((Whoops! Sorry. ya'll. First, Pancaek, what is that text color, man? And for wipeout, I'm changing Jane's stuff to Limegreen, because of Dolosus's posting. Also, I may not need overall stats, but I don't know. If I do, I'll do them up soon.))
Sitting down in a nearby chair, eyes narrowed as they look upon the list, Aisha crosses their legs and says, "Aisha wants to leave the planning to the smarter folks.". With a nod, they look at the names of the party.
Tapping two fingers in thought against Queen Tamina's bedside table, the *ahem* Great and Divine Sum Whan considers options before snapping his fingers. "The divine Sum Whan says: Shouldn't we just execute all of your employees then, just to be sure? That seems like the easiest solution.". Right as the word "execute" comes out, the two members of the royal family stare at him with a slack-jawed expression. Suddenly, the booming sound and shaking earth of a Giant interrupt. Popping his head, clad in a fox mask, through a window, which forces Dankrad inside, the Red King known as The Agent says, "My apologies for the delay shortfolk, countries do not run themselves. Even in the real world, such zeal would be a mistake. In my superior opinion, I suggest that we begin with interrogations of the staff.". Queen Tamina says "That would be wise.", while nodding her head.
Sam rolls her eyes after hearing Sum Whan's idea, scoffing lightly under her breath, as she says, "Oh that's a great idea with no repercussions at all, I mean, it's not like doing that would cause a large amount of skilled, loyal, and innocent people to die or anything. Oh no, in reality they are all conspiring against their rightful ruler.". As Sum Whan glares at her, she glares back before turning to the Queen and asking, "Do you know of anyone who isn't a suspect? Like, any particular people who couldn't possibly be related to all this?". Queen Tamina says, "Well, there's my sons, Alo and Derdek. There's my daughter, Anna. There's my main maid, Adela, she takes care of the bedrooms. That's really it, though."
Sum Whan coughs and says, "There is no need to be so sarcastic towards the great and divine Sum Whan's idea. Sum Whan simply said that it would be the most straightforward and effective method to eliminate any traitors on the staff payroll. The great and wonderful Sum Whan is totally okay with interrogating the staff one by one.", before sitting down and crossing his arms slightly. Prince Alo says, "Straightforward? Yes. Effective? Not quite."
The Blaspheme in the room, Anglo Hale, stalks towards the prince and asks, "A list. Everyone working for you. Give it.", which causes him to step back. "W-Well, miss Hale. I can give you the remainder of our castle staff, if it would help.". After Anglo nods and grabs paper and this newfangled device called a "pen", Prince Alo begins talking about them, "I can think of six right now that are high priority. Our castle staff is in the hundreds, but these are suspects for one reason or another. There's Dr. Allcright, our alchemist and inventor. He's a human, born and raised in Staal by two natives of Equinox. Patricia Lightfade, the maid in charge of the dining room and ballroom. She's Carcosian, native born. Gunter Elh, our Blaspheme cook. No one knows much about them, not even gender. Honk-Bonk, real name Ella Ellert, our human jester. Orphan from Lorath's slums. Siesta, our Telrac gardener. He hates Derdek for some reason I can't remember. And then there's our tower guard, Allan Nell. Former member of the local mob, he got off on jail-time in exchange for guarding our family."
Suddenly, a growl emanates from the floor. "I... know a cure...", Dankrad says, his tusked face rising up into view of the Queen. "It requires many ingredients. I need... to see your gardens.". [Sincerity: 10+10 (Objective Bonus)] The Queen eats it up and says, "Alright. I'll grant you access to our garden. The poison in my veins isn't gone, it's just taking a while."
Elena, standing bare in the middle of the room, stealthily looks up to Queen Tamina and Prince Alo's Death Clocks, wanting to see how long they have to live. At their current conditions, Queen Tamina has two months, and three days to live. Prince Alo, on the other hand, has quite the...scary number above his head, showing only two weeks and five days. Frowning, Elena says, "Queen Tamina, Elena would like to question your palace staff, but Elena needs warrant to enter property. Could Queen give Elena warrant?". Queen Tamina nods and presses a button on a small device on the table. "Could you give Captain Etsby a warrant into the castle, Booker?". The male guard from before says, "Well, alright...but why is he nu-" before the Queen cuts him off.
Jane Smith, hands clasped together tightly, sits on a chair and waits.
So, destinations are clear from here. Elena, Anglo, and Dankrad all have a wish to go to the Castle. But who else wishes to arrive through the golden gates?
