_________________

The snow swirled around the castle, frosting the windows and adding a glow to the plants. Its seemed as if this was what some would call a winter wonderland. The cobblestone pathway leading up to the castle was covered in a light mist of snow. To help forlorn guests find their way up the mountain path, tall wooden torches lit the roads, and left puddles of melted snow at their base. At the gateway leading into the courtyard beyond the prestigious front doors sat two fires, each one surrounded by a throng of soilders, and on the wall beside torches stood archers, their eyes scanning the incoming guests.

The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground and the sound of carrage wheels, brought the guards to stand and hurry to the doors. They rapped upon the massive wooden doors exactly three times, and as they did so, there came a great commotion from behind it. A crowd of servants moved to un-lock the doors. Erik was part of the drink serving crew, he would be forced, for as long as this fiasco lasted to hold a platter of fine wine and other small snacks and make sure the other servants didn't mess up.

As the gates opened and the first few carrages pulled up, their occupants, five people to be exact, one of which was Michelle Sola, daughter of a far away lord, she had been sent in her father's place. A few servants rushed to help the guests inside. This was an important evening, and nothing would be allowed to ruin it.

Michelle frowned, the cold was piercing through her thin dress and she was relived to be inside, Her hair was glistening with freshly melted snow and for a moment She stood, awaiting the other guests.
Razzy
miracle flame- Hi! *waves* I haven't talked to you in a while! Anyway, about the deleting, I think that if you ask one of the mods to delete it for you, they would be able to. :]

Daisy looked up nervously as she ascended the castle staircase slowly. As graceful as she tried to walk, she kept thinking of herself tripping over her shoes in the least graceful manner. It was true that Daisy was not the most coordinated person. She could hardly be called 'noble', and Daisy knew that. It was really her aunt and uncle that were taking her to this grand ball, and those two members of her family were the most noble. She sighed and wondered why her mother ever let her live with her uncle and aunt for the past month.

For now, Daisy looked upon the castle and the snow with growing curiousity. She felt no excitement or joy at the sight; only curiousity. She faltered while entering the castle doors, and her uncle, whose arm was strongly holding onto hers, groaned, "Walk correctly." Her aunt, whose arm was wrapped around Daisy's uncle's other arm, remained quiet, but Daisy could see her scornful face. She sighed again as the light of the castle reached her, 'Here I go...'

MaiShadowAlchemist
Katherine walked up the stairs she looked at the castle and a small smile appeard on her mouth she liked balls but she somethimes didnt like the people that went to the balls some of them were really boring and only talked about money and bussines, Katherine was more into arts "Hope something interesting happens" She thought as she kept walking.
She looked around and took a deap breath she was kind of exited she loved dancing, and couldnt wait to reach, the castle it was really cold outisde.
miracle_flame_alchemist147
Muzai taizai- You're right! XD I haven't talked to you in such a long time! How are you? I don't think it's worth bothering the mods for.. ^^
DarkBrain- Okay thanks! happy.gif

----

James made sure his clothes were clean and in perfect condition since he didn't want to make a bad impression on his first time serving royalty during a ball. He looked at his appearance in the mirror; everything was fine except that he was a servant for some rich, pompous person when he could have been graduating college by now, turning around with a sigh James made his way to the ballroom to get ready for the numerous guests attending during that evening.
MaiShadowAlchemist
Katherine finally entered the castle she took a deap breath and then looked around and then entered the ballroom she smiled it was really beatifull she then noticed the orchestra and her smile widened and closed her eyes just listening the music.

MaiShadowAlchemist

Razzy
(Haha, yeah, let's continue, shall we? XD DarkBrain tends to disappear from this site spontanaously(sp?), so until I talk to him, I won't know when he'll be back. But right now I have writer's block, sorry. Can someone else post? ^^U)
miracle_flame_alchemist147
((I'll try! and yeah I noticed that.. so I guess Nathaniel can join right?))

James carried th tray full of assorted mini pastry things across the room as guests took a piece or two from the tray.

((there! I'm mental blocked..))
MaiShadowAlchemist
I will try...I think I forgot my character name...Ohhh!! I remembered

Katherine walked trought the salon lost in her thoughts "No one is inviting to dance this is kind of boring" She thought...

There it is!! I have a major writer block!!...I need chocolate *walks away*
*comes back eating chocolate* I think there should be a more complete plot you know like (There is this evil king that decided to trew a Masquerade Ball not knowing that there were many people that wanted to kill him and the ball being the perfect chance) *This is a random example* I dont know...It is Dark Brain decition.
That One Dude
((mmk... here goes:

Name: Seth

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Occupation: Servant

Personality: Cryptic, cold, mysterious, and somewhat clumsy, but deep down a very caring and passionate person

Appearance: Soon, young ones. Soon.))

Seth sighed as he prepared to take his tray over to the guests of the party. In all honesty, he could do without all this fancy-shmancy stuff, but it was either, as he called it "serving spoiled rich people whatever they want me to serve even though I can't" or doing menial labor at the stables. In all honesty, he could handle the usually pompous attitude of royalty far better than he could ever block out the smell of horse manure.
Razzy
Daisy now parted paths from her aunt and uncle. Though she was glad to be rid of her scornful temporary guardians, she was not glad to be left alone in such a large and unfamiliar place. The carefree music did not lighten her awkward uneasiness. She frantically retreated to a wall and stood against it. She gazed at the other people, both the dancers and the servants, and was glad she was out of the scene.
miracle_flame_alchemist147
As James went around the room serving the different nobles and royalty he spotted a girl, no doubt of nobility, leaning against the wall looking as if she was glad to be away from the crowd. Seeing that his tray still had some more food left before he retreated to the kitchens for more, James made his way towards the girl. "Wonder why she isn't with those other pompous idiots gossiping..? thought James.
MaiShadowAlchemist
Katherine looked around "Damm I am getting sick of this" She thought she spotted an empty chair and sat down just listening to the music again lost in her thoughts.
That One Dude
Seth spotted a young woman of royalty sitting in a chair. He sighed and approached her with a wary expression, then made a slight bow as he offered her some pastries from the tray he was carrying. "Miss?" he asked in a rather tired voice.
MaiShadowAlchemist
Katherine was dragged out of her thoughts, she was about to decline but then she looked at the man she then smiled lightly as she grabbed a pastrie "Thank You" She said
Razzy
Daisy saw the servant walking toward her and she quickly cast her eyes down to the floor, since she never liked having eye contact with anyone. She felt odd tonight; she wanted to be left alone, yet she wanted guidance. This place was odd, and she felt out of place. She didn't want to be here, and that feeling was one that Daisy was absolutely certain of. She thought that maybe she wanted to cry, but then again she was far too perplexed at how she could possibly belong here at all. 'Why am I here? What in the world was my mother thinking when she sent me here? She must have been crazy.' Daisy thought, still looking at the ground awkwardly.
That One Dude
Seth smiled back at the girl and bowed slightly. "It's only my job, miss." he said in reply to her gratitude and walked away, serving more royalty around the ball as he made his way to pick up another tray once the one he was carrying was empty.
MaiShadowAlchemist
Katherine smiled back she then eat the pastrie it was dealicious she smiled, somethimes sweets helped but she still was bored to dead.
miracle_flame_alchemist147
"Good evening miss. May I offer you some pastries?" asked James politely offering her the patries on his tray. "Or perhaps you'd rather drink something instead..?" he said.
Razzy
Daisy looked up, but almost jumped as the boy spoke. "P-Pardon? Oh! I- No, thank you," she managed to say nervously. 'Why am I so jumpy? Eh... At least I didn't trip over my shoes...yet...' she thought.
miracle_flame_alchemist147
"Are you all right miss?" asked James as saw the girl stutter after being surprised that he spoke to her. "Are you sure you don't need anything at all?"
Razzy
'What I need is a coach out of this place...' Daisy thought miserably, but replied, "No, I-I'm fine. I'm just act weird sometimes. No need to bother with me! Heh..." She realized that by the time she finished talking, she was talking much more faster, and she was also prattling. It was a terrible habit she did when she felt uneasy. (That was another thing that her aunt and uncle would've scolded her for if they had been present at the time.) Daisy hoped that what she had spoken was intelligible; she tended to not speak clearly when she spoke fast. 'You're such a horribly nervous person. Why did your aunt and uncle leave you alone by yourself? You'll end up dead by the end of the night after tripping over nothing.' she thought, sighing. She breathed deeply and said at a normal speed, "S-Sorry, I tend to- well, anyway I'm fine. Th-thanks."
That One Dude
Seth sighed and kept serving more people at the ball, his expression growing somewhat more annoyed each time he met with a noble or some pompous woman that was a royal pain in the-- "Over here! We're starving!" called out one of the royals. Seth sighed heavily and approached. The woman gave him a criticizing look. "Waiter, get me some water, I'm as dry as a desert!" Seth prevented himself from rolling his eyes at her should-be-comical comment. "I'm not a waiter, madam, as you can see I'm serving pastries and don't have a drink on me." he said in a submissive tone, even though the comment was plenty defensive. "So go get it." the lady ordered pompously. Seth sighed and merely left her alone. She can go get her own water, that lazy, pompous, arrogant...!!
miracle_flame_alchemist147
"Very well miss but if you need anything please don't hesitate to call for me or any of the other servants around." said James looking at the girl kindly and smiling. "Oh by the way miss if you're in need of a place to relax for a moment the balcony is nearby you is welcome to anyone who wishes to use it." added James before bowing slightly then turning around. "She sure is different, that one...." thought James to himself as he made his way a group of pompous fools who were yelling loudly. "Idiots.." thought James dryly not looking at where he was going then crashing into another servant who just left a lady who was asking for water. "Ah-! Excuse me! I'm extremely sorry!" said James rubbing his head which was aching from the collision. The tray he was carrying was on he gruond with its pastries scattered on the floor.


((Did everyone have a Hapy New year? happy.gif))
That One Dude
Seth gasped as his tray fell to the floor from the collision with the other servant, it's contents ruined. He looked at the other servant and smiled kindly, even though his face looked as though he was annoyed and tortured at the same time. "No worries, it's alright, I should have watched were I was headed." he said modestly and picked up both their trays, handing the other servants his own. "Here, you dropped this." he said kindly.
Razzy
As the servant left, Daisy smiled politely, then gazed around to look at the balcony. "Balcony," she muttered. "Hm." She considered going to it, but decided to stay planted where she was uncomfortably leaning against the wall in a manner that was too casual for a person seemingly of nobility to stand. She didn't want to attract any attention to herself, no matter how small amount of attention. 'Heavens forbid I fall flat upon my-' her thoughts were cut short when a series of loud clatters upon the floor reached her ears. Daisy quickly looked over to discover that the servant who had just departed from her had bumped into another servant. 'Poor boy. Hopefully he isn't as clumsy as this all the time.' she thought. Her thoughts of people might have been split into clumsy and coordinated people. At least, that was the way she divided classes. To her, nobility was gained if you were coordinated and graceful. She thought of herself as clumsy, and thought that she did not deserve any nobility. Of course, this train of thought was absurd, and Daisy knew it. She was going to move away from the wall, which seemed to be the only place that she was familiar with in the entire building, and help the servant, but she saw that he was already being helped. But she suddenly got an odd and crazy reaction. Without thinking about what she was doing, she lept from the wall and walked up to the servant. "Would you like help?" she said, breathless, feeling ridiculous, but content. Daisy would much rather be near this boy than any other person there.
miracle_flame_alchemist147
James took his tray from the other servant he bumped into. "Thank you." he said looking apologetic as he stood up. Then he heard a familiar voice asking him if he needed any help, he saw the girl from awhile ago. "Ah no miss. It's alright!" he said not looking directly at her face since he thought it was probably rude and that most people were now looking at the accident and at them. James looked at the other servant and helped him stand up. "Do you want to go back to the kitchens together to get cleaned up a bit before resuming to our duties?" he asked the other boy quietly before turning to the girl. "Thank you miss for the offer but I'm afraid I can't really ask someone of your noble status to help a servant like me now, can I now?" James said smiling a bit, he was beginning to like this girl. She wasn't like those other pompous idiots in the room who just looked at them and whispered like this was something as scandalous as someone getting murdered in the middle of the party.
Razzy
"Noble status?" Daisy asked incredulously, speaking more to herself than to the boy. 'At least I managed to convince one person that I'm born of nobility.' She thought, and looked around, but her aunt and uncle were nowhere to be seen, though there was quite a bit of people staring at her scornfully. Then she turned back to the boy and said briskly, "No, I would really like to help! This is such a dreadfully dull place. I have nothing to occupy my mind with! Please, sir?"
miracle_flame_alchemist147
"No miss." said James firmly talking to the persistent girl in a whisper that only she could hear. "I can't allow it, I'm sorry but if you do want to help you can, that is if you want, follow me to the kitchens and we can find something for you to do without any of these people," James tried not calling the idiots staring at them idiots, "Seeing you so that you won't scorn your family name or pride or dignity for that matter."
That One Dude
Seth took the other servant's hand and silently agreed to go back to the kitchen. He then blinked and listened intently at the noble girl, questioning as to why she would want to help someone as lowly as them. He almost though it was an act of pure kindness and concern, but when he heard her complaining about how dull the ball was, he sighed softly. He heard the servant saying something about scorning her family and then sighed softly, whispering. "Mother was right." he said and straightened himself off. I still have to go get that lady's water... whoopee. he thought and cleared his throat.
miracle_flame_alchemist147
James looked at the other servant who cleared his throat. "Let's go then." he said curtly looking at Daisy not waiting for her answer as to whether she's coming or not. But before he started walking to the kitchens he whispered soft enough for Daisy to hear that she could come with them if she wanted to. And then he started carefully making his way towards the kitchens making sure not to create another accident.

((Where are the others..? DarkBrain's still missing..))
