Quinn

With the lack of any surprise tests, Quinn found the day less stressful although she could not deny that it was boring. The mandatory classes seemed to continue the things they started the last lesson and it looked like the science teacher would set homework every day. So much for having free periods. During her break and lunch, she walked around the study halls and examined the notice boards for any extra-curriculars she could partake in. So far, there was nothing but the sports' team sign-ups, most of which have been already filled out to a brim with names. Quinn looked at the sign-up sheet for the dance team with contempt. When did they all these students find time to sign up? It was only a day since school started. She could only hope that other clubs would start opening applications otherwise she would end up having to create her own. Walking away she pulled out her phone and posted a picture of the halls. It was a while since she updated her socials and editing the image could possibly cure her boredom.

Quinn found the music class surprisingly basic. Most of the terminology she used quite often so she just jotted down some simple notes while inspecting the selection of instruments the school had to offer. While she would be most comfortable with a piano, Quinn was considering branching out into other instruments but that would require her to sacrifice more time to get good. Pushing the thought out of her head, she began staring out of the window into the courtyard. There was no rush, when the time came to pick she would decide.

Finally, the time for physical education arrived and with it the pleasure of running. Sports was something that she always enjoyed and that her parents never had any objections about. The importance of being healthy and whatever else their doctor recommended was never questioned by them so she had at least one excuse to avoid them in the mornings. The test was simple in her opinion and she managed to be slightly behind the most athletic students, although she was never able to overtake them. Still, Quinn was more than happy with her performance and headed back to the locker room with a spring in her step.

After changing back into some casual clothes ( there was no point in changing back into her 'professional' clothing), she headed into the library to return the book she took out yesterday and began to look through the shelves to find something that would interest her.

Anya

Anya walked past Blake without a glance, annoyed at his sudden disappearance. She wasn't going to explain what was happening to him- it wasn't her fault that he left and honestly some silent treatment never hurt anybody. Following the guards with her head held high, she decided to ignore her surroundings until tomorrow. As Marcus said, everyone was tired and she was barely keeping it together- both mentally and physically. Not wanting to bother anyone with going back to the docks, she decided to go for a swim first thing after she got some sleep. The water served in the castle was good for a short burst of energy but it wouldn't help her like seawater.

Marcus

@Squirrel98@Blade17
Once again he bowed to the royalty, before following the crew. This was the most infuriating night that he experienced in a while. With the queen and king out of sight, Marcus dropped his polite facade to reveal a scowl, that not so rarely graced his face. The entire scheme was ridiculous and while being in the presence of royalty greatly displeased him, something made him agree to the queen's terms. Whet ever it was his curiosity or the fear of execution, he wasn't sure. The presence of the royal guard didn't help either. Rubbing his eyes, he attempted to commit his surroundings to his memory, although in the morning Marcus would find that he wasn't able to memorise much. The corridors looked eerily similar in the morning light and he was pretty much sleep-walking at this point.

Focusing in on his crew, he noted that everyone seemed to be as tired as he was if not more. Taking into account Hope's slight injury he instructed: ''Anyone's who's injured in any way gets to have the first rooms we are lead to. Everyone else, feel free to pick amongst yourselves.''

Anya

@Blade17
Anya rolled her eyes as Blake left the room. The meeting wasn't over yet and instead of staying to support the captain he left. Feeling like it would be beneficial to stay and find out what was going to happen next, she patiently stood in place with an occasional glance at the objects. The queen's words were quite generous and honestly, Anya felt like this all was too good to be true. On the other hand, the queen seemed too serious for this to be a joke or a weird ploy to execute them.

Once the pixies appeared, Anya silently shuffled backwards while observing them. Despite feeling like the queen wouldn't hurt them for now, it was better to be safe than sorry. She noted they were cute... in their own way and although she wanted to find out more about them, she would prefer to stay away from anything that was hot until she recharged more of her energy.

Marcus

@Utrax@Squirrel98

Nodding at the queen's words, Marcus tried to ignore the pixies' presence. He thought they were slightly creepy but he wasn't going to admit it, especially in front of Tol. So what if they might be capable of causing a fire? The kingdom was near the ocean and it could be put out- but it would be hard to get to the docks from the castle. Hiding the anxiety that began to build, Marcus responded stiffly: ''You are exceptionally generous your highness. Thank you for everything- we are grateful''.

Taking a second to calm his nerves, he bowed and turned to the crew. Finding that Blake had left already, he tiredly continued: '' We should get some rest. I doubt any of us got any sleep and I'm not in the mood to look for a certain someone.''

Quinn

The time spent at the library was enjoyable, although Quinn didn't do much work apart from drafting the English assignment and finishing the drama homework ( which was quite easy due to the fact she had to memorise all of the terms when she began acting). After that, she lost all her drive to study and instead she walked off to survey the books the school had to offer. There seemed to be a large range of book genres and topics, including a decent amount of books surrounding the arts. While looking around, she found a rather thin book about Bram Stoker which she borrowed for reference. In the end, she didn't work as hard as others but had fun talking to her new study group and exploring the library.

Once she returned to the dorm, she rewrote the English assignment until she felt like it would give her a passing grade. During her research, she found musicals based on Stoker's works and decided to listen to the soundtrack later. It could make the topic more interesting if she could listen to the topic in a song form. Learning by reading was never her thing and while she sometimes read books for pleasure, she was never able to memorise much. By the time she finished, it was close to midnight but she didn't feel too tired. Since it was too late to wander around the campus, Quinn took out a small box containing what looked to be yarn and knitting needles. Her parents didn't let bring more things to craft with, so she settled on the yarn. Sitting on her bed, she began to knit at a moderate pace, eventually falling asleep.

Anya

Not having a route to follow was bad, but having uncooperative crew members were even worse. It made Anya happy to see Marcus trying to get rid of the prince. Was it wrong of her to judge him so harshly after one bad encounter? Of course, she wouldn't deny that but based on what she saw so far, the nymph had come to the conclusion that there was no way that he had any redeeming qualities. Afterall she was sure there were other ways of being transported to the castle other than the cage. All of this confusion, just to investigate some weird place from which the objects came from. Unable to figure out anything remarkable about them, she dragged her gaze back to the Queen. Unlike her son, she clearly had some sense. Five days should be enough to draw out a route and to see if any stops were necessary - besides being so close to royalty would give her a chance to see some higher class clothing.

Marcus

@Utrax

Seeing Tol shut up so quickly, filled Marcus with some glee. It seemed like there was someone who could control him- certainly something that was hard to achieve. If he didn't have any shred of respect for the Queen before, he did have some now. Dealing with the prince didn't look like it was enjoyable. Maybe he could get over his hate for the royalty as long as the other aristocrats weren't like Tol. Additionally getting to have some control over a ROYAL, would be somewhat hilarious- he nearly wanted to retract his previous statement and agree to take Tol on board. It would be a perfect come-back for the earlier treatment, but he didn't want to anger the Queen. Especially since she sounded agitated already:

'' Sounds perfectly reasonable Madam. Five days should be long enough to get ourselves and the ship ready. Thank you for obliging my request'' glancing back at the crew, Marcus continued '' We will make sure anyone you send with us makes it back alive''. Of course, that didn't mean they would be in one piece- but the royals didn't need to know that.

Jane

Once the princess had eaten and got dressed, Jane had a short period of time for herself before she had to escort the young royal to her tutors. Mindlessly she wandered the halls until she found herself in front of the door of the throne room. There was a suspicious lack of guards in the area and it's not like it was unusual for her to be in this area so she nonchalantly leaned towards the door in order to listen in to the meeting. Because it was closed, Jane found it hard to hear clearly, but she managed to make out some parts of the conversation. Someone from the castle was to travel with some crew and monitor their progress. Assuming that it was something about a political alliance, she backed away satisfied. It clearly was nothing to worry about- she was sure the queen would send out someone who could handle this. Although, it wouldn't hurt making sure the princess was on her best behaviour this week.

Marcus

@Squirrel98@Utrax

That was the last thing that Marcus had expected to happen. What was the royal family thinking? Putting pirates and royals together never ended well and bloodshed was something that Marcus had hoped to avoid for a while. Still, they were in the royal's territory and they could be executed at any moment. There was no way he could deny their request, although he could try to negotiate the terms, make the journey easier for the crew. With the prince on board, Marcus would probably lose some control as there was no doubt that the royal would insist on doing things his way and would disobey any order given whenever possible

He quickly looked back to see if Hope was alright and noticing the way she flew, he signalled to her to lean against one of the walls implying that she should lean against it for support. Marcus faced the queen and king again: ''Your majesties, we would be glad to fulfil your request, but I'm afraid that if the prince joined us it could be detrimental to our progress. You see, we haven't started off on the right foot and we wouldn't want anyone to get hurt for no good reason. Is there anyone else who can accompany us?''

Anya

@Blade17

Nodding quickly back at Blake, Anya attempted to listen to the King. The request was shocking, of course, but she was more annoyed than surprised. All of their routes for the next few months would have to be discarded and replaced with new ones which would probably take a while to plan and she felt like the royal family didn't want to wait around. Glaring briefly at Marcus for not denying the request, she tried to hide the anger that began to grow within by looking at the objects laid out on the table. Some of them she had never seen before in her life and memorising how they looked like could be useful in the long run.
