Kitchen
Eli grabbed Mrs. Tinsley's hand and took her into the passage, still keeping the door open so there was light. Hey you guys, this is Mrs. Tinsley, don't worry she's like the mom of the house.""Hmph! A mother with rotten children. Who are you young ladies?" Mrs. Tinsley asked.
Maya didn't answer. She shrunk back and stayed quiet.
"...I'm sorry miss, I think I misheard you. What’s your name?” asked Mrs.Tinsley again.
“Jamie Terri,” Mrs. Tinsley repeated. “Did she say Jamie Terri Elliot?”“Yes, Mrs. Tinsley, she said Jamie Terri.” Eli mumbled.
“Jamie Terri?”
“Yes, Jamie Terri.” Eli repeated again, slowly moving out of Mrs. Tinsley’s hitting range.
“You know, I think my hearing aids are acting up, because I could have sworn both of you said this young lady’s name was Jamie Terri. That can't be right, could it Elliot? Because Jamie Terri is one of the honored selected, and I'm sure my dear Elliot here wouldn't take one of the selected through a filthy passageway with no light, would he?" Mrs. Tinsley was staring daggers at Eli, who was trying to shrink into the wall.
"Yea-I mean yes," Mrs. Tinsley didn't like slang, "I was trying to help her! Her and Maya, that's the little girl. They got lost in the garden and I was taking them to their rooms.""Through that hole in the wall of a passageway?" Eli subconsciously moved a hand to face, to protect it from the holes she was clearly trying to put in his head.
He knew it wasn't the right answer, but he couldn't lie to her," I was afraid I'd get caught out of uniform."
"Well in that case, I'm going to glue the uniform back onto you! You'll never have to worry about it again."Eli paled, not sure if she was joking. He glanced over at the girls hoping one of them would help him, but they just stood aside. Maya, the little brat, looked like she was enjoying the whole thing.
"Now, here's what we're going to do. I'm going to take you innocent young misses to your rooms, and Elliot is going to go change and come back looking like a gentleman, not a street rat." Mrs. Tinsley turned to Eli and shook her head, "I swear Elliot, I don't know what I'm going to do with you."It was at that moment that Eli looked over at the kitchen door and saw Barry standing there with a wooden spoon in one hand and the other covering his mouth to hide his laughter. His white chef's jacket complemented his chocolate colored skin. Of course, this was behind Mrs. Tinsley so she couldn't see him. Eli would kill him, even if he was four inches taller than him and almost twice his age. Barry saw Eli’s glare and ducked back into the kitchen right as Mrs. Tinsley turned to start guiding the girls back to their rooms.
"Hey wait!" Eli bounded next to the three girls. "It was nice meeting you guys." He shook Maya's hair and held his hand out to Jamie. "Best of luck catching the Prince's heart."
Completely oblivious to Jamie’s feelings, Eli laughed and said, “Of course you’ll see me again, I’ll be at dinner. I just won’t be at the table, I’ll be one of the better looking wall ornaments.” He hugged her tight for about three seconds, and then went off to the guards’ quarters. “Shall we go?” asked Mrs. Tinsley, opening a door that led into the grand hall.
(I'm gonna go to the grand hall with Mrs. Tinsley)
(hmm, she can just go to her room, I was gonna have her be walked there, but that sounds easier)
Eli strolled through the passage, ignoring the "Jeez Eli what have you done now" comments and stares. Thanks for the help guys He wondered if it had been right to invite Cori along, but he guessed it couldn't hurt. Right now he had to help Jamie. "Barry! Where are you, you big oaf?" He walked into the main Kitchen to see Barry decorating a cake. "Aw hell Eli, now you've got two of them. Mrs. Tinsley is going to put you in my oven. That's a brand new oven!" Eli ignored his jibes. "Jamie just fainted, get her something to drink and eat, I'm going to go get Mrs. Tinsley."
Cori walked in. "Alright, make me some chai tea now!" She ordered to no one in particular. "It calms nerves and regenerates." She whipped out a pen and paper in case of details.
“Put her on the counter.” Barry looked down at her, she was so small compared to his 6’6 height. He had to be over a foot taller than her. “Don’t worry hun, we’ll take good care of you.” He grabbed a bottle of spring water from the fridge and opened it for her. “Take small sips, too fast and you’ll land in my brand new cake.” Eli went out to Mrs. Tinsley’s room, to get instructions on what to do.
Barry looked at the other girl, the one holding a notepad. He pulled out a chair and pointed to it. "Sit. I'll deal with you once Miss Jamie here can keep her head up on her own." Selected, Barry thought warily, think they are the center of attention to everything.
Cori got the tea and dipped a small napkin in in and placed it on Jamie's head speaking rapidly. "Eli caught you before you hit the ground so you suffered zero head-trauma. And fortunately, you didn't collapse on yourself so your legs are pretty intact." She checked her pupils. "You're gonna be fine. Do you feel like you're going to throw up?"
Eli walked back in, following a stern looking Mrs. Tinsley. "Move aside Miss. Monty, I can handle this." She removed the napkin from Jamie's head and gave her an ice pack instead. "Put this on your neck." Without looking at Barry, she ordered, "Make her some chicken noodle soup. Mostly broth and little bit of the rest. She needs something in her stomach."
Cori moved to the side a little annoyed. She wanted to help too. But she refused to act like a child so she complied.
(Ugh over capacity is driving me nuts)Barry smiled at Jamie. “You’re welcome Miss.” He looked over at Eli shuffling by the door. There was obvious panic in his eyes. The poor boy worried about everyone. He had lost track of how many times Eli went out of his way to help someone he couldn’t stand. Barry started making the soup.
“Jamie, are you cold? Do you want my jacket?” Eli wasn’t sure what to do. He was hoping for an order form Mrs. Tinsley. He saw Cori wanted to help too, and his irritation with her from earlier went away.
((oh yeah sorry I'm watching the devil wears prada, and making two other charries for a different roleplay at the same time))Cori looked from Eli to Jamie and back again. She decided it was best not to bring it up. "So, um... You're cold. Do you want some tea? It can work wonders."
Cori looked at Ruby in disbelief. "Are you okay?"
Cori's eyes followed Ruby to Eli's ear. Her eyes then darted to Jamie and back to see her reaction but she didn't move. She caught Jamie's eye and made a face and nodded her head toward Ruby and Eli.
Cori turned back to the whisperers. Gah, the reporter inside of her was dying to know what they were saying. She could probably pry it out of one of them later.
Cori walked over to Jamie, still lying on the kitchen table, holding the tea. "Drink this. It'll calm your nerves." She said with a small half-smile.
(Sorry you guys, I got kicked off because of over capacity, and then I got really busy)Eli took off his jacket and handed it to Jamie. He felt a little awkward in his under shirt, since it was about a size too small and slightly see through. Jamie didn’t take it though, it didn’t look like she realized he was offering it to her.
They were doing something. The girls that is. Talking to each other, they were looking at him expectantly, but he couldn’t hear them. Ruby came to him and whispered something in his ear, but he couldn’t understand what it was. He was feeling numb all over. It was like he was trapped in a bubble, where he could see everything, and they could see him, but he couldn’t grasp his surroundings. What was going on? Jamie fainted Eli told himself. Fainted? Why would she do that? Nothing was making sense. He couldn’t look at her. She was lying there on the metal table like…just like… “Ah!” Eli clinched his hand to his head, his mind searing in pain. He dropped his jacket.
Uncontrollable trembles rippled over Eli. He could feel himself begin to sweat. In horror, he watched Jamie fall off the table, and couldn’t force himself to catch her. I need to get out of here! was being shouted in Eli’s head. So he propelled himself out of the room, using his long legs to get to his room before his friends’ confused calls could reach his ears. Barry was the one who reached down to grab Jamie. He swooped her up just like Eli had and looked at Mrs. Tinsley. Her expression was the gray of a tombstone. Pulling ice out of the fridge, she wrapped it in a clean cloth and handed it to Jamie, instructing her to hold it on her head. She then told Barry to carry Jamie to her room. The King, Queen, and Prince would have to be informed of Jamie’s illness.
"Hun, you're in a bit of trouble." Barry was already holding Jamie and making his way to the grand hall. "Just close your eyes and lean your head back, you'll be in your bed in a minute."(I'm going to Jamie's room)
Ryan looked around. "no Bella" he said sadly.
((they should go to the garden next. i will get Bella and Holly to go there next))
((they should go to the garden next. i will get Bella and Holly to go there next))
he nodded and followed his aunt out, eating the cookie while he walked.
((you post first))
((you post first))
Bella lead Holly in. "James over here!" she yelled at her brother.
James walked over. "Hi" he said to Holly.
James walked over. "Hi" he said to Holly.
"Hello." Holly said politely her eyes lowered. She bowed her head slightly and looked down at the young boy.((Has he got a charrie profile?))
((sorry!! and no, since they will be at the castle only from time to time, but i am considering making them profiles too))
((Oh, and James is 11))
"no need to curtsey" he said "i am not a royal" he said "just a cousin. the names James. and you are?" he asked
((Oh, and James is 11))
"no need to curtsey" he said "i am not a royal" he said "just a cousin. the names James. and you are?" he asked
((oopsys, ill edit :3))"Holly." she smiled, he sounded regal despite claiming he wasnt a royal.
((now i am))
he smiled "pleasure to meet you" he said. "so how do you like the palace?" he asked
he smiled "pleasure to meet you" he said. "so how do you like the palace?" he asked
"It's very regal, I wouldn't have imagined this in my wildest dreams, and I hadn't ever seen any or the royal family before, so I didn't know what they would sound like or look like. But so far they have been ever so kind and generous towards me, and I don't know how I could every repay them." she said it with pure honesty, her face humble looking, slightly more like her usual self for a second.
he raised an eyebrow. "if you say so. i think that there are WAY too many rules. and have you met Thomas? he is such a pain it the butt." he said. "i rather be a six like my dad was, then be a cousin to the prince" he said
"JAMES!!" gasped Bella "how could you say that! Aaron is so sweet!"
James rolled his eyes. "i am not saying that being related to him is THAT bad. i mean it has it's perks, but he is always busy. when i was little, we actually hug out. now i see him once every 2 or 3 weeks" he said
Bella just glared at him.

Holly nodded."I would give anything for my family to spend a few precious days here. I mean I'm an 8 so really, I probably won't get picked, but I'll make the most of it while I can. You don't know what you have untill it's gone." she repeated her fathers wise words. She lived by that quote, valuing every little thing in life.
"good point" he said 'but then you als have the quote :live like there is no tomorrow" he said. "and i tend to do that often" he said
"I guess i kinda live like that to" she replied, remebering many snap decisions she had made earlier in life. She regretted none of these though.
he smiled "my kinda person" he said "have you ever gone swimming in chocolate?" he asked
"No, I can't swim, but I would seriously consider it if I could swim and had the money." she said in a serious tone, trying to hide her grin.
"well, i can teach you" he said
Bella watched them. she spoke up "but swimming in chocolate is hard. all you do is eat the chocolate and gain 10 pounds after" she said seriously.
James laughed "Well, you do that, i actually swim" he said "and eat" he added

“Oh my lord Elliot, what have you gotten yourself into now?”
Ugh. Of all the people to catch him it had to be Mrs. Tinsley. She was a thin old woman, in her late sixties, with silver colored hair tied into a bun. A loose bun, her hair was always falling out from trying to run the place. Mrs. Tinsley was the head maid and lately she’s had her work cut out for her.
“Another walk around the garden I presume? One of these days you’re going to get caught by someone other than me or Barrett.”
Eli stifled a laugh from Mrs. Tinsley calling Barry by his full name; only she could get away with it.
“Look at yourself,” she continued,” Your clothes are ripped and you have dirt all over you. Dinner is in less than two hours!”
Less than two hours?! Eli cringed at the thought. He needed to take a shower if he was really as messy as Mrs. Tinsley said. He looked around, they were alone for the moment. He’d have to risk it.
“Actually, Mrs. Tinsley, I kinda did get caught.” He opened the door to the passageway.
