William Ascot

"Wake up, sleepyhead," Gilgamesha Ascot's crooning voice said as the car stopped, "We're here."

William Ascot forced himself awake as he saw that indeed, they were at the park where the Midnight Tourrnament was being kept. Slapping himself with his right hand to snap himself into alertness, the boy would then say as he opened the car door, "Thanks Mom, you're the best."

A smile, as Gilgamesha Ascot tossed the boy a fully sheathed sword, saying, "I can't give you one of my magic weapons - Who knows what trouble you'd get into with one of those - but this ought to give you a fighting chance against those who would stand in your way." She wiped a tear from her eye, "I'm so proud of you."

And with that, Ascot got off the car and began walking resolutely towards the centre of the park, thinking: I am not going to fail. I am going to move Heaven and Earth to redress the tragedy that has befallen Vittorio, now that I know it's a possiility.

He noticed that another boy was approaching the Arena's exit, but thought nothing of it; he was focused on getting Andras to help in his plans.

Alexander Ascot

Alexander gazed archly at Alto, unimpressed and no doubt a little offended by his callousness. But he had a reply handy, "Because you're a genius. I may be one as well, but that's immaterial. And I asked for your perspective; a witness report does not capture conclusions you may have made later." His gaze further tightened to something hawkish. "You know, when Vittorio thinks you have something to do with his friends and family's deaths, and has joined Mephisto's to get revenge on you for insultingly inane reasons, you really should show more emotion."

He repeated once more, "Now, Mr. Ganze, what more is there than what I think there is? Because my speculations are that this Demon's attack was a particularly effective attempt to strike at St. Laurel's legacy, and might be further connected to the Academy's declared enemies."

Alexander Ascot

Alexander got off the limousine, impatient to finally encounter Vittorio. But once again, he was sidetracked by the compassionate side he did have, as he saw the unconcious kid being taken care of by the driver. Probably one of the kids Will says the other St. Laurels Students are rescuing. A frown as he approached the driver, flashed his badge, and said, "Can I do anything to help?"

The driver looked at Alexander, then nodded bregrudgingly.

Alexander smiled and said, "Don't worry about your young master, by the way; I'm after another perp entirely. That said, can you tell me more about the kid?"

The driver gave another nod or so, "Well, he's one of the 'bad kids' in St. Laurel's; as far as that place can have bad kids. Alto says he and the others had been meeting and such."

The plot thickens, as my Father used to say, Alexander thought. "I presume Alto is inside the building now?" Another nod at that. Alexander then said, "All right; I'll try and keep out of cases I haven't taken yet until somebody gets seriously hurt. Now, time to go."

And with that, Alexander, presumably with Vernon and Michael in tow, would enter the lobby, where Alto Ganze presumably was. It was then that Alexander would be interrupted by a text message.

Ressurection is Possible. Andras can do it. Will take Ascot to Midnight Tournament; meeting her. - Love, Your Mom.

After taking a second or so to read it, Alexander would say to Alto, "Hello there, I am Alexander Ascot; Juvenile Investigations Officer. I am here to pursue one Vittorio Twinveil, who has made credible threats against your person. My brother, Alexander Ascot, has begun a plan to break Cosmic Law and ressurect Vittorio's dead friends and family, which include several people of your acquaintance. And so, as a good brother, I am tasked with inhibiting any interaction between Vittorio and you, which I can do by using your legal obligations to aid an officer of the law in his investigation."

He then looked at Alto. "And by that, you're not leaving this lobby until you've told me your perspective on the deaths of Geon, Charlotte, Billy, Carus, as well as the two gardeners at St. Laurel's; the Twinveils. Same for giving me clues to the Demon who has killed them."

Guys?

Persona in Wonderland: A Persona RP.

Guys, I'm really sorry, and I had fun with you all, but I am just bored with this RP; no offense meant as the problem is with me. So, I am pulling out; I've discussed it with The Jest beforehand. Best of luck to everyone!

@The 42nd Gecko, And yes, that means that we are going to split into managable groups later on.

@Rai@WXer@Drifting Pollen@LordVoldemort

Your turns; although Drifting Pollen does have IRL to consider.

William Ascot

William Ascot would stir awake, remembering a pretty blue-haired girl with an eyepatch in his dreams. Getting up from bed, he found that he was still in his St. Laurel's clothing; a sign that his mother knew that the boy wasn't staying in the family house for the entire night. He would then put on his socks and shoes and go downstairs, where Gilgamesha Ascot, the mother of all three Ascot siblings, was in her shirt, jacket, jeans and shoes. The blonde woman would smile at her son, then, saying, "Do you finally remember your friend? The holder of 'Perfect Alexandria'?"

Ascot nodded and said, "Yes; she can possibly defy Death with the right combination of cards. She may have mentioned the 'Midnight Tournament' back in the library. Or was it someone else?"

Gilgamesha Ascot smiled as she extended her hand and opened her palm, revealing the car keys. "Want me to drive you there? Just sleep on the way; you need your rest."

A faint smile. "Thanks, Mom!"

GM Post

It was the next day, and the group would be called to the Throne Room once more. Below the Basileus and Bassilisa was a tall, thin man in a formal outfit of black-and-white, with a Blue, Red, and White Tricolor badge that Lukas would recognize as a French Republican Tricolore. Before anyone could speak, Emperor Michael would say, "Everyone, this is Ambassador Louis Perrot of the French Republic from the World known as 'Glory of France'. He has come to us with news of one of the Princesses of Heart; as well as offers of alliance against the Heartless threat, so please treat him with the respect due to a diplomat."

Lukas might feel as though that last sentence was dealt directly at him, which it was; Basileus/Emperor Michael knew about how Lukas' world resembled the Original Timeline in that the Germans hated 'Liberal Republican Frenchimen'. Nevertheless, he trusted the Prussian-Texan to not do anything that would endanger diplomatic procedure; the man clung tightly to honor; this was admirable.

Now, the Frenchman in diplomatic clothes would say, in an elegant musical tone: "Greetings. I am Monseiur Louis Perrot of the Grand French Republic, which avoided the atrocities and industrialized murder of the original timeline and actually acted according to Sanity and Reason. And I have news of the 'Luminous-based Metahumans' that the more...romantically-minded and less clinically exact among the people of the Worlds call the 'Princesses of Heart'."

He would then pull out some sort of magitech device, whose glowing components were covered up by polymers and materials produced with pure technology to make it resemble magitech as little as possible. Pressing the button, he'd show a hologram of a young French sheperdess in traditional sheperdess clothing. "This is Adelle Le Agathe, one of our citizens from a village in the Franco-Swiss border. A woman of exceptional purity of character and mildness of temprament, she has demonstrated aptitude in Light-based Learnable Talents, which the romantically-minded and less clincially exact term as 'Magic'."

"Adelle Le Agathe has been closely watched by Agents of the French Republic since you alerted us to the existence of Luminous-based Metahumans," the Ambassador continued, "And if the danger she is in is real, and if she can truly end the Heartless threat for a lasting period, we are ready to ask her to go with the...delegation you wish to send."

The Basileus smiled indulgently, but Lukas can see that this was a mask to hide his true feelings. "Thank you for your aid," Emperor Michael would say to Ambassador Louis. "It is genuinely looked-for in such dark times, and due to the urgency, we will send the delegation via Gummi Ship immediately."

And with that, a rumbling noise can be hard in the Palace Grounds; the unmistakable and obvious sound of a magitech vessel hovering overhead with no magical muffler. With no ado, Damianos would raise his wand as flamboyantly as possible, and send out a hologram of a multicolored Gummi Ship the size of a small Corvette.

"This," the Wizard would say, "Is the Party - or Parties - Gummi Ship. Despite being a diplomatic vessel, it is equipped with Reflector Shields, a Cloaking Device, and powerful Gummi Railguns and Magitech Lasers. It is also capable of Orbital Bombardment on stun. Ambassador Louis will be going with you on this ship, by the way."

"Some of us are over here." Orpheus said from his place on the grass. It was probably rude to listen, but he couldn't very well be expected to not listen. That would be like asking water not to flow. Besides, that guy in black had shown up and the look of that coat put him on edge. That was surprising, he didn't think just the sight of something so mundane could effect him like that. "Though, I can't be sure if we count for the keyblade thing. I don't have one. She has a gun." He said, pointing to the chemist. Then, he turned his attention to the horned boy and considered him. "I'm not sure what you have. Do you have a gun too? You knew what hers was..."

His babbling was cut off by the loud, echoing clearing of a throat from Orpheus's open door. Standing there was the maid he had spoken with earlier. "Excuse me, sir." She said. "But your first course is ready."

"Bring it out here. I'll have it out here." He shouted back, waving her over. She signed, walked back into the room, and came back rolling a cart the bumped and jostled over the grass. Orpheus looked at everyone in the garden. "Anybody want some? I'll be honest, I wasn't planning on having more than a few bites."@Rai@LordVoldemort@Drifting Pollen

@Gentlemanvaultboy

"I'd love some!" Tocsax said warmly, before going to the cart. He would then look at Baqar and Eli and say, "It's almost late afternoon. I think that we should go back to our rooms."

And indeed, the shadows were lengthening.

((Sorry for the short post; I have a long one just later.))

@Letter Bee Mmm. "Where we are" doesn't matter to me so much as "when we get the plot moving" and "when we get the party split up into manageable groups". I've never really seen a roleplay with a large group that keeps everyone in one party survive very long. The more people, the exponentially longer each posting rotation takes.

@The 42nd Gecko

I've managed a group this large for a year before, but yes, each posting round does take very long.
