The Masque of the Red Death [Open and ACCEPTING!!]

"Aha! Just in time fer dinner! Come on. We have to sit together and read our prayer," Old man Jack said as he pulled Nicholas into the hall after they beckoned Scarlet in. To their amazement, dinner was more like a feast.

"Why such grandeur?" Nicholas asked.

"Why, because we have a princess with us! She deserves a royal treatment along with her subjects anywhere she goes," Jack patted his back. Ow...  

[Rin128563]

"I thank you, but it really wasn't necessary," Scarlet laughed nervously and sat down at the table.  

[Nick_austin90]

"Nonsense! A princess shall always be a princess!" Jack said in his booming voice with a wave of his hand. "After saying grace though, there will be no more etiquette," Jack said as he winked playfully at Scarlet.  

[Rin128563]

Scarlet chuckled and nodded. She didn't want to argue about anything and let him have his way, he did save them after all.  

[Nick_austin90]

So the grace was recited by Jack himself, he added weird things and had the children laughing while the adults glaring, and after 5 minutes they sat quietly. "Well, tuck in!" Jack announced and the 'feast' began.

The most spectacular thing happened. The local villagers actually attacked their food and started gobbling up the food like they hadn't eaten for years. Nicholas nearly chocked but soon he was laughing at the villagers.  

[Rin128563]

Scarlet chuckled and also began to eat but of course not like the villagers.  

[Nick_austin90]

"Sorry fer this , your highness. My people always act like this. They just can't stay civilised long enough when faced with food," Jack said as he faked a hearty sigh.  

[Rin128563]

"It's quite alright, don't worry." She smiled and continued to eat.

((Oh there's another rper whos going to be joining soon. ^^))  

[Nick_austin90]

((Awesome!))

"Perhaps your people are just carefree," Nicholas said with a smile.

"Yup. That's about it, haha," Jack laughed.  

[SpakPak]

Christian Awoke around a bunch of other evacuees wondering "Why was I such an Idiot to go to that Mascarade in the first place." He was dying to know what was going on but much to shy to ask anyone.

(( I'm that new rper btw ))  

[Rin128563]

((lol :3))

Scarlet smiled and listened to Nicholas and Jack's converstation.  

[Nick_austin90]

"We have a few people missing. I thought there were 70 of us. I count only 65. Where are the others I wonder," Nicholas mused out loud to Scarlet.  

[Rin128563]

"Maybe they are just wondering around." Scarlet said trying to make sure to keep him calm and not worried.  

[Nick_austin90]

((I thought he was gonna hang around a bit))

"Maybe they skipped dinner to sleep," he mused and continued eating.  

[Rin128563]

((Yeah me too))

"Yes that is probably what they are doing," Scarlet chuckled and drank some of the wine that was given to her.
