[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 6903766, member: 6702445"] [B][SIZE=5]Part 2: The Oak Hills[/SIZE] Caspian:[/B] I think it's time for the Magus to move to the Oak Hills. [B]Host:[/B] Everyone take back their tokens. [B]Caspian:[/B] So this is in the Magus's words? [B]Host:[/B] Yes, so when you play the Magus, show us who they are, what they're thinking, and how we travel together. Just as you would your own character. [B]Caspian:[/B] Okay. [B]Host:[/B] And you're going to describe to us the Oak Hills first, and eventually the ending of summer. [B][B][SIZE=4]Magus / The Oak Hills: The Ending of Summer[/SIZE][/B] Caspian:[/B] The Magus is looking out of his tower over the hills. He furrows his brow and makes a dour face. He walks over to a large wardrobe and pulls out a long, thick cloak with a fur trim along the top. Then he turns, and Vago will be there. He says to Vago, "Are you a traveling man?" [B]Vago:[/B] "I've ... crossed some roads, sir." [B]Caspian/Magus:[/B] "The Oak Hills?" [B]Vago:[/B] "Not before." [B]Caspian/Magus:[/B] "It's time." [B]Vago:[/B] "Your slippers, sir?" [B]Caspian/Magus:[/B] "No. Not the slippers, not the sweeping, not the garden. This is the last summer." [B]Vago:[/B] "And what comes after next spring?" [B]Caspian/Magus:[/B] "For you, perhaps another summer." [B]Vago:[/B] "You don't mean that." [B]Caspian/Magus:[/B] "I appreciate the pleasantries, really, Vago. But we must ready for travel--you, myself, the boys, the scholar." [B]Vago:[/B] "All right. I'll arrange your horse and the coach then." [B]Caspian/Magus:[/B] He stares out over the hills, and the way he sees, it isn't just the hills from a distance; he sees closer. It moves in, and he can see the workers in the fields. He can see the wheat moving and growing and reaching its height. He's like, "Yes." [B]Vago:[/B] "The coach." [B]Caspian/Magus:[/B] "Yes, the coach. All the provisions we can carry." [B]Vago:[/B] "A long trip?" [B]Caspian/Magus:[/B] "My last." [B]Vago:[/B] "Oh." [B]Caspian/Magus:[/B] "Yes." [B]Vago:[/B] I back out of the room and close the door behind me. [B]Caspian:[/B] As you close the door, he's looking off in the distance, and he can see a tree. It's a very stout oak with a very broad trunk to it, and as he's watching, the leaves he sees, just on the edges of it, just slightly start to turn brown and golden. He turns back on his heel and goes to the door. [B]Harp:[/B] You get to describe Oak Hills too, don't you? [B]Host:[/B] I think that [I]was[/I] the description. [B]Harp:[/B] Oh! Got it. [B]Host:[/B] It was a little unorthodox because he was describing it from a distance, but it's going to be fine, because now we'll still be there. [B]Caspian:[/B] Sure. [SIZE=4] [B]Vago / At Dawn: Your Morning Ritual[/B][/SIZE] [B]Vago:[/B] I think at dawn, Vago's morning ritual would consist of... [B]Host:[/B] First... [B]Vago:[/B] Oh, sorry. At dawn. They've been a few days on the road. The inn that they're staying at is in a nice, rolling part of the Oak Hills. It's wooded nearby; you could miss the place if you weren't looking for it. A few other people are staying at this particular inn. Vago tries to be up early, but the innkeeper is up earlier somehow; does this guy sleep? Pots are clanging downstairs. Bacon smells throughout the place just over the stables. Light is just breaking across the canopy of trees. Vago wakes up. They've been traveling for a few days now, and the Magus insists on covering as much ground as possible. He seems like he's got somewhere to be, more so than enjoying his leisurely trip, so Vago does his best to get horses ready. He comes down and visits with the innkeeper for just a moment. "Thank you. Yes, we'll be leaving very early today. No, nothing you've done wrong. No, no, don't worry about it; everything's fine. I'll see to the horses. Please arrange for breakfast. A small breakfast. We'll be leaving very shortly. --No, again, nothing you've done wrong. Please stop. I'll be back." He sees to the horses; they've been brushed down the night before, but saddling takes a while. Making sure that the horses are fed and watered in the morning is all part of what Vago does every day now, and he'll take the horses out of the stable, tie them up outside, and then go to see to the Magus. He takes the breakfast from the trays downstairs up the stairs with him. Here comes another one of his weird, wistful looks over the horizon. Get ready for it. [I] [pause][/I] I keep on forgetting the importance of the location when I start doing my scene. [B]Host:[/B] It's an easy thing to forget. But it makes it feel much more potent, doesn't it? [B]Vago:[/B] It really does, yeah. [B]Piccolo:[/B] So as of the end of your scene, we were just leaving, then? [B]Vago:[/B] Just about to leave, yeah. [B]Host:[/B] And as always, don't feel restricted by that. [B]Piccolo:[/B] Okay. [/QUOTE]
