Oh, well... I Wasn't aware he was hiding it, but Lavulman brings up a rather good point. The average length of a real-life rapier is nearly four feet; imagine hiding a four foot sword on your person? His own weapon would be of similar scale in comparison to his person, one would imagine. Even a long cloak would make hiding this exceptionally difficult. I thought the weapon was the reason he had tried to pass himself off as a knight?

@_@ Sorry. Holidays, homework. Family likes to play up the fourth. I've posted for Feuertanz. And Lugia, it's still your post if you're impatient! XD.
Professors on the other hand apparently aggressively disapprove of holidays. :| I had 13 assignments in 2 classes this week.

Also, not... 100% sure how I want to pace this RP...
Do you folks have any input? Any preference about how story development should occur? I have a specific idea for the big picture, but beyond that, you're welcome to create events and happenings and create NPCs. E.g. you're more than welcome to help push the story along in your own directions~.

Feuertanz, Schwarzenburg Gate

Once more, if only Feuertanz could hear the dragon's thoughts! He would have pounced at the chance for such discourse; but perhaps this is exactly why the notion was never put to voice! The quilava smiled at Alina, when he's finished with his prayer, and took his first step out onto the drawbridge.

Of course, Feuertanz was well aware that the rapier was the preferred weapon of nobility. He wasn't surprised - there were more folk who fancied the rapier than there were with the money to take classes - it was "in", and it made one look well-to-do! ...It was perhaps, though, surprising for a knight to carry one. Although knights were typically not drawn from lowborn stock, they also rarely chose a weapon so uniquely suited to single combat as the rapier. But he did not question this. Feuertanz was trusting, but consciously so: He saw inconsistencies and chose not to observe them, with a habit to take people at their word simply because it wasn't any of his business whether the whole truth was told.

Now, over the last few years, the small city beyond had become familiar to him; the castle depended on the city for sustenance as much as the city depended on the castle for defense. They bore the same name, the same history - it was a little strange, the city named "black castle", but one look up the hill dispelled any notions of confusion! Over the last two hundred years, of course, the sun has bleached the proud ebony walls of the castle; it's more of a dark smokey color now, in most places.

Nothing eventful likely happens in that city, though - it's a simple matter of following Mainstreet - the broad avenue that stretches from the southern end of the city to the northern, patrolled by guardsmen and regarded as a very safe part of town. Mostly. An hour's walk, perhaps two. It was admittedly wise to stick to the sides if one wasn't fond of being run down by carriages... But there would be a second gate, smaller, and beyond that the open road... the low slope of the valley beyond, which joined the forest a few miles away...

@bobert778 I'm planning to post but I'm caught up in real life right now, which is proving to be more of a bitch than anticipated. @_@

Key word is working out to be try.
I just got home from work and I have about three hours of homework to do before the end of the night and I'm about half asleep already... @_@
As always, anyone is certainly free to post without waiting for Feuertanz.

Sorry I didn't get around to posting last night. Wound up busier than I'd thought.
Got one up for Nihonto. I'll try to work out time to post for Feuertanz and Thassa today too.

Nihonto, Schwarzenburg Square

The typhlosion rolled his eyes - not exasperated, but somewhat amused. He refrains from comment about said rumors. "Those pastes will only last a few days, you know. But you're right - it's nice to have things like that. We'll forage for the bulk of our food, but we're going to need some hard staples in case things get tough. Smoked meat - uhm, what do you two eat again? I can never keep it straight. I believe... grains, right, suit the both of you? We'll find some rice, that keeps well and won't decay - we need only find water, and if water's a problem, food likely isn't a priority. Let me see..."

"Don't need a firestarter, obviously. We've got weapons - too much armor seems a hindrance. Don't need a hatchet, my sword doesn't dull. We'll need medicine though. Tourniquets, pills, potions. Tell you what..." He unclips his coin purse and starts counting. "Thorvald, will you handle the medicine? I like to carry several different poison remedies. Johann can recommend the best for the region. You might want to prepare for fire-related injuries, too. I understand that the cult of Anhara is concerned about our objective, and I can certainly imagine they might stick their fingers into our affairs. I don't count them enemies, but the Gods only know anymore, yes? ...If nothing else, you might suffer backdraft if I find myself in a...compromising position."

"...Frey can gather food, and... well, if you've got any personal affects, grab them. All I need is Nagina. We'll need at least two, three day's rations - no more than we can carry without strain, yes? Skins for water..." He counts off on his fingers, thinking, and hands them each a handful of gold coins. "...Aaaaand a little bit extra in case you think of something else."
Perhaps importantly, alcohol wasn't anywhere on his list! ...One could only assume the contents of the banded flask that hung at his hip, of course, but it didn't look like more than a day's supply. He was after all a social drinker, if a rambunctious one, and... well, he simply couldn't be dragging fifty pounds of hard liquor into the wilderness. That would have been astonishingly impractical!

@Lugia you're more than welcome to post if you would like to respond to Frey~

Onward Unto Dusk [Pokemon, Medieval]

@Lugia will try to post tonight. Right now I'm at work and I have class immediately after.

Onward Unto Dusk [Pokemon, Medieval]

@Lugia Yeah no we're still waiting on @ridlins.
