It hardly seemed to faze Thackery when he felt another hand against his own, and he strained to keep his hand on the violet spot until Mordred noticed him and came to sweep him away to be his princess, or whatever more sensible thing actually happened.
"Hiiii'm Thackery!" he cheerily replied, managing to smush as many syllables of the small sentence together as he could. "I'm waiting for my Prince!"
He hadn't even made it through his introduction before he began to transfer his (admittedly meager) weight by crawling onto Koray.

The door clicks open upon the successful combination, revealing a large astronomer's tower. To most Knights, this would be a foreign concept, the room ceiling shaped like a dome, showing clear skies at the very top. A large cylindrical object facing the moon was pointed outside in the balcony, and there were maps of all shapes and sizes. A bookshelf with a bunch of dusty books lay to the left of the room and to the right a winding staircase.
In the very center of the room was a very large table. At first glance, curiously enough, the table was made of a strange, unusual substance, like liquid crystal. Words seemed to play on the table, and then immediately fade away.
In the far end was also square contraption just sticking out of the wall for some reason. Maybe it was to ward rats off?

THE ASTRONOMER'S TOWER
- Feel free to interact with any bold objects in the room. The WAY you interact with them is very important. RP it out. If you are NOT quoted, it means there is no response from your actions. If you ARE quoted it means something happened!
- This is a TEAM puzzle effort so feel free to continue trying. Please do NOT post multiple times until the GM (Zoobey) has posted a response, once they have you can try another action (regardless of if you were quoted or not).
- You have unlimited tries but can once again only post one ACTION per GM reply. So, if the GM does NOT reply, please do not spam different actions.
Example:
- Steve goes to examine the cylindrical object. He is curious, and tries to tilt it.
- Mary posts and says she touched something.
- Zoobey replies to Steve and says that he found a secret special snowflake crown underneath it. There is no response to Mary. However, this means that Steve AND Mary can now interact with something else/ continue figuring out whatever it is they need to figure out!
You can do puzzle searching simultaneously with Solos/ the other gm orps on chapter two. Good luck! Maybe a great secret will be unveiled
Koray paused...sighing as he let the other climb on him the youth looked up. "Thackery...I think I heard whispers of you and your.....loyalty to Sir Mordred. Can you see anything above the door?" he shifted to keep his hand in place and allow the smaller male to climb on his shoulder...
Well. Wasn't this a sight...
Koray jumped as the door freaking opened. OH CRAP!! Since the idiot had been leaning on the door mostly to allow Thackery to climb he fell forward...
Flat on his face....wonder how Thackery landed....

Oh, well, that had done it, she thought. Much like the rest of the knights, Hollandaise wandered in - catiously, though, and with a hand on her crossbow. She was almost reluctant to touch anything. Instead, she wandered around carefully, peering at the table briefly before moving along to the balcony.
With a grunt, she accidentally careened forcefully into the cylindrical object on the balcony. Ugh, that was going to bruise. So much for touching nothing.

Horace really thought that maybe none of them should be there. But the allure was real, and he found himself stepping in as well. The table especially, it glowed, sort of, and reminded him of the pool where his weapon had waited for him. He nodded at another knight with a similar idea to his. "Mind if I borrow this table corner?" For a moment, he hesitated, running a finger along the tabletop.
Nevertheless, he pulled out a piece of paper, placing it over the shifting words on the table. Horace was trying to copy the damn things before they wandered away.

[Lawrence]
Lawrence wandered into the tower on his rounds of the castle, hearing a bit of a commotion within and spotting a group of people milling around. There was a door ajar and he suspected it had been unlocked without permission.
The whole thing smelled like breaking and entering, also trouble with a capital T. Lawrence did not have a true sense of danger, but like all bottom dwelling reptilian creatures he knew when it was a good idea to move out of the light.
He left. Let other people take the brunt of whatever might come.

"What."
The squeak of absolute horror at the implication that he was anything but the most devoted directly preceded the opening of the door, but it opened so soon after that it easily could have been mistaken as a reaction to feeling himself falling through it.
But it wasn't. He'd handled the fall surprisingly well, landing on all fours--wait, it was supposed to be twos, wasn't it--and hopping right back up as though nothing had ever happened.
Which allowed him to very quickly discover that this wasn't Mordred's bedroom. Not the one he was familiar with, at least.
"Heeeey..." His eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Sir Great Knight Merlin tricked me!"

"Oh, not at all," Wilson answered immediately and stepped aside for Horace to move closer to the table. He watched him with the paper and hummed thoughtfully. Ah, that was a clever idea. The knight leaned over Horace's shoulder to see if he would get any of the words.

Kostya dispassionately watched as the door opened, and followed the herd, and then a bit more, attempting to go up the staircase.
OOC
My character's name: ser konstantin bashmet Character's journal link:here BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER
With dark brown hair and two days of stubble, Kostya is a rugged, attractive knight. Although he's not the tallest among the knights-- measuring in at only 5'7"-- his body is honed from the training he did in and around his native villages, sleek and whipcord strong. He prefers to work at range, utilizing a large crossbowshuriken as his weapon of choice.
In personality, Kostya leans towards the stoic, although a cruel streak in him leads to humor at other people's expenses. He traditionally carries around a small flagon of alcohol, acquired through whatever means necessary. He lacks true compassion, and cannot process empathy in any significant amount, leading him to take advantage of lesser folk-- by manipulation or force-- to get what he wants.

And just like that, they were in. Shun nodded to the others, commending them for their combined efforts to get inside. Carefully, he entered, looking around the room with caution.
"...I will see what is at the top of the stairs."
That said, he went to climb the winding staircase.
Lurks, on the other hand, was more interested in the grate, edging closer to it like a hesitant animal did to food. With squinting eyes, she stuck her tiny hand inside the grate, if it allowed it.
OOC
My character's name: lurks beneath Character's journal link:here BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER
Lurks is little more than five feet tall, including the voluminous amount of rags covering them from head to toe. Half cloak and half bandage, Lurks still looks like the beggar they used to be, before becoming a knight, as they're uncomfortable being exposed in any capacity. A high cowl or scarf always covers the lower portion of their face, meaning they're a little-bit muffled most of the time. They always carry a small corn husk doll, if only they could remember what it was for...
The only hint that they're a knight at all comes in the form of a paltry scythe, which is only a little bit taller than they are.

Merlin's surprise entrance and exit was startling enough to send Szczeosny back up against the far wall of the tower landing. He didn't get a chance to see what was behind the door, though why Merlin was up here when it was supposed to be Mordred was certainly a puzzle within itself.
Once other more color-accurate people had tried their hands figuratively and literally, though, the way was finally open. And Mordred was...
Not there.
As people scattered into the previously probably-off-limits room of mystery, the beak-masked knight gravitated toward the maps and examined them.
