Bert was feeling a lot better about things. He wasn't fighting with Gisela anymore, he could go home if he wanted (though coming back was tricky), and he was having a pretty good morning work out. He was pushing some dummies over when he saw a few strangers to the field coming down. He recognized the kid at least, but they had swords and it was ( Read more... )

Gunter felt a bit relieved after the outing (and subsequent snuggling) with Josak the day before. It was closure that he needed and he was a little more at ease with himself. He wasn't sure if he'd be forgiven by the only one that mattered, but until they met in the afterlife, then he wasn't going to stress over it any longer ( Read more... )

It was early. Yozak didn’t mind. There was something that needed to be done, and slipping out before most in the castle would be up and roaming seemed best. Gisela had complained; she wanted it done sooner than later. Something about having to drive off people wanting to take a peek. There was even a theft attempt. If anyone higher up had a problem ( Read more... )

Gisela woke up wonderfully late. All of the work yesterday, plus Bert being sick, had knocked her right out. But now she felt much better, more energy. Bert wasn’t anywhere to be seen, so she assumed he was off working out or eating or doing whatever it was he did. She took his absence as a sign he was feeling better ( Read more... )

Ken spent most of the day unconscious - sleeping. He'd been dead to the world until around noon, and then drifted in and out for a while longer. Then, for about an hour, he lay in bed, staring at the wall, thinking. Thinking about yesterday, and Julia and how she was never coming back, and wondering if Gunter made it out of that encounter okay. ( Read more... )

Gunter got to spend time with his surrogate daughter, which wasn't too bad. Though, the storm hindered most of hsi possibilities and the lack of maryoku just was weird. He slept in, curious to the singed clothing in the room, but didn't give it too much thought. He flirted his way through a light, late breakfast and now was looking for something or ( Read more... )

Gise woke up early and had already gotten dressed.  She already put away all the clothes and shoes that she picked out in town yesterday.  She was wearing a white sundress with lace frills and had tied her hair into pigtails with blue satin ribbons.  She was dancing around her room, barefoot, with a smoldering smudge stick in the air.  Fortunately ( Read more... )

Gise was in bed very comfortably and woke to the sweet smell of flowers from the gardens of the castle.  She opened her eyes and stretched her arms up and her legs out as she yawned.  She vigorously threw the sheets to the side and pulled herself to sit on the side of the bed.  She got up and walked to the window and threw open the curtains and ( Read more... )

Yozak was aware something was going on, but as of yet, had not figured out what. He couldn’t find anyone to clue him in on current events. That was troublesome, as his recollection of yesterday was fuzzy at best, and left him with a bit of a headache if he tried too hard to remember. He wandered a bit. Questioning soldiers and maids revealed that ( Read more... )

Hube spent the previous day babysitting ... a lot of kids. Even as a child, the terminator had more control over himself than anyone else so he’d taken it upon himself to try at least to protect the castle. He’d stood in one spot the entire time on the battlements and that’s where he was when the sun rose and further on into the day until he ( Read more... )
