Rowaini Musketeers: One For All and All For One

[Velmont]

OOC: Ok, I was confused on that one. Sorry. I have a big show at the end of the month, so I have less time for PbP and it is why I have been confused on ths situation. Thanks for the fix. I should be back on track soon, or at least, at the end of the month, after the show.

 

[Fenris]

"Just for a second, Marie..." He smiles. "Don't worry."

When they're gone he looks at the others.

"I think we need to compare what happened to each of us the night of the party," he says. "I've been wrestling with this, and I just feel like there must be something we're missing. Some vital thing that will tell us what's really going on. Assuming it's not exactly what it seems..."

He scowls.

"But it just doesn't seem like it COULD be. There's too many holes."

"And what would it exactly seem to be lad?" asks Tristan

"Is this about the Baker being two or three different people?"

 

[Velmont]

"If I can dare to say, maybe the baker is not alone in that." adds Hyacinthe.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: No NPCs for me to use to bump, but looks like Tristan is waiting for Jacen's reply)

 

[Shayuri]

(argh, sorry...is that subscription thing working again now? I wasn't using it before, but I think I might need to...)

"I don't KNOW what it is yet," Jacen replies frustrated. "And believe me, I know I may be making too much of it...but it's wrong, and not just because it seems like there must be more than just the Pumpernickel. It's like a stage trick, where the mesmerist waves a hanky over here..."

He flaps his left hand.

"So you don't watch him tucking a scarf into his right fist over here." He waves his right.

"I was just thinking, we each had a duel that night. An encounter of some kind...except Hyacinthe, I guess. Maybe there's something to that. Maybe the coincidences weren't so coincidental. I thought if we revisited each of those encounters, maybe a pattern would emerge."

(OOC: I think they did fix subscriptions. Dunno if you also missed the replies in the OOC thread for Night's Embrace, but those are there too )

"Well neither you nor I sought out our duels, whereas Gabriel did, though at the urging of another. Shall we throw her in with the cabal as well? You fought to touches, Gabriel fought to first blood and I fought nearly to the death. Our Baker was not waiting for me, he was rummaging through Marie's drawers, no offense Jacen. Now one thing, his sword was well made and his scabbard ornately decorated. Like many pretentious fops he mistakes decoration for skill. But still, there would be few who could make such a scabbard, and would remember it. Unless of course the Cabal of the Baker now includes a swordsmith."

Jacen shakes his head, frustrated, and sits on the bed.

"No, no...you can't... The key is details, Tristan. Something we overlooked, or didn't mention before. You're just trying to make me look bad now."

"No I'm not lad. I'm trying to work this thing through the same as you. Looking for a pattern, is there one? Spit out your idea plain and simple Jacen. I'm trying to throw out these details and pattern you want."

 

[Shayuri]

"I don't really have a solid idea yet," Jacen admits. "Just a hunch."

He pinches the bridge of his nose.

"All right...all right. Tristan, you and Tommy came up here to find the Pumpernickel rooting through her drawers. What prompted you two to come up when you did?"

"And Gabriel, your bout with Melegaunt, was there a reason you chose that moment to challenge him?"

He looks at Hyacinthe. "And at the time the rest of us were having our adventures, did anything unusual happen to you?"
