Rowaini Musketeers: One For All and All For One

[Rystil Arden]

"To get Marie to fall in love with him of course. He has to have access to the bread. Tomas, did you have any of the bread brought in tonight, or was it all baked here? As to my help, you have it, at the worst, get the Tear back and I will get Marie back."

(OOC: Ooh, you're fast. You missed Marie making a short statament)

"It was all baked here tonight. In fact, the most recent batch before the big uproar was just in, fresh from the kitchens."

"So it's one of the bakers. Have them all thrown in prison and questioned just to be safe."

"Not necessarily. If he was able to steal the Tear, which I can only assume Father had protected carefully, it would have been child's play for him to slip into the kitchen and add an extra ingredient."

"If he was hoping to abduct me tonight, then I must truly be thankful to Jacen for protecting me and keeping me away from the bread, and to Sir Tristan for finding the villain hiding in my room," Marie says gratefully, bowing to both of them, though smiling at Jacen more.

(OOC - It ain't fair, I says to ya! Y'all stay up so late! )

Jacen, who's been frantically trying to keep up with the outlandish tale, quickly nods at hearing his name.

"I'll continue to protect you and yours, lady," he says stalwartly. "We all will. This...P...pumpernickel?...he'll pay for all this. In fact..."

He looks towards the window thoughtfully.

"Baron...what does the Tear look like?"

"Baron...what does the Tear look like?"

"Beyond its other significance, it is a jewel of exceptional beauty and value," the Baron admits, "Which is another reason someone ignorant of our family's doom might still hold it for ransom."

Jacen nods slowly, his eyes a bit distant. He then looks at Marie measuringly, from her feet to the top of her head.

"I wonder...how hard would it be to disguise someone as Marie, do you think? Well enough to get this man out into the open."

He glances at Tristan. "Do you think he might actually strike a woman who decieved him that way? Would she be in danger, or would it just be this Tear?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Sir Tristan said that he has no honour and is capable of anything. Any woman we sent would be in grave danger of being beaten or killed, and of course if he spotted the ruse, he could also destroy the Tear," Tommy posits.

"Unless...." Richard says, rubbing his chin as he puts together the descriptions in post 216 and the Rogue's Gallery--

*Marie is a pretty young thing of average height (maybe 5'5'' + an inch or two for heels) and a petite, though curvy build. She shares the blue eyes of Richard and the other woman talking with Gabriel, though hers are larger, like the cliched big blue pools. Her flowing blonde hair emphasises her smooth features, and her dress in shades of blue is both a lovely match for her eyes and deceptively practical, probably allowing for a wide range of movement during a dance. Over all, while her sister might be more dazzling, Marie is still a beautiful woman indeed.*

Jacen is a bit of a late-bloomer, lookswise. His face still has some of the roundness of boyhood to it, and it's obvious that if he wanted to grow a beard, he'd have to wait quite awhile. His blond hair, big blue eyes, and smooth features give him a sort of 'teen idol' appeal though, and women seem to go for it. He's also very big on personal hygiene and cleanliness, so his clothing is almost always spotless and odor-free.

"He might. He treated Belinda very poorly. Verbally though. He sees himself as this great hero, so he might not hit a woman, but if he sees her as part of the betrayal, as a villain, he might accuse her of being a witch say, and therefore justify his actions."

(OOC: Ooh, looks like we both posted at once)

OOC: I had that exact same thought

Oh Jacen......................

(OOC: Well, Richard hasn't actually said it yet, so looks like great minds think alike )
