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.

[Then, realizing he said that a bit too loud, with a bit too much feeling,] Our relationship is- different from that. As far as I know! I don't have anyone I'd call a mother, that's all. Master is different. [he hopes the lantern's light hides the tinge of pink on his cheeks.

I can eat, but I don't have to. I don't think I've eaten anything here, except for at the festival... I made a bet with that little twintails idol that I wouldn't eat anything. ... now that I think about it, what did we even bet for? She owes me something...

[ That's kind of a weird answer, and if Kashuu is being anything resembling tsun, then Bolin doesn't really pick up on it, just watching the other man with an openly curious glare. The intricacies of his relationship with his master are kind of lost on the earthbender, but he assumes that it must be lonely to be apart.

He follows the change of conversation with ease. ]

Nico? [ He grins, perking up at the mention of a mutual friend. ] Yeah, she's pretty funny like that. Even though she kind of asked you to starve.

[hardtohandle]

Well, it's not like I can starve. [Kashuu chuckles a little. He'd never admit that part of the reason he took the bet was to cut down on expenses. Instead of food, he could afford plenty of tiny, pretty trinkets.] I tried to tell her what I was, but I don't think she believed me.

Ah, I guess that's what you'd call being refreshingly normal? [A teenaged girl stubbornly assuming that "being a sword" was a metaphor.] Hopefully she's keeping herself out of sight, tonight.
