DM NOTES: (First off, I'd like to thank EL for his/her efforts in making that summary, as well as the kitchen description which I didn't mind at all, save for making the traps and such so obvious- I was planning for a perfectly normal-looking kitchen trapped like all get out
;
2 Favour for him! And now we return to our somewhat regularly-scheduled Meidoing. Hoo boy are things gonna get strange.)
ABAGAIL:
Having dropped her stuff off in the servant's quarters, which she found quite easily, Abagail heads off to the kitchen, hoping to find the other maids there. Unfortunately, the mansion proves to be much larger than she expected (
DM NOTE: I'm gonna
roll Cunning for you, all right?)- in fact, it seems much larger on the inside than it does on the outside.
Not only that, but some design features don't seem all that... practical.
Suddenly, a loud roar shatters the silence of the hallways, and standing at the top of a stairway, Abagail sees a lion walk past the steps at the bottom. It doesn't seem to see her, thankfully, but only because something across the hallway at the bottom of the stairs caught its eye...
MARYBELLE:
Marybelle has no trouble keeping up with Abagail, despite the latter's speed, and like Abagail, she witnesses the wild animal's haunches lower. Whatever the lion has seen, it looks like prey...
AYAME:
Though she doesn't know it yet, the extent of Kenji's injuries means that her rushed attempt to heal him hasn't helped in the least; if anything, he's more injured now than he's ever been. Even so, when he wakes up, Kenji will find himself approving of this; women acting all nice and polite to him gets his hackles raised. One who's apparently actively trying to kill him? Why, that's practically
normal. And the fact that she failed? Incompetent too! If there wasn't a more womanly woman to woman the womaning woman since Eve, Kenji didn't know about her. Once he untangles all his limbs, and maybe realigns his internal organs, he's gonna give her a piece of his inconcievable mind.
(
DM NOTE: Like I did with Abagail, I'd like to
roll your Affection to save time, since this is too hilarious to not qualify as a Seduction attempt. Looks like
Kenji lost! Congrats, Ayame! Now you function as another Master for Kenji, meaning you can give him orders and have them obeyed, though if he does anything you like, you're gonna have to award him Favour from your own pool. Whether your low roll was a bane or boon, well, that's up to you. If you don't like this result though, I'm willing to work something else out. this IS a big thing after all. )
SARINA:
Like Abagail, Sarina finds herself semi-lost in the mansion. Like Abagail, she finds her way eventually. Like Abagail, she notices that something's wrong with the mansion- as if someone had been playing hell with spatial relationships within the place. And like Abagail, Sarina sees the lion.
UNLIKE Abagail, however, Sarina finds herself the focus of said lion, which wiggles it's butt for a few moments before leaping to pounce, mouth wide open- and promptly flying over the maid as the mansion shakes, bringing Sarina down onto her fundament mere moments before the lion reached her.
HANAKO:
Whlist searching the kitchen, Hanako
doesn't notice (
DM NOTE: Cunning roll) one rather important fact- now that the kitchen is clean, the floor seems to have a certain... pattern embossed upon it. A pattern whose boundaries are crossed as Hanako's shoes scuffle the edges of. Though she manages to
jump out of the way in time to avoid the spurting lava, launched brimstone and scalding smoke rising from the floor...
Whatever might come out of the hell gate now towering from the middle of the kitchen might not be so easily dodged.
KAORU:
Having tidied up the kitchen, Kaoru turns her attentions to the cooking utensils, only to witness the hellish gate rising through the floor, smashing the immaculate tiles as the mansion shakes with its ascent. A loud, mocking laughter fills the air...
