1.1.1: Keeping the Plaza Secure

Featuring: Leodin, Elwyn, Kazama

Leodin, a Khlinese noble-turned-vigilante, stands guard over the Amaterasu plaza as Elwyn arrives for the party. Kazama, a ninja in service to Freyzenwald's younger princess Ellis, is in charge of security. The two watchmen confront each other, but come to some kind of understanding, and Kazama leaves. Leodin and Elwyn get to know each other and find a lot in common, such as their Nohrian heritage and corrupt noble families.




Leodin is at the plaza where the election event is planning to be held. He's currently perched on a rooftop of a one-story building, scanning the area for anyone that looks suspicious.
Doesn't seem like anyone here is looking to cause the candidates harm.... I have to stay here though, if I'm gone for even a minute, somebody could come by and set some sort of trap.

Mango-06/22/2016

"Amaterasu..." Elwyn looked around the plaza. "This place looks rather nice, very different from Nohr..." He took one more look at the letter he recieved. "Yes, this must be the right place."

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama is striding about the plaza, his mask on. He's quickly observing each crowd. Hrm... not suspicious, yet... but I can't let my guard down...

Mango-06/22/2016

"Careful not to step on anyone's feet, Michel." Elwyn gave his horse a little pet. "I'm not sure if horses are allowed here, but we'll see soon enough..."

REWlego-06/22/2016

Leodin spots the ninja. Well... I guess we have someone else who doesn't want to show their face...

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama quickly spots Elwyn on his horse. His eyes narrow. They could be carrying a weapon...

REWlego-06/22/2016

Leodin follows Kazama's gaze to Elwyn

Mango-06/22/2016

Elwyn dismounts. "Perhaps I'll check around and learn more about the culture..." Very Clueless

REWlego-06/22/2016

He walks along the rooftop to get a bit closer to the two
He doesn't look like he knows what to do.... Perhaps he's a diplomat and the ninja was sent to kill him?

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama approaches the man. "Excuse me! You, on the horse!"

REWlego-06/22/2016

Uh oh, I might have to go and stop this...

Mango-06/22/2016

Elwyn looked to the source of the voice. "Oh, are you one of the guards?"
"Ah..." Elwyn turned back to his horse, and back to the man. "I suppose I broke a rule?""

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

He nodded. "Head of security at this time, in fact. Do you have any weapons in your luggage?"

Mango-06/22/2016

He gave a bow. "Please excuse me, as I have no place to leave my horse, Michel... so..."

REWlego-06/22/2016

Leodin climbs down the building and starts sneaking around various people and objects.

Mango-06/22/2016

Elwyn shook his head. "I hold no weapons at all. I am just a man of faith"

REWlego-06/22/2016

So this guy's the head guard? Perhaps I should leave him alone, or maybe he's lying

Mango-06/22/2016

"I hold only supplies for healing, clothes, and my books."
He brings out his staves to show to the supposed head of secruity.

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama nods. "Not even small blades, for self-defense?"

Mango-06/22/2016

Elwyn shakes his head once more. "I carry only my trust in the Gods above to keep me safe."

REWlego-06/22/2016

This ninja is trying to see if the man has anything to use against him!
I need to get in there and stop that ninja from hurting anyone

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

He folds his arms. "I see. That will be all, then."

REWlego-06/22/2016

Leodin hears this just as he steps out of cover
Oh.... darn.
Leodin is clearly visible, and you can see his sword in it's sheath.(edited)

Mango-06/22/2016

"Very well, sorry for causing trouble to you." He bowed again.

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

"No problem, sir. I am simply doing my job."

REWlego-06/22/2016

He starts to back away slowly as they're finishing up, but sees nowhere that he can hide quickly

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama turns around. His gaze narrows. "You, there!"

REWlego-06/22/2016

oh crap... He turns and darts back towards the buildings

Mango-06/22/2016

"Oh, dear..."

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

He grunts. "Sir, please alert the watch." He sprints after Leodin. "Stop!"

REWlego-06/22/2016

If they catch me, they might find out who I am... I can't get sent back to my family in Khlin.

Mango-06/22/2016

"Oh, erm...I'll try! Good luck...?"
"Oh, excuse me!" Elwyn finds others on watch and tells them of what has happened.

REWlego-06/22/2016

Leodin leaps up onto a wall climbs up Rooftops... doesn't seem like the best place to hide from a ninja.

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama chases up the wall after him, preparing a shuriken. "If you do not stop, I will be forced to harm you!"

REWlego-06/22/2016

There's no point in running anymore... Leodin puts his hands in the air and turns around.

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

He stops. "Why are you running?"

Mango-06/22/2016

Elwyn stands below them, preparing to stop them if conflict sparks. "..."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"You don't think a guy in a mask getting questioned in the middle of a plaza would be somewhat questionable?"

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

"I am tasked with keeping the plaza secure. Strange men running along rooftops with blades are not an indication of such a thing."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"I'm just here for the same reason... I'm just not being paid for it."

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

"Explain yourself."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"I guess the rumors about me haven't spread this far yet..." (He says under his breath)
"I come from the Khlinese Oligarchy. I used to help the rebellion fight against the government in Intetsu."
"Now that the rebellion is close to victory, I decided my skills could be used elsewhere."

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama is silent for a moment.
"That is not necessary. The watch will be able to handle things on their own."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"That doesn't matter to me. What if that horseman down there had pulled out a knife while you were concentrating on me? He could have killed you right then and there."

Mango-06/22/2016

"Excuse me!"
Elwyn called out from below

REWlego-06/22/2016

"I didn't say it was true!"

Mango-06/22/2016

"That is not the point here!"
Elwyn turned to the ninja. "Now that...things have been cleared up, could you leave the man alone...?"
"He shows no harm towards the people here...so..."

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama shrugs, not taking his eyes off Leodin. "That remains to be seen."

Mango-06/22/2016

"Could you two come down here, please?"

REWlego-06/22/2016

"I would, if this guy will stop staring at me..."

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama waits for Leo to make the first move. "I will wait for you to go first."

Mango-06/22/2016

Elwyn chuckled. "You two are quite childish despite wanting to keep the peace."
"Come on down, Mr...?" Elwyn turned to Leodin.

REWlego-06/22/2016

He lowers his hands by a few inches, and heads towards the edge of the roof "I'll have to use my hands, are you going to kill me if I lower them?"
Leodin is currently ignoring Elwyn so that he can pay attention to the ninja

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama scoffs. "I will only take action if you draw your blade."

Mango-06/22/2016

"Hm..."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Okay!" Leodin climbs down a few feet and then leaps next to Elwyn

Mango-06/22/2016

"Hello there."
"All right, it's your turn to come down here now, Sir Ninja."

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

Kazama leaps off the roof, rolling.

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Showoff" Leodin mutters

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

He turns to face Leodin. "Weapons are currently restricted to the watch while in the plaza."

Mango-06/22/2016

"Now, now...there's no need for hostilities, my friends."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"If that's your way of telling me to give this to you, then I'm going to deny your request."

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

"I will make an exception in your case. Stick to the outskirts of the plaza."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Excellent choice."

Mango-06/22/2016

"Oh, don't mind him..."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"I'm sorry, who are you?" Leodin turns to Elwyn

Mango-06/22/2016

Elwyn dismounted his horse to stand beside Leodin. "..." Noticing the height difference, he went back on his horse. "I am Elwyn."
"A priest from Nolore, but that is besides the point..."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Hold on... Nolore? That's a pretty far distance..."
"What are you doing all the way over here?"

Mango-06/22/2016

"I suppose it's safe for me to say."
"I've been invited to see party in Amaterasu after the reveal of the new ruler."

AOMRocks20-06/22/2016

"...I have other matters to attend to." He turns to the swordsman. "If I see you with a blade in the plaza, I will detain you." He vanishes.

Mango-06/22/2016

"Oh, wait, before you go!"

REWlego-06/22/2016

"I think you're too late, Elwyn."

Mango-06/22/2016

"...He's gone..."
"That I am..."
"Could you tell me your name?"

REWlego-06/22/2016

"My name is Leodin. I have to be on my way, I think I saw a stable near here, if you'd like to follow..."

Mango-06/22/2016

"I see...hey, Leodin. How about you come with me?"
"You wanted to watch over the plaza, correct?"

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Uh, okay."

Mango-06/22/2016

"...No objects, nothing?"

REWlego-06/22/2016

"No offense, but you don't seem like much of a threat. I can handle myself. As long as I don't have to see that ninja again."

Mango-06/22/2016

"Cocky, are we?"
"No matter, that is what I am going to accomplish for you."
"If anyone else asks, I could say that you are a comrade of mine who joined me for the trip. You can then continue your watch without any suspicion towards yourself."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Well... Thank you, Elwyn."
Leodin reaches his hand out, as if telling Elwyn to lead the way

Mango-06/22/2016

"All right then, follow me back to the plaza."

REWlego-06/22/2016

Leodin starts following Elwyn "Right.... I wanted to ask you, which region of Nolore are you from?"

Mango-06/22/2016

"Nohr, why?"

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Well, my ancestors came from Nolore a long time ago, and they also came from Nohr."

Mango-06/22/2016

"That's quite a lineage you have there!"

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Indeed. That is why my family all has Nohrian influenced names, instead of traditional Khlinese names."

Mango-06/22/2016

"I see...I wonder why your ancestors moved to Khlin..."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"It was a very long ago.... Who knows what kind of state Nohr was in at that time."

Mango-06/22/2016

"Maybe it was different, not all things have to be negative."
"Perhaps...your ancestor has found something, or someone, that made them wish to move. That made them want to have a new life somewhere."
"Someone that made them wanting to see the sights, and to expand their horizons..."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Yeeaahhh.... You can believe whatever you want. I don't really care why they left, but I don't approve of the place they moved to."(edited)

Mango-06/22/2016

"You don't like your country?"

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Oh, I suppose you wouldn't know about the nations here.... Khlin is a terrible place to live for almost everyone. They're in the midst of a civil war of sorts between the citizens and the nobility."

Mango-06/22/2016

"...How terrible..."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"While the rich live in the capital, Intetsu, everyone else lives across the land and is either too poor to do anything, fighting against the government, or both."

Mango-06/22/2016

Elwyn closed his eyes and mouthed something.

REWlego-06/22/2016

"I was born to a family in Intetsu, but I left at an early age to help the revolution."

Mango-06/22/2016

"I see, that's very brave of you."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"It wasn't brave, it was just the right thing to do."

Mango-06/22/2016

"...Is that so."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"The higher-ups shouldn't have the capital city all to themselves... My uncle thought the same thing."

Mango-06/22/2016

"...Gods above, please listen to my request...I only ask that you protect the citizins of Khlin from the dangers of the war..."
"...I've been taught something like that when I just a child."
"That only those with nobility deserve such things, that those of lower class were nothing. I was against that way of thinking."
"I suppose that's why I'm far away from Nohr."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Is that how it is in Nohr? I've never been there.... What's it like?"

Mango-06/22/2016

"...It's a dark place."
"It's almost like the sun never rises there, an eternal night."
"But...it's nice, despite the situation, the citizens carry on without much problem."
Elwyn sighed. "But that didn't mean there weren't any problems. Crops were in terrible condtion, fresh fruit and vegetables were expensive and those without money couldn't get them."
"Rich people were always on the top of things, my family is one of them." Michel stopped. "I don't think much of them."
"...They're one reason why I am here after all."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"I don't think very highly of family either.... They don't do anything to help either side of our war. They just profit off of everyone."

Mango-06/22/2016

"I see our families were quite simliar."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Although I see you took a much different path than I when you left."

Mango-06/22/2016

"...Yes."
"There we many slaves, I...couldn't help them all. I only escaped with one of them, they were a good friend of mine."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"....."

Mango-06/22/2016

"i joined the Monastery to spread word of faith and peace, and if I come across any, I attempt to stop slave trades. If I can't save the ones that my family keep, then I have to save others from the same fate."
"I suppose that is enough rambling from me, a little personal history of mine...my apologies."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"No, don't appologise. Everybody has a story that they want to share."

Mango-06/22/2016

"I suppose so...thank you, then."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Of course, it was my pleasure."
"I still am wondering though, why were you invited to the party if you're from Nohr?"

Mango-06/22/2016

"I don't know either, perhaps word has spread of my endeavors."
"Easing conflict between two countries and freeing slaves on the side by ones self isn't very easy..."
"But it's something that I am proud of doing."

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Maybe, and I have no guarantees, but perhaps after this party, I could go to Nohr and assist you in freeing the slaves..."

Mango-06/22/2016

"Truly? You would do that?"

REWlego-06/22/2016

"Well, I've never been to Nohr, and it's better than going back with my family... Plus, other than Khlin, things here are pretty safe."

Mango-06/22/2016

"...Thank you." Elwyn bowed.

REWlego-06/22/2016

Leodin gives Elwyn a slight smile. "Thank you for giving me the opportunity."

Mango-06/22/2016

"I'm sure we can be a great team, two is better than one."
