I'm glad things worked out for you Blade. Also, I plan to post tonight but.... I got the Mass Effect trilogy so I can't completely promise that...

I... I can sympathize with you on that Agni...

think maybe my situation'll be okay now, actually. I'm pleasantly surprised by how not immediately terrible things went.

Yay for not terrible!

Curse of the Beasts

Nina was surprised to have been assumed to be a new butler. However, she smiled internally as the servant gave her his jacket. This was a way in, and the best part was that she could play it up and gain information on the castle and it's inner workings. Not to mention she wouldn't be lumped in with the girls now, if they remain quiet about her real name. While she hated falling back into her old habits... this situation was excellent. Free clothes and new interesting place to work. "My apologies for the messy clothes, my last master was of ill repute and was drunk when I left... he was not pleased with me. My name is Nico, and I'm honored to work here." as she spoke, she threw on the jacket the servant handed her and bowed once again. As he turned away from her, Nina straightened up again behind him, pressing a finger to her lip as he asked for introductions. If they could keep quiet about her name, then she might have a chance to save them all.

Curse of the Beasts

"Having a master is simply something that I am quite used to. I have had one my entire life which kept me clothed and fed, but it seems that my brief stint in a jail cell left me looking worse for wear... I shall have to fix my clothes when I get my first chance..." Nina answered Lyra. She didn't care about the other girl, but she'd find something to do in the castle to make them all more comfortable, whether it be fighting off the beasts or serving them breakfast. It also seemed that Lyra had a preference for 'Nico', so she'd have to keep that in mind.

Then Allie whined about her lack of a family. Nina had to bite her tongue to hold it from lashing out at Allie. Once she calmed down some, she said, "I think more people will miss you than you think. After all, I have been exiled and you have merely been sacrificed. You can still go back if you wish." Nina didn't think any more on the subject, as she knew it would make her angry, which was unbecoming of a butler. As she stuffed down her bitter anger, another girl showed up, Alyxendria. Nina gave another deep bow to the girl, showing her respect. Although, it was still strange that people were calling her madam. She was so used to 'sir' or 'boy' that it was still a bit of a culture shock to go back to madam.

Then the final girl showed up, and a quick glance at her face from where Nina was still bowed showed that the girl had been crying recently. However, her aura made Nina feel that... that this latest girl might be a touch self centered. Though it was hard to say without hearing her speak, it was in the way she said nothing and walked up to them. "I am Nina or Nico, whichever you so prefer will be fine." it would be rude to not introduce herself to the newcomers anyway.

There's always some important detail that I forget in these things. This time, it happened to be the time period. My mind processes "time" a bit strangely, so...

Maybe it's because time is a man-made concept.

ANYWAY, I guess we wait and see what the others think.

Me too. No tech has been used yet, so we could theoretically change the time frame.

If we don't I gotta edit her history a little...

.............*frantically checks notes* Roughly similar to modern times is probably a good assumption. Not a particularly urban area, though, so keep that in mind.

I thought it was 1800s.
Well shit.

Curse of the Beasts

This was... new. Someone who actually cared about her happiness for a change. How interesting this Allie was. "Unfortunately, it's a reflex now, and it's rather giving me something to do than ordering me around. Though... thank you for your concern about my well being. I don't think whatever these boys do will be worse than the villagers' wrath, however." she added under her breath, "it seems that no one likes to be deceived." Nina smiled, although it was more a reflex from her butler days.

Friends... could be dangerous, however. Depending on whatever laid within the castle, or whatever challenges ahead, she didn't mean the words she'd said earlier. These boys would be dangerous, the question was to what extent they needed to be worried. Nina had to wear a stoic face in front of the ladies so they wouldn't panic. She knew that regular noblewomen panicked easily and allowed their emotions to get the better of them. However, Nina wasn't going to lead these women to their slaughter either. Her own survival was inconsequential, anyway. These women had people who would miss them, whereas Nina had no one. She was alone.

I'm good on either short on long posts. But I really hope to strengthen my ability to write long style with detail, and to be able to do it well.

All it takes is practice. Take time to ask, what would this person be doing while talking, or how do they respond then carefully write responses.
It not always perfect, but it helps.
