Not everybody.

*grins* Apparently not.

Playing games with people is far more interesting than the games they play themselves. Especially this silly American past-time of knocking a ball about a field.

(Mind you, if this were rugby or footie, it'd be a different matter entirely.)

Rugby is sufficiently bloody. I do like that.

Oh yes. It has everything you need for a sport: headbutts! Knees to the groin! Roars of a blood-maddened crowd! *happy sigh* It's enough to make me downright giddy.

You sound like a person after my own heart. I am so tired of these non-brutal sports nowadays.

Perhaps. Though it's the chaos rather than the brutality that really appeals to me.

Addendum: it's the emotional level of the crowd. Then the chaos, then the brutality.

Robin Fellowes, Lady. I've heard interesting things about you.

Chaos has its appeal, to be sure. Brutality is just a means to an end, truth be told.

*raised eyebrow* Have you now? And what is it that you have heard about me, Robin Fellowes?

Whereas chaos is just plain fun. *smiles brightly*

That you've done well for yourself for someone with your background.

Oh, yes. Anarchy, chaos - pandemonium. *wry smile*

My background? Which background is that, pray tell? The one where I was born a bastard that my Sidhe father was forced to acknowlege or the one where I usurped a throne from my foster mother ...or... *shrugs with a smile*

Live life like you mean it, and never ask permission, is what I always say.

*answers in turn* Spectacle. Theatre. Drama.

I was actually speaking only of the mortal blood. It is a bit rare for humans, or half-humans, to rise among us at all. In either court.

*sweeps a bow* Perhaps a fuller introduction on my part is in order-- Robin Goodfellow is what they used to call me. *grins, all teeth* I don't suppose you're looking for a court jester?

*smiles* You are quite the fellow.

Yes. It is. But I assure you my rising in the Courts was not because of any deference by either Court. I think it was the fact that my mother truly was an advocate for the Fae, and was innocent in what happened to her. But I am sure you must know all of that already.

*touches his shoulder as he bows as a gesture of good will* I thank you for your introduction. And I hadnt really filled a position of Court Jester - but I am always on the lookout for friends.

OOC: How wonderful! Fanny / Faelyn is always looking for others of the Fae to interact with. :)

No pun intended, I am sure.

Oh, I'm sure you got there the same way everyone does-- *says airily* --backstabbing and throat-cutting and judicious poisoning and so forth and so forth.

Friends? Friends? You're the second since I arrived here to make that offer. I make a cunning fool, an excellent lover, a stunningly good chef, and a profitable record producer... but friendship, how quaint. *snifs* I suppose I'll do my best.

Some purely for business purposes. You want to place a bet?

No, actually. I was sort of bemoaning the fact that I was bored. Is it too late to bet on the Giants? *smirks*

Sure, why not. Whatcha got?

*flexi bendy time as mun already knows who won*

How about five grand on the Giants to win. ;)

For you pretty lady, it's a deal.

Things should settle up quickly. And all payouts are tomorrow.

You know, if they threw a few lions and a couple of gladiators, I might b e interested in watching.

Oh, now THAT is definitely something I would call a sport! It's a pity that they don't let us do things like that anymore. *pouts* Even LaCrosse, which used to be wonderful - till they started making the players wear protective gear and stop beating each other to death.

Now that is a shame. It's a wonder why they even bother suiting up.

I know...oh well. We still have blood sport in my homeland. Thank GOD!

Almost makes me jealous. *smirks*
