Crimea Castle Town: Let Them Eat Pigs

[TurkwithStyle]

Yoshimitsu scurried along past the one guard still on duty near the entrance being as silent as possible, and trying as hard as possible not to bump into him. He managed to get past the guard, only to find himself face to face with the castle gate. "....." he thought to himself for a moment. His invisibility doesn't last forever, and he most certaintly couldn't wait around for too terribly long. He suddenly got an idea, which led him to grabbing hold of what seemed to be vines on the right side of the gate, and he heeved himself up to get to the top. To his misfortune though, he went visible again before getting to the top...someone, say, down in the streets could possibley have seen him as he got on the top of the wall and hid behind a nearby statue.

Fortunately, Mist didn't seem to notice. She was too busy pondering about how the guards could have went off, but soon enough that thinking passed when she heard her friend's comments...the twin boy's however made her worry. "Oh boy...we'd better go in!" So Mist ran inside taking out her sword, hoping she wouldn't have to use it.

Meanwhile, the green haired princess decided to look out of another window to take another look at the weather. In case there were any signs of rain. Unfortunately her looking place was very close to Yoshimitsu's hiding place.

[Lans]

Sheena just nodded as she headed after her, dropping one of her cards into her hand as the twins followed behind.

"Master Bridget!" Rodger told them as they ran for the entrance. "I think I pick up someone up on the castle walls, and it isn't a guard!"

Bridget nodded as Rodger turned himself into Bridget's second yoyo, the other one he pulled out as Rodger changed. Knowing he should probably get there first in case of an ambush, Bridget flicked the yoyos down onto the ground and hopped on them and they ran along the rough ground. With the extra burst of speed, Bridget rushed past the two woman, heading to the gate as fast as possible.

Yoshimitsu crouched under the statue, now completely out of sight and in the shade, "Most unfortunate that was...no matter, I move on regardless!" He slipped through the unseen bits of the top of the gate, and eventually dropped down into the castle walls, crouching in a bush of some kind.

[Mage]

When Bridget rolled past her, Mist saw him speed off and amazement. "Whoa, those are some cool yo yos!" She smiled while still running, Mist knew that the fastest way around the castle town was by horseback, that was pretty advanced compared to the first mode of transportation.

Elincia noticed Yoshimitsu hide behind for a second, but not soon enough to notice who it really was. "Hello?" She leaned over the window, but before she could make sure she heard a noise from around the corner of the corridor she was in. The princess in orange turned around quickly looking around. "Who's there?" ...no answer.

Little did she know however some small yet menacing figures were watching her from the dark, one started to unsheathe a short dagger from his white jacket sleeve. "..."

[Lans]

"Yeah, I'll say," Sheena said as she ran beside her, "He's gotta teach me how he's doing that without falling off."

[xenomina]

When Bridget reached the gate, he jumped off the yoyos. After a moment of looking, he slung his yoyos upward towards a banister. The yoyos wrapped around it, before Bridget sprung into the air and launched himself over the gate. After almost landing on his butt, Bridget brought the yoyos back to him with a flick of the wrist.

[TurkwithStyle]

Yoshimitsu noticed he had been spotted, "Namu!?" He quickly went partially invisible with whatever oomf he had left, and climbed up into the window. He slid down and sat on top of his sword, stealthily perching there, while her back was turned to face the odd sound.

[Mage]

When Mist got to the gate, she frowned for a moment. "Oh great..." She tried to push it up, but it didn't budge. She called over on the other side. "I'm going to go around, Bridget you go on ahead!" Mist started to run around the gate, trying to find the secret entrance she just remembered.

The princess was too busy trying to gage who was near her to notice Yoshimitsu's actions, so she walked toward the noise bringing out a thin long sword. "Show yourself!" She got in a certain stance holding her blade tightly.

@suey@ Out came a pig masked soldier in a white cloak full of knives, and a hood covering most of his big head. "Ah, the fair princess of Crimea. My target..."

"Target?" She then got in a stance, worried that he might attack. She could handle him since she was trained in fencing, but the problem is it's hard to move around in a royal dress.

[Lans]

"Hey, what am I? Bad curry?" Sheena asked a little indignantly as the other two left. She turned back to the gate with a frown. "...Great, well I suppose I could ask a summon spirit to knock it down or something.


"Or...you could just ask nicely and we'll open it for you," said Palom...from the INSIDE of the gate.


Sheena's jaw dropped. "How did-?"


Palom smirked. "Oh it's quite simple when ya know the spell teleport."

*BONK*


"Which YOU don't because it's a white magic spell," Porom chided, stepping up beside her brother. She bowed apologetically to Sheena. "Sorry about that." She took a step back and pointed her staff at the gate. "Float!" There was a flare of energy, and then the gate slowly lifed into the air enough for a person to get under it.

[TurkwithStyle]

Realising the pig mask's intentions, Yoshimitsu quickly ran to the front of Elincia and became visible, "GET BACK!" He then put his sword to his side with his right arm, guarding it with his left, then knocked her out of the way slightly with his elbow so she wouldn't get hit before spinning rapidly toward the creature, attempting to strike it down, "NAMUNAMUNAMUNAMUNAMU!!!"

@suey@ The assassin didn't expect there to be a guard, he had already taken care of the rest around the halls. And as such didn't expect Yoshimitsu to appear so suddenly slicing him up in the attacks. "Wha?!" He jumped back pulling out some throwing knives. "A personal guard, I should have expected..." He then pointed his finger at the man. "You must be the princess's most trusted hired sword, Ike of the Greil Mercenaries!"

The green haired woman was taken by surprise when Yoshimitsu appeared and pushed her back, was this man trying to protect her? "...who are you?" She asked the mystery man, and still had her sword in her grasp in case something went wrong.

------------------------

Meanwhile, the daughter of Greil had just found the secret entrance and crawled past the walls under the the hole in the wall. She then ran off inside the castle prepared to help out.[rand=230664780242434429192687592512798104493553409879422809309132280293]

[xenomina]

Bridget frowned as he looked at the wall before him. From what he could tell, there was no way for him to sling himself upward. "Oh no..."

[Lans]

Ok, a couple of missing gate guards was just poor discipline...more than that was trouble, as Sheena was beginning to see. "...Ho boy...you just had to jinx it with that talk about monsters in the castle," Sheena muttered as she glanced around warily at an empty entrance hall.


"Oh come on, how was I supposed to know!?"
