RP MEME: MEDIEVAL TIMES

[cerebel]

Pick a scenario, post with your character and roll for the scene. Or just pick. That's cool too.

For the setting:

1) CASTLE. Throne rooms, private chambers, long hallways.
2) TAVERN. Rough-hewn tables, rough-hewn clientele.
3) DUNGEONS. Iron bars, rusty chains, and terrible food.
4) JOUST. The knights of the realm are battling.
5) FIELDS. It's a hard, long day working to grow food.
6) MARKET. There's a well, there are some craftsmen selling things. It's a medieval mall.

And once you've decided the setting, decide your role:

1) ROYALTY. You are a King, Queen, Prince, Princess or close relative.
2) KNIGHT. You are a warrior of the realm.
3) WITCH/WIZARD. Official court magician? Crazy old lady with a lot of herbs? You decide.
4) PEASANT. Yeah, your life sucks.
5) CRAFTSMAN. Blacksmith, woodworker. Apprentice or master is up to you.
6) SERVANT. Your life is utterly devoted to the one you serve.
BONUS: 7) TIME TRAVELER. ???

[ Yeah, that was totally some dude in a button-down and jeans tumbling out of the completely solid brick of your dungeon cell and crashing into the opposite wall.

S'up. ]

1 & 6

[fadedchampion]

[There's a redhead hiding behind one of the displayed suits of armour. Judging by his dress, he's a servant--cleanish but not exactly perfectly-made clothes. He's also concentrating on his hands and the flashes of light he keeps conjuring. Magic is not the purview of servants, after all.

[He's got a massive dog at his side--one of the kitchen hounds, who doesn't seem to be paying much attention to his appointed duty as guard.]

[eternal_maze]

[It's late at night, but one can still find a slight figure with dark hair inspecting the castle's siege defenses. Word has come that there's an army on its way, another territorial squabble (to be honest, she didn't really pay attention to whose it was; this happens often enough that she can't bother remembering), and things have to be in tip-top shape.]

3 & 3, whichever Charles :3

[seriousmarauder]

[Sirius has been in the dungeon for five years now, though he's lost track of the time. Of course the court magician would get blamed for unexplainable murders. Crimes he never committed. Never WOULD have committed.

The man responsible was one of his best friends, and has taken his place as court magician. But nobody believes him, not even the other prisoners. So he simply tries to survive, clinging to the knowledge of his innocence.]

2, 2 (whichever Charles)

[original_fine]

[There's nothing like a breather after a long journey. James enters the tavern with an unconscious swagger. The dust of the road clinging to him cannot the spirit beneath, and he sits at a table with an erect posture, a smile, and a request for food and drink.]

[ WATCHIN THE GAME, HAVIN A BUD. CONSIDERING FAP-- what. ]

Uh...

[ Beer is still there. He's downing the rest now. ]

Moira MacTaggert | X-Men First Class

[mactaggd]

3 and 3. Yup.

[godxavetheking]

[Charles is rattling his manacles idly. Goodness, wouldn't it be useful if his deal with the Devil and dancing naked in the light of the full moon, etc, had gotten him the power to manipulate metal, rather than just this lousy telepathy boon! (Utter nonsense, of course; it was far too cold in these latitudes to dance naked in the light of the moon, full or not. Still, it was a nice thought.)

Although, in a way, the dungeon is pleasant. Quiet. Those other minds he can sense at all are largely submerged in pain or concentration on their own goals. Not that he relishes the pain of others, of course, especially the young ones, but it's a good deal easier to block out than happiness, in many ways.

It is starting to get old, though.]

or, "A Japanese Magical Girl in King Arthur's Court."

Is this thing broken or something? Last time it sent her off on a detour in Bete Noire, and now... where is she, anyway? Big stone building, looks like something out of medieval Europe.

Chris Halliwell | Charmed | AU or canon

[ghostlighter]

2 & 3. Whelp.

[fadedchampion]

[Oh, look. He remembers talking to that man! He can't quite remember where or why, but he remembers it! Beaming, Hawke wanders over and claps a hand to Chris's shoulder.]

Serah! And here I thought you disapproved of taverns.

Anna Milton | Supernatural | 4 + 2

[annael]

[The smaller knight sat opposed by a larger and bulkier one settled on a dark black horse. From the snickers in the crowd, it was obvious that no one thought this thin little spit of a knight would be much of a match against him. Unfazed by the jeers of the ground, the small knight accepted his lance and held it with ease while his opponent adjusted numerous times to get into position.

The flag dropped and the pair thundered towards one another. The small knights lance struck him dead in the shield and popped him from his seat, sending him soaring down to the dirt covered ground. His lance however, glanced off the frame of the small knights helmet, crimson bursting out from beneath it...but to the crowds surprise it was not blood, but long red hair.

Anna kept her horse from rearing and dropped her broken lance with a grunt as her squire ran to attend to her. Hurriedly she held her hand over her face, quickly exiting the field to hide her gender before someone could find her out.]

3~ Healer, I think.

[mutantlifeguard]

[ And, in the tents where the competitors prepare, Charles is waiting for her. He sighs, when he sees her. ]

Still taking risks, Anna? Come on, let me see you.

Sefton Lowell | original character

[polarization]

3 - Dungeons. And... the Doctor.

[fallsoutofbox]

[The Doctor is tossed unceremoniously into the cell, his wrists chained. The bars slam behind him. After stumbling back to his feet, he turns and grabs the bars, shouting after the guard.]

No! You don't understand!

[But yelling at the guard's no use. With a frustrated noise, he turns and starts pacing.]

Garrett Hawke | Dragon Age 2 | always a wizard, setting up to you

[fadedchampion]

2 & 5

[polarization]

[ Young master alchemist shut up that is TOTALLY A CRAFT Sefton enters the tavern! Unfortunately, he needs something alcoholic for his next beverage, never mind his magical curse that makes him loathe such public space... ]

Eleven | Doctor Who | Always 7? lol. May be posing as others tho.

[fallsoutofbox]

2, 5

[mutantlifeguard]

[Ah yes, a rowdy tavern. And in a quiet corner, a mysterious traveler who says little and keeps carefully from touching strangers.]

Methos | Highlander | 3&7

[mythconfirmed]

[Here he was going to go to the barge to annoy MacLeod (a bad habit, he knew, but it was so much fun) and then suddenly he found himself somewhere other than Paris with a sword through his middle. Then he died again.

The reactions when he woke up were far too familiar and he had been marked as a demon or something (he wasn't really paying attention at the time) which is how he found himself in the dungeons, locked up tight until he was to be executed.

Methos hoped they weren't the sort that beheaded people. He was quite fond of staying alive. Part of him wondered if they would be okay with him asking for a way to execute him. The other part was hoping they weren't going to burn him at the stake.]

[myfedorarocks]

[There's someone else already in the cell, looking like he's been there a bit longer and is a bit worse for wear because of it.]

Looks like you're up.

I hope you're more fun than the rats.

Amy Pond | Doctor Who | Always 7

[original_fine]

[James of Kirk looks up as the lady enters, his breath catching. He rises from his place by the fire, glancing around at the more or less full tables. He is surrounded mostly by peasants, and while they are no worse than they should be it is his duty to be the gentleman.]

My lady. [He bows.] This is hardly the place for one such as you.

Lance | Pokemon Adventures manga | 2 & 2

[wantsdragonspls]

[That man sitting in the corner of the bar there? That is the renowned dragonslayer, Sir Peter. According to popular tale, he's slain at least four dragons, possibly more, and rooted out two nests. He has the keys to three cities and is richer than the king.

[Strangely enough, he dresses somewhere between a peasant and a craftsman, without much evidence of riches. He's not even wearing the custom-made dragonhide armour most dragonslayers do. Nor is he bragging. All in all, the sight really does not match up to the stories, especially since he's listlessly eating a bowl of tavern soup instead of going someplace with real food.

[The observant will notice that every now and then the spoon flicks a piece of offal down into his lap. Whenever he does, there's movement under his cloak and a squeaky little growl. Maybe he's hiding a cat under there ...?]

[polarization]

[ The man's squire doesn't take much longer to arrive. He notices the way Sir Peter is sharing his food with his lap, yet wisely says nothing as he sits opposite the man. ]

Sir?

[ A request to speak. They aren't exactly on the best of terms that he can be given it freely. ]

Tali'Zorah vas Normandy | Mass Effect 2 | 4, 7 (well, she's an alien)

[vasnormandy]

[ Guess who stands out like a sore thumb? Tali. A three-fingered, biosuit-wearing alien engineer from the future suddenly stuck in a medieval jousting arena. Tali's never, ever seen a place like this. Dirt everywhere, but the people here don't even seem to mind it, all lined up around some kind of event. Heavily-armored humans riding four-legged animals... Were those, what was the word... horses? Tali's not exactly well-versed in Earth biology, but "horse" seemed about right. She'd never seen one in real life, mind you. Supposedly they had similar creatures back on the old homeworld, but... Everything was so dirty, there was mud everywhere and her enviro-suit was informing her that the place stank. For once, she was grateful that her suit filtered all the air coming in from outside, she certainly couldn't survive a second in a place like this without going into anaphylactic shock. ]

Is this some kind of re-enactment colony? [ Some people on the Flotilla tried this once on one of the ships. It didn't work out so well. Regardless, she whips out her omni-tool, an orange, semi-translucent structure surrounding her hand momentarily as she scans the area. ] Everything dates back hundreds of years ago... What's going on?

[ghostlighter]

[ What was that sound just now? Surely nothing out of the ordinary. Nor are the blue lights coming from the alley between two of the more shaded buildings in the market.

Damn, how in the world did Chris get so lost, he ended up in the past? That's got to be a record. ]

Raven | X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

[darkholme]

2 and 1!

[godxavetheking]

[GUESS WHAT, it's an asshole prince in disguise, jostling up against your elbow, Raven. Yes, another one. And he is... flirting noisily with the next wench over.]

You have remarkable eyes. It's as if they had an enchantment laid on them- a very groovy enchantment, mind.

[i_id]

[It's common knowledge that the local King has a strange servant, a young man from the very far north, according to the locals. He's been here since he was a boy, some say, and only a few years, according to others. Found by fishermen, tangled in their nets says another rumor. There's some truth to that one, though it's mostly popular because of his sleek black hair and round, seal-like eyes. There's actually truth to all of them.

Some is very loyal to the King. And in return he has free reign of the castle, but he does wear a golden collar, and no one has ever seen him pass through the great gates that lead out into the city. But on dark, stormy days like today, he can be found on the battlements, face turned up to the rain like it is the first he has ever seen.]

I love the storms, don't you?

[wantsdragonspls]

[The Prince Dragon is not known for his gentle nature. He is known for having a love for all animals, big, small, and usually dangerous. So watching a joust? Boring. Some silly knights vying for his attention and his good grace.

[Pfah. Give him a day in the woods anytime, instead of being stuck in this chair watching some idiots try to knock each other out. He'd give up being a prince, except that he's already outlawed hunting and all that. Still doesn't seem to stop some idiots from trying to give him collared and chained animals. (Usually, it was the givers who wound up collared and chained.)

[Yawn.]

☺Pasha A. Chekov ☺ Star Trek (AU) ☺ 1, 3

[failfatale]

[Witch! Witch indeed! These fools wouldn't know science if it came up to them and slapped them in the face with a lump of beef. Just because the young woman had a hint of and accent and was young for knowing her trade, people just assumed that she was a witch. At least in this nation they weren't in the habit of burning women they thought to be witches.

Pasha was boiling up some limewater in a round bottomed test tube when she heard a knock at her workroom's door.]

Enter.

the numbers you rolled to perfect hahah.

[plays_dirty]

You're gonna out the rest of us. [ a shaggy haired man says after he opens the door he leaves it open leaning in the the jam and looks around the room]
