Tales of Cyprilion - RP thread

Ainfean rolled her eyes.

"Well, at any rate you've had the exact same idea as the King himself. I've been sent to gather all those who fought against the shapeshifters and that evil fairy yesterday."

Inwardly, she was cursing herself.

Of course! That's what he's trying to do! He wants to get the questing party under his control for some reason, and I played right into his hands.

Anyway here's Blackwall

"Excellent then, the king gets one of the heroes he wants on the job, and doesn't even have to pay for him" Admiral said, honestly seeing this as a win-win for everyone.

He watched the knight go back into his own room, and the woman exit hers. Admiral wasn't sure if she was moving towards himself or towards the room the knight went into. Half his instincts still tried to tell him to quickly hit the woman in the face then bolt for it, but that would be uncool.

He might bolt for it if she made any sudden moves, but otherwise he just stood there, calm as always.

Anicca wandered towards the two people down the hall next to Jester's room. She wondered what they were doing, just standing and chattering rather than sharpening their teeth or hunting breakfast. She could soon tell they were a man and a woman, the man impressively relaxed-looking and the woman, well, less so. As she got closer, the scent grew stronger. When she found herself right next to the man, the conclusion was unavoidable.

This man was part-neko.

Her flat black eyes stared at him intently as her tail began to whip back and forth.

Need a tall, brawny fella to come by and inspect your pickle? Perhaps I may be this fella.

Stepping back outside Jester smiled. "Whelp, that was embarrassing, glad you caugth that Anicca. I owe-"

He stopped when he noticed that Ani was standing abnormally close to Loser.

"Is something going on here?"

This question completely passed over Anicca, who was still staring, waiting for the man to make a move.

Admiral stood there, heart rate climbing a bit as the woman stared at him intensely. A slight internal struggle going on as the instincts passed down from his mother tried to override his relaxed attitude. Finally, he acted.

"Hi there" Admiral said with a grin, then looked at Jester. "Oh, I think she probably smells my uh... What's the word... Paternal- no, Maternal heritage" he explained

to the knight.

"Wow," said Jester, "That literally explains nothing."

Anicca was getting irritated. The neko-man wasn't running, just making chatter with someone. Another minute or two and she'd give up.

"Hmm? Oh right, I'm half-Neko. You know, a cat person. I didn't get the tail or the ears so most people can't tell" Admiral explained to Jester. "But she can smell it" he added, nodding his head to the woman.

"So, it's the dogs chasing cats thing, only with people" Admiral said, internally hoping the woman would give it a rest already. Not just because of his instincts, but because her standing so close was kind of weird.

Admiral had also subconsciously gripped his sword hilt with his left hand, and hadn't yet noticed.

Jester blinked a few times. "Well then, err, I guess you two play nicely? Imma go wake up Cody so I don't getcaughtupinthisbye", He said before rushing off.

Anicca sighed, and moved away from the neko-man. It's no fun trying to chase something that doesn't want to evade you. She quickly got bored and tried to run off and catch Jester to question him about breakfast.

Ainfean would have replied to that, but at that moment a young lycan appeared to take an interest in Admiral. For a moment, she stood nearby, wondering just what was going on; then, Admiral managed to answer that question for her, and Jester ran off. Eyes narrowing, she took a few steps after him.

"Oh no you don't!" she called after the retreating knight. "You need to go to the palace. Actually-" she spun around. "All of you would do well to go to the palace. I'm sure half of you were in the King's list of personal requests, so I might as well cut out the middle man and drag everyone over there."

Anyway here's Blackwall

"But I was about to wake up another member of my party! Just let me get him up and I'll be on my way. Besides," Jester smiled, "I have no intention of skipping out on the King. King Naxus wouldn't like that one bit."

Iskar reached the top of the stairs and saw the others just as the magic maid with the pointy broomstick started shouting. "... Someone remind me why I got up this morning." He muttred, heading for Jester. "Here's Tornado. I'll get cody if you want."

"Thanks", he said, taking his blade. "Make sure to get Zed and Ratt up too. I'll be downstairs waiting for you all."

Palace? Anicca thought. She struggled to remember the English word for a bit, then remembered it referred to a place where their elders resided. It would be a perfect oppurtunity to gain some inside knowledge on the workings of this strange people.

"Yes! We go 'palace'. We see elders, no?"

Iskar nodded, setting off to find the missing members rooms. He found cody first. "Wakey wakey" he said loudly, right next to cody's ear, before wandering on to find the wizard and shapeshifted dragon. A couple of doors later he found them, and woke them in a manner that amused him. Namely transforming into a tiger and roaring in their faces. He was laughing as he returned to Jester and Ainfean. "Woke them up" He said happily.

"Don't worry Ainfean, I think we're all planning to go to the palace anyway, so we'll meet you there" Admiral said, after a quick sigh of relief that the woman had left him alone. "Now, I must go speak with the 'hero' about funding this mission" he added, heading for the stairs to follow Jester.

Jester nodded at Anicca, "When you put it that way, yeah, I guess so."

Seeing Admiral Loser walk up to him, Jester spoke. "Is there anything I can do for you, sir?"

"I wanted to talk to you about the princess getting cursed thing. You know that the king is going to be sending out parties of adventurers to look for a way to undo the curse, right?" Admiral asked rhetorically. "Well, I have a bunch of money I'm not doing anything with, so I've offered to fund one of the parties personally so the king doesn't have to" he continued, then grinned again.

"Well, I saw you and your pal fight with the shapeshifters, so I think you'd make an excellent leader for the job. You seem to have already gathered your own party" Admiral said, motioning to the others. "All you're missing is an expert on the type of magic in question, and I already know who to look for in that department" he added.

"Naturally, the King needs to see the questing party and approve it before you set out," Ainfean hastened to add*

. "You might not get accepted at all. He just needs to speak to you." She nodded to Fergus, who hovered in the air nearby. "Here. Fergus will guide you to the palace; I need to find a couple of other people."

Anyway here's Blackwall

Cody got up, reluctantly. He normally wasn't a late sleeper, but flying around being amazing did tend to take a good chunk out of him. Also, the ring made him tired faster, for whatever reason. "Sam Hain and his wacky nephews, man." He grumbled as he stretched his wings, lifting off with a buzz. He then proceeded to fly downstairs, a morning flight was always refreshing, although the buzz of his wings could be quite annoying, especially when he had been drinking.

"Ok, people, whatever you just woke me for better be damn im..." He froze up when he spotted Ainfean. Not again. He briefly considered to slip on his invisibility ring. He wasn't quite sure why, as he made an effort to forget his failures as quickly as possible, but he remembered there had been a crazy maid lady-related failure in his recent past, and that he probably should keep low. Keeping low was harder than it looked when you were buzzing away, a good feet above the floor.

Jester stroked his chin in thought. "Are you sure? I mean, I'm only on my first assignment. Surely, there better-"

"What Jester means is he accepts you proposal", Tornado interrupted.

"Hey! Don't make decisions for me Granny!"

"Think about it Jester," Tornado assured him, "You've been sent out to get noticed by the Cyprilion leadership. What better way than by leading the group that saves the Princess?"

Sighing, Jester kneaded his temples. "Well, since I need to meet with the King anyway..." He sighed and followed the broom.

He chuckled to himself, "Geez, what am I? A storybook hero?"

"And you don't want to be that?"

"Now I didn't say that."
