essonne if that were the case... Or if she goes because her son is in the lot chosen to go or something.

But yes, I could certainly see that happening. I'm pretty sure Henri and Nate don't perform strip searches of their recruits, so provided she's well-disguised... there's no reason they would know she isn't a man.

[COMTESSE ELEONORE ROCHECHOUART]

I dont think she would be too happy, most likely just stick to the back of the line and hope she can get her demmed foolish son out of these disgraceful camps as soon as possible. Awesome, at least you'll have one extra character with you in the essonne thread before all hell breaks lose in camp! She likely leave camps around then or not wanting to risk her life further.
