Skinny Dipping [Closed RP with Dark Flame Master]

[Zaffre]

It's finally here. The Summer Festival. The best time of year for the town of ibaydian where the sea is clear, the weather is hot, and the people are... nude?

Belle strolls down the boardwalk when she notices a man wearing a loincloth, sandals, and a sword harassing some locals. Upon closer inspection, she notices the man to resemble the one mentioned on the board just outside of town, with a reward of 600g for taking care of him. 

Belle looks upon the situation carefully before she approaches the man cautiously...

[Lore Master Landen]

"Aww Man I cant wait to get me some women today! Dad always said the best way to get anywhere or anyone is to show them the goods and God do I have the goods." Mandek said watching his loincloth blow in the wind, revealing things that didn't exactly need to be revealed. As he looked around, he noticed everyone was watching him again and he thought to himself how he must be impressing everyone. He wished his family was able to see him now, grown up and ready to take on the world. This thought stopped when a green haired woman walked up to him...

[Zaffre]

Belle had the unfortunate timing to glance down when a breeze passed by the pair, viewing things not meant to be viewed, and quickly looking away and focusing on the individuals face, while keeping a careful distance.

"Excuse me, sir?" Belle stood a distance away, giving her a chance to react should he try anything. "I, umm... I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the premises and make yourself decent," she motioned to his loincloth, "or I will have to remove you by force." she warned man, keeping her hand on her rapier as she talked.

[Julius Cabell]

"Remove me by force, you say." Mandek said with a grin" I'll give you a something to 'Remove by force'". Mandek quickly drew his blade ready to fight. He thought this girl might have been into some hardcore fetishes but knew something might be off. He watched her hands shake a little and could tell that she was frightened but wanted to fight at the same time. Mandek couldn't figure it out but maybe if he'd beat her, she might give him a little sugar seeing that she wants to fight. He'd scratch her back and she'd scratch his. Mandek began running for an attack on Belle.

[Julius Cabell]

*Jumps in front of Belle and parries the attack easily*




"Can't let you do that, Mandek" Julius said with a smirk. "Hurting a poor girl for whatever reason. I can see why they have a bounty on your head. You really are harassing people with your public indecency and not only that but your also going to assault a travelling woman as well. Looks like im going to have to stop you here." Julius slowly walked towards Mandek who started to back up with fear in his eyes. After a few steps, Mandek fell to the ground and stared with a fear strong enough to pierce armor. Then suddenly a strong gust of wind knocked his loincloth up and Julius was temporarily blinded from the sight...

[Zaffre]

Belle reached for her rapier, but found it unnecessary when another man jumped in the path of Mandek's blade, easily parrying it. She silently thanked her savior as she saw him approach the fallen man.

She followed behind her savior with her Rapier drawn, no longer shaking. Before she could go to thank him, she saw him cover his face as he had been blinded by something that she hadn't seen.

[Julius Cabell]

"Oh thank you god!" Mandek thought to himself. He didn't understand what the man said about a bounty but he guessed that's why the girl was there as well. Mandek quickly got up and ran towards the ocean, thinking they wouldn't fight him in the water seeing that they had their armor and weapons on them. As he rushed through the hot, coarse sand, Mandek tripped and got sand all over himself especially on his loincloth. He got back up, still sandy, and ran into the ocean. He quickly cleaned the sand off his loincloth and himself and then turned around watching his pursuers.

[Zaffre]

As Mandek stood, Belle walked out behind her savior as he ran away. "Hey! Get back here!" she called as she chased him. He soon reached the water and was about to enter when she remembered her weapons and clothing. Her face reddened as the thought of her next course of action went through her mind. Shaking her head clear of the though, She quickly denounced that idea and began looking around for something else to get to Mandek.

[Julius Cabell]

"Oh this guy just wants to make it a challenge doesn't he." Julius said while contemplating what to do. He decided to take off his armor, shirt, and his sword, leaving them with Belle while he ran through the sand. He was going to drag Mandek right out of the water and just like that, he did. He grabbed Mandek by his shoulder and threw him right onto shore, running right after him. Once ashore, he pinned Mandek down so he couldn't run anymore. He motioned over to Belle who was still off in the distance where they originally were. She grabbed Julius' belongings and proceded to join up with him.

[Zaffre]

Belle jumped slightly as the man who saved her shoved his armor, shirt, and sword into her chest. Looking down at the items and back at the man who had a perfectly toned pecs and... watched as he ran after Mandek into the water. Holding onto his equipment, she watched the scene unfold as the man tackled Mandek in the shallow water and, after a short struggle, drag him ashore. After a moment of pinning him down, the man motioned to Belle and she quickly closed the distance between the two.

She held his sword in her hand as she walked over, prepared to hand it to him if he requested it. "Now what?" she asked.

[Julius Cabell]

"Now we stop the this town's menace from causing any more trouble and collect our loot." Julius said while staring right into Mandek's beady little fearful eyes. "Your gonna stop with your indecency right because it'd be a problem if I had to do this again now wouldn't it. You shouldn't be harassing the people with your lewd outfit and getting ready to beat a woman up isn't the smartest thing to do around here seeing that you already have a bounty on your head incase you forgot. I am feeling rather generous though after that adrenaline rush so i'm going to make you an offer..."

[Zaffre]

Belle watched as the man stared into Mandek's soul. She watched as the man threatened Mandek and tried to offer him a deal, but before he could Belle cut in, "Shouldn't we just take him to the authorities to collect the bounty that's on him?" she asked, "He assaulted me, and I would like him to turned in for his actions."

[Julius Cabell]

"You know what, your right. He did assault you and I can't let that go. Maybe next time you go out in clothes and stop harassing people and you just may be accepted and liked by people."  Julius said putting his equipment back on. They quickly got up and grabbed Mandek. They brought him  to the local law building that was actually beachfront so it didn't take too loon. Once inside they handed over Mandek and claimed their rightful money. Julius counted his coins before leaving being almost completely mesmerized. Julius always did love money. Its one of the main reason as too why he became a sell sword in the first place.

[Zaffre]

After turning in Mandek, Belle received her reward, counting the coins before she left the shop, but she had forgotten something. She looked out the front door to thank the man who helped her, but found no sign of him. He had already left to go spend his reward along the activities at the festival.
"Crap, where did he go?" Belle thought to herself, "I wanted to thank him for helping me. Maybe i'll run into him again somewhere during the festival and thank him properly." Belle walked out of the building, gold in pouch, and turned back towards the reason she came here, The Festival.
