{Nexus- Plot} Imperial City of Retyisa

[Lex-Kat]

This plot has been moving extremely slowly, so I thought I'd bring it here, so that it isn't swallowed whole by Serious Plots 2.

For future reference, the spoiler contains what happened before.

[Front Door]

Unless I'm wrong, Lleth and Carrie arrive here or as near to it as possible.

Lleth follows Carrie, looking around nervously.

The young death goddess steps forward to knock on the door.

Reginald was nearby so he thought what the hell and answered the door. He was still wearing his Victorian Era Suit and his white gloves. He looked the young death goddess up and down.
"Good afternoon, ma'am, is there anything I can do for you, ma'am?"

Carrie smiles.
Hi. I'm here to initiate a contract.
She shifts her folded wings, feathers brushing together quietly.

Reginald doesn't let them in just yet.
"Could I perhaps please know what it is? If that's okay...."

Lleth speaks up.
Rescuing someone that's been abducted.

Main Room

Reginald is a bit startled by this person he didn't see before, but it doesn't show. He ushered them into the Main Room and directed them to a seat and there's probably magazines and Stephan King books. He walked over and knocked on a penguin door and whispered:
"Could one of you get Dipsnig while I stay here and make sure they don't try anything funny?"
Once he was done he walked over to the pair.
"There'll be a slight delay since Dipsnig is a busy goblin....."

Carrie nodded, following Reginald to a seat in the main room.

Reginald sits across from her.
"So what's being a goddess of death like?"

Lleth, the former flame goddess sits as well, keeping fairly quiet.

It's got lots of hugging involved.

"That sounds like me. I have to hug someone every three hours or else my head blows up."

[Surgery -> Main Room]

I'll leave you here while I deal with someone who just showed up. CB, notify me if anything changes. And with that, he heads to the Main Room. Once there, he looks at everyone present. How may I help you?

"I'll just go, then. I don't need to be here....."
He got up and began to leave.

Carrie looks up at Dipsnig.
My friend and I need help in rescuing a captive.
She gestures to Lleth.

Dipsnig taps his fang. We may be able to provide such help. Give me some details, please.

The person in need of rescue is my friend's mother, who has been wrongfully sentenced to death. The execution is in several days.

My friend and I can teleport ourselves and any help we get to the location, which is within a distant nation's capital. We're hoping to break her mother out of confinement. Security will probably be pretty tight...

Luckily, some of our members are quite capable of breaching security. I can definetly get some of them to help. Now, how many people do you need and what payment can we expect? The goblin procudes a notebook and a pen from somewhere.

I think one to two would be sufficient... as for price...
She names an amount that is reasonable for the circumstances.

One or two, you say. Should be easy enough. The price is acceptable. Let me just post the new job on the board and we can write up a formal contract. Dipsnig heads to the bulletin board and pins his sheet of paper there:

Two members needed to break a woman sentenced to death out of prison.

He didn't add the part about the sentence being unjust because it's not like NO would refuse to break out a rightfully sentenced person.

Reginald comes out of his room quickly to sign up for it.
"Excuse me, sir? How do I apply for this?"

Thank you.
She smiles, glancing at Lleth again.

Dipsnig peers at Reginald. By showing up and saying you want to do the job, which you just did. You're in, meaning we need one more member for the contract. He takes a seat by a nearby desk and proceeds to write up a contract, which he will then show to Carrie. It states in Legalese that two members of Neutralist Organization will aid Carrie and Lleth in freeing the latter's mother form her wrongful imprisonment for an agreed sum of money. Could you sign it, please?

Carrie signs in the appropriate place(s).

Carrion Grimm, Death Inaugurated, ThD.

The pen and the contract disappear somewhere on Dipsnig's person.
Thank you. Rounding up another member to come with you shouldn't take long. You can stay here and wait if you want, otherwise I'd like to ask for a way to contact you.

I can stay here, thanks.
She smiles and keeps sitting.

He looks at Dipsnig.
"Is there an armory around here? I need a hand-held tranquilizer and a bottle of chloroform. I assume that this will require stealth so I also need to know the world we're going to."

Dipsnig nods and turns to Reginald. We do have an armory. What you need should be there, otherwise you're authorized to withdraw some money from the treasury to buy it. As for where you're going, it's some distant kingdom. He shrugs. Our clients can give you the details, I assume.

"Alright, thank you, sir."
He looked at Carrie.
"Ma'am, I need your help to find proper clothing for the place we're going to. I also need the name of the place and any info about it you can provide. What I really need to know is if you're coming with us, ma'am."

I will be coming... my friend can tell you all you need to know, I think, once she undeadtimes. I'm not familiar with the world in question.

He wrote it down on his legal pad.
"Also, you're a goddess of death, right? Will I die if I touch you? And if I don't die if I touch you, may I have a hug? I need one every 3 hours or else my head explodes. I pissed off the wrong person, ma'am."

You won't die if you touch me, no.
And as for hugs, you came to the right person.
Smiling, Carrie moves forward to hug him! She's pretty darn good at it too.

A hug goes on! Reginald smiled a bit, he had long stopped liking hugs because he had to have them but he was actually enjoying this one. She was right, she is good at hugs!
"Thank you, ma'am. You're very good at hugs, ma'am."
He would continue to hug her until she stopped. If she was waiting for him to stop, then this would go on for a long while.....

She eventually lets go.
I have lots of practice.

"I can tell, ma'am."
He took out his watch briefly to check the time and then put it away.
"Do you have any appointments today, ma'am? I think it would be best to spend part of today preparing and then leave today since we only have 10 days. I hope your friend snaps out of this 'deadtime' thing. Can you answer some more of my questions, ma'am?"

I don't have anything to keep me away from this business. Not a whole lot of prepping to do, though, until Lleth undeadtimes...

As for questions, okay!

She nods.

"I need to know if anyone other than you is also coming along. Such as boyfriends, spouses, family members, friends, strangers, etc....."

Bianca steps out of a shadow behind the couch and reads the job board.

This looks like a job custom made for me. Though I guess I'll have to leave Tweetums behind. she frowns at this.

It'll just be myself, Lleth, you, and whoever else signs up.
The young death goddess notices Bianca by the board and smiles.

He writes more down.
"Alright, what are you good at?"

I'm only a minor goddess, but I'm pretty good in combat with a cane and some rather potent spells.

Bianca walks over to the winged woman and butler. Are you the ones hiring me?

Carrie looks up at her.
I am, my friend and I. She points over at a deadtimed young lady sitting next to her, hair blond and dress black.

Bianca looks at the Butler and frowns. Who's he then?

Carrie gestures to Reginald.
He's the other member who's taking this job.

"I'm just another member of NO who wishes to help a person in need for money, ma'am."
He turned back to the death goddess.
"So you couldn't, say, make corpses come to life to provide a distraction?"

She looks to answer the butler's question.
I could... normally I prefer to leave bodies to their rest, but in such circumstances, well...

Reginald extends his hand for Bianca to shake.
"I'm Regibald Fancybritches, ma'am. Half-nymph, raised to be a butler from birth."

Bianca looks down at the hand, then back up to Reginald. Bianca. she gives him a small smile. Fancybritches? Are you making that up?

He shook his head.
"No ma'am, they gave me the name when I came out of my test tube. It's also tattooed on the back of my neck"
He turned around and showed he his neck. There in black ink was:
'Reginald Fancybritches
Created: Feb. 22. 1990.
Expires: Feb. 22. 2100.'

Wow. You have a long life ahead of you, Reginald. She turns back to the clients. So, who are we saving?

My friend's mother. She's been convicted of crimes my evil predecessor committed.
She gestures to Lleth.

"Except I need a hug every 3 hours or else y head explodes and covers everyone around me. I pissed off the god of a religion back on my world. We're saving the client's friend's mom. She's been wrongfully imprisoned and will be killed in 7 days. We need to break her out. Bianca, I'm assigning you as my hug buddy, you need to give me a hug every 2 and a half hours."

Whoa whoa whoa!! Bianca says, backing quickly away from Reginald. You will have to either change your gender, or pay me big bucks to hug you ever two and a half hours during this mission. she pulls out a very sharp black dagger to emphasize her point. Only time I hug men is to stab them in the back.

"I don't see anything wrong in a genderbending spell, I can't be recognized so it would be a good idea. Know anyone who can do it?"

Carrie flinches.
Ach! Okay, let's all... not... stab.
Reginald, I can handle the hug duty. No genderbending is necessary...

Bianca was about to comment, but let's Carrie volunteer for hugging duties.

She dutifully puts the dagger away.

Awww, but with my nymph heritage I would have made a good looking girl
He sighed.
"Well, there goes one idea of female me seducing the guards to distract them.....could have worked too with my nymph heritage...."

We can, um, we can do that later, I'm sure. She scratches a wing nervously.

Yes, I'm sure you'd make a lovely girl. I guess we'll just have to leave the seducing to a born female.

"I'm not a cross-dresser, despite what you may think."

Lleth undeadtimes with Carrie, Reginald, and Bianca.

Carrie smiles.
Lleth, these are Reginald and Bianca. She gestures to the butler, then to Bianca.
They're gonna be helping us free your mom.

Lleth smiles at the two of them.
It's nice to meet you both. Thank you for offering your blades...

"It's nothing, really, I just know what it feels like to be imprisoned against your will so I want to do what I can. I need to know where we're going and need help choosing clothes for there....."

Cornelia wanders here, an empty .44 in one hand, still dressed in that EMT outfit. She looks at Reginald and the new clients a little awkwardly. "Um... here about a job?"

Reginald looks at Cornelia and he gives a small sigh. No one will be coupled with Reginald.
"Sorry, two members have already filled up the slots. I would love to have you with us, though."

I can help with that...
For clothes wear a light jacket, it's a bit cold, maybe a few degrees below zero....

Bianca smiles at Lleth, then to Reginald she says. Maybe I should get myself hired in as a guard. Once inside, I can sneak the three of you in easily enough. She turns to Carrie. Can you hide the wings?

"Good idea, I'll go grab my stuff."
He walked off to the armory and when he came back, he was a she!
Girl-Reginald stood and looked at them. She had a set of gold earrings on.
"How do I look?"
Her hair was long and at her shoulders. Her eyes were even more mesmerizing and people would be drawn to them. She did indeed have an irresistible charm. Go being a Half-Nymph!

Better than you did a moment ago. she turns back toward the clients. Can you tell me where this prison is. I need to do some research before my interview. Need to know what sort of people they hire.

Lleth speaks up.
My mother is being held in the royal prison- under the emperor's palace in the city of Retyisa...

And do you happen to know what kind of people they hire? Leather-Queen's with a penchant for hurting their inmates? Kindly matrons who only harm when absolutely necessary? Or somewhere between?

They.... I think they just use the royal guard to monitor the prison... And the royal guard is made up of members of the military.

Reginald has been playing with her hair this entire time in a hand mirror.
"I should clone myself and marry the clone......" she said absentmindedly.

Well that makes it a little more difficult. Come on Regina, let's go scout this place out. Bianca reaches for Reginald's arm and will attempt to yank her toward the door.

[Main Room -> Outside NO]
Reginaald is yanked!
"Weeeeee...."
Once they're outside the door, she looks up at Bianca.
"Where're we going? I wanted to pose in front of a mirror....."

[Main Room]

Lleth stands as they're heading out.
Shouldn't we come?

To Lleth and Carrie, Bianca says: Meet us there. You don't want to be seen with her or I until we break your mother out. she hikes a thumb at Regina.

{Outside of NO}

That brings Bianca up short. She turns to Regina and glares down at her. Don't act too much like a girly girl. That could get you killed on this mission.

She then continues down the road. We are going to the city of Retyisa, of course. Regina, how do you feel about being assaulted?

"I wasn't being a girly girl, I wanted to check out my body......and it depends on the assault. If it's sexual it'll be creepy but I would be able to beat them in hand-to-hand combat. I'm a master of it....."

[Main Room]
Carrie nods to Bianca.
Understood.
She reaches to pat Lleth's shoulder with a smile.

Lleth smiles.
Thank you.

Guess we better give those two a bit of a head start before we go, huh?

[Outside of NO]

I'll be the one assaulting you, and you won't be beating me, nor defending yourself too well. Since I can't be a guard, I'll be a prisoner.

"Just be gentle, I want to take naked pictures of this body...."
She then covered her mouth.
"Did I just say that out loud?"

[Main Room]
Yeah... What will we do to pass the time?

{On the road}
Bianca is regretting taking this mission. She begins praying to a god, any god, to please, end her suffering now.

No, restraint. I must not kill the evil creature beside me. I must not kill the evil creature beside me. She looks ahead, continuing to chant this mantra in her head over and over.

"Can you at least let me up? You're wearing away my suit by dragging me and it's my favorite."

[Main]
Uh... I'm not sure, sorry... let's head back to HALO for now.

Okay, let's go.
Lleth stands.

Carrie stands, and will go with Lleth out to open a portal back to HALO.

[On the Road]

Bianca stops and once again looks down at her "partner". She lets go of Regina's hand. This is so much easier with Tweetums. she mutters to herself, as she continues on to a thread that hasn't been provded yet.

"Who's Tweetums?" asked Reginald continued next to her.

He's my usual partner. If you're a good boy, I'll introduce you to him later. If you survive, that is.

"I thought you didn't like men."

Bianca smiles back. He's special.

"Like special to you because he's great, or special in the intellegence sense?"

Because he's awesome. I've never had a partner like him before. The only thing keeping him from perfection is that he's male. Well, this is certainly making Bianca happy. She's.... smiling.

"So you'd date him if he was a girl?"

Nooooa. I don't date. Aww. The smile went away.

"Why not? It leads to Curtains and Curtains are fun."

Bianca continues on, saying no more on the subject.

Regina is a bit annoyed by this. It was probably because she also lost the Trouser Titan today. She pressed on, eventually speaking.
"Do you think I'm attractive enough as a female?"

Bianca sighs and walks faster. Yes.

"Enough that no one will recognize me? I need to be seducing attractive, do you think I could seduce a guard? Also, what's our plan for after you beat me up?"

To get tossed into prison, of course. Once there, I can bring the rest of you in.

"Alright. Tell me more about this 'Tweetums' fellow then. I know all I need to and I'd like to know more about your friend, if that's okay...."

No.

[Retyisa- Outskirts]

Bianca and Regina will eventually arrive here, outside of the grand city. The area immediately outside of the city is made up of several miles of farmland and past that is a deep deciduous forest.
The city is huge, it's massive massive walls shoot out of the ground well above the heads of even the talles giants and dragons. The wall stretches on almost farther than the eye can see, it's truly huge, bigger than any American or European city. One cobbled road leads to a grand iron gate that seems to be the only way into the city.

Once they are close enough to see this monstrocity, Bianca will move off the road and behind some trees. Come on. she hisses at Regina.

"Alright, jeez. What will we fight about? How about over a cheating boyfriend? Sounds believable."

Well, I was thinking about just mugging you. But I guess I could try to kill you for stealing my love away. Bianca says, her eyes are cold.

From here on though, until the fight, we should not be seen together. Give me some time to go on ahead, and then follow, okay?

Regina hugged Bianca.
"Okay, also, I needed to hug someone. Head exploding is not fun."

Bianca is hugged, but only for a moment, and then she disappears into the shadow of the tree. I mean literally disappears down into the shadow, slipping out of the hug.

She steps out of one of the other shadows, dagger pointing at Regina. Give.... me... warning!

She closes her eyes and takes some deep breathes. I would prefer not to kill you. Dipsnig wouldn't like that.

Several merchants and travellers are slipping into the city gates, it should be easy to get in... except for the fact that there are customs guards inspecting all who enter.

"Sorry, only had a few seconds left."

Fine. And how do you know? You have some kind of internal clock going or something?

Nevermind. There will likely be guards at the gates, checking for weapons and contraband. You can either take your chances with them, or trust me to get them through for you. She intentionally puts her black dagger away, in a shadow pocket that should not exist.

"Hide them for me. We can both go in at the same time and then you go one way and I'll meet you there later."
Regina hands her all of her stuff.
"Also, it beeps louder and faster the closer I get to running out of time."

Bianca takes the weapons, and places them carefully in her shadow pocket.

If we go in together, they may find out from someone who noticed us together. We seperate here, there is less chance of that. Just wander in the streets once inside, I'll find you.

And with that, Bianca leaves.

{Retyisa Gate}

Bianca walks calmly toward the gate. There's nothing on her, but clothes. So she has nothing to worry about.

A guard will stop her.
Hello there, how are you?
He smiles at her.

Bianca smiles back. I'm good. And yourself?

It's a busy day today.
Can I see your papers, please?

Regina watched from the hill as people went into the city. She watched Bianca.

Bianca looks stunned. Papers? Nobody said anything about needing papers. Who do I need to see to aqcuire some?

Your village elder.
You need your passports, and you visas...
Are you sure you don't have any?
He calls another guard over...

I'm pretty sure I don't even have an village to have an elder of. she looks at the second guard warily, a little fear playing in her eyes. Whyyyy do you need him? I haven't done anything wrong, have I?

[/B]Not at all ma'am.
One second.
The begin to talk privately,but she should be able to hear them.
What do we do, sir?Just take her inside, the people there will have her fill out forms and send her on her way.
Yes sir.
The second guard leaves, the first turns to her.
Ma'am. I need you to come with me to fill out some paperwork.
You can read and write, yeah?

Yes, sir, I can. Bianca follows the guard inside.

[Retyisa Office]
Bianca will be brought to a small waiting room, three people stand behind a counter and are handling travelers.
The guard smiles and offers her some forms.
Fill these out and take them to the desk when you're ready.

Bianca fills out the papers, using a false identity: Vidalia Lanion. She walks them over to the desk. So many questions. I was beginning to wonder if I'd get done with them by the end of the day. She smiles at the officer behind the desk.

There's a older woman behind the counter. she smiles wearily at Bianca.
Yes, I'll get this filed for you quickly, Vidalia.
She steps back, and soon returns with another set of papers.
Just show these to the guard on your way out.

Thank you, ma'am. Bianca takes the papers and looks them over as she heads for the door.

She wants to be sure nothing on them says "capture the lying girl" before showing them to the guard.

If not, she'll leave, show the papers, then walk further into town. At some point, she'll turn down an alleyway, find a shadow, and try to slip into it.

[Outskirts -> Retyisa Gates]
As Regina watched Bianca be lead away she went down to the gates herself. She walked up to one of the guards, one of the MALE guards that looked the most perverted.
"Hello sir, my master sent me down here to check on one of his shops. May I come through?" while saying this she laid on her half-nymph charms and looked at him with her mesmerizing eyes.

[Retyisa Gate]
The guard stares a bit.
S-sure...
Can I have your papers, please?

"Yes, of course sir!"
She reached into the inside pocket of her suit and felt around. She withdrew her hand and she had tears in her eyes.
"I-I seem to have lost them......my master will be ever so cross with me if I go back to get new ones and I haven't checked on his store....." she said, sounding sad and looked about to cry.

The guard frowns.
Well... uh...
He quickly looks around...
Everything checks out, head right on through.

Regina gets a smile on her face. She wipes away the tear from her eye with her white gloved hand.
"T-thank you! You're a kind person who I hope to meet again."
She bows and goes into the city, she looked especially for an alley near the Retyisa Office that Bianca went into.

The guard smiles as she walks off.
An alley can easily be found.

Regina waits until Bianca comes out. When she does, she waited for her to get past her and then she followed a good bit behind her. When Bianca finally turned down into an alley, so would Regina! Once they were far enough in the alley that the shadows covered them she would lightly tap Bianca's shoulder.
"What's our next move?" she asked in a quiet voice while also pulling out a piece of paper and began to point to things on it as if she was asking for directions.

{Retyisa Alleyway}
Bianca had noticed at the last moment Regina following, and so hadn't slipped into the Shadow-realm as planned. Instead, she waited for Regina to approach.

Find our clients, Lleth and Carrie. We need to know where we can find them, once I get inside. And here. Bianca pulls out of her shadow bag Regina's weaponry.

Once you find them, I'll step out of your shadow and join you. We'll discuss further plans then. And this time, Bianca steps into Regina's shadow, and disappears into it.

Regina took her equipment and hid it on herself in her suit's various pockets.
"Got it. And be careful."
She then put away the paper and left the alleyway. She then looked for a place where she could make a call to HALO.

A functioning phone booth could easily be found on a street corner. It smells like urine, but it works.

Regina wishes she brought a tissue. She picked up the phone and made a call to HALO.

[HALO]

A phone begins to ring....

Trevor quickly answers the phone.
"Uh.... Hello?
This is HALO base..."

Regina is on the other line!
"Yes, I need to talk to someone named Lleth I believe? She might be with a minor goddess of death."

Trevor doesn't notice Luro approaching.
"Uh...
I think I might know the death goddess, named Carrie, right?
No idea who this Lleth is...
Want me to give Carrie a message?"

"Yes. Tell her that NO is in position and we require her assistance to continue further."

"Okay, I'll tell he-"
Then he's jumped on, he drops the phone with a yelp, trying to twist so that his "assailant" falls off.

((Eventually, I presume the message is given, after too many curtains. ))

Retyisa Alley
Regina hung up the phone and went down another alley. Once safely out of view she whispered:
"Bianca, I need another hug."

Bianca steps back out. So, are they in the city, or not? She'll hug Regina, stiffly, and for as short a time as possible. That good enough?

"They're on their way and should be here soon."
She observed her weak hug.
"The rules are:
1. The hug must be preformed by both people.
2. The hug cannot be a stiff and/or awkward hug.
3. The hug must last 5 seconds."
She opened her arms for a proper hug.

Bianca frowns. You're making that up. She hugs the creature, just to be sure. Holding it exactly 5 seconds, while pretending she's embracing someone she cares about. After pulling away, she says. That last hug you surprised mer with was certainly awkward for me.

Regina's hugs are mostly good, but she doesn't really enjoy hugs much anymore. When the hug is over she speaks.
"Well the bomb didn't pick up on the awkwardness you felt. The person who put it in doesn't come and give it a tune up every week."

[Retyisa Outskirts]

Carrie and Lleth will be approaching the massive city on the one road.

Carrie fiddles nervously with her ebony cane before deciding to go a bit more low-profile.

Her wings disappear; her hair goes black and is put up in the back like it used to be; her eyes go dirty orange; the ebony cane morphs into a battered walking stick as she puts on a limp to go with it.

Lleth pills out two manilla folders.
We need these to get in.

Carrie takes one.
Okay...

She morphs her clothes to her old battered black jeans and dark tank top, adding touches of dirt around her eyes.

She looks like the battered wreck she used to be.

[Retyisa Gate]

Lleth smiles and will head for the gate! A guard stops them.
Papers.

Carrie limps up with her papers.

They'll check the papers then wave them through into the city.

She limps on through.

[Retyisa]

Lleth walks forward as well.
She seems to stick out a bit among the peasants....So... Where should we look for them?

... Oh crap, I'm not sure... wasn't one of them supposed to get arrested?

I think that that's what they said was going to happen... There are a lot of prison stations around here, though...

... Oh. Um... oh.
Well...
She frowns.

We could ask an officer if he's seen them...

She nods, coughing.

[Retyisa Alley]

In a one in a million chance, Regina actually saw them. Putting on a fake smile that looked plenty real, she walked up to Carrie and bowed.
"Hello Master! I was just about to check on your items. Shall you follow me?"
She pointed towards an alley where they won't be seen.

Lleth will nod and wait for Regina to lead.

Regina looks like the exact definition of chipper as she leads them down the alley.

Before they actually enter the alley, Bianca leaps out at Regina, a wicked blade in hand. You hussie!! I'll teach you! Her attack is swift, and should be accurate. She'll try to slice Regina's throat, but only enough to get blood, not to kill.

Whether the attack is successful or not, Bianca's momentum will likely take her into a tackle with Regina, where she'll drop the blade and attempt to pummel Regina's face, until pulled off.

Carrie steps quickly to the side. Or as quickly as a girl faking a limp can.
Ouch...

"She loves me you Harlot!"
Blood does come from Regina's neck as she falls to the ground. It's just a tiny nick though. When on the ground she rolls and gets on top of Bianca. She then seems like she punches her hard, but due to her extreme mastery of her fists, Bianca will just feel a light tap on her cheek.
"Guards! Guards! Help!" she yelled.

How could anyone love a loathsome creature as you!!Bianca screams as she "takes" the hit. She rolls toward the fallen blade and stands back up. She'll attempt to stab Regina in the leg, then follow up with a left hook to the face. Don't dodge everything. she says through gritted teeth when close enough.

Regina gets stabbed in the leg and punched in the face. She falls backwards onto the ground. She screams.
"YOU STABBED ME IN THE LEG YOU WENCH!"

Gurads rush in trying to grab Bianca and Regina.
Stop! Break it up!

"I NEED A GOD DANG DOCTOR!" cried Regina while holding onto her bleeding leg.

Bianca tries to break away from her guard, tossing her blade viciously, but inaccurately at Regina. If it hits at all, it should be with the handle, not the blade. I'll kill you, you... you.... Bianca glares hatefully at Regina.

Regina is crying at this point. She is playing the girl who got stabbed role very well.
The knife lands next to Regina's side.
"Blood....everywhere......"
Regina is losing blood.

Carrie screams, limping back and stumbling in horror and fear and horror and acting lessons.

[Quinsar]

The guards scowl, trying to hold them apart still.
Explain what's happening now! Before we have to arrest you both!

[Mindfreak]

"She's mad because master loves me more! So then she tried to cut my throat and stabbed me in the leg!"
She showed them the nick she had on her neck from the knife and the blood pouring from her leg.

[Beans]

Carrie continues to play her part, struggling to stand and shaking in fear.

[Lex-Kat]

Bianca, for her part, will try to slip out of the grip of the guard holding her and resume her attack on Regina. Liar!! You stole her love from me!! You... you cast a spell or something!

But she'll not move too quickly, so even if she does escape, the guards should be able to easily recapture her, and restrain her better. They'll have to be rough, as she struggles even harder.

[Quinsar]

Bianca will most likely be tackled.
Alright, crazy one, you're under arrest.
Stabbed one, will you come in for questioning?

[Lex-Kat]

Bianca continues to struggle against him, making herself as big a pain as she can.

If the option presents itself, she'll even try to bite him, hard.

[Mindfreak]

"I think I would like a doctor first please officer......."
There was blood literally everywhere now!

[Beans]

Carrie stumbles forward, trying to tear a piece from one of Regina's garments to use as a makeshift bandage.

[Mindfreak]

Regina allows her to tear off a part of her undershirt. Not allowing her to use the suit.
"Thank you." she said, extending her leg towards Carrie.

[Lex-Kat]

And Bianca is likely carried away to prison.

[Quinsar]

The guards will allow her to, and drag Bianca off, probably knocking her out if she continues to struggle. One guard is left with Regina.
We have medics to look at that more closely when we get back to the guard's house.

[Mindfreak]

Regina tries to get up but promptly falls down. Some of her walking muscles weren't working properly. She looks up at the guard. "Could you please carry me?" she asked while putting on a cute face.

[Quinsar]

The guard grins,and nods, going to lift her in arms.
It's an honor to help someone as beautiful as you.

[Lex-Kat]

Oooh. Bianca loves being treated roughly.

She'll be dragged off unconscious.

[Mindfreak]

Regina giggles.
...
That was strange. The hormones were getting to Reginald's mind!
Regina is lifted and she smiled.
"Thank you, sir. I'm sorry you couldn't have seen me at a better time when my suit and gloves weren't all scuffed up, sir."
Her favorite suit to butler in was all dirty, as were her white gloves.
"Am I going to have to show you my papers?"

[Quinsar]

Why do you ask? Do you have them on you?
Cuz ifyou don't I think we can skip that step.




Bianca will wake a while later, chained to the wall.

[Beans]

Carrie is with Lleth still.

[Mindfreak]

She shook her head.
"No sir they were kinda sorta stolen........"
She looked a bit nervous about it.

[Quinsar]

Lleth smiles a bit.
It worked?




Huh! That's awful. Don't worry, no way a pretty little thing like you could be lying. Was it that other woman? The one that hurt you? I'll make sure it's added to her charges.

[Beans]

Carrie nods with a smile.

[Mindfreak]

Regina smiles.
"You, sir, are a saint."
She continues to smile.
"Could you perhaps get her thrown into the Royal Prison, sir? I want her to learn her lesson....."

[Quinsar]

I... I'll see what I can do.



What now?

[Mindfreak]

She smiled and tried to put her arm around the guard's neck so that it was resting on his shoulders.
"Thank you, sir. I don't know how I can repay you for this, sir."

[Beans]

Find somewhere near the jail to wait.

[Lex-Kat]

Bianca will wake a while later, chained to the wall.

((How odd that you finally get on to play, the night I go home early, and don't get on until the next morning. ))

Bianca wakes up slowly and looks around. She moans just loud enough that if there's a guard around, she'll be heard.

[Quinsar]

There's a guard just outside her door, female, she seems young, and judging by the rank on her shoulder, new. All she has is a police baton as a weapon.
You're up?



Lleth nods and will lead her towards the palace.




You don't have to repay me.

[Mindfreak]

"Okay."
Regina will try to hold on tight to the guard while he brings her to wherever.

[Beans]

Carrie limps along behind her.

[Lex-Kat]

{Prison}

There's a guard just outside her door, female, she seems young, and judging by the rank on her shoulder, new. All she has is a police baton as a weapon.
You're up?

Bianca looks at the chains holding her up against the wall. It would appear I've been "up" since I got here. She looks back to the guard. May I be allowed down? she asks, trying to sound harmless and polite.
