"Nice to finally see you again, Luciana," you waving to her.
"Yes, well..." Luciana mumbles, blushing ever so slightly.
"I heard that you were up all night thinking about me?" you say, unable to keep from grinning ear to ear.

Yeah, that look on her face is priceless.

"Y- you know why I was up so late," Luciana says as she stomps over to the table and chugs down the cup of tea that Arnaud poured for her before taking a seat next to Marianne.
"Hmm, I think I'll go and prepare another pot of tea," the old butler says as he quickly retreats from the courtyard..

You can hear him laughing to himself as he goes, too.

Maybe we can apologize later for being super catty and teasing lately? Marianne seemed to take this mornings joke worse than usual, I thought. We're probably just decompressing from the super tense crazyness of the trip.

Not now, though. It's teasing time now.

Starting early tonight, eh?

"Soo..." you say as your mouth slowly creeps into a wide grin, "about that bet we made last night..."
"Ah yes, I'd almost forgotten!" Marianne chirps in an artificial manner. "I'm sure that you remember last night's wager, yes?"
"Of course you'd demand to see it the second I ger here..." Luciana mumbles as she slouches back into her chair.

And then you notice that Takamaru's doing his best to keep from laughing himself... looks like he has a sense of humor after all.

"I'll have you know that I stayed up FAR past the time that I usually go to sleep in order to do this stupid thing," Luciana mutters as she reaches into the top of her dress and pulls a small, folded-up piece of paper from her chest.

Huh, so princesses carry stuff there too. You haven;t seen anyone do that since the last time you went shopping with Citrine, shortly before you left for the army.

"...why is it all crumpled up like that?" Marianne asks as she edges in closer to her friend. "Surely you didn't intend to throw this one away as well?"
"Ugh, no!" Luciana growls as she pushes Marianne away from her. "I messed up so many times that I ran out of the paper that one of the maids brought me," she sighs, "and I was too embarrassed to ask for more so instead I was forced to ask Takamaru here..."

As if on cue, her stoic bodyguard waves to the two of you.

"A good deal of his spells deal with summoning animals that are made from folded pieces of paper, so that's what I ended up using to draw on instead."

Come to mention it, the paper she's holding looks to be in the shape of... is that supposed to be a frog?

"How cute," Marianne says. "But is your drawing anywhere near as cute as that?"
"J... just be quiet for a minute, will you?" Luciana stammers, her face now completely flushed. "Anyways, I did the stupid drawing, so here!"

Luciana smacks you on the chest, the paper frog that contains her drawing falling into your jacket as she withdraws her hand.

"Um, thanks," you say as you pick it up and get to work unfolding it, careful not to tear the paper that contains the end results of your girlfriend's hard work.
"Try not to laugh too hard," Luciana mumbles.

Eventually you have the paper completely unfolded, which reveals...

"Hmm..." you furrow your brow and assume a stern expression. "You got the shape of my sword all wrong," you say, pointing to her rendition of it. "Mine's double-sided and shaped completely differently, while you drew one that looks more like an Eastern design?"
"...huh?" Luciana stares at you.
"Not to mention that the hilt shape's all off, and grip on my sword's longer than my hand but you drew it so that it looks as if it stops at maybe my pinky finger..."

As you point out all the errors in her drawing of your sword (and only the sword), you can DEFINITELY hear Takamaru snorting as he tries in vain to suppress his laughter.

But Luciana... she just looks really confused, and her eyes are starting to water up.

Eh, that's enough teasing for now. Your aim was never to actually hurt her feelings or anything, after all.

"It's actually really cute, Luciana," you say, giving her a quick peck on the cheek. "And the frog paper only helps with that, too."
"Y- you're not just messing with me?" Luciana asks, wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
"No, I mean it," you reply. "I seriously love it."
"Th... thanks..." she mumbles.
"I think I'll try and get a frame to put it in the next time I'm in the city..."
"PLEASE DON'T," she says as she takes a FIRM grip on your shoulders.

"If you insist," you say, laughing nervously as you pry yourself away from her. "I'll just put it away somewhere then..."

Taking pity on her, you begin refolding the paper back into its frog shape...

"Hey, wait," Marianne says as she gets up from her seat and walks behind you. "I'd like to get a look at her handiwork before you put it away."

It is only fair, seeing as how you showed Luciana the picture that you drew of Marianne...

"Yeah, alright," you say, unfolding the picture so that she can get a good look at it.
"Marianne, please don't-"
"Fair is fair," Marianne says as she leans in over your shoulder. "I'm sure that Reinhold was just being nice to spare your feelings, so let's see just how bad your art skills have degraded over the years..."

Taking the paper from your hands, Marianne examines it thoroughly...

"Still as awful as ever," Marianne says, "but I will admit that you've gotten far less so over the years."
"Uh, is that supposed to be a compliment?" you ask.
"Yes," she nods. "The last picture of hers that I saw looked like something akin to abstract art..."
"Come on, please don't tell him about that," Luciana sighs.

"When her father got a look at it, even he couldn't keep from laughing," Marianne says, an evil grin on her face. "...but I will admit that this one isn't actually -horrible.-"
"i suppose that's the closest thing I'll get to a compliment from you," Luciana mumbles.

Finished with her fun, Marianne hands you back the picture. Just as you finish folding it back into its cute froggy shape, Arnaud returns with more tea for the extra guests.

Opting to avoid any further conflicts, you keep the matter of the picture to your self as the old butler pours Luciana and Takamaru a cup of tea and leaves the extra teapot on the table before hurrying away once again.

It should be a reading class or a magic class, since usually what follows is dancing.

"...oh yeah, I still haven't shown it to you yet," you say to Luciana as you get up from your seat.
"Shown me what?" Luciana asks. "This isn't some kind of practical joke that you and Marianne came up with, is it?"
"Huh? No, it's nothing like that," you reply.

She's definitely on the defensive now...

"I know that you were feeling bad about my sword getting broken, so..." you say as you unfasten the your sword's scabbard from your belt and place the entire thing on your chair.
"Eh?" Luciana looks at it. "So you're carrying the pieces around with you?"

>>32580585
"In a way, yeah."

>>32580585
Nah, its Tinasword

>>32580585

>>32580585

"You could put it like that..." you say as you pull the sword out of its scabbard a little bit and show her that it's once again in one piece.
"Wha?" Luciana gasps. "How did you get it fixed so quickly?"
"He offered his sword up to Niklaus for experimentation," Marianne says as she takes a sip of tea. "And I suppose it paid off for once."
"I suppose so," Luciana nods. "I'm really glad that you were able to get it fixed, Reinhold..."
"Yeah, so am I," you smile.

Out of your friends, it's probably... Nicolette that's the only one who doesn't know about it by now?

It's cuz she's not one of the cool kids.

>>32580792

>>32580867

Yeah, he's so cool all the cool girls want to be handled by him.

Damned slick he is, too.

>>32580867
He knows how to stay frosty, that's for sure.

>>32580741


"Hmm..." Takamaru says as he leans in for a closer look. "Is there something wrong with the metal? I don't recall it being so dull before."
"Oh, that's a sideeffect of the crystal stuff that he used to fix it," you reply. "I can't actually use it for another day or so, and I think I should be able to get it back to its usual appearance by then too."
"I see," he nods before returning to his seat.

Having finished showing your sword off, you spend the next few minutes struggling to get it back onto your belt in a way that's comfortable.

"Now that that's done with," Marianne begins, "I take it that the two of you will be joining us for the rest of the day?"
"That was the plan at first," Luciana replies, "but my oversleeping really threw all my plans for the day off," she sighs. "I need to get my things together and make sure that Elena's ready too..."
"Oh, because you're going to be staying with Sir Gregory," she rolls her eyes.

"I really don't understand your grudge against him," Luciana sighs. "But yes, that's why I need to hurry back after we're done here.
"So much for spending some time together today..." Marianne grumbles.
"I -would- have had plenty of time to spend with you today, if not for a certain person's wager conditions," she glares at her friend.
"Yes, yes," Marianne shrugs. "I know, I reap what I sow."

It does really suck that she'll be leaving soon...

"I should be all settle in tomorrow though so I'll try and stop by then," Luciana says to Marianne before turning to you. "And Uncle Gregory mentioned that Aunt Ariane wanted to cook a big meal for us later that night... maybe you'd like to come?"

"I would never pass up a chance to eat her cooking," you say as you mouth stars watering just thinking about it.
"Wonderful!" Luciana claps her hands together. "And what about you, Marianne?"
"I think I -will- pass," Marianne sighs. "As much as I may look up to his wife, I have no interest in eating dinner with Sir Gregory himself..."
"I thought so," she mumbles.

Depending on how late it runs, you might be able to fit in your training with Arnaud after you get back... and either way, he's sure to understand if you missed one more day.

Probably going to have to be more careful in the future, though.

"Well there go my plans for tomorrow," you say. "So what's the itinerary for the rest of today, Marianne?"
"After this is my literature class," Marianne replies, "and then your favorite etiquette."
"Wonderful," you sigh.
"Rest assured, I find it every bit as interesting as you do," she shakes her head.
"Ehehe, I suppose it's a good thing that I won't be joining you today," Luciana giggles. "I finished all my mandatory lessons last year, after all!" she says, teasingly sticking her tongue out at Marianne.

>>32581422

The rest of your teatime is spent with the two princesses griping about various boring classes that they've been forced to take as part of their princessly duties.

And though most of the girl talk went in one ear and out the other, you did pick up on that Luciana's kind of envious that Marianne gets to take classes that she actually finds interesting. Apparently, most of Luciana's were geared to more ladylike pursuits that would make her more attractive for marriage.

That would definitely explain why she's so damned good at dancing...

"I suppose I'll see you tomorrow then," Marianne says as the four of you make your way to the hallway.
"I'll be sure to tell Uncle Gregory that you said hi" Luciana giggles as she turns in the opposite direction from where the two of you were going.
"Ugh, shut up..."

And with that, you and Marianne head to the library.

>[3/?]

>>32581761

As you enter the dimly-lit library, you notice that there are several books all laid out on a table.

"Wonderful, everything's already here," Marianne says as she makes her way to the table and takes a seat. "I'll have to thank Gerhard later..."

You expect him to show up upon the mention of his name, but surprisingly enough, he doesn't appear. It's kind of disappointing.

"There's no lecture?" you ask as you sit down next to the Princess.
"No, not today," Marianne replies. "I have a philosophy book to finish, and then we'll go over what I read at the end of the week... there's no need for you to paticipate though, you can go ahead and read whatever you want instead."

Now would have been a perfect time to bring that book that she lent you, too.

Yeah, you're kind of at a loss right now... might as well ask for Marianne's assistance before she really gets started reading.

"Umm, Marianne?" you turn to her.
"What is it?" Marianne replies.
"I know that now would probably be a good time to finish off that book you lent me, but I left it in my room... would you happen to have any suggestions of what I could read in the meantime?"
"Of course you didn't bring anything for yourself," she sighs.

Marianne then gets up from her seat and walks over to a nearby bookshelf, tracing her finger along the spines of the books until stopping in front of one in particular. After doublechecking to make sure it's what she was looking for, she brings it along with her back to the table and places it in front of you before sitting down herself.

IIRC the summoning of familiars is taboo in this setting because it summons them somewhat randomly based on magical ability. And the dragons weren't terribly happy with their babies up and vanishing into thin air every now and again.

>>32582289
Reminder that familiar summoning has fallen out of practice because it can result in accidentally kidnapping baby dragons. And then you've got an irate Dragondad to answer to.

"I remembered how you were completely lost during Sir Gregory's lecture, so here," she says, pointing to the cover of the book. "It's a book that missionaries use while trying to convert new believers."
"Umm, thanks?" you say as you open it.

The first thing you notice is that this book is fully illustrated, and the text itself is much larger than you're used to seeing.

"That one in particular is aimed specifically at children, so I'm sure that even you'd be able to understand it," Marianne says, giving you a quick glance before opening her own book.

Well, might as well get started...

>[2/?]

>>32582425

Long ago, there was nothing. No light nor shadow, no stone nor water, not even time itself flowed. There was simply the nothing that always was, and would ever be.

Within this void, and outside it as well, there was God. As there was nothing, God was content with nothing... but he eventually grew bored with this stagnation.

And so, God uttered the first words of his perfect Language. In an instant, his Breath filled the spaces between spaces. As there was no longer Nothing, He named this new creation the World. But though this great change pleased God as it happened, stagnation quickly took root once more.

he'll do it one day

it does make me wonder if there are any familiars around even now though but i doubt we'll get around to that

>>32582496
Technically, there is exactly one alive at the moment.
All the others who practiced that technque have long since died of old age.

>>32582473

As God spoke unto the World of his hatred of stagnation, the World acted in kind. Deciding to ever remain in motion, with this first movement came the beginning of Time. And so the Breath of God swirled and expanded within the World, collecting into the stars in the sky and also the darkness that separated them. And God looked upon his creation and was pleased that the World wished to see that his will be done.

For a time, God was content to watch as the darkness of his creation gradually filled with the shining lights of the infant stars... but eventually he came to feel that with this would also come stagnation, for what would come after all of his lingering Breath that was scattered amongst his creation had collected into stars? Would that not bring more of the stagnation that he so hated?

>there is exactly one alive
are you talking about that guy that familiared a phoenix like 4 seconds after it died when it was still basically just ash and then somehow fused with it and got its resurrection power

>>32582568
Yup.

>>32582553

Deciding to act upon the World for the first time since he created it, God located within it a star that he found pleasing, and once more spoke his perfect Language. God declared that around this star would spin a Planet, composed of the very same Breath that the stars were made from. Ever eager to please its creator, the World did as it was told and brought this Planet into existence- a ball of fire and lightning and molten stone, ever spinning and changing.

And God said unto the World, "As my Breath brought this Planet life, it too shall have its own Breath. And that Breath shall gather over the Planet and fill all things, but there shall be no Stagnation within it. It shall be divided between light and dark, between fire and stone. And from there it shall be divided further still, though they shall remain the same at their core."

As the World was so ordered, it acted. And so there was more change, and His Breath filled this Planet.

>[5/?]

>>32582613

Then God said unto the World, "As my Breath gathered into the lights of the heavens, it shall also gather upon the Planet which I have created. That which is like shall attract more of the same, and from there there shall be Souls. And those Souls shall speak unto you as I do, and create Change, for that pleases me."

And so from his Breath there were Souls, and those Souls were the first Spirits. They were Anrasorana and Alsiradna, Ardiaotol and Thanavinra, the first Lightning and the first Flame and countless others. And God looked upon them and was pleased with what He had created.

God continued to watch over this newborn Planet along with the Spirits which lived upon it and continued to be born from it. Over time, the flames of the Planet gave way to cold stone, and waters flowed upon them, and winds blew over them, and God saw that it was beautiful, yet incomplete. And so He spoke unto the World that this Planet would have a Moon which chased after it as the Planet itself chases after its star, so the World acted to please the creator of all things.

But the Planet misheard the perfect Language of God, creating not one Moon but two. This is not what God wanted, for Moons are spiteful and meant to be alone. And so the two chased after one another and fought over who would be allowed to be closest to the Planet, eventually getting into a great battle which ended with both of them being split in twain.

Taking pity upon the twin Moons, God ordered the World to mend the two Moons into one, and so it was done. The Planet was left with one Moon, and then the World took what was left and fashioned it into a massive Ring with which it adorned the Planet as a reminder to never forget the great mistake that was made.

Fuck you too, Arch. What did Moons ever do to you?

>>32582868

Maybe Rana can turn her into a Dragon just for us.

I feel like Rein isn't the most entertaining person in this setting somehow.

Yes, please.

Are there such things?

>>32582942
I feel you anon, but the fact remains that dragonbaby familiar would constitute an international incident unless we somehow won the ultralottery and the one we summoned just happened to be an orphan or something.

>>32582952
in world we know that magic is divided into sun and moon catagories for the elements (light and fire are sun, dark and water are moon)
i've tried asking arch about ring based magic before, including the pgq question answering thread, but all i got was that he refused to talk about it. however the fact that he said he wasn't talking about it implied that it exists, and telling us may have been a spoiler

>>32582861

The World's actions pleased God, and He was content for a time. But soon he grew weary with the denizens of the Planet, for the Spirits that he had created did not hate Stagnation as he did. And so, God said unto the World that there would be plants and animals which grew on the land and fish that swam in the sea, and the World brought them into being.

But these creatures were short of life, fighting and dying with the blink of the eye. Taking pity upon them, God declared that those most exceptional of beasts would grow Souls should they live long enough, and those Souls would become Spirits from there should they further show themselves to be worthy.

But God soon grew bored with this as well, for the number of animals who showed themselves to be worthy was far too small. Desiring a more perfect creature which would not wither with the passing of time and die as the others do, God spoke unto the World...

we aren't given a timeline for this, and if I recall, the nap that Alsiradna took was tens if not hundreds of thousands of years in length. I don't know about you, but staring at the same shit for thousands of years would bore me as well.

>>32582977
So... Magic based on 'God's mistake' could exist? Could the 'Magic of the Ring' be somehow connected to that of Vilernite's strange 'physics' bending power that works by surrounding something?

Ring is made of Vilnernite. When brought into low-orbit the ring becomes dense enough to nullify all magic on the planet, causing all magic-based lifeforms to go extinct. I like it

>>32583120
it doesn't nullify magic, it just stops you from being able to turn script into a spell. elementals and shit can still cast

>>32583129
Shame. Such a plot device could've made for an epic campaign. One that could even make 'God' take notice

"Hey."

The sound of a voice calling out to you breaks the silence that had previously filled the library, along with your concentration.

"You can finish that book later, it's time to go," Marianne says as she gathers the books that had been laid out for her into a neat stack.
"...oh," you reply as you close reluctantly close the book that you'd been reading. "Next class is etiquette, right?"
"Yes, and then you're free for the rest of the day," Marianne replies. "Or night, as it was..."

Not wanting to be late, the two of you exit the library and head to the Princess's final class for the day.

pretty sure she's accepted Reinhold is just weirdly nice like that

>>32582748
It was explained at least once during the Q&A thread:
http://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/29761933/#29766733
http://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/29761933/#29767949

Arch said that he had explained it before then as well, but I don't remember when/where/if that actually was the case.

That said, we recently had Witches explained to us, who focus their magic around summoning and binding 'demons' (ostensibly pseudoelementals, taking strange forms due to their elemental progenitors' lack of other lifeforms to emulate) from what is assumed to be another world.

...which basically seems like a potentially consensual, contract-based, selective Familiar summoning, thereby solving almost all of the morality issues related to the old system.

All that's left is allowing the 'demon' to retain its physical form (or having it adopt that of a more familiar creature) rather than binding it to an object, I guess, which we never really went into the feasibility of.

That, and whether it's actually possible to send the summoned 'demon' back in the event that it either does not want to or can't safely be bound.

>>32582977
Well, now we know that (at least as far as religious cosmology is concerned) the Ring is deeply tied with the Moon, so their associated magic would probably be somewhat similar.

>>32583276
>Are we annoying, being this curious?
If nothing else, it's a good way for her to help internalize what she learned. So even if it's annoying, at least it's the useful sort of annoying.

Where do you guys see Reinhold in 10 years?

I meant to continue for a little while longer, but my eyes are really starting to dry up and I'm going to take that as a signal that I need to stop for the night.
tonight's thread was fun as usual, and I apologize to those who were bored by that there creation story (which may or may not be entirely accurate)
I'll be running Thursday night as well, though it'll be a different qurst which I have yet to even name. Give it a chance if you're interested, I plan on it to be pretty different in theme from Princess Guard.
it's also written i first-person, which I honestly find a lot easier to write in[/spoiler[

With the exception of names, which I absolutely suck at. Even in this, important characters and concepts that I hammered out long ago tend to remain without a name until it's absolutely necessary.

>>32583380
hell, Arch, sometimes you change the names, if they haven't been used much. Remember when Emilio was named Enrico? And Giancarlo was Lorenzo?
