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

[Queen of Spades]

Leon walked towards Cecily with a sigh, noticing her distress. He reached out a hand, and instead of hitting her or anything, he curled his arm around her waist and hugged her. "Calm down. If you get panicked, nothing will go right. Just breathe and take it easy, don't run around like you're scared." He said, stroking her hair lightly. "If you have to get her maid, do so calmly, don't show how frightened you are. If you do, you make everyone else panicked, too." He let go of her and smiled. "So go get her. If things get too bad, you can tell me; I do study medical terms and practices after all." He then looked up, hearing the whinny of a horse. "I suppose I'll have to see what that is..." He muttered.

Geneveive was quite happy right now. She was playing the flute for some children, joining in their dancing. She loved children, and she loved playing music for them. She wasn't a master of flute, but she could play a few songs, and even a couple she made up, like this one; a bouncy, quick song she played for the children that they loved to dance to. She was better at nursing and doctoring, but this she enjoyed as well. She did it in her spare time, often dressing in clothes that didn't show her nobility, so they wouldn't feel shy. This was no exception. She wore a rather dingy brown dress that was common among servant girls or peasants. It was comfortable and airy, much better than the elegant gowns that she had to wear in the house and at parties. She went barefoot, like nearly all of the children, because it felt like she was free. The cold stones of the town square felt good on the soles of her feet. She enjoyed the time she could just get out of the house, and do what she wanted for a bit. Her hair didn't need to be tied up into something extravagant, so she let it down and run free. It was something she loved to do, almost as much as study medicine.

Lamont was once again at the local firearms shop, looking over their new inventory. It was the only one in town, and he frequented it so often, he and the owner were on a first name basis. "Hey Charles, how much is this one?" The red head questioned, pointing at a brand new revolver, a shiny silver with gold lining a few areas. "Five hundred gold coins." Said the owner from the counter. Lamont nodded, intrigued by it. How much silver was needed to make it able to withstand the pressure of gunpowder? Could there be impurities to make it have the same effect? Was there gold actually keeping it together? And if so, wouldn't that be really heavy? All the questions were running through the young man's head. "And you can't dissect this one!" Charles, the owner, told him. "But I put them back together! Just as they were!" Lamont objected with a light pout. "That may be so, but if you even so much as scratch that one, I'll be run out of business. I'm holding it for a different noble from the next town over. Lamont mumbled something under his breath, and stood away from the glass case. "Got anything else new? I need something else to take apart. Someday, I'm going to make my own gun, that'll combine some of the best qualities of all of the modern guns. And that's how I'll make my fortune considering I get only a fraction of a fraction of the fraction my parents will have left after giving my sister all that money for college, and her birthright." The store owner smirked. "Don't get too carried away, now. Let me check, I think I have something for you."

Alice
I was still passed out and every time the dream played in my head it began to become where the faces started to get clearer and the voices did as well. Alexander was pacing and snorting,neighing,and rearing out in the back yard still trying to get someone to come out and lead them to where I was laying in the woods passed out. I still had no idea what this dream was showing me but I felt like I had seen this place,theses people and felt like this was a memory of mine but it couldn't be...............could it?

-Cecily Anne Kirkland-

Cecily's tense posture relaxed within the embrace. A calmness flooded over her being, and her panic state decreased dramatically. She listened quietly, and nodded to every other word. She stepped back calmly afterwards and bowed her head slowly. "I understand." She spoke with her cute smile returning to her face once more. Now her happy mannerisms were restored and Cecily stepped aside to allow the master to walk past her so he may see what was the matter at the door. Cecily the turned to walk off to find Jenny. There was a small, barely noticeable skip in her step. Love was such a fine emotion. Cecily walked up once more to Miss Jenny's room and waited for a reply before entering.

Leon smiled lightly as she walked off, then turned to the door, locking the library with his key, then went on his way outside, putting the key back in his pocket. He approached the large horse, holding a hand up. "Steady boy." He said calmly, trying to grab hold of his neck. He found that most horses calmed faster that way. Though he had to wonder, why was he out of his stall, and acting so frantic? Did a dog bark at him? And where was Alice? Didn't she hear the noise? She was always good with horses, why wasn't she the one doing this? Normally, she would have been out there much faster than he had been.

((And my other three will be around if anyone needs someone to talk to.))

((I am working on a new girl who will run into your charrie Lamont,I'll let you know when I'm done so you can read her info. it will be on the main page same as Alice))

Alexander calmed down a bit now that someone had come out but he threw his head towards the woods and slightly nugged Leon's shoulder and Alexander ran towards the woods and stopped looking back to see if he was following him,before he keep going.I could now see everyone's faces except for the man who lead me to the top of the stairs and the one out in the garden witch was the same from the dance, and the man's voice was still such a low whisper and I had to try really hard and I still couldn't tell what he was talking about.

[Queen of Spades]

((Ah, alright.))

Leon sighed once again, and followed the horse, intent on catching him and getting him back in his stall. "Get back here." He told him, following him into the woods. He never really liked these woods, as he had bad memories of them, and his father always told him scary stories about them to make him stay out when he was little. They were still a bit dark and creepy to him, and he looked around warily as he started into them.

Alice
Alexander checked every so often to make sure he was still following, and he ran on ahead but still making sure he hadn't given up.He went back the way he had came with Alice and after what seemed like forever he finally found where she was still laying on the ground passed out.He nugged her again and she still wouldn't wake up,he looked up at Leon and the back to Alice.I was now in a different place it was nothing but pure darkness all around me and I felt like i was weighed down my chains and I was trying my hardest to move and break free,the chains felt so heavy but I still tried my hardest to break them feeling like my life depended on it.

Jenny opened the door and stepped aside to let Cecily in. " Have you seen Shadow?" She asked. " I haven't seen her in a while." She replied. She waited for Cecily to answer her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shadow tried to stand and walk out of Cecilys room it was bad for a noble woman to be in the slave courters. She stood and made it to the door. she stopped to rest and the she got to the Dinning room. She walked to a chair but right before she sat down she collapsed and passed out.

[Queen of Spades]

Leon was getting a bit annoyed at the horse, but once he led him to Alice, he rushed forward to where she lay. He lifted up her upper body with one arm, placing a hand on her head. No fever. He felt her face, making sure there was no heat, then took her pulse. It all seemed normal, though her pulse was a bit faster than normal. Had she fainted from exhaustion? He wouldn't be able to find out here. He looked around, then back down at the young girl. "Stay with us, Alice..." He muttered, putting an arm under her legs and picking her up. He clicked his tongue for the horse to follow, then started back towards the house.

Lamont had waited for a while when the owner came out with a kind of pistol Lamint had never seen before. "The latest model." Was Charles' proud claim. "No other store in the area has it yet." Like a child drawn to candy, Lamont fingered the empty gun, looking at everything he could without demolishing it. He aimed it, pulled the trigger though it wasn't loaded, then turned to Charles. "How much?" He questioned simply. "For you... Two hundred gold." Lamont smiled, and nodded. "Then you can just take that out of my tab. I believe I still have enough money to pay for it." "Yes, you do. Then that's what I'll do for ya." The owner pulled out a slip of paper, wrote something on it, then signed it. "Your receipt." Lamont nodded, thanking the man, then left. He would have fun with this one. At least now he had something to do at night when Sir de Viuepont left. He still examined it as he walked down the streets. It was a lovely piece of art, finely crafted, made from incredibly hard metal, it seemed. He wondered what it would be... Most likely steel. Iron wasn't this light, or as widely used. But this didn't seem like steel, either...

((Ok she's on the first page so u can look I'm going to post for her now))
Alice
I could faintly hear the masters voice and I tired even harder to break free of the chains. I tried to speak but my voice wouldn't work,like someone had taken it away. I felt like I was moving but how?..Alexander was following Leon close behind as they headed back to the house. I finally broke one arm free, and I frantically tried to pull loose from the other one before I even worried about my feet,I just had to get free.

I walked into the gun and weapon shop smiling at the store keeper"Good evening, I'm here to pick up my farther Lord Kane's,order and I dropped off some arrows and a bow as well"I say and he nods and heads off into the back, I stand there waiting and look around their were some nice weapons in this shop.

I put the arrow in the string and draw it back"Perfect very nice and the tips are nice and sharp and well balanced,the strings not too tight" I say smiling and take the arrow off the bow and put it back in my quell "So how much is that all together?"I ask and he puts the gun in a box and on the counter"That will be five hundred gold and twenty sliver"he says and I set a pouch of money on the counter witch had the five hundred and pulled out my purse and handed him
