Yankee Samarai09/29/2019
How quickly the heathen, by skill or, most likely, pagan magic, was able to set the prisoner free from the post
He was fast.
Toron watches from a distance as doctors tend to Scarface. words such as "Fever," and "Amputate," reach his ears.
He walks out of the hospital, seething.
little song09/29/2019 "Hey." Ayla checking her arrows fletching. "How’s your arm?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Turns fast. "How's my arm!?"
little song09/29/2019 Carefree smile. "Quite the show earlier."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "Show? Didn't you see what happened to the Commander? "All that trouble for only half a prize!"
little song09/29/2019 "True. But you must admit. Like kid looks like a girl totally blows past the traps and almost kills the commander. That was something. It was hectic too. Couldn’t even get a shot in. "I can see why the master want Hwarang."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "I dont...he did right blowing em ta bits."
little song09/29/2019 "And honestly he was the one they wanted first anyway... she got teleport healed you think?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "I tried to stop it."
little song09/29/2019 "Yeah. Gutsy. Your arms were bloody. It hurt you being that close."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "It was the stone that made the bleeding? I thought it was the girl. Anyway, I want to go look for her. "Commander isn't losing his arm for nothing."
little song09/29/2019 "He’s losing his arm! "From a gash!"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "I only heard them mention it honestly, but I saw the wound, the blade went through his shoulder, came out the other side, everything's a mess." "Healers might make it well again...they seemed doubtful for whatever reason."
little song09/29/2019 "But he’s not going to die right?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "T-they said fever, but I couldn't hear anything else. "I don't know."
little song09/29/2019 "Okay. "Do you know if the other two survived?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "We only lost one brother, because he was poisoned." Angry face.
little song09/29/2019 "Oh... dirty trick."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "Why are you so pleased at it eh!?"
little song09/29/2019 "It just was... impressive. I don’t know. "We'll get her eventually?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "Well daggunit Ayla!!! We surrounded by five powerful kingdoms, lost Donindor, lost a potential alliance! Lost men, and you think it's IMPRESSIVE!? I'm going to see the Master RIGHT NOW! I am going to bring her in, for justice sake."
little song09/29/2019 "Your so up tight all the time... sighs and gets up to follow.. We don’t even know where it took her?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "I think I know who to ask." Walks towards prison facility.
little song09/29/2019 "Do we have clearance for that?" Follows excited.
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Sigh. "You're right...I should see Master first."
[Toron explains his intentions to Baldwin.] Baldwin stares at the pair.
little song09/29/2019 "Do you have any idea where she was sent master. We want to make this right."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Toron is at his most professional, trying to hide how nervous he is. Baldwin smiles a bit. "Amusing...two from among my elite, want to travel cross country when our predicament is so dire. You calculated our situation correctly Sir Toron. This...vigilante mission is outside the realm of our mission. "But..." Turns and taps fingers on the table. Toron: "With respect your Highness, it's for Navik, who was killed, and thinking quickly in the moment It's for your brother, to bring that witch to justice." Baldwin: Hands clench.
little song09/29/2019 "And for your sake. We will not stand to have you slighted."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Baldwin: "The one who slighted me is dying, but I admire your loyalty nonetheless."
little song09/29/2019 Blinks.. "Wasn’t... he... never mind."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Turns. "As you know, I am leaving for Pura Sanctum soon which leaves our situation even more fragile. I am confident in the loyalty of my brothers and sisters, and their resolve, but I need my best minds here, and my best soldiers, to wait until called to Pura or for my return. "Do you both understand?"
little song09/29/2019 "I understand sir."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Toron is silent, he nods.
little song09/29/2019 "Did you ... um... "Did you question the Kokkan?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Baldwin: "For what?"
little song09/29/2019 "He would know where his sister went. And he might know about the ones that have been hiding in the woods. "It’s not necessary I’m sure."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Toron's eyes light with hope, although his face stays stiff. Baldwin: Smile. "Oh you two..." Toron: At attention. "We won't fail you, Sire!"
little song09/29/2019 Smiles back..
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Baldwin gestures with his head. "Go get em," it says. Toron, nearly losing his composure, performs the flier de aliese salute, and walks out.
little song09/29/2019 Salute and bows and follows. "So he’s dying? We need to work quick."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 When they are free of the HQ, Toron interrupts their brisk pace, grabs Ayla, and smacks his lips on her forehead, then continues towards the cell block. "Thank you for that bit back there...you're a genius Ayla!"
little song09/29/2019 Dazed for a moment.... "Okay..."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "Sorry, I suppose some Vachelous custom wearing on me during my time at Navis Roche."
little song09/29/2019 "You guys are weird."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "I'm not from there, no sirry! But, you know, enough time and they get to you."
little song09/29/2019 "Yeah. I guess "Hey, to the guy at the gate.. We have instructions to question the Kokkan."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Opens gate, leads them to cell. Guard: "Wish you had orders to kill him." Guiscard, still sharing Sukoshi's cell, idly breaks straw in his hands, his eyes always on his dying brother. He instinctively reaches for the Origami bird, it is not there. He hears the footsteps approaching.
little song09/29/2019 Sukoshi hanging very dazed and practically unconscious now.
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Cell is unlocked, and creaks open. Guiscard stands, seeing ill-intent in the eyes of his visitors. He doesn't resist when the guards chain him on the wall opposite Sukoshi.
little song09/29/2019 "What is the traitor doing here." Glances to him.
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Guard: "Master wanted him to see a Kokkan die, for his purities sake."
little song09/29/2019 "Hmm. Unfortunately not as effective as watching the girl burn." Lifts Sukoshi head. "Hey?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Toron approaches Sukoshi.
little song09/29/2019 He blinks..
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "He's awake!" Guiscard shows his uneasiness. Toron takes Sukoshi's jaw. "Where did you send her? "Where!?"
little song09/29/2019 Stares at him blankly..
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Toron: "Guard, chain his legs." Guard follows order.
little song09/29/2019 She taps his wound and he barely flinches. "He’s almost gone, Toron."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "Wow! The day I ask Elyon to preserve the life of a heathen." To Guards, "Find me something to stabilize him!"
little song09/29/2019 Shakes head. "Yeah weird."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Guiscard at first wants to protest and offer himself instead, but he remembers his last talk with Kashi, and keeps silent, his action is rewarded by seeing how they are going to give his brother medical care.
little song09/29/2019 "Looks to Guiscard? Did he tell you anything?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Guiscard: :Can't trust the word of a traitor can you? I could tell you anything and you wouldn't believe me."
little song09/29/2019 "You're acting more meek finally." Rolls eyes.
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Guiscard: Is silent. Toron: "Don't listen to him Ayla. He'd never spill anyway."
little song09/29/2019 Looks back to Sukoshi. "Should we get a healer too or can you keep him alive for now?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Man-at-Arms who seems a professional herbalist: "Here, give him this, should ease his pain enough to bring back his awareness, but then give him this, it will induce a temporary paralysis of his limbs."
little song09/29/2019 "Smart." Takes them and pours the first one in his mouth holding it closed. "Come on swallow."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "Also rub this ointment on his wound, we don't want him blacking out before you find what you need."
little song09/29/2019 Sukoshis eyes closed now. [Ayla] Slaps the side of his face. "Not yet kid." Sukoshi blinks and swallows.
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Toron glares.
little song09/29/2019 And then puts the other one in..
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "Well? Wake up."
little song09/29/2019 Starts bandaging the wound. Shakes head.. "Weak."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Guiscard: suppressing his words, but anxious. Toron: "Doc...how long is it supposed to take?" Doc: "Any second."
little song09/29/2019 Sukoshi hangs head closing his eyes again. A: "Hey!" Smacks his face again.
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Guard: "Betchya he's faking."
little song09/29/2019 S: Dazed. "What?"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Guard and Toron jump, hands go their weapons. Guiscard contains a small laugh.
little song09/29/2019 Ayla backs up. Sukoshi looks up blinking.
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Toron braves it first, drawing his flintlock. "Where is she?" he asks, putting the weapon to Sukoshi's jaw.
little song09/29/2019 "I’m already dying."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 "But it could be a lot less painful!" Flips it, holding it like a hammer, threatening to strike on his torso wound.
little song09/29/2019 [Sukoshi]: "You're funny. I’ve been through a lot worse. Hwarang's final test is to ensue we can withstand anything we may have to." Ayla smiles. Her eyes going to hate though.
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Toron backs off, huffing. When he turns, he sees Guiscard, and his brow widens. He points the barrel at him Guiscard braces against the wall, speaks calmly. "Don't do it boy." Toron: To Sukoshi, "Tell me how many were with you in the woods, where they are, and where the girl went." Guiscard: "There are many things worth killing, perhaps you need your ammo for the Pale in these woods." Toron: "Be quiet!" Guard exits briefly, and returns with a gag for Guiscard. Doc: "You know-!" Toron: "Tell me Kokkan!" Cocks weapon.
little song09/29/2019 Swallows. "He could tell you. I prefer to act alone. I left them to find my sister. I don’t know where they went or chose to hold up."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 As the gag is going on Guiscard: "Don't tell them anything Sukoshi, they can't kill me yet! Mmphh!" Toron is furious. "Fine then! Tell me where she is, or we will destroy Kokka." "Not that there is much left, mostly the sky island, but you might save what is left of your people right?"
little song09/29/2019 "Can you live with yourself. Killing that many innocent people." Looks away. A: "Heathens." S: Deep breath.
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Doc: "Hey! I could-!" Toron: Fumes. "Tell me." Doc: "HEY!" Toron turns his attention to him. Doc: puts arms in the air. "I could make a truth serum!" Displays a look of [I]duh[/I]
little song09/29/2019 Ayla: "Doesn’t mean he will speak. We could also just move him and go full in. I’ve tortured blue cloaks before."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Doc: Rolls eyes. "Kids..." Toron: "I like your idea Ayla." To the Doc. "But step on that, it might save time."
little song09/29/2019 A: "We could find out if he actually doesn’t know where the others are that way."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Doc: "Well okay, golly, you hired herbalists for these sorts of things, crazy people." Has a small, nasally voice.
little song09/29/2019 "I can’t move." A: "Of course you can’t. Doc how long does the paralyzing stuff last?!"
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 Doc: "About twenty minutes, depends, could be shorter. He looks like he hasn't eaten recently, so that will speed up the digestion." Toron: "Get to work, Ayla."
little song09/29/2019 [Ayla]: "Tables are helpful for this. Somewhere where screams don’t disturb many people. I guess here is fine."
Yankee Samarai09/29/2019 The gates of Middlemarch creak open. A patrol rides out.
little song09/29/2019 "Hey." Ayla checking her arrows fletching. "How’s your arm?"
