PLAYER PLOT ★ STORM THE CASTLE

[futurologists]

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.

[This is where I'd insert some cheesy TSwift lyric about Kurogane being trouble himself but I'm too ashamed to do that so instead]:]

It never hurts to be prepared.

[Especially given that she's already had one encounter with a wayward guard. Still, she drops her gun, placing it back in its holster for the moment. Easy enough to keep it out, but her ears no longer catch the sound of footsteps off in the distance, and she trusts Kurogane to knock out any potential foes they come across. Less ammunition used up on her part and he seems to enjoy the physical aspect of fighting well enough. It's a win-win situation!

Regarding their situation right now....once she's done, she looks back up at him, expression completely sober again.]

Looking for anything in particular?
