VanityStorm:
Carter lounged in a chair as he drank is coffee and read some reports. June was across from him, practicing for the second time today. She set down her bow to retrieve her arrows, she tripped over a rope. She growled, cutting it with her saxe. Out of nowhere, a torch dropped. She caught it out of instinct alone.
She stood up, scratching her head and wondering where it went. She was about to give up when a tar coated rope fell out a tree, swinging in front of her. She blinked twice and looked over at Carter who in the middle of a yawn. She wondered, but lit the rope anyway.
It caught nad trailed up the tree before ending under another rope. Was connected to a weight and a pot on the top, suspended on a branch. As the rope burned, the weight burned off and the pot fell, hitting a lever, which cut a catapult string. I shot off somewhere and June heard several more sounds before a spear shot back, cutting a line that fell into a fire that then swung down, down, down, and slapped Carter in the face.
Carter gave a start then threw the rope away. It spun around the porch, hitting a tar cover pole and setting it on fire. Then it burnt through it, going unnoticed by the furiously reading Carter. Suddenly a loud creek caught his attention, along with several hundred pounds of wood rushing down to greet him.
June blinked twice again, then quietly extinguished the torch, hid it in a pond and walked off, whistling a pleasant tune. Carter on the other hand, was counting how many birdies were above his head.
The Hot Springs:
"Yay!" Carter shouted, jumping into the burning hot water.
"Oi, calm down!" Will said, walking out.
"It's a hot spring, and you expect me to calm down? Are you insane?" Carter asked.
"No, you are!" the boys heard from over the wall, dividing the women and men spas.
"Shut it June!" Carter called.
Across the wall, June sunk below the water, her long brown becoming a mop of floating mess. On carter's side, he submerged under water and blew bubbles. Alyss smiled as she watched June mope.
Somehow or another, Will had gotten a reservation at a local hot springs. He had explained he wanted to relax sometime and not take the reports. After all, he was swimming in it.
"So, Carter, what are you doing?" Will asked when he surfaced.
"Trying my best to master the art of making an air bubble underwater. Then mastering the art of water sleeping." Carter stated, taking another deep breathe.
"He's officially insane," Mr. Golden Rabbit said, settling down in the hot water.
"Agreed." Will nodded.
"You know, this is usually the time where Carter pops up and does something random." June commented, peeking through her hair.
"I don't think he can get over here unless he uses the door. After all there is a wall." Alyss smiled, relaxing in the hot water.
As if on cue, Carter came flying through the wall and embedded in the stone wall on the other side of the spring.
"Told ya." June stated, disappearing under water again.
"…" Alyss blinked and sank under water.
Carter groaned and shook his head as he glared on the other side of the wall. Then he straightened his hair. Pulled up his shorts and roared as he tackled the person on the side. Simila yelped as Carter pulled him under water and tried to drown the knight.
By this time, June had found a towel and was watching the idiot s wrestle as Will tried his best to keep water out of his coffee. She laughed and was joined in by Cassandra, and Alyss. June blinked and looked at Cassandra.
"Ummm…aren't you the…" June trailed off.
"Princess, I/we know." Alyss and Cassandra stated.
Horace came out of nowhere and tackled both the men. Carter hit his head on the floor and Simila was flipped up into the air. Cassandra cheered while Alyss laughed.
"Ow." Carter groaned, sinking into the water.
"I guess we can never have an off day." June sighed, shaking her head.
"Depends on who you ask." Will smiled, raising his glass as he and Mr. Golden Rabbit toasted and downed their coffee and slid under the water.
Only to shoot up to the ceiling as Carter grabbed their feet.
Alyss Mainwaring:
Carter sighed as he served himself his nineteenth cup of coffee that day. He then sat down to read reports. He hated doing this, why couldn't Will, or Halt do these! But NOOOOO of course not, they're on a freaking honeymoon with the OFFICALLY married princess and her champion.
He reached for his coffee and took a sip, finding it empty. He growled at this and stared upward, looking at the twitching June who was running around the rafters. He sighed and watched for a moment as she ran up the wall, in a circle on the ceiling, paused, drank some coffee, and ran back down and hugged a random rafter.
"It's my happy fluffy thing!" She shouted.
"I think she's finally gotten as crazy and slash or insane as I am." Carter stated, walking back to the coffee pot for some.
He then returned wearing oven mitts and drinking from a straw he had in his mouth, from the boiling coffee. He smiled as June glared at his as he set the still hot pot in front of his and squeezed in some honey and sugar into the boiling thing.
He grinned as June reached out to touch it, only getting burned. She flopped down into a chair beside him, clearly deflated. He nodded and continued filing, sorting, and generally wanting to kill who ever made reports. Or the man who made a pencil. Whichever came first.
He reached for his coffee pot and found it missing. He glanced around and listened intently. A moment later he heard a scream and then gulping from June's room. He smiled, kicking down her door and staring in amazement.
She was drinking from the STILL boiling coffee, upside-down, while chasing a illusion of bunnies. He blinked again and found her sitting on her bed twitching. Then she was bouncing off the walls. Then running around Carter in a perfect square.
As she made to pass for the umpteenth time, he grabbed her and hoisted her up into the air, her feet walking on nothing. She blinked twice, and stared bawling her eyes out, shining she couldn't run around.
Let's see her, options for shutting her up… No, to violent. No have to clean laundry then. No, can't find my ducktape. Will would kill me if I did that. No, Simila scolded me the last time I did that. The Baron put me in a cell after that. I was strapped to the back of the castle stairs when she got free from that as well… hmmmm…well, in this case the worst-case scenario, they'll have to reattach my arm and I get half my ribs barbequed and forced to do laundry. Whatever. Carter thought, dragging June after him as he walked to the cabinets.
There, he opened it, grabbed a bar of soap, cut it in half and shoved half of it in June's mouth. Then before she could spit it out, her super-glued her lips shut. He nodded and then grabbed her kicking foot and applied a massive amount of super glue on that as well, then he stamped it to the side of the wall. He did the same with the other.
So now, June was standing on the side of a wall, with soap in her mouth. She glared at him, and flipped him the bird and returned to glaring at the cabinets. Her arms were crossed under her chest as she tried to make herself as menacing as possible.
Carter blinked twice, and walked off to prepare more of God's drink. He smiled as he heard his banging on her wall. He then glared hatefully at his reports.
"Dammit." He sighed, as he threw his hands up and then ran them through his hair, finding his bangs in the way.
"Maybe I should put soap in your mouth." A voice growled from behind him.
"…Well… I sure am not playing a freaking harp." Carter said as he was knocked into heaven.
Assassin alternative.
The servant girl yawned as she walked down the hall towards her bedroom chambers in the castle. She has just exited the bathroom and wished to simply return to bed as she knew she had a long day of cooking ahead of her.
A man wearing a long black cloak bumped into her, halting her thoughts. She glared at him for a minute, not recognizing his face. He blinked his piercing blue eyes at her innocently. She was about to leave when she heard a loud echo coming from the throne room.
"The King is dead! King Duncan is dead! There is an assassin among us!" A guard shouted.
She gasped as she turned around to scream for help, realizing who the figure was. However, the figure wrapped his arm around her and took off down a flight of stairs before she could even yelp. From her position, tucked against his chest with a piece of cloth in her mouth, she could freely see his chest, head, and what he was running away from.
She glared at him with her bluish green eyes as he ran. He ignored this and pulled out a dagger form under his cloak. She watched silently as he dispatched a group of four, their blood staining his cloaks edges.
She then recognized one of the guards. She screamed through her gag as she struggled to break free to see the downed soldier. The assassins grip was only tightened as he sheathed his dagger and pulled out a pair of handcuffs made of iron. He put them on her and then tied a rope from the hand cuff chain to her left ankle, going behind her back.
She squirmed in her awkward position as her kidnapper ran past the gate guards. She realized where she was and squirmed all the harder to get out. The iron gate began to descend, pulled by two men.
The assassins hand flicked out and sent two throwing knives into their neck, severing an artery. Then gave a short scream as they went down. And people rushed to the gate to see what caused them. The girls almost cried tears of joy as she saw a Ranger step out of the crowd and nock an arrow on his longbow.
The assassin smiled and slung her onto his back, and holding her by her ankles, covering from his ankles, up. The Ranger growled, but sighted the arrow, aiming carefully. He steadied his breathing. The assassin started sliding under the closing gate as it fell, slamming shut behind him.
At the moment her stood up, the Ranger fired, the arrow shooting through the barred gates holes and striking the assassin in his left shoulder. The man gave a grunt and pulled out the broadhead arrow, before turning around to face the crowd.
"Long may the dead wait." He said, before vanishing along with the servant girl.
The Ranger cursed, throwing his bow down and sitting down on the weapon. He had failed. He had failed the King. He had failed to Kingdom. He had failed the people. And finally he had failed his master and himself.
"DAMMIT!" He shouted, punching the ground in frustration.
