[truth_is_cold]

I'm throwing up this first OOC entry for hopeful future plotting shenanigans! And that's pretty much it. I'll comment to this with things I want to work out/possible CR I'd like to explore.

Also I'll change this theme and pick icons at some point but uh... test running.

I am down for him being Cherry or Dotty or Downy (his estate is in the North Downs)

[what_ho_jeeves]

I like Downy for the "What, was he growing a beard once?" "No, he lives in the North Downs." a nickname that makes sense if you know that it does but is otherwise a bit "huh?" at first glance. That seems Drones-like to me.

And if Bertie has met Dorian, or has a friend who's met Dorian, then by the rules of a preux chevalier, Bertie can be talked into doing pretty much any crazy thing Dorian might think of. Because that is how Bertie does friends.

[dorian_red]

Glorious. /name pun. I imagine Dorian knew him pre-Jeeves, assuming Jeeves is extant? His cold calculation was probably completely invisible to the Drones, but someone bright enough could probably see through the Good Natured Toff act.

He won't be too awful to Bertie. ...if only because he'd never hurt such a poor lamb, he's not HEARTLESS and also the dear thing probably wouldn't know a lockpick from a glasscutter.

[what_ho_jeeves]

Yup, Jeeves is extant! (In fact, I've asked to NPC Jeeves a little when necessary, otherwise Bertie will spend every thread pining. Or if you'd like to NPC Jeeves sometimes, that would be lovely! You do a marvellous Jeeves.) That makes sense that Dorian would be a pre-Jeeves Drone friend.

Bertie's knowledge of the tools of thievery is slim. But he *has* stolen artwork before, stealthy as a proper cat burglar (in Bertie's wildly inaccurate opinion of himself).

[dorian_red]

Bless his dear preux heart. Dorian will likely use him as an Alibi slash fashion accessory (IE: Look at this happy twit I'm standing beside, I must be a happy twit myself, I could never have stolen the pope. ETA : citation)

And I'd be happy to NPC Jeeves now and again <3
