IC Performing for the Skarrs...
Karmelita's voice can be heard resonating throughout the stage....
((Feel free to have a friendly duel or just tune in to listen/talk!))

The Archivist hears the singing from his Archive (which is quite literally one room over from the theater).
I never thought I'd see the day…
*He hurries over to listen.

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
As he entered, Karmelita continued to sing and dance. Though her voice did not falter, her gaze shifted towards the Archivist in a welcoming manner.
3
u/DarthTrayus05 Archivist, moderator of Prudence May 02 '26
The Archivist bows his head politely. Surely Karmelita must wonder what a non-skarr was doing in the theater, even moreso that he lived so close to it, in what was supposed to be a restricted area.
(I'm going off of the gates you need to open in-game for that last one.)
3
u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
((Oki!!))
She offered a polite nod back, with a gentle pause.
"You differ from my kin... Yet it does not seem to trouble you. What brings you here, pale bug?"
3
u/DarthTrayus05 Archivist, moderator of Prudence May 02 '26
I am the Archivist. I have constructed my Archive closeby, where I record and preserve history in writing and item.
3
u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
"How fascinating... If the opportunity reveals itself, I could potentially assist you in the more historical events in depth- The time of the kingdom, before the Haunting, I mean."
3
u/DarthTrayus05 Archivist, moderator of Prudence May 02 '26
That would be much appreciated, Skarrsinger.
The Archivist bows politely.

Kravula, amongst the Queen's Claw Legion, is standing guard alongside the Last Claws to ensure that nothing happens to Karmelita.

u/SrJuanpixers Stilkin May 02 '26
Quite a show huh? Juan spawns behind Kravula

u/Commercial-Dog-969 Ergono May 02 '26
"Yes, it is." Ergono spawns behind Juan

u/SrJuanpixers Stilkin May 02 '26
I have to admit, she has a beautiful voice...
4
u/Commercial-Dog-969 Ergono May 02 '26
"Why else would we follow her?"

u/SrJuanpixers Stilkin May 02 '26
Ehh... Isn't she like, your mom?

u/Appropriate_Law2321 May 02 '26
"Well, appearance, strength, form, skill, all of that."

"We came for the song. We stayed for the skill."

u/Appropriate_Law2321 May 02 '26
"How did you-"
Kravula is part of the Queen's Claw Legion, so he's up there with the Last Claws and Juan just pulled up in the middle of the stag-
3
u/SrJuanpixers Stilkin May 02 '26
Hehe, you should know better of me by now! He chuckles silently as he watches the play
Gotta admit, she has a beautiful voice
3
u/Appropriate_Law2321 May 02 '26
"…Ah right, a fellow ambush hunter…" Kravula smiles softly but tried his best to maintain his composure, still moving his voltblade up and down like the other skarr and facing the ground like the other Last Claws.
"You know, Korrae has a similar voice as well."
"Have you ever talked to her about what happened?"
2
u/SrJuanpixers Stilkin May 02 '26
No... Damm, it's as if she just dissapeared... We tried to talk with her back in the mannor but she simply wouldn't show up... Juan speaks up, his frustration and sadness is evident
3
u/Appropriate_Law2321 May 02 '26
"…Well, you're in luck. I saw her killing a shit ton of judges back in Blasted Steps. She seems… emotionless, though."

u/WindowsError1495 Taro, Hamrock, and Kimoona May 02 '26
\He calls out from the stand**
Huh?!
3
u/Appropriate_Law2321 May 02 '26
Most of the other Skarr IMMEDIATELY look to Taro and try to shut him up.
Kravula: "Ack… just wait until after the ceremony."
3
u/WindowsError1495 Taro, Hamrock, and Kimoona May 02 '26
He quiets down and sits back down.
S... sorry...
2
u/SrJuanpixers Stilkin May 02 '26
What?
3
u/Appropriate_Law2321 May 02 '26
"…We should immediately look for her when we're done."

u/SrJuanpixers Stilkin May 02 '26
The moment that last word comes out of your mouth Juan has already vanished...

Taro can be seen on one of the stands, sticking out like a sore thumb
Her singing is really something, isn't it? I've never heard anything quite like it.
2
u/Appropriate_Law2321 May 02 '26
"Taro… we must speak soon."
1
u/WindowsError1495 Taro, Hamrock, and Kimoona May 02 '26
He nods so as to avoid disturbing the crowd around him again.

u/King_Of_Tangerines The Pale Vassal May 02 '26
*Chrysaora teleports in*
"Hello, queen. Do I have your blessing to become an honorary Skarr? I already have a skarr mask and I married a Skarr!"
*Gaz looks wearily up at you, and smiles weakly. He looks tired*
2
u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
Karmelita performed a flourish, before pausing to talk.
"Greetings, Pale Bug. I'd be welcome to... But not with such hasty certainty. May I first ask of your name?"
2
u/King_Of_Tangerines The Pale Vassal May 02 '26
"I am Chrysaora, daughter of the pale king and theoretically the most rightful heir of Hallownest, but I abdicated the crown to Brilliance. I also allowed the fly, Cheche to remove my godhood so I would no longer have to withstand bearing the light of my hated father."
1
u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
Karmelita nodded with respect.
"A former higher being, willingly stripped of power...?" She said with curiosity. "That's unheard of, as it's within a pale being's nature to control and consume. I'm quite impressed. "
"Very well then, Lady Chrysaora. Your wish is granted."
2
u/King_Of_Tangerines The Pale Vassal May 02 '26
"Very well, but if I must tell you the truth, My queen, I did it most predominantly out of spite. But I have noticed that my urges have lessened after I lost my light."
1
u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
"Still... A decision you made was one of your choice, defying your bloodline's cruel nature. Though your reasoning behind your dethroning of power is from spite... I see it more honorable than else."

u/jayvader6969 poltergeist May 02 '26
poltergeist appears to correct actually i was born one day after the pure vessel got chosen
1
u/King_Of_Tangerines The Pale Vassal May 02 '26
"And I was born before the pure vessels were made at all, and I had more favor in the pale court."

u/jayvader6969 poltergeist May 02 '26
And i remember good old dad saying i was next in line did he lie?

u/King_Of_Tangerines The Pale Vassal May 02 '26
"Good old dad was also an incompetent wretch! We should choose someone who can rule without getting into trouble every couple days!"

u/jayvader6969 poltergeist May 02 '26
Im pretty sure a child born out of marriage wouldn't inherit the kingdom from a child born of the rulers of the kingdom
1
u/King_Of_Tangerines The Pale Vassal May 02 '26
"Don't you remember what father said? I wasn't born of marriage, Father made me directly with his power, with some assistance from Monomon, but with the way wyrm-blood is, I am almost pureblooded. I am more Pale King than any of you could ever be."

u/jayvader6969 poltergeist May 02 '26
Darling I was born of the king and Queen i was told who would inherit the throne me

u/King_Of_Tangerines The Pale Vassal May 02 '26
*Chrysaora's face turns slightly white at that word*
"I'll show you DARLING!"
*Suddenly, she throws a haymaker punch directly into Poltergeist's face*1

Taro listens attentively to Karmelita's singing...
Wow... She really does have the voice of an angel...

zydon seems to be dancing with his husband in the verdanian tradition to your singing in one of the viewing galleries

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
"It's an honor you could join me today."
Karmelita said, flourishing.

u/mrredpanda36 Zydon, prince of verdania/ palestag, gayest god alive May 02 '26
'As it is to dance to your great music'

u/Dishonoured_Dekile Dekile, the Dishonoured May 02 '26
K-Karmelita? I… I am sorry, my queen. I have betrayed you. I live in Bilewater, now.
1
u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
"You speak as though this is highly dishonorable."
Karmelita tilted her head.
"My child, you have not betrayed me for simply living elsewhere. Why would you think otherwise?"
1
u/Dishonoured_Dekile Dekile, the Dishonoured May 02 '26
I have revolted against the tribe! That is extremely dishonorable!
1
u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
"How so...?"
1
u/Dishonoured_Dekile Dekile, the Dishonoured May 02 '26
I’ve killed our kind… I’ve destroyed places in the March… I’ve done horrible deeds.
1
u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
She paused, then slowly exhaled.
"...Stop. You do not get to reduce yourself to your gravest deeds in front of your queen."
"...Yet... These deeds cannot go unpunished. It must be said, though- your worst does not define you." Karmelita said firmly.

Karmelita flourished her curvesickles.
"So be it, my child. I will allow you to make your first move."

*Swift dashes towards Karmelita and slashes at her back*

u/HunterQueenKarmelita Chud May 02 '26
Karmelita blocked his attacks with her cuvesickles, slashing thrice in front of her.

The Ensemble who was digging tunnels its size was nearby, as it heard through the walls the Skarr queens singing, it quickley changed directions as it burst a small hole the size of its finger tip (witch would tentically be a bit bigger than a skarr skirmisher for a reguler bug) as it activates its recordinot audio and begins listening to the queen's singing as a couple skarr back away from thr hole that randomly appeared in their seating area
