"Aye, I'll get right to it."

You tap twice on the bar, that's the bartender's cue to start pouring one of your favorite.

"After drinks!"

"Jack. For once in your life I think you should take this seriously. If that guy dies, you may NEVER find out-"
"C'mon Lass, have one."
"I'm fine-"

As if the Bartender was reading your mind, he sets a glass down for both you and Atsuko.
"Bottom's up!" You raise your glass.
"To your continued dumb luck carrying you through everything." She raises her glass wearily.

Ouch, Icelass.

You imbibe on the liquor set out before you. It reminds you of a lot of cozy memories of home, of the bars, of-
Y'know, Atsuko is right about something.

Gently, the bottom of your glass touches the veneer of the bar.
"Aye am gonna need help."
"Oh? Where's this coming from?"

"You were right, in what ye said. I mean. What can I do to him that what Charlotte hasn't already done? She's gonna kill him by sunrise."
"Mm hmm." Atsuko sips at her glass container. "And the longer you let him sit and think on that fact, the harder it's going to be to get him to talk about anything."

"Aye'm gonna need some big guns for this."
"What'd ye have in mind?" Atsuko touches your arm with her tail. Intentionally or not, there's only one proper response to that.

--

"Hey Jack! Ready to- Uh-"
Madeline touches her hand to your hair, pushing what appears to be a handful of locks back into place down onto your scalp.

"Sorry, your hair was mussed up a bit."
"No kiddin'" You say, sarcastically. "Some people aren't very appreciative of my groomin'. Anyway- Somethin' come up and aye need yer help."

"Oh?"
"Aye, bring anything ye think would be useful for interogatin' also- "

>We're gonna go get Yuuki for this one.
>We're gonna go get someone who might be able to reason with the Princess.
>We're gonna get someone a little more skilled in practical magic.
>We're ready! off we go.
>Other?

aligot! aligot!

>We're gonna go get Yuuki for this one.

Yuuki will probably help, and she has a slightly surprising sadistic streak.

"-Aye also think we need someone with a bit ofa-"

You try to think of the right word.
"-Sadistic edge to them."
"Ooh, sounds like a party." Madeleine teases, "Who did you have in mind?"

"Yuuki."
"That's a good one!"

"Also, someone a little more versed in practical magic. Just in case he has somethin' on him like a spell or charm."
"That's a smart idea. You're thinking of Aligot, right?"
"Aye."
"Good Lad, that kid, I'll get Yuuki if you go get Aligot."
"Sounds like a deal."

--

"Jack?"
"Not now."
"Jack! At least tell me where we're going!"

You practically hold Aligot above the floor as you walk. He squirms in your grasp and bombards you with questions.
He should know not to do that by now.

"If aye tell ye, ye won't tell anyone else, aight?"
"Yes! Yes! I know the drill!"

You give him the quick explanation of the situation as you set him down and allow him to propel himself using his own two legs.
He nods assuringly, but then asks that one thing that you were certain he was going to ask.

"So how can I help? Charlotte has sealed this guy's fate. What do you want me to do?"
"Simple, think of a way ye can make him talk in case this intimidation thin' don't work."

"I don't know any-"
He stops.
"Well, I know one, but I don't see how it would help here."
"Aye, that's close enough. We'll worry about details later."

You approach the exit to the castle, just to be greeted by two people.

A Madeleine who looks like she's trying to defuse a lit cannon.
And a Yuuki, who looks like a lit cannon.

Her hands are red from gripping her spear. She didn't even bother wrapping the end of it like she usually does in that cloth.

>Madeleine, what do you do?
>Good! We're in the right mindset! Let's go!
>Yuuki, now, calm down, we need information. Not beatings just yet.
>Start drinking, this might be a long day.
>Other?

Wow, 10:00 PM already. That's how I can tell it's been a tiring day.

"Madeleine." You take another look at red-faced Yuuki. "What did you do?"
"I- uh- told her."

"Madeleine."
"I know! I know!" She coils up slightly, "Sorry."

"Where is he." Yuuki says, with the precision and malice of a jaguar. "Where is the butler."
"Charlotte has him."
"I'm leaving." She turns to walk out the door.

Quickly, you intercept her shoulder.
She almost effortlessly shrugs you off.

"Yuuki."
"No, Jack. I will not calm down."

"Yuuki, Aye asked for yer help because I wanted to get answers from him while he's alive. Ye want to know where that girl came from, right?"
"Doesn't matter anymore. That's past history, and we're looking at the future."

"Yuuki."

SHING!
Her spear, with lightning accuracy, raises itself to your level. It's almost at your throat.
Yikes, she can be fast with that when she wants to be. You didn't even have a chance to reach for your scabbard.

"Jack, you don't seriously think he's getting executed by sunrise, do you? He has a plan, he's going to escape tonight. He's going to keep doing exactly the same thing he's been doing if we don't do something now. Do not stop me. I am going to finish this."
"Yuuki, aye'm gonna make sure that doesn't happen."

"Then do it." She lowers her spear and continues on her way. "Don't try and stop me again. It will result in me tearing up that cute coat of yours."

Uh oh.

>Try and stop her one more time.
>Nope, you're going to get ahead of Yuuki, and find Charlotte yourself.
>Surprise attack!
>Once more with the talky-talk.
>No time to waste! Follow her and observe the destruction. This will get his attention.
>Other?

>>47310638
>No time to waste! Follow her and observe the destruction. This will get his attention.
yeah, we'll just have to hold her back for some answers, that should be fine

>>47310638
>Nope, you're going to get ahead of Yuuki, and find Charlotte yourself.

>>47310638
>Once more with the talky-talk.
At least ask her not to kill him immediately. If that doesn't work.
>No time to waste! Follow her and observe the destruction. This will get his attention.

>>47310638

>Once more with the talky-talk.
>Bring up the estranged brother who just got his heart ripped out of his chest.

If there's a way to undo Ms. Princess' mind mojo, we need to find it!

>Once more with the talky-talk.
>No time to waste! Follow her and observe the destruction

Writing last post of the night, sorry everyone. I am really tired.

Quickly, before she decides to cave in some poor guard's skull, you catch up to her again.

"Listen 'ere, Yuuki. Yer not the only one upset. Yknow she has a brother, right?"

That causes her to stop, but not turn her head toward you. It's more than a little unsettling.

"-Aye, so, That kid we found the other night. That's actually her brother. But get this! She doesn't remember him at all."

Silence.

"-And ye can imagine, that just tore the heart right out of the poor lad. Y'see? We needa get that princess' memory back or he's gonna be heartbroken forever."

She sighs, angrily.

"The only one who even knows what was done to 'er is scheduled to walk the plank tomorrow. So ye see what kinda mess I'm in."

She lowers her spear, and almost grumbles.
"I'll follow you there, and we'll get the answers from him. after that-"
"That's all I ask, Yuuki."

With a huff, she continues across Biscotti's drawbridge. You start to follow behind her until you feel a light, slithery tap on your shoulder.
Oh right, you forgot. Splinters.

--

"Excuse me, miss?! You can't!"
With a heave, the guard is pushed away.

"Hey! Is that Yuuki? Yuuki! What are you doing?!"

"Go away." She growls, angrily shoving another guard aside that tries to apprehend her.

She careens straight through a line of guards. Which makes it all the more easy for you to tag along behind her!

"STOP!" You hear a voice yell.
It's- Oh goddamn it.

Doesn't he know when to stop?
"Hold on! You can't just barge in here! There's a very important political prisoner inside!"

Antonin.
The same brown-haired cat-knight that tried to stop you way back. When you were trying to cure Louise's fever.

"Move." Yuuki growls in a low-voice at him.
"I will not! You have to go through Charlotte first before-"

"Lad, Lad. Ye don't realize somethin'. She doesn't have to go through Charlotte first. She has to go through you."

He continues to stand his ground. Maybe stupidity is just rampant in the cat-eared kind?

Everyone, sorry for the short thread. I am beat.

I am considering moving the Tuesday threads to Saturdays permanently from now on just so I can sleep during the week. Let me know what you think of that. Threads would be longer, and they might be able to start on Friday and run through Saturday.

Anyway, something for the future. I plan to run a make-up thread this Saturday. I hope to see you there. Thanks for participating in this brief thread tonight.

>>47311511
Whatever works for you man. Get some sleep, we all need it.
