Physical Description: Reese is a very skeletal man, albeit one dressed to impress. He has a very wide grin, as would be expected of a person whose face lacks a skin. His bones are well-polished indeed, sometimes catching and reflecting a bit of light. This is possibly achieved with a bit of glaze, as normal skeletons are rather dull and lackluster.
Clothes and Equipment: Reese is always dressed in an immaculate suit, complete with a fine ironwood walking stick. A small chain hangs out of a jacket pocket. Were one to yank it out, they would find an elaborate medallion bearing a single, glowing, silver-etched eye.

"Now I understand why she gave me the list, earlier. I thought she intended for me to go get it. I was going to get one of the barmaids to run an errand in a bit, but this is much easier."
He shuffles through a stack of paper on the side of his desk, soon producing one and handing it and a pouch collected from yet another drawer to them.
"There you are! You know the way, I assume? Of course you do, of course you do. To think, you get all the fun errands..."
Reese shrugs. Assuming they do head out at this time, he waves at them as they head through the door.
"Be sure not to get lost, and do say hello to your dear mum and dad for me!"

The twins take the list and gold and head for the door, freezing when they hear the last comment. After half a second, they continue on their way.
How did he know?
He's a skeleton. Maybe he can sense other skulls in the area.
I doubt it. He's been spying on us. Maybe Hasdrubal told him.
Hmmph. Let's go get some candy.

Lorelei and Luica walk into the bar, clutching their paper bag full of candy and munching on their butterscotch chocolates. They lift their bracelets to their mouths.
"Hello, Mr. Reese? Could we talk to Grandma, please?"

Reese's voice emanates from the twins' bracelets. "Sure, sure. Half a moment, aaaaaaand..."
After a few moments of silence, it comes forth yet again. "There you are. Connected."

"Excuse me, Ma'am? We have your candy. Everything on the list, just like you asked. We bought some for ourselves too, like you said we could. Where should we meet you?"
The twins are an odd sight, standing in the middle of the bar holding their wrists to their mouths and clutching a paper bag full of assorted candies.

"Ah, most excellent. I appreciate you running that errand, it saves me a bit of time. I'm afraid I'm currently traveling and will be unable to meet you, simply leave the candy on Reese's table and I'll pick it back up when I return. As for what you are to do next, I'm sure Reese will have a task for you. I suspect Hasdrubal will also want to see you soon as well..."
As an offhand thought, Grandma also mentions, "When you go to meet Hasdrubal, give him the jelly candy and tell him I sent them to him. He'll know what to do."

"Excuse me sir. Grandma said to leave these on your desk, and that you had a job for us."

Reese looks up.
"Ah, thank you. I'll hand these other later, I suppose. As for the job, I'm just supposed to forward you back to Hasdrubal. He's currently..."
As he trails off, he tilts his head back and stared vacantly at the ceiling. After a few moments, he looks back down."
"He's in his office, it seems. He isn't in a particularly happy mood. Give cheering him up a go, eh?"

"Yes sir."
They take the gummy candies and head down to Hasdrubal's lab, ignoring any of the bar's patrons who might find it odd that two twin girls are walking about hand in hand and heading downstairs.
I wonder why he would want the gummy candy.
I wonder why the old woman wants the candy at all.
We should be fine, though. Mr. Hasdrubal wouldn't hurt us.
And if he does, we'll cut his throat.
Mama will be mad. She hasn't given us permission for him.
Papa will calm her down. He always does.

The room is much darker than before, only one candle lit, casting the room in deep, flickering shadows. Hasdrubal sits slouched over the table, facing away from the door, with a pile of empty bottles scattered around him. His usual lab coat is missing, as is most of his shirt and vest. Green ooze seeps from his skin, smoking where it touches the remains of his clothes. His head bends unnaturally backward with a sharp CRACK, as they enter, and he empties another bottle into his mouth. Jerking, his head bends even further, pointing the blank expanse of his face at the girls.
“What did I do wrong?” he slurs, “I‘m always polite! Always the gentleman!”
In short, he seems a bit incoherent today.

The twins walk up to him and smile adorably.
"Excuse us, Mr. Hasdrubal. We brought you some gummy candies."
They watch him quietly.
What a strange man.
He does seem rather odd, doesn't he?
He is kind to us, though.
Maybe the candy will cheer him up.
Where is the servant? He might be able to help.

Hasdrubal seems completely unaware that they're there. The chair under him crumples, melting, sending him sprawling across the floor. Rather than attempting to stand, he grabs another bottle.

The girls watch him curiously.
We should help him.
How?
We can call Mr. Reese.
Let's get him to bed first so he doesn't hurt himself.
Lorelei and Lucia walk over to the drunken patchwork man and each grab an arm, dragging his limp figure across the room to the bed. They've very efficient, as if though they've had quite a bit of experience dragging limp unresponsive bodies. They haul him onto the cot and tuck him in, then call up Reese.
"Excuse us, Mr. Reese. Mr. Hasdrubal is very drunk and ill."

"I can guarantee that it will be. Drop by my office if you need anything, or ask any of the staff. We all wear something with a little purple gem on it, like this one." Naoki gestures to her earring, which shines a bit as it's being mentioned. "If you're up for it, I'll set you up in a room of your own." "Yeah, fine." Skarlet gets up gently, being careful with her arm. |

Keep things up to date." Upon receiving an affirmative nod, he heads downstairs. ...
After a couple of knocks, Reese opened the door and stepped on in. The room was an absolute mess. He carefully stepped over the molten chair and sludge and gave a short bow to the twins. He took a convenient box near the bed and scootched it over closer with his walking stick, close enough to sit down and look nice and companionable. "Hey, big guy. Are you awake? What's wrong?" |

Mr. Hasdrubal is sick.
Hopefully Mr. Reese can make him better.
I hope so.
I can't wait for tonight.
Yes, neither can I. How long has it been since the last time? A month?
Two months. The cat woman will be easy.
Probably.

Reese winces. "Yes. Yes, you are."
He peers around, finding what he's looking for on a nearby shelf. Again being careful to avoid the caustic material, he makes his way over to the bottle of Moonlight before traversing the length of the room once more, bottle in hand.
"Well, this is a new experience. I'll just drop a liiiittle bit in...."
The bottle is uncapped, and Reese splashes some of the liquid into Hasdrubal's mouth. Even at the worst, at least it would stop the singing.

Hasdrubal perks up a bit, then snatches the bottle.
"Don't give that stuff! I'm trying to get DRUNK! Do you have any idea how hard that is?"
He deflates visibly.
"I thought things were going so well! But she hates me!"

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.
Allegiances: The Isran Empire

Madame Naoki stands up as well, and straightens her dress before sliding the trunk back down to the foot of Granny's bed.
"Let's go then, I think we have a couple of available rooms."
Naoki opens the door, exits, and holds it open for Skarlet. She then heads down the hallway some, before stopping in front of a door labeled '24'.
"I think this room is empty..." She carefully turns the handle, opens the door slowly, and peeks inside. Whatever she sees inside causes her ears to flatten against her head, and her eyes to go wide.
She quietly closes the door, and takes a breath before turning back to Skarlet.
"No. This room is occupied."
As she proceeds to the next room, number '22', her ears and expression return to normal.
"This room must be empty, then."
More confidently, Madame Naoki swings the door wide. Sure enough, there isn't anyone in Room #22. There is, however, respectable living quarters, featuring such basic bits of furniture as a simple four-poster bed, a bedside table, a regular table, two chairs, a dresser, and a mirror with a crack down the center. The room isn't luxurious, by any means, but seems to be pretty clean, at least.
"Yes. This'll do. This will be your room, Skarlet, for the duration of your stay. Do you have any questions, or need anything? I'll have the maids check on you, if you like."
