War Notes

If anything you should just have Regina lead! I am sure as the resident rog-noble she will do a fine job!

War Notes

I'll get to writing a post sometime this week. Voting eh? Sounds interesting. I can tell Regina is going to have a strong opinion about someone already.

Regina finally reached the bathhouse after her book distracted her from heading there immediately. She was on a very good scene about how a princess was about to the prince rather than the other way around. However, after seeing a few others head to the baths Regina finally decided that she should get back to the task she had in mind. Closing the book and adjusting her glasses, Regina approached the old woman and gave her the money, which may or may not be from her own bank account, taking the towel provided and entered the changing room.

She noticed three of the lockers were occupied by belongings of the other members of the class, and Regina briefly considered taking something from them. After all, most of the nobles that she has met, especially noble children, always treated her like garbage even if she was part of the nobility herself. However, her father came into mind and Regina recalled what he said. While she should not get caught, she should also not be the aggressor first, and so Regina instead just focused on changing out of her clothes, putting away her glasses and heading out into the hotspring, with nothing but a towel to cover her petite form. This was of course not her first time in a public bathhouse having gone with her father in one but she did know the looks that she would get from, mostly, males and did not desire this attention should one come in. She found three others already inside after peeking her head outside the entrance to the pool, but due to her near-sighted eyes she could not see who they were exactly combined with not being familiar with any of her classmates. However, she did hear the mention of Leblanc and Szeren, names who she noted were among the list of classmates that she would be working with. Regina thought about going to a different pool, but this was as good of a time as any to mingle. Quietly, she walked over to the pool, dropped her towel, and eased herself into a spot near the edge. Not like she could help being quiet: her father taught her to be stealthy from a young age and that training stuck.

"Ahh, it has been a while since I've been to a place like this!" Regina commented to no one in particular, closing her eyes to relax. She knew there were two classmates here, Szeren and Leblanc, but she only vaguely knew Szeren for having traveled with her with the Princess's escort. However, who was the blonde and green-hair? One of them was Leblanc of course but which one? Regina figured she was about to find out.

Ashes over the Rivianne Solaire [On Hiatus]

When the Countess answered the holy-looking man's question with the introduction that she was Countess Rivianne, the assassin's question was also answered. This answer, however, made something very clear: the countess had something in mind for them. This line of thinking would mean that each and every one of the guests were here for some reason or another, and they were apparently having some kind of dinner party. While Alina was not adverse to fine food, anyone would find this particular situation unsettling. The way they were regaining their senses and the countess mentioning their senses, and now regaining them, was even more disturbing. She liked the taste of the waterfowl, but did not enjoy not remembering eating the bird.

After the countess's supposed servant handed out desert, Alina did not touch any of it. While she claimed otherwise, the countess most undoubtedly put something in this food and the desert and a mention of a game. Only a fool would take her up on her offer, and it seemed that the others had the same idea save the detective, who Alina noted when he revealed himself as such. The detective will be a pain to deal with, but for now she will tolerate him. The other woman in the room definitely had the right idea, but something told Alina that they were had. There was an assassin in the room, namely Alina herself, and if the countess was confident in herself to have an assassin inside with none of her weapons touched then there was definitely some plan to deal with all of them. However, the woman suddenly reacted for an unknown reason, knocking over her chair. It was a very strange occurrence that Alina felt she would not get the answer to, nor did she want to anytime soon. The other man seemed to not agree with the game either, expressing a desire to leave.

However, Alina decided that the time for "games" was over. The countess would surely not give them any sort of clear answer judging by how she was acting so far, but she might as well get this over with. Her brother and now herself depended on getting through whatever the countess set up. "You must be very confident to be considering playing 'games' with us. How about we stop playing dinner and you tell us what you want already?" Alina said frankly. Alina leaned forward to the countess, intent on listening instead of eating but keeping an eye on the servant and observing her surroundings for how the countess could have them in her lap. After all, Alina still had to kill both her and her pet servant but now was certainly not the time. Besides, the countess may know something about what happened to her brother.

However, Alina never received her answer for a certain set of events happened that made Alina forget about the question as she heard what sounded like a cat panicking and the sound of the storm getting worse. In fact, the storm seemed to have shaken the building up slightly. That was when the candles were put out and the hall was shrouded in darkness. The sudden thunder made Alina jump out of her seat, though without a source of light she failed to see the countess and her maid gone as well as the rest of the oddities. It did not help that something fell inside the mansion and Alina did not know what it was. Regardless, with a pounding heart and heavy breathing she took out her knife and held it in front of her as she waited for her eyes to adjust to the darkness. When nothing came, she hesitantly hid the knife then put her hand on her chest.

"What just happened?!" Alina asked out into the darkness, deeply breathing not caring who answered and hoping someone had a light source.

It was a very eventful day. Almost too much for the young noble lady, or "noble" as some would emphasize. Regina's father has always told her never to let the royalty or the rest of nobility give her any kind of impression. Then again, her father never seemed to ever respect anyone. To put it simply, her father was not a nice man to anyone but his own family, and even then why was she forced to go to the academy if he was nice to her? Still, he was her father and her mother still loved, or tolerated, him even to this day. She was not exactly sure which was which at this point when it came to her parents.

Either way, here she was sitting in a tavern in Orello after having been to a frontier fort and now being told that they were vacationing here. However, the time came for her to have to introduce herself after the Captain introduced her own and Szeren. "It is a pleasure to meet you all." Regina said after the introduction, but then listened to what the Captain had to say. They were to go on a mission soon, and it was about capturing a dangerous beast. The reason for the Princess to be here was revealed, but right now that didn't matter so much as the free time they were to be given.

Maybe I should go to that hot-spring bath. Regina thought. She had to travel a large amount during the course of the past few days. Regina did not mind that it was a mixed bath as she was not that bashful, mostly thanks to her father and mother's....activities, but she saw a few of her classmates take interest in the bath as well. This might prove to be a good opportunity to see how they are like, but she did not want to talk to them immediately. No, she was going to simply observe unless someone came up to her. Adjusting her glasses and the bracelet she wore that was her vessel, she made her way into the bathhouse reading a final chapter in her book before closing it and getting ready for the medicinal properties that the bathhouse offered. Who knows? Maybe it offered something....more valuable than that. After all, her father always stressed the philosophy of "don't get caught."
