DMaster: you wake up, sun coming through the window, from what you can tell it is 8:00 am.

Chance: I will wash up, shave, etc, and get dressed

DMaster: You are ready to roll, you pass by your Mom in the living room in her maid outfit, getting ready for work

Chance: Chan: I am going to take care of the matter with Helynne and then I will come back to work

DMaster: MOM: Ok, tell Britney so she knows, but your shift doesn’t start until high sun (noon)
so you should be back by then

Chance: Chan: I would hope so anyways
Giving my mom a small hug and a smile
Chan: I love you mom, have a good day at work. I will make sure to find Britney, so no worries

DMaster: MOM: Love you too
She leans into your hug, smiles real big.

 

Chance: I will go and try to find Britney. Need to touch base and make sure everything is still on the up and up… well as much as the up and up can be with lies and deceit.

DMaster: You head down to the ground floor and look around. No one around except a few guests looking over a map and your mom walking down the stairs.

Chance: Head up to the second floor, look around

DMaster: Halls are very empty.

Chance: guess I could go to Britney’s room but I don’t want to disturb her. So I will head to the guard building instead.

DMaster: Perfect weather, mid 70’s, not a cloud in the sky and a light breeze. You head out to the guard building, a few people walk by with what looks like luggage and such. Looking farther ahead you see Britney coming towards you. She is in a light blouse, one of her favorite skirts and she has her hair up in a ponytail. She looks adorable.
BRIT: Ahhh, heading to the guard house I see
She stops next to you, looks down.

Chance: Look over this beautiful woman.
Chan: yeah to get grilled
I will smile a little hoping she sees it.
Chan: no time like the present to get this done and over with I guess

DMaster: BRIT: Yeah, she just asked what happened, and I said we went looking for Ferellus, got lost, found him knocked out, then we finally found our way out
She glances up and your eyes meet. She smiles
BRIT: Please Chance, don’t have an episode like yesterday, stay on point, ok?

Chance: Raise an eyebrow and nod my head.
Chan: I will make sure I stick to our story. Then I will get my behind back to work
Give her a reassuring smile
Chan: no worries, guess I will see you back at the Inn

DMaster: She looks exhausted, she glances around and then nods and smiles softly.
BRIT: lots of work to do today. King and Princess will be here in a day
She starts to walk away but not before grabbing your hand giving it a loving squeeze.

Chance: Chan: I understand and am up for all the work to be done
smile, squeeze back
Chan: Oh Britney?

DMaster: She turns to look, eyebrows up.

Chance: Chan: You look… adorable today.
Give her my smile.

DMaster: She is a little stunned, a smile washes over her face, pauses a moment, pushes some hair behind her ear and even blushes a little. She then starts to walk off. You walk to the guard house and nothing really of interest on your way. A few tourists, a guard or two, some cleaning people employed by Summer Isles

Chance: just walk with purpose to get this done and over with

DMaster: You show up at the guard house. Entering the building, the front area is roughly 20×20 with hallways leading back. A front desk sits in front of you, benches to the left and right. Helynne is at the front counter looking through a scroll

Chance: Chan: I am here as you requested Helynne

DMaster: Helynne looks up
HEL: OK, Good Morning.
She grabs a scroll and heads into a room to your left

Chance: wait for her to motion me to follow

DMaster: She sticks her head out of the room after a moment.
HEL: Come on Chance, I’m not sending a private invitation.

Chance: go in the room

DMaster: she closes the door, sits at her desk, and beckons you to a seat in front, The room is only about 12 x 12 and bare for the most part with a map tacked to the wall on one side, a window on the other. her desk in the middle facing the door and two seats in front. It is pleasantly cooler here for some reason.

Chance: take a seat

DMaster: HEL: So for the past two weeks, I have had to talk or apprehend you three times. My voice is getting hoarse with all this yelling.

Chance: Chan: you yelled and I listened
Give her a look of innocence
Chan: I wouldn’t have gone anywhere but when Ferellus’s sister found me and told me he was missing, I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

DMaster: Helynne rolls her eyes
HEL: OK, well, tell me what happened after you left the Inn to go look for Ferellus

Chance: Chan: well I decided that going alone was a bad idea, and I wanted someone with more experience in the matter. That is why I went and got Britney
Pause a moment to make sure I say the right things.
Chan: Then we left the Inn and headed to where you eventually found us. We went in and looked, and lost our way a bit. Found Ferellus with a bump on his noggin…

DMaster: Helynne is looking up at you, then down writing this on parchment.

Chance: Chan: we finally got Ferellus coherent enough. We had to make sure he was able to at least walk. Then we all said, ‘we better get him back home since his family was worried sick about him.’ Eventually we got our bearings as to where the entrance was and made it out. (breath) That is when we heard our names being called. I know if his sister hadn’t told me he was missing he would still be… well, missing. With all due respect I am glad I went looking for him. But next time I will leave that as a matter for you and the guards. I will not take matters into my own hands again.

DMaster: She exaggerates her writing and finishes.
HEL: Really. Interesting.
She is shaking her head slowly, squints at you with a weird frown.
HEL: blah blah blah…

Chance: Look at her with eyebrows raised, and just see what she does next

DMaster: HEL: I have interviewed all three of you now. You are the last, so I can be, well, forthcoming.
She leans back a bit, her cleavage more prominent. Hey, you’re a teenager, what else do you look at?
HEL: You are full of shit (smirks) and so are your other two friends.

Chance: Chan: and what makes you say that?

DMaster: HEL: Really? That is where we are going with this? Well let me see (puts her finger to her index finger) first off, Ferellus was not injured, no bump, no head injury. How was he knocked out if he was never hit? Saundra didn’t heal him, she said he wasn’t injured, and a Priestess of Animax does not lie. (puts her finger to her middle finger) Secondly, I found glass sand, a component for sleeping dust all over all three of you. Is this cavern filled with these clerical components? It is rare and expensive. That could be quite a find (raises her eyebrows, finger to her ring finger) and lastly, who the hell is Leanen? Did you forget something or someone, down there? (smirks)

Chance: Chan: Leanen? Have no clue who that is.
Shrug my shoulder and try to remain calm.
Chance: now may I go and get back to work please

DMaster: She is shaking her head, rubbing her temples
HEL: You don’t get it do you. This is serious shit. Ferellus was missing, and you guys just magically appear with him and some asinine story to boot. The cave you exited from did not have a cavern, it is almost a dead end with a locked door… we know there are old abandoned corridors there. So how did you get lost in a dead end unless you picked the only door you could? In an area that was forbidden on the island?

Chance: Chan: well I don’t know what else I can possibly tell you

DMaster: Her eyes bulge with anger.
HEL: The fucking truth!
She slams her hand down on the table.

Chance: Chan: well something’s are best left unsaid, let’s just say a locked door isn’t an issue

DMaster: HEL: No, they are not Chance, picking locks in area’s off-limits is against our laws. I am tired of this crap with you and Ferellus. Now you’re dragging Britney into it, she is under enough pressure right now.

Chance: Chan: well actually, Britney was the one that dragged me to look for Ferellus

DMaster: Helynne looks at you a bit disappointed, shaking her head.
HEL: Going to throw Britney under the horse cart now?

Chance: Chan: No, absolutely not. I said I was done causing trouble and will start heeding your warnings.

DMaster: HEL: Really? And look what happens afterwards? It’s like I speak in foreign tongues and I don’t exist. You have said this to me… I can’t count the times.

Chance: Chan: I just want to forget this ever happened and go back to work, no more caves, nothing… just work

DMaster: She leans back and throws the quill on the desk
HEL: Let’s round this all up, shall we? We have breaking and entering, a lie about getting lost, a lie about why you were missing so long and a lie about Ferellus’s injury.
looking at you, dead serious.
HEL: You know that is against our laws. Lying to authority.

Chance: Chan: you are the only one that said it is a lie

DMaster: Anger washes over her face.
HEL:EXCUSE YOU?!? It is a lie Chance! You are not telling me the truth and neither are the other two. So how can you say I am the only one when I have proof staring at me in the face.
she is getting even more angry, looks down at the desk, shaking her head.

Chance: Chan: well I told you what happened, take it as you see fit, now may I please leave

DMaster: HEL: Leave? Really, you think after this conversation you are going anywhere? No you are not leaving. In fact I am arresting you.
She quickly stands up, slamming her chair against the wall in the process.
HEL: Guard!
A guard walks in, he makes you stand and he is holding your arm.
HEL: Chance, you are under arrest for 4 counts of lying and 1 of breaking and entering.

Chance: Scrunch my nose.
Chan: 4? You only said 3 before.

DMaster: She leans over the desk, staring you in the eyes.
HEL: You just sat here, lied to my face, that makes FOUR.
Slams her hand down on the table. The guard takes you down a hallway into a back room with the cell. Open it, push you in and close it.

Chance: guess I will have a seat in the cell. lean back and relax since I am not going anywhere for the moment

DMaster: you are sitting in a cell in the back of a guard house. It’s a 10 deep 30 foot wide cell with a large office like area outside of it. 3 benches line the walls and only one window high on the far wall. It is warmer here, but a nice breeze is going through. Then a few minutes later, Ferellus is escorted in and put in the same cell. He looks around and then at you.

Chance: just shoot him a look

DMaster: FER: What?
He is giving you a weird look. Then not a minute later Britney is escorted into the cell as well, the cell door closes behind her.

Chance: oh I am sure Britney is pissed

DMaster: She stands against the bars, holding onto two of them. She looks down, sighs. She then slowly turns around, leans back against the bars.
BRIT: Isn’t this peachy
She grits her teeth
BRIT: So much for sticking to the story *whispering*
On the verge of crying, she looks out the high window
BRIT: This isn’t happening (shakes her head) This just is not happening…

Chance: Chan: I stuck to the story, but someone else didn’t (whispering)
Glance at Ferellus

DMaster: Ferellus gets a little angry, and is taken back
FER: I stuck to the story, but someone elaborated about my bump on my head
Giving you a sharp glance
FER: I wonder if you thought for one second that, I don’t know, if a Priestess of Animax won’t notice I am not injured, dur dur dur.

Chance: Stand up and get in his face.
Chance: well I didn’t mention a certain person’s name
Say it hissing.

DMaster: Ferellus matches you, nose to nose. Britney glances over and shakes her head, crosses her arms.
FER: who? what? Who’s name?

Chance: Chan: think about it Ferellus who was in that holding cell with us (whispering)

DMaster: He looks confused
FER: What are you talking about?
Britney took notice of that comment, raising her eyebrow.
BRIT: Yeah Chance, what are you talking about?

Chance: Chan: oh forget it, I am just going to sit back and not say anything at all
Walk back over, sit heavily on the bench.

DMaster: Britney walks over to you, with a tilted head.
BRIT: no, really what are you talking about?

Chance: Chan: No I am done with this, If I am going to book a room in the dungeon hotel, so be it.

DMaster: Britney scoffs and is getting angry too. She rolls her eyes
BRIT: Quit being a little bitch
FER: What is your malfunction? What name… you mean Leanen?

Chance: nod my head, looking at both of them and then lean back against the cell wall.

DMaster: FER: I didn’t say a thing about her. how could I if I stuck to the story?
Britney is looking perplexed
BRIT: I didn’t say anything, I almost forgot she was there

Chance: Chan: well the name was mentioned (whispering) That is what Helynne said. I lied, of course, said I had no idea who that was.

DMaster: FER: Helynne mentioned it?
He looks worried
FER: I did not say anything more than our story. I thought Helynne was being lenient until a guard showed up at my door.
BRIT: Me too. I wonder how Helynne got that name?
She shakes her head, pony tail bobbing around. Ferellus is eyeing her up in the corner of his eye, drooling a little.
BRIT: I smell a set up.

Chance: Chan: wasn’t from any of us then how? (whispering) unless information was sent to her. Or Britney you are right, she is setting us up.

DMaster: You guys all look at each other perplexed, Just then Helynne walks in the office area. She is walking over to the cell.
HEL: So who wants to tell me what really happened?

Chance: I sit back, quiet.

DMaster: Britney and Ferellus just stand there looking down.

Chance: looking at both Britney and Ferellus and staying silent

DMaster: HEL: OK, so who wants to say hello to your new… cellmate?
Leanen walks in through the door, meekly and eyes to the floor

Chance: I will not react, keep emotions in check

DMaster: Helynne looks at her and beckons her forward and then looks back in the cell. Britney glances up and her shoulders slump. She sighs and stands forward.
BRIT: Fuck me
Ferellus recognizes the elf, eyes light up.
FER: LEANEN!
HEL: Yeah, she said she met you guys in the “caverns” that don’t exist.
Helynne dramatically tilts her head and smiles sarcastically. Leanen looks up meekly and shrugs her shoulders.

Chance: stay silent and just kind of slap my forehead

DMaster: HEL: So anyone? Want to tell me what really happened. Why all the deception and games? That is before I send you guys to the Camerondale Dungeons.

Chance: looking at both Britney and Ferellus see if either of them are going to crack

DMaster: BRIT: Ok, I want to talk but only in private.
She is walking up to the cell door
BRIT: Honestly I think I have 5 days of work to do in a day and a half, and rotting in a ship for 3-4 days to the dungeons is not going to cut it.
Helynne walks Leanen in the cell and Britney walks out. The two of them head out of the cell office and the door closes.

Chance: Chan: not looking good Ferellus. (look at the elf) just how did you happen to be here Leanen
Sigh loudly and shake my head.
Chan: out of the frying pan and into the fire

DMaster: LEA: (whispering) Well those people let me go. When you guys were put to sleep they also put me to sleep. I woke up on the other side of the island in front of a bunch of trees and brush, Helynne was the first person I saw. She was waking me up.
She looks down and shrugs her shoulders softly.
LEA: When Helynne grilled me I just said I was lost in there.

Chance: Chan: and you never said anything about us?

DMaster: She shakes her head
LEA: No, I heard what was said. I had to keep quiet.
FER: So how did Helynne know that Leanen had anything to do with… (slaps forehead) She baited us! She did set us up!
He walks away a bit, puts hands on hips.
FER: Man, we are dumb.

Chance: Chan: I am sure Britney will end up getting out of this but me and you Ferellus I don’t know. Guess we might as well sit back and enjoy

DMaster: FER: Enjoy what?
Looks at you weird and shakes his head
FER: The smell of 3 day old puke? (uggg)
Ferellus and Leanen start chatting, both seem enamored with each other

Chance: just lean back and close eyes

DMaster: After a half hour the door opens and Helynne walks in.
Her face flushed, her actions erratic and it’s obvious she is upset. She is fumbling for her keys
HEL: I fucking give up. I really do.
She walks to the cell door, opens it and motions to the front door giving you all a sour scowl.
HEL: If royalty wasn’t coming in, I would be sending you guys off to the dungeons in Camerondale. But I don’t have time for this, and more importantly neither does Britney. There are extremely important things that have to get done before they arrive. Ferellus, you are lucky, you are not really a part of this, but I am letting you go just the same. Leanen, go… find some place that is above ground, ok?

Chance: taking cue to get the hell out

DMaster: all of you shuffle out, Britney is at the front of the guard house, hands on hips looking down, toe tapping.
BRIT: Ferellus, go home your parents and sister will be worried. Come on Chance we have a ton of work to do.

Chance: Chan: okay to work it is

DMaster: Both of you head in the direction of the Inn. and as you two walk back
BRIT: I did not really tell her much (whispering)

Chance: Chan: well I hope not, what about our loved ones? (whispering)

DMaster: BRIT: Well we both knew that this Royal vacation to the Summer Isles is here and we have little time. I can only hope that she forgets or just lets it slide after the visit. But she agreed that me and you in jail is a bad idea right now. Once they leave… I am not sure what she will do. If this visit goes without a hitch, she might just let sleeping dogs lay.

Chance: Chan: hopefully she will stop digging afterwards too (whispering)

DMaster: BRIT: I agree, but I have too much on my mind right now, to worry about that.

Chance: Chan: okay fine fine (whispering) let get to work we have a lot of work to do and not a lot of time

DMaster: BRIT: Thanks captain obvious, when you get back, get your mother and head to the supply store. Take the push cart. There is an order waiting for us.
Both of you get to the Inn, and you start working; we wont go into details. You do get the supplies, set up the second floor with a bunch of other employees, you see guards going over the inn, a hut was built on the east side of the building for guards.

Chance: keep doing all the work for the day and night work, as long as it takes, to get everything in order, I want to make sure it all goes well for Britney

DMaster: You finish cleaning the front floors in the entryway. It’s almost midnight (high moon) you have been working for 14 hours straight with only a small lunch break. Britney walks over to you wiping her hand on a towel. Her clothes are dirty.
BRIT: Looks good Chance, good job.

Chance: Chan: Thank You, I want everything to be perfect for tomorrow

DMaster: BRIT: Well we are just about ready.
Britney looks around
BRIT: I guess that’s it for tonight

Chance: Chan: unless you want me to burn the midnight oil

DMaster: Corine walks up to you two.

DMaster: COR: Britney, we need you at the front desk
BRIT: (smiles) no, thank you, go get some sleep you felon.

Chance: Smile and chuckle.
Chance: Ok, good night Brit

Chance: head upstairs to my apartment

DMaster: It’s quiet in the apartment, a small beam of light shoots through the kitchen from the large moon, your mom’s bedroom door is shut. You can hear soft snoring inside. You grab some sandwiches, scarf them down and then hit the bed. You have little trouble sleeping.

---

Next Day

---

DMaster: You wake up, your mom shaking you
MOM: Time to get up dear

Chance: Chan: awww Mom do I have to
try and roll over

DMaster: MOM: Britney needs you down stairs, go get a bath, and yes you have too!

Chance: get up grumbling, walk through the living room head to the bathroom to heat up some water

DMaster: You take a bath, and morning rituals; PLOP!

Chance: and then head back to my room to get into some fresh clean clothes. Make sure I am smelling good and my hair is dried. Then head downstairs to see what Britney needed, when I get downstairs look for her.

DMaster: The place is eerily quiet and empty, but you remember no one is staying here or pretty much on the Isles while Royalty is here. The second floor is pristine, with flowers, vases, candle operas. smells super clean as you walk into the entryway from the stairs. You have never seen this place look so good. New vases by the door, a new door, floors sparkle. Britney is over at the front counter with Corine. She is in this beautiful dress and has a flower braided into her hair.

Chance: Walk over to her, eyes big looking her over.
Chan: Wow. Brit.
Give her a satisfied and approving nod.
Chan: You look amazing.

DMaster: She slowly gets this big smile on her face, her face flushes a little and she giggles.
BRIT: Oh… (giggles again) thank you.
Corine gives you two a quick glance and a smirk, shaking her head softly. Britney hands you clothes, they are really nice rich clothing
BRIT: Change into them please. We need to make you look like… (quieter) well not a lock picking, breaking and entering, felon.
She gives you a playful smile and nudge.

Chance: Chan: But that’s my best look, damn.
looking at the clothes, then back at her and nod… smile. Thinking to myself nothing like showing off who I am not.
Chan: should I do anything with my hair? I mean do you want me to leave it loose or pull it back

DMaster: She gets close, even brushes against you. Things perk up, she smells amazing. She is looking over your hair
BRIT: No it looks good, brush it through once, or maybe ask your mom to help?
As you turn to leave
BRIT: Oh and you smell great, by the way.
She flashes you a glance, like she thought of wanting to push you on the closest table top and rip your clothes off. But she doesn’t. Winks and turns back to Corine.

Chance: smile at her, get my flopper under control.
Chance: well then I guess I will run upstairs and change and be right back. Head upstairs, see if my mom is still there

DMaster: She is standing in front of the mirror looking at her beautiful outfit she gets to wear

Chance: Chan: she wanted me for my outfit
Show mom my outfit

DMaster: MOM: oh very regal, you will look so handsome!
She does a curtsy for you so you can see hers.
DMaster: she smiles and turns around to look at herself again.

Chance: Chan: mom You are going to look beautiful in that!
Start messing with my hair
Chan: Can you do something with this mess? I want to look, well, not like I normally do I want to look my best

DMaster: She walks into her room, gets a little plain hair holder, gathers your hair up and sets it up. Looks very regal.

Chance: Smile real big for her. go to my room and change into my new outfit and then go show my mom once I am dressed

DMaster: She is smiling,
MOM: You look like a prince

Chance: Chan: I could only wish I was a prince, if I were, I would give you the world
Smiling at her

DMaster: she smiles real big, gives you a small hug (so not to mess either of you up) turns and walks in her room

Chance: Chan: I am heading downstairs.

DMaster: MOM: Ok, see you a bit later

Chance: take my time walking down the stairs and once downstairs head over to Britney

DMaster: Britney and Corine look up, smile and are taken back a bit.
COR: Look how this guy cleans up, (winks)

Chance: Chan: well I don’t know about that
smiling and shrugging my shoulders feeling out of place.

DMaster: BRIT: (smiles) Yes, now if he just had manners

Chance: Chan: hey now I have manners M’lady
I kind of bow a little, grinning

DMaster: Britney and Corina both shake their heads. The front doors open slightly and two guards that appear to be 5 star walk in. Behind them Helynne stands dressed in very fine armor. Britney walks over to Helynne and they start talking, from what you hear it’s about the security of the place, etc.

Chance: Okay great now I have to look at her as well? Thinking to myself

DMaster: Helynne looks over to you
HEL: Chance, you look… like a gentleman
She playfully raises an eyebrow

Chance: Chan: thank you Helynne, I think…
Smile real big for her

DMaster: She turns back to Britney
HEL: Word is they will be here within the hour, so I have to get to the docks. Everything good here?
BRIT: Yes thank you, everything is secure.
Brit walks over to her, puts her hand on her arm and whispers
BRIT: Thank you for EVERYTHING
They exchange glances, Britney even tears up a little and smiles.
HEL: Ok Ok, well if you need anything, let me know.
She glances back at you
HEL: Behave
The Captain points her finger at you.

Chance: Chan: I will, I promise
Look innocent.

DMaster: Helynne motions the guards to leave. She walks out with them. Your mom walks up.
MOM: Oh dear, what did Helynne want? Is she here for you?
Britney is giggling a bit at what your mom said.
BRIT: Ahhh our little Island felon. We can play a game, every time Helynne shows up we can guess Chance’s crime.
Your mom looks around a bit confused, and goes back to Britney. Corine snorts.

Chance: Sigh and give Britney a look.
Chance: it’s all good, mom. More or less she told me not to make a fool of myself today.

DMaster: MOM: Oh… (relieved) that’s good advice
She is nodding her head, still giving Britney the eye. Britney is pretending she doesn’t see it and fiddles with her dress.

Chance: Chan: is there anything I should do today? I don’t know about any of this and I have never been around royalty.

DMaster: Your mom pauses a moment and thinks
MOM: Just don’t say a lot. Be at attention, don’t stare. I talked to Britney earlier. We just have to be at their every whim and keep things secure, report any suspicious activity

Chance: Chan: (smile) okay we can do that well do we mingle or just stay put
Look for a good place to stand.

DMaster: MOM: Oh dear, we stay put, we are the help – No mingling. We will be; where Britney needs us, most likely over by the front counter.
Your mom goes around the desk and stands next to it. The doors open wide. Two guards walk in and you hear a commotion start from outside the Inn. Britney comes walking back in from her room, looking awesome still and smelling amazing.
BRIT: Ok, everyone, on your best behavior!

Chance: go stand by the front counter, getting nervous.

DMaster: A few servants stumble in with some gear, and it gets quiet for a minute. Then the doors open a bit more with guards pushing them open. In walks a blonde girl with big piercing green eyes. Her walk is almost a glide, she is thin but not without curves. You know this to be the Princess. She is wearing a somewhat drab outfit. Must have been for comfort during the trip. Behind her are two girls, a red head and another blonde girl. You think of them as her ladies. Two knights of Camerondale follow her in, one male and one female. They are both in full Bluesteel armor, shields, swords and clanking noises that ring through the Inn’s entrance way. Two more guards come in afterwards waiting at the entrance as the entry room has started to fill up.

Chance: Stay on my best behavior, unless motioned for.

DMaster: DM: So if you are motioned for, you won’t behave yourself? LOL
Six island workers have trunks, boxes and bags. Britney is guiding them, and they head up the stairs groaning the whole way up. The group follows them up, princess and all. You hear Britney pointing out the rooms and such, you hear footsteps, dragging and movement down the halls on the second floor. Your Mom leans over and whispers
MOM: Wow, the Princess is beautiful

Chance: Chan: (nodding) yes she is

DMaster: Britney walks down the stairs looking out to the entrance. She then walks over to you and your mom
BRIT: Ok… they are settling in
MOM: Anything we can do Britney?
BRIT: Just be ready hon.
She smiles at your mom, hoping she forgot about her calling her son a felon.

Chance: Chan: as you say, we got this.

DMaster: It is calm for the moment, though it is still buzzing. Helynne walks in and motions for one of the Knights. Helynne stands at the doorway talking to a Camerondale knight, sweat beading down her face. You hear Helynne call him Valario. He is in straight up blue steel armor, dark short hair, well built and apparently sweating his balls off.

Chance: just stay sharp, looking around

DMaster: You see Valario head to the stairs and Helynne leaves. The Princess walks down with both of her maidens. She has changed into a beautiful flowing soft white gown, with some golden accents, higher heeled shoes and some expensive jewelry. Both her maidens also look much nicer than when they walked in.
VAL: M’lady, where is it you would like to go? We do not have an itinerary for this day.

DMaster: Affinity looks at Valario concerning and smiles
AFF: Oh dear Valario, you are going to pass out with all that armor on, it is hotter than Animax’s fireplace.

Chance: trying not to be too obvious but look over at the princess

DMaster: VAL: It is a bit warm I must say, my grace (wiping forehead) but I will be fine
The Princess smiles softly and motions out to the entrance, where the guard barracks are.
AFF: No. That’s an order, there is no rush and I will wait here for you. Go change into something more… appropriate
The Knight smiles and nods
VAL: As you wish my grace
He heads outside to the makeshift guard hut. The Princess finishes the descent down the stairs with her ladies. looks around and spots you and your mom. She strides over to the front desk where you stand. She has this aura about her, radiant. Her ladies seem to be perfect girls, just following behind her, both looking shy.

Chance: follow my mom’s lead

DMaster: Affinity holds out her hand and your mom kisses it, then curtsies. Then the Princess puts her hand out to you.

Chance: bow and kiss her hand as well

DMaster: You look up and your eyes meet. She stares for a moment while you are drinking in her beauty. Affinity backs up a bit, shaking off her staring contest with you.
AFF: And what are your names?
MOM: umm… uhhh… I am Josephine and this is my son Chance, my Grace.
The Princess looks at you then back at your mom.

Chance: Chan: (nods) Chance, yes, my name is… Chance.
Stumbling over the words, regretting it instantly.

DMaster: Affinity smirks and is looking at you both perplexed, eyebrow raised
AFF: Your… son? Well, it is a pleasure to meet you both. and I would say I do not want any special treatment while I am here
She looks around, glances at you and giggles
AFF: I guess it’s a little too late for that

Chance: Chan: I guess it is your grace
Give her a smile

DMaster: Britney stops what she is doing seeing someone through the window. She wheels around, gives out a little girl shriek and she runs for the door. Your mom looks to the door and her eyes light up
JOS: OH MY, The King!
Your mom goes down to one knee, you see everyone follow suit. Britney does no such thing; she runs and gives the King a huge hug. The King is taken back a bit but returns the huge hug and just laughs. Britney then gives him a big kiss on the cheek.

Chance: get down on one knee as well

DMaster: The king smiles and whispers a few things in Britney’s ear, he then looks around the room
KING: No, no, no, everyone thank you for your honor, but this is vacation, and please, please just relax
Britney is smiling as she looks over the room
BRIT: Yeah, like that will happen
KING: (slowly shaking his head) Aye, everyone stand please.
Everyone stands.

Chance: still kind of looking at the princess, standing up.

DMaster: Affinity walks towards the King
AFF: My Lord, you made it!
She gives him a hug, the King returns the hug and smiles.
AFF: (whispering) any word on my mother and uncle?
The King frowns a bit and shakes his head
KING: I am afraid not, we will have couriers daily though. You know it could get a bit sketchy for them. But I am sure they are fine, they want this vacation as much as anyone. The news will have a few day delay so, just remember that.

Chance: I am sure I can hear them talking. Smiling a little more

DMaster: The King is looking around, then up the stairs
KING: Well let me get to my room, and then we can go out to eat
Affinity bows a bit, backs off
AFF: Yes, M’Lord
Valario comes in the entrance wearing much lighter clothing, but still has his sword and what you can tell multiple daggers. The Camerondale seal is on the belt he has across his chest. Affinity notices and glances over.
AFF: Ahh, Valario much better huh? (smiling)

Chance: watch and make sure no one is asking for me

DMaster: A stocky gentleman, in fine clothing, beard and slick backed hair, walks into the Inn, and you know him as Winston the mayor of Summer isles. Winston stops, sees the Princess and bows

Chance: just kind of keep watching in awe of everything

DMaster: Affinity holds out her hand
AFF: Mayor Winston, I presume
The Mayor stands up straight and kisses her hand
WIN: Yes, M’Lady
Britney walks over to stand with you and your mom

Chance: just keep watching everything

DMaster: After a few minutes of pleasantries, the kings walks down the staircase in a light colored tunic and light pants with a hat on

Chance: smiling as he does

DMaster: The Mayor instantly goes to one knee.
WIN: My King.
KING: Winston my man, we have known each other for many years, get off your damn knee and take me to a restaurant with some great food!
Everyone in the room chuckles. Winston stumbles up.
WIN: Yes, my lord!

Chance: still in awe of the whole event

DMaster: Winston walks out first followed by the King, then Valario, the Princess and her ladies. Two guards follow up behind. One of the Knights set up at the base of the staircase, and you notice now that she changed her clothes, it is a woman. She has darker hair, and is fairly built for a female, she has two short swords at either side.

Chance: just kind of looking around

DMaster: She is guarding the staircase making sure she checks everyone heading up and down
BRIT: Well I am not sure what you can do for now, don’t go far, but “at ease” for now

Chance: Chan: may I go outside for a minute or two and get some fresh air

DMaster: BRIT: Of course

Chance: Chan: thank you, I need it

DMaster: It is about 11am. The temperature is 80 degrees, little strips of clouds line the sky, bright sunshine.

Chance: just looking around, go outside and enjoy the fresh air

DMaster: two guards stand on either side of the doorway, both dressed in leather style armor, both are sweating. Many visitors are walking by slowly, it looks like their bags are packed and leaving. They are looking in and talking amongst themselves. Helynne is a short ways from the doorway talking to other guards. You can see, even from a distance, she is sweating profusely. She keeps wiping her head.

Chance: I will walk back inside, grab a cup of water and walk it out to Helynne. Need brownie points, lots and lots of brownie points.

DMaster: She smiles and takes the water. Then eyes you suspiciously. Sniffs the cup. Then smirks.
HEL: Thank you Chance…
Four more workers from the Isles come to the Inn with a few more bags and a trunk.

Chance: guess that is my cue to go back inside, stand by the front desk in case I am needed

DMaster: Your mom is wiping off some of the tables in the welcome area. Britney is eating a sweet roll and drinking some bean water. She is staring out into oblivion. Time passes with very little to report.

Chance: well ,I will just keep put for the moment

DMaster: Finally, you see guards come into the Inn, Valario heads in first looking around.

Chance: keep watching

DMaster: The Princess comes in, followed by her ladies. the King enters and is laughing with them. They all have shopping bags in their hands. Britney looks up from her space adventure and walks over

Chance: good maybe I will be of some use

DMaster: The King looks over to Britney
KIN: Brit my dear we have some catching up to do
BRIT: Yes we do (smiling)
She looks at you, snaps her fingers and points to the bags.
BRIT: Chance to get these bags for the Princess, her ladies and King.

Chance: Chan: yes Britney
I walk over and get the bags,

DMaster: The King hands you one of his and the Princess hands you the two of hers. Your eyes meet and you both smile. The two ladies giggle and smile leaning into each other

Chance: Chan: I shall take them to your room, My Grace

DMaster: She nods and looks over to Valario
AFF: Valario please get the courier. I wish to see if we have any word from my mother.
VAL: Yes, My Grace
