It'd be great if people talked OOC

But anyway. I just got done a post that's been waiting a week for me. And am about to get ready for work. I'll think while I'm away but I'd love if my players helped out a little bit too.

@ViolentViolet That sounds good! Again, sorry for not posting ;-; I'll try to come up with a post as soon as I can!

I am talking in the ooc!

Is that good VV?

So...
Nice weather, huh?

For the next day I think King Volarian (Alarieth) should hold a feast to celebrate Jaime's (Violentviolet) recent battle. It will give an opportunity for everyone to be at the same spot to include the King's family, Kingsguard, and the royal chef.

Imagine the shenanigans and possibilites that could happen. You will have prince quay angry that he can't leave. Jaime is celebrating his victory. Rouen having to converse with the king despite hating him.

Maybe the royal chef's friend mysteriously goes missing and he overhears that there is slime pudding for dessert. Cue a duel between the royal chef and the Kingsguard, in the feast room.

Oh my god. Yes.

but very few people actually know that Spoony is a slime
Unless someone accidentally found out and then this happened...

this could work!

Heh, I was thinking that spoony disappears and the royal chef gets wind that a special slime pudding dessert was going to be served.

Royal chef thinks somebody killed and cooked spoony when she actually got distracted by the festivities. She is in fact wandering among the feat watching people dance and have fun.

He walks in to the feast area in a panic to see Cleo Vauch lift his spoon to dig into the pudding.

Royal chef panics and tackles Cleo. CLeo is pissed off and throws down the gauntlet. Jaime and the king egg them on to fight drunkenly while Rouen watches in amusement. Princess viola tries to stop them from fighting while prince quay sulks away. Spoony watches in horror. The crowd gathers up in a circle to create an arena for the two fighters.

This is the best. Literally. It all fits so good together! We freaking need to make this happen.

I never expected Cleo and Hero to have such a violent relationship, but I love every second of them hating each other.

It should be entertaining to watch it happen. Maybe Hero's tenacity during the fight will impress the King.

Maybe the King will even be impressed enough to grant Hero a favor. Hero will ask to become one of the Kingsguard.

Cue sudden whisperings and murmurs among the crowd. Cleo is outraged. Jaime gets alerted and tells the royal chef that the Kingsguard isn't for everyone and that only the best warriors can join. Rouen sips from his flask and looks on amused.

The King ponders and thoughtfully states that he will consider Hero's request. He will send Hero on a mission to stop slavers in one of the nearby town. This causes Jaime and Cleo to protest. Rouen suddenly frowns. (Maybe he has his Veiled Men doing something sinister in that town)

Hero accepts and the King says he will step off the next day with Cleo. CLeo is fuming at this point, but the King shuts him up saying that he serves the King's will and not his own.

And the next day we are all set to have everyone in the rp enter the town to arrest or kill the slaver.

The fallen are coming to undermine the kingdom's credibility with its people. Lupus and his merry band just want to stop the slavers. Hero sets off to arrest the slaver and achieve his dream while Cleo tags along angry and reluctant.

And all in the meantime Rouen sends out a message from the castle to one of his operatives in the town. Maybe he is doing something secret to stop the slavers.

Or maybe he is not. Questions, questions.

The only issue with that is that Hero is currently debating whether or not he wants to be in the Kingsguard. I'm thinking instead of Hero asking to be part of the Kingsguard, the King is impressed and asks him to go on a mission to test him, but keeps his motives veiled. Than I think everything would fit. But I'm unsure if that's out of character for the King.

I like the idea, except one thing: in this whole idea you mentioned about everyone from lightkeep except Sam. What would he do?

It depends on whether Sam is a member of the Kingsguard or simply a skilled warrior in service to the king.

Either way Sam's response depends on how you believe he will act during the feast. Maybe he is trying to outwardly demonstrate that he is enjoying the feast but is internally struggling to control his killing urge.

Maybe it had been a while since he killed and he has been going through a heavy withdrawal. He continues to struggle as the fight between Cleo and Hero begins.

Finally as the feast ends, the king secretlyy calls Sam to his side. He tells Sam to tag along with Cleo and Hero. As soon as they arrest the slaver, he wants Sam to kill him and make it very obvious that the slaver died from the King's justice to the townfolk. He wants to invoke memories of what happened at the village of Rung with this execution. If they fail to arrest the slaver, Sam is to take whatever is necessary to eliminate the slaver.

The King's goal is to brutally and forcefully remind people of what happens to those who don't comply with justice, and to demonstrate to the Kingsguard's two newest members what they are expected to do.

That is how I see it anyway. Kingsguard or not, I see Sam as the King's personal hitman.

And now I think we are all waiting on Violet to wrap up the next day so we can continue heh. In the meantime I'll happily keep brainstorming in the OOC.

In fact Im thinking of writing up character impressions for Rouen. A short blurb on what Rouen knows of for each character and what he thinks of them.

I've seen it get pretty popular on another rp and it is just another outlet to stave off the wait.

@Kafka Komedy

True, maybe the king is impressed with Hero's performance in the brawl and cordially asks him to help arrest a slaver in a nearby village. The king would use this as a test to see how hero pars in real conflict.

Huh. Not a bad idea. I might just do that at some point. For now though, I'mma play some DMC4.

Yeah sorry about the wait guys. I got caught up in things the last few day and just haven't had any time to type a response anywhere.

It's cool dude, it's cool. Life comes first sometimes, we've all gotten wrapped up before.

@ViolentViolet@Kafka Komedy

Np! We are all eagerly awaiting. In the meantime I will be finishing up writing Rouen's analysis on the Wolfman known as Shep Lupus.
