All right. Here's a basic break-down of the setting. As you might have guessed from the title, all players will be RPing a partygoer at a social to celebrate the founding of Therant Corp in the large manor of the company's founder. Your character may be at this meet-and-greet for practically any reason. You can be an old friend of the founder, Mr. Therant, himself or simply be an aqquaintance of a low-level employee, a reporter here to do interviews with the company bigwigs or even an employee of a rival corporation trying to scope out the new competition; be creative! Characters from the games may make an appearance however if that is who you wish to play as. Remember though, this is a formal affair, so dress appropriately. :damon:

There is no need to submit any true form of character profile for this roleplay. If the other players are interested in finding out about your character's background and his/her personality let them find out by socializing with you. I only request your character's name and a brief description of your character's appearance that I will add to this post so that new players won't have to dig through a mass of posts just to find out what you look like.

I have just a few simple rules to follow:
1) Follow all established Court Records rules for roleplaying (please follow the paragraph rule and no god-moding).
2) Please use good grammar for the sake of those playing around you.
3) Have fun!
4) Be respectful of your fellow roleplayers, they want to have fun too.

Alphonse slowly made his way through the main hall and into the large ballroom. The room was grand with large chandeliers filling it full of their luminescent spleandor. The walls were lined with tall windows, each only half covered by equally tall red, velvet curtains. A small five piece strings band played music from the corner while the Therant Corp. employees who had already arrived were busy making smalltalk. He knew none of these men nor did he even have a good reason for being at the party, but he was here for, and purely for, the sake of his employer who was set on introducing Alphonse to his businessmen friends. All he had to do was smile, say his name, and shake a few hands, and he would be able to appease his boss. For now though he waited until the aforementioned employer arrived. There was no sense in starting a never ending process any earlier than he had to.

Ashlyn Boulevard wearily trudged through all the busy chattering men, slightly irritated of the incident that had just occured while she was in the walking along in the main hall . A few men had stepped on her small feet and had broken the heel of her high heels and she was walking a little 'flopsy' because of it.

Anyhow, she made through the employees and pondered silently.
Am I the first female to actually step into this building?

Still fustrated, she sighed heavily and made way, trying to find a person that wasn't busy chatting
or doing affairs.
Just as she given up, she found the only person who seemed to have nothing of importance in mind.

"Erm...h-hello? Mr...? Excuse me, but have you seen Mr.Therant?"

((Edit 1: Sorry for not putting the appearance in earlier , I forgot about that. :payne:

Here it is: Ashlyn casually wears flats, skinny jeans and a white blouse, but when attending important affairs such as business work, she attires a long, light blue skirt, completed with a white shoulderless top; she occasionally carrys a dark blue purse with all her needs inside.))

He looked towards the woman who had just spoken to him and gave a quick shake of his head before speaking. "I'm sorry Miss. I've never actually met Mr. Therant before so I wouldn't recognize him even if I had seen him walking about." Alphonse paused for a moment, taking time to examine the woman and noticing her broken heel. How unfortunate. The party is just beginning too. "However, if you are willing to wait for his arrival I can have my employer point Mr. Therant out to you."

"O-oh..." Ashlyn stared at Alphonse glumly as he finished anwsering her question.

"Well, actually..." Ashlyn moved closer to Alphonse' ear and made sure he was the only one who could hear, "I'm not from this company...I'm doing a very dirty deed. My boss told me to come here and spy a little bit...."

Ashlyn moved back to where she was, and smoothed her dress as if she had just said nothing.
She put a finger to her lips and gave Alphonse a 'Don't-tell-anyone-else' look and shyly stared away.
She noticed him staring at her broken heel, and flushed slightly, covering her broken high heel with her long overflowing skirt.

Alphonse let a suprised look slip out, despite his best efforts, when she had told him of her covert objective. He didn't think that business was such a complex battlefield as to make use of spies, yet here one stood just before him. She was a soldier of the constant war for capital. He quickly regained his composure and inconspicuous appearance and began to speak again. "Well then, I wish you the best of luck in your mission," he said quietly enough for only her to hear suitably yet remain nonchalant. "I do hope that you have a good cover story, though. I'm sure there are several higher-ups on the lookout for someone such as yourself."

"H-higher ups? What will they do when they catch me?"
Ashlyn bit her lip and watched nervously at all the men around her.
Any one of these men could catch me... that guy makes a point. If only I had a good cover up...

After zoning out for a bit with Alphonse's idea of being caught, Ashlyn sighed with a breath of guilt and confessed, "A-actually..."
Ashlyn looked around again, notifying anyone watching the two conversing,

"N-Nevermind...I..." Ashlyn trailed off and backed away from Alphonse a bit.
It was quite the story she was wanting to tell Alphonse, but she couldn't do it otherwise.

"E-erm...do you know what this company does? My boss only informed me about..." Ashlyn trailed off again, and moved back a bit more;

I c-can't tell him...I'll get c-caught... What should I do...?

"I'm not quite sure what they do. I think it has something to do with steel, but I'm-" He stopped mid-sentence. "Calm down," he told the woman, noticing how nervous she was and the steps back she was taking. She must just now be realizing the legal repercussions of what she's doing. "If you're caught, at best they'll have security escort you out; at worst you will pay nice fine." Alphonse paused for a moment and did his best to recall all of what he learned about bussiness law before continuing. "By all technicalities you've only committed one crime that I can tell, and it's next to impossible to prove it," he said giving her a wily smile. "Besides, It's not against the law to listen to loose lips."

"A f-fine?!" Ashlyn gazed at Alphonse shocklingly as she cupped her mouth with her delicate hand,
"B-But! I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO THAT! My boss...!" Ashlyn had just noticed she had screamed those last too words out, but fortunately only 3 heads turned to look her way, only to return back to their small conversations.

I have to tell him...I have to. B-but...wait. I have an idea. Quickly, Ashlyn! Turn the subject around ...Say something!

"....Ahem...s-sorry about that. I...I'm Ashlyn Boulevard. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier...may I ask what's your name? You seem to be the only...person I can trust around h-here..."

"Alphonse Baudin," he said as he straightened his tie, "at your service." He could tell that his new acquaintance was still hiding information, but he would rather not press her on the matter. She seemed to be worried enough without him interrogating her for what she might know. "That sense of trust comes from the fact that I'm one of the few here who do not necessarily have this company's best interests at heart," he stated rather bluntly. Alphonse could not help but feel some pity for Ashlyn. She seemed so in over her head that it aroused a rare gesture of sympathy for her. "You," he started, "look like you could use some fresh air. Would you like to take a walk out in the courtyard?" He took his time trying to say these last two sentences. The words sounded as if the sentiment needed to form them was foreign to him.

"Mr.Baudin..." Ashlyn smiled as he straightened his tie; charming, she thought.
"Trust... is a hard thing to believe in a small amount of time..." Yet, why am I telling him all my secrets?

"A-anyways..." Ashlyn flushed a bit as he offered her a walk out in the courtyard; she hesitated but
quickly replied, "I sh-shouldn't..." But looking at the desperation of her own situation made her rethink her decision.
"L-look...my boss told me to do something important here. It's vital for our company's sake...b-but..."

I have to get out of here.

"Maybe...a few minutes would be fine..."

He gave Ashlyn an embarrassed smile. "I'm sure it can't hurt. The party has only just started after all, and the fresh air will help calm you down," he told her, his voice slowly working it's way back into sounding as natural as did only a minute ago. "Shall we?" he asked, as he politely extended an arm out for her to hold.

" ...alright...but only if you take me somewhere where there's not sweating men..."
Ashlyn laughed and flushed even more as she took his arm unnaturally.
Slightly scared of her own social outcome, she was at least safe from security and everyone else around her.
"So, Mr.Baudin..." Ashlyn began to speak when he led her to the courtyard,
"You say you're not interested in this company...but why are you still working?"

He took some time to think on his answer before replying, "I'm not working so much as I'm keeping up appearances." A slightly disgruntled appearance took hold of his face as he continued, "You see, I'm really only here to make my boss happy by meeting with his associates. Though, it does give me a chance to spread my name and what little reputation I have around, and it keeps me in good standing to earn a promotion." It was not long after he said this that they reached the courtyard. It was a beautiful area in the shape of a large circle with great walls seemingly made of trimmed rose bushes and completely quiet other than the distant murmur that could be heard from the manor behind them and the soft splashing sounds of a fountain that stood at the circles center. He let his expression return to normal and stopped just before the fountain. After glancing around the area and finding no other visitors to the courtyard around them he turned his head to Ashlyn. "Will this suffice? I can see nor smell any signs of sweaty men nearby," he said jokingly and with a light smile on his face. It was now his turn to flush, and the realization of this caused his face to redden even more.

"Oh..." Ashlyn thought lightly about Alphonse's anwser to her question, replying only a few minutes later; the view of the courtyard was too beautiful to ignore and the two walked around slowly.
"Were both in the same shoes then! I mean, my situation right now...I m-mean-" Ashlyn paused and noticed the redness of Alphonse's facial appearance but thinking it was something of the allergies sort, kept talking.

"It's just that...my b-boss...he's abu-" Ashlyn paused once again and couldn't help but glare at how red he was.
Laughing at the small joke her escort made, she curiously asked, "Mr.Baudin...may I ask why you're so red in the face?" Ashlyn blushed almost the same colour as she asked the awkward question.

Alphonse was caught unprepared to answer her question and tried his best play it off. "Ah! I-It's nothing," he said almost too quickly. "It's just," he hesitated trying to think of a good lie. "It's just allergies is all." He then tried to change the subject as quickly as possible. "What was that you were about to say about your boss?" He hoped that his attempt was not in vain or that Ashlyn did not realize his poor excuse was a fabrication.

"Only if you say so..." Ashlyn gave Alphonse a skeptical look, continuing to glare at his red face only to raise suspicion - but Alphonse was quick and changed the subject immediately before Ashlyn could say something.

"O-oh! My boss! Right..." It was obvious she was STILL trying to hide something from Alphonse even though he was her first and foremost, nicest, new aquaintance of the party.

Don't tell him yet, Ashlyn. Don't tell him. Just lie. Just LIE.

"Erm...my boss likes...apple pie with whipping cream on top." Ashlyn bit her lip once again in 'nervous-mode'; she knew she was done for. She prayed for the best and hoped Alphonse didn't notice the randomness of her reply.

Apple pie?! He thought. His inner exclaimation seemed so forceful that he almost thought he had made it audible. "I see. Well, it is a fine dessert," he said in a less than enthused tone. I suppose that is what I deserve. It is only natural that a liar would be lied to. Alphonse took a moment before he spoke again. "So, what exactly is it that you do at your job, other than attempt to spy that is?" he asked. He determined that he would find out the secrets she hid from him when she was ready to reveal them. For now though, he would simply wait patiently and listen to what she would tell him.

((Just C&P into the first post =D))

A tall man swept across the courtyard, ignoring the two people already in there. His presence seemed to make the roses wilt - although it may have been the purplie liquid he dropped onto them with his hidden hand - not that it was noticeable in the darkness. He reached the fountain, where he watched the water. His shoulders moving up and down, as if he was crying - or laughing. He was doing the latter - honestly, the security had barely checked his ID - he'd tested them, giving him his real ID - with a name that had made him Public Enemy Number Eight - not that he wanted to go higher up.

"Y-yes...apple pie is certainly the dessert..." Ashlyn tried hard not to laugh at the rather unusual topic for a walk out in the courtyard; Hey, at least it takes his mind off from what I almost revealed to him. Ashlyn thought quite positively of the whole situation until he asked yet another question which broke the silence that arose between the two.

"Erm...w-well..." Ashlyn, noticing the unusual extremely tall man pouring liquid over roses, moved closer to Alphonse in sure of safetyness from him.

"I work...for a mail s-service." Ashlyn, who was still waiting for Alphonse's reaction of doubtfulness, added, "The kind that sends postcards...and stuff. Mhmm." The man who was making roses wilt unnaturally was making Ashlyn very uncomfortable, making her hold tightly onto Alphonse's arm subconciously.

"You work for a mail service?" he asked completely disbelieving her. "Now what exactly does a mail service need to know from a buisiness like Therant Corp?" Her answers were becoming more and more implausable with every question. He soon noticed the fierce grip Ashlyn had imposed upon his arm and how much closer she had moved towards him. "Is everything alright?" He quickly began scanning the area without even waiting for a response, thinking that perhaps she had noticed someone listening in on their conversation. It was then that he noticed the abnormally tall man standing near the water fountain and the newly wilted roses hanging from their once proud posts. His laughing frame and odd appearance of course made the man seem suspicious, but, more importantly, it made him appear dangerous. It was a prejudice on Alphonse's part, but his instincts were practically yelling at him that this man meant to threaten his, Ashlyn's, and everyone else's wellbeing.

Kitty walked up to the manor. She wasn't invited to the party, and that annoyed her. She was invited to partys all the time, and any ones she wasn't invited to were simply too exciting to miss. Besides, her client was invited. Being a psycologist had a lot of perks.
She walked into the hallway, looking like she was supposed to be there. Surprisingly, she blended in with the majority of people, even the old fuddy-duddys with boring suits and dresses.

"Yes papa. The car's about to park in front of the manor. It seems the press has made their way here too..." A soft voice spoke into the receiver of the car's built in phone, dark brown eyes staring outside from tinted windows. Flashes from cameras and lights made their way into the car, momentarily causing the girl inside to wince due to their brightness. Listening carefully to her father's instructions, she waited for the car to park and its corresponding chauffeur to leave his seat in order to open the door for her. He did so briskly, showing his professionalism with each movement. Bidding farewell to her father, she gently placed the phone down and carefully lifted her skirt from the car floor. A prepared smile was plastered on her face as she exited through her right hand side. Anyone with a camera at hand readily snapped pictures of the young girl, clearly showing that she was no mere guest. As she began to walk towards the manor's entrance, someone from the crowd immediately called her name. It was someone from the local newspaper, obvious from the camera hanging from his shoulders. He had a tape recorder at hand, ready to interview the newcomer. She gracefully turned towards the man, smiling all the more.

"Yes?" She asked, pink lips curving once again.

"Miss Hiiragizawa, I'm from Business Nightly and I'd love it if you could answer a few questions." The brown haired woman gave a slight nod, indicating that she was willing to spare time and talk to the eager man. Pressing the record button, he proceeded with his interview. "Your father's corporation has played a huge role with the founding of Therant Corporation, is that right?" This was old news, the thought ran in her mind, wondering what he wanted to accomplish with his already answered question. Careful not to show the slight bewilderment in her face, she nodded once more and added, "Indeed. My father has been a benefactor of Therant Corp. He has placed quite an investment into the corporation." The interviewer nodded meekly, showing that he asked the question, only for it to serve as an icebreaker.

He looked the woman directly into her eyes and spoke once more. "We've been hearing rumors that your father will be leaving his position to you instead of your older brother. Wasn't he the one initially meant to be president?" The question hit a nerve in the woman, but as before, the smile on her face was constant. Parting her painted lips, she nodded before answering. "Father has appointed me to be his successor instead of my brother. That indeed, is true but to clear the matter up, the reason as to why he did so was because my older brother wished to pursue something else." Her expression was the same through her explanation, forcing the man to believe what she had said to be true. It seemed no further questions would be asked from her so she thanked the man and turned towards the entrance once more.

It seems tonight would be relentless as always... The brown haired woman thought, sighing inwardly. In truth, she was used to this. To be more precise, being raised to know what and what not to tell the press never left room for her to be uncomfortable with situations like these, because being a Hiiragizawa meant knowing how to lie.

The tall man had left the fountain, and returned inside. The flashing camera's outside caused him to step into the shadows. "Hm... why would there be so many people taking photos of some... ah, yes." he muttered quietely under his breath - he couldn't forget his role in this. Of course, there would be no need for disguise if he had picked up that damn contract - but maybe he could get it here. Either way, being here would be useful way to give some information. He then noticed the person coming towards the entrance. Staying in the shadows, his hand flew towards his gun.

The front of the manor was adorned by two white doors taller than any the woman had seen. It seemed to be made out of Siamese Rosewood, meaning that the door would be more than 'quite heavy'. Thankfully, it was open, sparing her the trouble of having to open them herself. The guards had no need to ask for any identification and merely let the brown haired woman inside. Much to her dismay, she wondered if security truly was this lax or was it merely her status that allowed her reckless passage. The interior of the building was superbly decorated, each wall decked with paintings and sculptures. Not only was it embellished well but the lighting in the manor made everything shine vibrantly. Making her way past the main hall, she soon found the ballroom. It seemed everyone had already arrived, yet she found it hard to identify her father amongst the crowd. After a quick scan of the room, she knew that her father must have been sitting down or chatting further within the crowd. Gracefully, she lifted the rim of her skirt once more and proceeded inside the room. In only a few seconds, women more than twice her age started calling to her. One with platinum blond hair raised into a high bun approached, gave her a kiss on each cheek before she started chatting.

"Hiromi!" She greeted, voice shrill as if trying to make herself sound lively. "It's been so long since I've last seen you!" The brown haired woman smiled back and lightly chuckled, "Yes, it has been. I'm glad your husband's fund raiser was a success. Congratulations." Delight played into the deep blue eyes of the former, showing how glad she was that the younger woman remembered her. "Oh yes, it really was a success. Thanks to your fa--", but she was cut off, once again by another woman calling out to Hiromi. This was already a given, seeing as all parties tend to turn out this way for the young woman. Politely nodding to the blue eyed woman, she excused herself and apologized, this time, turning towards the one who had recently called her.

"Miss Hiiragizawa, how nice to see you here!" It was a woman with dark brown hair this time, in her early thirties. Curly brown hair was elegantly placed down, making her look noticeably younger than the other guests. Hiromi was greeted with a kiss on each cheek once more, followed by a somehow fake smile. "It's nice to see you here too, Elena. I've heard your business has been doing quite well."

The woman with curly hair found it to be quite a feat for someone as young as Hiromi to remember all these people and properly match them with where the young Hiiragizawa last saw them, yet being trained to remember everyone they meet was another burden placed upon the members of the Hiiragizawa family. Though small talk may seem cheap to most, it was believed otherwise for their family. With something such as 'small talk', you learn things about other people and slowly, you make your mark. And for them, nothing was more important than looking perfect and making a mark. Yet through her unknowingly strained smiles, through all her chuckles and elegance, she wanted to get out of the ballroom and stop smiling. She wanted to be herself and probably, go home.

The unknown man stayed in the shadows, his black clothing somewhat hiding him within it. The hand holding the pistol strayed into his pocket, removing a card from it, and slipping it into a pocket on the outside of his coat. He adjusted the bracelet on his wrist - of course, the details on the bracelet were fake, unlike the bracelet itself. He walked into the ballroom, and this time didn't bother hiding. He leant against the wall, wondering when one of the guests would notice him.

Name: Lloyd Masters
Appearance: Average height, slim build. Wearing a hired suit at the cheapest rate he could find. Short brown hair and eyes.
----------------------------
Damn, this punch is good.
Lloyd chugged down what by now must have been his sixth glass of punch. Or was it seven? It didn't matter - after so long one or two drinks on the side didn't make a difference.
In all honesty, Lloyd shouldn't really have been there. He was hardly exaggerating when he said that he was the relative of a friend of a neighbour of a cousin, twice removed. Not that this upset him - this was the kind of community that he would never be able to get into normally. The air practically smelt of money.
No longer thirsty, he began to look about the ballroom. A million unknown people all speaking with one another about nothing important. He began to regret coming alone - it was becoming clear that no-one really intended to talk to him.
Then one girl in the hallway caught Lloyd's eye. Unlike the rest of those invited she was dressed insanely casually in a top and jeans. Maybe it was simply the alcohol fooling his brain, but she didn't belong in the environment at all.
"Well, I guess I can go check if I'm still sober, then," he muttered, replacing his glass and walking out to the hallway.
After about five steps he realised it was becoming difficult to walk straight.
That isn't a good sign.

We won...somehow. Townie victory on Day 12.

And so it begins.

"...Thank God, he's gone!" Ashlyn whispered faintly as she still held on to Alphonse's arm only noticing it a few minutes later that she was clutching onto him very tightly; even after the 'dangerous' man's aura had gone.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to..." She hesitated, holding off poor Alphonse's arm.
She blushed to a crimson red, and hesitated to glare at the wilted roses; she frowned slightly.
Her first instinct was to make sure Alphonse forgot about the lying she had done before the dark man appeared suspiciously.
"My...those roses were beautiful. Why does beauty always have to be destroyed?"
Ashlyn fixed her gaze into Alphonse's dark brown eyes and slowly looked down.
Changing the subject once again, she added,
"Who was that man? He looks suspicious..." At least he saved me from pouring out my secret.
"...I think we should go and see if he's up to something.
I'm a spy afterall -"
She said the last part under her breath, looked around cautiously and continued,
"I bet we could use a little fun afterall. What do you say, Alphonse?" Ashlyn smiled brightly at the word 'fun'; maybe she was going to have fun at this party of Therant's afterall.

((Pyu, more people should join~! :3))

Within only fives minutes upon her arrival, Hiromi had already finished conversing with twelve different people. She was currently moving on to her thirteenth. Though she was growing tired of all this unnecessary chatter, her duties as a member of her family did not allow for something as 'trivial' as rest. Making her way to the middle of the ballroom, she spotted her father sitting at a table near the far-right side of the room. Excusing herself from the person currently talking to her, Hiromi gracefully lifted her skirt by its sides and moved towards the aforementioned table. As she grew nearer, a man in his late fifties immediately stood up and walked towards her. When they were closed enough, Hiromi gave him a light peck on the cheek and faced towards the table her father was previously sitting in.

"As I was saying, this is my daughter, Hiiragizawa Hiromi." The man said as the gentlemen at the table all nodded towards her direction, acknowledging her presence. Momentarily parting from her, he went towards the table and excused himself, saying that he had something to discuss with his daughter. Without saying a word, he went to the direction of the courtyard with the young woman following obediently. Once the two were there, her father made sure to keep a fair distance from those already there before speaking to his daughter. In a hushed but stern voice, he asked, "Where are your friends? Did you not promise that they would be here?"

It was a question the young girl was unsure of how to answer. It was true that she had promised her father her friends would be present for the party, yet in reality, she never did bother to ask them. Out of her five friends, only one of them knew that Hiromi was the Hiromi Hiiragizawa and she wanted to keep it that way. Inviting her friends would have meant needlessly exposing the truth to them and in a way, giving the media a glimpse of the identity that she was trying all so hard to hide. Gathering the courage, she answered her father in a respectful tone. "Papa, please try to understand. I-I couldn't invite them. You know I've been trying so hard to hide... this from them. Bringing them here would be revealing myself to both my friends and the press. I just--"

Yet she was cut off. A retort from the same stern voice came back at her, "So you decided to lie to me instead of telling me they couldn't go? You should have told me the truth, Hiromi. That way we could have gotten replacements instead of making you look like a fool!" The words her father uttered were ruthless and even possibly, tactless. Meekly, the young woman answered, "But those replacements... T-they're not my real friends." She looked towards the groud, trying to avoid the anger she felt being directed at her by her father. "Disguising me as someone who has numerous friends isn't what I want papa. It's..."

Once again, she was left unheard. Her father had enough. Turning his back towards her, he left and went towards his table, as if nothing had happened. Though before her walked away, he uttered five painful words to the girl.

"But that's what society wants."

((Second.))

The man in the shadows had taken the time to put on a black veil and a pair of sunglasses. How, only the gap between his eyes, especially with his hood up. He saq the man talking to a young girl, and his soldier's sense buzzed at the base of his neck. The quieted the urge to remove his gun from it's holster, take aim and pull the trigger - however, he did walk towards them as they parted company, ignoring people who attempted to talk to him, or asking him to remove his hood, or his veil, or the sunglasses.

"It's quite alright," he told Ashlyn after she had apologized for grabbing his arm. "Are you sure you want to go following a man like that?" he asked, unsure if Ashlyn knew just what she might be getting in to. "It could be dangerous." He then looked at the smile she wore at just the thought of adventure during what would otherwise be an uneventful night. "Of course it could also be a bit exciting," he said. The words sounded strained, but he was fully intent on following through if Ashlyn decided she wanted to follow the man. The man was a clear danger as far as he could tell, and Alphonse intended to prevent any other misdeeds that man would attempt to perform in his presence. "Let's just make sure we remain inconspicuous. The last thing we need is him knowing that we're tailing him."

Obviously the other two people, an older male, and a young female who had been talking to each other earlier in the courtyard near Alphonse and Ashlyn seem to be invisible to them. Besides, there were much interesting things to spy on.
"Dangerous, sch-mangerous!" Ashlyn pushed him playfully, and smiled as Alphonse finally gave in to the idea of following the dark suspicious man.
"Besides...I know that you'll be a gentleman and do whatever it takes to protect me...right?" She gave a sincere look as she said this; now she was really toying with him. She hoped that her sudden change of mood would confuse Alphonse into playing a little game of "spy"...but who knows what would happen next?
"So, where shall we go to seek this dangerous man?"

The words her father uttered stung, but she wasn't going to cry. Not while everyone was still inside, able to view what she was doing. Taking a deep breath, she looked around and relished her time alone. The fountain was spewing out water that sparkled under the moonlight. She couldn't help but notice how the rose bushes surrounding the courtyard were now wilted. It seemed little care was given to the foliage. 'How saddening', she thought, imagining how beautiful they must've been in full bloom. Shaking her head, the woman finally decided to go back inside, remembering that she had more people to attend to. Slowly, she made her way back to the small group she was with. A smile was on her face once again, making it look like nothing had happened.

Alphonse gave a small bow at her gentleman comment. "But of course," he said as he raised himself. "It is a gentleman's duty to protect to protect his fair, female friend from any misfortune that may befall her." Alphonse made sure to add a slightly more stately tone to his voice for his last sentence. After giving Ashlyn's question about where to search for their mysterious danger-man a small amount of thought he came up with a reply. "The most logical place to search for him would would probably be somewhere inside," he glanced once more around the courtyard at all of the wilted roses before continuing, "I doubt he has anymore reason to remain out here."
