    Marigold, but Not Like the Flower

    "Right," the guard tries to say with a stern voice, though his words quiver with pity, "Go on then."   The Coachman drives on through the gate, into Bracken. "Quite the tricky girl,"  the Coachman says with a laugh, "Many people got things to hide though," he pauses for a moment, then leans...

    Tinker Tailor Daughter Pie

    You come out of the hatch and onto the deck.  The wind is surprisingly light, but bitterly cold; it cuts through your clothes and stings your skin (your tunic and cloak are no match for this icy wind).  The crew working the ship are busily adjusting lines and trimming sails, cursing one another...

    Marigold, but Not Like the Flower

    "Ya' never been to this part?"  He questions with a laugh, "Everyone round ere's been to Bracken a time two,"  his voice is frank and conversational.  "I suppose you ain't from ere' then..."  the coachmen accepts, scratching his bare chin, "I'll take ye' to Merril's Inn, me friend May runs the...

    Tinker Tailor Daughter Pie

    Introduction:  You were the daughter of an accomplished (albeit humble and modest) Tailor, living a simple life in Estiro Village.  It wasn't the worst life someone could have (during your younger years), not wholly (but was it the life you really wanted?).  Later, when you were in your...

    Marigold, but Not Like the Flower

    The Coachmen whips the reins and urges the horses on, yelling out to them, "Yah!"  The horses start fast - causing the carriage to lurch forward quite suddenly; in no time the horses are at a steady gallop, pulling the carriage swiftly down the cobbled road.  The rain continues to pour down on...

    Marigold, but Not Like the Flower

    The kindness of the coachman (and your look of fearful innocence) persuades him to help, "Aye, I can't be leaving ya' ere'," the tall coachman says to you, nodding his head.  He gestures for you to follow him, walking back to the spot he jumped down from earlier.  He climbs back up, and extends...

    Marigold, but Not Like the Flower

    Your call draws the coachman's attention.  At first, however, he seems unwilling to stop - leaned forward whipping the reins - but then, quite suddenly he pulls back hard on the reins and brings the carriage to a grinding halt.  "Whoa, whoa!" he bellows, leaning back with all his weight to stop...

    Marigold, but Not Like the Flower

    From the beach the boat might have seen you, but from up by the lighthouse you are too far away.  At the same time you reach the top, to make matters worse, the storm comes and settles over you, concealing you in darkness.  The boat disappears into the fog, out of sight, despite your attempt to...

    Marigold, but Not Like the Flower

    You get to the spot bellow the lighthouse after a long walk along the beach.  The clouds above you are still light but, not far off, much darker, more menacing clouds are quickly approaching.  The wind is picking up and blowing hard in their direction, almost as if they themselves are trying to...

    Marigold, but Not Like the Flower

    Introduction: Many common folk admire and envy those that are lucky enough to be born into the highest ranks of society, yet, none would want the life you've endured.  Few realize the danger that awaits at the bottom of the King's Cup, or under the Queen's Bed.  A drop of poison in one, a...

    The Prisoner's Tale

    "Shut your mouth prisoner," the guard says in a gruff, hoarse voice, "And stay away from the bars!" he adds, turning to face you.  His words are bitter and angry, much like the twisted expression on his face.  He looks to be middle-aged, with hard features and menacing eyes.  The hair on his...

    The Prisoner's Tale

    I'll do my best to make it clear enough if something may or may not happen, for example. "You are on the ground, weak and tired.  An angry guard stands near by, he'll likely confront you if you try to stand.  you could probably crawl away without him noticing, but the ground is rocky and will...

    The Prisoner's Tale

    Thank you! You can narrate "some action,"  but anytime you are going to interact with another character, or make a fairly important action (like attacking/killing someone, dodging something, stealing, sneaking by someone, ect.) do it in a way where I can narrate whether or not it is...

    The Prisoner's Tale

    Introduction The life you lived was not so bad, it was a life of work, but work you enjoyed.  You had gone to the citadel, taken a job at the cities finest butchery, and started on a path that would eventually lead to your financial stability, and inevitable rise in society.  You were of...

    The Pantel Expedition

    "Ah, Perfecto," The tall man said slowly (his speech always slow), with a certain air of disinterest in his voice that made the word "Perfecto" come off almost sarcastic. "I'm Giuseppe," he stated, lighting a cigarette in his mouth, as he began to walk away. "Come," Giuseppe beckoned...

    The Red Dawn had seven Cargo Bay's, 1-5 were for Armored Core airships and the remaining two Cargo Bay's were for ground vehicles. Cargo Bay 7 - the one Duncan had been dispatched to - (to be specific) held the Armored Core's famed Striders. <p><a...

    The Pantel Expedition

    The burly officer looked hard at Boyd, his bloodshot eyes mean and piercing, and the veins in his head bulging. "Are you def Boyd!" he shouted, bringing his own face as close to Duncan's as was possible without them touching. "If I didn't have better things to do...I'd...I'd..." he threatened...

    The Pantel Expedition

    "All personnel to staging areas," a very monotonous woman's voice prompted. "I repeat, all personnel to staging areas," the message was on a loop, playing over and over again, broken up intermittently by sirens and flashing red lights. All throughout Red Dawn cadets and crew jogged along at a...
