Elsewhere, Maria and Evergreen were hiding in some bushes on the property with the big mansion. Seeing that this place was out of the ordinary, the both of them deduced that this was a likely area where they would find Lady Blackburn. All that it took was to actually see the lady, confirm with a name, and report back to the party. I'm hungry, Maria. Evergreen complained. Maria could feel Evergreen wanted gummies, but in a foreign land like this, she doubted they would see some anytime soon. "We'll see what we can eat when we've finished reconnaissance."
@122 Generation A flash of blue got Maria's attention--Lady Blackburn was heading out to the statue site. This meant the manor would be unoccupied for a few hours.
Who was that? Evergreen said, seeing the flash of blue. "No clue, but I have a hunch." Maria smiled. "Come on! Let's check out the place before she comes back." I have a bad feeling about this. Evergreen stood up and followed Maria to the manor.
@122 Generation The manor was an opulent house--even the carpet on the floor gleamed with gold. The next question was what could be found to help those that suffered under the mansion's owner.
@Tala The smithy carefully worked a piece of wood into a flute. Even though it was only going to look like a prayerflute, he believed this fake prayerflute would deliver them from the notorious lady.
The splendor of the mansion caused Evergreen's eyes to be as wide as saucers. Whoa... how can the owner afford all of this?! Look at this carpet! "Looks expensive." Maria looked around the house. "Looks like no one else is here either. Maybe we can find out some information from this place." (Remember, they don't know this place belongs to Lady Blackburn)
"So, where should we start?" Maria said. We should check whether anyone else is in here. Evergreen looked around. We do need to find evidence, though.
@122 Generation Luckily, even Lady Blackburn's staff despise her, although they dare not make their disdain known in public. The servants would be willing to help you if it means they are no longer bound to serve a ruthless and greedy mistress.
pachi tucked on Mel arm. "play" she said. "pachi this is important. I want to learn" she said stern. pachi started to cry and be mad. "dont be like that. we need to learn how to become heroes" as she grabbed the pachirisu and hold her tight. pachi gave a little shock. "I am used to it. its not hurting." jhowever when she bit Mel.let go of her. Pachi ran off. "pachi come back"
@122 Generation The study is a warm and inviting space to read, with books on almost any topic under the sun. Some of them even tell the story of the Blackburn family.
Lunti and Bagsik, finding nothing to do jumped on a few fruit trees near a large mansion and began eating the fruit they found. 'What's that?' Bagsik pointed out to a blur of blue moving at great speed. "Let's follow it~" Lunti suggested, the two taking off after the flash of blue.
Mel felt worried. she bowed to the smith and went outside hopinf to find the pachirisu. "pachi" she said worried. "Pachi where are yoy??" (an idea that the queen has Pachirisu?")
@Tala (Lady Blackburn despises cute things of any sort, so her having a Pachirisu would be out of character)
