➣ One Sword

[whatsnottolike]

[Edward blinked. A moment ago, Nathaniel had been suggesting they look for Giselle elsewhere, and his feet had been planted on a foul, bellowing beast (now dead, thanks to him). Now, he’s found himself standing on the bar of the Lux. He draws his sword, pointing it in the nearest person’s face.]

Speak, peasant. What land have I been taken to?

[And after that, he’ll wander about the castle, trying to skewer any ghosts that float near him and leaping dramatically into rooms.]

[ooc: Open in person! Feel free to say he’s pointing the sword in your character’s face. And feel free to say he’s anywhere (lobby, outside, kitchen, etc), as he’ll be exploring the entire castle.]

Comments

[impetuous]

[ Flatly. ] No manners you nobles. Why don't you try saying "please" and getting that out of my face.

[He narrows his eyes at Gwaine.]

Was it you who brought me here?

lux filter forever

[valuedstrength]

[Steve is just staring at him and that weapon. Why does everyone threaten him when they arrive? Well better him than someone else.]

Sir, could you please put the weapon down first? People here are trying to eat and work in peace.

[whatsnottolike]

Are you not the evil one who brought me here against my will?!

[Poooking Steve in the chest lightly.]

Action

[demontobeloved]

[Okay, no. This is something like the third time someone's pointed a sword in his face.

Cole's just going to move it away, easily, with two fingers. Superhuman strength and all.]

How about you calm down before I start taking offense.

[whatsnottolike]

Why don't you tell me where you have hidden away my one true love!

[He's making a face at not being able to move his sword back into Cole's face.]

[bornofwisdom]

Whoa! ( sword in face out of nowhere. okay, the demigod is a little bit worried here. )

Is that really necessary?

[whatsnottolike]

[Oh look! A fair maiden! He immediately puts his sword away and serenades her in sweet song!]

♫ I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss! ♫

[If she is his one true love, she will sing back, right?]

[kidwiththeleash]

How dare you!

[Have a miniknight, Edward.]

[whatsnottolike]

[Edward is confused.]

Well... how dare you!

Action for the ballroom... dun dun duuuun

[accidentalrebellion]

[Dramatically leaping into rooms, huh?

If Edward should decide to dramatically leap into this one, not terribly far from the Lux or the lobby, he'll find that he's in the presence of a few others. Two girls (17 and 12 years old, respectively), and a cat. A very grumpy cat.]

[whatsnottolike]

[Oh! There's a fair maiden in here. Perhaps it is her! He opens his arms and begins singing sweetly.]

♫ I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss! ♫

[Surely she will answer in song!]

[save_the_souls]

[Allen was in the hall when- oh lovely.]

Please get that sword out of my face!

[whatsnottolike]

[A FAIR MAIDEN! THIS MUST BE HIS ONE TRUE LOVE! He puts his sword away and leaps dramatically over to Allen, reaching for his hand as he sings.]

♫ You're the fairest maid I've ever met! ♫

[kungfuwitch]

[If he leaps dramatically into the kitchen he'll see one (1) witch humming cheerfully as she makes lunch for Peter... with enough for a great deal more people.]

[whatsnottolike]

[So many fair maidens! But this has to be the fairest yet! Perhaps this one is his one true love? Since he can't really remember what she looks like at the moment.

He twirls into the room, holding his arms out as he serenades her.]

♫ I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss! ♫

[imalwaysright]

Gah! [he'll stumble backwards and put his hands up.]

Put the sword down!

[whatsnottolike]

[Nope, pointing the sword in your face.]

Tell me where I am, peasant!

[doublethefun]

[and there's a blue pony outside, looking skeptically at the sword.]

Excuse me.

[whatsnottolike]

[Edward is too busy to look up at you, Luna. He was distracted by his reflection and is busy picking at his teeth.]

Yes, you are excused, peasant.

[ruined_jaw]

[Jono had been on the way out into town, guitar strapped to his back, face and torso wrapped in black bandages when the fancy bloke with the sword starts accosting him. He linefaces at the sword, a "Really? Really?" sort of look on his face. Have a voice in your head, that sounds none too amused at having a sword pointed at him.]

Mind pointing that thing somewhere else? You're in Paradisa, a parallel universe that kidnaps folks at random for it's own ends.

[whatsnottolike]

[Voice in his head ahhhh! Hearing voices can't be good, right?!?Edward will just be sticking his finger in his ear and shaking his head, trying to get the voice out.]

[shepherdsveritas]

[Connor looks up, unamused.]

Th'fuck d'ya think yer doin'?

[whatsnottolike]

[He frowns.]

What language are you speaking, peasant?

i couldn't resist.

[ironlady]

[Caterina is outside in the garden having tea and wow dramatic leaping plus sword? She raises an eyebrow.]

Is everything alright?

B)

[whatsnottolike]

[OH! A beautiful maiden! This must be her. It just has to be! He leaps over to her, then does a twirl as he sings.]

♫ You're the fairest maid I've ever met! ♫

[takethat]

[And suddenly the door to Phoenix's room is flung open, just as he's sitting down to eat lunch.]

AAAH! What!!

[The bowl of noodles he was holding goes flying, and he grabs the nearest object to defend himself with!

A floor pillow!]

[whatsnottolike]

Haha! Are you the scoundrel who has taken my love?!

[Engarde! He is pointing that sword at you now, Phoenix.]

[mal_addict]

[Maladict is finally back after that long trip out to the outposts, and is partaking in the coffee the Lux runs. Gods, she's missed the Lux coffee.

And then some ass is waving a sword at her. That's just rude]

I'm not a peasant, and I promise you that you won't get very far with that thing.

[whatsnottolike]

[Male? Female? Edward can't decide and so he's just staring at Maladict dumbly. Threaten or sing? Threaten and sing?]

[action!]

[not_like_the_rest]

If you want to keep standing, I'd stop pointing that at me. [true fact]

[whatsnottolike]

Well if... you'd like to keep... sitting, I'd tell me where I am and where my true love is!

[3_butterflies]

[Outside, you have just terrified this pegasus. She tries to back up, clearly terrified.]

I... I... I...

[whatsnottolike]

Tell me, small pony, are you the evil mastermind behind this dastardly plot?!

[innerpeace]

[In the laundry room as Shifu doesn't know what the heck those machines are and it's where all the best things happen...

Shifu is really trying hard to take him seriously. What's with the sword? Really.]

Do you mind getting that out of my face?

[whatsnottolike]

[Ahhh what are those growling things?!? Edward jumps in front of Shifu and starts stabbing at the washing machines that are running.]

Stay back, small rodent! I will save you from these terrible beasts!

[changethings]

[ You know what Emma really wanted today while she crossed the lobby? Some idiot to jump out of nowhere and wave a sword in her face. THAT IS TOTALLY WHAT SHE WANTED. ]

You might want to put that away.

[whatsnottolike]

[Emma. Are you sure you don't believe in fairy tales? Are you sure? Look at this guy.

But he does put it away! And instead... leaps and twirls and breaks out into song!]

♫ I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss! ♫

action

[cheerupemoborg]

[Maaan, you're on thin ice already Eddy. Hank stands his ground in the lobby, folding his arms over his chest.]

For starters, boy, I'm not a peasant. Second, you've been taken to a land seemingly beyond time and space known as Paradisa - and no, there isn't any apparent escape.

Finally, I suggest you put your overgrown needle away before I run it through your chest.

[whatsnottolike]

[He draws himself up, trying to look princely.]

I am Prince Edward of Andalasia! [But... putting his sword away just in case.]

I seek my one true love!

[shrugs_a_lot]

[Sorry to burst your bubble but this one won't plainly look at the sword pointed at him, he'll draw his instead and parry the nonexistent attack.]

The hell...

[And he's ready to cast ugly magic on you--this is what happens when you startle this guy!]

[whatsnottolike]

Aha! So you are the one who took my... [What's her name?] my one true love?!

[ectoparody]

[Peter had been using this time to relax in the Lux...getting a drink or two, a nice medium rare steak with some mashed potatoes...a sword in his face. Well, not exactly how he was planning on spending his evening, but then again, what else was he really expecting? He's just going to stare up at you with his normal deadpan, using the one inch of space between his mouth and your sword to take a sip of his beer before speaking]

Can I help you?

[whatsnottolike]

Yes. Thank you, peasant. I would like to know the whereabouts of my one true love.

[moonlightmagician]

[ Kaito is unimpressed by that sword. He's a magician and it won't take much for him to weasel out of this situation. Possibly just a flash bomb and he'll be home free-he might even load it up with sleeping gas. ]

The kind where people don't respond well to pointy things in their face.

[whatsnottolike]

Perhaps you should have thought of that before taking my love away from me!

[schrodingersghost]

Just a suggestion here. But you know, when you're asking for directions, it might help if you asked first and threatened never.

[Say hi to the unimpressed ghost floating in the hallway]

[whatsnottolike]

[Floating? Edward looks him up and down.]

Are you a magician?

[formercheerio]

Peasant?

[whatsnottolike]

Are you princess?
