Active [Ryke - Caelia Barony] To be a Baroness' Useful Asset

Femboy

Chaos Incarnate
Roleplay Type(s)
  1. Group
  2. Nation Building
  3. Off-site
This RP is part of Isekai Hell (link to join here), and takes place in the town of Stonewall within the Caelia Barony. This is a shorter RP with the goal of obtaining an asset (that'll be worked out within the RP itself) and mostly focused on casual/slice of life interaction rather than having any mechanics. Posting rounds will probably be every 3-4 days as usual, though can probably work to make it longer/shorter (if people can post faster than the rounds, and assuming I end up keeping up with posting times)

(Probably not much for goals since there won't be much else within the RP)
Cast & Goals
Regula Caelia ( Elvario Elvario ): Obtain an asset to aid towards working on a Complex Asset.
Alister Marrok ( Megilagor Megilagor ): Assist Regula with her goal.
Teuihua ( TheTimePiece TheTimePiece ): Assist Regula with her goal.

The town of Stonewall, a town comfortably nestled in the territory of the Caelia Barony. Miyuki, a kitsune brought to the town as a place of stay due to the strange adventures that a certain lizard partook upon, had found herself toiling around rather emptyhandedly as she internally contemplated what to do with her time. Being held up somewhere far across the geographical map, she had very little to pretty much no place or purpose in the world whatsoever, but had found herself finding a comfortable and inviting stay at a Baroness' Keep in the meanwhile.

She wanted to have some ideas to help, she was pretty much living rent-free after all. The company, a place to rest, safety, food, amenities, the whole package and way more than she'd expect for the sole accomplishment of existing was right at her fingertips, and all she need likely do is ask... and probably not even a 'please' at that. It was beneficial and great, but... made one feel a little bit selfish, undeserving, whilst the likely deserving person who brought one to Stonewall in the first place had yet again ran off to do something she could only silently question and wonder what it was or what for.

So, in her awkward alone time, especially since even her two sisters had better to do than sit around all day doing nothing, Miyuki tried to get to work on some sort of plan or idea. Maybe a hobby or little bit of work to pass her time and better herself, maybe even work on her name a little, but also to try and figure something out to repay the Baroness for her kindness. It maybe felt like Regula probably didn't expect any repayment at all, but it was such kind of thing that was quietly eating away at her in the form of guilt.

It took her a while to come up with a few good ideas, and what to say about them, especially with some events to use as proof for them being good ideas... though much to her disappointment, a little something like this had inconveniently cropped up around the time she was ready, and she found herself putting it on hold. She could've simply waited for the Baroness to return, though... Miyuki only felt she was setting herself up for failure to try and put such things on her the moment she returned from whatever important business she got back from. So, she put it on hold. And then the next day came... and she didn't do it. Pressure got to her, and she became too nervous to try. And so, another day passed, and she decided it might as well be time to attempt to try before her hesitant nervousness kept her from doing it to begin with.

The light-purple kitsune had been nervously hanging around the front doors of the keep for around half an hour, double-checking and triple-checking and quadruple-checking through some given notes and pages for what was essentially a put together presentation of her ideas. She was hoping to be able to figure out or do something for Regula that would make her a beneficial help so she'd feel a little less like a parasitic leech. Fidgeting with her hands, she had been questioning whether to go seek out the Baroness herself or to wait for her, but couldn't come to a direct idea as she did her best to just ask guards and such if they could let Regula know if they saw her, that she wanted to talk with her if she was free... though, she had ended up asking also if they could keep her anonymous, feeling like she didn't want to affect the Baroness before she'd even arrive. Miyuki would've felt even worse if Regula thought it was some sort of meaningless little need beforehand. Though, Regula may also end up finding some information mixed in with the news that a merchant was wanting to show up today to discuss some things and potentially set up business, which would make said anonymity a lot more obscured.

"Oh... maybe this might just embarrass myself even more, she has everything she always does handled, she doesn't need my help... " Miyuki muttered under her breath, waiting outside the keep as she leaned back on a wall. With her, the things she needed to do her little show-and-tell of sorts. Though for the moment, whilst she waited, she was rather talking herself down more than anything. But for now, she was keeping huddled to herself hoping that Regula would actually show up in the first place. Considering recent things, and that it felt like they always had stuff to do, she wasn't sure if she'd just be passed off as some 'random thing' whilst she'd have better to do.​

With Yemaya back in order. At least, mostly so, Regula had been able to relax a bit for a while. Well, not really. It turned out the usual business had caught up the moment she returned. Even more so with administrative back-fire from letting in loads of new people into Yemaya. Who'd have guessed. She sighed. To make matters worse, someone had been talking about someone wanted to see her... something merchant? She wasn't clear on what it was, or why it was, as even the guards informing her seemed confused on the matter.

Eventually, she allowed curiosity to get the better of her. Asking her administrators to continue without her for a bit, she'd stretch her legs (and wings) as she headed outside of the cramped and dusty study room. She almost immediately spotted Miyuki. She was tough to miss, after all. “Good... morning? Or is it afternoon already?” She wasn't sure and the sun wasn't really giving it away either at the moment.

“How've you been?” She'd ask, as she looked around. “Oddly enough, I heard something about a merchant, or someone, wanting to meet with me. I've half a mind to have them arrested for how shady it is to try summon a baroness out of her keep without giving your name or reason. That sounds like what you'd do if you'd try get me assassinated, don't you think?” She sighed. “I don't suppose you spotted anyone? My guards seemed hesitant to even describe whom was waiting for me, for some odd reason.”
 


Alister Marrok

Alister was just returning from The Keg a local Stonewall tavern, as his lunch there ended. Along with some sweet talk with Inola, one of the workers there, he liked her but did not want to take it too fast as he knew he sometimes was too overbearing with his approaches to women in the past. It was a lovely sunny day, though it was around noon-ish so the sun held itself quite high up. As he approached the keep he saw both Miyuki a guest of the Baroness as well as the Baroness Regula Caelia herself.
As he grew near he bowed deeply to the two of them while saying his greetings.
"This humble Alister greets you my Baroness Caelia, as well as you lady Miyuki. "

Upon hearing Regulas question about spotting anyone nearby he didn't exactly see anyone, sure some people walking around but they had places to be and did not wait there, so just to be sure he took a few good sniffs to try and ascertain his decision with the smells.
"I didn't see anyone new here when I was coming back here. And what the scents are telling me is that either that someone doesn't have a scent, or it was Miyuki here or someone with a similar scent like her sisters."
He said as he raised up from his greeting bow, pointing with his open hand at Miyuki, though he did not want to put her in the spotlight per se, but if not her, her family then it could only be someone scentless. But he preferred to first look at the closest one there for truth.
 
Teuihua

At this point Teuihua had probably not all that long ago had likely been finishing up patrol rounds for the morning in the Barony near wherever Regula had been. He tended to change his pattern up so it wasn't predictable, even if someone decided to try to path out a pattern of his operations, Teuihua as a [Sentry] was far too aware of the possible that bad actors posed as threats.

Of course he had reconvened not long after this activity, It was only logical for him to come with Regula, as if she had noticed the suspicious nature of this request, then Teuihua definitely had and wasn't going to take any chances, as powerful as Regula was. Plus he had been acting as a stand in body guard for quite some time at this point. Having been with her all over the place, and making sure that she and other important people were safe, it was routine at this point.

He'd keep watch with his 360 Degree Vision, and upon seeing Miyuki, he gave her a wave with the more flexible agile arm, pretty much his dedicated waving arm at this point. Upon seeing Alister once again, since he'd been there when Teuihua had last been opened up, Teuihua gave a wave to Aliste as well.

The Guardian Golem didn't have all that much to say other than giving a "Greetings." directed at both, while he stood near Regula and continued to be on guard for anything unusual and or threatening. These types of strange meetings put him on higher edge even more than usual.

The kitsune waited around the... questionably unnoticeable time of day, seeing as the sun appeared to be hiding elsewhere in the clouds or something. Though, when Regula showed up, she was a little surprised to see she had made an appearance at all. Especially with her reasonable reasoning for not trusting such a thing, of which Miyuki immediately fell awkward that she'd attempt to set up an anonymous invitation in such a way.
"Eheheh~, I'm not sure what time of day it is, and I guess that does sound really shady... which... wasn't meant to be the intention at all... " she'd answer with a nervous laugh, trailing off a tiny bit as she eyed elsewhere and scratched the back of her head. Feeling like it had already been a hit and miss from minute one, she'd find them very quickly joined by the presence of Teuihua and Alister. She could recall finding Teuihua a capable and trustable person who appeared to be always around the barony, her mind growing a little bit foggy on experiences around Alister though only supposing he had to be in hand with the Baroness. That winged woman did have a lot of people working to support her, it was tricky to exactly remember them all.

"Ah, hello Mister Teuihua, hopefully this is not distracting of your time. I-I was just... trying to ask for Regula's attention, if she wasn't too busy, because I had an idea on something I wanted to try show her. Though, not if it's interrupting anything way more important, I'd understand... " she'd quietly mention, turning her attention to Alister and giving him a gentle smile.

"And hello to you too, t-though I don't think we've had a very good chance to be introduced as far as I can recall... though my memory might be a little foggy, i-if I can maybe ask for your name? Just Miyuki is fine, I'm no noble lady or anything like Regu- well, Lady Caelia" the kitsune would answer, correcting herself on referring to the baroness with a more professional title instead of first-name basis.

Though back to the important matter at hand, she'd pick up some things she had with her and clutch them in her arms or conveniently dropped within her tails like a portable method of transport and [Concealment].
"I didn't want to bother any of you but um... I was feeling a little bit, like I wasn't doing anything. And maybe... I had a few things I wanted to have a little meeting and propose them for your input, t-though maybe having the input of others would also help that too" she answered, whilst it would always be Regula's final call, the kitsune was a little hesitant over the matter of bias... she seemed to have a whole task force full of similar people, that it felt like her mind was hinting her at something related to it. Otherwise, she gestured to the keep.

"Uhm, w-well, I think there's a spare dining room or something else that'd serve as a place to sit whilst I do so... if you're free to attend that is. I don't know anything about a merchant, I... didn't ask them to say anything like that, I just didn't want you to think anything like I was distracting you if they knew I was asking for you. T-then again, I also didn't think that they'd all listen to me to not tell you of all people" she uttered quietly, poking her fingers together as she bit her lower lip. Otherwise looking to the three, she hadn't prepared to present for a group larger than one but it'd do. Hopefully her ideas wouldn't be torn into or criticised so viciously by this miniature council, especially since such planning and business was not her specialty in the slightest.

"So, if you or... w-well, any of you, are free, maybe you'd want to come and listen to maybe some ideas I have that could maybe help the barony and that maybe I could help with those in away? S-since it often feels like I'm sitting around not doing much but leeching off of the kindness of the Baroness by being here... ".​

“Good morning... or afternoon! How have you been?” She'd greet Alister with a smile. She still wasn't sure which one it was. Odd how time didn't seem to exist yet. At least it (probably) wasn't evening or night. She'd just nod upon his comment that he hadn't seen anyone nearby. It was odd, but not impossible. A lot of people passed by here, so perhaps the scents or sights had just gone unnoticed.

“Hello again. How was your patrol? Anything unusual, or are things as calm as normal?” She'd greet Teuihua.

Upon Miyuki confirming it was her, she was surprised. “Yeah, that it does. Although I guess that explains why the guards listened. They might've thought it to be some surprise or something?” That was her only logical explanation.

At first, Regula felt like simply saying 'but that's alright', yet it seemed the desire to help out was strong enough for Miyuki and she didn't wish to disappoint her. “Well, you certainly have me curious. I'd love to hear what ideas you have.”

She'd nod. “I'm free to attend, though I suggest we stick to the meeting room. Otherwise I'd be a hassle for Teuihua to fit.” Assuming Miyuki didn't know where said room was yet, Regula would take the lead. It seemed like Miyuki was wondering about something Regula had wondered about as well. “They must've thought it was some sort of surprise, otherwise I wouldn't understand them either.” She shared her earlier reasoning.

Sighing upon hearing the last, bit, she would at least counter that point. “I enjoy your company, so that's already a way to repay me in one way or another. Yet I'm equally eager to hear what other things you have in mind, as it's clear you wish to do more.”

"That might be true Miyuki miss, though I know of you from what people described you. But yes this might be our first formal meeting rather than in passing. The name's Alister Marrok, as you can probably guess I am in Lady Caelia's employ, though my exact role escapes even me as sometimes I am but a butler at other times I handle odd jobs." Alister greets Miyuki with a slight bow and a more formal greeting by exclaiming his name and all that.

"Any idea could be a good idea with some refining. That's why I am assuming you tried reaching out to Lady Caelia, to discuss your idea. And personally I'm all ears to hear it out."
Alister exclaims with a small smile on his face as he looks between the people gathered here but especially at Miyuki, proud of her that she decided to do more than she already did despite the fact she did not know how much she was already doing.

"I have to double down on Lady Caelia's words. While you might feel like this just being by her side was already enough, as you can clearly tell sometimes our lady over here puts too big of a burden upon herself and forgets to take care of herself. That is why just you being by her side was already enough, as she knew she could rely on you even if it was just to get her mind out of all the work she has." Alister sighed and swung his head from side to side, not really in disappointment but the fact that Miyuki had so little self-esteem that she might not even take Regula's words into her mind without someone else to keep on reminding her of that fact.

"I am willing to lend an ear and word if need be. All of you can move to the meeting room I will join you shortly with some tea and snacks it shouldn't take too long."
Alister said looking at all of them but mainly at Regula to get her confirmation whatever tea and snacks are to be prepared or not for this meeting. If she agreed to it or did not disapprove Alister would go out to make some tea and grab some quick snacks before going to the meeting room.
 
Teuihua

"There is no need of concern there Miyuki, my time is not interrupted, I am here in part in service of Lady Caelia after all." He responded with a warm enough tone.

He'd then give a little bow Regula's way. "Your consideration is much appreciated, while I can anticipate you've made up your mind in this kindness, I would still like to articulate that you shouldn't need to feel any pressure to adjust the meeting space on my behalf, but I suppose if my feedback is desired in addition as it sounds has been suggested then perhaps it's just as well I come along to the meeting room then."

Of course Teuihua would much rather be included but given his role and function in his past life and some of the work he did here, he fully understood if he were to just be tasked with standing guard outside of the space or something of the like.

At the question regarding the patrol, Teuihua responded honestly, "I have not witnessed anything out of the ordinary lately including on my most recent patrols, I've been particularly mindful of high interest areas where criminal activity is more likely and also have not witnessed anything particularly suspicious or out of the ordinary."

"If this changes on subsequent patrols, of course I'll alert the appropriate channels immediately."
He gave a nod. He might have offered to assist Alister with getting things but he figured staying with Regula to ensure nothing bad happened was still probably the correct move here. For now Teuihua stood nearby on alert, ready to move onto the next space.

"With all of this said, I would be more than happy to hear these ideas out as well." He added positively.

Miyuki scratched her cheek with a small, awkward blush upon Alister's introduction, wondering if she was really that obviously noticeable only after being around for not that long. Then again, it wasn't like her colors or floofiness exactly camoflagued with the environment. Even though how everything was professionally handled in work relating to the Baroness, it was often still a bit intimidating to be so formally acknowledged in a place she didn't have much to do with. It would be like staying in a hotel where you were treated like royalty. Though, she gave him a small nod of her head and tried to avoid eye contact out of a little embarrasment and intimidation.
"Ah, h-hi there, it's nice to meet you too Mister Marrok. Hopefully you'll find any ideas I have workable for being useful, it's nice to hear that Lady Caelia can find such good people to help her" she mentioned, hesitating a little over the compliment of being able to keep the Baroness at peace after such stressful work.
"O-oh, I suppose, though I'm sure that there's a lot of you like you both who bring her peace of mind through it all... n-not that I'm trying to voice her opinion or anything, I mean I'm sure she knows best and I'm just... saying things" she stuttered softly, not wanting to suddenly speak on behalf of someone especially since they were already present. Having done a small nervous glance to Regula, though her attention soon turned to the large construct among them.

Despite Teuihua's kindness in trying to settle her nerves, Miyuki still felt like keeping someone so integral in the role of security away from their job felt like a terribly bad thing to do. Although if he felt it wouldn't do any harm, maybe it'd be fine for a few minutes or so of the day, however long it would take.
"Okay, as long as there's not something else that needs guard or such... though I guess you do also protect Lady Caelia a lot too... not to mention with how suspicious this all sounded in the first place" Miyuki answered, trailing off and mumbling a little bit, considering if it had been a little bit of her way of inviting the Baroness that he'd also show. Then again, she had also been already plentifully introduced to Teuihua since he had been around a lot, he had been there both times on Gala'Kraoth... that and, she had sat through plentiful ramblings of Gunhild explaining things, and her explanations of the 'Great Metalmans'.
"It's nice that you're offering to also come along to hear, thank you" the kitsune briefly added.

Miyuki hesitated a little, thinking that Regula's point made a bit of sense.
"A surprise, I guess that makes sense... hopefully you uhm, aren't someone who doesn't like surprises, I guess. Maybe for now and the future, just so I don't accidentally surprise you when you're unwanting" Miyuki mentioned, fidgeting a little as she perked up once Regula offered her time to hear her out. She initially only prepared that she might possibly get one person, and now she had three, which was... honestly stacking up a bit of pressure and expectation, but otherwise she just tried to keep as calm as she could. Nodding over using the meeting room instead, she'd agree in answer.
"We can do it there, I'd feel bad to make it uncomfortable for Teuihua if he's choosing to come too" she spoke, almost ready to go yet feeling a blush on her face over Regula's insistence that her company was pleasant enough repayment. Even though she had just heard it from Alister before, hearing it from the woman in charge herself was still different.
"Ahahah~, uhm, y-yeah, I guess so... but a-anyway, we should get a start on heading to the meeting room. So we're not using up unnecessary time..." Miyuki would awkwardly laugh as she'd turn her gaze away, trying to pass it off and move on as to not be too distracted by praise whilst she hadn't even done anything she was planning to do.

Only somewhat leading the way, since Regula's input would probably be needed to actually help guide the kitsune to where the meeting room was, she'd start putting down the things she needed.
"O-okay, um, you can all get seated and comfortable and... I'll be... ready... in... just... any moment... " Miyuki smiled and insisted, clearly having a little bit of struggle. She looked to her tails, aggressively shaking them up and down as [Concealed] things necessary shook and fell out like a comedic pocket dimension. Propping up her flipchart and finding the correct rolled-up presentation sheets, she did her best to set them up.
"I'll uh, I promise I'll clean this up-" Miyuki quietly muttered in unprofessional stress as her sight jumped between the other three, and the other leftovers of notes, writing materials and such that had scattered out of the Floof-Dimension hidden in her tails. But eventually having it ready, she'd gently clasp her hands together.

"Okay, um... thank you all for coming, I... didn't know if I'd be doing this at all, but I've come up with some ideas that I think could help the Barony, and I'd be glad to hear your inputs and, um, if any of you think they're actually good ideas... " Miyuki started with a soft smile, hoping everyone had the chance to get comfortable as she gently wagged her tails, being a little pleased she had managed to get this far.​
