   Here comes the Duke Vikena! Ooh, and there... goes... the Duke Vikena. Oh dear. That really was her best in here, wasn't it? Something seemed to have gotten under his collar, but she had little to tell her what. Stratya didn't want to disturb the man while he was already bothered. Surely, she'd see him again, and it wasn't as though her business was pressing.
   It felt like she'd missed her chance. She really was not dressed for beach going, either, was she? Wily feet, to bring her here while she wasn't paying attention. She'd never hear the end of it if she got a bunch of sand in her armor, either. She made a short patrol, to see how the ensemble felt to really move around in, before returning to the barracks.


[color=peru]Time:[/color] Morning -> Day
[color=peru]Location:[/color] Around

    She could see why things had started to transpire at this particular time. With as many events as were being held, there were so many [I]opportunities[/I]. The chaos would make it harder to see things amiss. With so many guests, a new face was not strange. With so much unusual to be expected, that made it easier for the nefarious to blend in. Ah, but two could play at that, and a masquerade set things perfectly.
    The parade armor had to go. It would declare her a knight of the kingdom. She planned to let the guards on duty at the event know who she was, naturally, but such display was bound to give her away. No, she needed unmarked bits. Another chunk of time spent in the armory later and she had the start of something together. If she relied too much on armor, she'd just look like a knight anyway, right? What she needed was more fabric and under armor, like chainmail.
    She ended up spending the day with the tailor. She ended up going for an adventurous look, like a prominent member of the guild. She was disguising herself as an adventurer an awful lot lately, maybe she should work with the guild master to set up a fake identity. At any rate, she and the tailor were able to find something to her taste and got it fitted in time. The tailor thought the ensemble rather masculine but Stratya wouldn't hear it. If something were to happen while she was there, she would need mobility to react well.

[color=peru]Time:[/color] Day -> Evening
[color=peru]Location:[/color] Barracks -> Damien Estate

     She organized with the guards who were to be in attendance tonight. She was to be armed, but only with a short sword small enough to conceal on her person. She wore chainmail underneath the blue and black long coat and shirt. A little cape on her hip helped her conceal her short sword and its sheath in her pant leg. It was fit to the inside of her thigh, and she had a cord to pull with her left hand, at the back of her waist, that would pull the sword around to the outside of her leg, where she could reach into the removed pocket on her right side and draw. She put her hair up in a pony tail and fit a cloth mask to her face, covering her nose and upper face. One last look in the mirror and it was time to go.
   The masquerading knight approached the estate and spoke for a moment with the guard at the door of the event. A few noteworthy individuals had appeared, but nothing too interesting had happened. The Crown Prince was here, as well, and without a personal guard. Which was fine, this [i]should[/i] be a safe event. At the same time, something only needed to happen once, and recent events did not make anything seem safe. Right, then, find the Prince.
   As she entered the ballroom, she was reminded of her origins. A small village in the countryside. Out of her element though she was, she had a job to do. Oh, and she'd better try to hide her accent a little bit.
   Ah, she forgot to ask how the Prince was dressed. Luckily for her, he had quite the air about him, he'd be hard to miss once she found him.
