Role-Play: The Blockade of Regis

[William one eye]

Im heading to the plantation for the night, if i dont return, i have either been caught, or i have been able contact my armada

[Jack Teach]

Fare you well mate, send my regards to the old man. He may be a haughty ****** but at least he's helpful. Now, Jack turns to Ellen. I need information on the king's visit, if you want a kidnapping I need to know when he's most vulnerable, when exactly he's coming, and other information that could be important.

[D00T]

The marine finishes loading the second musket
Anyone wants one?

[Jack Teach]

Jack reaches out for it. I could use one of those.

[Meliva]

Ellen turns to Jack. At the moment I know no more then you. But I will be changing that soon. He arrives in 2 days, which gives me some time to get some info out of the governor. Speaking of which, I am to have dinner with him tonight. So I will be off to start getting some info out of him soon. Ellen quickly goes deeper into the orphanage, into her private bedchambers, has a quick bath, puts on a nice conservative dress, and makes her way back to the governor mansion. She is rather surprised to find out the governor has had to attend business elsewhere, and she will be dining with the governors wife instead. Ellen is more then a bit worried- Much easier to get info out of an old man, then an old woman, especially if said woman suspects her of an affair. Always tomorrow Ellen thinks to herself. Governor cant be busy the whole 2 days. The Governess looks at Ellen, and curtly asks her what her relationship with the governor is. Ellen smiles "Well you see miss, I merely am a new friend of his, he likes to hear my tales, and I enjoy telling them. I have no desire to pursue any sort of affair with him- As I am sure you are aware I am the owner of the nearby Panselo orphanage- I am known as Mother Ellen to the little ones, and as Sister Ellen to the church-I am a Nun and have been such for my whole adult life." Ellen takes a Rosary out of her dress, and smiles warmly to the governess-who herself has seemed to soften upon learning no affair has taken place. The rest of the dinner goes by uneventfully- Ellen sadly finds out the governess knows nothing of the kings visit. Ellen begins making her way back to the Orphanage. "What terrible luck." She mutters to herself upon retiring to her bedchambers.

[D00T]

The marine hands Jack one of the muskets, along with some shot and powder
I’ll be stealing more from the armory, be right back
The marine leaves the room

[Jack Teach]

Jack takes the musket and inspects it. Get as many as you can. Jack goes to sleep. When he wakes he has an idea. No thinks Jack, that would be too risky. It could work but, it could work. Jack resolves to the tell Ellen his idea
later.

[Meliva]

Ellen gets up shortly before dawn. She decides to really get on the governor and his wifes good side, she may as well wear her proper apparel. She Dons her Nun clothes, which she had cleaned the day prior. She takes her Rosary and puts it on displaying it proudly on her neck. She goes down to the kitchen, and makes a large hearty breakfast for all the children and her guests. She knows today will be a big day, and she needs to get the governor to give as much info as possible. She mutters a quick prayer into her rosary. She sets the table and waits for Jack and everyone to enter the dining hall. Several orphans have already woken to the smell of cooking, and are currently waiting at the table for all to join for prayer. Ellen continues cooking more food, she figures she might not have a chance to cook for the little ones for a while- so she decides to make a good feast. She prepares various meats, breads, cheeses, fruits, even some pies. By the time she is done cooking, the sun has been up for an hour, and the table is filled with delicious looking food. Brian looks at the feast, and drools. "You really outdid yourself Ellen." He begins reaching for food, and Ellen smacks his hand. She chastises him. No eating til all are seated and prayer is said. You were not raised in a barn Brian. So act like a proper gentlemen and wait. You don't see the little ones eating yet. So don't set a bad example for them.

[William one eye]

Will, had arrived at the plantation late, he enjoyed the slower pace and quiet atmosphere. He helped himself to a bottle of fine caspian valley wine from the cellarette in the study, before retiring for the evening. He awakes in the moring and hopes to have time to clean up and get a change of clothes.

Excuse me Maryanne, i am looking for a wash room and a fresh pair of clothes.

[Jack Teach]

Jack walks in and realizes that everyone is waiting, presumably for words to be said. Jack waits patiently. Ellen, I have an idea to get information out of the governer, I'll tell you during breakfast. It might need sometime to sink in.
