This fic was originally a RolePlay written in tiny chunks by 3 people.
This story DOES NOT follow events in Metropolis besides the opening of the
Ziggurat. Tima is human.
ENJOY!!!
Players:
S = Duchess Stagsleap
X = Xalan
S: *Interia Red, the other daughter of Duke Red, lays on her large canopy bed staring out the panaramic window.
The celebrations for the completion of her father's Ziggurat are going on, and Inertia lays in solitude as she watches the golden fireworks outside.
I wish I could be with poppa....I wish I wasn't sick.....I wish father was less paranoid about me getting ill....
Inertia had been confined to her room after the doctor has annouced she had the beginnings of the flu. Interia scowled as she thought of her sister, Tima.
Tima gets everything and anything she wants....
Interia wondered about the extensive festivities that were going on at the moment when she had an impulsive urge.... She opened the large doors to her sleeping chamber...looked around to make sure no guards were present, and headed down to the extra-elite restuarant that served the elegant pastries that had been denied to her ever since her sickness....
Maybe I can annoy Rock too....That would be fun....I hope I don't run into Skunk...(he's such a weirdo)...or even poppa for that matter...........*
X: Creeping though the hallways, Interia kept an eye out for anyone who might herd her back to her bedroom. She could almost smell the pastries now, and taste the soft, flaky, buttery crust, with cool icing pored over and fruity pastes inside.......
It was such thoughts that allowed her to collide straight into Enmy as she turned a corner, the maid/nanny gasping in surprise and shock.
"Ms. Interia! You should be in bed!"
S: *Inertia just stared.....crap.....She had to think of something fast....*
"I-I-I....I heard a noise.."
*Inertia spied a cleaning robot polishing the marble floor. She watched her nanny with her emerald green eyes... Just waiting for that chance to hop over to the robot and bust it's ettiquite switch so it would malfunction and cause a disturbance*
X: Enmy crossed her arms, the Duke's youngest daughter was known for getting into various sorts of trouble, and it was usually up to her to keep the young girl in check.
"Ms. Interia, really! I..." the brown eyed nanny would have contiued, but not for the servant running up to the both of them, gasping for breath as he rattled off some instructions having very little to do with anything. (my explantion, to lazy to think up a real reason, lol!)
Interia took that chance to casually slide over to the cleaning robot and flip the swtich located on the back of the shoulder.........
S: ...There was a loud pop follwed by crashing, as the large robot went totally haywire, knocking over antiques and vases and other expensive objects. Inertia needed to get out of there fast - Her father's floor would soon be swarming with Marduks.
Giggling hysterically, the little blonde-haired child ran down the velvet staircases to the floor which was occupied by the restaurant, "The Hawkeye".
Inertia smiled as she surveyed the luxurious scene infront of her: Gentlemen in the finest suits deep in conversation, beautiful ladies in stunning ballgowns, and well-made waiter robots. The walls were all glass, so one could see almost all of the Main Gate below.
Inertia spied the doors to the kitchens. She had to be careful - Children were usually not allowed in such a fine place, and if her father caught her, she would be in for severe punishment.
The spolied daughter's ears were filled with the cheery sounds of laughter, soft talking, and plates and glasses clinking as she ran towards the kitchen. Light chamber music came from a corner of the restaurant.
Once in the insanely large kitchen, Interia wandered around steathly until she found the dessert area.
"WOW!" Interia couldn't believe how much sugar was infront of her: Expensive marzapan sculptures, pastries from all over the world, geletain molds, and truckloads of chocolate. Tima would be sooo jealous if she knew...but I won't tell her..She's sure to tell poppa...then I'll really be in for it...
Inertia grabbed a Napoleon (A sweet french pastry), and began to savor the rich custard and buttery layers..................
(OOC - Man...I'm hungry now...)
X: (ooc- Arrghh! now you made me hungry! [pic])
..and nearly dropped her pastery in surpise! (not quite, only a fool would drop such a delious buttery treat!) Ducking down behind the large table covered with pastries and other such goodies, and attempted to keep the sudden spurt of laughter out of her voice.
For on the other side of the table, obliouvous to everything, Skunk was stuffing his own face with pasteries! It was so werid, funny and creepy at the same time. (Creepy faced dude!)
Interia tried to think of why in the world he would be here in the kitchens, shouldn't he be out with her poppa at the opening ceremony which was due to start in only 20 mins?
maybe he has a really, really sweet tooth too....... the blonde hair imp thought randomly, trying to stay hidden.
(ooc- and this is getting odd.............)
S: ((ooc - Weeee! This is fun!))
Inertia nibbled at her treat as she slowly, carefully, got out of the kitchen. Inertia had forgotten that she always had to watch out for Skunk while she was indoors because the Secretary of Defense rarely, if ever, went outside.
Sneaking behind counters and tables, Inertia made her way out of the kitchen, stuffing the pockets of her silk dress with chocolate and other little treats.
I guess it's time to go...Enmy is probably looking for me...
Inertia emerged into the restuarant at the bottom of a large staircase that led to a higher level of the restuarant. She spotted a cart with more deserts on them - and these were more lavish than the ones in the kitchen! She quickly gobbled up the petite fours and drank a sip of something that looked liked pepsi (uugghh- it was brandy).
Inertia took a sharp breath in as she heard a familiar chuckle from the top level.
Sitting at a lavish table covered with some the finest food ever imaginable, sat...Pres Boon...Mayor Ryon...an empty chair(Skunk)...and...(you guessed it)...Duke Red!! AND!!! - They were getting ready to leave! When they came down the staircase, they would see her!!!
CRAP!
Inertia had to get out of there fast. She really did not want to get spanked tonight...She dashed under a table, hoping to hide until they left....until Inertia remembered she had the flu...
and
she
sneezed
