RP MEME: MEDIEVAL TIMES

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. ???

2 and 1!

[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.
darkholme: (A N N O Y E D.)

AHAHA i got 4. typical.

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Raven narrows her eyes when said jostling makes her ale slosh up into her nose as she's taking a drink, but she doesn't say anything, because no, she really couldn't afford to get kicked out of the pub again. Because apparently having an opinion around here was reason enough to get you kicked out. Whatever.

Just a few seconds of hearing him try and talk his way into that other woman's knickers seems to make her completely forget about this fact, however.
]

Enchantment? You're joking, right? [Said into her mug, but oh boy was it intended for him to hear.]
godxavetheking: charles xavier gives his boyfriend a significant look (this vicar would like more cock)

[personal profile] godxavetheking 2011-07-28 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He hates being interrupted mid-pick-up line, it totally ruins his flow.]

I'm sorry, but are you professing to be an expert on spellcraft, [don't say peon don't say peon don't say peon] my dear? Because if not...

[The woman titters, but it's not quite the right kind of titter. Bother.]
darkholme: (W H A T.)

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. Though you might want to look into finding an expert on that sort of thing if you plan on having any luck with those lines.

[She gives him a cheeky grin before taking another large swig of her ale, because oh yes, any time now she'd be getting yelled at by somebody to go somewhere, she was sure of it.]
godxavetheking: charles xavier's face is glowing in the light of the 60s (science goes boing as does phalacophobia)

[personal profile] godxavetheking 2011-07-28 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
[with a properly indignant look] I have no idea what you mean, I'm sure-

[yeah and the woman gets bored and moves off.

Charles sighs and turns to this peculiarly outspoken girl, a slightly rueful expression taking the place of righteous indignation on his face.]

You did that on purpose. [Without any real accusation in his tone. Mostly.]
darkholme: (A M U S E D.)

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
That... wasn't my intention, I swear it. [It's hard not to keep grinning though, because while she didn't mean to cockblock send the other lady away, it was a funny result of her just being a jerk.]

It's alright, though. That woman has incredibly loose morals, you'd do well to avoid her. Trust me.
godxavetheking: charles xavier is lurking in the dark with a smirk (chris hansen is coming for you)

[personal profile] godxavetheking 2011-07-28 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not. That explains why you're smiling so broadly at my misfortune.

[He raises an eyebrow at the next bit, though, and says, mock-gravely]

Don't tell me she really was a sorceress.
darkholme: (L A U G H.)

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I always wear a smile.

[She's practically beaming now.]

Not sure, actually! Maybe she is. I've just seen her around. [Emphasis on around, eesh.] No, I was only implying that your attempts at wooing the lady were so poor that you would likely need to use very powerful magicks in order for them to work.
godxavetheking: charles xavier leans out a window (waiting for the other sean to drop)

dickhead prince cliches: MY CHILDHOOD

[personal profile] godxavetheking 2011-07-28 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
And maybe I'm the long-lost heir to the throne, in heavy disguise. [Which... check, check, and okay, he's been lost for at least six hours, a certain captain of the guard is undoubtedly disapproving, so close enough. But that's different.

Despite himself, he's starting to find the enormous, shit-eating grin charming. Not that he'd actually consider bedding one as young as this one, but perhaps there's something to be said for just having a conversation with members of the populace. Even if this conversation consists primarily of casting aspersions about his abilities as a suitor.]

Yes, I got that, actually, thank you very much- but I've never actually had to make use of potions to win the favor of a lady, to date. [Because prince. He's a little disturbed to be finding that this is possibly only true because prince.]

[That makes her laugh, sliding her mug to the edge of the bar because yes, she will be having a refill.]

Right, I'm sure that's the God's honest truth. You're the Prince Charles, then, yes? Or is there another now, I can hardly keep track. I'm truly honored, either way, m'lord. [She flourishes her hand and nods, all very respectful here. Minus the laughing. ] As if he leaves the castle grounds, ever, and to spend time at a place like this. If you ever try that card, you might want to look into asking a chum to play the role of bodyguard, yeah? That'd make it a little more believable.
godxavetheking: charles xavier presents the world with his armpit. (get ready to rock and roll (but mostly r)

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

[personal profile] godxavetheking 2011-07-28 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I am a Charles. [playful smile] As for as princes go, it's Charles and- I believe there was a bastard running around, too, last time I heard- Canid, Cain, something like that. [SUPER CONVINCING IMPRESSION OF DISINTEREST IS A GO] And you? Do you have a name, or must I refer to you only as "mysterious and perspicacious stranger met in a pub"?

[he seems to consider her next point seriously.]

Perhaps I like to live a life of risk.
darkholme: (A M U S E D.)

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, perspicacious. I quite like that. No, my name's Raven. Just Raven, seeing as I don't have any titles. None that I'm aware of anyway.

Clearly, as shown by your willingness to charm that particular woman.

1 and 6!

[personal profile] mactaggd 2011-07-28 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Raven, you might hear some rap-rap-rapping at your chamber door.

OH RIGHT it's the princess' maidservant. Whether or not you are the princess, well, that would be the question.]

Hello? Milady?
darkholme: (;; L I S T E N.)

I got 2 :|a

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Raven looks up over her shoulder at the knock, sinking back into her chair once she recognizes the voice from the other side of the door. She was relieved, that's for sure, because she's not sure she could even get up from her chair at this point if she had to; every muscle in her body is sore and she's got a few new bruises on top of that. 'Rough day' was an understatement.]

Come in.

THAT WORKS.

[personal profile] mactaggd 2011-07-28 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ All righty, here is your servant bustling in with a basin of water and some cloth for bandages. And a few other miscellaneous healy-things. ]

How badly did sparring go today?
darkholme: (A M U S E D.)

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Could have been worse? Definitely could have gone better, but I'm... trying to stay optimistic. [She smiles a bit, leaning her head back into the cushion of the chair.] Although I admit, I'm considering trying to find an excuse to stay in tomorrow. Maybe telling the new recruits I'm in danger of losing a limb. My arm, maybe. Do you think they'd go for that??

[personal profile] mactaggd 2011-07-28 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
I think the King would only believe you if you did lose the arm.

[ She brushes back Raven's hair, from her temple, frowning at a gash there. ] Try to avoid head wounds.
darkholme: (C O N C E R N.)

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Do it then. Cut it off, right at the elbow. I trust you won't let me bleed to death in my own chambers, and that you'll be quick about it. [She shuts her eyes, her smile turning into a small wince, because it was really strange how sore muscles can make you forget about a blow to the head from earlier on.]

It was my fault, I knew he'd come from overhead after my last block, but I wasn't quick enough. Had to dodge instead of parry, which clearly didn't work so well.

[personal profile] mactaggd 2011-07-28 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Milady would have to fetch the necessary sword, as servants aren't permitted such things. [ Her tone is dry. She dabs off the blood, where it's caked in Raven's hair. ]

Well. You'll get him next time.
darkholme: (oo2.)

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[She pouts.] But my swords are outside. Tomorrow, then. Tomorrow you'll cut off my arm for me, yes? [Raven isn't very good at sitting still, but she knows better than to wiggle around when her wounds are being tended to.] And please just call me Raven, you know the L word makes me feel queasy.

[personal profile] mactaggd 2011-07-28 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
Seems to be the only thing that does make you queasy. [ It's a little bit of a tease. Moira also has an extremely strong stomach. She's been through battlefields.

A beat. ]


Raven.
darkholme: (D A N G E R O U S.)

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Mm? [She's starting to doze, don't mind her.]

Oh, or were you just testing the name out? Kinda nice, isn't it? It's the 'vuh', I think.

[personal profile] mactaggd 2011-07-28 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Ravens mean battle, you know. In the old ways. The goddess of battle herself was heralded by a flock of ravens.
darkholme: (A D V E N T U R E.)

[personal profile] darkholme 2011-07-28 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's what I'm missing then. Ravens. No man would bother putting up a fight, they would be too intimidated.
