"Either your absolutely mad, here to claim Vorpal, or a bit of both. Kind of strange to show up in the halls of the only person to have the key to the sword"
English
-
"Key to the sword? You truly love riddles I take it?"
-
"Words are weapons if you known how to use them. I am willing to find it for you if you are willing to help me."
-
"..." [b]Royal looked up, thinking it over [/b] "I am not a man. And am certainly not a fan. Why should I tie this knot, with some that is naught, more then a funny guy?"
-
"Well would you rather find a way out only to end up getting sent right back again? Besides I'm not asking for much. Only a way out of this Wonderland from time to time. It gets boring seeing the same faces and them knowing all your tricks."
-
"Well, if we may enter randomly. Then I'm sure you can set it so you can leave Regularly."
-
He makes he way his way to the door out to the hallway. He turns and waves for everyone to come. "Well there is always bringing back the looking glass. Besides you need a way back yourself right? It's a win win"
-
"Suppose you do this. What are your intentions in our world? [b]Royal followed Chesh [/b]
-
"Well, is it strange to want to be a stranger? A wonder to want to wander? Apart from you and her I know this place down the the last mad man" Ash following behind puzzles at Chesh's desire. "[u]you... just want to not know where you are? a strange request[/u]"
-
"Oh no. That is not is request. Is request is much simpler. He just wishes to be... Stranger. One who no one knows."
-
"Correct. Before this I would wander aimlessly stumbling into all sorts of odd people and creatures. Eventually it seems I ended up meeting everyone and now there's nowhere I can really go without already being well known"
-
"Being the King of Hearts would make that difficult, no?"
-
"You wouldn't believe the amount of times I snuck out when the guards weren't looking. I've probably driven them madder than this place already is" The thought brought a smile on his face at the expense of his own soldiers. While he shouldn't find it amusing he did. For him the more they tried to keep him from wandering off the more it made him want to try.
-
"Why would you need to escape from your own guard?"
-
"Well usually I have to look over requests, decrees and tons of paperwork. Sometimes I get a bit bored and decide I want to just ignore it and wander for a bit. A bit turns to hours and hours turn to days. Suddenly there are hundreds of requests and a group of unruly folks at the gates demanding to see me. I'm not really king material but I'm not as crazy as the queen before."
-
"Better then the old." [b]Royal suddenly stopped, gazing an armor set on a stand in the hallway [/b]
-
Chesh notices him looking at the armor. "Well if you like the armor, you'll love the train" Outside in the distance what may as well have been a castle on wheels was sitting on a track. It could be seen being worked on by several engineers and blacksmiths running around like ants working on the hulk of a machine. "It should be ready by tomorrow so feel free to stay the night. It should only take two minutes or by morning. Just remember, if you want to get back in time, it only took two minutes" For once he actually looked serious about something.
-
"Wait how do you mean? We'll only be gone two minutes?"
-
"Well, can you convince yourself that a few days only took two minutes to go through?"
-
"Perhaps." [b]Royal stepped back, looking up [/b] "In a world like this?"
-
"A world more affected by delusions than anything. Anyways the armor is known as the Ace of Spades. As light as leather but more protective than most armors. It was meant for me but they never could get the hands right. Feel free to try it on. I don't really like wearing armor anyways." He then steps out leaving the duo to wander for themselves. "[u]days taking minutes, a strange king, a castle on a train? Deffinitely one of my more unusual visits to say the least[/u]"

[b]His back was that of a swimmers well buil. he turned back to Ash, holding out the chest piece to the Ace of Spades armour[/b]

Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 1/28/2017 7:03:50 PM"Uhh, I can try" She kneels over working on tieing the straps correctly. Ash seemed to be fumbling a little bit though she at least managed to tie the straps correctly. "Is it tight enough? Does it need to be loosened?" The Strange king seemed to be fairly accurate of the description. While it was surely thick and fairly sturdy it didn't feel like a metal armor. Something about it seemed light.
-
"No, no that's fine thank you." [b]He paced back and forth for a moment. [/b] "Hm. How odd." [b]He looked around for any weapons on the walls, as would be common in a castle [/b]
-
A couple Swords and Spears were being displayed on the walls next to a couple trophy heads of creatures that may have been hunted within the land. "What do you have in mind? Do you, want one of them?"
-
"I have an idea... If we can convince Anthony that the body is in Wonderland. He might leave us alone. But I don't want to leave these people to potentially die."
