BFM rp?=)

[Kengplant]

"Yea actually. They were handing out fliers." he passed his to Kohla. "Happening this afternoon."

((whoot! short post!)

[Dolly-Violet.Knightess-Mage]

((Nice one,Kengplant))

Jeran nodded off to his sister,and quickly bathed and changed,checking the sundial in his room every five minutes."Just...want to be punctual...",Jeran kept repeating to himself.Within an hour or so,his suit was on and ready,and his fur was cleaned and straightened.When he looked in the mirror,he could hardly beleive it was him he was looking at.Lisha came in...yet again.She really did have a fond spot for Jeran's comfortable room.

"So Jer,ready to hear,yet again,Skarl complaining about how it wasn't our kingdome's fault about the stupid orb in the first place...or are you still considering my suicide idea."Jeran chuckled at his sister's comment,then frowned at her,giving her the signal she should savor the tongue.

Kohla skimmed down the flier. "I guess I'll go," he said. "It may help me decide whether this Darigan guy's really any better than Kass." He handed the flier back. "I'm not sayin' nothin' bad about Darigan, but it's hard to tell sometimes..."

[Kengplant]

"Oh, I'm pretty sure Darigan will be quite fine. And I'm not saying that just because I'm a guard and it's my duty. I was under Darigan's command before Kass was in power. Before he went mad from the orb. I've since met with him again since his return to power. There is a deffinate diffrence in him since just after we had retrieved the orb. He seems... more himself then at that time. As odd as that might sound."

[Dolly-Violet.Knightess-Mage]

Lisha nodded at Jeran's motion and left the room,making sure Jeran saw her giggles as she left.'What was that all about?',Jeran thought.Though,the surprise came to him when he looked down....

he had forgotten the pants portion of his suit.When he finally found where it was,obviously Morris,Count Boris,Kayla,and Lisha,had had some fun with the Meridellian flag pole that stood outside.His pants were up at the highest point of the tower,and when he looked down,Morris and Boris, Lisha and Kayla,stood there laughing their demented heads off.Jeran growled,then chuckled to himself."Nice try,kguys..".he called out....before pulling out a spare pair of pants,the same exact copy of the ones that had been placed on the flagpole.Morris gaped,same with Boris,Kayla,and Lisha.

"How did you?...you couldn't have.....x.x",was all Morris could say in reply.Jeran just shut the window on them,and pulled on the rest of his suit,taking a glance at himself in the mirror just one more time,and finally heading down to the banquet hall.

When he got there...almost all the Darigan representitives,including Darigan himself,were there.

[Kengplant]

((Moving a little fast there Dolly. Darigain hasn't even made the announcement yet which is happening shortly after lunch. Bit early to be having dinner right now

I'll just skip ahead some time and try to even out the time.))

It hadn't been long since Lunelupe's shift ended and Kohla had returned to his buisness long ago. He assumed they would probably run into eachother at the announcement. Lunelupe had not yet had time to change out of his uniform and was half way through a bowl of soup when a trumpet sounded outside. That was the call indicating that all who intended to attend should begin making their way over. So with one final, a slightly painful hot gulp of his soup, lunelupe set off into the streets from his home for the second time that day.

The square was already busy. Mostly with guards who had arrived early. Lunelupe waved to some of his fellow protectors on the other side of the square. Darigan was nowhere in sight, though Lunelupe suspected he was no where far away either.

((sorry about the god moding there sam, just trying to catch up with Dolly))

[Dolly-Violet.Knightess-Mage]

((I should be the one who's sorry.I just thought,in order to get moving (I totally forgot about the announcement Darigan was supposed to make,stupid me,busy,busy,busy..),we may have to speed things up.Silly me,I totally over did it.XD))

Jeran looked up.More guests were arriving.Since they were Darigan,a majority of them could fly.It practically 'rained guests',Lisha had said earlier that evening.Jeran turned to see Skarl standing at the giant doorways of the Castle,of course,for security measures,guarded by two draik guards,Jeran at his side,looking as formal as ever.When a certain Darigan lupe Jeran recognized earlier that day appeared,he stopped mopeing in his one place by Skarl.

That lupe from the market place,Jeran thought.His train of thought sort of stopped dead on the tracks,still wondering 'Would Lord Darigan actually let peasants come to this banquet?'.Then Jeran's train of thought got back on the road (silly puns) when he remembered the darigan lupe was a guard.Jeran almost thougth the Darigan's that were entering were staring at him because he was blushing.They continued walking in,ignoring Jeran's gaze,and when the lupe finaly came into clear view,the guests moving away now into the castle.

((Again,sorry about the jumping tracks,and also sorry if I had any sort of power-playing stuff in my reply.I've been really busy since we moved,I'm starting school tommorow,so yes,very very busy.><))

[OG Loc]

Kohla walked in, sighing. He thought about what Lunelupe had said earlier to him about Darigan. He wanted to think that Darigan was a good guy, but it could have simply been an act to gain power from the start. He saw Lunelupe and hurried over. "Hello again," he said.

[Kengplant]

((we're not quite at the castle yet. But we will be soon Dolly . So just hold on with the interacting with us until we can catch up with you please. I'll skip through this as lightly as I can.))

"Hello. Had a nice morning?" replied Lunelupe. He spotted a Uni across the square. Ah, good to see Terse had made it. He thought to himself. She was normally quite good at attending these things. He supposed it was because, as a medic she found it just as much her duty to be there as he did as a guard.
The conversation with Kohla never got much further as the tumpets went into their high and mighty march in song and Lord Darigan stood up behind a pedestal. The speach was not long but I do not feel like typing it out/making up exactly what he said so here are the basic outlines:

- Banquet at meridell that evening.
- Some guards required to attend. Any guard who is not on duty or can find a replacement for the night is welcome, but not required, but encouraged to come. (<-- mixed message. Just nod and pretend you get it. Or just accept that it's "come if you feel like it and have the time)
-some other stuff about relations between the two kingdoms
-escort will be appointed for Darigan for when entering and exiting (though this wasn't said it was mostly for show. But that's politics for you)

After the speech was done Lunelupe turned to Kohla. "I'd love to stay and chat ome more but it looks like I'll be busy. I'll see you another time." and with that he hurried over to the where guards were registering to say they were going (all were welcome yes, but it had to be ensured that enough guards would remain to keep the city secure and safe.)

He then hurried home and fished out his dress armour for the second time in the past 24hrs. It still needed a bit of touching up which he hastily, but carefully and skeptically, did. As he finnished pulling on the last cuff around his wrist there was a knock at the door. It was the messanger mynci of that morning.

"Hello again. Did you need something of me?" greeted Lunelupe.

"Lord Darigan does. Do you have a mount of somesort?"

"I have a uni friend who MIGHT be willing."

"Well, if your friend does agree then you are to be part of Lord Darigan's escort when entering and exiting Meridell. Please contact you friend and let us know a.s.a.p."

"Of course."

And then the Mynci flew off, presumably to inform the other members of the escort.

((I had permission from my sister to use her Uni in this post. Though I don't think she knows quite yet how I intend to try fitting her character into the banquet XD Ah well, she'll find out in the morning.))

[Dolly-Violet.Knightess-Mage]

((That's sort of why I apologized for the powerplay in my earlier post.I thought,the way you described it in your earlier posts that you were already at the castle.So that's why I thought I may haved moved too fast and apologized for any sort of powerplay in it.Adding your sis's charrie is alright with me,as hopefully with everyone else active on the role play.=))

Jeran turned to see Skarl head inside.He lifted one thick,brown eyebrow up with curiousity,but then settled when he saw Skarl only wanted to make sure the guards understood not to attack any threatening looking darigans.They had been so tense in the war,they had forgotten how to react politley to their rivals.Even if it meant bowing to their leader.Jeran sort of shuddered at the thought of all of Meridell having to bow to Darigan,while he hid an evil laugh behind his thick,black robe.The thought bubble dissappeared when Lisha popped up behind her brother."EVerything will be okay...don't worry.",she said,rubbing her brother's shoulders.Hard to beleive she could actually reach up to his shoulders,him being quite a tall knight.When Jeran realized she was standing on Morris' head to get that tall,he scholded her,and she immediatley apologized to Morris.Older brother's can be soo much like their mothers...Lisha thought.((xD))

[UrchinUnicorn (U.U.)]

Terse headed home. The streets were full. Mostly people heading back after the meeting. She reached her house and went inside. It was just the way she had left it (big surprise). She sat down to rethink her plans for her little vacation. Perhaps now was not the best time.

There was a knock on her door. She opened it up to see Lunelupe standing there.

"Hi. Long time no see." she greeted.

((I had Keng's permission to throw lunlupe in there.))

[Dolly-Violet.Knightess-Mage]

((Okie then,was just wondering how you managed to fit powerplay in there.))

Jeran walked inside.Only a few Darigan representitives stood near the doorway.He walked deeper inside the halls of Meridell Castle and occasionally ran across a Meridell citezen or Noble or greeted a Darigan representitive himself.He was surprised he didn't see that guard lupe that he saw from the market place in here,all the socializing was going on in the castle.But then again,the darigan guard from before obviously didn't seem like much of a socializer.Noble women,mostly Meridellian,urged Jeran to relax and chat with them,but he simply brushed them off.The noblemen,both Meridell and Darigan alike,didn't seem to like the attention Jeran received from the ladies.The lupe-knight ignored their stares, and walked back outside,only,to his dismay,to see more Darigan's arriving.

[Kengplant]

(( www.neopets.com/art/storytell.phtml squeeee!! Did you guys see the new story telling competition? It's so close to what I picture in this RP ;D))

"Hey Terse, sorry to drop in on you like this." began lunelupe. His gleaming armour made it quite apparent that something was about. "You see, I was selcted, probably at random, to escort Darigan to Meridell castle. But they want the escort to be mounted so, err.. would you mind? But if you are willing we have to leave quikly."

[Dolly-Violet.Knightess-Mage]

Jeran sighed.The Darigan's population had increased quite alot more than he had thought.Since more and more pets are being able to be painted Darigan,Meridell will soon become a little speck compared to all the Darigan's up there.Jeran breathed inward,followed by another sigh of dismay,but stopped and perked up,when he felt somone put their hand on his shoulder....

Surprisingly enough,it was the Court Dancer.

((Since no one's playing her,I'll do her.She's just...kind of gonna be there 'early' for the rest of Darigan's escorts to arrive,and she's just gonna be there to seduce Jeran...nothing bad or anything,don't worry,I don't do that.0.o,

and yes,Kengplant,I did see the story competition,nice.))

"Ya it will be ok, I'll just go grab my things that I will need for it.". Terse went inside and came back with a purple blanket that had the citadel crest/shield/whateveryouwanttocallit on it and a black saddle and reins. "Hop on and let's go. Just don't make me do all the flapping."
