Re: Æthercoil: Togetherness
Along the way, Johnny saw Jamie appear to vanish in a flash of light, and then reappear the same way, with a tube in her hand. He didn't ask what it was for, knowing that she'll reveal it. Besides, he was busy being next to Angel.
Johnny knew that he already introduced himself to the group, so he recapped his latest caper. "I spent a month or two personally entertaining a prince in his castle, with her mother who was a bit of a..." He glanced over to who he was talking about and thought better of relaying the freak that Queen was. "Anyway, I caught wind of a general of the king's army staging a coup, and you know how Court Jesters are prone to say things that nobody else would have the balls to say. It's part of the job, along with dressing in a silly costume, prancing around all zany and stuff and performing in the streets. I ended up blowing the coup scheme wide open. The general got beheaded, and I got knighted. Even got a new snazzy motley and some magic items to use in my act."
He then turned to Angel and placed his hand on her shoulder. "When I heard that Angel here had a dream of having her own kingdom, I gladly offered my help." He glanced over to see Angel's expression to his display, and then put that hand behind his head. "I have to admit that I find myself smitten by her. I'd love to be the Jester to Queen Angel Bard. Of course, I have to deal with her parents."
When it was Jamie's turn to introduce herself, she said, "I've headed out to represent the Black Forest Coven as I traveled the lands seeking for answers. There are some things missing in history that I have to find out what happened. Some of which you've probably haven't thought about, so I'll keep what I'm looking for under my pointy hat for now.
Along the way, I help out whoever I am, such as this stray map I got here. It's about a castle that nobody has claimed, which has some secrets that will allow someone to claim a whole kingdom for himself. Or in this case, herself."
And with that, Jamie set the map on the table next to Angel. There was a sound of something rattling in the case to boot. "It's part of my coven's ways to give away any magical item, map, or someone else you don't need to someone who might. Usually, I just drop them off at some mission house, but I think this might interest you, Angel. Especially after you deal with my warlock's ... memory problems."
Jamie turned toward Meiou with a look of concern in her eyes. She didn't count on him being amnesiac to boot.
