Em sat at a table to the left of Lord Kronos, taking off her cloak and hanging it over the back of the chair. | |
Magnis took a seat from across of Em and proceeded rest his face in his hands, muttering swear words as usual. | |
Hammond, wanting to voice his hatred of this particular establishment, sat backwards on the chair next to Em, turning the chair rather than his own body. If he couldn't talk like a prat, apparently he'd act like one. "Mind if I swap food with either of you guys? I'm sure he's got cooks poisoning mine as we speak." | |
Ari sat next to Magnis rubbed her eyes. | |
Lord Kronos motioned to a couple servants who hurried over "Find the viking some clothes." He said, the servants hurried away. "And as for you, Hammond:If it really concerns you that much I will eat a portion from your plate to prove it isn't poisoned." | |
"Acceptable... Hurry back." | |
Before long a great feast was set out befor him, Two plates were set before Lord Kronos, one of which he sampled before sending it on to Hammond, cups of ale following soon after. | |
Em ate slowly, picking at her food. For some reason she wasn't very hungry. | |
"Yes, and no you can't have them." | |
Magnis quickly smashed his head against the food filled plate, careless eating his food with simply his mouth just as a barbarian normally would. "Well, its not poisoned!" | |
| |
Em sighed and continued picking at her food. She fiened a yawn, hoping she could work up enough credibility to pretend she was tired. | |
Having moved on to her fourth loaf of bread and splashing most of her first bowl of soup around and including the table, Ari realised how hungery she actually was. She looked up when she heard Em yawn and peeled back the soggy hair from her eyes. | |
Hammond poked his fork uneasily through the assortment of food, a veritable feast of white meats and vegetables prepared by what he could only assume were very capable chefs, yet he'd grown a bit paranoid of it now. He was almost sure, even after the tasting had been done by the Lord himself, that it was poison. Especially the drink. Lordy didn't jump to taste test that, did he? He simply pocketed the fork, thinking Em would like it, and pretended to eat as Magnis was doing. He was actually depositing the food as a present for the cleaners to find later. | |
As the group continued eating a shadow momentarily flickered over hammond, who fell unconcious and disappeared, soon replaced by another being who looked exactly like Hammond, the doppelganger promptly continued eating. | |
"Yeah, ok I will. Thanks Ari." Em said, rubbing her eyes and standing up. She bowed to Lord Kronos. As soon as she was out of the room, Em stretched her arms. | |
Two cloaked figures carrying scythes appeared in the periphery of Em's vision Beware, young one. all is not well, the palace burns tonight whispered a voice in Em's mind. | |
"... Dat aint good." Em said to herself, closing her bedroom door slowly.
She left the note on the bed, weighed down by a small rock. Then Em disappeared through the door, letting it fall closed with a soft 'click'. | |
| |
Hammond's half-empty plate of meats and vegetables disappeared before his eyes, the room around him went black and he rather forcefully left his consciousness behind. Before anyone had noticed he'd been replaced by some exact opposite. Ah, fuck. Get up already. If I wanted to sleep I'd have gone to bed already... | |
Em headed back to the dinner hall, but slowed down as she neared some guards. | |
The guard simply stared down at Em | |
Alo, shuffled along the window ledge, looking in on the feasting. | |
Em noticed the guard seemed to almost flicker, before appearing solid again. She narrowed her eyes, but continued towards the dinner hall. "Hey guys, I think something's wrong! The guards are al flickery and someone just told me that the palace is gonna burn down. Plus there's a weird guy on the floor over there." She said, hoping they would believe her, while at the same time being very confused herself. | |
| |
Ari had moved onto the bacon when she saw Hammond stiffen for a moment. | |
| |
Lord Kronos rose quickly, looking somewhat confused, he then looked at the table, pulled out a pistol, and put a bullet through "Hammond's" head. the doppelganger fell and the image of hammond faded, being replaced by a man wearing a blank mask with circuitry running along it, with the exception of the large hole in it. | |
"Hi Ari, bye Ari." She said, watching Ari run past her. Em ran over to the man on the floor, pulling him up. | |
Lord Kronos lifted the table and tossed it through the hole Alo had made in the window. "Wait. come with me, quickly!" He exclaimed, motioning to the group as he headed for the wall behind him. | |
"Okay... Sure... Not a problem!" Em said, turning around slowly and shuffling after Kronos instead. | |

The group was lead to a grand hall, there were several large tables withing, all currently empty "Please, find your seats, the food shall be brought out shortly." Said lord Kronos, heading for a rather large seat at an even larger table.
