[00:15] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[After eating a pleasant meal grace of the Palace cooks, Kateb adresses you.]]
[00:16] <[Multi]_Kateb> Mahoumi, I believe you still have to select a room. Aside from that, though, I think our business for the day is concluded. After giving Mahoumi her room key, I will retire, and will see you all tomorrow.
[00:16] * [Multi]_Kateb ushers the Prime Daughters out of their space and into their quarters.
[00:17] * @[twi]_Rozlin curtsies politely and turns to head to her room
[00:18] <[Multi]_Kateb> Good night, Princess of Aquisur.
[00:18] <@[twi]_Rozlin> Good Night
[00:22] * [Co]_River leaves without a word
[00:23] * [Multi]_Kateb sighs, a slightly worried expression on his face
[00:24] * Reimu (Hei@d216-232-242-198.bchsia.telus.net) Quit (Quit: And then there was none~)
[00:24] * Suwako (Hei@d216-232-242-198.bchsia.telus.net) has joined #maid
[00:26] * [BS]_Mahoumi seems like she's not sure she heard that correctly
[00:26] <[BS]_Mahoumi> . . . select?
[00:26] <[Multi]_Kateb> Look around and see which of the empty rooms here pleases you best. It will be yours.
[00:27] <[Multi]_Kateb> You can see the one's that have been taken by Rozlin and Jade.
[00:28] <[BS]_Mahoumi> Oh.
[00:29] * [BS]_Mahoumi looks hesitantly over the line of doors
[00:29] <[BS]_Mahoumi> . . . which one am I supposed to pick?
[00:30] <[Seth]_Shizuka> they're all the same
[00:30] <[Multi]_Kateb> Look inside before choosing, if you'd like to.
[00:30] <[Multi]_Kateb> They are all, indeed, more or less the same.
[00:31] <[Multi]_Kateb> The view is the most variable thing.
[00:31] * [BS]_Mahoumi opens the door to the nearest room and looks inside for a few moments; then moves on to the next room without actually stepping inside
[00:32] <[BS]_Mahoumi> I-I'm sorry, I really don't know which one I'm supposed to take
[00:33] <[Multi]_Kateb> Choose.
[00:33] <[Multi]_Kateb> There is no wrong choice.
[00:35] * [BS]_Mahoumi seems inordinately distressed over the simple concept of choosing a room. With Shizuka watching however, she eventually points to the room dead in the middle; seemingly simply at random.
[00:37] <[Multi]_Kateb> Very well.
[00:37] * [Multi]_Kateb produces a key from one of his robe's pockets and hands it to Mahoumi.
[00:37] <[Multi]_Kateb> This key will open your room and the door to this common area. It will not open any other rooms.
[00:37] * [BS]_Mahoumi nods
[00:37] <[BS]_Mahoumi> Thank you
[00:38] <[Multi]_Kateb> The honor is mine.
[00:38] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Figures you'd chose the middle one.
[00:38] * [BS]_Mahoumi turns around to Shizuka
[00:38] <[BS]_Mahoumi> Why's that?
[00:39] <[Seth]_Shizuka> You seem like the type of person who wouldn't or couldn't make a decision
[00:41] * [BS]_Mahoumi blushes in embarassed silence
[00:41] * [Multi]_Kateb says, carefully,
[00:41] <[Seth]_Shizuka> So of course you'd chose the one that requires the least resistance, dead centre right?
[00:41] * [Multi]_Kateb then hushes up
[00:44] * [BS]_Mahoumi lowers her head and ducks off to her room, closing the door behind her
[00:45] * [Multi]_Kateb moves again to speak, hestianly:
[00:46] <[Multi]_Kateb> By your leave, Princess of Oyashima, I will retire. I'll see you tomorrow.
[00:46] <[Seth]_Shizuka> hmph
[00:46] <[Seth]_Shizuka> good night then
[00:46] * [Multi]_Kateb bows, and leaves the room, closing the door behind him.
[00:51] * @[twi]_Rozlin hums to herself as she looks about her room
[00:51] * [Co]_River opens her window and peeks outside
[00:51] <[Seth]_Shizuka> well then, I will be retiring for the night as well
[00:51] * [Seth]_Shizuka pulls up her fan to her face
[00:51] <[Seth]_Shizuka> good night
[00:56] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Outside Rozlin's window, she sees the mountains, not to far off, and the long drop to the ground. If she took teh time, she could count the stone blocks that lead up to her room.]]
[00:57] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[She can see the other PD's windows off to her left.]]
[00:57] * @[twi]_Rozlin yawns a bit and starts to change into a nightgown
[00:59] * [Co]_River opens the door to the common area slightly and checks to see if anyone is still outside
[01:00] * [Seth]_Shizuka heads back into her room just as River opened her door
[01:01] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Thus, there is no one in teh comon area.]]
[01:01] * [Seth]_Shizuka nods with satisfaction that her box had finished transforming the room into a similar style of her nation
[01:01] * [BS]_Mahoumi starts unpacking the few belongings in her bag. Between the bare necessities, there is no space for anything to brighten the spartan room. When she is done, the room looks just as vacant and empty as it always had, save for a small picture frame on the desk.
[01:03] * [Co]_River closes the door again and takes out the books she had brought with her, all in her native language and encrypted
[01:03] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Thus, the first night of the Prime Daughters' residence passes, rather uneventfully.]]
[01:04] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[The sun rises, as it tends to do, the next morning. It creeps in through the windows, if you didn't think to close the curtains.]]
[01:05] * [Seth]_Shizuka is now known as [O]

[01:07] * [BS]_Mahoumi stares silently at the light creeping across the floor from her bed, making no move to get up.
[01:07] * [Seth]_Shizuka rolls away from the light, frowning in her sleep
[01:08] * @[twi]_Rozlin wakes up gracefully and goes to the mirror, starting to brush her hair
[01:08] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Gijinka.... close the curtains...
[01:09] * [Seth]_Shizuka mumbles while retreating under the blankets
[01:12] * [Co]_River wakes up as she had slept, perfectly still
[01:12] * [Seth]_Shizuka tosses around some more before throwing off her blanket in frustration
[01:12] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Dammit Gijika, I said close the curtains!
[01:15] <[BS]_Mahoumi> . . . is someone yelling?
[01:16] <[Seth]_Shizuka> ... Oh, right
[01:16] * @[twi]_Rozlin turns toward the sound of Shizuka yelling and humphs before returning to her hair
[01:16] * [Seth]_Shizuka sighs as she remembers where she was now
[01:17] * [Co]_River sits up and slides out of the foreign bed, then goes to do morning light calisthenics
[01:19] * [BS]_Mahoumi sits up against the back of her bed, arms around her knees and staring at the footboard; really not sure what to do
[01:20] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Grrr stupid emporer
[01:20] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Stupid parents and their debt
[01:21] * [Seth]_Shizuka hops out of bed with a loud thump
[01:21] * [Multi]_Kateb (multiball@par1288.urh.uiuc.edu) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[01:21] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Stupid servants and their not being allowed to join me
[01:21] * [Co]_River minds the noises coming from beyond her door as she does push ups
[01:22] * [Seth]_Shizuka starts mumbling louder as she lists out her grievances
[01:22] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Sworn to serve me till the end my ass
[01:23] * [Seth]_Shizuka stomps over to the window pushing it open
[01:23] <[Seth]_Shizuka> This entire situation is stupid. I want to go home!
[01:25] * [Co]_River realizes that all of her companions are annoying one way or another
[01:26] * [BS]_Mahoumi looks over to the door to make sure it's locked. SHe'd rather not have to talk to Shizuka right now
[01:26] * [Co]_River stops her morning exercise before breaking a sweat to go get changed
[01:26] * [Seth]_Shizuka points out of her window and a small glowing white object flys out of her finger.
[01:26] <[Seth]_Shizuka> !tempadd Shizuka 2 2 4 2 3 2
[01:26] <Koakuma[g]> Shizuka has been added to the list. *Bow*
[01:27] * @[twi]_Rozlin finishes with her hair and starts getting into her dress
[01:28] <[Seth]_Shizuka> This entire country is stupid! I'm going home!
[01:30] * [Seth]_Shizuka shouts just as the ball expands into the large spider from earlier clinging onto the wall of the palace
[01:30] * [BS]_Mahoumi covers her ears and slides under the blankets
[20:54] * [Co]_River begins on the lengthy and uninterruptable process of putting her hair back into braids and buns.
[20:55] * @[twi]_Rozlin was working on getting dressed into her fancy dress
[21:03] * @[twi]_Rozlin eventually steps out into the common area and looks to see who else is there
[21:03] * [Seth]_Shizuka climbs down the spider's back causing it to screech in response before directing it down the wall and towards the palae walls
[21:03] * Second_Sun (Imperial@205.250.209.85) has joined #maid
[21:04] * [Co]_River (Imperial@142.179.120.72) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:06] * [Co]_River (Imperial@205.250.209.85) has joined #maid
[21:07] * @[twi]_Rozlin flinches a bit hearing the screech and goes to her window to look for the source of the noise
[21:07] * Second_Sun (Imperial@205.250.209.85) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:08] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Sticking your head out the window, you very quickly notice Shizuka riding a spider down the wall towards the lower stories' roof.]]
[21:09] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[You also hear some cries coming from various guards who have taken stock of the situation.]]
[21:09] <@[twi]_Rozlin> What in the...Just where do you think you're going there!?
[21:09] * @[twi]_Rozlin shouts down at Shizuka
[21:10] * [Co]_River peers out her window as she goes onto her second braid
[21:11] * [Seth]_Shizuka ignores Rozlin and continues her march towards the wall
[21:12] * @[twi]_Rozlin stares dumbly in disbilief at the scene
[21:12] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Some guards seem to be scrambling now, some taking defensive potisions and some running inside.]]
[21:13] * [BS]_Mahoumi wraps the pillow around her head and waits for the noise to go away. She isn't prepared to deal with something like this already. Not on the first day.
[21:13] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[It is not long before running steps are head coming up the staircase.]]
[21:14] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[You hear knocking on the door of Kateb's office.]]
[21:15] * [Seth]_Shizuka points at the guards below causing the spider to screech again and release a stream of webbing at the guards ensnaring them in that position. She and her spider had reached the ground and started scrambling towards the front gate
[21:15] <[Multi]_Kateb> ((Roll skill for that))
[21:16] <[Seth]_Shizuka> !statroll skl
[21:16] <Koakuma[g]> Shizuka rolled a 5: 5 x [4 skl] = 20
[21:17] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Kateb's office door is heard to open and close. You catch snippets of conversation:]]
[21:18] <[Multi]_Kateb> [["Sir! there's a ~~~~~"...."WHAT?! Do you have any idea who's~~"...."It appears to have~~"... "WHAAAT?"]]
[21:18] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[The door to Kateb's office bursts open. Hasty, running footsteps are heard going down the staicase.]]
[21:21] * [Seth]_Shizuka and her spider are starting to climb over the palace walls, having bound all the guards in her way with webs and faintly you can hear her shouting more commands
[21:23] * Cypher (Radiation@142.179.120.72) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[21:23] * Third_Eye (Radiation@142.179.120.72) has joined #maid

[21:24] <[Multi]_Kateb> What do you think you are DOING?!
[21:24] <[BS]_Mahoumi> Why me . . . why me . . .
[21:25] * [Co]_River watches with some amusement at the drama on the ground
[21:25] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[More guards are ammassing on the ramparts, nets and spears in hand.]]
[21:27] * [Co]_River finishes her hair maintenance and moves onto getting dressed
[21:27] <@[twi]_Rozlin> ...
[21:27] * @[twi]_Rozlin continues staring
[21:32] <[Seth]_Shizuka> What does it look like I'm doing?!
[21:32] <[Seth]_Shizuka> I'm going home!
[21:32] <[Multi]_Kateb> I'm afraid that I cannot allow that.
[21:33] <[Multi]_Kateb> Will you come with me to my office?
[21:33] * [Co]_River finishes getting dressed and leaves her room for the common area
[21:37] * [Co]_River knocks on Rozlin's door
[21:37] * @[twi]_Rozlin turns to the door
[21:37] <@[twi]_Rozlin> y-yes?
[21:38] <[Co]_River> Open up.
[21:38] * [Seth]_Shizuka pulls down her eye
[21:38] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Denied!
[21:38] * [Seth]_Shizuka continues to climb over the wall
[21:39] * [Multi]_Kateb gives a slight sigh at this and makes a signal.
[21:40] * @[twi]_Rozlin opens the door
[21:40] <[Multi]_Kateb> !roll d6
[21:40] <Koakuma[g]> [Multi]_Kateb rolled a d6 : 5
[21:40] <[Seth]_Shizuka> !statroll skl
[21:40] <Koakuma[g]> Shizuka rolled a 1: 1 x [4 skl] = 4
[21:40] * @[twi]_Rozlin seems somewhat shaken
[21:40] <[Co]_River> Enjoying the show?
[21:40] <[Multi]_Kateb> (( (5+3) * 3 = 24))
[21:41] <@[twi]_Rozlin> ...
[21:42] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[An energy ring surrounds the spider's legs and contracts, binding them. It begins to screech loudly.]]
[21:42] * [Co]_River steps into Rozlin's room on her way to look out the window
[21:42] * [Multi]_Kateb shouts the order "Secure the girl, but do not harm her in any way. She is royalty and my guest."
[21:42] * [Multi]_Kateb mounts the stairs to the rampart.
[21:44] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Guards quickly but hesitantly pull Shizuka off her spider, tyring to be firm and gentle at the same time. Some draw swards, but wonder if they should point them at Shizuka. The military never was known for its tact.]]
[21:45] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Let go of me!
[21:45] <[Seth]_Shizuka> I said let go fo me!
[21:45] * [Seth]_Shizuka trys to struggle fruitlessly against the guards
[21:45] * [Multi]_Kateb appears shortly on the ramparts.
[21:46] * [Co]_River gazes down at the scuffle from Rozlin's window
[21:46] <[Multi]_Kateb> Shizuka, this manner of theatrics is totally unnecessary and VERY unbecoming.
[21:46] * @[twi]_Rozlin moves to the window with River
[21:46] <[Seth]_Shizuka> I don't care, I want to go home!
[21:46] <@[twi]_Rozlin> just what does she think she's doing...
[21:47] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[He seems to consider saying something more, but restrains himself.]]
[21:47] <[Multi]_Kateb> \me then says,
[21:47] <[Multi]_Kateb> Four guards, escort us to my office.
[21:48] <[Co]_River> Will you do this too?
[21:48] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Four guars quickly fall in rank around Kateb and Shizuka, and then begin the procession.]]
[21:48] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[The guards stare straight ahead, but have spears at their sides, in marching position.]]
[21:49] <[Co]_River> It would amuse me if you did.
[21:49] * [Seth]_Shizuka keeps trying to pull away but the guards have a tight grip on her
[21:49] <@[twi]_Rozlin> Of course not
[21:49] <@[twi]_Rozlin> I would never sully myself in such a way
[21:49] * [Co]_River gazes down with hands in sleeves and a small smirk
[21:50] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[The clank of the soldiers feet dies away, only to be heard again some minutes later coming up the staircase.]]
[21:50] * [desu]_Thirsha_ (chatzilla@pD9530956.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined #maid
[21:50] <[Co]_River> How will you go home then?
[21:52] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[The rithym of the marching stops outside Kateb's office. Kateb says, "Do not permit anyone in my office until I come out of it wit hher highness here. This is an absolute order."]]
[21:52] * [desu]_Thirsha (chatzilla@pD953037D.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:52] * [desu]_Thirsha_ is now known as [desu]_Thirsha
[21:53] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Kateb pulls Shizuka into his office and sits her abruptly down into a chair infront of his desk before circling back behind it and biginning to rummage in his drawer.]]
[21:53] <[Multi]_Kateb> I have something that I think you may want to see.
[21:53] <[desu]_Thirsha> [from the distance the loud cries of strange beasts can be heard as multible large creatures sail through the skies toward the palace]
[21:54] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[He produces a small envelope, very lavish, on which a broken wax seal bearing the royal crest of Oyashima can be seen.]]
[21:54] <[Multi]_Kateb> One of the guards was caught trying to smuggle this into you. He has since been reprimanded.
[21:54] * [Multi]_Kateb hands the envelope to Shizuka.
[21:54] * [Seth]_Shizuka stays silent burning holes into Kateb with her eyes
[21:54] <[Multi]_Kateb> Go on. Read it.
[21:54] <[Seth]_Shizuka> hmph!
[21:55] * [BS]_Mahoumi lifts the pillow away from her head to find the noise has died down
[21:55] * [Seth]_Shizuka snatches the letter
[21:55] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[It reads:]]
[21:55] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[To our dearest daughter and First Princess, Shizuka Kazue:
[21:55] <[Multi]_Kateb> We hope that your life at the Capital Palace is going well so far. It was hard for us to let you go, but ultimately we thought it would be best for the welfare of the Kingdom. We know you understand.
[21:56] <[Multi]_Kateb> We're sending you this letter to tell you that some important trade agreements are being brokered between some of the Provinces, and it's of the utmost importance that Oyashima recieve certain amenities, for which we've been lobbying for some time.
[21:56] <[Multi]_Kateb> We're hoping that you might be able to use your unique position and the influence it carries to pull the winds of favor towards our great nation. We pray you understand; the future of the Kingdom rests in large part on the future of these agreements, and we know you'll do act in your homeland's best interest.
[21:56] <[desu]_Thirsha> [large winged beasts like wyvrens or pterodactyls begin to screech and bellow as they circle and begin to land outside the palace]
[21:56] <[Multi]_Kateb> With Love,
[21:56] <[Multi]_Kateb> and is signed by the hand of the King and Queen of Oyashima.]]
[21:57] * [Co]_River leaves Rozlin with the question and returns to her room
[21:57] <[Seth]_Shizuka> ...
[21:57] * [Multi]_Kateb stares at Shizuka all the while she's reading.
[21:58] * [Seth]_Shizuka tears up the letter with a cry of frustration
[21:58] * @[twi]_Rozlin shakes her head a bit as she redoes her hair
[21:58] <[Seth]_Shizuka> and what were you doing reading my mail anyways?!
[21:58] * [Multi]_Kateb sighs at this.
[21:59] <[desu]_Thirsha> [out of all the other beasts there is a particular one of lighter color that bears on it's back an ornate carriage covered in silks and beads. The fliers of the other beasts dismount and begin to escort someone from the carriage]
[21:59] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[He seems to choose his words carefully before speaking.]]
[22:00] <[Multi]_Kateb> The Prime Daughters are in a very peculiar position. They will have all manner of influences lobbying on them at once, some of which will doubtless encourage the Coalition's destruction. I, at all costs, must prevent that.
[22:01] <[Multi]_Kateb> As a result, I have taken the precaution of screening any incoming communications directed at you and your fellow Prime Daughters.
[22:01] <[Multi]_Kateb> Your parents, obviously, were aware of that, and were trying to reach you in secret, in the hopes that I wouldn't know what you and they were up to.
[22:03] * [desu]_Thirsha dismounts and approaches the gates following her entourage
[22:04] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Fine, whatever. Stupid parents probably just want me out of thier hair anyways
[22:04] * [Seth]_Shizuka snatches the royal seal from the letter scraps
[22:04] * [Multi]_Kateb seems t oslightly relax before sinking back into his chair.
[22:04] <[Seth]_Shizuka> I do expect that at some point I can visit my home again
[22:05] <[Multi]_Kateb> I thought it prudent to show it to you now. I thought it might be worth letting you know that you might not recieve the welcome you were expecting back at the Oyashima Castle.
[22:05] <[Multi]_Kateb> Rest assured, you all will be able to visit your homelands. I would not dream of depriveing you of them totally.
[22:05] <[Multi]_Kateb> I, of anybody, should know how precious that is.
[22:06] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[A guard knocks on the door.]]
[22:06] * [Multi]_Kateb purposefully gets out of his chair and walks to the door, which he cracks open.
[22:06] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[A short conversation, inaudible, follows.]]
[22:07] * [Multi]_Kateb turns back to Shizuka.
[22:09] * [Seth]_Shizuka still looks angry, her hair frayed everywhere and still in her sleeping gown
[22:09] <[Multi]_Kateb> ...I trust that you would like to get dressed?
[22:12] <[Seth]_Shizuka> ... yes
[22:13] <[Multi]_Kateb> Please, go to your room and get prepared for the day.
[22:13] * [Multi]_Kateb opens the door and talks to one of the guards.
[22:15] <[Multi]_Kateb> You may go.
[22:16] * [Seth]_Shizuka leaves the room with another huff before heading back up to her room
[22:17] * [Multi]_Kateb walks back to his desk and falls into his chair, his face in his hands.
[22:17] <[Multi]_Kateb> !roll 2d6
[22:17] <Koakuma[g]> [Multi]_Kateb rolled 2d6 : 10
[22:17] <[Multi]_Kateb> ((10 stress to Kateb))
[22:17] * [Multi]_Kateb says to himself,
[22:17] * [BS]_Mahoumi opens the door a tiny bit as Shizuka passes by
[22:17] <[BS]_Mahoumi> Is it over?
[22:17] * [desu]_Thirsha begins to grow impatient waiting at the gate of the person who seemed to demand her presence
[22:18] <[Multi]_Kateb> Only the first day...Dear God.
[22:18] <[Multi]_Kateb> I excpected them to last at least a bit longer.
[22:18] <[Multi]_Kateb> O, God, grant me strength...
[22:18] * @[twi]_Rozlin was standing by her door
[22:19] <@[twi]_Rozlin> Seems so...
[22:19] * [Seth]_Shizuka glares at the two princesses before retreating back into her room
[22:20] * [BS]_Mahoumi shies back into her room at the glare
[22:20] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[A messenger arrives at the gate, huffing from his sprint. He exchanges a few words with the guard in attendance.]]
[22:20] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[The guard nods, and then addresses Thirsha.]]
[22:21] <[Multi]_Kateb> Guard: I'm sorry for the wait, your Highness. there was an unexpected disturbance on the grounds today. We pray you'll forgive us the delay.
[22:21] <[Multi]_Kateb> Guard: Please, follow us.
[22:22] <[desu]_Thirsha> Thirsha grows impatient to meet this one that deems them self of such a position as to take Thirsha from her home!
[22:22] * [Seth]_Shizuka points at the spider outside causing it to sink into the ground leaving behind a black inky substance
[22:22] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[The guard begins to escort Thirsha towards the Palace.]]
[22:23] <[Multi]_Kateb> ((Oh, by the way,))
[22:23] <[Multi]_Kateb> !roll d6
[22:23] <Koakuma[g]> [Multi]_Kateb rolled a d6 : 6
[22:23] <[Multi]_Kateb> ((Six favor from Shizuka))
[22:24] * [Multi]_Kateb soon makes his entrance into the Prime Daughters' quarters.
[22:25] * @[twi]_Rozlin bows as Kateb enters
[22:25] * [Multi]_Kateb draws himself up to speak.
[22:26] * [Co]_River emerges from her room in time
[22:27] <[Multi]_Kateb> I trust you have all at least heard of the nation of Lycora.
[22:28] <[desu]_Thirsha> What manner of palace is this? The grounds look like a shelob nesting ground!
[22:28] * [Co]_River smirks at the mention
[22:29] <[Multi]_Kateb> Guard: Ah--yes. We apologize for that. It's related to the disturbance I mentioned earlier. It was very quickly dealt with; this is just the last of the cleanup.
[22:30] * [Seth]_Shizuka takes the royal seal and holds it up to the window with a smirk
[22:30] <[Multi]_Kateb> We are graced today by the presence of the Lycoran princess.
[22:30] <[Seth]_Shizuka> fufufufu, maybe you're not so useless after all~
[22:30] <[Multi]_Kateb> Or, at least, the chief Lycoran Battle Maiden.
[22:30] * @[twi]_Rozlin tilts her head slightly
[22:30] <@[twi]_Rozlin> Battle maiden?
[22:30] * [Seth]_Shizuka lights a small fire in her hand melting the wax onto the window sill leaving behind a small round object hiddin in the wax
[22:31] <[Multi]_Kateb> Lycora doesn't truly have a royal tradition.
[22:32] <[Multi]_Kateb> It's somewhat complicated. She herself will be the best-suited to describe her position.
[22:32] <[Multi]_Kateb> All I know is that the Lycorans were at first unsure of how to respond to the request for a Prime Daughter, and that uncertainty is the cause of her delay in arrival.
[22:33] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[A knock is heard at the door.]]
[22:33] * [Seth]_Shizuka laughs gleefully taking the small object and dropping it in her jewlery box before getting changed
[22:33] * [Multi]_Kateb looks around.
[22:33] * @[twi]_Rozlin sighs in annoyance at herself
[22:33] <[Multi]_Kateb> Where's Shizuka? She hasn't come out of her room yet?
[22:33] <@[twi]_Rozlin> I don't see why such a vulger girl would bother.
[22:34] * [Multi]_Kateb looks sharply at Rozlin in response to this comment.
[22:34] * @[twi]_Rozlin gets quiet
[22:34] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[Another, more insistant knock is heard.]]
[22:35] <[Seth]_Shizuka> I'm coming I'm coming!
[22:35] * [Seth]_Shizuka opens the door looking much more decent then before
[22:36] * [Multi]_Kateb sees Shizuka, then goes to the door and opens it. After a short exchange, Kateb bows, and motions for someone to come in.
[22:37] * [desu]_Thirsha slides in at the guard's behest
[22:38] * [Co]_River (Imperial@205.250.209.85) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[22:39] <[Seth]_Shizuka> oh? and who's this?
[22:39] <[desu]_Thirsha> Where is this one that summons Thirsha? *shoots out quickly upon entering*
[22:39] <[Multi]_Kateb> I was the one that sent for you.
[22:40] * [desu]_Thirsha quickly turns toward Kateb
[22:40] <[desu]_Thirsha> And why has Thirsha been brought here? Thirsha has much training to attend to!
[22:41] <[desu]_Thirsha> Many new maidens and many followers, Thirsha has much to do
[22:41] * @[twi]_Rozlin sighs again and grudgingly remains at the door
[22:41] <[Multi]_Kateb> Thirsha will still have time to train here. I will see to it you have access to what materials you desire.
[22:41] <[Multi]_Kateb> But, as for why you're here...
[22:42] * [Multi]_Kateb sighs and composes himself.
[22:42] <[Multi]_Kateb> It's for an increased sense of unity between the provinces of the new Coalition.
[22:42] * [Co]_River (Imperial@142.179.120.72) has joined #maid
[22:43] <[Multi]_Kateb> By gathering the First Princesses of teh Provinces here, I hope to make of the Palace a focal point for the long-embattled Provinces to concentrate on.
[22:43] <[desu]_Thirsha> Cooo-aletion?
[22:44] * [Multi]_Kateb looks a bit taken aback.
[22:45] * [Co]_River is rather amused that even tribes are considered states worthy of address
[22:46] * [Seth]_Shizuka pulls up her fan to her face
[22:46] <[Seth]_Shizuka> think of it as a permanent alliance
[22:47] * [Co]_River (Imperial@142.179.120.72) Quit (Quit: Devastator Offline)
[22:48] * [Co]_River (Imperial@142.179.120.72) has joined #maid
[22:50] * Third_Eye (Radiation@142.179.120.72) Quit (Quit: Devastator Offline)
[22:51] <[desu]_Thirsha> Ah! You! Thirsha knows of you, nyaaaa~ *points her finger* You are the Conqueror! Thirsha has heard much, even in the temple of your conquest of the other nations!
[22:51] * [Co]_River (Imperial@142.179.120.72) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[22:51] <[desu]_Thirsha> Nyaaaa~ *begins purring*
[22:52] * [Multi]_Kateb looks off at the word "conqueror." He says, though,
[22:52] <[Multi]_Kateb> These are the princesses of the other countries.
[22:52] * [Co]_River (Imperial@142.179.120.72) has joined #maid
[22:52] <[Multi]_Kateb> You've all come to live here from now on. If you would, please introduce yourself to them.
[22:53] * [Cy]_River (Radiation@142.179.120.72) has joined #maid
[22:54] * [Co]_River (Imperial@142.179.120.72) Quit (Quit: Client Exited)
[22:55] * @[twi]_Rozlin gives a curt bow as she's gestured to
[22:56] <[desu]_Thirsha> Nyaa, Thirsha is Thirsha Ctarl-ctarl, head maiden of battle for all of Lycora!
[22:56] * [BS]_Mahoumi is currently hurriedly trying to get dressed in her room. Some bumping around can be heard
[22:58] <@[twi]_Rozlin> ....charmed...
[22:58] * [Cy]_River keeps a straight face despite the ridiculousness of the introduction
[23:00] * [Seth]_Shizuka smirks at the newcommer who considers herself of equal status, but her fan hides the smile from others
[23:02] * [Cy]_River glances at the rummaging room, wondering when the last princess will show
[23:02] * @[twi]_Rozlin clears her throat and turns to look at Mahoumi's door
[23:03] * [Multi]_Kateb looks at the PD expectantly.
[23:04] <[BS]_Mahoumi> J-just a minute!
[23:06] * [BS]_Mahoumi finally stumbles out of her room fully dressed, still nervously smoothing invisible wrinkles out of her clothes
[23:07] * [Co]_River (Imperial@142.179.120.72) has joined #maid
[23:07] <[desu]_Thirsha> Well, Thirsha takes much honor to be in Kateb's company.
[23:08] <[Multi]_Kateb> The honor is all mine.
[23:09] * [BS]_Mahoumi looks around at the gathering of girls uncertainly
[23:09] * [Multi]_Kateb looks once more at the otehr Prime Daughters, trying to suggest something to them...
[23:10] * @[twi]_Rozlin clears her throat
[23:10] <@[twi]_Rozlin> Princess Rozlin Astrum of Aquir.
[23:10] * @[twi]_Rozlin bows as she finishes
[23:11] * [desu]_Thirsha nods her head
[23:11] * [BS]_Mahoumi suddenly catches on
[23:12] <[BS]_Mahoumi> Ah! M-Mahoumi Miyaki of Orta Province!
[23:12] * [BS]_Mahoumi picks up the edge of her skirt and curtsies
[23:14] * [desu]_Thirsha nods her head and extends her arm in a sweeping motion
[23:14] * [Co]_River looks at Shizuka
[23:14] * [Seth]_Shizuka looks expectingly at River
[23:15] <[desu]_Thirsha> ((kind of like a curtsy except I'm not bowing, also I forgot to add that to the first one))
[23:15] * [Seth]_Shizuka stares down River
[23:15] <[Seth]_Shizuka> !statroll wll
[23:15] <Koakuma[g]> Shizuka rolled a 6: 6 x [2 wll] = 12
[23:16] <[Co]_River> !statroll wll
[23:16] <Koakuma[g]> Maid not found
[23:16] <[Co]_River> !statroll wll
[23:16] <Koakuma[g]> River rolled a 6: 6 x [3 wll] = 18
[23:17] * [Co]_River returns Shizuka's stare
[23:17] <[Seth]_Shizuka> ...
[23:17] * [Seth]_Shizuka lowers her fan
[23:17] * [desu]_Thirsha looks the others over from behind her veil
[23:17] <[Seth]_Shizuka> Shizuka of Oyashima
[23:17] * [Seth]_Shizuka says curtly
[23:19] * [Co]_River turns to Thirsha smiling lightly
[23:19] <[Co]_River> Jade River.
[23:19] * [BS]_Mahoumi shivers. She felt the sparks fly there
[23:23] <[desu]_Thirsha> From what nyaaation does Jade River hail?
[23:23] <[desu]_Thirsha> *puur*
[23:23] * [Co]_River leans against one the tables
[23:24] <[Co]_River> I don't think that needs to be said.
[23:24] * [desu]_Thirsha begins to play with her ribbons, sliding her hands along their length
[23:26] <[desu]_Thirsha> Nyeheheh~
[23:26] <@[twi]_Rozlin> ...
[23:27] <[BS]_Mahoumi> . . .
[23:27] * [BS]_Mahoumi glances over to Rozlin
[23:27] <[desu]_Thirsha> Tis alright if Jade River wishes not to tell, Thirsha wished only to ask
[23:27] * @[twi]_Rozlin glances back and shrugs slightly before returning her attention
[23:29] <[Multi]_Kateb> It is my most earnest wish that you all can live here together peaceably for the good of the Coalition.
[23:29] <[Co]_River> Good that you understand.
[23:29] * [Co]_River sideways glances at the others with satisfaction
[23:30] <[Multi]_Kateb> I'm afraid I must excuse myself. There are some affaires pending that I cannot put off any longer.
[23:30] <[Multi]_Kateb> Ah..
[23:30] * @[twi]_Rozlin nods slightly
[23:30] <[BS]_Mahoumi> Was that what all the shrieking was about?
[23:31] * [Multi]_Kateb hastily interjects:
[23:32] <[Multi]_Kateb> Oh-- Mahoumi, Rozlin -- if you would be so kind, please show Thirsha the second floor after breakfast.
[23:33] * [BS]_Mahoumi nods
[23:33] <[BS]_Mahoumi> O-of course
[23:33] * [Seth]_Shizuka can't help but smile at Kateb's response to Mahoumi's question
[23:33] * @[twi]_Rozlin hesitates before nodding
[23:33] <@[twi]_Rozlin> ...sure
[23:34] <[Multi]_Kateb> Thank you very much. Now, I must excuse myself, as I said. Once more, I hope your stays here will be profitable and painless for all involved.
[23:34] <[Multi]_Kateb> By your leave...
[23:34] * [Multi]_Kateb bows and exits the room.
[23:35] * @[twi]_Rozlin clears her throat again
[23:35] <@[twi]_Rozlin> Excuse me but, where will she be staying?
[23:35] * [Multi]_Kateb stops, one foot out the door.
[23:36] <[Multi]_Kateb> Ah, yes, thank you for reminding me.
[23:36] <[Multi]_Kateb> Um...
[23:36] * [Multi]_Kateb looks about.
[23:36] <[Multi]_Kateb> It would seem that there's only one room left.
[23:36] <[Multi]_Kateb> Please, Thirsha, have a look inside.
[23:39] * [desu]_Thirsha strides quickly from where she was standing toward the door to the room
[23:41] <[desu]_Thirsha> opens the door and slips inside
[23:41] * @[twi]_Rozlin steps back into her own room for now
[23:41] <[desu]_Thirsha> ((err /mi))
[23:43] * [Co]_River walks over the Shizuka slowly
[23:43] <[desu]_Thirsha> Hmmm Thirsha has no complaints
[23:43] * [Multi]_Kateb nods.
[23:43] <[Multi]_Kateb> I'm glad.
[23:43] * [Multi]_Kateb hands Thirsha a key from a pocket in his robe.
[23:43] <[desu]_Thirsha> ((just a few amenities right?))
[23:43] <[Multi]_Kateb> This key will open the door to your room and thin common area, but not the door to anyonw else's room.
[23:44] <[Multi]_Kateb> ((Yeah, bed, mirror, chair, desk))
[23:44] <[Multi]_Kateb> I'll  have a couple of servants called up from the kitchens. Tell them what you would liek to have for breakfast.
[23:45] <[Co]_River> So Shizuka, how was the weather outside?
[23:45] <[Multi]_Kateb> [[This to the entire company assembled.]]
[23:45] <[Multi]_Kateb> And now, I really must be going.
[23:45] * [Multi]_Kateb does a nod/bow, and leaves for his office.
