ROYAL RETAINER

• YOU AWAKE IN A HAZE, head throbbing and body aching. A cloud of mental fog clings to your mind as you drag yourself up off the ground and onto your feet; You have… no idea where you are. Laid out before you is an old castle turned hotel, sprawling hundreds of acres over the lush and extravagant countryside. Turning and looking into the valley, you can see a modest city off in the distance, as well as a towering Spire erupting from it’s center. Without any idea as to how you got here, and that city being much too far to walk to at the moment, you have no choice but to head inside.

Despite being so old, the insides of the hotel are immaculate and very well kept. It looks to be a place fitting of royalty! The front desk is empty, but behind it is a list of rules that all ‘tenants’ must follow, as well as a guestbook with room keys and a list of names. The hotel has everything one might need; Luxurious rooms, a large fully-stocked dining hall, a gorgeous courtyard, and even a pool. But… no staff.

Who’s keeping this place so tidy? Why does the hotel fix itself over time? Why can’t anyone leave?  Why is the town desolate? This place seems to be rolling with mystery, mysteries that you will all have to band together to figure out the answers to! Good luck! •

I’m finding it difficult to find memes for nonverbal characters ( be they mute, or just not fond of talking ) so I thought I’d make a few!

the mainland has a more hectic air about it than the island his lakeside lodgings sit upon. to corvo, beaulieu feels as though it bears a weight its residents would sooner forget; it’s evident in the ruined buildings that lie just beyond the outskirts of civilization. the royal protector, too, would prefer to spend time away than go asking after things that aren’t his business.

the walk across the bridge to koi does well to clear his head of some proverbial fog. things seem to pick up immediately when he sets foot on the other side. people are everywhere. streets are lined one and all with places to go or things to see.

it’s more than enough of a distraction, he supposes.

corvo picks a young man with a cane out of the approaching individuals on the sidewalk. his steps are measured and slow, and other pedestrians give him a decent enough berth as they move around. 

the royal protector hopes an offer of aid won’t be perceived as shallow pity. it’s just that the man seems… unsure. maybe a little lost. corvo wouldn’t feel right leaving him without asking.

Quite the change in demeanor, from one moment to the other, even if the tension does leave Ignis's shoulders after the older man speaks- there's something to his guard that never quite settles down.

He concentrates on the man's voice, and figures the life he may lead, one that has molded him into strength, or whipped him into a steadfast soldier. Many talk about the eyes of combatants, Ignis has realized their voices say so much as well.

However, it is best not to leave him hanging. "My, how kind of you. However, I am truly, just wandering. Getting acquainted with the breeze like one might say."
