*is no longer dripping with wine nor troubled with a bucket on his foot but is once again looking despondently out the front gates*

... Lady Chris. Where are you?

*the clanking of metal and is that ... wood? can be heard echoing down the halls of Budehuc; there is a rather displeased looking Zexen knight dragging what looks like a wooden bucket attached to one of his feet and is dripping significantly with red liquid. As he approaches closer, each step is punctuated by a word*

WHO. THE. HELL. IS. RESPONSIBLE ( Read more... )

Lord Salome?

... Um. I can't believe I'm asking. I'm going to regret this. Is it possible ... that you might need assistance with your paperwork by any chance?

...

And have you heard from Lady Chris? Has anyone heard from Lady Chris at all? And if I find out that that everyone but myself has heard from her, I'm going to drown myself in wine.

... Lady Chris ...

Ah, Lord Salome. Percival. I ... I have to go back to the capital for a bit. There are more means to distract myself there. Not to mention that most of the females here are still young girls ...

I'll be back. Eventually ...

*one of the Six Mighty Knights of Zexen can be seen coming through the gates, not wearing his armor, having gone after Chris in haste after reading her letter; he's pretty dusty from having travelled on foot and is looking very downcast*

... Lady Chris ...

...

What did I do wrong?

*is standing by the gates, impatiently looking out at all the people coming and going; and maybe a tad bit under the influence*

Come on, Percival. Where are you? It's almost Yule. Just because I'm with Lady Chris doesn't mean that I don't want or need you around. What's that saying again? Dicks before chicks? Bros before hos?

*shakes his head* ( Read more... )

I had the most bizarre dream last night and I don't know what to make of it. Something about ghosts of Zexen Past, Present and Future. Sir Wyatt, Lady Chris and a little blonde girl that I didn't recognize ... And my name isn't Scrooge. I'm not a stingy grump either.

...

Am I?

*shakes his head* Maybe I really should cut back on the drinking.

Damn it. I have no idea when Percival is supposed to return and I must admit that I'm growing increasingly bored without him around.

...

Lady Chris? Lord Salome? Would you like to share a few bottles a bottle of wine with me, by any chance? Or anyone, really? It's all I can do to pass the time around here when I'm not patrolling.

*stops in the middle of the square after running from a particular shop, breathing heavily and looking very flustered. There also appears to be a ... lacy bra on his shoulder plate as well as matching panties on the top of his hair. Both of which he is blatantly oblivious of.*

Damn those women. I wasn't trying to peek, for heaven's sake! Only ( Read more... )

*is going back and forth, glancing at various dresses in the shops, and looking very indecisive*

I wonder which one she'll like. Ah, but no matter which one it is, she'll look beautiful as always, no matter what. More beautiful than every other woman combined ...
