It's not as if I can escape from this tiny little room. I just don't like being tied up, I'm sure you can understand that." The general growled at his guards, "seize him!" The two guardsmen in the room stepped forward to grab Darrin. Caden ran a finger along the edge of his blade, "I need you to talk, so I can't kill you. However, you don't need your fingers to speak." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Darrin made a show of pretending he was deep in thought. "No, I suppose I don't. But... oh dear. I could scream any name under torture and you would have no idea if I was telling you the truth. Was it, perhaps, the Raveness herself, bored with the current king and longing for new management? Or it might have been Robin, the King's Lady who defected. A servant who decided they were sick and tired with being mistreated. Or..." Darrin grinned darkly. "The king himself. Wondering just how well his lackeys would respond when he was shot." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Bystander Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Quote Okay. It's boring in the ballroom, so I'm going to make my character leave. Seraphina was at her table, deep in thought. What is going to happen to that kid? I... I should go save her. I can't even begin to imagine how terrified she feels. Plus, she has that note for Robin! If they decipher it, me and my family will be handed over to the Raveness. Then again, I will get handed over to her if I get caught. She sat up straight. I won't let myself get caught. I have to get out of here, and then I can change. Quote So, I could have a few things happen here. 1) I could get out, change clothing, find Arabella, and help her escape. 2) I could get out, change clothing, find Darrin while looking for Arabella, kick Caden's butt, free Darrin, and then find Arabella and help her escape. 3) I could get out, change clothing, and get caught. Suggestions? Other options that I missed that could be fun? If not, I'm going with option 2. Seraphina used the secret passageways to sneak back to her room. She then took off her dress, and put on a black shirt, and black trousers. She grabbed a black, hooded cloak, and put that on as well. She sighed. How am I going to find one girl in this huge castle? I don't know where the dungeons are yet! I'll have to search every area. With that thought, she snuck out of her room and started checking rooms and hallways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Quote Well, you can't free Darrin, not only would that be ridiculously had, but it's important for both his and Riva's arcs that the two of them meet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Quote I... I don't think you can escape. Getting out of the ballroom was a stretch. I know the lockdown is annoying, but you should respect it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will sneak around until lockdown is over, and then start doing stuff. Seraphina stealthily searched. She was having no luck finding the kid. So far, all she had found had been rooms, hallways, and guards. Lots and lots of guards. She was good at sneaking, so they didn't notice her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallapede Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Jasper whistled tunelessly to himself for several minutes before calling out to one of the guards outside his door. "You know, the ropes binding my wrists are quite loose. I might be able to attempt an escape. If I do, I promise I'll tell the commander it wasn't your fault, but it might be better if you just came in and tightened the knots again." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lecky Twig Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Aelyon scrunched her nose in disgust to the forest, it had yielded her nothing. Not a cottage to give her shelter, storms! She would of been glad if a band of mewling thieves had come upon her and taken her in. Frustrated with her fruitless escape, she spun on her heels and headed back out of the forest to get a carriage bound for her mansion. She really wasnt ready to leave the court and return to her husband, but she could hardly rerturn to the castle after 'failing' to heed their lock down. Plus, she wouldnt be safe sleeping under the same roof as The Raveness. She angrily picked a rose from a thorny bush she walked past and stuck it prettily in her hair, she smiled sadly as red blood oozed out of the wounds where the thorns had pierced through her flesh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caden approached Darrin as two of his men grabbed the assassin by his arms and placed them behind him, trying to force him onto his knees. Caden placed the tip of his blade on Darrin's collarbone, pressing it down until he could see blood. "Do not play games with me boy! If you don't tell me, then I have no qualms over sending you to the Ravennes; I'm sure she's be far less tolerable of your little games."

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted February 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Darrin grimaced at the pain. "Yes, please do. If I'm going to be tortured, I'd much rather have the professional do it. This whole impromptu interrogation is not first rate by any means and I don't want to do anything half-rate if you catch my drift." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caden growled deep in his throat before swishing the sword to his side, away from Darrin. The general sneered, "if you so badly want the Ravenness to work on you, then who am I to refuse you?" Caden put his sword away as several men entered the room with steel manacles, he gestured towards Darrin and they moved to place them onto his wrists. "I'll be there assassin," Caden loosely grabbed Darrin's chin, "even if you can't see me. You're screams will be like music to my ears." Caden gave a malicious smile before he backhanded the assassin on the cheek. Edited February 22, 2021 by The Ward's Guard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Yeah, alright, you have a nice night too, sir." Caden only growled more as he stood up straight to tower over Darrin. "Take this one straight to the dungeon! I want him in the most secure holding cell we have, you understand!" The guardsmen nodded, and three of them gathered around Darrin as the two who were still holding his arms pulled him to his feet. The squad master barked orders at the men as they left the room. Caden followed them and was confronted by a messenger as he exited the impromptu holding chamber. "Sir, I have news from the guest-list. It seems that the prisoner that your holding is telling the truth." Caden scowled at the messenger before brushing him away, "I will still hold him here for breaking the lockdown! The king can deal with him after that." The general gestured for two of his men to follow him, "come, now I must deal with the child."

"I'm the one who slipped through your defenses and got close enough to kill the king, I think I deserve a little respect!" He paused. "Then again, I'm also stupid enough to get caught, so- OH, oh, oh! Haha, maybe I wanted to get caught. Dammit, that would have been perfect! Go back, I want to go back so I can tell your beefy superior that-" A hand was clamped over his mouth. "Stars, will you shut up?" Darrin continued to talk, muffled, beneath the hand. "Well, I could, but whether or not I will is doubtful. After all, if it annoys you, then-" The second guard turned. "General Praetorium, permission to knock this man out, please?" @The Ward's Guard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
