002 - [Video] Open action at the Palace!

[servidude]

[Count Gailardia is lounging in a very richly furnished window, dressed in a well-cut uniform, looking all... Swankified. And fancy. The opulence of the palace rooms he's standing in is only visible peripherally, as most of his focus is on the courtyard below. Beautiful gardens, a spotless white path and fountains gurgling in the sun

[And Yuri happens to be sneaking around the Palace, Sword at his hip for once as he carries a suspicious looking bag. He's rummaging! Confident enough that he doesn't care about making noise or not. If he's caught- well, let's just say he's good at getting himself out of a messy situation.

Feel free to notice, Count~]

action;

[servidude]

[Yep! Noticing. And you know what, his first instinct is not to confront you, Yuri! He's going to, lurk around the corner out of sight and watch this nefarious infamous thief in the reflection of one of the many expensive mirrors on the walls.]

[Is he looking for something specific, or is this just a random looting venture? He's curious. It's not as if the palace is without it's precious secrets.]

[notflynn]

[He caught word of a precious treasure hidden within the Palace a little while ago. Right now he's looking for some kind of key, some kind of hint- anything to get to it. If it's all that precious, it must fetch a pretty penny. Enough to free the peasants from their rent and bring prosperity to them for once. Not just the rich.

He sighs, sets the bag on top of the little set of drawers he's been looking in. Then he turns.]

Aren't you a little too old to play hide and seek?

action;

[servidude]

Haha, you caught me.

[Guy steps out from around the corner, smiling cheerfully and giving Yuri the most friendly look ever! Even if his hand is resting lightly on his sword.]

You should really pick a better target than the Palace.

[umathematic]

... sporting?

voice;

[servidude]

Yes. A game or hunt perhaps. Would you like to?

voice;

[umathematic]

[ THERE IS A REASON WHY THIS IS VOICE... the shiftiest silence. ]

Maybe. You got anything to stake?

voice;

[servidude]

[He is the most happy-go-lucky noble okay.]

I believe I could back any game with a suitable wager. What did you have in mind?

[dulcisnuntius]

What sort of game? Croquet? People seem to be very keen on croquet here.

[servidude]

Do you feel like croquet? We could round up a few idlers for a game!

[dulcisnuntius]

It seems like there are a few people interested...

[servidude]

There are, I think we could get a decent game running at this rate.

[greatergone]

A game? What game?

[servidude]

I guess there are so many to choose from. And the day is young.

Was there something you wanted to try? Piquet and croquet seem to be the popular picks.

[greatergone]

I have never heard of either.

[servidude]

You're joking!

BUT DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO STEAL, YOUNG MAN.

[renegare]

[ Pauses in his mid-oh-where-is-the-next-mark-day palace stroll, glancing at this incarnation of a sheer offence against his retinas.

( The studs, bro? Seriously? Must be all the cake you nobles get, going to your head. )

...ah well, gotta hustle. He does approach, looking anywhere between jail warden, jail bait and traumatized. A good sporting commoner air. ]

Deal a hand.

PLENTY OF VALUABLE THINGS. LIKE PRIZE RAPPIGS

[servidude]

[It's not his fault he has no fashion sense he doesn't really care what he wears! At least this outfit is sans tights.]

[Unlike most nobles he doesn't seem at all put out to be so approached and addressed. Rather casual about it!]

Just the two of us?

......he'll take the gold buttons.

[renegare]

[ He stares at the wall for a moment, half-smirking. Waiting, waiting... ]

Unless a servant should hold your cards.

Well I guess gold works too... He'd much rather you take the rappigs

[servidude]

I don't really hold to that. Anyone who can play, should.
