"Well, let me begin by telling you a story. Once upon a time, there was a man named Maximilian Cromwell. This man was certainly born with the proverbial spoon of silver in his mouth. His parents, of royal blood, gave him everything he ever asked for. Years of this treatment taught him a false sense of entitlement. As this spoiled child came to be a powerful man, he used his power and influence to swindle the common people, claiming to be on their side," he spat bitterly, a look of utter disgust plastered on his face. He raised his glass solemnly. "The first Walker Machines of the newly formed Royal Guard, under control of Cromwell and his sodding sheep, fought against our Lady, the Queen. And since coming to power, Minister Cromwell has done his best to drain this once-great land dry. My plan is to take control back from him, in exactly the same manner that he first took it from our fathers. With a bloody war of walking armour." William finished dramatically, slamming his glass down.

((Why, hullo thar, Blue! Where've you been all day? Anyways...you missed the point of what I was saying about the letter. Only Raphael knows of William's plan to recruit usurpers...so, if some guy comes along and knows that fact, then that means he's a spy. lol There shouldn't be a letter. Just be patient...maybe you could stage a fight to get their attention. How's that sound?))

((Start a bar fight or something. That's what I'd do!))
Minister Cromwell? Was he planning treason? Erick was shocked. From what was just said, it sounded like this guy had a serious grudge against the government. He closed his eyes and pressed his thumbs against them, thinking back deeply to a few weeks before. Everything has a plan. Stick to your side, and things will work out in the end. Trust me. After a while, Erick opened his eyes again, shaking his head. Trust was what he had plenty of, and there was no way he'd doubt the one who'd said that. "I like my place where it is now. I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to help you out."

William felt the urge to lunge across the table at the cool man, but resisted. His face remained a blank mask.
"Fair enough. Out of respect, I will count you as an ally for now...but the time will come when I make the Empire and everything in it my enemy. Remember that."

A weak smile spread across Erick's face, and he met William's eye before glancing away. He hated staring. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. That bridge'll be crossed then."
"Well, ye two done wi yer banterin'?" Raphael had come back to himself, the pie slice gone from the plate. "In that case, is the pub open?"
"During the day? I think it is."
"'Kay. Ah'm buyin'. Willie, ye wantae come?"

"Oh, why not?" he said absently as he wound the pocketwatch for the twelfth time that day.

"Guid." Raphael stood up, Erick following suit soon after. "What was that place called agin? The Drunken Lamb?"
Erick pushed his chair under the table. "No, I think it was the Tipsy Maiden." Then he went ahead, calling to Amy that they were leaving for a bit.
"Oooh. Aye, Ah remember now." Raphael nodded to himself, patting William's shoulder to break him out of his constant winding. "Ach, lad, yer goin' tae break that. Ah 'ave one o' those, mahself. Wonder where it got tae..."

"I haven't the foggiest idea..." William said after the metallic clink of the watch closing. "I stole this one from Mr. Harland."
He put it away once more, and followed Raphael out of the building. ((the watch isn't really story-important...i just wanted to give William a set of quirks xd ))

((Lol, yah. Quirks be funny. =D ))
"Guid fer ye, then!" Raphael stopped for a second, getting his bearings. Then he turned right and set off for the tavern. Noise greeted the trio when they neared the door, a little ajar.
"This isn't going to be as fun as in a couple hours, though." Erick commented as they entered. It was half full, mainly of drunks who'd never left from the night before, or so.
"Aye, but this way we get th' best seats an' drink." Raphael chuckled.

William nodded and took a quick inventory of the pub's patrons. His eyes settle on a blue-clad gentleman sitting quietly by himself. Something told William that this dark-haired young man should be avoided. So he settled down at a table across the room, with Erick and Raphael. He wasn't much of a drinker, but he hoped to forge some sort of amity with the two men beside him. He was terribly lonely some of the time, and he was loathe to rule the British Isles alone.
"--and then she tells me I'm too young! I'm older than she is! Can you believe that?" Aishe demanded, gesturing wildly at the apparently empty space in front of her.
"No, ma'am Ah can't," Zeke mumbled distantly as he slogged through the muddy forests around Essex. Lincoln Gundam stood abandoned a few hundred meters behind him. It was not able to traverse the soft ground so easily, so Zeke left it hidden, and continued his search on foot.
"Keep in mind, we were just teenaged girls at the time...and there were half a dozen more of us in the camp. So you can probably imagine how well we got along. But, in the end, I got the Eye, instead of her."
"Yeah, that's inner-restin'," he replied, swatting the bugs that had come out to play in the rain.
"Well, I've got things to do. I'm trying to track down the other four users of the Eye. I'll call you later. 'Bye!" she chirped, and broke the connection. Zeke waited until Aishe had completely disappeared from his vision before speaking aloud.
"Lordy, good riddance! Ah can't work if'n ya cawl me every twenty minutes to chatter at me!"

((Lol, Silas, Blue's charrie is in disguise right now. XD))
Erick waved someone over and ordered a few drinks, taking full advantage that Raphael was paying. Whenever he paid for drinks, Erick felt bad even though he told him not to worry. He gulped down about a quarter of the mug easily, the liquid burning a little as it went down.
Raphael, however, was slower to drink some of his. He wrinkled his nose in distaste of the sharp smell rising from it, before actually drinking. It was an instant reaction to any alcoholic beverage, no matter if it was weak or strong. If you so much as get hopelessly intoxicated this time... Quit yer worryin'. He coughed and almost spilled most of it on the table as he set the glass down. "Agh...That went down the wrong way..."
