Hello, POLYsyllabicists~!
Ah...memories. Yes, dear friends, memories. You see, this Saturday, the 12th, sees the return of the Arabian Nights curse. A beautiful and lulzy curse. And if you were here a bit over a year ago, you might have seen it come around the first time and all that transpired therein.
That is to say, there was a harem. A rather epic harem. To wit:
As some of you might know, one Lord Cain Hargreaves has a canon reputation for being a playboy and an impossible flirt.
Well...
1 + 1 = 2 + some concubines
In other words:
What would be more fun than to revisit Cain's harem again?
Yes, the last time this curse came around, Cain had a harem and we were all guilty of a little Orientalism, and everyone had fun.
Shall we do it again? Yes. Mod-approval says GO!
So! We are in need of volunteers.
If you would like your character(s?) to be among the various wives, dancers, concubines, odalisques, entertainers, servants, &c., please leave a comment ♥
But! We will be in need of a "First Wife" to keep an eye on things (Professor Cat care to reprise his role?)
And! If you're feeling really odd, I'd even take a eunuch or two. Give or take, more or...less.
Any other roles you'd like to see one of yours in at this temporary royal court? Please, drop a line~!
I'll be making a post on Saturday which you are welcome to join in on--it'll be a comment-log arrangement, I think. Otherwise, Cain will set about poking any posts members of "his" harem make throughout the day. He'll make up ridiculous pet-names for your characters~

→N.B.: I am playing this for THE LULZ, not THE SEX. Cain is described as a canon playboy, but he's really more of a flirt and a player. He's probably slept with some of the women he encounters in canon, but, no way, not all of them. He flirts. So, if you're not sure about this, let me assure you that Cain will only be flirting, calling the harem members by silly floral pet-names, asking for stories, wanting to be waited on, and generally being a spoiled royal brat. He wants to be fed grapes from the beautiful fingers of many women! He will have a curse-induced past--he will think he really is the sultan, and his canon background will be adjusted for the duration of the curse (that is, his father was king, &c.--you'll see). So don't expect him to recognize your character or go "wtf i'm king?!" at all.
Also! Although I'm referring to Cain as "Sultan Cain", he is by no means the sultan. Curses do odd things in the City. There can be more than one king.
And, last but not least, if you need more convincing, I will bribe you with
really bad art of Sultan Cain XD "Y halo thar, harem."
Posting early because I'll be busy on Friday evening.
Player tested, Mod approved!
So...
Hello, harem ♥
