"Okay, that's enough. Give me the bottle." Jaina said firmly.
"Y-you don't know meeee…." Kael'thas replied back, obviously drunk.
"I've known you since before the Third War. Now, give me the wine bottle."
"You can't make me."
"And why is that?"
"I don't work in this bar!"
"I know you don't work in this bar, because it's actually a kitchen. I thought you'd be fine after two drinks, but then you went full emotional white mom and just grabbed the bottle and chugged it!"
"Be-because I am the Prince of the Sin'dorei! I am ROYALTY! I can do whatever I want."
"No you can't. Give me the bottle."
"NEVER!" He screamed, before feebly attempting to run away, only to smack face-first into a wall.
"Here's the bottle." He whispered, passing it to Jaina.
"What in the hell happened over here?" Sgt. Hammer said, walking into the room with her leg in a cast.
"Jaina's being a.." He hiccuped. "She's bein' a bi-"
"Let me stop you right there, Kael. I am not being a...Female dog...At the moment. Go get some sleep. It's nearly 3 A.M."
"Whateeveeeerrrr…." He called back, stumbling to the direction of his room.
"So...What do you feel like doin'?"
"Is there anything to watch or play?"
"I have Cinderella and Inside Out."
"Fine, if that's all we have."
"ATTENTION! ALERT! ALERT!" Nova screamed.
Jaina jumped up. "What's wrong?!"
"We all have a meeting. Go get Kael'thas."
"What's the meaning of this meeting at 5 A.M?!" Kael'thas shouted, his drunkenness having passed.
"We think we finally have enough to assault the palace of the Raven Lord!" Chromie announced.
Nova looked around the room. "Is this enough people?"
"Of course it is! Plus, to help, I recruited some scattered mercenaries!"
Nova glanced at everyone there. Jaina, Kael'thas, Li-Ming, Brightwing, Tyrande, Malfurion, Lunara, Cho'Gall, Greymane, Raynor, Tychus, E.T.C, Johanna, Auriel, Zarya, Xul, Malfurion, Sonya, Chen, Li Li, Arthas, Sgt. Hammer, Murky, Tracer, and herself.
"And let's not forget…" Chromie began.
"THE WOMAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND HERSELF, LO!" The pigtailed girl burst through the door. She looked 17 now, her pigtails nearly reaching her ankles, and her green dress was replaced with green battle armor.
"Damn, Lo. You look intense." Nova commented.
"When do we set out?" Tyrande asked.
"Tomorrow, at-"
"HIIIGH NOOON?" Tracer interrupted.
The entire room just stared at her in confusion.
"I'm the only one who gets that? Seriously?!"
"Tomorrow at 12:00 P.M sharp."
"So it is at high noon?"
"Shut up, Tracer."
Nova pulled a map out from under the table. "Here's the plan," She said. "We melt the gate to get into the palace. Once we do so, we go room-to-room until we find which one Penelope's in."
"That's it?" Li-Ming asked impatiently.
"Whaddya mean by asking that?" Sgt. Hammer said. "The lady already explained it pretty damn well. STORM THE CASTLE!"
'We need to be more organized than that. We have no clue what the innards of this place look like, there could be guards around every corner, and we have a 24/7 chance of perma-death."
"There's the problem. We have no clue on what the inside looks like." Nova sighed.
"I do." Lo said.
The group looked at her.
"Somebody get me a piece of pencil and a paper!" She yelled. Nova grabbed the nearest pencil and some printer paper and handed it to Lo.
"Front yard is pretty self-explanatory. Backyard is the gardens. On the first floor is the kitchen, bathhouse, basement, and training room. On the second floor we have the lounge, art room, guest bedrooms, and a bathroom. Third floor is rooms for the higher ups. Fourth floor is Penelope's room, Penelope's bathroom, and the throne room." She explained, drawing the rooms with meticulous detail.
"How do you know all this?" Jaina asked.
"Mince practically dragged me there to have Penelope yell at me for messing something up. On the way to the throne room, you see a lot of different things."
"Any secret rooms?"
"Not that I know of, but I doubt there aren't any."
"Well then, now we have a map. We're ready. Everyone, go charge up. We have a lot of work to do." Nova announced.
"Charge up?" Chromie asked.
"Go sleep."
"But it's already 5 A.M!" Kael'thas interrupted.
"Then whoever's tired, go take a nap! For the people who actually slept and didn't waste their evening getting drunk or watching children's movies, go train, draw, eat, do whatever. We have a LONG day tomorrow. Live this day like it's your last, and for some of you it will be."
The group shambled out, some going to sleep for God knows how long, some to go do something else.
Brightwing floated up to Nova.
"Friend Nova, what should Brightwing do?"
Nova chuckled. "Whatever you feel like!"
"Friend Brightwing doesn't know what to do for her last day."
"Woah, Brightwing, you don't actually believe you're going to die, do you?"
Brightwing made a whimpering noise.
"Don't freak out, Wing. Even if you do die, which is a low chance, by the way, you'll come back once we fix it."
Brightwing landed on top of Nova's head.
"Are you- Never mind, she's already asleep."
Nova stood for a second, trying to balance the sleeping dragon on her head.
"Uh, guys? Little help? I sorta have a sleeping fae thingy on my head!"
"JUST DEAL WITH IT! SHE'S DONE THAT TO ALL OF US AT LEAST ONCE!" Li-Ming yelled.
"Well, I guess this is how I'm spending the rest of my day." Nova sighed.
Consort: It is kinda awkward. And uncomfortable. I wonder where they keep finding chairs and rope….
"Hi, welcome to the Emerald Dream. Here's your free weedkiller. They never stop growing. Ever."
The Heroes who haven't been found yet will turn up after this thing is fixed. So yeah, Dehaka will turn up, just not in the main course of action.
