"AH HARHARHAR! THAT'S A GOOD ON-"

She slams the door on your face and locks it tightly.

You turn to Camille, who is trying not to burst out laughing.
"Yar, yer turn Lass."

Giggling, she approaches the door and knocks on it one more time.
"Lyn! It's Camille! These aren't robbers, they're the heroes I told you about!"

Silence.
"Lynnn! Open up!"

There's a click inside the door before it slowly slides open. Reveal the woman in her entirety. She appears to be not too much older than you are, but you know better than that. Looks are deceiving around these parts.

"Lyn! Seriously!"
"S-sorry." She says, adjusting her voice. "Welcome, everyone! How nice it is for you all to drop by!"

"Eheh, stop being so formal." Camille gently hugs her, "We just came by because we have a magic question!"
"Um." She adjusts her blouse, "Aren't there archmages you can ask? What would I know about this?"

"It's about emblem magic! We found someone who had a training emblem, and a hero who had a barrier jacket that you made!"

She leads us inside and in toward her study. Along the walls and the mantles decorate dozens of ornate trophies and seals. The seals seem to be the most interesting, it seems like every ten feet there's another one hanging on the wall.

"Well, yes. I was making barrier jackets for all the heroes, but I've only sent a few out." She says, confused at where Camille is going with this.
"This hero isn't a good guy, that's why. We want to know where you sent this one to, and while we're here, maybe you can get these heroes set up with some actual magic gear."

She turns and looks at Camille, blankly,
"I'm not a shop. I don't have magic equipment just laying around."
>"I'm good with anything!"
>"If I can get better weapons, I'm happy with that!"
>"How about an upgrade to this coat? Gallete's hero has a pretty nifty coat herself."
>"Forget that, teach me how to magic better"
>Other?

"Har, it's fine Lass!" you laugh. "If I can get better weapons and maybe a nifty coat like Gallete's hero has, aye'll be fine!"

"Oh, yes. I did deliver a jacket for Gallete's hero a few weeks ago. They told me she was too ill for me to see it, though."
"Ah, it's fine! Aye fixed her right up!"

She stops and turns to you,
"You did?"
"Yar! Sort of! I found a Doc of sorts."

She blinks twice,
"Excuse me, I should introduce myself."

She does a curtsy, at least that's what you think it's called.
"I am Lynneth, I make magical equipment as a profession."
"Don't be so modest, Lyn!" Camille hugs her, "You're the best that's ever lived! Kings would pay their entire treasury just for one of your magic weapons!"

Aw, so she's shy.
You know how to handle that!
"Excuse me Lass, but I handle introductions like this."

With a swift movement, you slide over next to her and pull off her hat. Gently, you run your fingers over her ears as your other hand finds her tail, tucked into her waistband.
"Uh UM!" She jumps as you grip her cat tail firmly.

Which is when she seemingly disappears from your grasp and reappears on the other side of the room. Her face sports a beet-red blush and her hand furiously grips at her hat.
"Uh Um Um! How about we handle the introductions in the dining room instead, r-right!?"

Aw. So much for your fun.
Hey Camille, why're ye lookin' at me like that?

You all sit down in her exquisite dining hall and introduce ourselves. She has some difficulty understanding where some of the characters in your party like Cody and Yuuki come from. She wants to think of them as actual places that exist in this world somewhere, but she isn't very familiar with the concept of a 'Summoned Hero'.

That's fine with you! What's important is what you're going to get out of this meeting!

"So." She drinks from a cup of tea that you suspect has long since turned stale. "The barrier jacket I made for that girl was picked up by someone from Konditorei, ever heard of it?"
"I can't say I have, Lass."

"Wait, seriously!?" Camille stands up with a jump.

All eyes are on her, she seems to have lost the composure to speak.
"Konditorei was the place the first demon attack happened! When I reported it to their royal authority, they pushed me aside and tried to act like I was crazy!"

Har, sounds just like royalty to do that.

"Well, that's very troubling." Lyn sips from her cup, "But we can't rule out the possibility that they're being used by someone. If what everyone has told me is correct, your rogue hero could only come from either Konditorei or another country, far away from it, named Cranacha."
"Aye, and the clock is ticking down on how long she can be away from her summoner."

Lyn thinks about this for a few minutes, before answering abruptly.
"Then I have no choice! I'm going back with you to Biscotti so I can inspect her barrier jacket. I can find out where she's been from that." She seems rather displeased by this.

She sets down her teacup and claps her hands together.
"In the meantime, let's get everyone here something for the road. If you're going to an actual war, I don't want any of you unequipped for it!"

Har, that's what you're talkin' about.

What kind of gun will it be, I wonder?
Hopefully a Hand Cannon type. Or maybe some kind of magical Magnum .44

>>37829493
Don't we already have a revolver?

How about a Blunderbuss?

>>37829554
But not a magical Magnum.
But you're right, and those are more Cody's thing, anyway.

Let's get ourselves a new sword.

You go try out some of the spare weapons she has. Apparently most of these were special ordered at one time, but no one ever came out to pick them up.

Which you find it be preposterous, some of these weapons are the best ones you've ever held in your hands. You try out some of the pistols, in particular one really big handcannon that could put a hole straight through the castle. You decide that it's too heavy before moving on.

Your browsing and perusing of the weapons goes on for quite some time. You might as well get a feel for everything here if you're taking something home with you.

From the selection, Cody picks out a new six-chambered pistol, Yuuki decides on a long, slender shortsword to accommodate her spear, and even Noel gets a nice new edge to her halberd.

Finally you decide on a nicely weighted cutlass, you don't see what's so good about it at first, but it feels good to hold and you think that's what's most important.

On the way out, you notice something else of interest.
"Is that.. A cannon?"
"Yeah, sort of. It's something someone wanted refinished, but they never came back for. Now it holds up an end of a table."

You get a rather devious smile across your face.
"I think I have a use for something like that."

--

The flight back to Biscotti is rather boring and dull.
Except you find a way to make the best of it.

"Jack" Cody says, disapprovingly. "Amaretti is a kind lady and all, but I'm not sure she'd appreciate you putting a cannon on the deck of her ship. "
"It's just 'ere for a little bit!" You smile. "Aye intend on taking everyone off the ship that I put on the ship."

And maybe a little bit more!

Your group lands just outside the castle, as it looks like a number of knights are gathering and discussing something. You quickly realize that they're gathering around the princess, who is standing outside the bridge and waiting for something.

>Cont.

Did we get a jacket upgrade?

>>37831147
i dont think there was an option for that.

"Ahoy!" You yell as you jump from the deck of the ship. A good thirty or so feet pass by you before you land on the ground right in front of the gathering of knights.
Each one of them, except the princess, seems to jump out of their skin when you land.

"There you are." The princess says, arms crossed, deadpan.
"Here I am." You say back to her. "Now if you'll excuse us, we-"

She steps in front of your path.
"I was about to send a search party out for you. You know that, right?"
"Aye, okay."

You try stepping around her again, but she blocks your path.
"What'd ye want, Princess?"
"You. scared. THE HELL out of me, Jack!"

Woh, is the princess actually upset?
"A search team came back, said you should have been here an hour ago, and then there's no Jack. I had to put something in Anna's drink just to make her pass out for three hours so she didn't notice that Yuuki was missing. But now I see I should have put something in mine too!"
She grits her teeth and mumbles something.

"Wait a minute, Princess. I thought you didn't care what I did, ever. Why do ye suddenly care now?"

"Eh? Princess Biscotti?" Yuuki walks up behind you, "Are you going somewhere?"

"Leaving. That's what I'm doing. I'm going back inside." She growls another mumble while the knights follow her back into the castle.

Women, you don't get them.

"What was that about?" Yuuki asks with obvious confusion.

>"Enough of that! We have important things to do!"
>Follow the princess. Something is clearly making her upset.
>Forget her, if she doesn't like you? Tough.
>Other?

>>37831671
>Follow the princess. Something is clearly making her upset.
"I was investigating! Yaar. Investigation. With cannons."

Time for Drama

Writing last post of the night. Sorry tonight's thread was so short.

>>37831976
it cool we still enjoy it.

>>37831976
Delicious drama, ahoy! I'm also wondering when all the tail fluffy touching and ear petting is going to go from funny and adorable to dramatic and serious.

"Hang on Yuuki, I'm going to see what 'er problem is."
"Okay." She instead goes back to the ship to help unload your stuff off of it.

--

The princess is storming down the hallway, not even acknowledging the maids and guards who bow at her presence.

You're only a few steps behind her, trying to get her attention. Every step of the way she's mumbling something all the way to her room.

"Hay! I'm talkin' to you, Lass!"

She pays you no mind. Instead continuing to walk faster and faster.

She's standing just outside the guest rooms at this point, particularly the room where Anna is staying with Yuuki. She stops and turns around to glare right at you.
"What is it Jack?!"

"Whats with this attitude, Princess? A week ago you barely acknowledged that I exist, and now you're actin' like you care 'bout me. I didn't even buy ye a drink this time."

"I've always cared about you, Jack!"
"..Really?"
"Of course! You're Biscotti's hero! You're MY hero!"

"..And how is that different?"

"I've ALWAYS cared, Jack! When you disappeared for a week in Gallete, I cared. When you went away to fight a demon, I cared! Every day you were gone I would send someone to check and make sure you weren't off somewhere dying. Because I cared!"

Is she seriously hurt by all this?
"What I don't care for is this idea you have that I've never cared! And you've told me that every time I ever get to see you, which is never!"

She sighs, "I'm not even sure what kingdom you serve anymore. Goodbye Jack."
You try to stop her, but she walks down the hallway and disappears from sight. Some hero's welcome home, you think to yourself.
You look to your right to notice that the door is cracked open, and there's a single eyeball staring at you through the crack.

"What?! Was it somethin' I said?"
Anna sighs, before shutting the door slowly behind her.

Well, enough of that. You suddenly feel like you need a drink.

>Thread End

>>832820
Never. Even if everything else gets completely serious, we'll still have that cuteness.

Okay, thanks everyone for the thread. Sorry that went shorter than usual.

For those wondering, I will be traveling over the weekend and I'll be using most of this week to prepare for it. I'm not sure how that bodes for a thread on Thursday, but we'll see.

Thanks everyone for the thread. Let me know what you thought of it.
