Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 13, 2021 Author Posted February 13, 2021 Quote Caden doesn't want people to be moving in and out of places at all. I don't think they'd just let the guard in.

Vapor she/her Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 9 minutes ago, Shard of Thought said: "Well." Riva smiled. "Nice to meet you, dear. I'll be asking you more questions later. This guard is going to find you a room." "The dungeon, miss?" Arvis asked. Riva stood up straight. "No, of course not. She's a child. Find her a room in the servants' quarters. Just lock the door." "Oh." Arvis blushed, then saluted. "As you command, Lady Raven." As the guards moved to leave the room, Riva leaned towards Caden. "You'd better not be letting them out and not me," she said. @The Ward's Guard Arabella let the guards pull her along, looking around at her surroundings.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 13, 2021 Author Posted February 13, 2021 Quote Fiiiiiine. Nicolae cocked his head in confusion. "I don't have no sister, sir." He chuckled. "They're a-comin' up with good excuses to see me now, ain't they? Let her in, that's fine with me. I'll be free soon as this ball's done. Say, why we all locked down, do ya know?" ----- Arvis and the others walked down the hallway. "Now that was unexpected," one of the other guards mumbled. "I would'na thought the Raveness had a bit o' heart in her at all." The third guard scoffed. "You didn't fall for that, did you? That witch has got no mercy. Probably just buttering the girl up to her, is all. She'll chop her up and use her for potions, she will!" Arvis rolled his eyes. "It's not good to speak ill of our superior," he said. He looked down sympathetically at Arabella. The Raveness wouldn't really hurt her, would she? He'd rather believe she wouldn't. "Oh, c'mon now, Arvis, you know 'bout the Raven well as I do. She's not even a woman, no she ain't, she's a demon!"
Fallapede Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 10 minutes ago, Shard of Thought said: Darrin's smile widened into a grin. Someone he returned his quips? He loved that! "Oh, I never come quietly, good sir," he said. "I must admit though, castle walls aren't a great place to duel. I'd be happy to do so on the ground." Darrin, too, jumped to a different window ledge. It was a long drop, but he made it just fine. Quote Jasper isn't quipping here, he genuinely just wants to avoid a mess.

Right away, sir." The guard ran off. A couple minutes later, he was at the gate. Wendy looked up. "So...?" "Says you're not his sister, but you can come on in."

She's not even a woman, no she ain't, she's a demon!" Arabella got more nervous at every word they said. When I get out of this, she thought. Biana's going to be sorry.

Biana's going to be sorry. One of the guards - a shorter one, the youngest of the three - poked Arabella's shoulder. "You're a quiet one, ain't 'cha? What do you think 'bout the Raveness?" Arvis rolled his eyes. "Come now, Rian, don't scare her even more." "I ain't, I ain't, I ain't, I just wanna know what the girl thinks! She's the one it concerns, ain't she?" 4 minutes ago, Condensation said: "Who are coming up with good excuses to see you?" Nicolae paused, blushing. "Oh, no one, nothin'." He ran a hand through his hair. "The girls at court, see, they're all over me, I tells ya. But, ah... if I didn't know better, lady, I'd say you sound jealous."

Arvis intervened. "You shut up, both of you." They obeyed and continued walking in silence. 3 minutes ago, Condensation said: "Not jealous, just curious. I am engaged to the king, after all. Shouldn't I know what goes on here?" "Yeah, true enough, I'm supposin'." Nicolae trailed off and looked around awkwardly. For some reason, he felt embarrassed about the queen knowing he was an incurable flirt. "I hope you don't think, miss, that I'm just a-bein' nice to ya because I've got a thing for the ladies," he said quickly. "You're my queen, miss, I do my duty, yes I do."

Channelknight Fadran Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 The guard led Wendy through the hallways, though she had no intention of actually meeting up with Nicolae. As they walked through an empty hall, Wendy spoke. "I'm really sorry about this." She said. "Hm?" Wendy grabbed the guard's head and smashed it against the wall, knocking him out cold.

I never doubted it." Aliénor smiled.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 14, 2021 Author Posted February 14, 2021 Just now, Vapor said: Arabella looked down again, biting her lip. The three guards walked down a spiral staircase and eventually came to a little room. "This'll do, I suppose," said Arvis. He gently pushed Arabella into the room and, giving her a grim smile, shut the door behind her, locking it. Just now, Condensation said: "Of course, Sir Kimby. I never doubted it." Aliénor smiled. Nicolae bowed, smiling with flushed cheeks. "Why thank ya, miss."

"Why thank ya, miss." Arabella sat down on the floor and closed her eyes, a tear leaking out. Quote What does the room look like?
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 14, 2021 Author Posted February 14, 2021 Just now, Vapor said: What does the room look like? Quote Small, maybe six paces deep, three paces across. There's a bed and a small table.

Quote I hope you don't mind - I'm trying to only quote you when there's been one or more posts between your post and my reply. "So do you know who this girl is?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Wendy stole down a hallway, making sure to put plenty of distance between her and the unconscious guard. Completely by accident, she found herself by the dungeon entrance. With a deep breath, she started down the staircase.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 14, 2021 Author Posted February 14, 2021 Quote Yeah, I get that, Connie. "No clue!" Nicolae chuckled. "It don't really matter to me, haha."
Channelknight Fadran Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Quote What would Wendy find in the dungeon? Are people being tortured, or are the torturers taking a break for the party today?
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 14, 2021 Author Posted February 14, 2021 Quote There aren't many torturers at all. But I'd assume they'd be asleep or somethin'. Wendy will find a whole lot of smelly prisoners though. And probably a, ah... messy torture room.
Condensation she/her Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 1 minute ago, Shard of Thought said: "No clue!" Nicolae chuckled. "It don't really matter to me, haha." "Ah. Then perhaps I should leave you alone to wait for her?"
