JA's - The Prince's Own

[J. Alexander]

"A most perplexing set of circumstances indeed" then pausing he says "We shall think on it for a day or two, while William recovers". You are to stay in the sick wards until such time as we determine what is going on and where to place you."

The king then stands up and leaves the room. An escourt awaits you in the hall to take you back.

"Anyting you want to do before i advance time"

Declan

Declan rose as the King rose, concerned that they were no nearer the answers to who, why and how than...that morning. I do not like Miranda's role in this. If she lives, I should seek her out.

Declan has nothing further to say to the other guests, and directs his escort to take him to a chapel, shrine or some other quiet area where he might pray for some time.

Yevas accompanies the escort back to the sick bay and settles in for a few days of enforced boredom until someone worked out what to do with them. Once they are alone he says "Apart from all of your suggestion as to why we were spared, a couple of others spring to mind. I didn't bring them up before the king as they are less flattering and I'm sure they would occur to him anyway. Firstly, the assassin had a large number of people to dispatch and not that much time, so he may have just missed us. Alternatively, terrorists sometimes like to leave witnesses, so they deliberately missed us. In either case, the only reason we are alive is shear luck."

When you arrive back at the Infirmary you find that instead of the one common room, the large hall has been subdivided with wooden screens and curtains to from smaller more private bedrooms.

Thanee : no just being a ruler with to much on his mind..just because he asked if you had questions does not mean he is going to answer them :0

But a few questions to others and you find that there were no other survivors..and the entire crowd of applicants were drinking toasts..you are the only survivors...

As for you status..you have been nominated to join the household but you have had nor formal acceptance and investiure of that status.

Kyra

“A few days of rest will sure do us some good,” Kyra says, when they are back at the common room. “We even get to enjoy some privacy this time,” she says with a hint of a smirk in the corner of her mouth.

“What a strange experience. But I'm glad we made it here!”

OOC: JA. Does the city have the equivalent of newspapers. if so, can we have access to them.

 

[J. Alexander]

why yes they do..most are printed weekly but on special occaions they run special editions..think along the lines of newspapers in american colonial times

Declan

On returning refreshed from some time of contemplation and thought, Declan finds the room re-arranged. While tasteless, it is a definite improvement on open plan from his perspective.

To a servant, he asks for paper and ink to write to his brother, and tell him he survives. To the others, he says"What I most fail to understand is who profits from this. Such an act is complex and expensive. It is unlikely someone or some thing has done it for sheer delight in murder and chaos, though possible for demonic entities. To profit, relatively speaking, there must be change from the previous course of events. What has changed, or is likely to change? I can think of relatively few. Mostly, the king's allocation of his personal time. Also, we are treated differently and may be assigned to different members of the family. And lastly, there may be new applicants called for. That is all I can think of.

Henry pens a letter to his father letting him know he is well and under the care of the royal household awaiting investiture. He keeps the letter terse and free of anything that might be frowned upon figuring it will be read by others before being sent.

He too is curious what news might have made the papers and also curious to see portraits or even a book with images of the royals and important persons in the household. It would not do to fail to recognize persons of import.

He will see if he can have books to read while he recovers. He is particularly interested in the early years of the current dynasty and the end of the previous one. Anything that can broaden his knowledge of items of great power such as the book is also on his reading list.

 

[J. Alexander]

Newspaper and access to any books and the libary are freely granted.
Likewise you find in your rooms a small purse containg 50 gold pieces. A quck check of your wardrobe and you find small clothes and clothing to fit you..all of superior quality. While you do not have servants per se you do have help in any endeavor you need to undertake within reason
