AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

[Silver Moon]

OOC: I've been working on the "Story Hour" as of late, as I will need it to calculate the experience points from this module. I'm about one-third of the way through our 3rd CM thread (now to a point around two years ago player time). I had been thinking lately that we played out the Battle of Tel El-Kabir at dawn on the 13th, when it occurred in real life, but in posting it may have been a day earlier in our story. If that is then the next character day will be Wednesday the 13th rather than Thursday the 14th. Either way, move ahead to the next day and I'll fix it when I know for sure.

She asks if Abigail needs anything further.

"No. No, thank you, you're very kind." The young lady curtsied and left the room, and Abby hoped that she had not been obliged to wait up for them to come home.

Any other day Abby would have poked around the room, looking at this and that. But tonight she just picked up the nightdress that had been thoughtfully left for her and went into the bathroom. The basics had been provided for her, and she took care of her bedtime routine quickly.

She slipped into the luxurious bed and pulled up the covers. Any bed was luxurious, she had learned this over the years of sleeping wherever she could find a spot, but this one was especially so. She barely had time to release a deep sigh before she was asleep again.

When Abigail awakens the sun is shining through the fold where the draperies meet. Looking across the room to a clock on the mantle above the fireplace she sees that it is now 10:30AM.

Neferka tells George, "The messages will be sent for tomorrow's meetings. What hour do you wihs to start? She says to Ruby "Enjoy your night with your man, you've earned it."

OOC: I'm done posting until the next character day at this point.

George replied, "9am."

"Thank you Your Majesty, and you have a good night."

With that George and Ruby retire to their room. Ruby plopped on the bed, full and tired. George began undressing and when he turned back to look at Ruby, she was already passed out on the bed. He kissed Ruby on the cheek and passed out next to her.

When Abigail awakens the sun is shining through the fold where the draperies meet. Looksing across the room to a clock on the mantle above the fireplace she sees that it is now 10:30AM.

Abby stretched, the pulled the covers up a bit tighter. For a moment, she hoped she might sleep a bit more, but the colored sunlight behind the draperies was enticing, and eventually she pushed back the covers and swung her feet to the floor.

First order of business was a bath. Her own dress had been cleaned, and another had been left in the room that looked as if it would fit, and very well. She went into the pristine white bathroom. Tiles lined the walls up to the height of her shoulder, where the same rich, dark wood as decorated the bedroom reached up to the high ceiling. The accents were all deep green. The towels, the mat on the floor, the delicate knotwork hand-painted on the tiles as a border around the room. It was by far the richest room she'd ever had to herself.

The water ran hot almost immediately, and Abby filled the tub, leaving just enough room to fit herself in without water spilling out. As she sank in, she noticed for the first time several ugly bruises from the last few days, and a yellowish tinge to her arms at the shoulders where her arms had gotten pulled. The hot water helped soak the aches and pains away, and when the water finally began to cool she pulled herself out and dressed in the lovely red dress that had been left for her.

Back out in the main bedroom, she looked at the bell pull that would summon a servant to the room. She didn't really need anything, but she also didn't really know where she was going in the house. Finally she decided just to go out and see what she would find. Which would hopefully be breakfast of some kind.

OOC: Just like those old "Rated M for Mature" posts from the 'Wild West' days.

Abby finds herself in the middle of a central corridor of the second floor interior. The corridor is illuminated by magical light, is ten feet wide and that runs over twenty feet both left and right. There is another door directly opposite the one she exited and two more pairs of doors opposite each other on the same falls fifteen feet both left and right. The wall at both ends of the corridor to the right has a pair of doors on them while the wall at the corridor's end on the left has three doors on it. She also sees to the right where the first floor staircase reaches the second floor.

George awakens at 8:00AM. As he exits the bedroom of the suite he sees that a pair of young Egyptian teenage girls are waiting to assist him. One says that she has drawn him a bath while the other presents him with the clothing that he had worn the previous day, which has now been cleaned and pressed. He also notices one addition, as a holster with a revolver has been attached to his belt.

As certain as she was that she must be the last one sleeping, it still didn't seem very polite to stick her nose into what were certain to be private, family rooms. Instead, she turned to the right and followed the staircase back down to the first floor.

OOC: lol! Too true. I have to break J into those easily, you know? Plus, all poor Ruby had to worry about back then was what she was going to wear, or not wear, Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy gang. Now it's the fate of Egypt and negotiating with the Gods that is her torment, tiring work, right? ;-) [\ooc]
