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. ???

[Methos ignores his cellmate for a moment to mourn the remains of his sweater, which is covered in blood and has a large hole in it where he got stabbed.]

...I liked that sweater. [He sighs.] I'll have to get myself a new one.

[And now he'll finally pay attention to the other person.]

I do try to be more fun than rats.

[myfedorarocks]

[And now he's curiously eying the sweater.]

How did you survive such a wound? That would have felled even the best of my soldiers.

[mythconfirmed]

What wound? [He looks down at his torso.] They scratched up my clothing and this blood isn't mine.

[myfedorarocks]

[He gives him a suspicious look at that, but doesn't press it.]

I... see.

[mythconfirmed]

[He tugs at his chains experimentally.]

So, what are you in for?

[myfedorarocks]

I was betrayed.

[mythconfirmed]

Betrayal. I'm way too familiar with that. [Usually because he's doing the betraying.]

...If I said I had a way for us to escape, would you help me?

[myfedorarocks]

If I could find out who did it...

Hm? Escape?

[He considers this.]

I've no reason to stay in this cell and rot. I'll help.

[mythconfirmed]

You won't be able to find the answer in here.

[Methos starts looking around for something.]

What's your name? I should know it if we're going to work together.

[myfedorarocks]

You can call me Flemming.

And you?

[mythconfirmed]

Adam.

...I'm going to make it look like I killed myself. I need you to make sure the guard comes in here and gets these chains off me.

[As he says this, he's wrapping the chain around his own neck. Right now it's loose, but when he's sure Flemming's ready, he'll tighten it and kill himself.]

[myfedorarocks]

Make it look like you're going to kill yourself?

[Okay now he's nervous.]

[mythconfirmed]

I won't actually die. The guards won't know that and we can use the confusion when I wake up to escape.

[myfedorarocks]

Right. Of course.

....I do hope you know what you're doing.
