The Duke's Madness(Victorian,Slave RP,Semi-Lit)

[Queen of Spades]

Once Leon made it to the house, he entered the door, figuring he could put the horse away later. He quickly made his way to his own room, laying her on the bed. His medical supplies were in the room, so it made it easier for him if she needed medical attention. He quickly went to get a wet cloth, and fill a bowl with water. He kept one in the washroom connected to his room for such emergencies; his mother died of a fever, after all, it would only make sense. Once he finished, he placed the bowl on the nightstand, and took the wet cloth, wringing it out, then placing it on her forehead. If anything, he thought it should wake her up.

Lamont looked up at the sound of a voice, and smiled lightly. "Yes, I do have some recollection of you." He said to her. He looked down at the gun, then back over at her. "I happen to be very good friends with the owner of the weapon shop in town. He gets me some of the best for a slightly reduced price. This only cost me two hundred gold goins. I visit so often, he finds these things for me." He said, then sighed lightly, almost a bit dreamily. "And I get to be one of the first people to take it apart and look at what makes it tick. Then I'll put it back together, and use it in the summer when I have no chance to shoot someone."

All of a sudden the darkness around me turned cold. I began to shake and the the other chain on my wrist slipped off it had expanded from the cold and the ones on my feet got looser as well. I sat down to try and get them off and all of a sudden I saw the man from before"Papa"I said and smiled reaching for him,I was almost crying"Alice my dear you remember me come it is time for you to know everything and find your way home."He says and picks me up and the chains on my feet fall off and I saw all of my memories and they hit me like a ton of bricks. I sprang up sitting up in his bed and I was breathing fast as I got my surroundings and started to think what I was going to do now that I knew everything. I could try and run but he was a man and a lot stronger than me,I was only fourteen I had to be smart and careful.

"Your lucky,I'm not allowed to touch the new pistol my farther just got and I've already took apart all the others in the house. If you don't mind may I take a look? "I ask and smile I was happy he remember me,I held out my hand."He just got a new custom pistol and will most likely be using it in todays hunting trip. If you don't want to end up shooting someone why not go hunting for small game"I say since for small game u didn't have to go in a big group.

[Queen of Spades]

Leon smiled as she finally came to, and walked over to her. "So, I'm going to wager a guess that you're alright?" He questioned, taking the cloth and putting it back in the bowl. He placed a hand on her shoulder, then sat on the edge of the bed. He again checked her temperature by placing his hand on her forehead, nodded slowly, placed two fingers on her neck for her pulse, then sighed lightly. "Well, from looking at you, you're alright. You have no fever, your pulse is a bit faster, but you should be fine." He said, smiling once again at her. "Now, care to tell me how you ended up in that state?"
~~~~~
"Sure, once I'm done looking at it myself. You live nearby, don't you?" Lamont questioned, hearing some flute music, knowing it was probably his sister. "Well, I'd be wasting the game. I don't particularly like hunting, but I do like target shooting. And experimenting. I want to make a gun some day. A kind of special pistol that uses all of the best qualities in each of the modern guns, and use them to make my own." He told her, rounding the corner, seeing Geneveive still happily dancing with the children. "Excuse me for a moment." He told Effey, walkin towards Gen. The red-head stopped playing to hug her brother, though the children all hid behind her skirt. "You're back quick." Gen almost sneered. "You find what you want that quick?" She whistled. "You're getting less and less picky about your firearms, it seems." Lamont sighed, and shrugged. "He just had something new, so I bought it." So was their sibling relationship. A little poking fun here, some over-protectiveness there; it was how it was like everyday.

-Cecily Anne Kirkland

Cecily bowed calmly as the door was opened. She listened a bit to Miss Jenny and then smiled a bit in her own manner. "Oh yes I have. In fact, I had just come to get you upon the matter. It would seem that Miss Shadow if feeling a bit ill, and I think she would like your company. She is down stairs currently." Cecily finished her little speech with a bow before turning back around and heading off. Before she headed back out though, Cecily saw the master carry in something. Upon closer inspection it was Alice. Cecily was taken back slightly by the sight of her friend in such a state. Cecily's recently obtained calm nature began to waver a bit as a wave of worry crashed over her. Cecily did not dare interrupt what the master was doing, she she just watched until they were out of sight, hoping that it was not anything serious.

Alice
I planed my words carefully before I spoke"I became dizzy while riding Alexander,I haven't really eaten that much today. I am sorry if I caused you worry and for you having to do this for me, I'm fine now so I'll be on my way now"I say trying not to feel too disgusted I was acting like a lower to this man, when I ranked far higher than he. I began to get out of bed hoping he would remove his hand when I moved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Effey
"Um....alright"I say and peak around the corner,and wondered who was that red haired girl who hugged him....from her clothes she didn't look like a noble but then again she did, in the way she carried herself. I waited for him to come back I wanted to talk with him more,since we couldn't see each other very often. I lived over in the next town witch was about a day and half's trip but we were staying in the family cottage here in this town, because there was more of the game we would be hunting today in these woods. I wondered witch of us would get the joy of begin the one to take the kill shot today, if anything I was going to make sure it was me.

[Queen of Spades]

Leon nodded, though was a bit confused. She was acting strangely... Perhaps it was just the fact she didn't eat much, as she said, but perhaps it was something more... He stood, turning to her. "Before you go..." He started. "Don't seem so gloomy. When you're not around, or if you're down, the whole place seems depressed." He told her, then turned to the door again, looking back at her with an innocent smile. "So don't try leaving again, okay? I won't hesitate to stop you by force if I have to." He said, leaving the room. He would figure out sooner or later if the worst case scenario really was happening. Now he had to resume his work in the library. He supposed once Miss Shadow found out he took the drink, she would see him, but until that time, he had more research to do on the tea.
~~~~~
Lamont finished his conversation with his sister, telling her she should get back soon so their father wouldn't be worried. He returned to Effey, then sighed. "My sister." He told her simply. "The next in line. She's older, and taking over the family business, you could say. She went to medical college, so now she's fit to be a doctor or a nurse." His smile became a straight line. "Unfortunately, father thinks it unfortunate that I'm doing the exact opposite to medicine. I like weapons, and don't like the idea of health for a profession." He smiled once again. "But I don't really mind too much. Once I leave, he can't interfere anymore."

-Cecily Anne Kirkland-

Cecily watched and waited until the master had left and she could see Alice in the doorway. Cecily didn't dare enter the masters room, but she did run up to greet Alice. " Alice! My dear young friend are you alright?" Cecily asked as she checked over her friend carefully. When she saw no wounds or cuts her mind was eased a little and her smile returned. "I did the chores you asked upon my to do while you were out. I think I have the kitchen done. Only because of your incident I will allow you to thrust your remaining chores upon me." Cecily said with a humble nod and a cute smile.

-Daniel Howard-

Daniel called in his butler, Thomas. The old man walked up to Daniel's desk and gave the normal murmured greeting. "Ah, good, Thomas. I have some things I want you to attend to." Daniel said as he stood and walked to the window. His arms crossed behind his back slightly. "I would for you to make arrangements. This coming weekend, I will plan a party once more." He paused for a moment to allow Thomas to write down what he wanted. "I would like you to invite as many as the Nobel families as we are in the comfort of knowing. Tell them they are allowed to bring... two additions. That will make it a large party will it not?" Daniel smiled whole Thomas gave an exasperated sigh. He agreed to Daniel's wishes and headed off to send out the invites.

((Anyone can get an invitation for Daniel ^^))

Shadow had woken up and was feeling better. She walked to were the Dukes library was. She was suspicious of him, but hse had to know if he took it. She knocked on the door, Stepping in she looked for the tonic " Were is it?" She said, She would never call him Leon again. She walked around the room. "Why would you do that unless you have something to hide." She said.

{{{ Soory writers block. try and add some more later.}}

[Queen of Spades]

No sooner had Leon entered the library and closed the door did he hear the knock. By then, he was at the table. He picked up the cup. "You mean this? Well, the real reason, if you must know, is that I don't like you messing with my servants." He said to her, placing the cup down, and walking towards the door. "If this... Tonic does as you say it will, it would be most dangerous to the girls and myself." He pulled out the key, and closed the doors, locking them. "So..." He placed the key back in his pocket, "If you stay here, I'm afraid I'll have to do something about that drink of yours. I think Alice is already starting to act odd, she doesn't seem her normal self. I do hope you didn't give her anything." He walked back to the table, and sat down. "And you won't be leaving this room unless I get your consent, and even then, I may not believe you. It just all depends."

Willow walked back to her house and was not surprised that her mothers body had been taken away already. She washed the sheets in the huge sink then put them in a storage room in the house. Willow sighed and flopped onto her bed. She dreamed of her mothers soul lost and unable to find peace so when she woke up Willow stayed away from her bed, afraid her dreams were true. She walked to the forge and turned everything on so it was nice and toasty. She poured some metal into a mold and started making chain loops for a belt. She remembered her father telling her things about metals and a myth that any belt with amethyst in it would make bad dreams go away, she fashioned it to be three inches tall and for it to be big enough to slip on then tighten she made it 4 feet long, she made it thin of a light weight metal and popped the loops together like a nights chain over tunic. She then tied a sack of amathyst and emerald witch her father had always stored under a plank in the floor. She walked home in her new belt and sat down in the front room.
