>"Good morning." Marianne says rather unenthusiastically. "It looks like you're certainly in a good mood..."

"...huh, do I?" you reply, raising an eyebrow. "And here I was going for 'fearless' or 'intimidating'..." you sigh.
"Sure you were," Marianne rolls her eyes.
"Anyways, are you feeling any better today?

Her actually bothering to come down here doesn't mean that she's not still about to fall out, after all.

"Yes, I'm fine," Marianne says.

And then a fit of coughing immediately proves her a liar.

"...I'm fine enough to attend to the day's activities, always," the Princess mumbles.
"You sure?" you ask. "Because I doubt your father would mind if you decided to-"
"Yes," she cuts you off, "I'm sure. Now let's take our seats before I end up fainting from hunger."

With your worries somewhat alleviated, you follow the Princes into the dining hall and take your usual seats at the table.

The sooner she knows about the trip, the sooner she'll be able to accept it and stop complaining about it. You hope.

"...what?" Marianne turns to you. "If you have something to say to me, just get it over with already."
"Umm, yeah," you nod. "About that trip to the lake... I talked to Sir Gregory about it this morning and he told me that we'll be going out there tomorrow."
"-Tomorrow-?" she shouts. "Of all the..."

Yeah, she took that about as well as you were expecting her to.

"I bet he did this specifically to harass me," Marianne mumbles as she rests her head on the table. "All because I made that stupid joke and then -you- were stupid enough to take it seriously..."
"Umm, sorry..."
"Whatever, it's already done," she sighs. "And I doubt that I'd be able to get out of this even if I asked Father, this is the type of situation that he'd happily throw me into regardless of my own wishes."

That sounds about right.

"At least Luciana is coming along... though she'll probably want to stick to you the entire time," the Princess sulks.

I'm still waiting on that.

Maybe, If Citrine watches the knights take down a number of them, she might feel better afterward? I hope.

>>36068559
He's said he knows when it will be.

It fills me with excitement and dread, kind of like Spinelle.

If Sylvie knew his full past, I would imagine her and Luciana bonding over killing Reinhold's rapist.

>>36068604
I'm sure anyone would bond over something like that. If the KKK and Anonymous can bond over the WBC, then two former contestants of the Reinbowl have little to worry about.

"Hey, look on the bright side," you say, flashing a smile. "I'll make sure that there'll be cake there, even if I have to make it myself!"

After all, you've already done itn once before.

"...Reinhold," Marianne lifts her head from the table.
"Hm?"
"Do you honestly think that you can solve every single annoying issue that happens in my life with cake?"
"...eheh..."

Suddenly it feels like your back is to the wall here.

"While it's no secret that I enjoy sweets, I'm not so much of a glutton that simply eating a cake is enough to make me forget that I'm going to be dragged out to a cold lake out in the middle of nowhere against my wishes," Marianne says. "It's like you think that I'm as easy to please as Elena or Chiara."

>>36068894
Levithans detroyed her village and killed her parrents, which is how she ended up in the brothel, or something close to that.

>>36068919
It was a shipwreck, I think.

"Well, uh..." you force a smile. "...what about cinnamon rolls?"

As Marianne slowly raises a fist in the air, you throw up your hands.

"H- hey, it was just a joke!" you exclaim.
"Moron," she mumbles.

Fortunately, the butlers choose just that moment to finally show up with you breakfast.

We need to break our legs so that we can meet the castle medical staff.
What's the best way to break our legs?

>>36069414
We want to break our legs, Anon, not our everything.

>>36069531
Somewhere out there, this is someone's fetish.

You've annoyed Marianne more than enough this morning, and you'd really like to not cause her to have another coughing fit. So instead, you turn to the plate of waffles that sits before you and tear into them without any hesitation.

While you eat, you cant help but notice that Marianne's poured -quite- a lot of powdered sugar on her own food... it occurs to you to tease her about it, but nope.

You're not going to antagonize her today.

How do Leviathans fit into Mask-Dude's master plan?

>>36069967
Distraction Carnifexes

>>36069967
Diverts military attention.

>>36069967
They have all ready served their purpose. By killing Citrines parents and ensuring that she met Reinhold in that brothel they set in motion the events that would see Rein become Mari's bodyguard. That way the masked man had free reins to infect Mari with cancer while we were fooling around with Luci and imouto.

>>36069967
Well he's obviously super well informed.
We are having a picnic and he found out he wasn't getting invited.
So he sent leviathans to ruin our day.

He had ample time during the attack in Marconetti.

After Marianne finishes eating, Melanie approaches the Princess and they go on for a short while about her plans for tomorrow. What she plans on wearing on the trip, what if any food she'd like them to bring... it's a lot of things that don't particularly concern you so you kind of zone out after a while.

ONe thing that does catch your attention is a VERY stern warning from the bespectacled maid concerning Marianne's health. After triplechecking that the Princess does indeed hear what she's telling her, Melanie repeats what she told you earlier today about how the King has authorized the use of force when it comes to making sure that Marianne doesn't overdo it today.

She doesn't seem at all happy to hear that.

>[2/?]

>>36070228
Then we must adopt the spirit of Volker and terrify all with our metal.

What element affinity did Volker have anyway? Did we know?

Maybe we can ask Melanie where the hospital(?) is?

After she finally manages to shoo off her concerned friend, Marianne calls for you to follow her out of the dining hall and to her first class of the day.

>>36070731
Unless he's still trying to break our legs.

>>36070756
Well, that'd be one way to (probably) get Marianne out of having to go on that picnic. Maybe.

"Hm, it's rare to see those two around this part of the castle," Marianne says as she watches Karel and Emilio walk down the hall. It doesn't seem like they notice that you're right behind them.
"Yeah," you nod.

And then you take a deep breath.

"W- wait," Marianne turns to you. "I didn't mean that I wanted you to-"

But it's too late.

"Hey Emilio!" you call out. "Karel!"

The two stop dead in their tracks and turn to face you.

"What brings the two of you down here?" you ask. "Saying good morning to your uncle?"
"How dutiful of you," Marianne quips.
"Uh, I guess that's part of it," Emilio shrugs. "But the main reason was because Karel mentioned that I haven't really been over to visit hum since I got here, and that's kinda rude..."
"Kinda -really- rude," Karel chimes in.
"Umm yeah," he mumbles. "So we came down here to ask if it would be okay if we stopped by to visit today."
"...I see," Marianne nods. "I'm sure your sisters will be happy to have you around for a change."
"I was feeling guilty about that too."

"But now we'll be headed there this evening so everything'll be all sunshine and rainbows," Karel says, glaring at you.
"Hm?" Marianne turns to Karel. "I thought this was -your- idea, why are you angry about going?"
"I'm mad about something else," Karel replies. "Don't worry about me."

She's staring daggers at you.

"Uh, is this about that fight that you and Reinhold had last night?" Emilio asks, turning to his bodyguard.
"A fight?" Marianne stares at you.
"Yeah, it's something about Luci-"
"No it isn't," Karel growls. "It has nothing to do with her so I really wish you'd quit jumping to conclusions about that."
"But I thought-"
"Uh, yeah," you cut in. "We weren't fighting."
"Then why..."
"Personal stuff, it has nothing to do with you," Karel replies.

"Really, Emilio," you say, smiling in an attempt to put the Prince at ease. "It's okay, we weren't fighting."
"Yeah," Karel nods. "No fighting here."
"Whatever," Marianne sighs. "Could we hurry up and go inside so I can get done with today's class already?"

Whoops. Holding Marianne up because of your own personal stuff is the last thing you mean to do.

"Er, yeah," you nod. "See you two later!"

A part of me wants this so bad.

Seeing as how you don't really have anything to say (and also because it's pretty clear that both Sir Gregory and Marianne want to get done with this already), you keep quiet and let the knight speak.

Today's lecture is about economical... things, the specifics of which go right over your head. You are able to get the overall gist though, that being that Celestino's reopening of the borders has had a massive positive effect on trade in not just Marconetti but Granache as well. You're pretty surprised to hear that, considering that said reopening is supposed to be on a limited basis... and also because it's only been like a day since they've been reopened.

Word must travel quicker than you expected.

With the lecture over with, you and Marianne get up from your seats and start towards the door... but then you remember what Citrine told you yesterday.

"Oh yeah," you turn around just before you're about to walk out the door. "While we were on the subject of the borders being reopened..."
"What now?" Marianne grumbles, clearly not happy about her teatime being delayed in any way.
"You better hurry up with whatever it is that you wanted to say before Marianne decides to kill you," Sir Gregory says. "Or maybe she'll just cough on you until you end up sick with whatever the hell she has."
"Maybe I should cough on -you-," Marianne says, glaring at him.

Hahahahaha better get to the point before they start fighting.

"I ran into my sister yesterday night," you begin, ignoring both of their comments, "and she said that my grandmother sent her a letter saying that she'll be taking advantage of the borders being opened to come over and visit for a while."

"Yeah," you nod. "I just thought that you'd like to know about it beforehand."
"Uh, yeah," Sir Gregory replies. "That's good to know... but where's she going to be staying? I mean there's still plenty of room in my place even with five houseguests but I'd still have to clear it with Ariane and-"
"She'll be staying at Citrine's place," you reply. "I think all that stuff's been taken care of already."
"Oh," he sighs.

You're not sure if he's disappointed that she won't be staying with them or relieved that he won't have to make extra arrangements.

But judging from the way that she's looking at you while the two of you head to the courtyard, it might be too late for that.

"Reinhold," Marianne says without bothering to look at you.
"Hm?"
"When exactly were you planning on telling me that your grandmother was planning on coming here?" she asks.


>how do you respond?

>>36073256
>>how do you respond?
"Where did you hear that? It was supposed to be a secret!"
or
"But I just did."

>>36073256
We just sort of did, didn't we? Hahaha... I'm sorry.

>>36073256
"I could say I wanted to preserve it just for Sir Gregory's reaction, but really I had a bunch on my mind so I forgot."

>>36073256
>>how do you respond?
"Well I didn't want to overload you this morning, but I figured tea would've been an appropriate time."

>>36073250
He's just some random orphan I assume they just never knew he existed.

>>36073256
Uhhhhhhhh now?

>>36073250
They're complete non-characters. For all it matters they were a couple of swords from the planet Turkey.

>>36073296
What's Anatole got to do with all this?

>>36073256
"Well, I was planning on telling Arnaud during teatime, so I suppose you would've heard it then."

Either of these is fine.

At the picnic could've been a reasonable time as well since we invited Citrine, and it'd be nice to have been able to tell everyone with both of us there. She's as much Citrine's grandma as she is ours, and Agnes is staying with them.

It'd have left Arnaud out of the loop, but maybe we didn't think it was something worth mentioning, grumble grumble.

>>36073325
Arnaud is our Obi-Wan in how he hides things from us, except we'll die long before him.

>writing

Window-viewer dropping by, has Reinhold gotten good at not falling flat in comparison to others yet?

>>36073325
Can we leave Arnaud out of the loop?
I mean even if we genuinely attempted, could Reinhold actually do it?

>>36073392
He kicked a lot of ass when Marconetti's castle was attacked.

>>36073392
He's respectable compared to friends his age, fighter/caster dichotomy asides (and mages have their own limitations, mainly mana). And the only swordsmen better than him in the castle are monsters like Gregory and Arnaud.

And anytime there's action he does more than his share.

Monique is away and we're more or less on neutral terms with him now.

"Sorry about that," you say, turning to the Princess. "I could claim that I just keeping it to myself until I could see Sir Gregory's reaction, but the truth is that I have a bunch of stuff on my mind right now so I kind of forgot."
"...that sounds like you," Marianne sighs. "I wish you would have told me about -that- this morning instead of informing me about that stupid lake trip at your first opportunity."

You can't really blame her for being annoyed with you, it stands to reason that she'd rather hear about grandma visits than about something that is nothing but a nuisance to her.

>[1/?]

>>36073511
Hmm... Yeah, that'd probably make sense.

>>36073511
Why did we ever go for that picnic again?

>>36073626
Picnic is all we know.

>>36073511
Tell her citrine and agnes will be attending the picnic.

>>36073626
Because that is more immediately of her concern.

Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention over the last like 40 threads, but why is everyone we talk to varying degrees of pissed at us?

>>36073649
Maybe we smell(?)
Some of them I understand, we've done some dumb stuff here and there.

>>36073649
Marianne is pissed because we turned one of her joke into a picnic invitation for half of the cast.

Karel is VERY pissed because we pressured her into confiding to Ariane that she's a girl in a few hours.

Sylvie, her mother and one of her sisters are still mildly butthurt about Sylvie losing the waifu war.

That's about it, pretty much everyone else love us.

>>36073649
Reinhold's initial charm wore off and now all thats left is his annoying behaviors.

Upon reaching the courtyard, you step through first to make sure that it's not too cold. She seems to be rather annoyed by this, but she's pretty lightly-dressed as it is and you're not about to let her go out in the cold and risk getting her even more sick than she already is.

Fortunately, the temperature is just fine.

"So," Marianne says to you as she makes her way to the table, "is there any other important news that you've forgotten to inform me about?"
"Uh..." you pull out a chair for Marianne to sit down on. "I don't think so?"

But then you remember a thing!

"Oh," you snap your fingers. "Citrine's going to be coming with us to the lake. And maybe my grandmother if she's around?"
"Just great," Marianne sighs. "And I suppose you've informed your sister that we'll be going there tomorrow morning?"

...yeah, that's kind of a large thing to forget.


>[2/?]

>>36073738
To the pigeonry!
We have a pigeonry, right?

>>36073738
If I ever do a quest ah! the PC is gonna have a notebook for the players to consult.

That way they won't forget as much stuff ah!

>>36073754
Maybe a courier?

>>36073754
No we just have messenger people. And since Rein can't into town without a female to accompany him we're kinda stuck.

>>36073776
W-what if we took Emilio into town?

>>36073786
And who is Emilio's bodyguard?

>>36073738
>...yeah, that's kind of a large thing to forget.
Wow we are just awful at this.

>>36073786
Lads day out?

>>36073761
In fairness, Greg sort of just sprung this on us this morning and then it was Princess breakfast o'clock.
But still... ah!

>>36073791
We let Emilio and Marianne swap bodyguards.

>>36073804
>We let Emilio and Marianne swap body...
This isn't time for your fetishes!

>...guards.
Oh, sorry.

>>36073738
>[3/3]

"Informed who about what now?" Arnaud asks as he walks through the door carrying a teaset in one hand.
"Reinhold's having problems with telling people things that they should know, that's all," Marianne replies.
"I see," he nods. "Perhaps I could help with that?"


>how do you respond?

>>36073815
Whispering:
>"I doubt it, somehow."
Out loud:
>"Citrine Lanzmann would like to know that Sir Gregory *just* informed me that the picnic we had planned will take place tommorrow."

>>36073815
>Could you arrange for a messenger to notify my sister that the picnic is scheduled for tomorrow?
Do we even know when we're supposed to start?

>>36073815
I'm drawing a blank but we could totally use this to relay a 'secret' message and mess with somebody.

>>36073815
YES! PLEASE! STOP US FROM BEING A SHIT!

Or, alternatively, enquire about couriers, carrier pigeons, messenger dugongs etc.

Then, when he's gone, thank Marianne for being organized n shit.

>>36073815
Let him know about the picnic, us needing to tell our sister, and also that Grandma Agnes will be coming by soon.

>>36073871
Should we ask if he wants to come?
We asked everyone else.

>>36073883
It's going to be mostly kids plus Takamaru.

Unless Agnes shows up today.

>>36073883
Does he ever leave the castle?

>>36073815
Tell him about Agnes!

And now it i time for me to sleep. Tonight's thread was pretty nice once it got rolling, and hooray for (slight) progress!

The next thread will be on Monday night. I'm not sure which quest it'll be though.


and now for questions.

>>36073815
Well as I've been gaurding the fair and beautiful princess here I haven't had a chance to head out of that castle and inform my sister of thevery recently changed picnic plans. I would be very grateful if you could do so for me.

>>36073893
Thanks for running Arch!

>>36073893
Thanks arch

>>36073889
This

And on a scale of 1 to 10 how doomed is this picnic

>>36073893
Cheers.

I'd like it if we could continue PGQ threads until we get to Karel and Ariane having The Talk, but eh.

What's Karel's state of mind right now?

What time is it?

Does Gregory got any way to quickly inform Ariane about their guests?

>>36073893
Thanks for running.

>The next thread will be on Monday night. I'm not sure which quest it'll be though.
Pantsu Getter?

Do Granache knighthoods come from one big, defining badass moment or from a general, sustained life of badassery?
If the former, what were Arnaud, Greg and Vincent's biggest badass moments?

>>36073923
We thought the picnic would be ruined by Leviathans but the REAL monster was Reinhold's organizational skills all along!

>>36073776
Since when did we become a slave?

>>36073946
>We thought the picnic would be ruined by Leviathans but the REAL monster was Reinhold's organizational skills all along!

"There is no such thing as perpetual tranquillity of mind while Reinhold live here."

Thread 1, first post.

>>36073958
That's a smart joke, Anon. Too smart for me.

>>36073973
Y-you're smart too, anon.

>>36073923
>And on a scale of 1 to 10 how doomed is this picnic
Depends on your actions.
maybe

>>36073934
>I'd like it if we could continue PGQ threads until we get to Karel and Ariane having The Talk, but eh.
I get how you feel but that'd probably end up being about two threads from now.

>What's Karel's state of mind right now?
She's extremely agitated right now, as well as nervous as FUCK.

>What time is it?
11-ish.

>Does Gregory got any way to quickly inform Ariane about their guests?
He could straight-up fly home and tell her himself if he really wanted, it'd only take a few minutes to do so.
But with that said, he isn't going to bother doing so. Surprises are more fun.

>>36073946
>Pantsu Getter?
lolno

>Do Granache knighthoods come from one big, defining badass moment or from a general, sustained life of badassery?
It depends on the individual case. Some folks get to show off to the King and he'll be all "fuck yeah you a knight now" while others end up accumulating low-key badassery over a long period until they finally get recognized. The latter is what Nicolette's currently planning on.

>If the former, what were Arnaud, Greg and Vincent's biggest badass moments?
too tired to answer that now, ask again later


And now I go and pass out. Thanks for playing!

Dammit Nico, no!
Go out there and kick a dragon in its fucking throat.
Preferably not Rana.
