Davendrall gets a new Captain - Chapter 6

Roleplay from Anneliese

Anneliese yawned and stepped out of the tent.

The camp was unusually silent, especially for a morning like this, when they should be moving out. Through bleary eyes, Anne noticed something disturbing: all her soldiers were gone.

Immediately, she became more alert. She began to pace and circle the camp in an attempt to find out what had happened. Nothing was left in the camp they'd made, except her own tent and a fire that had looked as if it had been recently put out. Andre was still tied to a tree, although the guards that were supposed to have been watching him had left.

There were new footprints in all directions. Most of them looked as if they had gone and turned back around to Eston. "Great. Now I can't move with the rest of the army..." She mumbled, then called out, "Catharina?"

"Over here," came the answering shout.

She found her scribe sitting in between a very large bush and a fir tree. "Cathy... why are you hiding in the bushes?" She had either gotten into her wine again, or else had a very good reason.

The small blonde woman stepped out, brushing leaves off her clothing. "Before your troop deserted, they threatened me and stole all the gold."

"Oh." She blinked, "You're not hurt, are you?"

She scratched the back of her neck, as if something had bitten her while she had been hiding. "No, but I have no interest in being threatened again. Did you forget to pay them?"

"Uhm." She looked somewhat guilty, "Only by a day or two..."

Catharina tilted her head forward so she was looking at her just above glasses, in an expression that looked remarkably like the disappointed face her mother had given her when she was a child.

Anne shuffled her feet nervously, "Okay, so I didn't have enough to pay them, but I didn't think they'd threaten you." She paused. Her scribe still looked understandably angry. "Uhm... Y'know, there's something I forgot to check on. Something important. I should go do that now." The noble woman turned, and ran off in the direction of Davendrall's camp.

Roleplay from Davendrall

Davendrall's camp was remarkably the opposite to Anneliese's. There were troops scurrying around everywhere hurrying to pack everything away

Bubbles came up to Anneliese when she entered the camp

"Can I help you ma'am? I'm acting as Davendrall's secretary today. Yuma woke Davendrall up this morning and he hasn't been seen since." She lowered her voice. "She drank rather a lot of alcohol last night, waking her up wasn't the safest of actions. Lady Davendrall has gone back to sleep now."

Bubbles then Realized Anneliese was obviously here for a reason

"I can take you to her if you like. Her tents this way Ma'am"

Bubbles lead Anneliese to one of the few remaining tents in the camp and lead her in, revealing the sleeping Davendrall who didn't even stir as they entered

Roleplay from Anneliese

"It may be best if you left while I am talking to her," she said, "this may get very violent." Not waiting to see if the messenger would leave, she walked to Davendrall's side, and cleared her throat.

"HELLOOOOO DAVITY!" Anneliese shouted, quite cheerfully, as if she was currently residing in the realm of the Happy Perky Morning People instead of Eston, "I hear you have a bad hangover! Why, I know what'll cure that! WAKING UP AND EMBRACING THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY!" She pulled the covers off of Davendrall, and grinned down at her.

Roleplay from Davendrall

Davendrall lay in her underwear...which today was bright yellow covered in little pictures of cookies.

Davendrall jerked awake suddenly as Anneliese was shouting at her and screamed

"AHHHHHHH!"

...before falling onto the floor. She grabbed a knife from somewhere and swiftly pointed it menacingly and Anneliese's foot. Recognizing the foot Davendrall groaned and rolled over on the floor

Roleplay from Anneliese

Anne started giggling, and could not stop, even when Davendrall pointed the knife at her boots. She picked her up and hugged her, "Awww, yer ta' cutest little Davity ever!" She ruffled Davendrall's hair and gave a cheshire-cat grin. "C'mon Davity, we've got some torturing to do - or you've got to do something with Andre. I can't keep him anymore... my troop's deserted me."

Roleplay from Davendrall

Davendrall looked confused and blushed a little at being hugged and being called cute

"Huh? What? Do what to who now? Euuugh...I need some wine"

Roleplay from Anneliese

Anne laughed at her blushing face, then let go of her. "Of course! The cure for a hangover is always more alcohol! I don't where your wine is, but I assume one of your servants will know..." She leaned out of the tent and shouted, "Hey, could one of you get some of that wine?"

Roleplay from Davendrall

Clearly used to the command, two young male servants came rushing into the tent with several bottles of wine and two glasses, then ran back out again.

"There my special alcohol servants, paid solely for providing for all my alcoholic needs. So...erm...what where you saying"

Davendrall picked up a bottle of wine and poured Anneliese a glass, drinking out of the rest of the bottle herself

Roleplay from Anneliese

Anne laughed, then took a long swig of the wine, almost draining the glass. It had been too long since she'd had something to drink. "That we either need to torture Andre some more today, or failing that, we need somewhere to keep him. My troop deserted me, and I've got to turn around and recruit more, so we need some place to put him. He'll die if we keep 'im tied that tree, and when he dies, the fun ends."

Roleplay from Davendrall

"Ahahaha! Your troops left you" Davendrall pointed and laughed at Anneliese

"Well...I can't think of any more funny ways to torture someone, and i'm feeling in a particularly evil mood today. Once I get started on being cruel, it gets addictive, and my scribe woke me up. So, do you think Bubbles will make a good scribe?"

Davendrall lead Anneliese out of the tent and headed over to where they had left Andre overnight

Roleplay from Anneliese

Anneliese looked briefly embarrassed at being laughed, at but the moment passed. She grinned at the mention of cruelty, "So do I get to break out the knives and the needles and the... the..." She suddenly became very quiet, imagining all the horrible things she could do to Andre.

Roleplay from Davendrall

"Bubbles! Get some men to bring the box of torture equipment into the woods!" Davendrall shouted before entering the woods herself

Davendrall looked amusingly at Andre. He lay against the tree, still tied up. His beard had grown ragged overnight and his underwear was wet and dirty from the rain and from him having no means of getting up to go to the toilet. He had passed out

"So much for your elegant and charming front" Davendrall mused. Then she smacked him round the face to wake him up. She didn't hold back and there was a loud crunch. His lip started bleeding and his eyes flickered open and he tried to groan, but was clearly very thirsty

Roleplay from Anneliese

Anne looked at Davendrall quizzically, "You carry torture equipment around with you?"

For a few moment, she was quiet as she stood staring at the very dirty-looking Andre. "You know, I think you might want to pour some water on him... he doesn't look very clean." She snorted, then aimed a kick to his knee, leaving behind a bruise and getting another groan from Andre. From experience, she knew it was a very painful place to be hit. "Do you regret anything you've done, you stupid bastard? Do you?"

Over the last day and night, she had plenty of time to think of what could've happened if that tree hadn't fallen out him - and she did not like the conclusions she had reached. Would she had been able to fend him off, or to wound him, or would she have...

Anne shuddered. Fear, and then rage filled her. She gave him another kick, this time on the other knee. She leaned in close to him, "You'll regret the day you ever came near me. You'll live - I assume Davendrall could still use you - but I'll make sure you won't ever try something like that again."

Roleplay from Davendrall

Davendrall looked shocked at Anneliese

"Torture equipment is standard kid isn't it? Just like a cage...and an oven to bake cookies"

Davendrall watched Anneliese beating up Andre and grinned. Andre tried to say something, but it couldn't be made out

"Here's your torture equipment Mistress Davendrall." Two troops announced, bringing over a hefty box. They looked at Andre with shock and a little sadness. One shock his head

"The Captain was always gonna get on the wrong side of the wrong girl one of these days" One said as he walked out of the woods

Davendrall opened the box which held a mass amount of different torturing utensils.

"So where do you want to start" Davendrall grinned, picking up two metal clamps

Roleplay from Anneliese

"The Captain was always gonna get on the wrong side of the wrong girl one of these days"

"Interesting. It seems he done this sort of thing before, and perhaps he's always gotten away with it. Not this time." To think, she had almost pitied him for the inept way he had acted. "Despite what he claims, he was never in love me, he just wanted to..." She stopped, silently fuming. She aimed another kick to his knee, then turned to Davendrall and her box of tools.

She blinked at the clamps not sure what they were for. "Do you happen to have any knives? Or perhaps some sewing needles?"

Roleplay from Davendrall

Davendrall picked up two thinner boxes from the torture box and placed them in front of her. She opened them to reveal in one box a range of knives of different sizes, shape and sharpness. In the other was a range of needles with the same variates.

Davendrall put the metal clamps back in the box and took out a metal rod. On the end was backwards writing saying 'Davendrall-waz-here'.

"Teddy!" Davendrall shouted, and her esquire ran into the woods.

"Get a fire going. You'll need to watch this if you want to be like me when you grow up"

Teddy looked at the box, then at Andre, then at Anneliese and Davendrall. He looked genuinely horrified. He got a fire going and ran off
