I was looking at my PMs and I noticed that quite a few of them only had my username as a participant, even if the person I PMed responded to me. What's stranger is there are also ones where the person is shown as a participant but others not. It's not the biggest of bugs to be sure, but for like PMs I sent to someone and they never responded back, since the participant doesn't show up how am I even suppose to know if it got sent to them? Anyway this is very strange and should be looked into.

I'm having way too much fun with my Legend of Zelda Encylopedia. This is the game that got me into roleplaying so have a lot invested in it's lore and stories. Too bad can't have all the games too.

Thankfully everything was well as Gear Heart managed to prevent any real damage from happening while Noella also helped Veronica from being hurt. As things were as usual the baron smiled at bit at the quickness of his staff. "Well everyone, it is up to you to prepare for the trip. At the same time we will be taking the new horseless carriage out for a spin; however, we will also be taking along the normal coach as well. As I trust in everyone's abilities Veronica will be staying in the horse-drawn carriage for the trip to town, while a few of you will be testing out our new transportation and lead the way. If what I have been told is true, the Gear-carriage can travel at much faster speeds and transport heavy things much easier, but of course it will stay close by at all times."
The baron gave out his instructions and Veronica thanked Noella for catching her and Gear Heart for his usual protection. Lucky's offer to let her ride one of the newest ponies when they got back was also exciting, but priorities lied with the trip. "I'll go pack some stuff for the trip. Fare thee-well for about, 30 minutes!" Veronica laughed, gave a curtsy to the room, then skipped away to her room while one of the servants went to get a suitcase and make sure they were there for the packing so nothing strange happened.
The baron chuckled at bit at her antics but when she was gone turned serious. "Well it is time you all earn your keep. Let's minimize any potential dangers as much as possible." The baron got up from his chair and with a gesture commanded everyone to prepare.
Soon enough everyone had filed out into the driveway while the servants finished the final preparations on the two vehicles, making sure everything was just so. How it was set up was the baron and his family would be in the horse-drawn carriage along with one of the families best maids, Janett. A driver and Lucky would be outside the carriage, ready to calm the horses if the need ever arrived. Lance, Noelle and a few other servants were in the 'gearbox' where they could quickly respond to anything that might happen, and test drive the new vehicle.
The thing of interest was what exactly to do with Gear Heart. A golem was easy enough to use around the house by taking him on a trip was a bit of a different matter. While it was possible for the golem to just walk beside them such a journey, short though it was, could be bad for his gears if they went at any decent speed. The golem would not fit in any of the carriages and it's weight was a problem anyway. While they had pondered what to do, James got an idea to rig a heavy wagon to the back of the horse-less carriage that Gear Heart could sit in.
This first trip would be quite the test for the new machine.

As Noella put her doll closer to the drama unfolding, Veronica made the bunny couple pause to consider the request. "Welllll," Mrs. Bunny considered for a while then turned to her husband, "what do you think dear?"
Mr Bunny nodded his head in throught then turned to Noella's doll. "Only if you can ultra-super-promise me that you'll keep Danny out of trouble!"
Danny rolled his eyes, figuratively, and groaned, "Oh come on I've come back safe and sound all the other times!"
"Hush child," Mrs. Bunny scolded while they waited for Noella's response. While that was happening though, Lucky peeked in the door and proclaimed his presense, momentarily disrupting the doll drama.
"Hey Lucky! You can be the bad guys trying to take advantage of Danny!" Veronica excited pointed to the dolls that were not being used at the moment.
Thankfully for Lucky he would not have to join in as the Baron entered the room from behind him. "Good morning everyone, I have something of great importance to tell everyone." As he passed Lucky, he gave the lad a friendly pat on the shoulder and sat down on a chair in the room. "The time has finally come for my daughter to go to town and be formally introduced to some friends of mine."
This was quite the revelation as the Baron had been literally avoiding such a thing, for years to keep Veronica as safe as possible. There was little secret that traveling around, especially to a much heavier populated area would increase the amount of dangers that Veronica would face; however the baron had an obligation to interact with other families of influence along with his daughter. She was already eleven and it was way past time he should have done this in the first place.
Veronica dropped her dolls, in amazement. "Dad, do you mean, I can finally go to town and look around!" Veronica's eyes sparkled in anticipation at the upcoming adventure. Full of excitement, she started to spin around, her frilly clothes twirling around her, making her a small hurricane. "I'll get to go to the candy store, and the toy store, and the bakery, and see other people!" The list kept growing along with her excitement and rapid spinning.
The baron smiled, grimly, and added, "Thankfully I have also learned that the Great Sage is in town so we will be paying him a visit as well. Maybe he will have some good news for my daughter." It was not very often the Great Sage, who was looking for a way to remove the curse, was in the area so it was certainly something to look forward to.
Veronica had a hard time staying in one place as she spun, stepped on one of her dolls, lost her footing, and started to fall toward her playhouse.

The rest of the day was a resounding success. Veronica only choked on food two times, fell in the lake once, and one large watermelon almost hit her in the head. Everything was quickly taken care of as it appeared and the entire household got to enjoy themselves to the utmost.
Jack did some rather intense interrogation on the last surviving attacker but got very little useful information. Before they could give him over to authorities he committed suicide however under Jack's watch. Soon after the baron decided to fire Jack who went on back into the world. The baron was actually rather grateful he left without a fuss.
Before anyone knew it a year had already passed, making Veronica the ripe age of eleven.
"Are you sure this contraption is stable?" The baron questioned as he poked around his newest purchase, a horseless carriage. A very diminutive pixie fluttered around in a shocked fashion, meaning very erratically as it tried to defend its work.
"Of course it is! The gearbox has been triple-checked! I would stake my reputation as the best engineer in all of Brighton!"
"Ohh, but I thought you were the second best?" The baron countered without batting an eye as he continued his inspection over all the shiny metal that comprised the machinery that allowed the carriage to move without any animal power.
The two foot-tall pixie seemed to buzz as its ruby red wings moved like a hummingbird's wings in frustration. "Please, that no good gnome hack might have a much bigger operation but he can't do the find detail work that I can!"
"I have great respect for your work, and I really do thank you for coming all this way to do a check even after I bought it. I really hope this will make a great addition to my house and allow me to get home even sooner." It had been a very expensive purchase and he'd be feeling like he had a hole in his money pocket for a while but the benefits such a machine could bring had been too good to pass up. He just hoped it would not come and backfire on him later.
"Thank you for your service. I'll have James take care of anything you need before you head back." The baron figured this would be as safe as he could make the inspection and turned toward the pixie to thank it.
"Thank you your lordship, I'll happily take you up on the offer." The pixie's irritation gone, he flew away to find James and get some tea before heading back to Brighton.
The baron looked back at the fancy machine with worry. "Well, I hope you're up for a trip, cause it is high time I take my daughter on a trip to the city." The gear laden carriage shone with splendor as if to say it would complete the trip without fail. The baron certainly hoped that was the case.
Veronica happily played with a rather large playhouse in the middle of a special playroom inside the mansion. It was large, two-story, and was cut in half so that her dolls could populate the inside while she made up stories. The current drama seemed to be a family dispute between Mr and Mrs Bunny and their human offspring.
"How many times have I told Danny, you cannot go into town on your own? What if something had happened to you because of those hoodlims you hang out with?" Mrs. Bunny scolded Danny, a young boy doll with dark hair.
"Why do you always have to get in the way mom? I have great fun every time I'm over there! It's perfectly safe!" Danny argued back fiercely.
"Now you listen to your mother young man or one day you're going to regret it!" Mr Bunny said in his wife's defense.
"Honey, let me handle this." Mrs. Bunny said, then continued to explain to her son what horrible things could happen to him. The funny thing was that Veronica had actually had quite a few of things things happen, or at least been attempted against her so the drama was not exactly that far from home.

Hey guys wanted to let you know I've been very busy and cpu isn't working all that well so go ahead and remove my character or use him if you wish cause I'm not gonna be able to keep up with posting. It was fun roleplaying with you guys but I'm sticking with one roleplay so it's easier to keep up with and still get all the property work I've got for the summer.
Alright, take care good sir. Sorry about the comp.

Let me guess, 1 of them is a fanatical cult which believes that anyone marked by The Cosmic Jest must be killed as quickly as possible and the other is a powerful jilted lover from the baron's younger days who seeks vengeance against the baron by trying to kill Veronica and any other loved ones the baron keeps close at hand.
Well the first one is pretty close, I never even considered the second one, might have to use it later...
Time skip soon. Also will be introducing a recurring villain soon. I have two thought up that will be very credible threats, though most of their action is still a bit in the future.
The remaining assassin will not be very helpful unfortunately. Pretty much will just learn someone with a lot of power is messing around with hiring assassins.

The baron frowned when Jack said he wanted to interrogate the last surviving assassin. As much as he would like to find a way to get at the person who hired the group, he also knew Jack did not exactly have an 'ethical' background. He might be able to garner some information but at what cost? He could not let the actions of someone under his employment reflect poorly on his family, he had trouble enough keeping his family's reputation alive with just all the incidents with his daughter being constantly discussed among the gentry.
His need to protect his daughter won out in the end. "You may do as you wish, out of sight and report back to me." The baron felt he could allow a little bending, if it would ultimately help out his daughter.
It did not take long for the grounds to be moved away from the carnage and soon nearly everyone in the household had come out to join in the festivities. Pies, ales, wines, plenty of fruit, cheeses, breads, and various other items to eat and drink were being based around. The baron looked at his daughter with a smile, with his wife beside him.
The Lady of the House was a pretty red-head with porcelin skin who appeared quite fragile. It was unfortunate but her appearance was actually quite in line with her physically. She was not very strong, had frequent ailments and in general was not up to the task of taking care of a daughter who almost died every Tuesday. Every moment she could spend time with her daughter was precious but the emotional and physical toil often kept her away for her own safety.
At the moment, the noble couple looked warmly at the scene of Veronica playing a game called Freeze-Run. It was a simple game where one person was the Gate-Wizard who guarded a section of ground that the others were attempting to run across. The Gate-Wizard would have their back to them, people would try to run but then the Gate-Wizard would 'cast' a freeze spell and turn around. Anyway still in motion would 'shatter' and be sent back to the beginning.
At the moment a good bit of the help had been roped into playing as Veronica played the role of the Gate-Wizard to perfection. "Mhahahah. You shall not pass! Thou shall never make it to the other side!" Complete with a giant Wizard hat the baron had acquired in the city a while ago, Veronica grinned at everyone who was stalk still. "Hmm, I must recharge my magics, it will only be a moment." Veronica turned around and started to mumble non-sense, signaling everyone involved to start running.
After a few seconds, Veronica spun around a little too quickly while yelling, "Freeze!", forcing her to use one hand to hold onto the ridiculously large purple, wide-brimmed, hat. Her free hand was pointed at the contestants, with an opened palm and fingers splayed apart for dramatic effect as if she had just cast the spell. Most managed to stop but one of the servants was in too awkward a pose and crashed to the ground.
Veronica tried to make the sound of breaking ice and would not have been very convincing had she not raised up her hands as if signaling an explosion of epic proportions. "Boom! Jill you're broken! Back to the start." The servant laughed and did as she was told.
"I hope moments like this never end." The Lady of the house whispered to her husband and slipped a dainty hand into his. The baron could only nod in agreement and bask in his daughters cuteness and his wife's kindness. It was moments like these he fought for, each and every day.

I've been quite busy is all, no need to electrocute me!
It had all happened so fast for poor Veronica, first something was being flung at her face and next she knew, she was lying on top of Lucky. While she certainly played with Lucky more than other servants due to his age, being in such close contact to the boy was not something she was exactly used to. Wide-eyed, she looked down at Lucky like a fawn in the lamp light.
"You're safe now." Came his soft voice into her ears, turning them pink. As he sat up she quickly scrambled away and turned her head to make sure her hair was in the way, so the redness wasn't apparent. Veronica wasn't exactly sure what just happened but for the moment she just decided to take in a few deep breathes.
After regaining her senses, she saw Gear Heart offer flowers to both her and Lucky. Not wanting to be rude to the friendly golem, she took the flower but then turned and offered hers to Lucky. "Thank you Lucky, I feel like you deserve both of them." She desperately tried to keep a straight face as she offered the flower to the half-elf, but could only do so by only half looking at him.
The baron was pleased as he saw everyone return, not uninjured but at least nothing fatal. "Lance, Noelle, Gear Heart, Jack, and Lucky, jobs well done. As for the remaining assassin Lance, I've heard the pig pen is especially muddy this year, might be a suitable location for our guest."
The baron looked around and sighed, "Well, we will have to move the picnic a ways so some of the servants can clean up here. Still, this will not stop me from enjoying some quality time with my daughter." He smiled again, and as the servants came out to help, he was there along with them in moving the picnic to another area near the lake.

Well, Lucky probably fells useless after all this.
Don't worry Lucky, Gear Heart screwed up and you're the only one who can save the day!
