puts on groucho glasses
HI GUYS. I've got something of a heads up/plotting post for you today! You see, Hans here got assigned by Morla to infiltrate the Seelie court in disguise, attempt to wheedle information out of various Seelie subjects, and pass said information on to Ganondorf. Morla granted Hans a magical ring that disguises not only his appearance (so those he has met will not recognize him) but also his true court allegiance. Basically, Hans will appear as a humble knight native to the Drabwurld, come to Caer Glaem to pledge his service to the Seelie. Great news, right?
Morla assigned Hans to stay at Caer Glaem for a season, so this will be a slow-burning plot with Hans focusing on building a rapport first with various Seelie, especially those with bounties, before stealing any information. So! A couple of things:
Though I won't be using an alt account or alt icons, Hanseelie will not be recognizable as himself. He'll look more like your run-of-the-mill stock knight character (but still a ginger, because gingers represent). Also, he will be going under a pseudonym, obviously, one he picked up while traveling to Caer Glaem, and you can bet he'll have invented some tragically heroic backstory for his alter-ego.
If your character gets CR with Hanseelie, that certainly doesn't mean later they'll have to forfeit information! I'm all for building the CR up and Hans not getting anything out it.
If you do want to use this plot as an opportunity to get your character or the Seelie in hot water, I'm happy to work with that, too! And at any time, as well. My goal is to make this plot as fun and smooth for everyone as possible, so Hans can either end up cutting a serious blow to the Seelie court, or learning nothing at all! It all depends on how ye Seelie players want it to go.
Down the line this plot will expand and there also will likely be opportunities for Hans to be found out. Because really, what's the fun in just letting him get away with it?
Hans will be keeping up appearances as himself on the lockets so those aware of his true character won't get suspicious about where he's gone. If anyone asks him, he'll say he's at Mair.
UM YES I think that's all I have for now! Hanseelie will be arriving at Caer Glaem on the 10th or 11th and I'm planning to put up a log for that. Shoot any questions, comments, ideas, etc. to me here or on Plurk (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

I think however they will just miss each other as Lance is going to be out of Caer Glaem for a bit but when I establish when he'll be back they can talk!
... Lance is both incredibly trusting and earnest but also meant to be reasonably good at seeing through lies having dealt with Merlin who is the Biggest Liar In All Of Camelot so it could go either way tbh.

PROBABLY Hans we need to be the most careful around him though, because High King Ridire told Lance he thought there might be a spy in Caer Glaem.
Before Hans even arrived so it isn't even related to him BUT STILL Lance will have it at the back of his mind vaguely

NOTHING OF NOTE
JUST AN HONEST AND PERFECTLY NICE KNIGHT
he'll probably need a good backstory because Lance is friendly enough to ask a load of questions can you imagine
Hans trying to hold his story together while Lancelot is actually just trying to be nice at that point

BUT YES I have been putting together a sort of back story for him based on things he's picked up about the Drabwurld while travelling. HE'S HOPING IT'S AT LEAST SEMI-BELIEVABLE. And at the very least, super sad, for sympathy points. He is really banking on the sympathy points.
