    Daku bowed, retreating back to the shadows of the dungeon.

    "She is, as she put it 'Out of work,' at the moment. In other words, Your Majesty, she is going on strike."

    Nico tipped his hat. "O' course, miss." ---------- Riva barely made it into her storage room before falling to her knees on the hard floor. She panted, her forehead coated in the sweat of pain. (In addition to the damage to her hip, she’d broken her toe upon kicking the cell of a man who was glaring at her; admittedly a stupid move.) Her first order of business was to rip off the better part of her clothing, revealing the full extent of her wound. Minor discoloration had already set in - certainly worsened by the walk she’d forced herself through - and some gentle prodding revealed that the hip was indeed fractured as she had predicted. For a normal person, the fall she’d taken would not have caused nearly as much damage. Riva, however, was rather special in this regard; her bones were fragile, her muscles weak. Certainly her age played a great factor, but even as a small girl, she’d been this way. It was not a particularly desirable trait to possess, particularly for someone at whom so much vengeance-bent anger was directed, but her potions had always made up the difference. After crawling to a locked cabinet and fishing out her keys to open it, Riva selected two vials. The contents of the first was rubbed on her injury and the second she chugged, suffering its foul taste. The second potion was rather hard to keep down, but she’d taken it enough times to learn to. Its effects were well worth its sickening flavor anyway. “DAKU!” she yelled. After a few seconds, she called for him again. The aging janitor entered momentarily, unfazed by her lack of covering. “What is it, Lady Raven?” “Tell the king I will be out of work for the next little while.” “Oh? Going on strike again, miss?” Riva chuckled. “Not exactly, but yes, call it that. The king will eat that up.” She had to shake herself to keep conscious; these healing potions worked quickly. “Make sure Darrin is starved; his muscular form will make it harder than it needs to be to torture him. Clean up the vials on the floor, ask for some guards around my room while I’m out. And make sure I’m up... before the wedding…” “The wedding miss? You mean for the king?” “Oh, no. I mean my own, in two day’s time.” The last thing Riva saw was Daku’s face staring down at her in confusion. “Oh, yes… and… carry me… to bed. If you will……” With that, the Raveness fell unconscious, her body working overtime to heal. --------- Daku had been terrified when he'd taken the job of cleaning the dungeons for the Raveness decades ago, but now she hardly fazed him. She was a powerful creature, certainly, but a beautiful one too; her deep mystery seemed to be chipped away bit by bit every day and he'd found that as she unfolded, he fell more and more in love with what she'd made for herself. Even if she was a little too disturbingly masterful at her occupation... He'd seen firsthand what she could do. Eventually, he found his way to the king and bowed. "A message from the Lady Raven, Your Majesty." @Channelknight Fadran

    Nicolae shrugged. "I'd take the opportunity to explore yer new home, if I was you. That's my advice."

    "Ah... I dunno off the top of me head, miss, but I can find out for ya."

    You know when you spend a half an hour (or more) on a post? And then the Shard just eats it? 

    *long sigh* 

    Welp, time to draft RP stuff on a google doc...

      Word of advice if you wanna keep good rp posts or anything like that: Just have a Google Doc always open when doing so. I have one (that I may or may not be sharing) that has drafts, unfinished works, and the finished pieces.

      Always good to write whatever ideas come to mind before actually posting, but then again, I'm just a human that is not particularly the best at writing, so take what I said with a grain of salt.

      Oh, I already have a google doc of plans for this RP...

      Oh, nice! Ye, keep that. Follow it as much as you can, or don't. Idk which rp you're talking about, let alone if I'm in it. But always have a plan, so you're doing more than what I am with the rps I made.

    Nico sighed. "You apologize too much, miss... There... anythin' else you want from me? King Ivian gave me the day off."

    The moment he was gone, Riva grimaced, cursing that monster of a man. It was good he was frightened of her, at least, but apparently he tended to attack when frightened. That wasn't good... it wasn't good at all... But, knowing she'd find a way to deal with that later, she put it aside in her mind; she had to heal this hip. Bone had definitely cracked. That was of little matter, however. She could hardly be the Raveness without having survived a good handful of partially-successful assassination attempts and as such, she had plenty of healing concoctions down in her room. Now the trouble would be getting there... She hobbled to her feet, dreading the coming journey. Nico sighed, rubbing his face with his long fingers. "What can I say? I does what I'm told," he said bitterly. Can't say no for the life o' me... Despite himself, the thought made tears rise up. They were quickly pushed down.

    Riva landed right on her hip. Pain shot through her, but she managed to channel it into a ferocious screech. "I'll see you at the altar," she growled and spat upon the ground.
  10. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Riva cried out terribly. "Caden Praetorium, I demand you put me down this instant!" She growled right back at him, scraping her sharp nails against his exposed bicep.
  11. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Oh, but it's so comfortable here." Riva yawned, stretching her arms overhead. "I think I'll stay," she said with a smirk.
  12. Zephrun’s Imperium
    To Riva's credit, she did not jump, though she did tense up a bit. She applauded sarcastically. "Oh, my, what a tantrum. I'm so frightened, dear general, you're positively terrifying when you throw a fit."
  13. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Riva sat back and chuckled. "And Ivian thinks you can handle being married to me..." She shook her head. "You're a coward."
  14. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Oh, I'm-I'm fine." He got up and dusted himself off, then turned back to the kids. "Ah, Katie, Ara, I'm gonna... go for a second..." Nico looked knowingly at Eleanor and gestured with his head to the side, walking over and expecting her to follow. When they were out of earshot, he sighed. "Now why's you apologizin'?"
  15. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "'Pologize, miss? Ah..." He got up - intent on speaking with her alone, without the kids - and tripped, falling with the stool to the ground. After a groan, he mumbled, "Oh, bother..."
  16. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Nicolae nearly jumped out of his seat. In his shock he spilled his soup on himself. "Oh, Stars," he cursed, blushing red as roses. "Ah... Lady Eleanor... Ah... ah... I..."
  17. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Well, but, I... Yes. Your Majesty." She curtsied.
  18. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "No, miss, I don't," Allivia said. "You'll have to find him on your own. ... Why do you want to find him anyway? He's... he's..." Mine.
  19. Zephrun’s Imperium
    She shook herself. "What?" Allivia was not particularly good at keeping the edge out of her voice.
  20. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Allivia seemed to be staring into space, plotting.
  21. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Allivia stood wordless, mouth working.
  22. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Allivia was shocked. She paled, but hid her outrage behind a smile. "Oh. Well... I wouldn't question the king, but... Why? Exactly?"
  23. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "She's been having problems with Sir Kimby, your Majesty," interupted Allivia. "He said he was Eleanor's attendant, but that's just crazy, right?"
  24. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Allivia curtsied. "Lady Eleanor, to see the king."
  25. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Well, I've been here quite a long time, miss. But..." She laughed nervously. "With all due respect, Your Highness, everyone here knows 'bout Nicolae Kimby and his... issues. Almost as iconic as the Lady Raven. Oh, look, we're here!" Allivia knocked on the door for Eleanor. @Channelknight Fadran
