THE CASTLE ( NOV 7 )
Our resident warrior princess, Kidagakash Nedakh, has formulated a plan to investigate the castle and speak with the royals. (The OOC plotting post can be found here.) Now, it's time to put it into action.
The castle itself is huge. From the outside, you can see a beautiful garden, a pond, and a statue commemorating Odette. You can also see several guards, some more invested in their job than others. A few are stony-faced, menacing men with looks that could kill. A couple just look like they'd appreciate a pretty girl or interesting guy to liven up their boring day.
On the inside, all the halls look different, yet the same — different pieces of art, different wall fixtures, but everything else is identical. There's many portraits of the king and his late wife on the walls, sparkling chandeliers, and servants scurrying around. Odette's pale, smiling face and cascading blonde locks look somewhat familiar, but that might just be because of all the statues of her likeness around the city.
The castle has pretty much every room you'd expect a castle to have. A library, a wine cellar, a dining hall, etc. Within them, characters can expect to find various things of interest — there are many books, fancy stationery, even some valuable coins if you look hard enough. There's also many letters to be found detailing the situation in Chantes; of course, there's also plenty of letters on far less official business. Some of them have quite steamy imagery.
There are plenty of servants milling about inside the castle and out in the gardens. In the dining hall and their chambers are several of Chantes' most important nobles. And then, of course, there's you. |

What she had said before, it stuck with Pearl. Having a few nights to digest the information made her asess the situation, and her own. For the most part. While her intentions were well meaningful...
Some habits are hard to break. But she's slowly improving. She feels like it anyways.
Pearl offers a small smile, filled with confidence, accompanied with a stern nod.]
I won't let you two down. If you need anything at all, you know how to contact me. I hope ypu can at least get some information out of him.

[ She wouldn't have made a call so personal if she'd thought so. Kida's not exactly worried for Pearl--her mind is too full to bursting with the thought of their mission--but she know the potential for failure isn't nonzero.
Still, Pearl will call for backup if it's needed.
She takes Pearl's hands in her own, her gaze intent. ]
If you need anything--tell me now. I may not see you again until the night is over.
[ She doesn't ask for a promise to stay safe. Pearl couldn't hold to such a thing, in any case, and Kida trusts her friend to make the right call if a situation arrived upon them. ]

All I want is for you two to come back in one piece. And maybe have some information to share with the rest of us.
Things will get crazy here. I'll do my best to hold back what I can. I'll see if I can get in contact with you after everyone of ALAISTAR is out of the castle.
[There's no telling how long it will be for Kida and Riza. Things could change at the last minute. They had to be ready for any wrenches that might be thrown into the plan.
But, again, Pearl was confident in their efforts. Pearl gives Kida's hands a small squeeze.]
You'll do great.
