WEEK 2 - CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

Let's retire in the countryside
Just as you wish it


Welcome to Hillbury
You come to in an intricately decorated dressing room. For those familiar with it, the style seems to be that of a Victorian manor house, and to those that aren't, even you can tell this is a stately room fit for the elite. In fact, you too, are decorated to match, fully dressed in luxurious suits or dresses, elegant and perfectly tailored, but still somewhat breezy and lightweight for the time period and class it belongs to. Looking outside, you get a view of a rolling and bright countryside. In the far distance, fields of crops and grazing cows can be barely spotted, but all of the nearby landmarks are elegant manors presumably similar to the one you stand in.

[ Nothing like some fusing carriages to remind you, yet again, that you are not in control and even the things that feel immutable are nothing but illusions. Which is fine! It's all fine! At least this is a distraction from the misery this week has been. Sorry to everyone who has basically not seen McGillis this week before, but yay, he's here now!

He turns to the group from the 'different' carriage. ]


I assume you were also greeted as though you were nobility from this place?

[She nods.]

They're acting like we're supposed to be here.

[Hello, fellow Tall man.]

Verily. We are to attend a gathering comprised of other noble houses.

Did you get anything about who this "van Zieks" is supposed to be?

The footman spoke highly of the family, but I know little beyond that.

From what I was told, we have been invited to be introduced to this Lord van Zieks and his inner circle. But it is not only us who are to be introduced on this day-- there is another family as well.

Hmm. Then we must needs act with the grace expected of such a generous invitation.

Indeed. It would seem this is an event of great importance.

Guests of honor, if what I was told is to be believed.

[He ain't gonna question it.]
