[Xantalos]

...you can have one. Return it quickly.

Grant him one knife.

[Tomcost]

((Yeahhh, now I'm not defenseless!))

Put the knife in my clothes and look outside of the house if there is something of interest.

[Innsmothe]

Scott accepts the willow infusion, nodding appreciatively at the mention of tea.

Grab a spoon and administer the infusion, trusting in its pain relieving properties.

[miauw62]

Kevin notices that that vampire and his tree-friend don't seem to have legitimate intents with the contents of his house, so he follows them upstairs. When he notices that the tree-skeleton takes his most valued possesion, his set of old playing cards, granted to him by a baron that he entertained for many years, rage fills his bones and he grabs them from his filthy metal hands.

((I feel that a barrage of MSPA references will be coming my way quite soon. That is, if Harry reads Homestuck . Not that I want to play this character that way.))

[Harry Baldman]

On the first floor of the Yaleson house...

Mark tries to utilize the fine cards he just stole for some marvelous divination. After all, they should be good for something of that sort, right? They certainly look weird enough. He looks through the deck. So, if he's got this right, he should... um... do... something. Ah.

[Grabbing of Cards: Kevin vs. Mark: 6+1 vs. 6+1]

He is, however, rudely interrupted by Kevin, who seems to believe he has a claim on the cards. However, Mark, aided by his soul-o-vision, manages to see him coming and put the cards away before they are stolen. He gives the indignant jester a nasty look. That is, he would if he had a face. But alas, he does not.

Meanwhile, Sigmund, stymied in his weapon-gathering attempts, goes over to Niklas and asks for a knife as politely as he can.

"That cleaver you have looks pretty sharp, I have to say, as well as the rest of this knives you have here. You, actually, have done an excellent job with them!. Would you mind, sir, if I borrow one of them? See, as we have been recently soulbound, our new master is probably going to use us as fodder, so a means of defending myself would be necessary for my survival. I hope that you understand."

Niklas gives him a skeptical look.

"...you can have one. Return it quickly."

He gives Sigmund one of the ridiculously sharp knives he has. Sigmund takes it and places it in his clothes. Oh dear, it seems to have sliced a hole in his pocket just from being placed within it! It's all Sigmund can do to hold on to it, doing a strange sort of dance to keep the knife from falling right out of his pricy outfit.


On the second floor of the house...

Scott quickly takes the infusion from Morton and sends the butler on his way, then begins to apply it with his fingers, as there is no spoon available. After all, what harm could it do, really?

[Gary endurance roll: 2]

As he smears some of the viscous dark... paste, really, as it seems a bit too thick to be really called a proper liquid, Gary's eyes widen. As the paste is applied, Scott sees Gary's flesh rapidly turn black around the area it was applied to, as if something irredeemably vile had been placed on it! The strange smell of the paste quickly mixes with the scent of rot as Gary's left kidney area starts to turn into dead flesh.

Something tells him that this might not exactly be a willow bark infusion. Just a hunch, you know.

[Tomcost]

Hide the knife in a drawer, so I can grab it if I feel necessary, then peek outside to see what is nearby.

((Harry, would you mind doing a sort of Artiste idea roll so he can react and give us emm, tasks?))

[Harry Baldman]

((Harry, would you mind doing a sort of Artiste idea roll so he can react and give us emm, tasks?))

He's pretty busy chilling with the gang. However, not for very much longer. After all, he did come here to get shelter.

[miauw62]

Kevin was really starting to get mad, and tries to distract Mark with his hilarious acts and reclaims his cards when he is distracted.

[Xantalos]

Niklas, bored, cuts up the roast boar and serves it on little plates.

[Xanmyral]

[Oh man, that won't be good. Also, there was a sponge just for said application upon the skin, as well as a bowl and a cup to drink it if wanted.]

Morton bows out of the room as Master Scott takes the willow extract, then proceeds back downstairs to the kitchen to finish preparation of the tea for the guests, and the Masters.

If he sees Kevin, the jester skeleton, and the strange tree-headed traveler go at it on his way to the kitchen, he'll attempt to break it up peacefully, if not however he just continues finishing up the making of the tea.

When/If he gets to the kitchen, he will give a polite nod to Head Chief Niklas, with a "Salutations Head Chief Niklas, do tell me if I'm in your way sir. Happy to see that the knife issue was sorted and everything is as it should be. Ah guests, its been a while." Carter couldn't help but smile to himself as he hurried up in tea preparations, hoping to impress the travelers and make peace with that one strange tree-headed fellow.

[Tomcost]

((Harry, would you mind doing a sort of Artiste idea roll so he can react and give us emm, tasks?))

He's pretty busy chilling with the gang. However, not for very much longer. After all, he did come here to get shelter.

((Oh, it doesn't matter then. I just felt that my character lacked a purpose after being enslaved for his whole unlife))

[Harry Baldman]

On the first floor of the Yaleson house...

Sigmund quickly stashes his knife in a drawer after making sure nobody is spying on him, then looks outside. Looks like the blasted woods are nearby. Beyond that, it's difficult to see on account of all the blasted woods around. How tiresome.

Kevin, realizing that he isn't dealing with any sort of ordinary card thief, employs superior goofery to liberate his supposedly prized possession from the metal fiend's grasp.

[Kevin Hilarious Acts roll: 2+1]

He does a bit of an embarrassing dance. Mark gives him a pity clap, being taught to not make fun of fools from an early age. Kevin, his plan having fallen apart, tries to snatch the cards again!

[Card Theft: Kevin vs. Mark: 6+1 vs. 5+1]

He grabs fully one fourth of the cards out of Mark's grasp. Oh well. A small victory is still a victory! Before he can reclaim any more, he is interrupted by Morton, who takes Kevin by the arm and takes him to the Bad Behavior Corner in the kitchen. Which was, incidentally, the direction he was already going! He politely nods to Niklas, who appears to be busy cutting up the boar into bits to place on separate plates, most of which have seen better days.

"Salutations, Head Chief Niklas, do tell me if I'm in your way, sir. Happy to see that the knife issue was sorted and everything is as it should be. Ah, guests, it's been a while."

He then sets about preparing some tea for the guests. Utilizing the clear spring water, he makes the best damn tea that he can make, and that is pretty damn good, mind you! Nobody makes tea like Morton, and today is the day he proves it once and for all. And not in an ironic, kill-everyone sort of way one might expect!

[Xanmyral]

Morton, very pleased and proud of the tea he brewed up, set it in the finest pitcher he could find, and grabs as equally fine glasses as there are people in the house. Lets see... One for Master Scott, one for Master Gary, one for Niklas if he wants some, some for Kevin although he's not sure if he can drink any, some for each of the guests, and of course, one for himself, which he sets aside in the kitchen to drink later.

Taking a platter for the glasses and pitcher, he sets them on said platter and sets Niklas' glass of tea where he can find it, then sets out politely offering a glass to everyone in the house that he can find. Even Kevin, being in the BBC doesn't exclude him from a glass of tea. When he gives Kevin his tea, he says something to the skeletal Jester. "Now now, I will try and see if I can get your cards back. I know they're a favorite of yours, and it is truly rude of the guest to simply take them, but we mustn't be rude back to the guests, such isn't the way."

When he offers Mark his glass of tea, Morton will say, "Now, sir, can I please see those cards? I'm truly sorry for my compatriots actions, but those cards are precious to him and he's a bit jumpy when others touch them. If you like, I think I can find regular playing cards somewhere in the house to replace those." With that settled, Carter will make his way upstairs after offering everyone a glass besides the Masters upstairs. With a knock on the door, Morton speaks through the it. "Master Scott, I have the tea ready for when you wish it." Morton couldn't help but have a happy grin on his face, this will surely cheer everyone up! Nothing like a fine cup of tea to brighten one's day, that's what he always said!

[miauw62]

Kevin, still not satisfied, heads downstairs and gets the remaining three quarters of his cards.

[killerhellhound]

give the cards back and go hunting in the woods
