Companions' Journey (Fantasy RP) (Closed/Dead)

[Blasphemous Rex]

Spoiler: OOC

We've been reading Romeo & Juliet in school recently so if my dialog seems a bit... archaic, that's why. I swear I wasn't trying to write it Shakespearean Style, but it turned out that way.

"Ach! Why must I stay in the house during a festival!" Prudence paced around her room, upright and with perfect posture. "Humpf. I've already read over half of our library, and still they think me unlearned and unready! It's not as if I haven't survived on my own." Sue, sitting on the windowsill, cocked her head at Prudence. Pru noticed, and thought up another way to escape. She hurried over and started to whisper to her friend.

"Alright, Sue, we're sneaking out, again. They'll have the servant at my door this time, but I think I can make it out the window." The young cardinal chirped at her. "I know it's on the second story, but I think I can do this. Please!" Sue turned her head as if to ignore her. "Oh you jerk!" Pru hurried over to her bed and pulled out her street clothes. She took off the dress, the brassiere, and all the other junk she had to wear. Tugging the slightly over sized outfit on, she grabbed her fine rapier and scooted over to the balcony.

"So you're just gonna let me do this without any help?" Sue gave a single chirp. "Fine then, I won't buy you your biscuit." Pru knew this would convince her companion. The bird chirped a few more times, then flew down and surveyed the grounds. Pru watched through her and concluded that the garden was empty. She threw her legs over the railing one at a time, and when she was about to drop there was a yelling at the door.

"Prudence," the loud voice said. "Please open the door, your father needs to talk to you!" Frightened, she accidentally let go. Pru fell down into a topiary bush below, completely ruining it.

"Sue! Go and watch my father while I escape! Distract him long enough for me to climb the wall!" The cardinal chirped with distaste, but, of course, obliged. Prudence hurried through the garden, killing many of the prized flowers.

"Prudence! Open this door, servant, I must see my daughter!" There was a clanking at the door and then it swung open. With a quick glance, Lord Shea knew her daughter had left. "You're fired," he barked at the small man who was supposed to be guarding the girl. "PRUDENCE! IF YOU DON"T GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT I SHALL DISOWN YOU!" His face was cherry red with anger. But then he noticed Pru's companion.

"You, bird. Show me where my daughter may be and I promise I won't ring your little neck myself!" Sue chirped a rude slur. Lord Shea assumed it was a yes. "Well? Show me or will I have to have Bishop have to pin you to the ground!" Sue chirped again, but flew out this time. The large owl Bishop followed. The little bird yelled as best a little bird could at Prudence climbing over the wall.

"What is it," she asked, but then she noticed the owl. With a sudden rush of adrenalin, the girl hauled herself over to outside the grounds and ran with Sue into the crowds. Several passersby noticed her and realized she was of the Shea line, and they all got out of her way. "No, no! Get Bishop off my trail," she asked pleadingly to the people. None of them wanted to gt in the way of that owl, though.

Seeing there was no hope, Prudence rounded a corner into an alley and waited with her weapon drawn. "I do not wish to hurt you, Bishop, but I must have my own life to live." When the owl rounded the corner, she delivered a gash to its wing. Kneeling only to apologize, the girl without a home anymore bolted into the streets.

After waiting for a while, Lev concluded that the serving girl, wherever she was at the moment, hadn't heard him. He stood up from his seat and went over to the counter of the bar, ordering his drinks anew, and slightly glancing at the suspicious woman with the cobra around her neck, wondering how she managed to wear an outfit like that without succumbing to the heat, as well as to why she wore a hood over her head inside a tavern during the festivities.

Shortly thereafter his drinks arrived, and he walked over to his table again, and the unknown stranger who Tatiana seemed to ponder if he was sitting to close to her or not, narrowing her eyes at him as she decided. "Don't. We don't need any trouble." The doctor said to her as he put down the bowl in front of her, before sitting down in his own seat again. Tatiana looked up at Lev with an annoyed look on her face, her tail moving back and forth as well, but seemingly decided to let it slide in exchange for the water.

 

[Pandalisk]

Victorya awoke to the deafing sounds of laughter, Hysteric shouts and Music that greeted her. she groaned as she turned over her side, rays of light streaking across the room through the small cracks in the Inns wooden walls.

She got up sluggishly,Mumbling incoherent curses at the general public of Gemmal. she had arrived in the Capital yesterday evenning from her small village in the North, a exhausting journey, but no rest was to be had today.

She put on her garments slowly, concentrating on getting her legs through her undergarments while her brain slowly began to wake up from its small nap, once she had placed her clothes upon herself she lookd at the foot of her straw stuffed mattress, there Lay the sleeping Ursa, His large frame bobbing up and down with his deep snores as he slept.

Viktorya called for Ursa to wake but the Bear refused to return to the reality, she began to tap its back with her toe, it had no effect on the slumbering beast as she slowly increased the strength of her taps. What was a tap had become a kick as the slumbering beast awoke with a loud sleepy yawn and slowly processed what was happening and rose from the ground. Victorya blew her hair out of her face as the Polar Bear returned her previous kicks with a Roar and a light nudge from one of his paws.

"Get off me you silly Bear, I wouldn't have to kick you if you'd just wake up!"

The sleepy bear just looked at her, perhaps puzzled

"Well Firsts things first, a bite to eat and then were off to see the City Smithy, okay Ursa?"

The bears Puzzled look did not change

She walked to her door and Unlocked it "Come on Ursa!" she cried, walking out the door

The bears expression change, he knew what that meant! and began to comply with Viktorya's command, shuffling his huge weight through the narrow door, carefully climbing down the wooden stair case that Creaked horrifically as the Inn keepers face Lit up with worry for his stairs and relief once the massive Bear had left the Inn with his Companion

Viktorya looked into the Sky searching for the Sun, from what she could tell it after 3 probably, and she moved with the bear into the deep crowds, the bear using his bulk to force a passage through to the otherside and the Tavern.

Viktorya paused as she half entered the Tavern.."is there even space for Ursa?" she thought.

"Stay Ursa" she told the bear as the command Clicked inside the bears head, "Stay"..He knew what that meant too! as he sat outside the doors, watching as patrons walked in and out the doors and the throngs of people in the streets.

Viktorya meanwhile went inside the tavern and stayed by the enterance, trying to summon someone in charge with Hang signals and Sporadic Waving.

 

[Baldrek]

Lev looked over to the door and the newly arrived patron trying her best to establish contact with the staff, "Good luck with that. The keeper's busy with some important looking guests over there, and the serving girl's busy somewhere else at the moment." He told her before sipping his ale, sitting at a table no more than 2 meters from her. "Besides, you look like a fool, waving your hands around like that while blocking the doorway."

Tatiana, on her hand, looked at her with unblinking eyes, her tail moving side to side as Lev talked to her, before drinking some more water from her bowl.

 

[Pandalisk]

Viktorya was taken aback by the sudden input of the other Patron and after surveying the Bar and seeing how busy everyone was decided that the drinker was infact correct despite his rudness, no matter.

She blew her hair out of her face in annoyance before Spinning on her heels and going out the way she came.

Outside the bar she spied Ursa watching the people pass, This wasn't the first time they had left their sleepy village for the city, the bear always watched the crowds with such facination, she clapped her hands to gain the bears attention.

"Come on Ursa, Lets get a drink!"

The bear pulled itself off the ground and followed its Companion through the doors and into the Dark pub full of people, his large body filling up more of Taverns already Cramped space.

Viktorya sat down at the opposite end of the table the Patron who had spoken to her before was using as Ursa once again sat himself down again beside her, The bear becoming distracted by the Inchoherent talking of many people talking at once to each other.

"You dont mind? all the other Tables are taken"

 

[RBMidknight]

Kadence smiled as she watched two small children playing while their middle-aged mother talked animatedly with a handsome young man. The crowds were starting to disperse into the inns and taverns. But there were still plenty of exuberant people in small groups who seemed determined to celebrate until nightfall. Garret brushed past her leg and Kadence looked down to watch her Companion.

Effortlessly he weaved around people and children and sat down on the edge of the street. His amused human partner took longer than he had to maneuver out of the crowd, but after a few moments Kadence was standing beside her Companion.

"So, what now?" She asked him with a grin. Her ever-silent partner just looked at her. Then he panted a few times.

"Ah." She had forgotten. "Yes, let's get you some water. Shall we?" Kadence turned in the direction of the closet Inn and started to walk toward it. She'd only gone a few steps when someone collided into her from the side. Kadence stumbled briefly and then regained her balance. She instinctively spun to face the newcomer and Garret moved into position on her left side.

Kadence looked up into a slightly familiar face framed by light blond hair. A girl then. She got a flash of warning from Garret and looked down to see a sword that glinted in the sunlight. A girl with a sword.

Interesting...

If i dont post fast or at all its because my Wireless Modem intenet connection for the past couple days has decided to become impossibly slow, i dont know whats wrong with it, it used to stupidly fast, Sorry if that inconviences anyone

 

[Blasphemous Rex]

"Ah!" Prudence spun to the ground. Sue, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by no longer having shoulder to stand on. She rather seamlessly went from standing to flying.

"I'm so sorry," Pru told the other girl. "I, I was running away from..." Should I tell her it's my dad? Probably not a good idea to tell her who I am. "uh, from a thief. A, a bandit, I guess. He wanted, uh, my sword. It's a family heirloom, see?" Pru slowly rose from the dust, dirtier than when she had fallen. She unhooked the sheath from her belt and held it in a position that Kadence could see. She was hoping it would convince the girl.

 

[Baldrek]

Lev watched her turn on her heels and leave the tavern, all for the better he supposed, it was already cramped enough in here.

Or, he had thought it cramped, at least. Because mere moments later the woman returned with what was probably the largest polar bear he had ever seen, he was sure that it had to be at least a good third larger than average. How she'd even managed to get that through the door amazed him, actually. And obviously some of the other patrons as well, as some had begun shoving tables to the side and the like to make room for his massive form.

Lev sighed, "Not really a problem... But, you know... I probably don't need to say this, but... Your 'friend' seems to be blocking people's path." He finished his sentence by drinking deeply from his ale and looking down at Tatiana as he felt her tail slam repeatedly against his leg, clearly showing her annoyance with the new guest. Oh well, being a siberian tiger generally made her dislike bears, so he sort of understood her.

 

[BloodyThoughts]

Sam took a few drinks from the water the tavern girl got him. He kept thinking about her. Did he really know her? Does he just not know? He was trying to forget, but it was hard. Sam then put the mug up to Echo's face so that he could take a drink. After he did, he jumped off of Sam's shoulder, flew to the table and started preening. This was especially odd, for things weren't really the calm. Apparently he had thought it was. Sam smiled.

Being in this city, again it was just so odd for Sam. He left his home about 9 years ago to escape city life for he thought it was not fun. Not only that, but his parents weren't the kindest people in the world and that was another thing he hated about towns, there are always idiots. Sam sighed, as he took the last few sips left in the mug. Sam looked around, "Hm, seems like everyone is drinking ale..." Sam muttered to himself. "Come to think of it, I have never had ale in my life...if only I had some money." Sam then looked down at Echo, he was still preening. Though, his feathers have always seemed cleaned and groomed before. He must have seen some dirt blotches or something.

Oh yes, Sam was still adjusting to the noise of other humans. It was very unsettling, and Sam tried his best to ignore it. Im starting to wish I was back in the woods again...

 

[Pandalisk]

Viktorya simply waved the mans observation off

"You think it matters? No one else is getting in here anyway, You'd think there'd be laws against this many people in a single place, pretty busy isn't it? You local?"

She began to scratch Ursa's ear as patrons gave passed the bear, giving it a wide berth. The bear began to yawn again, his black eyes giving away nothing of what it was feeling or thinking, if anything it just looked bored.

 

[Lambi]

Zestia didn't pay much attention to the other people, until Shade hissed at the front door. Zestia turned around, only to face a big bear.
"Holy-!" she said, almost falling off of her chair. She managed to grab the table and Shade was still on her shoulders. Though he was starting to get a bit heavy after all the time he had been on her shoulders.
"You're getting a bit heavy. Could you move to the floor?" Zestia asked Shade.
Shade tickled her cheek with his tongue, then did as she asked him. He just looked at the bear, ready to attack if Zestia said the word.
"No, Shade. We will not attract unnecessary attention to ourselves." she said.
Shade lied down on the floor, careful to not be in people's way, more because he didn't like getting stepped on.

 

[RBMidknight]

Kadence leaned forward to look at the sword and felt Garret relax beside of her. It was a very well crafted weapon.

"It's a very nice sword." She admitted. Then she shook her head, "I'm sorry, where are my manners. I'm Kadence, and this is Garret." She gestured down to her partner, who tilted his head slightly while keeping his gaze on the girl.

"Do you know what this thief looked like?" Kadence continued, keeping an eye on the people nearby in case anyone acted suspicious. "I know some of the guards here, or maybe I could help?" She smiled at the girl, trying to look friendly. Kadence still couldn't place her, familiar though the girl was. Kadence figured that she could at least offer to help. Perhaps she would remember where she had seen the girl later.

 

[Baldrek]

"It's due to a celebration, I've heard. The lord having reigned for 25 years, or something like that. You'd think you'd pick that up by all the singing, dancing, the dressed up guards, and the banners and posters."
He paused to drink from his mug again, "And no. I'm from up north, hence Tatiana."
The tiger looked up at the mention of her name, but seeing Viktorya, merely growled at her, and bared her teeth. Quickly getting swatted on top of her head by Lev, "Behave." He told her as she growled in an annoyed manner, her tail moving more furiously than before.

 

[Blights]

Nathan reached the city gates, the gate left open, but no guards could be seen bar someone out on watch, he stared at Nathan and Styru as they passed. The city was fairly big, the Inn could be seen from here at the other end of the street, the place was full of people cheering and celebrating Styru slid down from Nathan's back, he could walk a bit, but with a limp. They reached the Inn. Styru lay down inside.An Innkeeper stood behind a counter. "Hey, what happe-" He shook his head as Nathan glared at him. "Sorry. Luckily, one of my customers just left, you can use their room, I haven't cleaned it yet, so you can wait or go in now." Nathan instantly Nodded. "I'd like to go in now, please." The innkeeper handed him a key. "Third door on the left once you get to the top of the stairs.

Nathan started to go up the stairs, Styru behind him. Nathan could feel him getting weaker, the stairs creaked every step they took. They got to the room, it was a small, dusty room. The bed was un-made and there was white hair all over it. Nathan sighed. Styru instantly got onto it and lay down. Nathan went over and took off the bandage from Styru's neck, the wound had stopped bleeding but was cut fairly deep, he took herbs out of his satchel and fed them to Styru. That was all he could to for now.

Pain... Hurt... Help...

Images flashed in Nathan's mind, a searing pain could be felt throughout his body, he climbed onto the bed next to Styru. He kept fighting to stay awake but it ended in vain, they both collapsed into a slumber while a party raged on outside.

 

[Blasphemous Rex]

"uh, no, I didn't see him too well. Uh, it-it's fine, though. I still have it, so I think I'll be fine. Um, I'm... I'm Pru. This is Sue." She stuck out her pointer finger and the bird sat on it. "I was on my way to a friend's house, so... You-you can come if you want. I'm sure he'll be fine with it."

 

[BigStupidJellyfish]

"Woah, Sta, calm down" remarked Tarm quite loudly, the wolf had launched himself up onto his lap, knocking a table over. Tarm looked around for what had scared him, he spotted a rather large bear.

"Oh dear" he grumbled.

 

[RBMidknight]

"Nice to meet you both." Kadence said, then frowned. The girl still seemed spooked about something. Kadence shrugged and quickly decided she might as well go along just to make sure the girl...Pru...didn't fall prey to another thief. Besides its not like I had other plans for today. This may prove interesting. "If you are sure your friend won't mind us being there, and also having Garret use one of his dishes for water."

The wolf in question, hearing the word water, sent Kadence a wave of happiness. Kadence smiled and reached out to scratch her partner's ears, laughing a bit as he tilted his head toward her. She looked back at the girl.

"So, Pru. If you lead the way we will follow."

 

[Blasphemous Rex]

"Um, alright." Dammit, she thought. I was hoping they have plans. I sure hope Durkon doesn't mind. Pru checked behind to make sure no one was following her, although the crowds would have made it impossible to tell, anyway. "Sue, make sure there isn't anyone behind us," she whispered. The bird nodded and flew off and started scouring the streets. After another quick glance, the girls started down the street. They left the rich district, and passed into the market. A small, private blacksmith was hidden near the poor end, and Prudence rapped on the door.

"Hey, Durkon? I need a place to stay." She was ashamed as she said it. The door swung open, and an average to short man was in the frame. He had black and thick chest hair, but none on his head.

He spoke in a gruff voice. "What happened to-- Well who is this?"

"Can I just come in please? I'll tell you later." Pru was hopping from worriedly foot to foot.

"Of course." He stepped out of the door to let the girls pass.

 

[Pandalisk]

Viktorya noticed the man drink and the aching thirst she had returned.

"Indeed, 25 years and everything hasn't gone completely to Choas? Well played Lord Kaidon, well played"

She looked at the Tiger that had begun to growl and bar her teeth at her

"Nice tiger, she's beautiful, im from the North as well and Ursa? He's from as North as you can possibly get"

The bear was far to busy watching the Grey Wolf at one of the other tables with curious eyes to hear his name being called he watched for a while before yawning as his attention switched to that of a Cobra and then to his ear which he noticed wasn't being scratched, He corrected that by lifting muzzle and nudging Viktorya's arm before lying upon the ground once more once the scratching resumed.
