WEEK 2 - CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

[maladied]

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.

[The maid speaks up;]

Sorry, Lady Henrietta is on strict orders from the doctor to be exposed to as few people as possible. Only myself and Lord van Zieks are allowed to see her at the moment.

[Octavia sighs.]

A simple no would have sufficed, Eliza. They don't need to know all the details. It's true, though. When she's having a bad spell they don't even allow me in to see her! Can you imagine? If Gustav wasn't my only child I wouldn't allow such restrictions in my own home.

I see... how unfortunate. Please send her our best wishes that her health may improve soon, and let us hope that she will be able to attend the next party for herself.

[Hmm.]

[rosietaintedglass]

Yes, and perhaps Lord van Zieks and those of the family joining the hunt will bring back some good stories and trinkets to share with her. My understanding is that there is some impressive quarry to be had.
