Hello! This is Buzzingbee! I used to be on here as BuzzBee but I had some trouble. I had issues in real life that made me go off for a while and then when I was going to come back on, passwords, emails, etc were forgotten and lost. xD But I'm back and ready to jump into where I left off!

The next five days went by almost too fast for the knight.
The first was mainly spent in the company of Oliver. Though usually silent, Penelope learned he was actually capable of talking a great deal when it came to matters he took seriously. Dimia's presence was also missing that day so it was the first time the knight truly had a moment alone with the nobleman. He pointed out weak points in her initial arguments and showed her where to place information about the war, claiming it'd be more convincing if it was in a certain order. Along with that he also advised her to keep the first half of the party carefree and to save talk of the war for later into the night when most of their guests would have already had a few drinks.
All in all, Oliver did help the knight feel a bit more confident in what she was going to say at the party and even wrote out notes for her to keep until the day finally came. Penelope found herself studying them a great deal in her free time, of which had a ton of in the days to follow.
After her day with Oliver, Penelope was left with little to nothing to do. Unable to do anything more for the party and having no guard shifts, she tried to keep herself as occupied as she possibly could. On a couple days she managed to snag Cedric for sparing. The exercise helped get her mind off of her growing anxiousness about the approaching party as well as relieve a bit of tension that it had built up in her. Although about two days prior to the party, it had snowed, so force to stay inside, Penelope instead spent the time with Naida. The two snuck a glass of wine before supper and talked casually with each other, wrapped up in blankets to fend off the cold day.
Luckily the knight still had plenty to wear her out. Aside from sparing with Cedric, she also upheld her promise to Naida and was present in the evenings for Crow's dance lessons. They easily became the most enjoyable parts of the days prior to the party. Even though it was really just something else to prepare for the party, she enjoyed the time spent with Crow and found that it usually helped her relax before bed. Not to mention it was really the only way for her to get close to him without raising any suspicion. The knight felt he had progressed a great deal in his dancing though and was fairly confident he'd be alright once it came time for the party.
It was now the morning of the party and Penelope had been up since the first bit of morning light had filtered into her room. Sleep had not come easier to her the night before. She had tossed and turned for quite a while before she had finally managed to fall into a light sleep. The knight was feeling a wide mix of emotions. Mainly nervous and anxious about how the night would go but there was also a bit of excitement in her. If all went well that night, she would likely be able to convince the king and it likely wouldn't be much longer before her and Crow could finally start courting.
Regardless the mixing emotions—both good and bad—made her stomach churn.
Letting out a long sigh, she stared up at the ceiling, still procrastinating to get out of bed. She knew that she should get moving soon to get breakfast and start the long day ahead of her though. Penelope closed her eyes tightly. "Oh Toreus please let this night go well..." she prayed quietly under her breath. Pushing back the anxiety she had, the knight got out of bed and straightened her appearance out before heading off to the Great Hall for breakfast. She doubted she'd be able to eat much with the current way her stomach was feeling but figured it was best to try and at least get a small bite in before she figured out what she'd be doing the rest of her day from the Lenz's.

Penelope got a bit lazy with Gavin's letter because she was tired xD
After Cedric dipped his head in a formal fashion to both Crow and Naida, the two knights began to make their way out of the Great Hall together. Since it was a rather short walk, the two didn't converse much and instead simply parted ways once they were out the door, both wishing the other luck with the tasks at hand. Now alone, Penelope let out a quiet yawn she had been suppressing and made her way down the corridor to her room. Though she was determined to get the letters to Gavin and Olivia done before she retired for the night, the thought of pick up a quill again after spending the whole day righting invitations nearly made her stomach turn with dread. She could almost swear that she felt the dull crap in her right hand returning just at the thought.
Stepping into her room, she trotted over to her bedside table and reluctantly plopped down in her chair as she reached into her pocket for the letters. As she pulled them out, she unfolded them, letting her green gaze briefly skim over the words. The knight grabbed the writing supplies and began to work on her letters to her friends.
An amused smirk crossed Penelope's lips. It was nearly a bit of payback to tease Olivia about her involvement with Alistair after all the trouble she had tried to stir.
Finishing off her first letter, Penelope put her quill down and stretched her hand, trying to rid the dull ache that she had accidentally stirred by writing again. She let out a breath and leaned back on her bed for a moment, deciding to take a small break. The longer she sat there, the more difficult it became to keep her eyes open. Realizing she was beginning to sink backwards into the mattress, she quickly sat up and gave her head a good shake, trying to jog herself awake enough to finish one more letter. Deciding it best not to waste anymore time, she picked up her quill again and began to write to Gavin.
Her handwriting had slowly gotten a bit more messy as she wrote the last bit of the letter out of her eagerness to finish it. As she signed off her name, there was a sense of relief to finally be done with writing for the day. Hopefully for a few days actually. Penelope placed her quill down and rolled into her bed, not bothering to organize her letters at the moment. That could easily be done before breakfast. Right now, all the knight wanted to do was curl up in her bed and sleep. So she did.
Wrapping herself up in her blankets to fend off the small nip of cold air in her room, she settled down in her bed for the night, quickly drifting off into a comfortable sleep.

Dear Olivia,
Thank you for delivering the letter for Collin. He was really grateful to hear from his companions and since it sounds like things are going well between you and Alistair, has even offered to officiate your wedding if you'd like. I'm teasing of course but if you ever decide to, it's certainly an option.

—Anyways, I'm sorry to hear about the battles. It sounds like nothing has changed aside from the passing of days out there. Hopefully that will change soon. As I write this, I'm planning to throw a grand party with the help of the Lenz's. I've gathered quite a bit of support so far through letters but it's not enough on it's own. Gavin's sister and her husband came with an idea of throwing a huge party and convincing nobles there. If we pull it off, I think I'll have enough to convince the king. I'll have to do so fast though since he has another plan to send Collin off to Gorm in less than a month now to negotiate for an alliance.
As for things with Naida, we've been able to keep her out of the blue. Although she certainly does keep testing us. Honestly it'll be so much easier once we can come clean about our relationship. I really do hope that'll happen soon as well.
I hope you're faring well, Olivia, and I look forward to hearing from you again. Be safe out there.
Best Regards,
Penelope

Dear Gavin,
I'm sorry to hear my brother has been giving you such a tough time. Thank you so much for keeping Collin and I's relationship hidden from him still. And I hope you were able to keep him from dismantling the rule the barons passed. My brother can be quite the pain in the ass and I'm sorry you're the one who has to be dealing with him right now.
As for what's going on here, well it's quite a lot actually. Firstly, I also need to thank you for enlisting Dimia and her husband to help me. I honestly think I wouldn't have a chance of convincing the king without them. We're putting together a large party in hopes of using it to persuade higher nobles to our side. As I write this, it's only a few days away. I have quite a bit of support in letters but I don't think I could convince the king unless the party goes well. I pray that it does and that the war's peaceful end is on the horizon. If it doesn't, the king will likely send Collin to Gorm in less than a month to try and negotiate for an alliance, which would just mean more battles are to come.
I hope you and everyone else has recovered well from the last battle you mentioned. Hopefully the next you hear from me it will be nothing but good news about the events that are going to take place. Stay safe Gavin and I hope to hear back from you soon.
Best Regards,
Penelope

Luckily Cedric decided it was best not to push it any further xD
And same haha

Penelope chose to ignore the way Naida had pressed her lips into a thin line, clearly a bit frustrated that her plan to get more information about their trip to Younis hadn't worked. She was intend on letting the conversation go but before she could say another word, she felt Crow press his leg against hers underneath the table. Knowing it was no accident, the knight subtly glanced in his direction. She was confused by his reaction, wondering why he had gotten upset with Cedric's words. Sure Cedric had complimented her but Penelope hardly thought they were flirtatious.
"Anyways, I'm looking forward to this party of yours. I've mentioned it to a few of the higher ranking knights of the castle guard. They seemed more than willing to go." Cedric mused, switching the subject casually.
Figuring Crow was just being over protective, she lowered one hand down into her lap, pretending to focus her attention on Cedric's words as he spoke about the party. Subtly, she slipped her hand onto his leg, trying to offer what comfort she could while they were in front of the others. "That's great. Anything will help." she mused to Cedric with a small smile. Penelope gave his leg an affectionate squeeze before shifting her hand back into her own lap.
She chatted casually with Cedric a bit longer about the party as he asked about getting invitations for the nobles he had spoken with as well as other smaller details. Penelope answered what she knew and suggested he'd speak to Dimia if he needed anything clarified since the noblewoman had more of a say in the matter of the party than she did. Eventually the conversation died down and Penelope instead focused on her food, finishing up the bit that was left. Once her stomach was full, she leaned away from the table and let out a content sign.
"I better get going." Penelope announced, stretching slightly to fight off the weariness that was seeping over her. "I still have a couple letters I need to write before the night's over."
"Good luck with those. I should leave too, actually." Cedric sighed, standing up. "I've got a morning shift tomorrow so I've got to be up early."
Penelope nodded her head and slowly rose up to her feet as well, glancing between Naida and Crow as she prepared to depart. " Guess I'll see you guys tomorrow." she said with a small smile.

Penelope tried to make it better but then Cedric used it as an opportunity to lowkey flirt with her XD
Oh boy xD
Oh boy xD
As the plates were put down, Penelope was hopeful that the topic would be dropped. She really didn't want to delve into her past with Cedric. It wasn't a pleasant one after all. Of course, she didn't want to go into detail about her past with Crow either. It would still be a short while before she could even hope for them to start courting and until then, they needed to keep their relationship a secret. She had given a couple details to Naida about their more recent past earlier and certainly didn't want to push her luck.
Unfortunately, it seemed that the subject hadn't been dropped so easily.
As Naida spoke up this time, Penelope glanced over at her and rolled her eyes at the mischief in her smile. She should have known better than to think Naida would jump at the chance to try and find even more reasons to push her and Crow together. However, the princess had struck a topic that was a bit difficult for her to deny. Meeting Crow had changed her quite a bit and she knew she certainly hadn't been the same person she was at the beginning of their trip. Still, she didn't intend to give Naida anymore information that would suggest their closeness.
"Our lives, barely." Penelope responded with a small smirk. "I don't think I could properly count up all the times we were attacked."
"Must have been dangerous." Cedric commented, looking over at her curiously. "I'm guessing that's when you got the scar huh?"
Penelope nodded her head. "A little while after we were attacked by mercenaries on the way back to the castle, William and I got into a fight with some other ones in the process of trying to recover the staff."
"Well thank gods you were able to survive all of that." Cedric whistled. His gaze briefly flickered towards Naida before focusing back on Penelope, flashing her a fond smile. "I suppose on the bright side of things, you're looking as tough on the outside as you are on the inside." He pointed out with a playful wink.
The female knight did feel a bit strange receiving such a compliment from him. She was still a bit wary of him due to their past and though he hadn't said anything particularly flirtatious, she felt awkward receiving his otherwise playful comment in front of Crow. Perhaps it was just because of Crow's strong dislike of him. Chalking it up to that, she quickly relaxed. Penelope gave Cedric an amused smile in response and rolled her eyes at the male knight before focusing back down onto her food.

Let's Write!
Welcome and thanks for dropping by! I'm Buzzingbee, Buzz, Bee or honestly anything along those lines. I'm looking to hopefully start up a couple new longterm roleplays. I like a wide variety of things but honestly I will always have a soft spot for medieval plots. Preferably ones with low to no fantasy element but I'm certainly not crossing out high fantasy ones! I'm also open to any other genres though and certainly open to hearing plots of all kinds! But before we get into the fun stuff, here's what you need to know about me as well as what I'm looking for in a partner!
About Me
- I prefer female mains, but I am capable of rping males so I am open to doubling if that is an issue. Also love a large side cast of npcs!
- Romance is prefered but not required! I'm a bit of a sap and I love a good romance but I don't want it to ever be the only thing going on in the plot. At the moment, I'm open to MxF and FxF pairings.
- I am 18+.
- I consider myself a casual to high casual writer. I can pretty much guarantee about 3 paragraphs each post.
- Since I am 18+, I am ok with mature themes. Though, I prefer to fade to black for explicit things. I will not write smut.
- OOC chat is welcomed and encouraged! I love to world build and plot or just chat as we write.
- My posting frequency can change depending on my work schedule. I aim to post at least once a day if not more but life can wear me out at times. If I'm going to be gone for more than a day or two I will let you know.
- I'm ditch friendly! I understand that things come up or you lose interest in the story. It happens to all of us and I won't be upset if you decide to back out at any point c:
- As stated earlier, I like a wide variety of genres and themes but have a soft spot for medieval. I also love supernatural plots as well. I'm open to hearing plots or ideas that I don't have listed below!
- I prefer to write over threads (just find it to be easier to keep track of) but may be convinced into a PM.
What I'm Looking For
- Hopefully long term partner or two!
- Someone 18+
- Able to post on average around 3 paragraphs or more. While I consider myself just casual, I am willing to take a shot at advanced writing if any advanced writers are willing to have some patience with me! I'm always looking to improve my writing and challenge myself a bit.
- Someone who's hopefully into world building and character development :D
Plots
1. Dystopian/Political - Set in a dystopian society where one elite council rules over all, a new rising star begins to garner fame. MuseA is a politician with their eyes set on a soon to be opening council seat. While MuseA has the support of the people, they don't have the support of the council. Wanting to disrupt MuseA's claim to power, one council member hatches a plan. They hire MuseB, a lesser known government worker, to worm their way into MuseA's life in order to uncover any dark secrets as well as to plant other such scandals.
2.****(really want to try this one) Medieval/Fantasy - In the kingdom of Argarth, MuseA and MuseB live secluded in a forest. They are witches/wizards who were forced to flee from their coven after the latest king declared witchcraft illegal. The two have managed to keep a low profile by removing themselves from most of society. It has kept them safe from the witch hunters for a couple seasons. They are just beginning to settle into this new life when a stranger walks right into their peaceful life. Well, more like collapses. MuseC comes out of nowhere one night, injured and in need of help, and passes out right at the sibling's doorstep. MuseA, going against the wishes of MuseB, decides to use a healing spell to same MuseC's life. Unfortunately for MuseA, MuseC might not have been as unconscious as they previously thought. (There's plenty of ways we can go with this story! Also open for doubling and/or potential love triangle plot. Can be low to high fantasy!)
3. Superheroes/Light Hearted - In a large city with high crime rates and known villains, two heroes, MuseA and MuseB, rise to the challenge at the same time. At first, they view each other as coworkers of sorts, usually crossing paths whenever evil is afoot. Their once casual interactions, however, soon begin to turn competitive as the citizens/reporters of the city begin to question who's the hero and who's the sidekick. With neither MuseA or B willing to accept that title, the two heroes develop a rivalry. I view this idea as a more comical, action packed one that may develop more serious/dark themes as we dive into the story.
Cedric tried to be a smartass and pull a reverse uno card on Crow xD little does he realize Crow knows their history lol
And yeah xD Cedric's going to get a bit bold at the party so after that I imagine they'll be on even worse terms xD
