Even now, there are only embers...
Who: Vegeta, Saori, and Cliff (and maybe a few others)
What: Fairy Tale RPG Adventures
When: During the 2014 Total Recall Event
Where: All over Luceti
Summary: Saori and Vegeta are stuck living out a Fairy Tale RPG adventure with Cliff as an overlord. Shenanigans ensue?
Rating: PG-13? Possible violence and language. Maybe.
Lazeria, a once peaceful barony, is a land under siege by dark forces and hellish magic. The baron, a noble and kind (if somewhat oafish) man named Cliff has been cursed by black magic during a feast. A sorceress appeared and transformed him into a beast-man and the once bright land fell into shadow. The streets darken, strange creatures randomly attack passersby, and the baron himself hasn’t been himself for some time.
Enter two strangers from another land, intent on completing a mysterious quest. A fortuneteller had directed the pair to Lazeria, telling them that if they could defeat the accursed lord of the land that not only would light return, but that wealth and power beyond imagining would be their reward. That draws them in like moths to a flame, and the duo arrives in the dead of night, eager to figure out how best to overthrow Cliff and claim their prize.

Cliff watched the woman warily for a moment before sighing heavily. "Oh," he wanted to say, "is that all?
He trotted forward in lieu of further reply, and gracefully leaned back on his haunches before her. This woman felt like she was a force to be reckoned with, but Cliff saw no reason to fear her.

"You're the baron, are you not?"
no subject
Were he still graced with a human countenance, the woman would have seen Cliff's amused grin at being found out. Despite how common the knowledge of his curse was, the people of Lazeria had yet to fully connect the nightly appearances of the giant hound with their leader's affliction.
Cliff barked once, in an affirmative to her question. Perhaps, he realized, they could work together while he still had his mind.

"You poor thing. It must be dreadful not being able to talk. Did you need something, though?"
no subject
"Yeah," he wanted to say. He needed a lot of things-- like information about the state of affairs outside of his lands, what her purpose for travelling here was, and if she had any ideas about how to help him with his particular problems.
Instead, he barked once more. It was terribly frustrating.

Cliff cast the woman a long, withering look at her barely veiled insult before acquiescing to her demand and scratching out a quick symbol in the dirt:
?
He had only been curious about her and about anything she knew, but the full explanation was too complicated to write out when you weren't graced with the blessing of thumbs.
no subject
"You want to know why I'm here? Well, I'm here because of all the rumors. I see they're true."
no subject
Cliff dropped his head with a heavy sigh, internally chiding himself over how obvious the answer was. His affliction was no secret, but he had hoped that word hadn't travelled too far outside of his lands.
He eyed her up and down, still curious. He didn't recognize the style of clothes that she wore...
no subject
"It's news that's traveled far, to the East, beyond the Sea of Fire and to my homeland. Quite the curse, really. I've never seen it's like before."
no subject
The dog stared at her, as if struck dumb by the revelation. Such a distance was truly beyond the limits of Cliff's imagination. Influenced by a lifetime in this rural region, the idea that someone on the other side of the world had heard the tale and believed in it enough to leave her homeland to veryfy it for herself was unthinkable.
--unless, there was something else in play.
The growl was low, guttural, and started deep in the hollow of his chest. Ears flattened against his head, he snarled at the woman in a demand to know what it was that she truly wanted from this exchange.
no subject
"Don't like visitors, Baron?"
no subject
Cliff eyed her warily, distrusting the woman's tone and her intentions, and made a mental note to keep a keen eye on the woman's activities during her stay in his lands. Whomever she was, she was as dangerous as any beast.
Only one of those was allowed in this region, as long as it was under his watch.

no subject
Lacking the patience to deal with a woman like herself, Cliff let her go. The night was stil young and, if she were truly a threat to him or his lands, then the facts would make themselves known at the opportune time.
For now, there was no reason to give chase, but he would have his people keep a sharp eye on her in the future.
