Nick is this poor dude who
somehow got his hands on a castle But It haS GHOSTS WOW The ghosts are shawn and samuel Samuel acts like a weirdo and Shawn actually talks like a semi intelligible person
Nick asks how they died and they explain, Samuel got killed in some accident where he has to talk about what happened SAMS FLASH BACK ::: *<Shawn (might change that) bumps into samuel in the street on his way for looking for the battle. Asks him how he is and samuel says a very nice fellow with a very lovely wife took him in not caring that he was crazy, they sometimes make me feel like a child. Shawn says he probably shouldn't talk about his wife that way, sam shakes it off> "Did you heed my warning about that dreaded castle?" "Nah not really. I looked around there, its cool!" "WHAT?!?!" "Yeah the place is actually really nice." "It's not the place itself you should be afraid of..." (probably some curse hah Ill think of something later) "What do you-" "Nothing you'll figure it out eventually... I have to go I was here because noah sent me out to get groceries." <Samuel runs away towards the fresh market and Shawn is like TF>* Anyway he gets the groceries but Idk maybe when he got home noah and izzy weren't there and he did something stupid that got himself killed hah
Shawn just says his death involved soldiers, Nick presses asking if he's from enemy grounds and shawn says no besides even if I were what good would being petty about who's on whose side do me when I'm dead now? "Well... can you at least do a flashback samuel did one."
Nick decides he can live with them and they become friends
Nick builds his 'empire' quickly after finding a fortune in the basement/ dungeon room place.
So Shawn goes to nick and says that if he keeps up like this without guard then people might steal from him
Nick says it's fine because he used to be a soldier
Shawn is like UR STUPID *"What? You think I can't defend this place on my own?" "It's not that... I just don't like soldiers very much." "Why so?" "They're just so... arrogant." "Oh I get it you have something against them because they remind you of your death." "...sure"
<shawn disappears>
Nick decides to look for recruits after a thief broke in (he killed the thief tho) He stops at the door telling sam and shawn to look over the place
He looks and an old friend catches his eye CRAAAAAIG He goes to Craigs house to ask him to join them but then Craig says he gave up that life a long time ago. Nick offers him a room at the castle and he declines saying he doesnt wanna bother them. Nick asks if Craig knows anyone else willing to join
Craig points to the guest room. "A homeless fellow by the name of Ashton is living here. He's a well known ruthless soldier *chuckles* but that doesn't exactly get ya any money. If you hire him though... please pay him well. I could hardly feed him well..."
Nick smiled and goes into the guest room to find Ashton writing a letter. Nick asks what makes him so ruthless and Ash explains that it's the fact he decapitated 30 men with one swish of his one sword, then he picks up his sword and messes with it, his serious face disappearing into a smile.
Nick says he'd like to hire Ash and Ash accepts. "Heres your first pay." Nick says and tosses a bag of coins to him. "Thank you sire" He says, catching the bag and kneeling. He only bothers to look in it once Nick leaves. He saw a good amount of (Currency). Craig also got a little donation which he was crying over when Ash peeked out the crack in the door. A transparent face appears in front of him and he stumbles backward on the floor, dropping the sack which spills out slightly.
"Who goes there?!" He pulls out his sword and points it at the door. After not receiving a response he kicks open the door aiming his sword. Shawn was there and the door phased through him... rip...
Ashton screamed and scrambled back. "Calm down I just wanted to see the new recruit... for a second I thought it was going to be that jerk out there..." "who? Craig?" Shawn nods "Pardon me sir, but Craig is no jerk. He is very generous. He's the first one to offer me a place to stay. "Whatever. So youre the new sOliverder?" "Ashton lane. Are you friends with the king?" "He's not a king. He is very rich though... and yes I suppose you could say I'm his right hand man." Ashton kneeled down "Sire..." Shawn snorted. "I'm no king, you weirdo." Ashton nods. "Right hand man holds the same rank." He stood up again.
Shawn looked him over. "You seem too nice to be a sOliverder..." he said mockingly Ashton prepares to argue his position but Shawn holds up a hand. "Save it, sweet cheeks. Im leaving. You might want to pick up your cash." Ashton is left in a flustered jumble as Shawn leaves. Shawn catches up to Nick and says "Boo" Nick sighs heavily "why exactly did you follow me?" "I was just curious, mellow out." Shawn crosses his arms. Nick shakes his head and walks faster "heyyy hold up I can't float that fast..."
Back at the castle Samuel somehow made a mess even tho he can't touch anything.... "I scared a cat..." he explained before disappearing. Nick laughed and turned to shawn. "I would ask you to clean this place up, but you can't touch anything either." "Just get the newbie to do it when he arrives. Say its a trial or something like that." "I think you're forgetting I'm not lazy like all the other rich people" nick says starting to clean Shawn huffs and goes away.
A little while later Ashton arrives. "I found the map to here with your pay. Thank you again. It's very generous to pay me even though I haven't done anything yet." Nick nods and says its no problem. "Will you join me for your first meal here" "Of course, sire, I would be honored!"
Ashton watched in awe from the dining table as Nick worked hard to make a whole meal for two. "Sire? May I assist you-" "I got it." He finishes while Ashton sits awkwardly. He sets a plate in front of Ashton and sits down with his own infront of him. They eat for a while in silence Ash breaks it "It's amazing, Sire." "You know you can just call me nick." "I apologize." "No need. Just enjoy your meal. It's probably been awhile since you had a proper one." They finished eating
They were talking and Shawn appeared.
He pointed to Ashton. "You killed me, you know." Ashton sat mouth agape and Nick looked at him. Ashton narrowed his eyes and realized. "Oh... you're that--- Sire may I be excused?" "Yes, Ashton. Shawn, show him to his guest room please." Shawn nodded and motioned Ash to follow. He did. It was a tense silence before they made it to the room. "Heres your room."
Ashton thanked shawn and ran in slamming the door in his face. Ash pressed his forehead to the door and
Shawn phased through the door. "You know I can phase through things right?"
Ashton fell back and shouted. "Well I didn't know you can disregard other people's privacy!" Shawn rolled his eyes. "Oh, please. I don't have to respect you. You killed me!" Ash stood up. "And I did that on the battlefield, correct? So why should there be any grudges? I was just doing my job!" "Well I wasn't doing mine!"
"you weren't a sOliverder-" "no. I took the helmet off a dead one to get close to the battle. I wanted to see you. You were a legend." There was a moment of silence. "Why did you question my position if you already knew?" "I wanted to mess with you." "I see... would you believe me if I told you I hesitated to kill you?" "No. To me it only took a millisecond for you to decapitate me." "I saw your garments, garments of a farm boy. I didn't see any weapon. And your eyes. They looked so pure as if they never saw someone die before." Ashton trailed off. He was crying. "How can I make it up to you?" He tried to grab Shawns hand but it didn't work cause duh he's a ghost. Shawn sighed. "I want to be able to touch things."
Nick was chilling out in the entertainment room with Samuel. "Samuel?" "Mm?" "Do you think we'll ever find love?" "Well, Im a ghost, bud. I doubt it for me. I tried to get the girl I liked because she was a ghost too, but she turned me down for this other ghost lady." "Thats rough." "Yeah but you still have a chance, being alive and all." Then there was a knock at the door. Sam vanished and Nick went to go get it. He opened the door to see Oliverver and Veronica. Nicks heart stopped when he saw Oliver. "Craig said you were hiring." Oliverver said flatly. Nick nodded and cleared his throat. "What are your qualifications?" Veronica gestured to Oliverver "Oliverver is a high ranking sOliverder. He prefers to fight with a double edged sword he works efficiently, easily able to hack enemies limbs off. N-" "Hes in." They look at eachother and shrug Oliver walks in. Oliver starts to explain veronica and how she guts people with her sword modeled after a pirate's sword but it goes over Nicks head. "She's in." Veronica smiles and walks in. "Make yourselves at home. Samuel!" He called out and samuel appeared, making Oliver and Vae scream. "Take them to their room." Samuel nods and floats over to them. Oliver hides behind Vae and eventually they establish that its okay that Sam is a ghost and whatever.
