She motions to a doorway. Servants are bringing in platters of food and drink. "Here it is now." She smiles again, then lowers her eyes. "Perhaps I had better go... Someone may need my help..."

Blinks, startled, for a second, then smiles...Glad to hear it. So, when is this feast Poca describes going to be? I'm starved.

Name: Lady Poca

Comments:
She smiles at the man without a name. "Hmmmm, no name, huh? Well, I guess we'll have to give you one, won't we? I've got it! Octavius. But for short, we'll call you Gus." (Extra points to the person who knows where that one comes from.)

Comments:
She places a hand on his arm and looks up into his eyes. "I'm sorry if I worried you. And nothing is wrong now." She smiles up at him.

Walks over to Lisa, concerned: What was the matter? Anything wrong? You had me worried when you up and left like that...

Smiles slightly, as she notices Lisa's return...

Name: Miss Lisa

Comments:
As the music begins, she appears in the doorway of the Great Hall, still holding her rose in one hand. She looks in Johan's direction with wistful eyes.

Name: Arina

Comments:
Returns to the Great Hall, and silently pulls an oddly-shaped flute out of her bag and assembles it...She begins to play a slow and haunting melody, and as she stands playing many people could swear they see her cape, dress, and hair blowing in a breez --very picturesque, actually, except there's not the slightest hint of a breeze anywhere, even next to her...she appears in intense concentration, and looks at the floor...

Name: Nein

Comments:
Nein enters the castle, admires the architecture, all the people who are milling about, and the acoustics of the room. It is a beautiful place, and she feels welcome. She strolls about the grounds of Gaultheria. (OOC: Was there ever any doubt that Conn ry is the better Bond?)

The man looks at Poca quickly and then seems to be staring at something behind her. "Name... Name..." Again he lets out a low, "Hmmm..." He puts his hand into his pocket as if to find something, but when he removes it all he finds is lint. He stares t it for a while, seemingly entranced. "Name..." He finally says again. "No. No name. I no longer have a name." He drops the lint on the floor...

Name: Alex

Country: Strikehaven

Comments:
Alex bows to Lady Poca, then walks over to the fireplace. He removes his cloak reveling a white robe underneath. His brown hair falls the the middle of his back. His handsome face is caring and gentile. His grey-blue eyes reveal little save for a defin te look of knowledge. He then removes his scabbard and hangs it on top of his cloak. Finding a seat by the fire, he sits down and awaits conversation. (OOC: Sean Connery is the better Bond...)

Continues his wanderings of the castle and grounds, and finds himself in the chapel...he looks around reverntly, and then kneels, crosses himself, and begins to mumble something under his breath...

Comments:
She looks at Arina's retreating back, then down at the rose in her hand, unsure of what to do...

12/15/97 23:02:06

Name: Nein

Comments:
Nein arrrives at the castle, on foot, (she and the bull had had an arguement over who made the better James Bond- Sean Connery or Roger Moore, and evidently the bull had no sense of aesthetics...) and knocks on the heavy door. It is a beautiful place, she thinks, and she waits for an answer.

12/15/97 21:31:33

Name: Arina

Comments:
Looks surprised: What? Oh. I'm just picking on him. He's acting like a smitten teenager...over you, no less. You should be flattered--he NEVER does that. As for us, we're just friends...and pretty mutually insulting ones at that, not to menti n the fact that I'm considerably older than he is. So you weren't doing anything wrong, my young friend. You're just the object of a "crush", unless I miss my guess. So if you enjoy the dating game, you might just want to go on back there. She give Lisa a friendly pat on the shoulder and starts back to the castle proper...

Name: Lady Poca

Comments:
She smiles kindly at the man. "You are welcome to stay for as long or as short of a time as you'd like. I do have one small request, however. Might I have the honor of knowing your name?"

The swordsman lifts an interested, yet solemn, eyebrow as Lady Poca approaches and greets him. "Join you... Here..." He lets out a low, "Hmmm..." and looks down at the floor for a second. "Yes..." he says looking back up to Poca's eye level. "For a w ile. I will stay for a while, if you don't mind. It might become necessary to move on again in a few days..." He seems somewhat preoccupied with something. His expression seems far off and one can see from the look in his eyes that his thoughts wander

Comments:
She looks up at Arina, tears shining in her eyes. "I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bother anyone. And I didn't mean to cause a fight between you and... Johan. Please forgive me. I'll stay out of your way, I promise." She looks back down at the rose in her hands, avoiding eye contact with Arina.

Catches up to Miss Lisa in the gardens...Hello, little one. What's with the hasty exuent? Not liking the conversation?

Comments:
Food is always preferable to business, m'lady. We can discuss my purpose here tomorrow, then.

She approaches the new arrival. "Welcome to Gaultheria. I am Lady Poca, the mistress of the castle. Please, join us."

12/15/97 18:07:30

Name: Lady Poca

Comments:
She looks a little puzzled in Kenshiro's direction, sure that she's never met him before. (she would DEFINITELY remember it if she had...) "Welcome to Gaultheria, Kenshiro. I will enjoy furthering your acquaintance." She shakes her head and t rns to Johan. "Yes, I would like to discuss diplomatic matters with you. However, I do not think tonight is the right time. As you can see, we have many first time guests, and I'd like to get everyone situated. We'll have a feast tonight, everyone will be given a chance to rest, then you and I can discuss things further in the morning. Will that suit you?"

12/15/97 17:28:19

Name: Johan

Comments:
I am afraid that I have yet to see such beauty that is in your niece. But I must do what I came here to do first...Lady Poca, I have been sent by Sir Mastermind with greetings and requests for a permanant embassy and diplomatic relations. We can obvious y discuss details at a more convenient time, but are you opposed in principle in any way?

12/15/97 16:32:48

Name: Kenshiro

City: Gaultheria Castle

Comments:
The small man in simple monk's robes looks around at the various people assembled in the great hall. He smiles slightly and nods his head in approval. He turns to Lady Poca and bows slightly from the shoulders, his right fist cupped in his left hand. He addresses her quietly in a voice only she can hear clearly. "It is a pleasure to meet you again, Lady Poca. It is good to see you in fine health and happiness, as you were before. And i am sure i will be pleased to make the acquaintance of your friends." He looks around again at the rather unusual crowd gathered in the hall. He speaks again, still in a quiet voice, but this time anyone who is noticing - and even a few who aren't - can hear his voice with distinct clarity. "I am Kenshir ." He bows again, this time to the hall in general, then sits back down.

The swordsman lets half a grin briefly cross his face. "Thank, you... Lucien?" He raises an eyebrow as if questioning, but instead of waiting for an answer he continues on in past the doorman. The man slowly walks into the center of that hall, clackin his boots on the floor with each step to make a resounding echo. He stops and slowly looks about the room from under his troubled brow...

12/15/97 14:59:35

Name: Lucien

Comments:
He opens the door for the man. "Lady Poca is inside the Great Hall. You are welcome to join her and the other guests there."

Name: Lady Poca

Comments:
She approaches Johan and sits next to him. "Johan, I ask that you please be careful with my niece. She is shy, and even more so now. You see, she came to live with me because her mother died of a fever a month ago. My older brother thought mayb I could heal her... If you are truly interested, then, by all means, pursue her and see what you can do to heal her broken heart. But if it is only a game to you, step away now before she is hurt more..." She stands and approaches Alex. "I see you have not heard the story of how I came here, Alex. I did not oversee the construction of this castle. I have only been here for two months myself. Why don't you ask Lucien any questions you may have?" Next she moves to Kenshiro's side. "Mi ord, would you care for something to eat or drink? I have an excellent cook. Or, perhaps you'd like a seat near the fire. The one dressed in Onyx seems a... pleasant... man. Perhaps you two have something in common? You do not appear the warrior ou side, however, something tells me not to overlook your abilities in that realm..."

12/15/97 10:02:12

Comments:
The swordsman sitting under the tree finally gets up. His face seems somewhat haggard and his clothes are dirtier than they looked at first glace. Apparently, he's been on a long trip. Slowly, he dusts himself off, and proceedes towards the gates. He aps lightly on the doorframe with one knuckle...

Comments:
Oh, sword... Yes, okay. I'll put it away. Alex sheathes his sword and looks around before continuing to speak. This is a nice place you have here, how long did it take to construct?

Sashays (SP?) over to Johan and and whispers to him...Whatsamatta? She didn't like your style, Romeo? She smacks him on the shoulder, dodges the return blow, and follows Miss Lisa...

Looks moderately surprised...

12/15/97 01:26:42

Name: Miss Lisa

Comments:
She notices the interaction between Johan, the extremely handsome newcomer, and Arina, the likewise beautiful newcomer, and figures that she's somehow the cause of such discord between friends... or lovers... She quietly excuses herself and seeks the quiet of the rose garden...
