OOC Nick, help BC. Show him what is it like to train with a true master of the hunting monsters.

Bic *Amelia nods wearily*

Amee: This is complicated. Just...I don't know...Do something the old Yarrick would...Yell at me for something, make it believable...

*Knight nods and puts on a piraty eye-patch*

Not sure why you have this here...But okay...

OOC I'm pretty sure that's Guild Style Dual Blades? Nick, have at it. That's your forte.

*maria* ummmm... Not sure...

*comes back in rather elegant black dress with platinum and silver details and a matching fur coat*

I assume ladies dressed up for a joust... And I already have weapons and body armour under this *smiles*
Can you help get the tiara straight?


...

*space wolves patrol past them on the orbital ring looking distrusting of inquisition *
*stop*
Agh... You here to see the wolf king?

*Knight coughs*

Blimey...You look amazing...And yes, the women at jousts do indeed dress up.

*Walks up to Maria and slightly adjusts tiara*

*Gives her a quick peck on the lips*

Seriously, you look amazing.

[Secretly squeezes Amelia's hand] [Tosses kit bag to her] Stay behind me at all times, and out of my eyeline. If it helps, just temember to look at my back pockets. [Poker face]
[Strides across to local shuttle bay, and is stopped by security]

What do you mean no weapons beyond this point? I'm a commissar! Get on you. [Snaps]
[Guard looks nervous]: All weapons headed to Terra must be approved or disabled, sir. There are some very important guests at the moment.
[Glares at guard] I am Commissar fething Yarrick, I don't need approval!
[Sees ogryns nearby] [Grits teeth] [Hands over stormbolter]
[Guard avoids looking at Yarrick] And the klaw sir.
[Growls] That's my arm you're talking about...

[After ten minutes, has an approved bolt pistol, and the power klaw is secured shut with several large blue elastic bands] [Orange sponge caps have been added to the sharp edges]
[Quietly seething]

*Leo sees Maria and Boro getting ready*

Leo: Hey where are you two headed?

*Amelia nods*

Amee: Yes Commissar Yarrick...

*Hands over snub pistol and combat knife*

*Gets led away to be patted down*

*Shudders as the guard gets extra touchy*

*Knight looks at Leonie*

To a joust. you want to come?

*Maria smiles and cursteys*

Why thankyou sir knight .
*smiling* Il be waiting for you to get armour on.

*walks out all dressed up and climbs side saddle on to a white horse held by one of her cousins who also brought over a larger dark brown stallion all saddled up*



....
..

*in next line a party of senior Martian magi breeze through security bearing the coat of arms of marlas family and escorted by newly equiped verdai tech skitari and keep weapons*
Ooc because...... Imperium is about 20 tier system.

*Leo shrugs and gets off couch*

Leo: As long as I get to participate.

*Starts walking toward Maria and Boro*

*Gets into armour and steps out of Repressor*

Hey Maria, do you mind if Leonie comes along?

*smiles down for once from horse*
Not at all. Your welcome..*combat boots show under dress*.
Youl only get me in heals once.. And youl have to marry me to do it.....

Leo: How far away is it?

*Starts stretching legs*

Leo: Within running distance?

I dearly hope that isn't a hint...

*Saddles the brown horse and jumps on*

Leonie, you want to walk, or share a horse with one of us? Or should Maria and me share a horse? I say the latter.

*captain Markus brings over a third larger horse*

We have reservers boronir.
*maria* nope... No hint.. Just explaining the boots...

Oh thank god...There was no way I'm ready for that yet...

*Nods at Markus*

Thank you, lad.

Leo: So I won't be running?

*Shrugs*

Leo: If its below 5km I can run it.

*captain markus*
Aye, saddled up... Easy temprament. She,s a easy going one.

Yours, he,s more, well, forceful, br solid with that one.

Maria, well hers is obvious... She,s a natural with her. And if I may say do, you might have a few jealous nobles...

*maria*
Oh I'm not rushing.. Anyway I can,y get married, I need a engagement ring first...

Leo: Lets ride!

*Saddles up*

*Furrows eyebrows at Maria*

Is that a hint?! God be merciful on my soul...

*Shakes head and pats horse*

Aye, I can handle the nobles. They can't be jealous without genitals, now can they? *Idly pats sword hilt* And yes Leonie, It's more than 5 kilometres. Thus why we're taking horses.

*Amelia returns and walks through the gate*

*Pale from the extra thorough pat down*

*Maria smiling* no just a fact.

*leads off out avatar room down a road with several experimental drone built homes*

*several nearby woodsmen become very quiet as she passes*
*to knight*
Guess royalty holds alot of sway on feudal worlds.

*Nods*

Aye it does...I'm surprised they're not bowing.

*Rides closer to Maria*

You sure it isn't a hint? I mean...It sounded like a hint...Please tell me if it's a hint...

*looks reassuring *

Il tell you if its a hint, and it will be ... Look Il probably just say.
*smiles and waves to several knights by road who all kneel*

Yep... You where right. There more respectful..
*carries on past various farms and small villages by aide of road*
How you finding riding Leo?

I'm confused...And I'm not sure if it's for better, or for worse...

*Shakes head and continues riding*

Leo: It's alright. Tho I much prefer my feet own on the ground.

*Pats the horse*

Leo: How much longer till we get there?

By the amount of people coming down this road, not long.

*Slows horse down slightly to be on par with Leonie*

Look, I'm sorry for what I said, but I do not appreciate you insulting myself and my Order like that.

Leo: Honestly I don't really care about what you said. Nothing is going to change the fact that I think what you did was stupid.

*Sighs*

Leo: But if it's all the same I'm also sorry.

Fair enough. Thank you.

*Increases speed of horse until it's beside Maria*

*swiftly making way though town and coming across growing number of dressed up and mounted people*

Looks like we are near.
*Several ladies passing rapidly move past*
*Giggles* oh, they thought they could out dress me..

So where do we park the horses?

We tether the horses to those poles over there. *Points and dismounts* I will lead. I have been to plenty of these jousts.

*Leads the horse to the pole and ties it's reins around it*

There, now entry should be over...There... *Points `to a growing number of people*

*maria*
I trust you. *Dismounts and ties up horse*
Sure no one will try to steal them?

*Feeds her horse a apple from the Small saddle bag stroking its mane*

Leo: So how do we enter into the competition?

*Jumps off horse and ties horse to a pole*
