Training and Trading

Diner anoucments

       The King sat down at the black and gold throne that had arose out of the ground. "Gentleman...You have been come here because some of you have deemed unfit for normal society. Here you will go through training of many kinds according to your wing. When you have completed your task for the day you will be awarded badges..." "s-so kind of like Boy Scouts?" Lefou asked. "Yes...somewhat...these badges will determine wether you stay here or not...Your first task will begin tomorrow after the tour. I just warn you though...there will be a famine here very soon, so I suggest you stock up one food and supplies and make sure nothing get stolen from your dorm house or during trading."

Everyone nodded and didn't ask questions, but Stanley spoke up: "Say..king...person-" "You May call me king Mortar, king of the lonely and forgotten!" "Yes, yes..king Mortar..will these badges determine if we get to stay? Like, if we get them all/get enough of them we get to leave?" King Mortar raised up a finger and replied: "That will he revealed with time, when you are let go you will get a letter saying so." Stanley sat down with a unsatisfied sigh, "yes your majesty..."

Lefou holds Gaston's hand under the table, he whispers: "p-papa...I'm scared..." Gaston rubs and squeezes Lefou's hand gently and replies: "it's okay little one... we'll get through this, I will protect you don't worry..." "tank you dada.." "your welcome baby..." King Mortar got finished speaking, standing up as the throne disappeared. "Now, Have a good night gentleman, and eat well! Tomarrow is gonna be a long day! Hahaha!" The kings laugh echoed out of the room as he walked off.

The men sat in silence for a few second before Robert speaks up, "so...what are we gonna do?" "Obey until we are allowed to leave I guess..." Oliver replied. "I guess let's dig in...who's knows if we're gonna the allowed to eat again..."

They all begin to eat, they eat as much as possible. When they are done large over the shoulder bags appear on there Laps, Gaston and Lefou's red, jeans and Roberts green,  Stanley and Oliver's yellow, and Tom and Dicks blue. All bags stitched with the black and red knife symbol they've seen on the letters.

They finish eating and sneak back some of the food into there over the shoulder bags, and sneak them from the dinning hall and into there houses, Putting then away best possible.

       Robert was putting away the food when Jean walked up, leaning back on the counter top next to where Robert was standing on a stepping stool, putting things away in the cabinets. "My god...What is this place...? We have to trade to get supplies, We've Been sent here Because we've been deemed 'unfit' for society... and now there's gonna be a famine..?! Oh dear..." Robert sighed as he stepped down and closed the cabinet.

"I don't know Jean...I wish I could tell you...oh and, By the way...did you notice anything strange..? Earlier..?" Jean looked at Robert confused, "what do you mean strange? Everything about here is strange!" Robert looks at Jean with a serious and curious look and replied: "I mean about the Kitchen...the kitchen was right behind Lefou remember? There was cooks and maids in there and They were starring at us all like we were prey! I even saw a few starring at us in the shadows...aren't you worried?" Jean took his hat off and held it to his chest, Looking down for a moment before looking up and responding with, "y-Yeah I saw...I hope we don't get raided or something..." "yeah same here...just..go to sleep okay? I'll make sure everything is locked.." "okay...good night Robert.." "Goodnight Jean..."

       As Gaston was putting things away Lefou played with a stuffed animal on the bed in the bedroom. Gaston sighed as he closed the door to The cabinet and walked into the bedroom, seeing Lefou made him smile. "Hey baby! How are you?" Lefou doesn't look up, he jsut giggles and replies: "I'se good!" Gaston's sits down on the bed. "Ahhh that's great baby; but it's starting to get very late okay? Go to bed." "But papaaa-" "nope, I don't wanna hear it, go to bed. I promise that I'll be here in the morning." "Aww otay, Goodnight papa!" "Good night little one..."

Gaston's kisses Lefou's head and They both lay down, getting under the covers and snuggling up to each other. Gaston's held Lefou as he sucked on his thumb, sleeping peacefully under Gaston's chin. Both fall asleep peacefully, Sleeping through the night...

      Tom and Dick tried to sleep, but they couldn't. They to had been followed by the shadowy people, the same ones that had followed Robert and Jean, and the ones Gaston and Lefou failed to notice. "Ugh..." Tom complained, I wonder what we're gonna have to do tomorrow...build a boat or something? I mean we are in the aquatic wing or what ever the fuck this is..." Dick lied next to the upset man, one of his arms being behind his head, the other arm resting on his upper stomach, just below his chest. "I don't know buddy but..."

He shifts his body to his side where he looks at Tom. "I'm sure we will be able to leave soon...like the king said, we would get a letter saying if we could leave it not at some point, so don't worry about it to much okay?" Tom sighs and turns over himself, getting the two of them under the covers, pulling Dick in close. Dick blushes and Tom replies in a sleepy voice: "mmm..okay..just, go to sleep..." Dick smiled, hehe, Alright buddy, Goodnight!" "Goodnight..."

Stanley was still organizing things around the living room, they had noticed the shadowy people that had followed them and the situation had made Stanley semi-paranoid. He was locking everything he could, windows, doors, chests; Oliver walked in on this and yawned as he looked at the paranoid Stanley very confused. "Stanley..? Are you sure this is all necessary..? You should really get some sleep..tomorrows gonna be a long day so-" "No! You can never be to careful..!"

Oliver just rolled his eyes and shook his head and turned around back into the bedroom. Oliver gets in bed and calms down under the blankets, falling asleep. Stanley comes back about three hours later, getting under the blankets himself, passing out as soon as his head hits the pillow. Both men fell asleep, both feeling a slight unease...
