Okay, working on a post now - please note that those that have reached the 5+ mark on not posting an IC post have 24 hours to post at this time or an update needs to be given so I know where you stand on this RP.

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Universorum Thankies hun, ^^ (Just trying to make sure everything is ready for Hushed when she can post.)

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Universorum Okay, sounds good - could you put in a text from her to either Nat or Connor letting the group know she won't be attending the lunch - that way when Hushed can post again Belle is at least covered until you decide what to do for her. Pwease?

Kyra Altham

Location: Outside The Tavern
Interacting With: The Medieval X-Men

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kyra just smiled at Sona, she seemed happy to get the music sheets. At least they had finally found a home where they would be put to use in a good way instead of just as kindling if it came down to it. Gathering her things she hefted her pack onto her shoulder and picked up her bow. With a quick whistle Ash rushed over to her side and she motioned for the door.

"Alright folks, let's get packed up and ready to head out. We have a long road ahead of us. Let's get as much of it out of the way before the rain sets in," she said as she motioned towards the clouds outside of the window.

Stepping outside she tossed her pack into the back of Cremwise's wagon and stepped over to the merchant who was already seated up at the front with the horses reigns in his hands. He gave a smile, he was ready to go. He wasn't looking forward to having to get through the orc territory but with this group at least he stood a good chance of getting through without incident. Hopefully the orcs would just let the merchant get through without issue, they weren't military it was clear. He was even thankful for the Half-Orc; maybe that would buy them some kindness.

Kyra knew better, Orcs and Half-Orcs did not get along. She was figuring there would be at least one or two scuffles during the trip. Maybe if they made a strong enough showing during the first it would make the orcs back off enough to get through without any others but Orcs were not known for baking down from a fight. And if they were working with the same goblins that had attacked her adopted home, it would make things even worse. This was going to be anything but an easy walk through the woods. She would have rather gone on foot alone off the main path but it wasn't like the wagon could handle the hilly terrain, if heavy rain set in on the dusty path that alone would cause some issues. Least they had a brute or two in the group to help get the wagon out of any mud problems.

"So, how do we do this?" Cremwise asked.

"Ash and I will scout ahead of the main group. The rest will stay with you. If anything happens, I'll signal; Lob should be able to pick up on it with his senses," she said before looking over at Lob. "Keep an ear out for me but stay with them Lob," she instructed as she pulled the hood of her mantel up and patted Ash. Unslinging her bow from her back, she knocked a bow into place and ran off through the south exit of town - the only exit and made her way along the path north until she ducked off the path and into the woods with Ash taking the lead.

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Universorum Sweet, are we going to see anything from Belle? (Didn't know if you wanted to keep her in the game or just stay with one character since we hadn't seen anything for her in a long while.)

~*The Orient Express*~

Yes I have seen it, it isn't as good as TWD but it is a nice supplement; it hasn't hooked me the way the original has though.

Working on posts for places but a bit swamped, so going slower than anticipated but the post will be up today. (well today for me, it's about 12:30 pm here)

Risa Couri

Location: Braun Mansion, New York State
Interacting With: Mr. Braun, Lucas

Risa stood there, looking in shock over the broken glass, Braun none to happy with what had happened but his face went from angered to smooth rather quickly as Risa came over to him and rested her hand on his shoulder. A soft understanding smile gracing her lips.

"Is my Prince Charming alright?" she asked in a gentle voice, Braun taking her hand and kissing the back of it once again as he tried to play it smooth; which in all honesty only made Rise want to belt him across the jaw but she kept the smith plastered on her features.

"Of course Cinderella, I am just glad it was not your heel that broke," he joked. Risa nearly rolled her eyes and gagged; Lucas was beginning to rub off on her.

"Shall we get a drink then why they clean this up?" she suggested as she laced her arm through his and began to lead him off the dance floor. He smirked and shook his head, turning directions and leading her towards the balcony.

"Great, just great," Risa thought to herself, the last thing she wanted to be was alone with this fool but at least it would keep his security more focused on her than Lucas when he had to slip back in.

Stepping out onto the balcony she stepped away from Braun and over to the ledge, perhaps she should jump? Would make for one grand exit. Granted it was no leaving behind a glass slipper but perhaps it would speak volumes; that she would rather leap from a balcony than be alone with him. That would be a blow to his over inflated ego. Taking a slow breath she just rested her hands along the stone railing and looked out over the gardens.

Braun adjusting his tux sleeve before he came up behind, resting his hand on her lower back; god she hated this dress, it left far too much of her skin free to the goons hands to roam over. And did he ever try but Risa stayed calmed and played it coy. Though after a bit she had to find a way to get back to the main room. One good thing about heels is they were easy to catch on the delicate fabric of her gown, in which she did.

"Oh dear, I seemed to have an issue, just a minute and I will be right back," she toyed as she pulled at his bow tie and undid it.

"Why not have your staff bring us out some drinks to relax with and then we can choose an even more private location," she said coyly before she started to saunter off. Braun swallowed slightly and nodded as Risa made her way back towards the main ball room. A relieved look nearly came over her face as she spotted Lucas had returned.

"Let's go before that pompous neanderthal decides to club me over the head and drag me off to a cave," she said quietly as she stepped over to Lucas.

@Wade Wilson No worries man, been there done that, so I totally understand what hell you are going through - make sure they keep an eye on your pancreas, especially if you get a fever that spikes. I had a gallstone slip as it was trying to pass, went to my pancreas and caused all types of hell. (Worst pain of my life and I've had kids) - take your time, your place is secure in the rp as long as you want it. ^^

Argus: Olympian Intelligence

@Oni_ He's usually asleep right now - so probably be another 8 hours before he is up and then classes knowing him - if you haven't heard back in 24 hours, let us know and we'll figure something out from there.
